배 경 : 환자에서 동맥혈 저산소증이 생길 수 있다는 보고가 있는데 기관지혈관 확장에 의해서 확산 장애에 의해 동맥혈 산소분압이 감소한다고 한다. Cabanes 등은 좌심실부전 환자에서 메타콜린에 기관지 반응이 증가함을 보고하면서 기관지혈관 확장이 한 기전이라고 주장하였다. 이에 저자들은 간경변증 환자에서 문맥고혈압에 의하여 메타콜린에 대한 기관지반응이 증가할 것이라는 가설하에 간경변증 환자에서 기관지수 축유발검사를 시행하고, 간경변증정도 및 식도 정맥류 정도와의 기관지반응과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 임상적 문맥고혈압을 가진 간경변증 환자 22명에게 메타콜린 기관지수축유발검사를 시행하였고 또한 간경변 정도를 Pugh-Child 분류법에 따라 분류하고 식도내시경 검사를 시행하였다. 성적 : 총 22명의 임상적으로 문맥고혈압을 가진 간경변증 환자중 남자는 17명, 여자는 5명이었고, 연령분포는 19세에서68세 까지이며 평균연령은 48세였으며, 간경변증 원인은 알콜성 간염에 의한 경우가 9예, B형 바이러스성 간염에 의 한것이 12예였고 C형 바이러스성 간염에 의한것이 1예였다. 22명의 환자중 15예(68.2%)가 메타콜린 기관지 수축유발검사 양성이였고, 양성인 환자 15명의 $PC_{20}$은 $0.3mg/m{\ell}$에서 $16.6mg/m{\ell}$로 다양하였으며 평균값은 $6.5{\pm}5.1mg/m{\ell}$ 이다. 메타콜린 기관지 수축유발검사 $PC_{20}FEV_1$값과 Pugh-Child 분류법에 의한 간경변의 정도 사이에는 통계학적으로 상관관계가 없었다(p>0.05). 메타콜린 기관지 수축유발검사 $PC_{20}FEV_1$ 값과 식도 내시경상 식도정맥류의 심한 정도 사이에도 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 없었다(p>0.05). 결 론 : 이상의 결과에서 간경변증 환자에게서 메타콜린 기관지 반응이 증가(68.2%)함을 수 있었고 간경변증 정도나 식도정맥류 정도 사이에는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다.

Nontraumatic intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) attributable to the thoracolumbar dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) has been extremely rare. A 41-year-old male patient was admitted with severe acute headache, neck stiffness, and pronounced low-back pain radiating to both legs. The T2-weighted MR imaging showed irregular signal void and enlarged, varix like pouch formation with spinal cord compression at the T11-12 level. The angiogram revealed a DAVF. We report a DAVF case with SAH that revealed an extensive infarction from C5 to the conus medullaris after undergoing operative treatment.

The authors have performed operations on vascular system of 108 cases from 1972 through 1979, and analyzed the diseases, surgical procedures and results. They were 1. Arterial system; 45 cases P.D.A. : 20 Occlusive diseases : 13 Coarctation of aorta : 4 Aneurysm : 4 A-V fistula : 2 Trauma : 2 2. Venous system; 6 cases Esophageal varix : 4 S.V.C. syndrome : 1 Varicose vein : 1 3. Arteriovenous shunt for hemodialysis; 57 cases Of the arterial diseases, the worst results came from Burger`s disease. For the bleeding esophageal varices, we have performed ligations of varices or collateral circulations rather than emergency splenorenal shunt with good results. External A-V shunt for hemodialysis had much more complications than the A-V fistula.

A 36-year-old man presented to the hospital with protruding blood vessels in his left lower leg accompanied by cramping. An ultrasonographic examination of the leg revealed focal reflux without truncal vein reflux. During phlebectomy, the varix was found to be connected to the intraosseous vein through a tibial opening. Postoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed an osteolytic lesion in the tibial shaft and an intraosseous vascular anomaly. The patient was discharged without complications and scheduled for periodic follow-ups. This young man's varicose vein seemed to be from a tibial intraosseous vascular anomaly, which is extremely rare.

Spontaneous hemothorax is rare, with limited data available on its etiology and treatment. We report a case of massive spontaneous hemothorax with a ruptured variceal phrenic vein during pregnancy, likely a complication of the Kasai procedure. Despite closed thoracostomy, the patient's symptoms and imaging findings did not improve. Emergent open thoracotomy and bleeding control were performed.

