A Case of Sclerosing Hepatocelular Carcinoma / 대한내과학회지

Hepatoma is one of the most common malignant disease among cancers that occur in Korea. Recently, according ta developing imaging diagnostic technology and non surgical treatment the hepatoma is easily detected in early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. From this point of view, the histologic pattern of hepatoma is markedly important. This is the first reported case of sclerosing hepatocellular carcinoma, which is characterized by intense fibrosis, in which the tubular neoplastic structures are embedded. The incidence of sclerosing hepatocellular carcinoma is very rare. Therefore the rare histologic pattern of hepatoma might be introduced by many studies and reports. We recently experienced a case of sclerosing hepatocellular carcinoma.

Axillary Block of Brachial Plexus : A Review of 808 Cases / 대한마취과학회지

An evaluation of axillary block in 803 clinical cases, during the period from January 1974 to June 1979, was made. Satisfactory results were obtained in 756 out of 803 blocks (94. 2%) with the axillary perivascular technique. The authors feetl that the axillary perivascular technique in which a relatively large volume(40~50ml) of anesthetic solution was administered into the perivasculsr space of the axilla was simple, convenient and had no serious complications compared to the supra-or subclavian perivascular technique and interscalene block for a diagnosis and treatment of upper extremities.

A Clinical Study of Anesthesia for Cesarean Section / 대한마취과학회지

A statistical analysis was made of the fetal effects of anesthesia for 910 Cesarean sections, performed from Jan. 1972 to Aug. 1977 in Han Kang Sung Shim Hospital, Seoul, Korea. The results were as follows; 1) The incidence of Cesarean section was 14.4% of total deliveries. 2) More than three fourths of total cases were emergency cases. 3) Almost all cases were operated under general anesthesia. 4) The good physical state of patients resulted in a better Apgar score of infants. 5) The shorter the interval from induction of anesthesia to delivery, the better was the Apgar score of infants.
