All the pharmacological studies of LB17522 described here were carried out with high doses (fifteen to sixty times of the therapeutic dose) to determine an indication of potential side effects in clinical use in terms of the acute clinical signs, cardiovascular and central nervous system. LB10522 does not produce any observable clinical signs except for the symptoms such as moist eye, skin rash, slight salivation, vomitting, and slightly reduced activity. The effects of LB10522 on the hemodynamics and cardiac function of anesthetized beagle dogs are as follows; heart rates and mean arterial blood pressure had a tendency to increase mildly, which is a normal finding in anesthetized dogs. All the animals except for one showed relatively stable respiratory rates throughout the observation period. Each animal treated with LB10522 showed slight increase in the left cardiac work and left ventricular stroke work which are mainly related to corresponding increases in cardiac output. Femoral blood flow were shown to be increased in some animals treated with LB10522. The epileptogenic activities of various cephalosporins were assessed by a direct intracerebral injection of appropriate concentration of test articles. The CD$_{50}$ values (nmol) obtained from the analysis of the dose-response data are as follows; 78.2, 175.3, 156.3, and 53.5 for cefazolin, cephaloridine, ceftazidime, and LB 10522, respectively. LB10522 seems to be equipotent with cefazolin or to be three times more potent than cephaloridine and ceftazidime in causing adverse CNS stimulation. Taken into consideration all the information obtained, LB10522 is not supposed to induce much changes in the functions examined in these studies in man at therapeutic doses.s.

Purpose: This study was a cross-sectional study comparing differences in self-management knowledge, self-management, physiologic indexes, and symptoms experience for two methods of dialysis. Methods: Participants were 90 patients on hemodialysis and 91 on peritoneal dialysis at A hospital. Results: There was no significant difference between the two groups for knowledge of self-management. A comparison of the categories in the evaluation of self-management showed that patients in the peritoneal dialysis group took better care of their dialysis access route (F=17.61, p<.001) and dialysis schedule (F=4.30, p=.040). The physiologic indexes between the two dialysis groups showed that hemoglobin levels were higher in the hemodialysis group (F=5.28, p=.023). The product of serum calcium and phosphate was higher in the peritoneal dialysis group (F=11.42, p=.001). Serum sodium level was also higher in the peritoneal dialysis group (t=5.36, p<.001) while serum albumin level (t=-3.36, p=.001) and mean arterial blood pressure (t=-2.50, p=.013) were higher in hemodialysis patients. There were no significant differences in the proportion of uncomfortable experiences between the two groups. Conclusion: Medical personnel should consider differences in self-management knowledge/self-management, physiologic indexes, and symptoms experience for hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis populations, and should provide adequate education accordingly and promote behavioral change to improve physiologic indexes and reduce symptoms.

Background and Objectives : Positional OSAS is characterized by an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) score >5, which, while sleeping in the supine position, is double that in non-supine position. This study was performed to compare the clinical characteristics of positional OSAS and non-positional OSAS patients, and the effects of the modified jaw thrust maneuver during drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) between positional OSAS and non-positional OSAS patients. Materials and Methods : 68 positional OSAS patients and 19 non-positional OSAS patients were included. They all underwent full-night polysomnography and DISE. The modified jaw thrust maneuver was introduced during DISE. Airway structural changes induced by the modified jaw thrust maneuver were evaluated and documented. Results : There were no statistically significant differences in Friedman stage or tonsil grade, body mass index, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) score, blood pressure, AHI, or obstructive pattern between the positional and non-positional OSAS patients. However, mean arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), lowest SaO2, and total arousal index values were more severe in the non-positional OSAS patients. After introduction of the modified jaw thrust maneuver, retrolingual level obstruction showed a tendency toward a higher rate of airway opening in positional OSAS patients than in non-positional OSAS patients. Conclusions : The effects of a mandibular advancement device (MAD) can be estimated by carrying out a modified jaw thrust maneuver during DISE. The tendency toward a higher rate of airway opening in positional OSAS patients than non-positional OSAS patients in retrolingual level obstruction after jaw thrust maneuver introduced during DISE may be clinically important for MAD.

This study was undertaken to clarify the effects of omega-3 fatty acid on endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. Rabbits were randomly assigned to one of four groups. Each group received intravenous infusion of saline only, saline and Escherichia coli endotoxin, omegaven infuison (0.5 mL/kg/hr) and endotoxin, lipoven (0.5 mL/kg/hr) and endotoxin respectively. Infusion of saline was started 0.5 hr before the infusion of saline or endotoxin, and omegaven and lipoven were started 2 hours after endotoxin infusion for 4 hours. The lungs of rabbits were ventilated with 40% oxygen. Mean blood pressure, heart rate, arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), and peripheral blood leukocyte were recorded. The wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio of lung and lung injury score were measured, and analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was done. Endotoxin decreased PaO2, and peripheral blood leukocyte and platelet count. And it increased W/D ratio of lung, lung injury score and leukocyte count, percentage of PMN cells, concentration of IL-8 in BALF. Omegaven attenuated all these changes except for peripheral blood leukocyte counts. Omegaven attenuated endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in rabbits mainly by inhibiting neutrophil and IL-8 responses, which may play a central role in endotoxin-related lung injury.

