We present a uniform analysis of the ROSAT HRI and the ASCA GIS/SIS data for 79 distant clusters of galaxies in the redshift range, 0.1 < z < 0.82 to study the global structures of the intracluster medium. We have constructed an X-ray catalog consisting of the largest sample of clusters in the redshift range for which pointed X-ray observations were carried out with both the observatories. We determined the emission-weighted X-ray temperatures of the clusters with ASCA, while we studied surface brightness distribution with the ROSAT HRI utilizing the isothermal beta model. We investigated the statistical properties and trends for redshift evolution of the X-ray parameters including the temperature, the density profile of the intracluster gas and the gas-mass fraction within r500. We also present correlations of the cluster parameters with the X-ray temperature and with the core radius and compare them with the predictions of the self-similar model, from which we discuss the possible origin of the double structure discovered in the core radius distribution.
