With improving survival of children with complex congenital heart disease (CCHD), postoperative complications, like protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) are increasingly encountered. A 3-year-old girl with surgically corrected CCHD (ventricular inversion/L-transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, pulmonary atresia, postdouble switch procedure [Rastelli and Glenn]) developed chylothoraces. She was treated with pleurodesis, thoracic duct ligation and subsequently developed chylous ascites and PLE (serum albumin ${\leq}0.9g/dL$) and was malnourished, despite nutritional rehabilitation. Lymphangioscintigraphy/single-photon emission computed tomography showed lymphatic obstruction at the cisterna chyli level. A segmental chyle leak and chylous lymphangiectasia were confirmed by gastrointestinal endoscopy, magnetic resonance (MR) enterography, and MR lymphangiography. Selective glue embolization of leaking intestinal lymphatic trunks led to prompt reversal of PLE. Serum albumin level and weight gain markedly improved and have been maintained for over 3 years. Selective interventional embolization reversed this devastating lymphatic complication of surgically corrected CCHD.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis may be defined as an obstructive congenital deformity of the ascending aorta which originates just distal to the level of the origin of the coronary arteries. It may occur in several different anatomical form. Three type have been described; the hourglass, the hypoplastic and the membranous type, each term identifying the gross characteristic of the lesion causing by the aortic obstruction. Non cardiovascular condition commonly associated with supravalvular aortic stenosis are mental retardation, facial anomalies, hypercalcemia, etc. The diagnosis can be established preoperatively by left heart catheterization and selective angiography. Recently, we experienced a case of multiple localized supravalvular aortic stenosis involving, just above the sinus Valsalva and just proximal of the innominate artery. The surgical correction which was performed by a vertical incision across the each narrowing of aorta with replacement of diamond shaped double velour Woven Dacron patch under the CPB. He was discharged without any event.

The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage II colon cancer remains a controversial issue. Adjuvant chemotherapy aims to eliminate any micrometastatic disease that may have been missed, at the time of surgery. Although one prospective study showed a small but statistically significant benefit with respect to the overall survival for those who received adjuvant chemotherapy, multiple pooled data did not demonstrate any benefit of this therapy in patients with stage II colon cancer. Current national and international guidelines for the adjuvant treatment of stage II colon dose not advise routine implementation of adjuvant chemotherapy, but rather recommend selective use of this therapy for patients with high risk of recurrence. High risk features for recurrence include T4 disease, poorly differentiated histology, presence of lymphovascular invasion, presence of perineural invasion, inadequate retrieval of lymph nodes, bowel obstruction, localized perforation, or positive margins. More recently, prediction tools using gene expression cancer profiles are proposed to identify patients who are most likely to have recurrence and therefore may benefit from postoperative chemotherapy in stage II colon cancer. These novel methods together with conventional prognosticators, will allow us to implement more optimized personalizing adjuvant therapy in these patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the initial experience and outcome of photo-selective vaporization of the prostate (PVP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in Pakistan with the use of a 980 nm diode laser. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was performed from November 2016 to December 2017. A total of 100 patients diagnosed with bladder outlet obstruction secondary to BPH who planned for PVP were enrolled in the study. PVP was carried out with a diode laser at 980 nm (Biolitec Diode 180W laser) in a continuous wave with a 600 nm (twister) fiber. Baseline characteristics and perioperative data were compared. Postoperative outcomes were evaluated by International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), post void residual (PVR) and maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) at 3 and 6 months after surgery. Results: The mean age was $65.82{\pm}10.42$, mean prostate size was $67.35{\pm}16.42$, operative time was $55.85{\pm}18.01$ and total energy was $198.68{\pm}49.12kJ$. At 3 months and 6 months, significant improvements were noted (p<0.001) in IPSS $7.04{\pm}1.69$ (-18.92), Qmax $19.22{\pm}4.75mL/s$ (+13.09) and and PVR $18.89{\pm}5.39mL$ (-112.80). Most frequent problems were burning micturition (35%) and terminal dysuria (29%). No significant difference in postoperative hemoglobin was seen in patients who were on anti-platelet drugs. Conclusions: PVP with a diode laser is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of BPH and is also safe in patients who are on anti-platelet agents.

