Forty three patients with disease of the aorta were admitted in this department during the period from beginning of 1956 to the end of 1976. They consisted of eighteen cases of aortic aneurysms, eight cases of Takayasu's arteritis, eight Leriche syndromes, six dissecting aneurysms, two aortic coarctations and one case of vascular ring. Of eighteen aortic aneurysms, twelve were operated resulting in eight survivors. Three of four mortalities were in shock preoperatively because of aneurysmal rupture. Among six dissecting aortic aneurysms, four were type III and two were type I according to DeBakey's classification. For the purpose of relief of acute arterial insufficiency in the lower extremities, a re-entry operation grafting a Y-shaped dacron vessel between abdominal aorta and common iliac arteries was performed. The patient regained consciousness soon after the operation and was well until postoperative second day, when severe convulsion developed abruptly and died. And in a chronic case of type III dissecting aneurysm, a dacron graft bypass shunt between ascending aorta and lower descending thoracic aorta with resection of the aneurysm was performed, but acute severe aortic insufficiency developed soon after the operation and fell into intractable heart failure resulting in death. The cause of the aortic insufficiency seems to be retrograde dissection from the proximal anastomosis site in the ascending aorta. Three cases were treated medically with Wheat's regimen. Two of them survived with relief of symptoms. Eight patients of Takayasu's arteritis were all females and aged between twenty and forty-four averaging twenty nine. Bypass graft operation between aortic arch and carotid arteries using Y-shaped nylon prostheses were performed in three patients resulting in death in two cases postoperatively due to severe cerebral arterial insufficiency during the procedure. All the patients with Leriche syndrome were males and over forty. In two cases, bypass graft with Y-shaped dacron vessel between terminal aorta and common iliac or femoral arteries were performed with good result. Thromboembolectomy or thromboendarterectomy was employed in three patients, of whom one was aggravated in sexual problem postoperatively. One out of two aortic coarctations and a vascular ring were treated surgically with excellent results.

Purpose: To present our experience and design modification of an anterolateral thigh flap in soft tissue reconstruction. Materials and Methods: Between April of 2004 and May of 2005, 26 anterolateral thigh flaps were used in 26 patients. There were 22 males and 4 females between 23 and 60 years (mean, 40years). The mean follow-up period was 11($4{\sim}18$) months. All cases were a cutaneous flap. Twenty-two were musculocutaneous perforator flaps(85%) and 4 were septocutaneous perforator flaps(15%). Four flaps were used as a sensate flap. While the donor sites were closed directly in 14 cases(54%), 12 cases(46%) underwent skin grafting of the donor site. During the flap design, a triangular skin design was added to a vascular anastomosis site in 14(54%) patients and used as a roof of the tunnel. The healing period of the skin graft between those performed above the fascia and above the muscle were compared. Results: The average size of the flaps was $16{\times}9(11-20{\times}7-12)\;cm$. The overall flap success rate was 96%. Complications encountered were infection in 4 cases, and marginal skin necrosis in 1 case. The healing period was delayed with the infection in 3 of the 6 cases involving a skin graft over the fascia. All 14 cases with the triangular skin design survived, but there was 1 flap failure and 1 marginal necrosis in 12 cases without a triangular skin design. Conclusions: It may be better to undergo a skin graft above the muscle than above the fascia in covering a donor site defect, and to use a triangular skin design in order to prevent vascular insufficiency. An anterolateral thigh flap is a versatile flap for a soft tissue reconstruction because its thickness and volume can be adjusted to the extent of the defect with minimal donor site morbidity.

