  • Purpose: With increasing life expectancy, the presence of comorbidities has become a major concern in elderly patients who require surgery. However, little is known about the impact of different comorbidities on the outcomes of laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). In this study, we investigated the impact of comorbidities on postoperative complications in patients undergoing LTG for gastric carcinoma. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the cases of 303 consecutive patients who underwent LTG for gastric carcinoma between 2005 and 2016. The associations between each comorbidity and postoperative complications were assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results: A total of 189 patients (62.4%) had one or more comorbidities. Hypertension was the most common comorbidity (37.0%), followed by diabetes mellitus (17.8%), chronic viral hepatitis (2.6%), liver cirrhosis (2.6%), and pulmonary (27.1%), ischemic heart (3.3%), and cerebrovascular diseases (2.3%). The overall postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were 20.1% and 1.0%, respectively. Patients with pulmonary disease significantly showed higher complication rates than those without comorbidities (32.9% vs. 14.9%, respectively, P=0.003); patient with other comorbidities showed no significant difference in the incidence of LTG-related complications. During univariate and multivariate analyses, pulmonary disease was found to be an independent predictive factor for postoperative complications (odds ratio, 2.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-4.64), along with old age and intraoperative bleeding. Conclusions: Among the various comorbidities investigated, patients with pulmonary disease had a significantly higher risk of postoperative complications after LTG. Proper perioperative care for optimizing pulmonary function may be required for patients with pulmonary disease.

  • Background: Chronic bronchitis (CB) is an important phenotype in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of this study is to evaluate different pattern of COPD assessment test (CAT) score between CB and non-CB patients. Methods: Patients were recruited from 45 centers in Korea, as part of the Korean COPD Subgroup Study cohort. CB was defined when sputum continued for at least 3 months. Results: Total 958 patients with COPD were eligible for analysis. Among enrolled patients, 328 (34.2%) were compatible with CB. The CAT score was significantly higher in patients with CB than non-CB, and each component of CAT score showed a similar result. CB was significantly associated with CAT score when adjusted with age, sex, modified Medical Research Council, and post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second. Each component of CAT score between patients with CB and non-CB showed different pattern according to Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease grade. Conclusion: CAT score is significantly higher in patients with CB than non-CB. Each component of CAT score was significantly different between two groups.

  • In Korea. many people enjoy eating raw or underkooked freshwater crayfish and crabs which unfortunately may cause paragonimiasis. Here, we describe a case of pulmonary and abdominal paragonimiasis in a 9-year-old girl, who presented with a 1-month history of abdominal pain, especially in the right flank and the right inguinal area, with anorexia. A chest radiograph revealed pleural effusion in both lungs, and her abdominal sonography indicated an inflammatory lesion in the right psoas muscle. Peripheral blood analysis of the patient showed hypereosinophilia (66.0%) and an elevated total serum lgE level (>2,500 IU/ml). The pleural effusion tested by ELISA were also positive for antibodies against paragonimiasis. Her dietary history stated that she had ingested raw freshwater crab, 4 months previously. The diagnosis was pulmonary paragonimiasis accompanied by abdominal muscle involvement. She was improved after 5 cycles of praziquantel treatment and 2 times of pleural effusion drainage. In conclusion, herein, we report a case of pulmonary and abdominal paragonimiasis in a girl who presented with abdominal pain and tenderness in the inguinal area.

  • The half-turned truncal switch (HTTS) operation has been reported as an alternative to the Rastelli or $r{\acute{e}}paration$ $\grave{a}$ $l^{\prime}{\acute{e}}tage$ ventriculaire procedures. HTTS prevents left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction in patients with complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis (PS), or in those with a Taussig-Bing anomaly with PS. The advantages of the HTTS procedure are avoidance of late LVOT or right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction, and of overstretching of the pulmonary artery. We report the case of a patient who underwent HTTS for TGA with VSD and PS, in whom there was no LVOT obstruction and only mild aortic regurgitation and mild RVOT obstruction, including observations at 12-year follow-up. Our experience with long-term follow-up of HTTS supports a solution for late complications after the Rastelli procedure.

