결핵은 높은 이환과 사망을 일으키는 질병으로 현대의학의 발달에 따라 발생률과 사망률은 감소하고 있다. 그러나 한국은 아직까지 OECD 국가 중 결핵 발생률과 사망률이 가장 높다. 이에 따라 한국은 결핵의 예방 및 통제를 위해 여러 정책 사업을 실시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공공민간협력(public-private mix) 결핵관리사업이 치료결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 결핵환자의 치료 성공에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하고자 한다. 질병관리본부에서 관리하는 결핵환자 신고 자료를 이용하여 2012-2015년 전국 결핵 신환자 코호트 약 13만명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 누적 발생 함수(cumulative incidence function)를 이용하여 요인별로 누적 치료 성공률을 비교하였으며. 주 관심사건(치료성공) 및 경쟁사건(사망)을 고려한 두 가지 경쟁위험모형(cause-specific Cox's proportional hazards model and subdistribution hazard model)을 사용하여 분석 결과를 비교하였다.

From October 1990 to May 1993, 19 patients underwent replacement of the transverse aortic arch. [10 men, 9 women, mean age 52.5 years] Underlying diseases were acute aortic dissection [10 cases], chronic aortic dissection [4 cases],and aortic arch aneurysm [ 5 cases]. In 19 patients, 10 underwent partial replacement and 9 underwent total arch replacement. The cerebral protection was achieved by profound hypothermia [rectal temperature,16$^{\circ}$ to 2$0^{\circ}C$] associated with total circulatory arrest [mean 35.5 minutes]. In one patient, the aortic arch distal to the left common carotid artery was resected with the distal arch being cross-clamped and in another two patients, the selective cerebral perfusion was also applied during the period of total circulatory arrest via innominate artery and left common carotid artery because of longer total circulatory arrest time. Among 14 patients of aortic dissecton, 10 presented hypertension, 1 presented Marfan syndrome, 1 presented pregnancy-induced hypertension and 2 revealed no evidence of hypertension. All of the above 14 patients complained chest pain. Among 5 patients of aortic arch aneurysm, Be het disease was suspected in only one patient and atherosclerotic aneurysm was proved in another 4 patients. The overall hospital mortality was 32% [6/19]. In aortic dissection, the mortality was 43% [Acute aortic dissection 30%, chronic aortic dissection 75%] and in aortic arch aneurysm, the mortality was 0%. Follow-up was done in all survivors for from 7 months to 36 months[mean,17.3%].

Between 1985 and 1993, 29 children from 1 to 15 years of age have undergone cardiac valve replacements at Buchon Sejong Hospital. The patients were composed of 20 males and 9 females and 17 patient had congenital heart disease and 12 patients had acquired heart disease. Two of these patients have had second valve replacements due to paravalvular leakage and valve thrombosis. Single valve replacements were 29 and double valve replacements were 2. All the patients had received prosthetic valves except one. Among the 25 patients who had definite post-operative records, the overall mortality was 12%[4% was early mortality and 8% was late mortality].25 patients were followed up with coumadin anticoagulation for total 633 patient-months[minimum 2 months to maximum 93 months, mean 25.3 months] and actuarial survival rate was 88.5 $\pm$ 6.3% at 7 years and event free rate was 70.3 $\pm$ 11.7% at 7 years. These results suggest that pediatric valve replacements can now be performed at a low operative risk although various problems are still remained and the choice of valve is prosthetic valve mainly due to its durability at the present time.

