방선균은 피부, 구강, 위장관 및 하부 여성 생식기에 정상균무리로 존재하며 증식속도가 느린 사상체의 형태를 한 혐기 그람 양성균이다. 방선균증은 방선균 감염에 의한 질환으로 대부분 경부 안면 감염증, 복부, 골반 감염증, 그리고 흉부 감염증의 임상 형태로 나타난다. 저자들은 급성 충수염으로 충수절제술을 받은 건강한 6세 남아에서 수술 후 조직검사에서 복부 방선균증을 진단하고 장기간 항생제 치료한 1예를 경험하고 보고하는 바이다. 복부 방선균증은 소아에서는 드문 질환이고 증상이 비특이적이며 균동정을 위한 배양검사가 까다로운 점이 있어 초기 진단이 잘 되지 않고 주로 임상 검체에서 특징적인 조직소견으로 진단되는 경우가 많다. 이를 통해 방선균의 특징을 이해하고 복통을 주소로 내원한 환자에서 정상균무리가 체내로 침입할 수 있는 선행 요인 등을 가진 경우 감별진단에 복부 방선균증도 염두에 두는 것이 바람직하겠다.

"Sanghanron(傷寒論)" can be approached through the understanding of the formulas. It is very important to correlate the efficacy of drugs and pathogenesis of syndrome. In this sense, the author examines the Paeoniae Radix Alba's efficacy. The Paeoniae Radix Alba[芍藥] used in Gyejitang(桂枝湯), Galgeuntang(葛根湯), Sogeonjungtang (小建中湯), Jagyakgamchotang(芍藥甘草湯) all have a similar effect. The Paeoniae Radix Alba supplies the tendon and blood meridian with bodily fluids, so it treats the stiffness and pain of the head and neck[頭項强痛], stiffness of the neck and back[項背强几几] and acute pain in the abdomen[腹中急痛] etc. Meanwhile, the Paeoniae Radix Alba treats difficulty in urination. It moistens the path to the excretion of urine included among drugs which increase digestion and transformation.

Intraperitoneal metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is uncommon. Although rare, it can spontaneously rupture and cause hemoperitoneum similar to primary HCC in the liver. We present a case of intraperitoneal metastatic HCC that had spontaneously ruptured and appeared as an irregularly margined hemorrhagic mass with T1 high and T2 dark signal intensities on magnetic resonance imaging. Ruptured HCC is a life-threatening emergency with high mortality rate. Spontaneously ruptured intraperitoneal metastatic HCC should be considered if a patient with a history of HCC presents with acute abdomen, although rare.

Intraabdominal cystic lymphangioma is an uncommon lesion. It is usually found incidentally in patients presenting with an acute abdomen. Laparoscopic excision of intraabdominal cystic lymphangioma is an easy and safe procedure in children. We report one case of cystic lymphangioma in a 6.year-old female. The lesion was located on the left side of the transverse mesocolon. Laparocopic excision of the cyst was performed without complications.

Chylous mesenteric cyst is a rare variant of mesenteric cystic lesions. Pathologically there is lack of communication of the main lymphatic vessels, resulting in cystic mass formation. Clinical presentation is diverse and can range from an incidentally apparent abdominal mass to symptoms of an acute abdomen. A 5-year-old girl presented with abdominal distension without pain. CT scan showed a huge and thin-walled cystic mass without solid portion. Laparotomy showed a $20{\times}18cm$ sized huge mesenteric cyst containing chylous fluid. Pathological diagnosis was cystic lymphangioma.

목 적 : 소아에서 급성 신우신염 진단시 computed tomography(CT)와 비교하여 $^{99mTc}DMSA$ scintigraphy (DMSA)의 상대적 제한점이 있음을 확인하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 64채널 CT가 도입된 2006년 9월 이후 3년 동안 급성복증이나 발열성 급성병증으로 복부 CT검사를 받은 환아 중 급성 신우신염의 소견을 보였으나 후속으로 시행된 DMSA에서는 이상소견을 발견되지 않은 'DMSA 위음성 환자' 10명을 연구대상으로 선정하여 이들의 임상상과 CT 소견을 분석하였다. CT촬영에는 필립스사의 브릴리언스-64 모델을, DMSA 스캔에는 Siemens사의 Orbiter 75 기종을 사용하였다. 결 과 : 총 10명 중 남자가 8명, 영유아가 8명이었으며 내원당시 평균 1.1일간 발열이 있었고 말초혈액 백혈구 수, 적혈구침강 속도, C-반응단백 등의 급성반응표지가 증가된 상태였다. DMSA 정상 소견을 보였던 10명에서 CT 신장환부 소견은 국소적인 경우가 6례, 미만성인 경우가 4례였다. 대개 일측성이었으며 양측 신장 모두 침범된 경우는 2례였다. DMSA에서 확인되지 않은 CT상 병변 개수는 총 22개 확인되었다. DMSA 비교신기능 측정법은 신손상 정도를 가늠하는데 도움이 되지 않았다. 결 론 : 본 연구를 통하여 DMSA검사는 CT검사상 양성인 급성 신우신염의 신장환부를 밝혀내지 못하는 제한점이 있음이 확인되었다. DMSA 위음성 결과는 주로 질병초기에 영아 환자에서 흔히 발생하는 것으로 보이나, 그 정확한 이유와 발생 비율 등을 밝히기 위해서는 전향적인 추가조사가 필요하다.

