A 44-year-old man with a past medical history of splenectomy came to hospital because of epigastric pain. Abdominopelvic computed tomography(CT) showed a soft tissue mass and multifocal variable-sized nodules as well as findings suggestive of cholecystitis. Subsequently, he underwent Tc-99m-labeled heat-denatured red blood cell(RBC) scintigraphy to evaluate the mass and nodules. The scintigraphy confirmed multifocal peritoneal splenosis in the abdominopelvic cavity.

신장 합병증은 당뇨병환자가 사망하게 되는 주요 원인의 하나이다. 성인 당뇨병은 주로 제2형 당뇨병으로 1형보다 상대적으로 신장의 합병증이 덜 발생하는 것처럼 보이는데, 이는 신장 합병증의 발생에 다소 시일이 걸리기 때문이다. 따라서 그 전에 심근경색이나 뇌경색 같은 심혈관계 질환으로 사망하는 경우가 많다. 그러나 최근 심혈관계 질환에 대한 치료가 발달해 생존률이 높아져 신장 합병증의 유병률이 높아지고 있다. 당뇨병환자의 교육을 들어보면 신장관리를 포함한 모든 합병증의 예방과 관리에는 혈당조절이 기본원칙이다. 그러나 많은 환자들이 혈당조절의 어려움을 겪고, 방치해 결국 합병증에 의한 사망에까지 다다른다. 신장질환으로 인해 복막투석이나 혈액투석을 하는 환자를 보면 당뇨로 인해 신장기능이 손상된 경우가 많다. 당뇨가 모든 합병증과 신체건강에 영향을 주는 것은 사실이다. 이번 호에서는 당뇨병이 신장기능에 미치는 영향과 혈당조절과 식사조절이 신장과 어떠한 관계가 있는지 알아보도록 하자.

당뇨병은 혈액 속에 포도당이 높아져 이에 따른 각종 합병증 때문에 심각한 후유증을 초래할 수 있는 질환이다. 이 중에서 신장 합병증은 중요한 당뇨병 합병증 가운데 하나이다. 당뇨병성 신증은 거의 모든 당뇨병환자에게서 나타난다. 당뇨병성 신증의 마지막은 신장 기능이 거의 다 망가져 혈액투석이나 복막투석을 받는 말기신부전 환자의 가장 흔한 원인이 바로 당뇨병이므로 당뇨병의 신장 합병증을 줄이는 것이 환자의 삶의 질과 직결되는 문제라 할 수 있다. 신장합병증은 초기에는 증상이 잘 나타나지 않아 항상 주의가 필요하다. 신장이 손상되기 시작하면 단백뇨가 계속 나오고 혈압이 오르며 빈혈이 발생하고 몸이 붓는다. 이런 현상은 포도당의 대사물질이 사구체에 쌓이기 때문이다. '사구체'란 신장 안에서 오줌을 거르는 일을 하는 모세혈관 조직으로 일단 손상되면 회복되지 않고 진행되며 이 상태를 그대로두면 결국 더 이상 신장에서 혈액의 노폐물을 걸러내지 못하는 만성 신부전증으로 진행하게 되는 것이다.

Meconium peritonitis is an aseptic peritonitis caused by spill of meconium in the abdominal cavity through one or several intestinal perforations which have taken place during intrauterine life or early neonatal life. We experienced three cases of meconium peritonitis with ileal perforation in two cases 1 day-old male neonate and 2 day-old male neonate, respectively, which had the chief complaint of vomiting and abdominal distension, Literatures are reviewed, briefly.