허혈성 심장 질환자가 급성 심근경색으로 병원에 도착하여 경피적 관상동맥 중재술을 받는데 까지 걸리는 시간(door-to-balloon time)은 환자의 사망률에 매우 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 병원에서 사용하고 있는 응급서비스시스템을 개선하고자 3단계의 시간 중 보호자에게 연락과 보호자가 병원에 도착할 때까지의 시간(door-to-data time), 이후 시술동의서에 서명할 때까지의 시간(data-to-decision time)을 줄이고자 하였다. 새로운 e-응급서비스시스템은 급성심근경색을 가진 응급시술환자에 대한 병원 내 응급서비스시스템 내의 데이터베이스를 구축하였고 허혈성 심장 질환자로서 부산대학교병원에 주기적으로 내원하는 환자에게 건강카드(health card)를 발급하였다. 아울러 사전시술동의서는 공인된 전자화 문서로 보관하도록 하였다. 새로운 전자화 시스템은 복잡한 진료 및 시술 절차를 획기적으로 감소시킬 수 있다. 그러므로 응급환자에 대한 인명구조를 용이하게 하고 사망률을 감소시키는 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 기존 시스템의 복잡한 절차로 인한 의료진과 환자의 고충을 동시에 해결하는 효과도 기대할 수 있다.

Purpose: This hospital has operated a trauma system of the inclusive trauma system under the sponsorship of this hospital and with financial support from the government from 2011, and it has been designated as a specialized trauma center (candidate) since November 2008. Therefore, this emergency medical center evaluated the influence of the inclusive trauma system on the course of healing and on the results for trauma patients within the region. Methods: The medical records of all patients who were registered as trauma patients from among those who visited the emergency medical center of this hospital from April 2009 to May 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The monthly and the annual averages of important indices, such as the time in the emergency room and preventable mortalities, were calculated, and patterns of change were sought. The preventable mortality rate was calculated by using the Trauma Injury Severity Score (TRISS) for each patient. Results: The total number of patients registered from April 2009 to May 2012 was 601, and male patients accounted for a larger proportion(432 males(71.88%) vs. 169 females(28.12%)). Their average age was 46.2 years, the average Revised Trauma Score (RTS) was 5.74 points, and the average Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 26.99 points. The preventable mortality rate during the entire period, which was calculated using the TRISS, appeared lower than the preventable mortality rates reported in past studies in the Republic of Korea. Conclusion: These results for the operation of a new trauma system are limited in that they are only for a local private university hospital. However, results show greater changes and developments in and out of the hospital due to multilateral endeavors by the trauma team and the hospital. These endeavors include increased communications among the departments and development of a complementary patient registration system.

From January 1985 to December 1992, of 1257 patients who underwent a heart valve replacement 210 [16.8% underwent reoperation on prosthetic heart valves, and 6 of them had a second valve reoperation. The indications for reoperation were structural deterioration [176 cases, 81.5% , prosthetic valve endocarditis [25 cases, 11.6% , paravalvular leak [12 cases, 5.6% , valve thrombosis [2 cases, 0.9% and ascending aortic aneurysm [1 case, 0.4% . Prosthetic valve failure developed most frequently in mitral position [57.9% and prosthetic valve endocarditis and paravalvular leak developed significantly in the aortic valve [40%, 75% [P<0.02 . Mean intervals between the primary valve operation and reoperation were 105.3$\pm$28.4 months in the case of prosthetic valve failure, 61.5$\pm$38.5 months in prosthetic valve endocarditis, 26.8$\pm$31.2 months in paravalvualr leak, and 25.0$\pm$7.0 months in valve thrombosis. In bioprostheses, the intervals were in 102.0$\pm$23.9 months in the aortic valve, and 103.6$\pm$30.8 months in the mitral valve. The overall hospital mortality rate was 7.9% [17/26 : 15% in aortic valve reoperation [6/40 , 6.5% in reoperation on the mitral prostheses [9/135 and 5.7% in multiple valve replacement [2.35 . Low cardiac output syndrome was the most common cause of death [70.6% . Advanced New York Heart Association class [P=0.00298 , explant period [P=0.0031 , aortic cross-clamp time [P=0.0070 , prosthetic valve endocarditis [P=0.0101 , paravalvularr leak [P=0.0096 , and second reoperation [P=0.00036 were the independent risk factors, but age, sex, valve position and multiple valve replacement did not have any influence on operative mortality. Mean follow up period was 38.6$\pm$24.5 months and total patient follow up period was 633.3 patient year. Actuarial survival at 8 year was 97.3$\pm$3.0% and 5 year event-free survival was 80.0$\pm$13.7%. The surgical risk of reoperation on heart valve prostheses in the advanced NYHA class patients is higher, so reoperation before severe hemodynamic impairment occurs is recommended.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze survival outcomes in 1,000 consecutive liver transplantations (LTs) performed at a single institution from 1993 to April 2017. Methods: The study population was divided into 2 groups based on donor type: deceased donor LT (DDLT; n = 181, 18.1%) and living donor LT (LDLT; n = 819; 81.9%), and into 3 periods based on the number of cases (first 300 cases, middle 300 cases, last 400 cases). Results: Infection was the most common cause of death, accounting for 34.8% (95 of 273). Mortality due to hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence occurred most frequently between 1 and 5 years after transplantation. Mortality rate by graft rejection was highest between 5 and 10 years after transplantation. And mortality by de novo malignancy occurred most frequently after 10 years after transplantation. The patient survival rates for the entire population at 5 and 10 years were 74.7%, and 68.6%, respectively. There was no difference in survival rate between the LDLT and DDLT groups (P = 0.188). Cause of disease, disease severity, case period, and retransplantation had a significant association with patient survival (P = 0.002, P = 0.031, P = 0.003, and P = 0.024, respectively). Conclusion: Surgical techniques and perioperative management for transplant patients have improved and undergone standardization. Controlling perioperative infection and managing patients with HCC as LT candidates will result in better outcomes.

