Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by profuse jelatinous materials in the abdominal cavity and pelvis with mucinous implants on the peritoneal surface. There are some studies for serum tumor markers, including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), to assess the risk of recurrence following cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. However, rare cases were reported about recurrence with increasing serum CEA levels. Herein, we report a case of recurrence of PMP according to serially elevated serum CEA.

A 77-year-old man presented with abdominal discomfort and was diagnosed as Borrmann type 3 advanced gastric cancer with multiple lymph node metastases. An abdominal computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed AGC, clinical stage IIIC (T4aN3M0). We started neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil (5-FU))+Leucovorin+Oxaliplatin). After 3 cycles of FOLFOX chemotherapy, follow-up endoscopy showed remarkable improvement. Primary lesion and metastatic lymph nodes decreased size on follow up computed tomography (CT). The patient underwent radical total gastrectomy with esophagojejunostomy and histopathology revealed no remnant malignant cells at previous primary cancer lesion. The patient has currently completed his 3 cycle of adjuvant chemotherapy without recurrence. After an abdominal CT response assessment, further course of therapy will be decided.

배경: 이번 연구의 목적은 체내이식형 양심실 보조장치의 개발을 위한 안전하고 간편한 동물실험 모델을 확립하는 것이며 이동작동형 완전 인공심장의 양심실 보조장치로의 사용 가능성을 알아보는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 7마리의 Corridale 양을 대상으로 실험하였다. 5번째 늑간극을 통하여 좌측 개흉술을 시행하고 좌측 유출로 캐뉼라는 하행 대동맥에 Dacron graft을 사용하여 연결하였고 유입로 캐뉼라는 좌심방에 삽입하였다. 우측 유출로 캐뉼라는 하행 대동맥과 같은 방법으로 주폐동맥에 연결하였으며 유입로 캐뉼라는 혜동맥을 하방으로 젖혀 우심방이를 노출시킨 다음 우심방이에 삽입하였다. 4마리에 있어서는 양심실 보조장치를 전복막강(preperitoneal space)에 위치시켰으며 2마리에 촤측흉강 내에, 1마리에서는 외부에 위치시켰다. aPTT는 수술전 aPTT의 2∼2.5배로 맞추어 주었다 결과: 수술중 또는 수술직후 사망한 경우는 없었으며 7마리 모두 인공호흡기 이탈이 가능하였고 스스로 기립하고 음식물 섭취도 가능하였다. 1마리는 술후 2일째 혈전 색전증 및 인공호흡기 작동 잘못으로 사망하였으며 2마리의 겨우는 술후 2일째 각각 양심실 보조장치의 작동 잘못 및 호흡부전으로 사망하였고, 3마리의 경우는 술후 4일째 혈전색전증으로 인한 급성신부전 및 호흡부전 등으로 사망하였다. 1마리에 있어서는 28일간 생존하였으며 양심실 보조장치의 구동 장치에 연결된 라인의 마로로 인해 양심실 보조장치의 작동이 정지되었으나 바로 양심실 보조장치를 제거하고 살릴 수 있었다. 모든 경우에 있는 캐뉼라를 삽입하고 양심실 보조장치를 작동시키는데 큰 어려움이 없었다. 7마리 중 4마리에서 혈전이 발견되었으며 특히 판막을 연결한 부위에 혈전생성이 많았다. 그러나 캐뉼라에는 혈전생성이 없었다. 결론: 양에 있어서 좌측 개흉술 및 전복막강 공간에 양심실 보조장치를 위치시키는 이번 동물실험 모델은 체내 이식형 양심실 보조장치 개발을 위한 좋은 동물실험 모델이라고 생각된다. 또한 디동 작동기형 완전 인공심장의 혈전생성을 억제할수 있는 방법들의 연구개발이 지속된다면 장기간의 체내 이식형 양심실 보조장치로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: To find the factors of subjective musculoskeletal symptoms associated with the general characteristics and tasks of operating room nurses (OR nurses) and then to use the factors as basic information for preventing and managing musculoskeletal symptoms in OR nurses. Method: This study was an exploratory research. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire from OR nurses working at 8 polyclinics in Korea during the period from July 26 2004 to August 19 2004. The questionnaire contains 7 questions on general characteristics and 18 questions on tasks in the operating room. Result: 187 (75.1%) nurses said they 'had' subjective musculoskeletal symptoms. Statistically significant differences were observed according to clinical career, career as an OR nurse, skillfulness, satisfaction with tasks in the operating room, perception on suitable treatment, care of symptoms by the hospital. weight of hospital linen and weight of a basic operation set (p<.05). Conclusion: Musculoskeletal symptoms complained of by OR nurses were significant. This may cause difficulties in nursing tasks in the operating room. Thus, various arrangements should be made for OR nurse with subjective musculoskeletal symptoms at the early stage.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the experience of securing patient safety in hospital operating rooms. Methods: Experiential data were collected from 15 operating room nurses through in-depth interviews. The main question was "Could you describe your experience with patient safety in the operating room?". Qualitative data from the field and transcribed notes were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory methodology. Results: The core category of experience with patient safety in the operating room was 'trying to maintain principles of patient safety during high-risk surgical procedures'. The participants used two interactional strategies: 'attempt continuous improvement', 'immersion in operation with sharing issues of patient safety'. Conclusion: The results indicate that the important factors for ensuring the safety of patients in the operating room are manpower, education, and a system for patient safety. Successful and safe surgery requires communication, teamwork and recognition of the importance of patient safety by the surgical team.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors related to the organizational citizenship behavior of nurses in the operating room (OR). These factors include positive psychological capital, perceived organizational culture, and job characteristics. Methods: A descriptive correlational study design was used. A total of 185 OR nurses from nine general and advanced general hospitals across three metropolitan areas in South Korea completed the questionnaires. The questionnaires included items on organizational citizenship behavior, positive psychological capital, organizational culture, and job characteristics. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were conducted using SPSS/WIN 21.0. Results: The mean score for organizational citizenship behavior was 3.62 out of 5. Positive psychological capital, relationship-oriented organizational culture, and feedback on job characteristics were verified as influencing factors of OR nurses' organizational citizenship behaviors. The explanatory power of this regression model was 48.2%. Conclusion: Reinforcement of positive psychological capital of individual OR nurses and organizational efforts to endorse relationship-oriented organizational culture is required. It follows that OR nurses' organizational citizenship behavior can be enhanced based on mutual trust, cohesiveness, and feedback on their work performance.

병원은 환자가 모여 치료를 받는 곳이지만 이곳에 모인 대부분의 환자 중 맡은 사람이 감염증을 갖고 있거나 다른 환자에 대해 전염원이 될 가능성이 있으며 병에 대한 감수성이 높다(홍영이, 1983). 즉, 백혈병 및 암 환자들이 (특히, 골수암) 수술실에서 수술을 마치고 무균실로 옮기는 과정이나 골수이식을 받을 경우 병원 내에서 이동할 때 저항력이 없는 상태에서 외부 병원균으로부터 신체 내에 감염을 막을 방법이 현재로서는 전혀 없다(산업자원부 2002). (중략)

In the early 1990's the clean room system was a new trend of the operating room. This is the concept using in seminconductor plants. That is what the space around the operating table so clean as it remove contaminations with circulation of interior air. These articles describe the standard of interior construction and drawing details.
