서론: 급성 관동맥 증후군과 심근경색증의 진단과 예후 예측에 도움을 주는 새로운 심효소인자가 여러 가지 발견이 되어 현재 응급의료센터에서도 기본적으로 허혈성 흉통이 있는 환자에게 많이 사용하고 있다. 특히 최근에는 troponin과 CK-MB의 유용성에 대해서 많이 언급을 하고 있다. CRP도 역시 급성 관상동맥증후군에서 중요성이 인식되고 있다. 저자들은 세 가지 인자를 동시에 평가하여 상승되는 인자 수에 따라 그 중요성이 다를 수 있다는 가정 하에 총체적인 환자에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있고, 응급실 근무 의사에게 급성 심근 경색증 환자를 좀 더 효율적으로 평가 할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 다표지 인자에 관한 연구를 시작하였다. 방법: 저자들은 응급의료센터에 내원한 급성 허혈성 흉통이 있는 환자 중 심효소 검사와 심전도에서 급성 심근 경색증에 합당한 소견을 보이고 이후 검사한 심혈관 조영술에서 심근경색증으로 확진된 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 내원 초기에 troponin T와 CK-MB, CRP를 동시에 측정하였고 또한 후향적으로 환자에 대한 기본적인 특징과 정보, 심전도 소견, 합병증 발생, 심혈관 조영술 소견과 경색관련 혈관 수, 치료 및 치료결과 등에 대한 자료를 정리하여 분석하여 보았다. 이때 환자는 두 군으로 나누어 분석하였는데, 1군은 증가된 효소수가 1개 이하인 경우이고, 2군은 2개 또는 3개 및 좌주관상동맥을 포함한 경우로 하였다. 결과: 전체 130명의 환자가 대상이 되었고, 1군 40례, 2군 90례로 2군이 훨씬 많았다. 과거력에서 이전에 관동맥 성형술을 시술받은 경우가 2군에서 유의 있게 많았다(p<0.05). 이전의 약물 복용은 전체적으로 1군에서 많았으나 질산제 복용(p<0.05)을 제외하고는 의의가 없었다. 치료는 혈전용해제 사용이 오히려 1군에서 의의있게 많았으나(p<0.05), 합병증으로 쇽이나 폐부종을 동반한 경우가 2군에서 많았다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 6개월 추적 기간중의 사건 발생이나 합병증, 예후 결과에 대한 양군간의 차이를 발견하지 못했다. 결론: 급성 심근경색증 환자에게 다표지 인자를 이용한 접근법을 적용한 결과, 기본적으로 환자에 대한 몇 가지 정보, 즉 과거에 약물 투여 여부와 혈전용해제 사용, 혈관성형술을 시술 받은 경력과 같은 기초자료에 대한 제한적인 차이를 발견할 수 있었으나, 본 연구에서는 다표지 인자를 이용하여 추적기간중 환자의 상태와 예후를 평가하고 합병증을 조기에 예측한다든지 하는 중요한 역할을 발견하지 못하였다. 그래서 향후 이에 대한 제한점을 해결한 더 보완된 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

혈관내에서의 비정상적인 혈소판의 활성화는 혈소판 응괴 또는 혈전 형성을 초래함으로서 동맥경화증, 심근 경색증, 혈전중등의 허혈성 질환의 발현에 직접 또는 간접적인 원인으로서 주목되고 있다. 본 연구자 등은 천연물로부터 혈소판 응집억제작용 물질의 개발을 목표로 하여 한약 또는 민간약의 형태로서 관련질환에 사용되어온 식물생약 약 40종을 검색하였으며 이들중 혈소판 응집억제작용을 갖는 식물로부터 작용 물질의 분리를 계속하여 오고있다. 본 실험에서는 작약을 메타놀로 추출하고 작용을 추적하면서 용매로 분획하였으며, 작용분획인 Et0Ac fr.으로부터 methyl gallate를 분리하였다. Methyl gallate는 오가피로부터 작용성분으로서 이미 분리 보고된 protocatechuic acid 및 artifact인 ethyl protocatechuate와 구조적으로 매우 유사하여 이들 analogs 수종에 대하여 작용을 비교 검색하였다.

Post-AMI VSD is an infrequent but often catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction In general, the mortality is associated with end organ failure due to low output syndrome. Therefore, a stable hemodynamic is necessary to prevent the end organ failure. If a supportive therapy does not accomplish it, surgical intervention should be considered. Recently, we have experinced a case of post-AMI VSD with cardiogenic shock. Early recognition and surgical repair of post-AMI VSD gave us a good result. Postoperative result was satisfactory and recovery was uneventful. We believe that early surgical repair can be lifesaving in the case of post-AMI VSD with cardiogenic shock.