Until March 1991, 435 St. Jude Medical valves and 330 CarboMedics valves were implanted in 358 and 251 patients, respectively. 300 patients were male and 309 were female with the mean age of 35.6 years[from 2 month to 68 years]. 458 valves were implanted in the mitral, 272 in the aortic, 25 in the tricuspid, and 10 in the pulmonic position. Postoperatively, all patients except for very young patients were given coumadin with or without dipyridamole for anticogulation Operative mortality was 7.3%[45 deaths per 618 operations]. A total follow-up of 1244.8 patient-years was achieved for the operative survivors with a follow-up rate of 96.8%, [mean follow-up period=26.3 months /patient, ranging from 1 to 80 months]. Functional improvement was evident; 66.7% of these patients were in NYHA functional class III or IV preopratively, whereas 98.4% are in class I or II pos-toperatively. There occurred 13 late deaths[7 valve-related] and 55 valve-related complications. Linearized rates of late death and valve-related complications were 1.0%/ patient-year, 4.42%/patient-year, respectively. Rates of thromboembolism, anticoagluation-related hemorrhage were 1.12%/patient-year, 1.69% /patient-year, respectively. Actuarial survival at 5 years is 96.0% and complication-free survival at 5 years is 83.9%. No difference in survival and incidence of complications was found between the St. Jude and CarboMedics valves. On the basis of this experience, we believe that the pyrolytic carbon bileaflet mechanical valves are safe and preferable choice among current valve prostheses.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a disease that causes bleeding in the subarachnoid space; 70%-80% of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhages are caused by saccular aneurysms. If the patient has already experienced a ruptured aneurysm that causes subarachnoid bleeding, rebleeding can result in a high mortality rate and serious sequelae. Therefore, if the patient can undergo surgical or interventional treatment, it should always be performed. This patient was diagnosed with acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and hydrocephalus. The patient was hospitalized for uncontrolled headache and vertigo after aneurysm coil embolization and ventriculoperitoneal shunting. The patient was treated with Yangkyuksanwha-tang and acupuncture and was observed with a symptom checklist for 25 days. Headache improved, from a visual analog scale (VAS) score of 7 to 0. Vertigo also improved, from a numeric rating scale (NRS) of 6 to 2, and the vertigo pattern changed from rotational to nonrotational. This case suggests that Korean medicine treatment is helpful in managing subarachnoid hemorrhage sequelae.