Background: Problems associated with using inhalational anaesthesia are numerous in veterinary anaesthesia practice. Decreasing the amount of used inhalational anaesthetic agents and minimising of cardiorespiratory disorders are the standard goals of anaesthetists. Objective: This experimental study was carried out to investigate the sparing effect of intravenous tramadol, lidocaine, dexmedetomidine and their combinations on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane in healthy Beagle dogs. Methods: This study was conducted on six beagle dogs. Sevoflurane MAC was determined by the tail clamp method on five separate occasions. The dogs received no treatment (control; CONT), tramadol (TRM: 1.5 mg kg^-1 intravenously followed by 1.3 mg kg^-1 h^-1), lidocaine (LID: 2 mg kg^-1 intravenously followed by 3 mg kg^-1 h^-1), dexmedetomidine (DEX: 2 ㎍ kg^-1 intravenously followed by 2 ㎍ kg^-1 h^-1), and their combination (COMB), respectively. Cardiorespiratory variables were recorded every five minutes and immediately before the application of a noxious stimulus. Results: The COMB treatment had the greatest sevoflurane MAC-sparing effect (67.4 ± 13.9%) compared with the other treatments (5.1 ± 25.3, 12.7 ± 14.3, and 40.3 ± 15.1% for TRM, LID, and DEX treatment, respectively). The cardiopulmonary variables remained within the clinically acceptable range following COMB treatment, although the mean arterial pressure was higher and accompanied by bradycardia. Conclusions: Tramadol-lidocaine-dexmedetomidine co-infusion produced a remarkable sevoflurane MAC-sparing effect in clinically healthy beagle dogs and could result in the alleviation of cardiorespiratory depression caused by sevoflurane. Cardiorespiratory variables should be monitored carefully to avoid undesirable side effects induced by dexmedetomidine.

Background: We investigated surgical outcomes after the surgical repair of cor triatriatum sinister (CTS). Methods: Thirty-two consecutive patients who underwent surgical repair of CTS from 1993 through 2020 were included in this study. The morphological characteristics, clinical features, and surgical outcomes were described and analyzed. Results: The median age and body weight at operation were 9 months (interquartile range [IQR], 3-238 months) and 7.5 kg (IQR, 5.8-49.6 kg), respectively. There were 16 males (50%). According to the modified Lucas classification, type IA (classical CTS) was most common (n=20, 62.5%). Atrial septal defect was associated in 22 patients (68.8%) and anomalous pulmonary venous return in 8 patients (25%). Pulmonary hypertension was preoperatively suspected with a high probability in 18 patients (56.3%). There was 1 early death (3.1%) after emergent membrane excision and hybrid palliation in a high-risk hypoplastic left heart syndrome patient. There were no late deaths. The overall survival rate was 96.9% at 15 years post-repair. No early survivors required reoperation during follow-up. Most survivors (31 of 32 patients, 96.9%) were in New York Heart Association functional class I at a median follow-up of 74 months (IQR, 39-195 months). At the latest echocardiography performed at a median of 42 months (IQR, 6-112 months) after repair, no residual lesion was observed except in 1 patient who had moderate pulmonary hypertension (mean pulmonary arterial pressure of 36 mm Hg). Conclusion: Surgical repair of cor triatriatum could be performed safely and effectively with an extremely low risk of recurrence.