Since tuberculosis was a common pulmonary disease in Korea, Aspergillosis was easily misdiagnosed as tuberculosis and an acute form of Aspergillosis was misinterpreted as pneumonia because of their similarities in the X-ray findings. This investigation is designed to illustrate the clinical features and preoperative diagnosis and surgical role in the management of this disease. In a retrospective review of operative cases from Jan. 1963 through Dec. 1983, 36 cases were analyzed. Peak age incidence lies in the 3rd decade [41.7%]. All cases had a history of treatment with antituberculous drugs under diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and the most common chief complaint was hemoptysis [69.5%]. Only nine cases [25%] showed cavitary lesions with mycetoma and preoperative sputum study for fungus showed low positive valve [42.3%]. Anatomical location of lesion was located mainly upper lobe [66.7%] and most of cases were managed by lobectomy. We experienced 7 cases of complication; they were postoperative empyema, hepatic failure, esophageal varix bleeding. Postoperative pathologic findings showed that 29 cases [80.5%] were combined with tuberculosis 3 cases were combined with bronchiectasis and 4 cases were not combined with other disease. In conclusion, when the patient has a longstanding history of pulmonary tuberculosis and has a hemoptysis, he must be suspected fungus super infection. Resectional surgery is the treatment of choice for symptomatic localized disease and needed resection in asymptomatic patient to prevent possible fatal sequelae in the future.

Objective : The authors reviewed 280 cases with intracranial arteriovenous malformations(AVMs) to identify risk factors of hemorrhage. Patients and Methods : From 1983 to 1997, a total 280 patients with AVMs were treated. Among them, 64% had a history of hemorrhage. Angiograms were retrospectively analyzed with particular attention to the size of the AVM, venous drainage, the location of the AVM and presence of associated aneurysm or varix. These characteristics were statistically analysed in relation to occurrence of hemorrhage. Results : A single variate analysis demonstrated that small size(p=0.0003), deep venous drainage(p=0.025) and periventricular location(p<0.0001) had a strong positive correlation. Associated aneurysms and varices were not found as hemorrhagic risk factors. A multivariate analysis revealed that the size of the AVM was most significant hemorrhagic factor(p=0.0003) followed by deep venous drainage(p=0.025). AVMs with small size and deep venous drainage bled more frequently regardless of their locations. Conclusion : These data would be useful in identifying patients at higher risk for developing hemorrhage of intracranial AVMs.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the type and frequency of end colostomy-related complications and to identify the risk factors for those complications. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records was made in 708 patients who underwent end colostomy in Samsung Medical Center between October 1994 and February 2005. The type was divided into stomal and peristomal complications: stomal complications included bleeding, necrosis, mucocutaneous separation, prolapsed stoma, retraced stoma, stenosis, and hyperplasia; peristomal complications did peristomal varix, peristomal hernia, irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration, folliculitis, hyperplasia, bacterial infection, candidal infection, malignancy in the peristomal area, mechanical damage and pyoderma gangrenosum. Results: For stomal complications, hyperplasia was most common(9.0%). For peristomal complications, irritant contact dermatitis was developed in 17.4%. Sex and BMI were risk factors for irritant contact dermatitis, hyperplasia, peristomal hernia, flat stoma, and retracted stoma. Conclusion: Teaching for preventing irritant contact dermatitis such as proper pouching and peristomal skin protection, and for comprehensive weight control should be emphasized on self care program for ostomates, while ostomy care nurse should take a careful consideration of preoperative ostomy site marking in female obese patients.

Idiopathic non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH) is a disease with an uncertain etiology consisting of non-cirrhotic portal hypertension and portal pressure increase in the absence of liver cirrhosis. In INCPH, patients exhibit normal liver functions and structures. The factors associated with INCPH include the following: Umbilical/portal pyremia, bacterial diseases, prothrombic states, chronic exposure to arsenic, vinyl chloride monomers, genetic disorders, and autoimmune diseases. Approximately 70% of patients present a history of major variceal bleeding, and treatment relies on the prevention of complications related to portal hypertension. Autoimmune disorders associated with INCPH are mainly systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis. To the best of our knowledge, a case of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) associated with INCPH has not been reported thus far. Therfore, we report our experience of a patient with AS accompanied by INCPH, who showed perisplenic varices with patent spleno-portal axis and hepatic veins along with no evidence of cirrhosis on liver biopsy, and provide a brief literature review.
