To reduce an economic loss by swine disease, this study was designed to provide helpful data which are particularly useful for each individual farm. From february to December 2009, a total of 18,173 slaughter pigs (612 herds) were randomly sampled, which were produced just in southern region of Gyeonggi-do. We examined all of them for the slaughter lesions of 8 kind diseases such as swine enzootic pneumonia (SEP), pleuritis (PL), pleuropneumonia (PP), white milk spot in liver (WMS), papular dermitis (PD), pericarditis (PC), ileitis (IL) and peritonitis (PT). Twenty four percentages (4431/18173 pigs) of the examined pigs had no lesions about 8 kind diseases. Among the pigs with lesions, the numbers of the pigs with just one lesion were 7,637(42%), followed by 4,551(25%) pigs with 2 lesions. Average prevalence of pigs were 56.5% (10288/18173 pigs) in SEP, followed by 34% in PL, 12.4% in PP, 10.1% in WMS, 6.1% in PD, 4.7% in PC, 0.1% in IL and PT, respectively. Each prevalence of SEP, PL, PP and PD was higher in spring than in winter, respectively (P<0.01). Among the pigs (n=6,105) with 2 or more than 2 kinds of lesions the top (55.5%) was the pigs with SEP and PL, and the second was 1,179 (19.3%). Swine enzootic pneumonia was considered as one of the more likely risk factors for initiation or/and acceleration of other diseases such as PL, PP, WMS and PD. The lesion of SEP was relatively severe since the pigs with late stage were more (7,277 pigs) than those with early stage.

This is a report on a total of 11 cases of esophageal perforation in the department of thoracic surgery, Chonnam University Hospital during the period of 8 years from 1962 to 1969. They occurred by the following agents, that is,lye solution[7 cases], fish bone[2 cases]. compress air [one case], strong acid [one case]. The perforated portions of esophagus were cervical esophagus in 2 cases, upper third of esophagus in 5 cases, middle third of esophagus in 3 cases and lower third of esophagus [abdominal esophagus] in one case. 4 cases out of cases of esophageal perforation after ingestion of Lye solution were due to Bougination to improve esophageal stenosis: 2 cases occurred 2 months after ingestion of Lye solution and the remaining 2 cases, 2 to 3 weeks after Lye solution ingestion. Therefore, It is realized that Bougination for esephageal stricture by Lye solution is particularly dangerous. The complication after esophageal perforation were mediastinitis,[10 cases], right pyothorax with mediastinitis [8 cases], peritonitis [4 cases], esophago-bronchial fistula[one case]. Owing to the various complications above mentioned, surgical approach to esophageal perforation is accordingly complicated and a combination of more than two of the following different procedures were properly used case by case, that is. gastrostomy or jejunostomy for feeding and esophageal rest,thoracotomy and chest drainage, lung decortication for pyothorax, primary closure of compress air perforation and esophago-bronchial fistula, mediastinostomy, retrosternal esophagoplasty using right colon to Lye stricture etc. 5 cases[45. 5%] of 11 cases were expired and the rest of 6 cases[54.5%]were survived with complete accomplishment of surgical procedures and satisfactory healing in 4 cases and interruption of follow up in 2 cases because of poor economical condition of the patients.

Purpose: Malnutrition is a significant issue for pediatric patients with cancer. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness and complication rate of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) placement in pediatric oncology patients. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 49 pediatric oncology patients undergoing PEG placement at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital between 2000 and 2016. Demographic and clinical characteristics, complications, absolute neutrophil count at time of PEG placement and at time of complications, length of stay, and mortality were identified. Weight-for-age Z-scores were evaluated at time of- and six months post-PEG placement. Results: The overall mean weight-for-age Z-score improved by 0.73 (p<0.0001) from pre- (-1.11) to post- (-0.38) PEG placement. Improvement in Z-score was seen in patients who were malnourished at time of PEG placement (1.14, p<0.0001), but not in those who were not malnourished (0.32, p=0.197). Site infections were seen in 12 (24%), buried bumper syndrome in five (10%), and tube dislodgement in one (2%) patient. One patient (2%) with fever was treated for possible peritonitis. There were no cases of other major complications, including gastric perforation, gastrocolic fistula, clinically significant bleeding, or PEG-related death documented. Conclusion: Consistent with previous studies, our data suggests a relationship between site complications (superficial wound infection, buried bumper syndrome) and neutropenia. Additionally, PEG placement appears to be an effective modality for improving nutritional status in malnourished pediatric oncology patients. However, larger prospective studies with appropriate controls and adjustment for potential confounders are warranted to confirm these findings.

