체외 충격파 쇄석술시 쇄석기종에 따라 각각 장단점이 있으며, 전 처치로 인한 여러 가지 부작용이 보고되고 있다. 이에 전자기식 ESWL시 하부결석환자에서 적합한 충격파의 강도를 찾아보고, C-arm의 총 가동시간을 측정해 보았다. 본 연구는 2014년 1월부터 6월까지 경북지역 일개시의 C대학병원에서 전 처치를 시행하지 않고 ESWL을 받은 65명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 성비는 남자가 48명, 여자가 17명으로 남자가 더 많았으며, 연령은 50대가 가장 많았다. 하부요로결석의 발생은 왼쪽이 더 많았으며, 결석의 크기는 5mm 이하가 39명으로 가장 많았다. 적합한 충격강도는 1의 강도이며 통증을 호소하는 경우 C의 강도로 전환하여 충격을 가할 수 있다. 또한 C-arm의 총 가동시간은 $241.73{\pm}30.37$초로 나타났으며, 이것은 하부요로결석의 크기와 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 따라서, ESWL시 전처치를 시행하지 않고 시술을 할 경우 요관 결석의 부위에 따라 적합한 충격강도와 충격빈도의 기준이 필요로 하며, C-arm 총 가동시간도 요관 결석의 발생부위에 따라 방사선으로 인한 피폭을 최소화하기 위한 총 가동시간에 대한 기준이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

목적 : 요로 결석은 소아에서는 비교적 드물다고 하나, 점점 증가하고 있으며, 유발요인이 있는 경우에는 보다 빨리 진단할 수 있다. 본 연구를 통하여 요로 결석 환아들의 주증상, 진단, 감염및 동반 질환 여부, 치료 등에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 1986년 1월부터 1996년 6월까지 10년 5개월간 세브란스 병원에 내원한 15세 미만의 요로 결석환아 45명을 대상으로 후향적 고찰을 하였다. 결과 : 요로 결석 환아의 평균 연령은 6.5세, 남녀비는 5.4:1이었고, 가족력은 13.3%에서 나타났다. 주증상은 육안적 혈뇨가 가장 많았고, 요로 감염을 동반한 환아 46.1%,요로 기형 및 질환을 동반한 환아가 35.6%에서 나타났다. 진단 방법으로는 단순 요로 촬영, 경정맥 신우 조영술, 복부 초음파 등이 사용되었는데, 초음파만으로 진단받은 경우도 다수 있어 의의가 크다고 하겠다. 치료로는 체외 충격파 쇄석술, 경피적 신결석 적출술, 수액 요법, 이뇨제등이 사용되었다. 결론 : 소아 요로결석에 대해 관찰한 결과, 유의할 만한 질환으로 생각되며, 요로 폐색이 있는 환아에서는 시급한 치료가 요구된다. 특히 단순 방사선 촬영및 경정맥 신우 조영술에서 발견되지 않은 환아에서는 반드시 초음파를 하여 진단해야 할 것이다. 한편, 결석의 성분 분석이 이루어지지 않아 다소 아쉬운 점이 남는다.

PURPOSE : For the reconstruction of large bone defect after tumor resection, it is possible to reuse the bone involved by tumor with some treatment to it. Several bone-reusing methods have been reported such as autoclaving, low-heat treatment(pasteurization) and intraoperative radiotherapy. We have used extracorporeally radiated autogenous bone graft for reconstruction after tumor resection, and analyzed the periods for junctional union, functional results and complications to know the indications of this method. METHODS : From Dec. 1993 to Sept. 1995, nine patients had taken autogenous bone graft with extracorporeal irradiation. Eight cases were osteosarcoma and 1 giant cell tumor. The graft sites were 5 in femur, 3 proximal tibia and 1 femur and tibia. Stage 3 was 1 case(GCT), Stage IIB 3 and Stage IIIB 5. After wide resection, surrounding soft tissue and intramedullary and extramedullary portion of the tumor were removed. Radiation was done in 5000cGy to the resected bone. Ender nails and bone cement were inserted and filled into the medulla to prevent fracture. RESULTS : Average follow-up period was 12.3(4 to 21) months. Average junctional union period in simple X-ray was 6.5 months in 4 cases. Average functional score following Enneking's criteria was 19(12-27). Complications were as follows ; condylar fractures and femur neck fracture in 4 cases, subluxation of the knee joint 3 and infection 1. Although local recurrence was detected in 1 case, the site of recurrence was not in the radiated bone but surrounding soft tissue. At final follow-up, no recurrence was found in one case(GCT), CDF 2, AWD 2, DOD 3, and died of chemotherapy related sepsis 1. CONCLUSIONS : Extracorporeally radiated bone autograft is considered to be a method for reconstruction of the large bone defect made by tumor resection, especially in the reconstruction around the joint.

