Microsurgical free-tissue transfer has allowed surgeons to salvage injured limbs but choosing appropriate healthy recipient vessels has proved to be a difficult problem. Retrograde flow flaps are established in island flaps. Retrograde flow anastomosis could prevent the possible kinking and twisting of the arterial anastomosis. By not interrupting the proximal blood flow to the fracture or soft tissue defect site, the compromise of fracture or wound healing might be prevented. We wished to estabilish an animal model in rat for a retrograde arterial flow based free flap. Nembutal-anesthetized male rats; weighing 250 to 300 gm, were used. The femoral artery and common carotid artery were exposed and divided. The systemic and retrograde arterial pressure were quantified by utilizing a parallel tubing system connected with peripheral arterial line. In this study, the retrograde flow was not pulsatile and the retrograde arterial pressure was 64-65mmHg, with a mean arterial pressure of 106-109mmHg. An epigastiic skin flap, measuring $3{\times}3cm$, was raised with its vascular pedicle. The epigastric free flap was transfered in the same rat from femoral vessels to carotid vessels in end to end fashion. We anastomosed the donor arteries to the distal parts of the divided recipient arteries and the donor veins to the proximal parts of the recipient veins. Twelve experiments were performed and the transplantations succeeded in 75 percent of them. In the remaining 25 percent, the experiments failed due to thrombosis at the site of anastpmosis, or other causes. This animal model represents an excellent example of retrograde arterial flow free flap transfer that is reliable.

[Purpose] Weight loss can reduce obesity-induced arterial stiffening that is attributed to decreased inflammation. Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) is a pro-inflammatory adipokine that is upregulated in obesity and is important in the progression of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of dietary modification on circulating ANGPTL2 levels and arterial stiffness in overweight and obese men. [Methods] Twenty-two overweight and obese men (with mean age of 56 ± 2 years and body mass index of 28.6 ± 2.6 kg/m²) completed a 12-week dietary modification program. We measured the arterial compliance and β-stiffness index (as the indices of arterial stiffness) and serum ANGPTL2 levels before and after the program. [Results] After the 12-week dietary modification, body mass and daily energy intake were significantly reduced. Arterial compliance was significantly increased and β-stiffness index was significantly decreased after the 12-week dietary modification program. Serum ANGPTL2 levels were significantly decreased. Also, the changes in arterial compliance were negatively correlated with the changes in serum ANGPTL2 levels, whereas the changes in β-stiffness index were positively correlated with the changes in serum ANGPTL2 levels. [Conclusion] These results suggest that the decrease in circulating ANGPTL2 levels can be attributed to the dietary modification-induced reduction of arterial stiffness in overweight and obese men.

관상동맥 우회술에서 동맥도관만을 사용하는 방법은 동맥편이 가진 도관개통률의 우수성 때문에 복재정맥을 혼합하여 사용하는 관상동맥 우회술에 비해 좋은 단기 성적은 물론이고, 향상된 장기 성적을 기대할 수 있다. 그러나 때때로 내흉동맥 또는 다른 동맥편들의 사용이 가능하지 않은 경우가 있고, 특히 당뇨환자에서 양측 내흉동맥의 사용은 술 후 종격동염을 비롯한 합병증을 우려하여 사용이 꺼려지기도 한다. 또한 관상동맥 우회술의 재수술의 경우에는 사용가능한 동맥편 수의 제한이 문제가 되는데 이러한 경우 대체동맥편으로서 흉배동맥을 사용할 수 있으며, 저자들은 흉배동맥을 사용하여 시행했던 3례의 관상동맥 우회술을 보고하고자 한다.

Purpose: Arterial injury in children is a challenging problem for its special characteristics. It is rare even during warfare. This review described a personal experience in the management and outcome of acute pediatric arterial injuries of extremities. Methods: Thirty-six children below age of 13 years were studied during period from 2004 through 2014 in Iraq. Results: Male patients were 27 (75%) and female were 9 (25%). Seven to twelve years old was the most affected age group. The incidence of iatrogenic injuries was greater in infants and toddlers while penetrating injuries were the most common in older children. Upper limbs arteries were affected in 17 (47.2%) and lower limb in 19 (52.8%) patients. Hard signs were the commonest mode of presentation (83.3%). Lateral wall tear and complete transection were the most frequent types of arterial injury (36.1% and 27.8% respectively). The most frequent procedures performed were end-to-end anastomosis and lateral arteriorrhaphy. Surgical outcome was good. In 27 cases distal pulsations were regained. Seven cases had impalpable distal pulses but still viable limbs. Limb length discrepancy was detected in one case. One case was complicated with limb loss. No death was recorded. Conclusion: Arterial injuries in children are age related. The proper treatment of arterial injuries in children requires high index of suspicion, early operative intervention and continuous postoperative follow-up throughout years of active growth. Angiogram has a limited role as a diagnostic tool in acute arterial injuries.

