Cryosurgery is a safe method for palliation of endobronchial malignancies causing airway obstruction. Due to its simplicity and effectiveness for controlling bleeding, endobronchial cryosurgery is considered to be a good method that is clinically applicable to a malignant endobronchial tumor. In cases with stenosis caused by an endoluminal tumor, cryo-recanalization with a cryoprobe was immediately effective in most of the patients. A novel technique described by Hetzel in 2004 to achieve rapid recanalization of central airway obstruction with endobronchial cryoprobe. Cryorecanalization technique is feasible and offers many advantages in the interventional therapy of malignant intraluminal tumors of the respiratory tract.

A tracheostomy tube serves as airway management for patients whose respiration is impeded due to inflammation, tumor, or traumatic events. If the patients who have tracheostomy tube, visit dental clinic for dental treatments, we should consider the underlying general condition of patients and then make treatment plans according to their state. A 22-Year old male patient, who had tracheostomy tube on his neck, came to our department for comprehensive dental treatment. Mild mental retardation was observed and he was taking anti-convulsant drugs for the prevention of epileptic seizure. Multiple advanced dental caries, hopeless teeth, and impacted third molars were also observed by clinical and radiographic examination. Due to the risk of epileptic seizure and low cooperativity to tolerate the treatment, general anesthesia was recommended by physician, and the anti-convulsant drug was administrated during procedure. In this case, we aimed to report the multidisciplinary approach for the dental treatment of patient having a tracheostomy tube.

This study aimed to examine the current state of music therapy for adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) by conducting a survey of music therapists. Completed surveys from 32 certified music therapists were included for analysis. The questionnaire was composed of 38 items that asked about the participants' background, work environment and music therapy implementation experience (including assessment, goal establishment, intervention strategy and difficulties). The results of the study showed that music therapy for adults with ID was practiced in diverse facilities. Enhancing social interaction was the most frequently set goal by music therapists, whereas facilities mostly required the music therapy services for emotional stability. Also, instrument playing was used most among music activities, and musical structure was considered most when choosing music for therapy. Among the influential institutional factors, characteristics of the facility were considered most frequently, and the level of functioning was the most considered in terms of client-related factors. To advance the effective use of music therapy interventions with adults with ID, development of music therapy assessment tools and more active communication with facility staff were also suggested when working with this population.

근래 기관내 삽관을 통한 보조호흡술의 발달과 각종 사고로 인한 경부외상의 증가로 인하여 기관협착증이 속발되는 빈도가 높아지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 기관협착증은 관강의 협소 및 관내 분비물의 저류로 인하여 심각한 호흡곤란을 초래하게 된다. 이러한 기관협착을 치료하기위하여 관강을 증폭시키고, 효율적인 기도점막으로 환원시키기란 쉽지 않다. 최근 3년간 본 교실에서 급성 기관협착 4례(기관외상 2례. 막성협착 2례), 만성 기관협착 6례(stomal stenosis 2례, cuff stenosis 1례, mixed stenosis 3례)에 대하여 기관륜의 재배열(2례), T-tube stenting(5례), 이개연골편을 이용한 기관성형술(1례), 협착부의 제거 및 단단문합술(2례) 등으로 각각 치료한 경험을 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Acquired bronchoesophageal fistula rare. Conservative treatment such as endoscopy is widely used. The recurrence rate after endoscopic treatment, however, is not well known. We report here on a case of a 54-year-old female who presented with recurrent bronchoesophageal fistula after endoscopic treatment that filled the fistula tract with $Histoacryl^{(R)}$.

후두암의 치료는 병변의 위치, 크기 등에 따라 치료방법이 다양하고 그 예후 또한 상이하다. 일반적으로 초기 후두암에서는 수술이나 방사선 요법이 비슷한 치료결과를 보이고, 진행된 후두암에서는 수술적 치료가 더 좋은 예후를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있으나 발성장애를 초래하는 경우가 대부분이다. 저자들은 1986년부터 1990년까지 5년간 강남성모병원에서 후두암치료를 받았던 환자 81명을 대상으로 치료방법에 따른 음성보존 성적을 분석하였다. 1. T1 성대암 환자 18명중 16명 (88.9%)에서 방사선치료 또는 수술로써 음성을 보존할 수 있었다. 2. T2 후두암 환자 11명중 6명은 수술후 음성보존이 가능하였다. 3. 진행암환자 (T3, T4) 50명중 33명에 대해 수술을 시행하였고 이중 16명(48.5%)은 후두부분 또는 근전적출술 및 기관-식도 누공술에 의해 음성기능을 보존할 수 있었다. 4. 진행암환자에서 유도화학요법과 방사선치료의 병용요법만을 받은 17명 모두 6개월 이내에 재발하였고, 수술 혹은 수술과 방사선 치료를 병용한 33명중 27명이 최소한 6개월 이상 평균 2년 이상의 무병상태였다. 5. 후두부분 또는 근전적출술은 총 81명중 28명에서 시행되었고 그중 5명 (17.9%)에서 재발하였다.

