Hamartoma had been considered as a congenital malformation of a tumerous lesion since the original description by Albrecht in 1904. Pulmonary hamartoma is able to classified as endobronchial and intrapulmonary hamartoma clinically, and is considered to benign mesenchymal neoplasms which originated in peribronchial connective tissue, and so called mesenchymoma by someone. We have experienced 3 cases intrapulmonary hamartoma which were discovered during routine chest film check up at all cases and are able to detailed histologic examination by electron microscopy at one case.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is becoming a standard method for invasive mediastinal staging and for the diagnosis of paratracheal and peribronchial lesions. It is essential to understand the technical aspects of EBUS-TBNA to ensure safe and efficient procedures. In this review, we discuss the practical aspects to be considered during EBUS-TBNA, including anesthesia, manipulation of equipment, understanding mediastinal ultrasound images, target selection, number of aspirations needed per target, sample handling, and complications.

Atelectasis with chronic pneumonitis affecting the right middle lobe secondary to compression of the middle lobe bronchus by enlarged indurated or calcified peribronchial nodes is defined as middle lobe syndrome clinicopathologically. The lesion in this series of case reports including tuberculous lymphadenitis, lung cancer, atelectasis and lung abscess with organizing pneumonitis, had been treated by lobectomy. Postoperative courses were uneventful in all patients. Herewith, we report these four experiences with review of literature.

Background: Korean ginseng is a well-known medicinal herb that has been widely used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases, including asthma. Ginseng can be classified as white ginseng (WG) or red ginseng (RG), according to processing conditions. In this study, the authors compared the efficacies of these two ginseng types in a mouse model of acute asthma. Methods: To produce the acute asthma model, BALB/c mice were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) and aluminum hydroxide, and then challenged with OVA. WG and RG extracts were administered to mice orally. The influences of WG and RG on airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), immune cell distributions in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and OVA-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), IgG1, and IgG2a in serum were investigated. Cytokine production by lymphocytes isolated from peribronchial lymph nodes and histopathological changes was also examined. Results: In OVA-sensitized mice, both WG and RG reduced AHR and suppressed immune cell infiltration in bronchoalveolar regions. BALF OVA-specific IgE levels were significantly lower in RG-treated OVAsensitized mice than in the OVA-sensitized control group. WG and RG also suppressed inflammatory cytokine production by peribronchial lymphocytes. Histopathological findings showed reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and airway remodeling (e.g., epithelial hyperplasia) in WG- and RG-treated OVA mice compared with OVA controls. Conclusion: In this study, WG and RG showed antiasthmatic effects in an OVA-sensitized mouse model, and the efficacies of RG were found to be better than those of WG.

We have performed left lung transplantations in 15 dogs for one year and six months from June, 1990 to December, 1991 at the Repartment of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Yonsei University College of medicine, Seoul, Korea. These dogs were sacrificed at from operative day to post-operative 15 days when their general conditions were deteriorated. The gross findings of the transplanted lungs were thrombi in left atrium in three cases, partial occlusion of pulmonary artery or pulmonary veins in three cases, hemorrhage at pulmonary arterial anastomotic site in one case and bronchial anastomotic stenosis in two cases, bronchial anastomotic rupture in one case % no abnormal gross findings in four cases. The microscopic findings of the transplanted lungs were hemorrhagic infarction in one case, perivascular hemorrhage or pulmonary edema in two cases, peribronchial inflammatory cell infiltration & pneumonia in three cases, and alveolar type rejection with infiltration of type II pneumocytes and septal thickening in 3 cases. And also there were no abnormal findings including rejection or inflammatory evidences in six cases. The one among these six dogs survived to 15 days without evidence of rejection or inflammatory reaction & died due to postoperative care accident.

Broncholithiasis is defined as a cor9ition in which a concretion is present within a bronchus or a cavity in the lung communicating with a bronchus. The usual causes of broncholithiasis are known as tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, silicosis, aspirated calculi, and a few fungal infections. It is generally accepted that the constant motion created by respiration and beating of the heart may cause the peribronchial calcified lymph node to erode into the tracheobronchial tree and to form broncholith. After the analysis of our 6 cases of broncholithiasis which were treated surgically in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital from 1960 to December, 1985, we could suggest that intrinsic formation of calculi should be regarded as the pathogenesis of broncholithiasis in addition to the extrinsic formation of calculi.

I clinically analysed 13 cases of broncholithiasis which treated surgically and found only four cases of broncholithiasis caused by the erosion of the peribronchial lymph node named by extrinsic formation[Group II], and nine cases of broncholithiasis caused by intrinsic formation[group I] which indicates that no evidence of the erosion of the calcified per-ibronchial lymph node into the bronchial tree was found. This study is performed to see any differences between two groups regarding presenting symptoms, locations of broncholith, preoperative diagnosis, a history of pulmonary tuberculosis, a procedure of operation, and chemical compositions of broncholiths from both groups. There was no difference between two groups in the presenting symptoms, the procedure of operation, and chemical compositions of broncholiths. The broncholits from group two is located in the right middle lobe bronchus, and the broncholiths of group one were distributed at various bronchi, In group one, only five cases out of nine had preoperative diagnosis[55.5%], but in group two, all four had preoperative diagnosis. All cases had good postoperative courses without any complication and recurrences.

Pathological studies, on the lung of 27 cases of bovine parasitic bronchitis which were secured from abattoirs in Korea, were performed and discussed. The chief pathological findings were as follows. Grossly, the lungs were shown various degree of lobular consolidation, collapse and alveolar emphysema around the bronchi in which nematodes of Dictyocaulus viviparus were present. Emphysema and edema were observed in the interlobular septa. The lesions were encountered mostly in the caudal and ventral borders of the diaphragmatic lobes. In all the cased of parasitic bronchitis in which thickening of the visceral pleura and fibrinous deposition on the pleural surfaces were not seemed to be entirely due to the lungworm infection. Microscopically, bronchopneumonia, peribronchial and peribronchiolar lymphoid hyperplasia, lympho-reticular broncho-occlusive legion, and bleakthrough lesion were examined in the affected lungs.
