뇌출혈의 원인은 뇌동맥이 고혈압의 높은 압력을 견디지 못하여 파열하기 때문에 일어나고, 뇌혈전의 원인은 동맥경화증이 중요한 원인이다. 따라서 뇌졸중의 중요 원인은 고혈압과 동맥경화라는 것을 알 수 있으며, 최선의 치료방법은 40대 이후에 정기적인 혈압측정 및 건강검사를 받아서 발견조기에 예방하는 것이 최선이다.

Takayasu's arteritis is a chronic inflammatory disease, involving mainly the aorta and its main branches, which can cause stenosis or occlusion. It involves the bracheocephalic, carotid, subclavian, vertebral, and renal, as well as the coronary and pulmonary arteries. The clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic to catastrophic, with dizziness, hypertension, claudication, cerebral infarction, chest pain and dyspnea. Takayasu's arteritis involving the pulmonary arteries, but not the aorta and its main branches, is very rare. Herein, a case of isolated pulmonary Takayasu's arteritis combined with pulmonary thromboembolism, and hyperthyroidism is reported, with a review of the literature.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the features, risk scores and risk factors for deep vein thrombosis in critically ill patients who developed deep vein thrombosis in their lower extremities. Methods: The participants in this prospective descriptive study were 175 adult patients who did not receive any prophylactic medication or mechanical therapy during their admission in the intensive care unit. Results: The mean age was 62.24 (${\pm}17.28$) years. Men made up 54.9% of the participating patients. There were significant differences in age, body mass index, and leg swelling between patients who developed deep vein thrombosis and those who did not have deep vein thrombosis. The mean risk score was 6.71(${\pm}2.94$) and they had on average 4.01(${\pm}1.35$) risk factors. In the multiple logistic regression, body mass index (odds ratio=1.14) and leg swelling (odds ratio=6.05) were significant predictors of deep vein thrombosis. Conclusion: Most critically ill patients are in the potentially high risk group for deep vein thrombosis. However, patients who are elderly, obese or have leg edema should be closely assessed and more than one type of active prophylactic intervention should be provided.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the DVT-related knowledge and compliance of hospital nurses. Methods: A survey questionnaire was administrated to a convenience sample of 367 nurses working at 3 university hospitals and 4 general hospitals located in Busan. Results: The mean score of DVT-related knowledge was $16.86{\pm}$3.40$ points out of 26, with a percentage of correct answers of 64.8%. The mean score of DVT-related compliance was $21.40{\pm}6.42$ points out of 32. There was a significant correlation between hospital nurses' DVTrelated knowledge and compliance (r=.309, p=.000). The factors for predicting hospital nurses' DVT-related compliance included knowledge of treatment and care areas, the subcategories of DVT knowledge (${\beta}$=.214), knowledge of the area of risk factors (${\beta}$=.105), whether to perform DVT prevention and treatment based on protocols (${\beta}$=.193), the existence of DVT protocols (${\beta}$=.168) and the degree of interest in DVT (${\beta}$=.102) and the total explanatory power of these was 21.3%. Conclusion: To improve compliance on preventing DVT effectively, it is necessary to improve nurses' DVT-related knowledge and interest in DVT through appropriate education. And, it is necessary to develop standardized protocols and guidelines.

Implanting a pacemaker is the most often used intervention for treating bradycardia. The most commonly used pacemaker is the intracardiac pacemaker, yet it can have many complications. An infected pacemaker can spread to systemic infection and the condition of the patient can quickly get worse, so if an infected pacemaker is suspected, then the pacemaker must be removed. Apart from the use of interventional methods such as a loop or a weight, we can take a more aggressive approach by using extracorporeal circulation for removal of the pacemaker. We report here on two cases in which extracorporeal circulation was used to remove the infected pacemakers.

고호모시스틴혈증(hyperhomocysteinemia)은 호모시스테인과 메티오닌의 대사과정에 관여하는 여러 효소들의 결핍에 의해 발생할 수 있으며, 대표적인 효소 결핍으로는 cysthathione beta-synthase (CBS) 결핍증, Methionine synthase (MS) 결핍증, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 결핍증이 있다. 이들은 고호모시스테인혈증을 보이나 임상증상, 메티오닌의 동반 상승, 거대적아구성빈혈, 메칠말로닌산뇨증등의 동반 여부등을 토대로 감별진단에 도움을 받을 수 있다. 본 연자는 뇌혈전증과 뇌졸중을 동반하는 고호모시스테인혈증의 원인으로 MTHFR 유전자의 돌연변이를 발견한 증례를 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Endomyocardial fibrosis(EMF) is an unusual type of cardiomyopathy characterized by a restriction to the ventricular filling and an obliteration of the inflow portion in the ventricular cavity by a fibrosis and often by a thrombus formation. The atrioventricular valve may be involved, resulting in an atrioventricular valvular regurgitation. The only known effective treatments are endomyocardiectomy and replacement of regurgitant AV valves. We report the experience of a case of EMF which required surgical management.

We present two cases of deep cerebral venous thrombosis(DCVT) with the totally occluded straight sinus. A 42-year-old female received with altered mentality . She has taken antihistamine for six years to treat the paranasal sinusitis. Another 34-year-old female who used the oral contraceptive for 11 months presented with acute behavior change . Both of these patients were diagnosed by computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance(MR) imaging, and cerebral angiography. They were fully recovered with systemic urokinase thrombolysis followed by heparin therapy. We report that the intravenous thrombolysis was potentially effective management strategy in our cases of DCVT with the totally occluded straight sinus.
