근상피종은 방추형, 형질세포양, 상피세포양, 투명세포들의 다양한 비율로 구성되는 양성종양으로 기관내 발생빈도가 극히 희귀하여 현재까지 전세계적으로 1례가 보고 되었으며 국내에서는 아직 보고례가 없었다. 본 증례는 우측 경부 종괴를 주소로 내원한 38세 여자 환자로 갑상선 종양및 기관종괴 진단하에 절제문합술을 시행하였다. 절제된 종괴는 주위와 잘 경계지워지는 충실성 조직으로 이루워져 있으며 주로 방추형 혹은 상피양 세포로 구성되고 간간히 세포질의 투명변성이 보였다. 이들 세포는 S-100 단백과 평활근 액틴에 양성이었고 전자현미경 검색상 세포질내에 다량의 소섬유와 기저막 물질이 세포질외에서 관찰되어 양성 근상피종에 합당한 소견을 보였다. 환자는 술후 8개월째 합병증없이 정상생활을 영위하고 있다.

기관기관지는 기관우측벽에서 기시하는 이상 혹은 부기관지를 말하며 재발성 폐렴, 비폐쇄성 기관지 확장증 등의 염증성 질환과 관련 있다. 최근에 우리는 폐 방사균증과 관련된 기관기관지 1예를 경험하였다. 37세의 남자 환자는 재발성의 객혈을 호소하였고 당초 폐결핵으로 추정하여 항결핵제를 투여 받았으나 임상적으로나 방사선학적으로 호전을 보이지 않았다. 우상엽 폐절제술이 시행되었으며 조직학적 검사에서 폐 방사균증으로 화진되었다. 술 후 환자는 3개월간 penicillin과 ampicillin이 투여됐으며 6개월간의 추적기간 동안 재발을 나타내지 않고 완전히 회복되었다.

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is known as its relatively high cure rate after surgical treatment. But invasion of the trachea by thyroid carcinoma is poor prognostic factor and the best management is en bloc surgical resection of the tumor invading the trachea. A 55-year-old man was diagnosed as papillary thyroid cancer with tracheal invasion. We treated the patient by total thyroidectomy with window resection of invading trachea followed by immediate reconstruction with sternohyoid muscle flap and tracheostomy. At 48 days after surgery, tracheostoma was closed and the patient had no functional complication by the surgical process. Until 10 months after surgery, there was no sign of recurrence and the patient led social life without any discomfort. We present this case with a review of the related literatures.

Primary neoplasms of the trachea are rare, but are a very serious critical life-threatening disease. Nearly all the lesions of the trachea are presented as obstructive lesions. Bronchoscopic examination including chest C-T, tomogram and air tracheogram are essential for the further definition of these lesions. The need for removal of tracheal tumors whether complete or incomplete, is clear enough regardless of the histology of the tumor. We have experienced 9 cases from Jan. 1965 to June, 1985. One patient with tracheal hamartoma was cured with complete resection through rigid bronchoscopy and another patient with fibrous histiocytoma was treated with re-excision and laser evaporation through superior mediastinotomy due to recurrence, 1 year later. The remaining patients were treated with mass excision or segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis through collar incision and superior mediastinal sternotomy. The remaining two patients were operated with and segmental resection and end-to-end anastomosis of trachea using partial cardiopulmonary bypass. The histologic diagnosis were adenoid cystic Ca[5], fibrous histiocytoma[1], mucoepidermoid Ca[1]. hamartoma[1], anaplastic Ca.[1]. Three patients were treated post-operatively with radiation; with adenoid cystic Ca.[2] and anaplastic Ca.[1]. Their post-operative courses were uneventful during the follow-up from 2 months to 7 years.

Experimental tracheal ligation (TL) has been shown to reverse the pulmonary hypoplasia associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and to normalize gas exchange. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the TL would correct the surfactant deficiency present in the fetal rabbit model of CDH by using lamellar body count. Lamellar bodies are synthesized and secreted by the type II pneumocytes of fetal lung. The phospholipids present in these bodies constitute the major component of pulmonary surfactant. Twenty-one pregnant New Zealand rabbits underwent hysterotomy and fetal surgery on gestational day 24. Two fetuses of each pregnant rabbit were operated. In the fetus of one end of bicornuate uterus, left DH was created by excision of fetal diaphragm through open thoracotomy (DH Group). In the fetus of the other end of bicornuate uterus, left DH and TL were created (TL Group). The fetuses were delivered by Cesarean section on gestational day 31. Fourteen in control group, 12 in the DH group and 13 in TL group were born alive. En bloc excision of lungs, bronchi and trachea was done in all newborn rabbits. A five Fr catheter was inserted through trachea and repeated irrigations with 10 cc normal saline were done. The irrigated fluid was centrifuged at $280{\times}g$ for 5 minutes and the lamellar bodies were counted with the upper level fluid in platelet channel of electronic cell counter. The average lamellar body counts were $37.1{\pm}14.2{\times}10^3/{\mu}L$ in control group, $11.5{\pm}4.4 {\times}10^3/{\mu}L$ in DH group, and $6.5{\pm}0.9{\times}10^3/{\mu}L$ in TL group. Lamellar body count in DH group was lower than in control group and did not increase after TL. This study shows TL has no therapeutic effect on decreased surfactant level of CDH and the pregnant rabbit is appropriate for the animal model of CDH.