This study reports the clinical use of two sevoflurane-based anesthetic techniques in dogs undergoing craniectomy. Twenty-one animals undergoing elective rostrotentorial or transfrontal craniectomy for brain tumor excision, anesthetized with sevoflurane, were enrolled in this retrospective, observational study. Anesthetic records were allocated to two groups: Sevo-Op (sevoflurane and short acting opioid infusion): 8 dogs and Sevo-Dex (sevoflurane and dexmedetomidine infusion): 13 dogs. Average mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, end-tidal carbon dioxide, end-tidal sevoflurane and intraoperative infusion rates during surgery were calculated. Presence of intra-operative and post-operative bradycardia, tachycardia, hypotension, hypertension, hypothermia, hyperthermia was recorded. Time to endotracheal extubation, intraoperative occurrence of atrioventricular block, postoperative presence of agitation, seizures, use of labetalol and dexmedetomidine infusion were also recorded. Data from the two groups were compared with Fisher's exact test and unpaired t tests with Welch's correction. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for categorical variables. Intra-operatively, MAP was lower in Sevo-Op [85 (± 6.54) vs. 97.69 (± 7.8) mmHg, p = 0.0009]. Time to extubation was longer in Sevo-Dex [37.69 (10-70) vs. 19.63 (10-25), p = 0.0033]. No differences were found for the other intra-operative and post-operative variables investigated. Post-operative hypertension and agitation were the most common complications (11 and 12 out of 21 animals, respectively). These results suggest that the infusion of dexmedetomidine provides similar intra-operative conditions and post-operative course to a short acting opioid infusion during sevoflurane anesthesia in dogs undergoing elective rostrotentorial or transfrontal intracranial surgery.

배경: 관상동맥수술에서 동맥도관의 장점이 확인되면서, 우위망동맥(right gastroepiploic artery)의 사용이 점차 늘고 있다. 우위망동맥을 근위부 협착이 심하지 않은 관상동맥에 유근이식편(pedicled uaft)으로 사용할 경우 역행성 혈류가 발생할 수 있다는 보고들이 많아지면서, 수술 전에 역행성 혈류를 예측하려는 시도가 계속되고 있다. 본 연구는 정상 관상동맥과 우위망동맥 사이에 생리적으로 존재하는 혈압차(Vessure difference: PD)를 증명하고 협착 관상동맥의 경협착 맥압차(trans-stenosis pressure gradient: TSPG)와의 상관관계를 분석함으로써, 우위대망동맥을 유근이식편으로 사용할 때 역행성 혈류가 발생할 수 있는 근위부 협착의 정도를 예측하기 위해 고안되었다. 대상 및 방법,. 1998년 7월부터 1999년 2월까지 관상동맥 조영술에서 정상으로 판정된 12명의 환자에서 우관상동맥과 우위망동맥(혹은 복강동맥; celiac uef)의 압력을 측정하여 혈관 사이의 혈압차(PD)를 측정하였다. 관상동맥협착이 확인된 29명의 환자에서는 경협착 맥압차(TSPG)를 측정하였다. 결과:정상 환자군에서 우관상동맥과 우위망동맥의 수축기혈압은 143$\pm$23 : 134$\pm$17 mmHg(p<0.005), 이완기혈압은 74$\pm$13 : 73$\pm$14 mmHg(p=NS), 평균혈압은 100$\pm$16 : 97$\pm$15mmHg이었다(p<0.05). 동맥 사이의 압력차(PD)는 수축기혈압 -8~25 mmHg, 이완기혈압 -4~7 mmHg, 평균혈압 -1 ~ 10mmHg이었다(p<0.05). 관상동맥협착 환자군에서 경협착맥압차(TSPG)는 75% 미만의 협착의 경우 -4~l9(7$\pm$5.8) mmHg이고, 75% 이상의 협착의 경우 7~74(27$\pm$18.3) mmHg이었다(p<0.005). 75% 이상의 협착에서는 관상동맥의 경협착 맥압차(TSPG)가 우위망동맥과의 생리적 혈압차(PD) 보다 크고, 협착 원위부 관상동맥의 혈압도 우위망동맥 혈압보다 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001). 결론: 관상동맥우회술 후 역행성 혈류의 발생원인이 우위대망동맥과 협착하부 원위부 관상동맥 사이의 압력차이라고 가정할 때, 본 연구의 결과는 우위대망동맥을 75%이상 협착병소에 유근이식편으로 사용할 경우 역행성 혈류가 발생할 가능성이 적어진다는 것을 시사할 수 있다.