Purpose: Intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in children. While most patients can be treated by enema reduction, about 20% require surgery. We investigated the usefulness and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery and the intraoperative risk of bowel resection. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed pediatric patients who underwent surgery for intussusception from 2010 to 2017. We collected data for age, gender, body weight, associated symptoms, duration of symptoms, white blood cell count, operating time, and postoperative complications. Results: Of 155 patients, 37 (23.8%) underwent surgery due to enema reduction failure in 29 (78.3%), recurrence in 6 (16.3%), a suspicious lead point in 1, and suspicious ischemic change observed on ultrasonography in 1. The mean age was $26.8{\pm}18.9$ months (range, 3.5~76.7 months), and the mean body weight was $12.9{\pm}3.9kg$ (range, 5.4~22.2 kg). Laparoscopic surgery was successful in 29 patients (78.4%), and 7 (18.9%) needed bowel resection and anastomosis. The mean operating time was $56.7{\pm}32.8min$. A lead point was found in 3 patients in the bowel resection group (p=0.005); in addition, the operating time and hospital stay were longer in this group. There were no intra- or postoperative complications. Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery was successful in 78.4% of the patients with a short hospital stay and early oral intake. The only predictive factor for bowel resection was the presence of a lead point. Laparoscopic surgery may be an optimal treatment intervention for children with intussusception, except for those who show initial peritonitis.

Feline hemotropic mycoplasmosis (hemoplasmosis) is an infection of the red blood cells caused by the Mycoplasma haemofelis (Mhf), Candidatus Mycoplasma haemominutum (CMhm), and Candidatus Mycoplasma turicensis (CMt). The existence of Mhf, CMhm, and CMt has been demonstrated in feral cats in Korea using molecular methods, but no clinical cases have yet been reported. This study reports 2 clinical cases of hemotropic mycoplasmosis caused by CMhm and CMt in 2 anemic cats. The first case was a client-owned intact female domestic shorthair cat that presented with fever, pale mucous membranes, and normocytic normochromic non-regenerative anemia. Prior to referral, an immunosuppressive prednisolone dose was administered at the local veterinary clinic for 1 month. The cat was diagnosed with high-grade alimentary lymphoma. Organisms were found on the surface of the red blood cells on blood smear examination. The second case was of a rescued cat that presented with dehydration and fever. The cat had normocytic normochromic non-regenerative anemia. Necropsy revealed concurrent feline infectious peritonitis. Polymerase chain reaction assay targeting 16S rRNA revealed CMhm infection in case 1 and dual infection of CMhm and CMt in case 2. Normocytic normochromic non-regenerative anemia was observed in both cats before and during the management of the systemic inflammation. This is the first clinical case report in Korea to demonstrate CMhm and CMt infections in symptomatic cats.

Mesenteric injury occurs rarely in cases associated with blunt abdominal trauma. Despite its low incidence, mesenteric injury can lead to fatal outcomes such as hypovolemic shock due to hemoperitoneum or sepsis due to intestinal ischemia, or perforation-related peritonitis. For mesenteric injuries, especially those involving massive bleeding, intestinal ischemia, and perforation, the standard treatment is surgery. However, in the case of operative management, it should be borne in mind that there is a possibility of complications and mortality during and after surgery. The usefulness of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is well known in solid organs but is controversial for mesenteric injury. We present a 75-year-old man with mesenteric injury due to blunt abdominal trauma. Initial abdominal computed tomography showed no hemoperitoneum, but a mesenteric contusion and pseudoaneurysm with a diameter of 17 mm were observed near the origin of the superior mesenteric artery. Since there were no findings requiring emergency surgery such as free air or intestinal ischemia, it was decided to perform nonoperative management with TAE using microcoils in hybrid emergency room system. TAE was performed successfully, and there were no complications such as bleeding, bowel ischemia, or delayed bowel perforation. He was discharged on the 23rd day after admission with percutaneous catheter drainage for drainage of mesenteric hematoma. The authors believe that treatment with TAE for highly selected elderly patients with mesenteric injuries has the positive aspect of minimally invasive management, considering the burden of general anesthesia and the various avoidable intraoperative and postoperative complications.

