It is difficult to find the penetrating foreign bodies in the head and neck area only with history taking and physical examinations. One of the most important things is to detect the precise location of foreign bodies or possibly remained materials. The detection of wooden foreign bodies is important because they can cause phlegmon formation and because wood is often contaminated by Clostridium tetani bacteria. CT has proved to be an expedient method for detecting foreign bodies of various materials in soft tissues, but the wooden foreign body is often misinterpreted as a gas bubble in soft tissue. We have experienced a case of wooden foreign body which has penetrated through nasal dorsum and remained for 4 months. It had been initially misinterpreted as longstanding inflammatory lesion and osteitis of maxilla and nasal bone.

It was the study on moxibustion-theraphy of Febrile-Disease to use clinical basic material date by the classic Literature, As a result The results were summerised as follows: 1. Principle of moxibustion-theraphy on fever of excess type is 'conducting heat with heat, (heat) had heat go out'. 2. Principle of moxibustion-theraphy on fever of defficiency type is 'Yin grows while yang is generating'. 3. The study on moxibustion-theraphy of Febrile - Disease is enable to use general term for manic-depressive psychosis, heat syndrome of febrile disease, heat (syndrome) of zang and fu(five solid organs and six hollow organs), jaundice, diabetes, hectic fever(due to yin-deficiency) etc. of medcine-disease. 4.

1. Xiaoke(消渴) had been defined symptoms as polyuria with polydysia in Han and Dang Dynasty(漢唐時代), diagnosed variable disease as to the region of typical symptoms in Jin and Yuan Dynasty(金元時代) and classified into Upper-jiao(上消), Middle-jiao(中消), Lower-jiao(下消) by typical symptoms in Ming and Qing Dynasty(明淸時代). 2. The complications of Xiaoke(消渴) consist of carbuncle and phlegmon(癰疽), hemorrhoid and diarrhea(痔疾), an eye disease(眼病) such as nyctalopia(雀目) and cataract(內障) without Zhongman and Guzhang(中滿鼓脹) resulted from wrong medical treatmentis considered the pathology of Huore(火熱) 3. The pathology of Xiaoke(消渴) has been taken an instance of Shen-zao(腎燥), Five zang-organs's ganzao(五臟乾燥), Zao-re(燥熱), Shi-huo(實火) and Xu-huo(虛火), and since Jin and Yuan Dynasty(金元時代) generally cosidered Zao-re(燥熱). 4 The complications of Xiaoke(消渴) are explained the pathology of Huore(火熱), in the an opinion that the the pathology of Huore(火熱) changed into Zao-re(燥熱), and then Zao(燥), the pathology of Xiaoke(消渴) is similar to Huo(火), the pathology of Jungpung(中風).

Objectives: Infection involving the orbit, zygomatic space, lateral pharyngeal space, or hemifacial and oral floor phlegmon is referred to as cervicofacial infection (CFI). When diagnosis and/or adequate treatment are delayed, these infections can be life-threatening. Most cases are the result of odontogenic infections. We highlight our experiences in the management of this life-threatening condition. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients who presented with CFI from December 2005 to June 2012 at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic or the Accident and Emergency Unit of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (Zaria, Nigeria). The medical records of all patients who presented with either localized or diffuse infection of the maxillofacial soft tissue spaces were retrospectively collected. Data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 13.0 and are expressed as descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Of the 77 patients, 49 patients (63.6%) were males, a male to female ratio of 1:7.5. The ages ranged from two years to 75 years with a mean of $35.0{\pm}19.3$ years, although most patients were older than 40 years. The duration of symptoms prior to presentation ranged from 6 to 60 days, with a mean of $11.0{\pm}9.4$ days. More than 90% of the patients presented to the clinic within the first 10 days. The most commonly involved anatomical space was the submandibular space (n=29, 37.7%), followed by hemifacial space (n=22, 28.6%) and buccal space (n=7, 9.1%). Ludwig angina accounted for about 7.8% of the cases. Conclusion: CFI most commonly involves the submandibular space, typically affects individuals with a low level of education, and is influenced by traditional medical practices. Despite improved health care delivery, CFI remains a significant problem in developing countries.