Surgical treatment of aneurysm or dissection involving the ascending aorta and aortic arch still poses one of the most complicated technical and tactical challenges in surgery. The use of total circulatory arrest[TCA] with profound hypothermia in the surgical treatment of aneurysmal dissection involving the ascending aorta and aortic arch has been reported as popular surgical methods. However, the safe period of prolonged circulatory arrest with hypothermia remains controversial and ischemic damage to the central nervous system and uncontrollable perioperative bleeding have been the major problem. We have found profound hypothermic circulatory arrest with retrograde cerebral perfusion via the superior vena cava to achieve cerebral protection. We experiment the aortic anastomosis in 7 adult mongrel dogs, using profound hypothermic circulatory arrest with continuous retrograde cerebral perfusion[RGCP] via superior vena cava. We also studied the extent of cerebral protection using above surgical methods, by gas analysis of retrograde cerebral perfusion blood and returned blood of aortic arch, preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative electroencephalography and microscopic findings of brain tissue. The results were as follows: 1. The cooling time ranged from 15 minutes to 24 minutes[19.71$\pm$ 3.20 minutes] ; Aorta cross clamp time ranged from 70 minutes to 89 minutes[79.86 $\pm$ 7.54 minutes] ; Rewarming time ranged from 35 minutes to 47 minutes[42.86$\pm$ 4.30 minutes] ; The extracorporeal circulation time ranged from 118 minutes to 140 minutes[128.43$\pm$ 8.98 minutes] [Table 2]. 2. The oxygen content in the oxygenated blood after RGCP was 12.66$\pm$ 1.25 ml/dl. At 5 minutes after the initiation of RGCP, the oxygen content of returnedlood was 7.58$\pm$ 0.21 ml/dl, and at 15 minutes 7.35$\pm$ 0.17 ml/dl, at 30 minutes 7.20$\pm$ 0.19 ml/dl, at 60 minutes 6.63$\pm$ 0.14 ml/dl [Table 3]. 3. Intraoperative electroencephalographic finding revealed low amplitude potential during hypothermia, and no electrical impulse throughout the period of circulatory arrest and RGCP. Electrical activity appeared after reperfusion, and the electroencephalographic reading also recovered rapidly as body temperature returned to normal [Fig. 2]. 4. The microscopic finding of brain tissue showed widening of the interfibrillar spaces. But there was no evidence of tissue necrosis or hemorrhage [Fig. 3]. We concluded the retrograde cerebral perfusion during hypothermic circulatory arrest is a simplified technique that may have a excellent brain protection.

Serine protease 억제약물인 aprotinin은 체외순환을 동반한 심장수술 후 필연적으로 발생하는 혈액성분 손상을 포함한 유해한 합병증을 감소시키기 위해 사용한다. 그러나 이 약물의 용량이나 사용법에 대해 여전히 논란의 여지가 있다. 본 연구자들은 심장수술 동안 심폐기 충전액에 저 용량의 aprotinin을 투여하여 그 효과를 연구하였다. 30명의 성인 심장수술 환자들을 대상으로 aprotinin 투여군(n=15)과 대조군(n=15)으로 나눈 뒤 수술 전, 동안, 후의 시기에 혈액학적 및 생화학적 변수들, 사이토카인 및 심장 표지자, 수술 후 각종 임상결과들을 비교분석 하였다. 혈소판수와 activated partial thromboplastin time은 수술 후 24시간 때 아프로티닌군이 대조군 보다 유의하게 높았다. Troponin-I 농도와 수술 후 출혈량은 아프로티닌군이 대조군보다 유의하게 낮았다. 이러한 결과들을 볼 때 심장수술시 저 용량의 aprotinin을 심폐기 충전액에 첨가하는 방법은 혈소판의 파괴를 줄여줘 수술 후 출혈량의 감소를 제공해주며 심근보호 효과가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 향후 더 많은 성인 환자군과 소아환자에 대한 다양한 연구가 더 많이 수행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Heparin would have been used for preventing clotting of blood during extracorporeal circulation and subsequent use of protamine sulfate and made possible the neutralization of heparin. This procedure has been adopted for eliminating one of the great causes of bleeding, especially in cardiac surgery. In this experiment, the hypocoagulability of blood induced by heparin followed by neutralization with treatment of protamine sulfate were estimated by the Lee-White clotting time [CT], partial thromboplastin time [PTT] and protamine titration test. The results were as follows: 1] Comparison of clotting time between the heparinized [2.0 mg/kg] and non-heparinized dogs was done using CT and PT`I` of the blood. In heparinized group [Group I], the CT lasted infinitively and prolongation of PTT [4 times than normal] until 60 minutes. The CT [2 times] and PTT [3 times] has been shortened after 90 minutes, however they returned to normal limit level within 180 minutes. 2] The determination of appropriate ratio of heparin and protamine In vivo were performed. The group II [heparin 2.0 mg/kg, protamine 1.0 mg/kg] revealed rapid decrease of CT and PTT, but returned to normal after 120 minutes. The group III [heparin 2.0 mg/kg, protamine 2.0 mg/kg] returned rapidly to normal within 15 minutes. The group IV [heparin 2.0 mg/kg, protamine 3.0 mg/kg] recovered its normal level after 60 minutes. The group V [heparin 2.0 mg/kg, protamine 4.0 mg/kg] recovered its normal level after 90 minutes. 3] In the combined experimental study In vivo and vitro, the protamine titration test was done using the dog which were given 2.0 mg/kg and 3.0 mg/kg of heparin, respectively and coagulation time were checked after 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes. The complete neutralization was showed to be heparin-protamine ratio of 1:1 to 1.5. 4] In vitro study, fresh blood was drawn into known amount of heparin content [20, 40, 60 and 100/ug per 1 ml of blood] syringe, thereafter protamine titration test was done. In all cases, the complete neutralization was found in heparin-protamine ratio of 1:0.85 to 1.5. 5] It was found by the present experiment that the ideal heparin-protamine ratio was 1:1 within 60 minutes and 1:0.5 after 60 minutes for avoiding the serious side effect due to overadministration of protamine sulfate.