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and portomesenteric venous gas are uncommon radiological findings, but are found commonly in cases of bowel ischemia, or as a result of various non-ischemic conditions. A 72-year-old man visited an emergency center with altered mental status 2 hours after ingestion of an unknown pesticide. On physical examination, he showed the characteristic hydrocarbon or garlic-like odor, miotic pupils with no response to light, rhinorrhea, shallow respiration, bronchorrhea, and sweating over his face, chest and abdomen. Laboratory results revealed decreased serum cholinesterase, as well as elevated amylase and lipase level. We made the clinical diagnosis of organophosphate poisoning in this patient based on the clinical features, duration of symptoms and signs, and level of serum cholinesterase. Activated charcoal, fluid, and antidotes were administered after gastric lavage. A computerized tomography scan of the abdomen with intravenous contrast showed acute pancreatitis, poor enhancement of the small bowel, pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, portomesenteric venous gas and ascites. Emergent laparotomy could not be performed because of his poor physical condition and refusal of treatment by his family. The possible mechanisms were believed to be direct intestinal mucosal damage by pancreatic enzymes and secondary mucosal disruption due to bowel ischemia caused by shock and the use of inotropics. Physicians should be warned about the possibility of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and portomesenteric venous gas as a complication of pancreatitis following anticholinesterase poisoning.

Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst is a rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Pleural effusion and pneumonia are two of the most common thoracic complications from pancreatic disease, while pancreaticopleural fistula with massive pleural effusion and extension of pseudocyst into the mediastinum is a rare complication of the thorax from pancreatic disease. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no case reports of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst-induced esophageal fistula in Korea to date. Here in, we report a case about 43-year-old man of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst-induced esophageal fistula presenting with chest pain radiating toward the back and progressive dysphagia. The diagnosis was confirmed by an esophagogastroduodenoscopy and abdomen computed tomography (CT). The patient was treated immediately using a conservative method; subsequently, within 3 days from treatment initiation, symptoms-chest pain and dysphagia- disappeared. In a follow-up gastroscopy 7 days later and abdomen CT 12 days later, mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst showed signs of improvement, and esophageal fistula disappeared without any complications.

Studies on diagnosis and treatment of tumor . abscess . ulcer in intestinal carbuncle were carried out. The result of studies were summerized as follows: 1. By Nai-Gyung carbuncle-tumor arose from disharmony between nutrient and defensive because of cold, abscess arose from fever victory between cold and fever, ulcer arose from decreasing function of Bi-Kam year. By latter literature Bi-Kam year could be interpreted that spleen stomach was invaded evil influence from unattainable vital force of the earth. 2. Sites of intestinal carbuncle were large intestine, small intestine, intestinal inside or outside between large and small intestine, Intestinal carbuncle was common name of a disease about large intestinal carbuncle, small intestinal carbuncle, pelvic intestinal carbuncle, shrink leg intestinal carbuncle etc.. Pain appeared Chunchu-Hyul in large intestinal carbuncle, and Gwanweon-Hyul in small intestinal carbuncle. 3. On abdominal diagnosis tumor had indistinct pain of Gwanweon Chunchu, edema and heary feeling in low abdomen, no excessive pain by hand press and intestinal boiling sound. In abscess pain descended from right side of low abdomen to huckle, and there was rejection against press, feeling about fever,water sound with flank movement. In ulcer hand approach was difficult since excessive pain diffuse to whole abdomen, and perforating ulcer sometimes caused a serious symptom of umbilical pus. 4. On fecal and urinary diagnosis in tumor urine was yellowish red pollakiuria like gonorrhoea and occasional constipation. In abscess uncomfortable rough pain short red early urine like gonorrhoea appeared during urination, and constipation with stinging pain appeared during defecation. In ulcer red rough pyuria appeared, and stinging and pain with puruloid blood appeared during defecation. 5. On treatment in tumor Daiwhang-Tang Daisenggi-Tang Dangui-Jun by dissipation method, calming down method, interior reliance maturation method, in abscess Mokdan-San Euiiin-Tang Jeokduiin-Tang by the method of water repelling pus discharge, acute breaking, in ulcer Takridanggui-Tang Paljin-Tang Bojungikki-Tang were each used by the method of interior reliance, virulence astriction, supplement vital force and blood, supplement spleen stomach. 6. On treatment patient may have to be careful of excessive moving and suprising anxiety. Abuse of acupuncture and moxibustion made patient worse, misuse of analgesics purgative intestinal irrigation etc. could provoke difficult diagnosis and perforation. So you must treat after exact diagnosis. 7. Prognosis of ease tumor ease abscess ease ulcer and ease astriction was good. If the intestinal carbuncle were not to promote to abscess and ulcer for a long time, its prognosis was bad and it could metastasize to cancer because of dark purple with hardness. So tumor abscess ulcer in intestinal carbuncle may be significant of precancerous lesion.

결핵은 다양한 양상으로 나타나며 결핵성 대동맥 가성 동맥류는 아주 드문 질환으로 알려져 있고 급성호흡곤란 증후군 또한 드물지만 생명을 위협하는 결핵의 합병이다. 저자들은 결핵성 대동맥 가성동맥류와 급성호흡곤란증후군이 동시에 발현해서 항결핵화학요법과 혈관내 스텐트 삽입술로 성공적으로 치료한 환자를 경험하였다. 치명적인 결핵의 합병이 조기 진단과 빠른 항결핵제의 투여로 치료되었다고 생각된다. 따라서 결핵의 합병증을 치료하는 데 조기 진단이 중요하고 이를 위해 결핵에 대한 임상적인 의심을 높게 유지하는 것이 중요하다는 것을 보고하 참는 바이다.