In 20 normal cases and 39 pulmonary tuberculosis cases, regional pulmonary arterial blood flow measurements and lung perfusion scans by $^{131}I$-Macroaggregated albumin, lung inhalation scans by colloidal $^{198}Au$ and spirometries by respirometer were done at the Radiological Research Institute. The measured lung function tests were compared and the results were as the following: 1. The normal distribution of pulmonary blood flow was found to be $54.5{\pm}2.82%$ to the right lung and $45.5{\pm}2.39%$ to the left lung. The difference between the right and left pulmonary arterial blood flow was significant statistically (p<0.01). In the minimal pulmonary tuberculosis, the average distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $52.5{\pm}5.3%$ to the right lung and $47.5{\pm}1.0%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was in the right lung, and $56.2{\pm}4.4%$ to the right lung and $43.8{\pm}3.1%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was in the left lung. The difference of pulmonary arterial blood flow between the right and left lung was statistically not significant compared with the normal distribution. In the moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, the average distripution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $26.9{\pm}13.9%$ to the right lung and $73.1{\pm}13.9%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was more severe in the right lung, and $79.6{\pm}12.8%$ to the right lung and $20.4{\pm}13.0%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was more severe in the left lung. These were found to be highly significant statistically compared with the normal distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow (p<0.01). When both lungs were evenly involved, the average distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $49.5{\pm}8.01%$ to the right lung and $50.5{\pm}8.01%$ to the left lung. In the far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, the average distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $18.5{\pm}11.6%$ to the right lung and $81.5{\pm}9.9%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was more severe in the right lung, and $78.2{\pm}8.9%$ to the right lung and $21.8{\pm}10.5%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was more severe in the left lung. These were found to be highly significant statistically compared with the normal distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow (p<0.01). When both lungs were evenly involved the average distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $56.0{\pm}3.6%$ to the right lung and $44.0{\pm}3.2%$ to the left lung. 2. Lung perfusion scan by $^{131}I$-MAA in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was as follows: a) In the pretreated minimal pulmonary tuberculosis, the decreased area of pulmonary arterial blood flow was corresponding to the chest roentgenogram, but the decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow was more extensive than had been expected from the chest roentgenogram in the apparently healed minimal pulmonary tuberculosis. b) In the pretreated moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, the decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow to the diseased area was corresponding to the chest roentgenogram, but the decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow was more extensive in the treated moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis as in the treated minimal pulmonary tuberculosis. c) Pulmonary arterial blood flow in the patients with far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis both before and after chemotherapy were almost similar to the chest roentgenogram. Especially the decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow to the cavity was usually greater than had been expected from the chest roentgenogram. 3. Lung inhalation scan by colloidal $^{198}Au$ in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was as follows: a) In the minimal pulmonary tuberculosis, lung inhalation scan showed almost similar decrease of radioactivity corresponding to the chest roentgenogram. b) In the moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis the decrease of radioactivity in the diseased area was partly corresponding to the chest roentgenogram in one hand and on the other hand the radioactivity was found to be normally distributed in stead of tuberculous lesion in the chest roentgenogram. c) In the far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, lung inhalation scan showed almost similar decrease of radioactivity corresponding to the chest roentgenogram as in the minimal pulmonary tuberculosis. 4. From all these results, it was found that the characteristic finding in pulmonary tuberculosis was a decrease in pulmonary arterial blood flow to the diseased area and in general decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow to the diseased area was more extensive than had been expected from the chest roentgenogram, especially in the treated group. Lung inhalation scan showed almost similar distribution of radioactivity corresponding to the chest roentgenogram in minimal and far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, but there was a variability in the moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis. The measured values obtained from spirometry were parallel to the tuberculous lesion in chest roentgenogram.