53세 남자 환자가 객혈을 주소로 입워하여 우축 상엽 편평상피세로 폐암으로 진단 받았다. 캄퓨터 단층촬영상 하부 기관에 종양의 침윤이 의심되었다. 우측 하엽과 중엽을 보존하기 위해서 우측상엽과 하부 기관외측을 포함하여 절제하는 기관기관지 성형술 시행하였고, 수술후 우측 폐의 팽창은 완전하였다. 수술 후 1주일째 시행한 기관지 내시경 검사상 우측 중엽과 하엽의 기관지는 뒤틀림 없이 잘 유지되어 있었다. 수술 후 항암치료와 방사선 치료를 받고 현재 환자는 수술 후 1년 7개월 동안 외래 추적관찰 중이다. 저자들은 우측 상엽의 폐암이 기관 하부를 침범한 경우에 우측 기관 소매 전폐절제술의 합병증을 피하고 환자의 폐기능을 보조하면서 침윤된 우측상엽을 포함하여 절제하는 기관기관지 성형술을 시행하여 이에 보고하는 바이다.

Background: Endobronchial tuberculosis is classified into 7 subtypes as fibrostenotic type, edematous-hyperemic type, actively caseating type, tumorous type, ulcerative type, granular type and nonspecific bronchitic type by bronchoscopic features, and we make a prospective study to follow up how bronchoscopic findings change during treatment-course in each subtype of active endobronchial tuberculosis. Methods: We planned to do follow-up bronchoscopic examination every month until there was no significant change in endobronchial lesion, then every 3 months and at the end of the treatment in each patient with biopsy proven endobronchial tuberculosis from May, 1990 to August, 1993. Results: 1) This study included 66 cases, but bronchoscopic follow-up was completed as scheduled in 47 cases. 2) In actively caseating and edematous-hyperemic type, bronchostenosis occurred within 2 or 3 months of treatment in about 2/3 of total cases. 3) In fibrostenotic type, bronchostenosis did not improve in spite of the treatment. 4) In tumorous type, the changes in bronchoscopic findings were unpredictable because new lesions occured on other sites even 4 or 6 months after treatment in 2 cases and the size of initial mass increased 6 months after treatment in 1 case (among 7 cases). 5) Granular and nonspecific bronchitic type improved without significant sequelae within 2 or 3 months of treatment. Conclusion: It may be necessary to follow up the patient with bronchoscopy repeatedly 2 or 3 months after starting treatment in active endobronchial tuberculosis, and it is better to perform bronchoscopic examination at 6 months of treatment, especially in patients with tumorous type because there is possibility that new endobronchial lesion occurs. Aggressive therapeutic modalities such as stent-insertion, laser therapy or electrocautery should be considered to prevent bronchostenosis in cases with granulation tissue, fibrostenotic and tumorous types of endobronchial tuberculosis.

Objective : The aim of the study was to investigate the job satisfaction of occupational therapists(OTs) who work in sensory integration treatment setting, and to analysis for factors influencing the satisfaction. Methods : Data were obtained from 62 OTs who had registered Korean Academy of sensory integration through a survey. Results 1 : Job satisfaction according to general characters: OTs who were above 35 years old and take the treatment course for sensory integration felt the highest total job satisfaction. OTs who are above 35 years old and have clinical experience under 12 month felt the highest salary satisfaction. OTs who are under 25 years old felt the highest promotion satisfaction. Female OTs felt higher colleagues relationship satisfaction than male OTs. 2. Job satisfaction according to work environment: OTs who work with 5 to 10 colleagues and work at private clinic felt the highest total job satisfaction. OTs who spend time treating patients more than 45 hours per week and work at private clinic. OTs who work with 5 to 10 colleagues felt the highest promotion and institute satisfaction. OTs who work at the disabled children care center considered change their job more than others. Conclusions : To improve job satisfaction of OTs, we need to consider size of organization, type of institutes. And we have to define role and specialty of OTs who work in various sensory integration treatment setting.