Despite of advances in perinatal management and treatment modalities congenital diaphragmatic hernia(CDH) remains a frustrating problem. Although the sheep has proven to be a reliable experimental model for the production of intrauterine CDH, the rabbit may have some advantages. These include lower cost, smaller body size, year-round availability, high number of fetuses per pregnancy, and short gestational period. To evaluate the feasibility of the rabbit model of CDH, twenty-seven pregnant New Zealand rabbits were utilized. Hysterotomy and an operative procedure for creating a diaphragmatic defect on gestational day 24 or 25, in two fetuses of each pregnant rabbit were performed. In one fetus of one cornu of the uterus, the left fetal diaphragm was excised through an open thoracotomy(DH group). In another fetus in the other cornu, CDH was created and the trachea clipped(Surgiclip, USSC, Norwalk, Conn., USA) (TL group). Delivery was by Cesarean section on 30 days of gestation. Among twenty- seven pregnant rabbits, 12 in the DH group and eight in the TL group were born alive. The most common herniated organ was the left lobe of the liver. In thee DH group, the lungs were hypoplastic with decreased lung weight/body weight ratio, reduced numbers of alveoli, thicker media of the pulmonary arteries, and immature alveoli. In TL group, the alveoli were more mature and did not differ from the control animals. In conclusion, (1) pulmonary hypoplasia develops in the fetal rabbit diaphragmatic hernia model and (2) simultaneous tracheal ligation prevents pulmonary hypoplasia.

We report a successful right,sleeve pneumonectomy using femoro-femoral bypass on a 26-year-old woman with severe carinal and lower tracheal stenosis of tuberculous origin. Omental graft on the anastomotic site was added, There was no specific postoperative complication and postoperative bleeding was minimal.

배경: 광범위한 기관의 병변시 이를 절제하고 기관을 대체시킬 수 있는 이상적인 대치물질로 현재 많이 연구되고 있는 기관의 초냉동보관 동종이식편의 상피세포 및 연골조직의 생육성 유지와 항원성의 변화를 토끼 기관을 이용하여 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: 토끼 45마리를 각각 15마리씩 3개의 군으로 나누어 1군은 자가 이식술을 시행하였고 2군은 초냉동보관하지 않은 동종이식편으로 기관 대치술을 시행하였으며 3군은 영하 196$^{\circ}C$에서 1달간 보관한 초냉동보관 동종이식편으로 경부기관 정위치에 이식수술을 시행하였다. 수술 후 7일, 14일, 30일 후에 각군 당 5마리씩 무작위로 선별하여 기관 이식편의 조직학적 검사를 시행하여 상피세포 및 연골조직의 생육성 및 거부반응 정도를 조사하였다. 결과: 상피세포 재생정도에 있어서 7일째에는 세 군간에 차이가 없었으나 14일과 30일에는 1군에서 2군과 3군에 비해 상피세포 재생정도가 좋았다. 2군과 3군에서는 차이가 없었다. 수술 후 7일째까지 거부반응은 2군과 3군 모두에서 거의 나타나지 않았으나 14일과 30일째에는 7일째에 비해 2군과 3군 모두에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 거부반응이 많이 나타났다(P<0.05). 3군에 있어서 2군에 비해 거부반응이 적었으나 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다. 모든 경우에 연골세포는 생육성을 유지하고 있었으며 거부반응도 없었다. 결론: 1달 동안 초냉동보관 된 기관의 동종이식편은 상피세포와 연골의 생육성을 유지할 수 있으며 이는 초냉동보관 기관 동종이식편이 기관 대체물질로 사용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 초냉동보관으로 항원성을 완전히 없앨 수는 없으며 따라서 거부반응을 더욱 더 줄일 수 있는 방법에 대한 연구가 계속되어야겠다.

Thymic cysts are uncommon tumors which usually occur in the neck and mediastinum. It is known to arise from embryonic remnants of the thymopharyngeal duct or from inflammation of thymic tissues. Patients with thymic cyst are often asymptomatic and identified after surgical removal and histologic examination. We experienced a 73 year-old man with recently developed dyspnea. During the examination, chest CT showed a $5\times6cm$ sized cystic mass causing deviation of the trachea. It was located in between the right thyroid gland and anterior mediastinum. It also caused tracheal narrowing noted by bronchoscopy. Right anterior cervical incision and removal of the mass was performed and a histological diagnosis of thymic cyst was confirmed. The patient was discharged without complication.