Because failure of microvascular flap grafting has sometimes been attributed to vascular obstruction in the anastomotic site, this study investigated the healing process after microvascular anastomoses. The healing process of anastomotic sites were observed by the use of the light and the scanning electron microscope after microvascular anastomoses of the right common carotid artery in rats. The experimental animals were sacrificed on the 4th day, 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th week. Throughout the whole experimental period, arterial patency rate was 78% (11/14). At the early stage, it was possible to recognize histologically disappearance of endothelial cell and rupture of part of the media. Subintimal hyperplasia and the growth of media appeared around the suture line at the 2nd week. Endothelial cell regeneration occurred and the depth of vessel wall was normalized at the 4th week. By the scanning electron microscope, at the early stage, the anastomotic site was covered with many platelets, red blood cells, fibrins and macrophages. At the 4th week, the insertion site of the thread was completely covered with normal endothelial cells which were parallel to longitudinal axis of vessels and complete reendothelialization over the anastomotic site seemed to take about 6th week.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a long lasting autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints, and patients with rheumatoid arthritis are predisposed to development of chronic skin ulcers. In addition, skin ulcers with rheumatoid arthritis tend to persist despite treatment because of sustained inflammation and poor healing capacity. Treatment of skin ulcers involves medications, wound coating agents, and surgical procedures including skin grafting, however, wound dressing or skin grafts are generally excluded because of excessive cost and time and poor intake rate. The dorsal metacarpal artery perforator (DMAP) flap, a vascular island flap for coverage of soft tissue defects on the fingers, provides promising results including matched quality and color. We experienced a case of DMAP flap for reconstruction of a rheumatoid ulcer, and a DMAP flap may be considered as a good faithful option for treatment of patients with rheumatoid ulcer.

Blunt abdominal trauma may cause peripheral vascular injuries. However, blunt abdominal trauma rarely results in injuries to the external iliac and common femoral arteries, which often stem from regional bone fractures. Here, we present the case of a patient who had experienced trauma in the lower abdominal and groin area three months before presenting to the hospital, but these injuries did not involve bone fractures and had been managed conservatively. The patient came to the hospital because of left lower leg claudication that gradually became severe. Computed tomography angiography confirmed total occlusion of the external iliac and common femoral arteries. The patient underwent femorofemoral bypass grafting and was discharged uneventfully.

We present a case of a near total amputation at the distal tibial level, in which the patient emphatically wanted to save the leg. The anterior and posterior tibial nerves were intact, indicating a high possibility of sensory recovery after revascularization. The patient had open fractures at the tibia and fibula, but no bone shortening was performed. The posterior tibial vessels were reconstructed with an interposition saphenous vein graft from the contralateral side and a usable anterior tibial artery graft from the undamaged ipsilateral distal portions. The skin and soft tissue defects were covered using a subatmospheric pressure system for demarcating the wound, and a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous free flap for definite coverage of the wound. At 6 months after surgery, the patient was ambulatory without requiring additional procedures. Replantation without bone shortening, with use of vessel grafts and temporary coverage of the wound with subatmospheric pressure dressings before definite coverage, can shorten recovery time.

본 연구는 대목과 접수의 결합 단계에서 나타나는 스트레스를 오이접목묘의 엽록소형광반응, 엽록소함량, 활착 및 생장 특성 측면에서 분석하고자 수행되었다. 이를 위해서 활착실 내의 광합성유효광양자속은 25, 50, 100, $150{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$의 4수준으로 설정되었고, 기온, 상대습도 및 LED 램프의 광주기는 각각 $25^{\circ}C$, 90%, $16h{\cdot}d^{-1}$이었다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 대목의 최대양자수율은 0.84-0.85로서 광량에 따른 분명한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 한편, 접수의 최대양자수율은 접목 후 2일째에 0.81-0.82로 낮게 나타났으나, 3일째부터 광량이 높을수록 접수의 최대양자수율이 증가하였다. 활착 후 4일째에 측정된 접수의 엽록소함량은 광량이 증가할수록 높게 나타났다. 오이접목묘의 활착율은 광량이 $100{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 이하일 때 90-95% 정도로 높게 나타났으나, $150{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$의 처리구에서는 80% 정도로 저하되었다. 광주기에 따라 다르나, 오이접목묘의 활착에 적합한 한계 광량은 플러그 트레이 표면에 조사된 광량을 기준으로 $100{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 정도이다. 본 연구에서 처리된 광강도 하에서 활착된 오이접목묘의 발근에 최소 2일이 소요되었고, 이 기간에 접수의 최대양자수율은 최저치로 나타났다. 활착 단계에서 조사되는 광량에 따라 대목과 접수의 변이형광과 최대양자수율이 다르게 나타났다. 그러므로 접목묘의 활착 단계에서 나타나는 스트레스를 줄이면서 대목의 발근을 촉진하고, 접수의 최대 양자수율이 급격하게 저하되는 것을 방지하려면 광 및 습도 등의 물리적 환경이 정확하게 제어되어야 한다. 향후 접목묘의 활착 단계에서 대목의 발근, 통도조직의 결합 상태, 수분의 이동에 따른 엽록소함량 변화를 정량적으로 구명할 필요가 있다.