배경: 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증은 대부분의 경우에 전신 동맥 경화증이 동반되며 사망의 원인으로는 주로 반 이상이 관상동맥질환에 의하여 발생한다. 또한 만성 동맥폐쇄증 수술 후 수술 사망 원인은 심장 합병증에 의한 사망이 가장 빈번한 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증 환자에게 과거에 심질환이 없거나 허혈성 심질환의 주증상이 없던 경우에 수술 후 높은 사망률을 보이는데 이런 이유로 이 환자군에 대한 관상동맥질환의 동반 여부에 대한 수술 전 검사의 필요성이 제기되는 바이다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 2월부터 2004년 10월까지 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증으로 입원한 환자 중 과거력상 심질환이 있었거나 허혈성 심질환이 주증상이었던 환자를 제외한 52명의 환자를 대상으로 관상동맥조영술과 하지동맥조영술을 동시에 시행하여 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증에서 관상동맥질환의 동반 빈도를 파악하였다. 또한 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증의 중증도를 나타내는 AVO score와 동반된 관상동맥질환과의 상관관계를 비교하였다. 결과: 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증에서 관상동맥질환을 동반한 경우는 63%(33명)였고, 고령, 당뇨, 고혈압, 흡연력, 고콜레스테롤혈증 등의 동맥 경화증의 위험인자 중 고령과 고혈압이 관상동맥 질환을 동반하는 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증의 중증도와 통계학적인 의미를 보였다. AVO score가 높을수록 관상동맥 질환의 동반이 흔하였고 관상동맥질환의 중증도 역시 증가되는 소견을 보였다. 관상동맥질환이 동반된 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증 환자에서 관상동맥 우회술 및 관상동맥 중재적 시술을 병합하여 하지동맥 우회술을 시행한 경우, 하지동맥 우회술의 단독시행에 비해 사망률이 현저히 감소하였다. 결론: 과거력상 심질환이 없거나 허혈성 심질환의 주증상이 없는 죽상동맥경화성 하지동맥폐쇄증 환자에서 특히, 고령, 고혈압, AVO score가 높은 환자군에서는 수술 전 관상동맥조영술을 시행하여 동반되는 관상동맥 질환을 파악한 뒤 이에 대한 적극적인 치료를 시행하여야 한다.

목적: 뇌내 정맥혈관을 평가하기 위한 조영 증강 자기공명 정맥촬영술의 arterial trigger 와 venous trigger 방법으로 시행한 영상의 차이점을 비교 분석하고자 한다. 대상과 방법: 건강검진을 목적으로 자기공명정맥촬영술을 시행한 41명의 환자들을 대상으로 해면부위의 내경 동맥에서 arterial triggering하여 6초 후에 얻은 영상 (n = 20) 과 상시상 정맥동에서 venous triggering (n = 21) 방법으로 시행한 영상을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 영상은 가돌리늄 조영제 ($Magnevist^{(R)}$, Schering, Germany)를 0.1 mmol/kg 정맥주입하여 시행하였고, 두개강 전반에 대하여 시상영상을 fast spoiled gradiend echo sequence로 시행하였다 (TR/TE 5.2/1.5, matrix $310{\times}310$, 절편수 124 절편, 두께 15 cm). 두 그룹의 영상을 해부학적 정맥 혈관 구조에 따라 17 정맥구역에 대하여 평가하였고, 정맥의 영상품질은 세 단계 (안보임, 일부 보임, 완전히 보임)로 나눠서 평가하였다. 결과: 정맥이 완전히 보인 구역은 arterial triggering 자기공명 정맥 촬영술에서 84% (272/323), venous triggering 자기 공명 정맥촬영술에서 91% (310/340) 이다. Venous triggering 자기공명촬영술과 arterial 자기 공명 정맥촬영술을 비교하였을 때 뇌내 정맥 구조를 평가하는데 있어 venous triggering 방법이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다 (Fisher exact test, p<0.006). 결론: 조영 증강 자기공명 정맥 촬영술은 정맥 혈관 구조에 대한 고화질의 이미지를 제공하였고 arterial triggering 방법보다 venous triggering 방법이 뇌내 정맥 구조 평가에 우월한 것으로 나타났다.

Citri Reticulatae Viride Pericarpium extract(CRVP) have been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent for Soothing the liver and regulating the circulation of qi(疏肝理氣), and promoting digestion and removing stagnated food(消積化滯). The effects of CRVP on the vascular system is not known. The purpose of this Study was to investigate the effects of CRVP on the pial arterial diameter and regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) in normal rats and ischemic cerebrovascular pathologic model rats. The changes in rCBF was determinated by Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF), and the changes in pial arterial diameter were determinated by video microscopy methods and video analyzer. The results were as follows ; 1. Pial arterial diameter was significantly increased by CRVP in a dose-dependent manner. 2. Pretreatment with L-NNA significantly inhibited CRVP induced increased rCBF and pial arterial diameter. 3. Both the methylene chloride fraction and the hexane fraction of CRVP dose-dependently improved the altered cerebral hemodynamics of cerebral ischemic animal by increasing rCBF. 4. Pretreatment with L-NNA and indomethacin significantly inhibited CRVP(MC) induced increased rCBF. 5. Pretreatment with L-NNA and indomethacin significantly inhibited CRVP(hexane) induced increased rCBF. 6. Pretreatment with CRVP maredly stabilized the changes rCBF and pial arterial diameter during the period of cerebral reperusion. In conclusion, CRVP causes a diverse response of rCBF and pial arterial diameter, and CRVP dose-dependently improved the altered cerebral hemodynamics of cerebral ischemic animal by increasing rCBF and pial arterial diameter. These results suggest that the improvement of cerebral hemodynamics is also mediated by nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase.
