Seventy-three patients with isolated total anomalous pulmonary venous connection the patients associated with other major cardiac anomalies such as single ventricle, DORV[Double Outlet Right Ventricle and large VSD[Ventricular Septal Defect were excluded were underwent surgical repair from January 1980 through October 1993. There were 45 boys and 28 girls. The mean age at operation was 19.9 months[range 6 days to 24 years and mean body weight was 7.1kg[range 2.6kg to 45kg . The anomalous locations of connection were supracardiac in 38, cardiac in 21, infracardiac in 5, and mixed in 9. In 38 patients[52% , the venous drainage was obstructed. The obstruction ratios according to the connection type were as follows: 53%[28/38 in supracardiac, 52%[11/21 in cardiac, 100%[5/5 in infracardiac, 22%[2/9 in mixed type. The associated cardiac anomalies were persistent left SVC[2 , tricuspid valve regurgitation[3 , cor triatriatum[1 , and mitral cleft[1 . And associated noncardiac anomalies were imperforate anus[1 and Neil Weightman syndrome[1 . The operative mortality was 23%. The causes of death were pulmonary hypertensive crisis, perioperative myocardial failure, pneumonia with sepsis, arrhythmia and etc. The statistically significant factors in postoperative mortality were the pulmonary venous obstruction and age [p<0.01 . The operative mortality was high in groups of age under 1 month and pulmonary venous obstruction. The mean follow-up was 27.1 months. There were two late deaths. The first patient was three months old boy with supracardiac type and severe obstructive symptoms. The postoperative echocardiography was showed anastomotic stenosis and reoperations were performed twice but the patients expired due to pneumonia and sepsis. The second patient was three month old boy with supracardiac type and total correction was done and was doing well postoperatively. Eight years later, he expired suddenly due to arrhythmia. But all the other patients were in NYHA Fc I and received no medications. The 5-year survival rate excluding early expired patients is 97.1 $\pm$ 0.03 %. In conclusion, although the operative mortality of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection was relatively high compared to other major cardiac anomalies, we could expect excellent long-term results by early surgical correction.

2010년 9월 남해 상주 앞바다에서 정치망으로 바다뱀과 엽상자어 4개체(TL 109.8~129.7mm)를 채집하였다. 형태적으로 엽상자어는 8개의 소낭이 항문 앞까지 존재하고, 전체 근절수가 141~151개, 전장에 대한 체고가 10% 이하인 점, 흑색소포가 항문 뒤부터 꼬리지느러미 앞까지 8~9개 분포하는 특징에 따라 까치물뱀속(Ophichthus sp.) 어류와 유사한 것으로 확인되었다. 형태적 결과와는 달리 미토콘드리아 DNA 12S rRNA 826 bp의 염기서열을 분석한 결과, 엽상자어는 돛물뱀속(Pisodonophis sp.) 성어와 100% 일치하였고, 돌기바다뱀(Pisodonophis cancrivorus) 성어와는 98.1% 일치하였다. 본 연구결과에서는 형태 동정결과가 분자 동정결과와 일치하지 않는 결과를 보였고, 이는 까치물뱀속과 돛물뱀속 엽상자어기의 형태적 구분이 매우 어렵다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 처음으로 한국에서 채집된 돛물뱀속 엽상자어의 형태적 특징을 상세히 기술하였다.

This study is a retrospective analysis of 1244 cases of the inguinal hernia in children under the age of fifteen years who were operated at the department of pediatric surgery, Inje University Busan Paik Hospital from March, 1997 to February, 2007. The ratio of male to female was 3.6:1. The type of hernia was indirect in all of the cases. The hernia was on the right side in 656 cases (53.9 %), left side in 467 cases (37.5 %), and bilateral in 121 cases (9.7 %). The hernia presented most frequently in infants under age 12 months; 364 cases (29.2 %). Fifty-nine cases (21.7 %) were in female and 305 cases (31.3 %) in male. There were 428 cases (33.6 %) in 1-3 years age group, 295 cases (23.7 %) in 4-6 years, 112 cases (9.0 %) in 7-9 years, 39 cases (3.1 %) in 10-12 years and 16 (1.2 %) in 13-15 years. The content of hernia sac was small bowel (59 %), omentum (31 %) in males and the ovary and tube (54 %) and small bowel (26 %) in female. The incidence of combined operation at the time was 3.2 %, and consisting of orchiopexy (67.5 %), frenulotomy (12.5 %), appendectomy (10 %), circumcision (5 %), and fistulotomy (5%). The incidence of combined disease was 2.8 % and consisting of undescended testis, Hirschsprung's disease, idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, imperforate anus, and congenital heart disease. After unilateral inguinal hernia repairs, contralateral hernias developed in 34 patients. The laterality of the primary site of hernias were left in 19 cases (55.8 %), and right 15 cases (44.1 %). The 936 cases (75.2 %) were operated under general anesthesia; Mask bagging 663 cases (53.2 %), endotrachea intubation 257 cases (20.6 %), and laryngeal mask 16 cases (1.2 %). The remainder 308 cases (24.7 %) were operated under regional caudal anesthesia.

McKusick-Kaufman syndrome (MKS) is an autosomal recessive multiple malformation syndrome characterized by hydrometrocolpos (HMC) and postaxial polydactyly (PAP). We report a case of a female child with MKS who was transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit of Seoul National University Children's Hospital on her 15th day of life for further evaluation and management of an abdominal cystic mass. She underwent abdominal sonography, magnetic resonance imaging, genitography and cystoscopy which confirmed HMC with a transverse vaginal septum. X-rays of the hand and foot showed bony fusion of the left third and fourth metacarpal bones, right fourth dysplastic metacarpal bone and phalanx, right PAP and hypoplastic left foot with left fourth and fifth dysplastic metatarsal bones. In addition, she had soft palate cleft, mild hydronephroses of both kidneys, hypoplastic right kidney with ectopic location and mild rotation, uterine didelphys with transverse vaginal septum and low-type imperforated anus. She was temporarily treated with ultrasound-guided transurethral aspiration of the HMC. Our patient with HMC and PAP was diagnosed with MKS because she has two typical abnormality of MKS and she has no definite complications of retinal disease, learning disability, obesity and renal failure that develop in Bardet-Biedl syndrome, but not in MKS until 33 months of age. Here, we describe a case of a Korean patient with MKS.

Objectives : The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of herbal acupuncture with Ginseng Radix for the treatment to intestinal disease in the rat with 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis. Methods : All animals were subjected to the injection of saline $(300{\mu}{\ell},\;500{\mu}{\ell})$ for a study control or TNBS $(300{\mu}{\ell},\;500{\mu}{\ell})$ into the lumen of the colon, 8cm proximal to the anus through the intestine. Ginseng Radix herbal acupuncture ($20mg/m{\ell},\;0.4m{\ell}$) were injected to the both $Hapgok(LI_4)$ acupoints at 2nd injection of TNBS in rats. Thus, the body weight, RBC count, WBC count, total protein, IgG levels and IgM levels were observed to study the effects of Ginseng Radix herbal acupuncture. Results : Ginseng Radix herbal acupuncture on $Hapgok(LI_4)$ for TNBS-induced colitis inhibited the body weight loss rate but did not affect RBC and WBC counts. Furthermore, it inhibited the reduction of total protein concentration and serum IgG and IgM levels in TNBS induced colitis were recovered. Conclusions : Herbal acupuncture with Ginseng Radix helps recover the TNBS-induced colonic damage and may be an important method for treatment of the colitis.
