11살된 암컷 푸들 (체중 2.3 kg)이 지속적인 기침, 호흡곤란, 운동불내성 및 식욕부진으로 내원하였다. 영상진단 검사 및 실험실 검사를 통해, 환자는 ISACHC Ib 단계의 이첨판 패쇄부전증이 합병된 특발성 출혈성 심낭수 유출증으로 진단되었다. 우측 흉벽에서 심낭에 접근하여 투시현미경의 조사 하에 엘리게이터 포셉과 카테터를 이용한 경피하 심낭 부분절개술을 실시하였다. 시술 직후 실시한 ECG 와 심초음파 검사에서 환자의 심장 기능은 크게 개선되었다. 환자는 경도의 이첨판 역류증과 술 후 감염을 관리하기 위해 furosemide (1 mg/kg, bid, PO), enalapril (0.5 mg/kg, bid, PO), cephradine (20 mg/kg, bid, PO)을 처방 받고 퇴원하였다. 2주 후 실시된 검사에서 심낭수는 발견되지 않았으며 임상증상은 크게 개선되어있었다. 현재는 이첨판 패쇄부전증에 대한 처치를 위해 enalapril을 투약 중이고, 주기적으로 환자를 모니터하고 있다.

Ultrasonic shears is currently in wide use as an energy device for minimal invasive surgery. There is an advantage of minimizing the carbonization behavior of the tissue due to the vibrational energy transfer system of the transducer by applying a piezoelectric ceramic. However, the vibrational energy transfer system has a pitfall in energy consumption. When the movement of the forceps is interrupted by the tissue, the horn which transfers the vibrational energy of the transducer will be affected. A study was performed to recognize different tissues by measuring the impedance of the transducer of the ultrasonic shears in order to find the factor of energy consumption according to the tissue. In the first stage of the study, the voltage and current of the transducer connecting portion were measured, along with the phase changes. Subsequently, in the second stage, the impedance of the transducer was directly measured. In the final stage, using the handpiece, we grasped the tissue and observed the impedance differences appeared in the transducer To verify the proposed tissue distinguishing method, we used the handpiece to apply a force between 5N and 10N to pork while increasing the value of the impedance of the transducer from 400 ${\Omega}$.. It was found that fat and skin tissue, tendon, liver and protein all have different impedance values of 420 ${\Omega}$, 490 ${\Omega}$, 530 ${\Omega}$, and 580 ${\Omega}$, respectively. Thus, the impedance value can be used to distinguish the type of tissues grasped by the forceps. In the future study, this relationship will be used to improve the energy efficiency of ultrasonic shears.

연구배경: 냉동 생검은 극저온으로 암 조직을 얼려 조직의 괴사를 만들어 검체를 채취할 수 있는데 출혈이 적어서 많은 양의 조직을 한번에 채취할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기관지 내 병소가 있는 폐암 환자에서 굴곡형 기관지 내시경을 이용하여 겸자 생검과 냉동 생검을 시행하여 얻은 각각의 조직의 특징을 비교하였고 냉동 생검을 시행하여 얻은 조직을 통해 항암제 감수성 검사를 위한 배양 결과 및 혈관 내피 세포 성장인자(vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF)의 발현 여부를 연구하였다. 방 법: 고신대학교 복음병원에서 폐암으로 진단되어 시행한 기관지경에서 용종성 병병이거나 결절형 돌출성 병변이 관찰된 환자 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 냉동 생검은 기관지경을 병소에 삽입한 후 먼저 겸자 생검을 시행하였고, 이후 겸자 채널을 통해 냉동 탐침을 삽입하여 병소에 접촉시켰다. $-80^{\circ}C$로 8초간 급속 냉동한 후 조직을 떼내어 내시경과 함께 빼낸 뒤 채취하였다. 결 과: 겸자 생검 조직과 냉동 생검 조직의 평균 크기는 각각 2.0${\pm}$1.2 mm, 6.0${\pm}$3.0 mm였다. 조직의 정확한 진단이 된 경우는 겸자 생검 조직에서 23예(76%), 냉동 생검 조직에서 27예(90%)였다. 겸자 생검에서 확진이 되지 않았던 7예 중 5예에서 진단이 가능하였다. 조직의 분화도 결정은 겸자 생검 조직과 냉동 생검 조직에서 각각 15예, 25예에서 가능하였다. 냉동 생검을 통해 얻은 조직은 총 5예에서 항암제 감수성 검사를 의뢰하였고 전 예에서 배양이 이루어져 적절한 감수성 검사를 시행할 수 있었다. 또한 냉동 생검을 통해 얻은 조직 중 2예에서 VEGF의 발현 정도를 관찰하고 판정할 수 있었다. 결 론: 굴곡형 기관지 내시경을 이용한 냉동 조직 생검은 기존의 겸자 생검에 비해 비교적 큰 조직을 얻을 수 있는 안전하고 유용한 방법이 될 수 있을 것이며 또한 항암제 감수성 검사를 위한 검체 확보 및 VEGF의 발현 정도를 관찰하고 판정하는 데에도 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