  • Based on the statistical data of FKMIS during five years from 1981 to 1985, the major findings of studying on the treatments of employee's modical insurance covered people were made as follows. 1. During five years, the total number of trratment case was increased 25.14% annually, and so doubled. The consultation rate was increased from 2.086 to 2.856, showng annual increase of 8.17% and total increase of 36.91%. In the cafe, of in-patient, the rate was from 0.056 to 0.602, . showing annual increase of 2.58%. And in out-patient, the rate was from, 2.030 to 2.794, showing annual increase of 8.31%. The male: female ratio of treatment case was changed from 1 : 1.1 to 1 : 1.2. 2. Case of chronic disease was on the increase .every year. The ratio of medical expenditure of that disease to the total medical expenditure was increased from 22.99% in 1984 to 25.0% in 1985. 3. As a whole, the consultation rate of circulatory disease was increased from 26.10 in 1981 to 46.53 in 1985, showing an nual increase of 15.55 %. The rate of in-patient was increased from 2.06 to 2.94, showing annual increase of 9.30%. The rate of out-patient wag from. 24.04 to 43.59, showing annual increase of 16.04%. 4. The duration (days) of circulatory disease in 1985 by types is as follows. In the case of in-patient, rheumatic fever rheumatic heart disease, (22. 67), ischaemic disease (17.39), cerebrovascular disease (17.18), disease of pulmonary circulation and other from of heart disease (15.82), hypertensive disease (13.18), other disease of circulatory disease(11.55). In the case of out-patient, visiting day (11.57 day) and medical expenditure per case (7,853 won) is lower than that of other diseases (4.39 day, 4,361 won). 5. Cases of circulatory chronic disease were two times as many as those of non-chronic disease. Incidence of the out-patient was shown higher than that of in-patient. In the case of duration per case, the chronic disease(12.92 days) was longer that of non-chronic disease (9.8 day). 6. The male: female ratio of chronic rheumatic heart disease is 34.56 : 65.44 (in-patient) and 34. 67 : 65.33 (out-patient). The consultation rate(case per 1,000 persons) was increased from 1.11 in 1983 to 1.30 in 1985, showing annual increase of 8.22 %. The duration, visiting day, was decreased slightly, but medication day wasincreased from 13.93 in 1983 to 16.72 in 1985, showing annual increase of 9.56%. 7. The male: female ratio of hypertensive disease (case) was 39.36 : 60.64(in-patient) and 40.67 : 59.33 (out-patient). The consultation rate was increased from 19.59 in 1983 to 25.36 in 1985, showing annual increase of 13.78%. Duration, visting day was decreased slightly, but medication day was increased from 11.82 in 1983 to 12.77 in 1985, showing annual increase of 3.94%. 8. The male: female ratio of chronic pulmonary-ischaemic heart disease (case) was 48.90 : 51.10 (in-patient) and 43.66 : 56.34 (out-patient). The consultation rate of chronic pulmonary-ischaemic heart disease was increase from 0.69 in 1983 to 1. 12 in 1985, showing annual increase of 27.40%. Duration, visiting day, was decreased from 2.67 in 1983 to 2.36 in 1985, and medication day was decreased from 0.69 in 1983 to 1.12 in 1985, showing annual decrease of 2.09%. 9. The male: female ratio of cerebrovascular disease (case) was 47.90 : 52.10 (in-patient) and 52.28 : 47.72 (out: patient). The consulatation rate was increased from 2.12 in 1983 to 2.89 in 1985, showing annual increase of 16.76%, Duration, visiting day, was decreased slightly, but medication day was increased from 12. 67 in 1983 to 13.85 in 1985, showing annual increase of 4.55%. 10. In case of artery and capillary disease, the male: female ratio of case was 61.80 : 38.20 (in-patient) and 51.77 : 48.23 (out-patient).

  • 연구배경: 쯔쯔가무시병, 렙토스피라병, 신증후출혈열은 우리나라에서 흔한 급성열성질환으로 최근 발병과 유행성의 보고가 있음에도 불구하고 열성질환에 있어서 폐침범에 대한 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 열성질환에 있어서 폐합병증이 있을 때 임상적으로 더 심한 경과를 보이고 CRP 수치도 더 높게 측정되는 경우가 있어 입원 시 측정한 CRP값이 조기에 적극적인 치료 대상에 대한 예측인자가 될 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 2002년 1월부터 2008년 5월까지 한림대학교 춘천성심병원에서 혈청학적 검사에서 양성이거나 임상적으로 진단을 받았던 환자를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 하였다. 결 과: 총 105명의 환자가 대상이 되었고 쯔쯔가무시병 63명(63%), 신증후출혈열 32명(30.5%), 렙토스피라병 10명(9.5%)이었고 폐침범은 42명(40%)에서 관찰되었으며 폐부종 20명(19%), 가슴막삼출 20명(19%), 간질폐렴 2명(2%)이었다. CRP는 평균 8.87${\pm}$7.29 mg/dl였고 20 mg/dl 이상의 높은 값을 보였던 환자도 8명 있었고 폐침범 중 간질폐렴 형태에서 가장 높은 평균값을 보였다(p=0.027). 폐합병증을 보였던 환자군에서 임상적으로 심한 경과를 보였으며 중환자실 입원치료와 인공호흡기 치료를 동반하고 있었고 더 높은 CRP값을 보였다(p=0.0073). 결 론: 급성열성질환에 있어서 폐합병증을 보인 군에서 더 높은 CPR 수치가 측정되었으며 입원 시 CRP측정을 통해 조기에 더 적극적인 치료가 필요한 환자군을 선택할 수 있고 폐침범에 의한 사망률과 치명률의 감소에도 도움이 될 것으로 추정된다.