Acute exacerbation(s) of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) tend to be critical and debilitating events leading to poorer outcomes in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment modalities, and contribute to a higher and earlier mortality rate in COPD patients. Besides pro-active preventative measures intended to obviate acquisition of AECOPD, early recovery from severe AECOPD is an important issue in determining the long-term prognosis of patients diagnosed with COPD. Updated GOLD guidelines and recently published American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society clinical recommendations emphasize the importance of use of pharmacologic treatment including bronchodilators, systemic steroids and/or antibiotics. As a non-pharmacologic strategy to combat the effects of AECOPD, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is recommended as the treatment of choice as this therapy is thought to be most effective in reducing intubation risk in patients diagnosed with AECOPD with acute respiratory failure. Recently, a few adjunctive modalities, including NIV with helmet and helium-oxygen mixture, have been tried in cases of AECOPD with respiratory failure. As yet, insufficient documentation exists to permit recommendation of this therapy without qualification. Although there are too few findings, as yet, to allow for regular andr routine application of those modalities in AECOPD, there is anecdotal evidence to indicate both mechanical and physiological benefits connected with this therapy. High-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy is another supportive strategy which serves to improve the symptoms of hypoxic respiratory failure. The therapy also produced improvement in ventilatory variables, and it may be successfully applied in cases of hypercapnic respiratory failure. Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal has been successfully attempted in cases of adult respiratory distress syndrome, with protective hypercapnic ventilatory strategy. Nowadays, it is reported that it was also effective in reducing intubation in AECOPD with hypercapnic respiratory failure. Despite the apparent need for more supporting evidence, efforts to improve efficacy of NIV have continued unabated. It is anticipated that these efforts will, over time, serve toprogressively decrease the risk of intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation in cases of AECOPD with acute respiratory failure.

Nafamostat mesilate (NM) is a serine protease inhibitor with anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory effects. NM has been used in Asia for anticoagulation during extracorporeal circulation in patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy and extra corporeal membrane oxygenation. Oxidative stress is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease and is associated with vascular endothelial function. We investigated whether NM could inhibit endothelial dysfunction induced by tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$ ). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with TNF-${\alpha}$ for 24 h. The effects of NM on monocyte adhesion, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) protein expression, p38 mitogenactivated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, and intracellular superoxide production were then examined. NM ($0.01{\sim}100{\mu}g/mL$) did not affect HUVEC viability; however, it inhibited the increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and p66shc expression elicited by TNF-${\alpha}$ (3 ng/mL), and it dose dependently prevented the TNF-${\alpha}$ -induced upregulation of endothelial VCAM-1 and ICAM-1. In addition, it mitigated TNF-${\alpha}$ -induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation and the adhesion of U937 monocytes. These data suggest that NM mitigates TNF-${\alpha}$ -induced monocyte adhesion and the expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules, and that the anti-adhesive effect of NM is mediated through the inhibition of p66shc, ROS production, and p38 MAPK activation.