목적 : 복강경을 이용한 복막투석도관 삽입술은 직접 복강 내를 들여다보며 시술할 수 있어 위치 선정이 쉽고, 조직 손상이 적으며 합병증이 적다는 장점이 있으나, 소아에서의 경험은 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 소아에서 복강경을 이용한 복막투석도관 삽입술의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 방법 : 2002년부터 2006년까지 삼성서울 병원에서 31명의 환아를 대상으로 복강경을 이용하여 복막투석도관 삽입술을 시행한 21례와 고식적 수술 방법으로 투석도관을 삽입한 16례의 의무기록을 바탕으로 복막투석관 삽입 후 첫 2개월간 투석도관의 누출, 폐쇄, 삽입 부위의 감염, 위치 이동 등 복막투석관 삽입과 관련된 합병증에 대해 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 결과 : 고식적 수술을 받은 군(16례)에서 1례(6.3%)에서 수술 직후 심한 출혈로 재수술을 받았고, 복막액의 누출은 2례(12.5%) 있었으며, 보존적인 치료로 호전되었다. 삽입 부위 감염은 없었으나, 2례(12.5%)에서 복막염이 발생하였다. 투석도관의 이동으로 인한 기능부전이 3례 있었고 이중 2례에서 재수술을 받았으며, 1례는 보존적인 치료로 호전되었다. 복강경 수술을 받은 군(21례)에서 2례(9.5%)에서 투석액의 누출이 있었고, 보존적인 치료로 호전되었다. 삽입 부위의 감염은 없었고, 복막염이 2례(9.5%)에서 있었다. 1례에서 투석도관의 막힘이 있었고, 이 경우는 기존의 고식적 수술로 투석관 삽입 후 투석관 이동으로 재 삽입 후 불응성 복막염으로 투석관을 제거한 뒤 복강경 수술을 받은 증례였다. 투석도관의 이동은 없었다. 두 군의 합병증의 발생빈도는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론 : 본 연구에서 소아에서 복강경적 투석도관 삽입술을 시행한 경우, 1세 미만의 소아에서도 시술이 가능하였으며, 기존의 수술법에 비해 합병증이 증가하지 않았다. 또한 절개범위를 더 넓히지 않으면서도 장간막 절제 및 투석도관의 고정이 가능하여, 이를 통해 추후 투석도관의 이동이나 폐쇄의 위험요소를 줄일 수 있다는 장점이 있었다. 따라서 소아에서 복막투석도관 수술 시 복강경적 방법을 이용하는 것이 효율적인 복막 투석을 위해 유용하다고 생각된다.

목적: 공기 정복술은 조작이 간단하고 정복 시간이 빠르며 방사선 노출 시간이 짧고 천공 이환률이 낮다는 장점이 있다. 장중첩증 치료에 정복술에 실패한 경우 수술적 치료를 하게 되는데 대부분은 장절제 없이 단순 도수 정복만으로 치료되는 경우가 많으며 상당수에서는 이미 정복된 상태로 발견되기도 한다. 일차 공기 정복술에 실패한 장중첩증 환자에서 반복 지연 정복술을 시행하여 그 유용성 및 안전성을 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 1998년 1월부터 1999년 12월까지 일차 공기 정복술을 시행하여 실패한 환자 중 복막염, 쇼크, 독성 증상이 없는 임상적으로 안정된 21명을 대상으로 1시간에서 3시간(평균 2.2 시간)후에 이차 지연 정복을 시행하였다. 결과: 정복술 시행 전 환자들의 증상 및 징후의 지속 시간은 6~48시간이었으며 평균 24시간이었다. 일차 정복 후 1~3시간 후(평균 2.2 시간)에 이차 지연 정복술을 시행하였고 76.2% (21례 중 16례)에서 성공적으로 정복되었으며 나머지 5례는 수술적 치료를 하였다. 이중 4례는 도수 정복되었으며 1례는 자연 정복되어 있었다. 결론: 초기 정복에 실패한 장중첩증 환자에서 임상적으로 안정적일 경우 시간 간격을 두고 반복지연 정복술을 시행하는 것은 불필요한 수술의 빈도를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

복막투석은 혈액에서부터 오는 체액과 노폐물을 교환하는 복강내의 막인 복막을 이용한 투석방법으로, 신부전과 중독증 환자에서의 치료법이다. 본 연구에서는 신부전증 개에서 자동투석기를 이용한 복막투석의 치료효율과 합병증에 대해 평가하였다. 10마리의 개를 대상으로 Swan neck 카테터(Neonatal, Coviden)와 자동 복막투석기를 사용하여 복막투석을 실시하였고, 그 효과는 요소감소율(urea reduction ratio)로 평가하였다. 평균 크레아틴닌 감소율과 평균 요소감소율은 $7.09{\pm}3.84$과 $145.8{\pm}48.5$였다. 평균 투석횟수는 $6{\pm}1$회 였다. 투석치료후 유의성 있는 요소의 감소가 7/10 개에서 관찰되었고, 유의성 있는 크레아틴의 감소가 9/10 개에서 관찰되었다. 요소의 감소율이 크레아틴 감소율보다 더 높게 관찰되었다. 1회 투석당 요소와 크레아틴닌의 감소율은 $0.064{\pm}0.023$과 $0.065{\pm}0.023$이 였다. 본 연구에서의 복막투석에 따른 합병증은 카테터 막힘, 투석액의 피하누출, 패혈성 복막염, 저알부민혈증, 과수화 등이었다. Swan neck 카테터와 자동 복막투석기를 이용한 복막투석은 임상에서 적용 가능하였으며 본 연구를 통하여 성공적인 복막투석의 가능성을 보여주었다. 하지만 합병증을 최소화하기 위해서는 주의 깊은 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