배경:이동식 인공심폐기는 심정지 기간 동안 안정한 혈역학 상태를 유지하여 생존율을 향상시킬 수 있기 때문에 강력하고 효과적인 심폐소생법의 하나로 그의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구진은 초기모델의 한국형 이동식 심폐소생기를 이용한 심폐소생술과 기존의 개흉식 심폐소생술을 비교하여 혈역학 유지와 소생 여부 및 신체장기들에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 한국산 잡견 8마리(30∼51kg)를 대상으로 개흉식 심폐소생술군과 심폐소생기를 이용한 심폐소생술군으로 각각 4마리 씩 나누었다. 4분 간의 심실세동형 심정지 기간이 지난 후 15분 간의 기본 심폐소생술(basic life support; BLS)을 실시하고 30분 간의 고급 심폐소생술(advanced life support; ALS)을 실시하여 자발순환회복, 혈역학 상태, 혈구성분에 미치는 효과, 혈액 가스 검사, 생화학 검사 및 생존율 등을 알아보았다. 심장압박과 폐환기는 두 군 모두 동일한 조건으로 유지하였으며, 고급 심폐소생술 시작과 동시에 제세동을 하고 에피네프린 및 탄산수소나트륨을 투여하여 자발순환회복을 유도하였다. 측정한 관찰값은 심정지전 관찰값으로부터의 변화율(%)로 환산하여 평균±표준편차로 표시하였다. 결과: 고급 심폐소생술 초기에 평균 체동맥압은 심폐소생기군에서 개흉식 심폐소생술군 보다 높게 유지되었고 (90±19% vs. 71±32%, p<.05), 평균 폐동맥압은 심폐소생기군이 개흉식 심폐소생술군 보다 낮게 유지되었다 (105±24% vs. 146±6%, p<.05). 자발순환회복은 모든 실험견에서 나타났다. 자발순환회복 후 심폐소생기군에서 혈중 헤마토크리트치, 적혈구와 혈소판 수가 유의하게 감소하였고 혈중 유리헤모글로빈치는 유의하게 증가하였다(p<.05). 혈액가스검사와 lactate 및 CK-MB치는 두 군간에 차이가 없었다. 실험 후 조기사망은 심폐소생기군에서 2마리, 개흉식 심폐소생술군에서 3마리에서 있었다(생존기간 228±153 vs. 31±36 시간, p=ns). 나머지는 모두 장기 생존율을 보였다. 결론: 본 연구결과 이동식 심폐소생기를 이용한 심폐소생술은 심정지 기간 동안 안정한 혈역학 상태를 유지하여 자발순환회복 및 장단기 생존율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 추후 이동식 심폐소생기 개선과 임상적용을 위해 초기모델을 수정 보완하는 실험연구가 더 필요하리라 본다.

배경: 고려대학교 흉부외과학교실에서는 심폐소생술에서 인공심 사용이 기존의 표준 심폐소생술에 비해 나은 결과를 보인다는 점에 착안하여 한국형 이동식 심폐소생기를 개발하고자 하였다. 1997년 1월부터 8월까지 한국형 이동식 심폐소생기 개발의 전단계로 심폐정지 모델 결정 및 표준 폐쇄식/ 개흉식 심폐소생술의 비교와 관찰지표 설정을 위한 준비실험을 실시하였다. 대상 및 방법: 실험은 한국산 잡견 9마리(28-35kg)를 대상으로 폐쇄식 심폐소생술군 4마리와 개흉식 심폐소생술군 5마리로 나누어, 4분 간의 심정지 및 15분간의 일차 심폐소생술(basic life support; BLS)과 30분간의 이차 심폐소생술(advanced life support; ALS)을 실시하였다. 심장압박은 폐쇄식군의 경우 흉부에 압박을 가하였고 개흉식군에서는 직접 심장을 맛사지하였다. 소생술기간에 양군 모두 동일한 조건의 폐환기 상태를 유지하였으며, 자발성 순환회복은 이차심폐소생술 기간 초기부터 재세동과 에피네프린 및 탄산수소 나트륨을 투여하여 유도하였다. 결과: 심폐소생술 기간안에 평균 체동맥압은 BLS 동안 폐쇄식군이 33$\pm$11 mmHg인데 비해 개흉식군은 45$\pm$15 mmHg로 높게 유지되었으며, ALS 동안에도 폐쇄식군 44$\pm$15 mmHg에 비해 개흉식군이 83$\pm$36 mmHg로 높게 유지 되었으나 통계상의 유의성은 없었다. 한편 평균 폐동맥압은 BLS 동안 폐쇄식군에서 32$\pm$10 mmHg로 평균 체동 맥압과 비슷한 정도로 증가하였으나 개흉식군은 22$\pm$4 mmHg로 평균 체동맥압의 약 50%정도까지만 증가하였고, ALS 동안에도 폐쇄식군은 32$\pm$15 mmHg로 개흉식군의 24$\pm$10 mmHg보다 높게 유지되었으나 통계처리상 유의성 은 없었다. 자발성 순환회복(restoration of spontaneous circulation; ROSC) 및 심폐소생 성공 여부에서 폐 쇄식군은 4마리 모두 사망하였으나 개흉식군은 5마리중 4마리가 생존하였고 생존기간은 384$\pm$705시간이였다 (p<.05). 결론: 본 연구 결과 개흉식 심폐소생술은 폐쇄식 소생술에 비해 비록 통계학상의 차이는 없었으나 소생술 기간 동안 비교해서 안정된 혈역학 상태를 유지하여서 자발성 순환회복 및 장단기 생존율을 향상시킬 수 있었다고 판단된다.