Objective : To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and the patterns of postoperative spinal infection according to the passage of time. Methods : Institutional review board approval was obtained, and informed consent was not obtained for the retrospective review of patients' medical records. A total of 43 patients (27 men and 16 women; mean age, 64) diagnosed with postoperative spinal infection were included in this study. We retrospectively reviewed the MRI findings and the medical records and categorized the infection sites based on MRI, i.e., anterior, posterior, and both parts. The duration of the clinical onset from surgery was divided, i.e., acute (${\leq}2weeks$), subacute (2-4 weeks), and late (>4 weeks). Results : Postoperative spinal infection was involved in the posterior part in 31 (72%), anterior part in two (4.7%), and both parts in 10 patients (23.3%). Abscess or phlegmon in the back muscles and laminectomy site were the most common MRI findings. The number of patients with acute, subacute, and late clinical onset were 35, two, and six, respectively (mean, 33.4 days; range, 1-730 days). The mean duration of the clinical onset was 12 days in the posterior part, 15.2 days in both parts, and 456.5 days in the anterior part. Conclusion : Postoperative spinal infection usually occurred within four weeks in the posterior part and over time the infection was considered to spread into the anterior part. For the evaluation of postoperative spinal infection, the posterior surgical field was more important than the vertebral body or the disc space on MRI.

총대퇴동맥의 가성동맥류는 시술 후 천자 부위에 발생할 수 있는 심각한 합병증이다. 양측 총대퇴동맥에 동시에 발생한 가성동맥류는 매우 드물게 보고되었다. 저자들은 양측 총대퇴동맥 접근하에 하지혈관 시술을 한 58세 남자 환자에서, 시술 후 양측 서혜부 연조직염 및 농양이 생겨 치료하였는데 2개월 후 같은 위치에 가성동맥류가 발견된 증례를 경험하였다. 환자의 수술 거부로 좌측 가성동맥류는 스텐트 그라프트를 삽입하였고 우측 가성동맥류는 풍선확장술로 총대퇴동맥을 일시적으로 폐쇄한 후 초음파 유도하에 트롬빈을 주입하여 치료하였다. 가성동맥류는 대부분 시술 후 즉시 발생한다. 그러나 수주 혹은 수개월 후 지연성으로 발생하는 경우도 있기에 위험인자를 잘 확인하고 지혈 부위의 주의 깊은 관찰이 필요하다.

연구배경 : 선천성 기관지 식도루는 1세 미만의 유아에서 조기에 발견되는 것이 보통이나 성인에서도 드물게 발견되며, 성인의 경우는 식도폐쇄를 동반하지 않는 경우에 속하며 만성 기침, 반복되는 폐렴이나 화농성 객담의 만성적인 배출등과 함께 수분 혹은 음식 섭취와 연관되어 발작적인 기침을 호소하는 특징이 있다. 그러나 단순히 재발성 폐렴이나 만성 기관지염, 기관지확장증 등으로 오인되어 장기간 치료받는 경우가 많아 이의 조기 진단과 치료가 중요하겠다. 방 법 : 1979년부터 1995년까지 저자 등이 경험하였던 13예와 국내 문현보고상 22예를 포함하여 질병경과 및 진단, 치료등에 대한 후향적인 분석을 실시 하였다. 결 과 : 진단당시 대상환자의 평균연령은 $40.2{\pm}14.3$세, 남녀 성비는 18 : 17 였다. 임상양상은 기침(91.4%), 수포음(78.3%), 객담(74.3%), 객혈(25.7%), 환자의 체위에 따른 야간성 발작성 기침(20%), 전흉부동통(11.4%), 식도 게실로 인한 구토와 토혈이 3예(8.6%)로 관찰되었다. 수분을 섭취한 후 발생되는 전형적인 Ono 병력 기록이 된 31예중 21예(67.7%)였다. 최초 임상증상의 시작연령은 $20.5{\pm}18.5$년 이였고, 이러한 증상의 지속 기간은 $20.9{\pm}14.3$년이였다. 선천성 기관지식도루로 진단되기전 진단으로 기관지확장증이 45.7%로 가장 많았고 폐렴이 31.5%, 만성기관지염 23%, 폐농양 13%, 폐결핵 7% 등의 순이였다. Braimbridge-Keith 분류에 의한 유형을 확인 할 수 있었던 31예중 제 1형이 14예(45.1%), 제 2형이 15예(48.4%), 제 3형과 제 4형이 각각 1예(3.2%)씩 이였다. 기관지식 우하엽이 26예(76.5%), 좌측하엽이 17.6% 좌측 주기관지가 6% 였다. 치료는 폐엽절제술이 17예(50.0%), 구역절제술 4예(11.8%), 단순루관절제술 4예(11.8%), 전폐절제술 4예(11.8%) 였다. 식도쪽 개구부위는 중부식도가 78%, 하부식도가 22% 였다. 결 론 : 성인에서의 선천성 기관지 식도루는 반복되는 호흡기 증상을 동반하고 수분섭취후 발작적인 기침을 하는 특정을 갖고 있어 단순히 우하엽 폐의 고질적인 기관지 확장증이나 반복적인 폐렴 혹은 폐농양등으로 간과 될 수 있어 주의를 요하며 이런경우 원인질환을 의심하여 조기진단 및 치료가 가능하도록 호흡기 내과의사의 관심이 요망된다.