Objective : Although management of asthma has become increasingly effective, its cure remains elusive, necessitating a new modality to prevent or eliminate causes triggering clinical progress. Based in the clinical experiences, a novel decoration Cheongsangbiyeum (CSB), has been developed to treat asthma, which consists of Polyporus, Semen Myristicae, Pericarpium citri Reticulatae, Rhizoma Cimicifugae, Cortex Albizziae, Fructus Rubi, Rhizoma Zedoariae, and Rhizoma Rhei. In the current study, its anti-asthmatic efficacy was evaluated using a mouse model of asthma. Methods : Experimental allergic asthma was induced by repeated intraperitioneal sensitization and intranasal challenge of ovalbumin (OVA). Water extract of CSB (1 mg/mouse/day) was administrated orally whereas control mice on given with identical volume of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 5 days during the course of antigen challenge. When airway hyperreactivity(AHR) measured by ${\bata}-methacoline-induced$ airflow obstruction was compared, AHR of CSB-treated mice was significantly lower than those of control mice, indicating that CM extract can attenuate an asthmatic symptom. Airway recruitment of leukocytes and eosinophils was also markedly reduced by CSB treatment suggesting that oral treatment of CSB can alleviate the airway inflammation. For a better understanding of possible mechanisms underlying anti-asthmatic effet of CSB, cytokine (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and $IFN{\gamma}$ levels in bronchoalveola lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissues were determined. Results : The results showed that cytokine levels were significantly lowered by CSB treatment. Additionally, number of draining lymph node cells was significantly lower than those of control mice. These data indicate that CSB suppress in vivo allergen-specific response. However, notably, levels of type 2 cytokines such as IL-5 and IL-13 were more profoundly influenced. Moreover, in vitro OVA-specific proliferative response and type 2 cytokine (IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13) production lymph node cells was markedly decreased in CSB-treated mice, whereas their $IFN{\gamma}$ production was not significantly altered Thrse data clearly showed a preferential inhibition of type 2 T cell (Th2) response by CSB treatment. This finding was also supported by serum antibody data showing that levels of OVA-specific type 2 antibodies, IgE and IgG1, in CSB-treated mice were significantly lower than in control mice, while type 1 antibody, IgG2a level m rather higher than controls, although the difference was in significant. Conclusions : In conclusion, oral administration of CSB attenuates asthmatic manifestations including AHR ad airway recruitment of eosinophils in a mouse model which possibly results from selective inhibition of Th2 cell response to allergen. Our data suggest a potential clinical application of CSB for control of allergic asthma.

좌우 경동맥을 결찰하여 혈뇌장벽에 변화를 일으킨 백토에서 뇌압하강제(mannitol, steroid) 및 뇌압하강 방법(과호흡)의 효과를 관찰하였다. Mannitol군에서는 steroid군, 과호흡군에 비해 뇌압감소가 통계적으로 유의하게 있었으며, 시간적으로 mannitol 투여 후 25~30분까지 뇌압이 45%까지 감소하여 지속되었다. Steroid군에서는 mannitol군보다는 뇌압 절대치의 감소폭은 적었지만, 과호흡군 보다 2배 이상의 뇌압감소가 있었고, mannitol군보다 더욱 오랫동안 뇌압감소의 효과가 지속되었다. 과호흡군에서는 mannitol군, steroid군에서보다는 뇌압감소 효과가 적었으나, 과호흡 시행 후 10분까지 13.5~16.7%의 뇌압감소가 있었고, 그 이후 시간 경과에 따른 더 이상의 뇌압감소 효과는 없었다. Mannitol, steroid, 과호흡군을 모두 시행한 복합치료군에서는 mannitol 및 steroid, 과호흡을 각각 시행한 군에서보다 뇌압 감소가 더욱 현저하게 이루어져 30분까지 48~52%의 뇌압감소가 있었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어보아 뇌허혈성 뇌졸중 환자에서 mannitol 및 steroid사용과 병행하여 과호흡을 실시함으로써 뇌압감소를 위한 적절한 치료의 지표가 될 것이라 판단다.