Intestinal tuberculosis is an chronic infectious disease and occur insidiously. 29-years-old woman who has abdominal pain and diarrhea is admitted and we have diagnosed her as Soeumin and treated by east and west integrated therapy. The results is as following, first Pyobyung(表病) and Ribyung(裏病) occur anytime without development of a disease(傳變), second Byungjeung(病證) is occured according to Sojeung(素證), third we decide the severity of Byungjeung(病證) in according to the shape and period of stool, forth we find that Byungjeung(病證) is change from Teaeumjeung(太陰證) to Soeumjeung(少陰證) during west medical therapy

A case of peritonitis caused by Actinomycotic spp is reported in a 12-year-old male Siberian tiger. Grossly, the mesentery was markedly thickened and contained numerous 1 to 3 mm diameter, white to yellowish foci. Fibrous adhesion showing tumorous thickening was also noted between the mesentery and abdominal organs. Histologicallyi the thickened mesentery and masses consisted of necrotic center with bacterial colonies surrounded by eosinophilic club (Splendore-hoeppli), neutrophils, macrophages, a few Iymphocytes and fibrosis. The bacterial colonies stained positvely with Gram's stain but were negative on acid-fast and periodic acid-Schifr method. Howeverr since the bacterial culture was not availablei the definitive causative agent was not able to specified.

Myxofibrosarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas in elderly patients. It often occurs in the extremities, trunk, and retroperitoneum. However, it is rarely observed in the mediastinum, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Herein, we present the imaging findings, with an emphasis on the MRI results, of a surgically confirmed anterior mediastinal myxofibrosarcoma in a 66-year-old male.

The purpose of this study is to propose an improvement plan based on an analysis of the current earth science teacher education curriculum in the department of education in the four fields of teaching profession theory: student-teacher practice, subject lesson education, and subject content education. The following are the conclusions and suggestions of this study. In case of teaching profession theory, too much emphasis is put on pedagogical theory over practical issues, and a problem arises upon completion. Therefore, it is sugguest that teaching profession theory might be completed before subject lesson education to ensure more authentic subjects performing teaching profession. The current term for student-teacher training is too short to understand the whole school system. Current school system does not have any off-job training course or internship system. Therefore, student-teacher training term should be increased by at least $3{\sim}6$ months to play a vital role in the current system. The credit number of subject lesson education is too small compared with subject content education. Consequently, the credit number of subject lesson education should be increased, and more professor majored in subject lesson education should be recruited. Significant deviation between the content of subject content education and that of middle school grade exists, and there is also much difference in the ratio of subject according to university. To get rid of these problems, subject content education should be connected with subject lesson education and appropriate number of credit needs to be assigned to each subject domain.

Background: Calcific degeneration limits durabilities of the bioprosthetic tissues implanted in the human body. The direct coupling sulphonated polyethyleneoxide(PEO-SO3) to the bioprosthetic tissues after glutaraldehyde(GA) fixation and the removal of residual aldehyde groups from the tissues can augment the effect of calcification-resistance. Materials and methods: To study the anti-calcification effect by PEO-SO3 modification and the removal of the residual aldehyde groups of tissues, surface modified bovine pericardia(BP-PEO-SO3) were preserved in aseptic saline to wash out GA(saline group) and 0.65% GA solution(GA group). And then above two groups and PERIGUARD (Bio-vascular. Co.) (product group) were evaluated with respects to calcium contents and microscopic findings using in vivo implantation models at carotid and femoral artery and peritoneum of 8 adult dogs. Results: In the tissues retrieved from carotid artery, calcium content was significantly decreased in saline group than in other two groups(saline; 2.89±0.31 vs. GA; 6.14±1.08 vs. product; 22.82±5.00 mg/g of dried tissue; p<0.05). In the tissues retrieved from femoral artery and peritoneum, calcium amount was also decreased in saline group than in other two groups, but not reached the significant difference between groups. On the other hand, the pathologic findings of pericardial tissues showed marked destructuction in GA group compared to the other two groups. Conclusions: In this study, covalently PEO-SO3 bound to bovine pericardium decreased calcifications and the anti-calcification effect of BP-PEO-SO3 could be augmented by the washing out the residual aldehyde groups using saline after GA fixation. Conclusively, the PEO-SO3 modified bovine pericardium is highly resistant to calcification and can be useful for the development of calcification-resistant cardiovascular patches and valves.