  • Cough is the most common respiratory symptom that can have various causes. It is a major clinical problem that can reduce a patient's quality of life. Thus, clinical guidelines for the treatment of cough were established in 2014 by the cough guideline committee under the Korean Academy of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases. From October 2018 to July 2020, cough guidelines were revised by members of the committee based on the first guidelines. The purpose of these guidelines is to help clinicians efficiently diagnose and treat patients with cough. This article highlights the recommendations and summary of the revised Korean cough guidelines. It includes a revised algorithm for the evaluation of acute, subacute, and chronic cough. For a chronic cough, upper airway cough syndrome (UACS), cough variant asthma (CVA), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) should be considered in differential diagnoses. If UACS is suspected, first-generation antihistamines and nasal decongestants can be used empirically. In cases with CVA, inhaled corticosteroids are recommended to improve cough. In patients with suspected chronic cough due to symptomatic GERD, proton pump inhibitors are recommended. Chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, bronchiolitis, lung cancer, aspiration, intake of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, intake of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, habitual cough, psychogenic cough, interstitial lung disease, environmental and occupational factors, tuberculosis, obstructive sleep apnea, peritoneal dialysis, and unexplained cough can also be considered as causes of a chronic cough. Chronic cough due to laryngeal dysfunction syndrome has been newly added to the guidelines.

  • Total anomalous pulmonary venous return is a cardiac malformation in which there is no direct connection between any pulmonary vein and the left atrium but, rather all the pulmonary veins connect to the right atrium or one of its tributaries. TAPVC is a relatively uncommon anomaly, accounting for only about 1.5-3% of cases of congenital heart disease. Recently improvement in intraoperative techniques did eventually bring substantial improvements in the results in infants. 4 cases of TAPVC was successfully treated with one-stage operation, in the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, National Medical Center in which 2 cases are supracardiac types and the other 2 cases are cardiac types. Sex ratio was 1:1, and the range of age was 2 years-18 years. The common pulmonary venous sinus was connected to the left vertical vein and innominate vein: in 2 supracardiac types and coronary sinus in 2 cardiac types. All cases are operated with standard cardiopulmonary bypass, and the hospital mortality was 0%.

  • Cor triatriatum is a rare entity of congenital heart disease characterized by the presence of a fibrousmuscular diaphragm that subdivides the left atrium into a proximal or "accessory" chamber and a distal or "true" left atrial chamber. In the other hand, cor triatriatum is a variant of abnormal connection between the pulmonary vein and true left atrium which is separated from accessory left atrium receiving pulmonary venous blood flow by fibromuscular diaphragm. We experienced two cases of cor triatriatum. One of them was classical, and the other case was combined with atrial septal defect and all pulmonary veins were drained into the " common pulmonary venous chamber " which connected with right atrium and there was no direct communication between the accessory chamber and true left atrium. The abnormal diaphragms were excised and the atrial septal defect was repaired with pericardial patch in case II. The postoperative courses were not eventful and the patients were discharged with good result, and have been in good condition upto now.n good condition upto now.

  • There is tendency of increasing number and decreasing age of patients who are indicated for Rastelli operation for their cyanotic congenital heart disease. So there is the need to find the criterion which saves the patients from early postoperative hemodynamic disturbances. We reviewed the 26 patients who had been performed Rastelli operation at Seoul national University Hospital from January 1981 to June 1988. mean age of the patients was 7.8*3.4 years[range 2.5-15years], mean body surface area[BSA] 0.79*0.25m2[range 0.49-1.51m2] and mean hematocrit 57.95*12%[range 48-80%]. We divided these patients into survived group and died group before postoperative 72 hours, and analyzed preoperative arterial oxygen saturation[SaO2], the ratio of diameter of right pulmonary artery to ascending aorta[RPA/AA], the ratio of both right and left pulmonary artery diameter to descending thoracic aorta[RPA+LPA/DTA], pulmonary artery index[PA index], cardiopulmonary bypass time, aorta cross-clamping time, postoperative perfusion state and total amount of dopamine infused postoperatively. The results showed that RPA+LPA/DTA and PA index were statistically significant factors to influence early postoperative cardiac death rate[P< 0.05]. Especially there were good linear correlations between PA index[X] and peripheral perfusion index[Y][Y= - 1.15+0.02 X, r=0.86, P<0.01]and between PA index[X] and total amount of dopamine infused before postoperative 72 hours[mg/kg, Y][Y=61.94 - 0.15 X, r=-0.80, P < 0.01]. Also there were tendencies that the higher RPA+LPA/DTA[Y], the better peripheral perfusion [X] and the lower need of dopamine[X], but no statistical significance.[Y=0.78+1.60 X, r =0. 49, P >0.05] And the discriminate analysis showed that patients with PA index over 221 mm2/BSA could undergo correction with 25 per cent of error rate. In conclusion, early postoperative hemodynamic states could be predicted by preoperatively measured PA index, and which can be used as a criterion for Rastelli operation performed on cyanotic congenital heart disease.
