대상포진후 신경통은 통증 치료실에서 흔히 만나는 질환이지만 가장 치료하기 힘든 질환 중의 하나이다. 따라서 통증 치료를 담당하는 의사는 자기가 알고 모든 지식을 동원하여 환자를 치료하지만, 그 결과는 대개 만족스럽지 못하고, 또 뜻하지 않은 합병증을 당하여 당황하는 수도 있었다. 저자들은 폐 결핵등의 과거력을 가진 대상포진후 신경통 환자의 치료 도중에 반복적인 늑간신경 차단이 기여했으라라고 생각되는 흉막삼출액 발생을 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

The purpose of this case was to report the effect of Korean medical treatment for patient with pleural effusion due to congestive heart failure. The patient was treated with herbal medicine(Cheongsingeonbi-tang) and acupuncture. The effect of treatment was evaluated by chest X-ray, New York Heart Association(NYHA) functional classification, and Hugh-Jones classification. After 3 weeks of treatment, the amount of pleural effusion was decreased and NYHA class, Hugh-Jones grade were improved. NYHA functional classification improved class III to II and Hugh-Jones classification changed grade IV to II. This result suggests that herbal medicine(Cheongsingeonbi-tang) and acupuncture treatment might have an effect on patient with pleural effusion due to congestive heart failure.

Benign schwannoma is the most common neurogenic tumor in the mediastinum. Mediastinal benign schwannomas are most often asymptomatic and rarely accompanied by bloody pleural effusion. In the clinical analysis of 7 cases of pulmonary schwannomas, pleural effusion, and blood invasion were evident in 3 patients with malignant schwannoma. Herein, we report a rare case of giant, benign schwannoma presented with total collapse of right lung by massive, bloody pleural effusion.

The present paper deals with the heat/mass transfer characteristics for the rotating impingement/effusion cooling system. By changing the size and number of injection hole, its effects on heat/mass transfer are investigated and three different injection hole cases are considered such as LH, DH and SH, respectively. Reynolds number based on the effusion hole diameter is fixed to 3,330 and two jet orientations are considered. A naphthalene sublimation method is used to obtain the heat/mass transfer coefficients on the effusion plate. The LH case shows that the local heat/mass transfer is significantly varied by the rotation. Moreover, the low and non-uniform Sh distributions occur because the impinging jet is deflected by Coriolis force. Meanwhile, for DH and SH cases, the local heat/mass transfer coefficients are enhanced significantly compared to LH case and the rotation effect decreases with increasing the jet velocity. The averaged Sh value of DH and SH case rises up to 45%, 85% than that of LH case. However, the uniformity of heat/mass transfer deteriorates due to the steep variation of heat/mass transfer.

Malignant melanoma develops from melanocytes and frequently metastases to other organs. Common metastatic sites are other skin, lymph nodes, lung, liver, brain and bone in decreasing order of frequency. Malignant pleural effusion is less frequent manifestation of thoracic metastasis. We experienced a 57-year-old man with pleural effusion who received radical resection with local flap on left foot due to acral lentiginous melanoma 3 years ago. He had progressive chest pain and left massive pleural effusion. The pleural cytology and biopsy showed malignant melanoma. After closed thoracostomy and talc pleurodesis, he refused further immunotherapy and chemotherapy and discharged.

Eosinophilic pleural effusion (EPE) is defined as a pleural effusion that contains at least 10% eosinophils. EPE occurs due to a variety of causes such as blood or air in the pleural space, infection, malignancy, or an autoimmune disease. Undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) associated with eosinophilic pleural effusion is a rare condition generally characterized by the presence of the signs and symptoms but not fulfilling the existing classification criteria. We report a case involving a 67-year-old man with UCTD and EPE, who has been successfully treated with a single intrapleural corticosteroid injection.

선천성 흉막액을 동반한 외엽형 폐격리증은 매우 드문 선천성 폐기형으로 아직까지 국내에서의 보고는 없다. 저자들은 재태 기간 27주에 시행한 산전 초음파상 좌측 흉막액이 발견되었고, 출생 후 시행한 흉부 전산화 단층 촬영 및 전산화 단층 혈관 촬영술상 선천성 흉막액을 동반한 외엽형 폐격리증으로 진단하였으며, 생후 80일경 수술 후 특별한 문제없이 퇴원하여 현재 외래 추적 관찰 중인 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Objective: This clinical study reports on a case of generalized edema with hypoalbuminemia and pleural effusion improved by combined traditional Korean and Western medical treatments in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia medicated with dasatinib.Method: Combined traditional Korean and Western medical treatment was carried out, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and albumin injection. We examined the serum albumin, measured the circumference of both thighs and ankles to estimate the volume of the edema, and evaluated the pleural effusion symptoms.Results: The serum albumin increased, and generalized edema and pleural effusion improved significantly after the administration of Bojungchiseub-tang-gami.Conclusion: These results showed that complications of generalized edema and pleural effusion associated with dasatinib medication have the potential to be improved via combined traditional Korean and Western medical treatments.