심박조율기 제거의 가장 주요한 적응증은 감염이며. 감염이 발생하였을 경우, 흥분파 발생기와 유도전극 장치을 포함한 모든 심박조율기 하드웨어를 제거하는 것이 치료의 원칙으로 알려져 있다. 제거방법에는 지 속적 견인법, 겸자와 올가미 또는 바구니 사용법, locking stylet과 dilator sheath 사용법, 수술에 의한 방법등이 있다. 본원은 올가미 사용법으로 포착된 유도전극를 제거하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

in general rapid and complete resolution of pulmonary emboli, even massive, is the natural history. However, rarely, the emboli do not resolve but rather became fibrotic organization and densely adherent to the arterial wall, therefore, may lead to significant clinical disability. In patients with chronic pulmonary embolism, medical management usually has little effect and only surgical treatment can offer improvement. The case was 30-year-old man who had admission to the Hanyang University Hospital due to fall-down from 11th floor 407 days before operation and then transferred to our department for surgical management under the diagnosis of chronic pulmonary embolism, Pulmonary angiogram demonstrated multifocal thromboembolism with infarction and lung scans showed no improvement in spite of anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapy. At median sternotomy for pulmonary artery thromboembolectomy, the well organized and multiple septic emboli could be removed by gallstone forceps. But reoperation of left upper lobectomy was performed because of the repeated hemoptysis and suspicious pulmonary arterio-bronchial fistula 19 days postoperatively. Despite of ventilatory support and drug treatment, the patient died due to right heart failure associated with cor pulmonale 27 days after first operation. Discussion of the operative and perioperative problems are offered.

Infection, although uncommon, can be the most lethal of all potential complication after transvenous pacemaker implantation. When infection is present, removal of the electrode is the only successful means of therapy. The entrapped electrode can be removed by continuous traction, by use of endoscopic forceps and snares, and by operation. We report 2 cases of removal of infected transvenous pacemaker successfully. In one case of staphylococcus aureus endocarditis associated with a retained pacemaker electrode, the electrode was removed by hand traction. The other case of skin infection of generator pocket, the electrode removed by orthopedic pulley system. Consequently, we recommended removal of all hardware if there is infection of the pacemaker system.

Previously, we used a rigid bronchoscope in removal of endotracheal granulation tissue and foreign body. But these method has poor visual field and difficulty in handling of the instruments, therefore there were restriction in removing the endotracheal granulation tissue and foreign body. Recently we underwent one case each of endotracheal granulation tissue and foreign body causing dyspnea and removed them by right angled forceps under visualization via nasal rigid endoscope inserted through the tracheal stoma. We suggest this method for removal of tracheal foreign body, granulation tissue and excision of tumorous condition in patients with tracheocutaneous fistula.

Successful emergency pulmonary embolectomy with the cardiopulmonary bypass was performed in a 41 \ulcorneryear old male who suffered massive pulmonary embolism after longterm bed rest due to the injury of left knee. Temporary cardiopulmonary bypass provided 120 minutes of circulatory support while complete removal of bilateral pulmonary emboli accomplished using Forgarty catheter and Gall stone forceps. Also, manual compression of the lungs was necessary to remove distal branching emboli. The patient had smooth and uneventful hospital course without complications and discharged from hospital taking coumadine on the 13th day after the operation.

This study was performed to evaluate echocardiographic parameters in dogs with experimental mitral regurgitation subjected to dobutamine stress testing. In 8 beagle dogs, a 4-prong grasping forceps was inserted into the left ventricle through the carotid artery with fluoroscopic guidance. The disruption of chordae or mitral valve leaflet was performed. Echocardiographic protocols included quantitative Doppler echocardiography and M-mode measurement for evaluating left ventricle function. After all measurement was obtained at rest, dobutamine was infused incrementally. In stress testing, all measurement also was performed at rest as the same method. In stress Doppler echocardiography, regurgitant fraction and aortic stroke volume was increased significantly (P<0.001). Effective regurgitant orifice and regurgitant volume was not changed. In M-mode examination, fractional shortening was increased significantly at stress test (P<0.001). From the results obtained in this study, it could be suggested that dobutamine stress echocardiography increase left ventricle performance in non-functional mitral regurgitation and quantitative Doppler echocardiography is non-invasive, accurate method in valvular regurgitation.

As gastroduodenoscopy performed more frequently, case reports of human echinostomiasis are increasing in Korea. A Korean woman presented at a local clinic with complaints of abdominal pain and discomfort that had persisted for 2 weeks. Under gastroduodenoscopy, two motile flukes were found attached on the duodenal bulb, and retrieved with endoscopic forceps. She had history of eating raw frog meat. The two flukes were identified as Echinostoma hortense by egg morphology, 27 collar spines with 4 end-group spines, and surface ultrastructural characters. This report may prove frogs to be a source of human echinostome infections.
