The pectus excavatum or funnel shaped thorax is a relatively frequent malformation of the chest wall which composed of depressed sternum and costal cartilage. The so-called sternal turnover operation for pectus excavatum has been disappointing due to postoperative complication such as fistula formation with necrosis of bone and muscle. Thus, the need of preserved vascular pedicle to sternum was stressed in this type of operation, keeping the bilateral internal mammary vessels preserved. We have experienced two cases of modified sternal turnover in children and obtained satisfactory postoperative results.

The bronchogenic cyst, one of rare congenital cystic disease, was reported occasionally since the first description of Bartholinus in 1678. The increased use of roentgenograms of the thorax and the widening scope of thoracic surgery was made, and much more cases of bronchogenic cysts has been observed. The most common location of a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst was the hilum. The treatment for bronchogenic cyst is surgical resection. Forty eight cases of bronchogenic cysts which were pathologically confirmed, are reported and the related literatures are reviewed.

A tracheo-esophageal fistula following from blunt chest trauma is one of less common lesion and few guidelines are available to direct its optimal management. Herein, we report a 24-year-old man injured in a motor vehicular accident sustained a nonpenetrating double blowout injury of the thorax and large tracheoesophageal fistula occurred. Tracheal defect required resection and reconstruction, of which the membranous portion underwent closure with borrowed adjacent esophageal wall primarily and substernal left colon interposition was performed 4 weeks later.

In the diagnostic evaluation of thoracic lesions, the image-guided transthoracic needle biopsy was developed, and its role was expanded with the development of cross-sectional detection and characterization of thoracic lesions and advances in biopsy needle design and techniques. Particularly for diagnostic evaluation of solitary pulmonary nodules, transthoracic needle biopsy has emerged as the invasive procedure of choice. This article covers the indication, the pre-procedure preparation, various guidance-modalities and techniques, and complications.

Recently we experienced one, case of epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum of a 50 - year - old female patient who had complained heaviness in her chest after meals and occasional dysphagia for one year. Preoperative barium study showed a large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum at about 7cm above the diaphragm which protruded to the right side of the mid thorax. On the operation field, epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum, measuring 5x 6x3cm in size, was noted. Diverticulectomy and extended myotomy was performed and the postoperative course was uneventful.

Thoracic outlet syndrome refers to compression of the subclavian vessels and brachial plexus at the superior aperture of the thorax. A 35-year old female was evaluated for right hand numbness. This patient had a history of headache, right shoulder pain, and right hand numbness during 10 months.Preoperative angiography, EMG, and NCV was performed. First rib and cervical rib resection was done with transaxillary approach. After operation, right hand numbness and right shoulder pain were disappeared. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Traumatic rupture of the right hemidiaphragm occurred following a high-velocity motor vehicle collision in the case presented herein. The resulting herniation of small bowel loops into the thorax resulted in hemodynamic and respiratory compromise due to pressure effects on the right heart and major vessels. The patient's hemodynamic status improved with reduction of enterothorax, and the diaphragmatic defect was repaired. We discuss the available literature and learning points from this rare case.

Fat shot은 골프에서 공보다 뒤땅을 먼저 치게 되는 샷의 공식 용어이다. 본 연구에서는 fat shot과 정상적인 샷의 동작을 비교 분석하였다. K 대학교 교원 5명을 연구대상자로 선정하였으며, 개인별 fat shot이 최소 5개 체크될 때까지, 샷을 계속하게 하였다. AD, MBS, TBS, MDS, IMP, MF를 분석 시점으로 설정하였고, 구간 소요시간, 지면반력 패턴, 백스윙 크기, 팔꿈치 각도, 코킹 각도, 골반과 몸통의 회전, 골반 선속도 각속도 등을 분석하였다. 변인별 차이를 확인하기 위해 대응표본 검증을 실시하였다. Fat shot의 주요 원인으로 간주되는 다운스윙에서의 빠른 코킹 풀림, 다운스윙 초기의 오른 팔꿈치 신전, 뒷발에 체중을 실은 채로 하는 스윙 등의 형태는 나타나지 않았다. 백스윙 크기와 X-Factor 크기, 골반과 몸통의 회전각도, 골반의 회전각속도에서도 두 샷 간 차이가 나지 않았다. 그러나 정상적인 샷에 비해 Fat shot은 다운스윙 초반이 아닌, 후반부 임팩트 바로 직전의 다소 급격한 체중 이동 형태와 다운스윙 과정 중 골반의 타겟 방향으로의 급격한 가 감속, 그리고 골반의 수직 상방으로의 다소 작고 늦은 타이밍의 움직임 속도패턴을 나타내었다.

A Study on the distribution and types of the total 40 CT units, as of 1st October 1990, in Pusan area(29 for whole body CT units, 11 for brain CT units) were carried out during the period from January 1989 to December 1989 to find out the status of operation and utilization of whole body CT units. The results were as following ; 1. As of 1st October 1990 in Pusan area, a total of 40 CT units(29 for whole body CT units, 11 for brain CT units) were set up and operated. The number of cases of CT examination performed per day per unit were appeared to be less than 5 cases among 59.5% of CT units, and 2.7% of the total units has peformed more than 16 examinations. 2. The CT units under operation occupied 93.5% of the total and 2.6% of the total units was not properly been operated due to mechanical breakdown. This results is appeared to be better than other reports. 3. The average number of scanning per week for each CT were 35 cases and the average days under operation of the unit per week were 6.7 days. Consequently, the average days under operation of units was higher than that of the other reports, but the average number of scanning was lower. 4. The cases referred from other institutes to hospitals were 6.4% of total cases. 5. As a site of scanning, the brain appeared most frequently with 71.2% of the total cases and followed by spine 12.4%, abdomen 8.5%, and thorax 3.6%, respectively. 6. Positive rate by scanning was 70.8% of total cases, and it was 98.9% with thorax, abdomen 96.3%, spine 93.1%, and brain 38.4%, respectively. According to the results of this study, it is highly recommended that the regulations and the guidelines for setting-up of such high cost medical equipments as CT units be provided in order to ensure the cost-effectiveness of the system.
