Purpose: Thrombosis of the portal vein, known as pylephlebitis, is a rare and fatal complication caused by intraperitoneal infections. The disease progression of superior mesenteric venous thrombosis (SMVT) is not severe. This study aimed to determine the clinical features, etiology, and prognosis of SMVT. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 41 patients with SMVT from March 2000 to February 2017. We obtained a list of 305 patients through the International Classification of Disease-9 code system and selected 41 patients with SMVT with computed tomography. Data from the medical records included patient demographics, comorbidities, review of system, laboratory results, clinical courses, and treatment modalities. Results: The causes of SMVT were found to be intraperitoneal inflammation in 27 patients (65.9%), malignancy in 7 patients (17.1%), and unknown in 7 patients (17.1%). Among the patients with intraperitoneal inflammation, 14 presented with appendicitis (51.9%), 7 with diverticulitis (25.9%), and 2 with ileus (7.4%). When comparing patients with and without small bowel resection, the differences in symptom duration, bowel enhancement and blood culture were significant (P=0.010, P=0.039, and P=0.028, respectively). Conclusion: SMVT, caused by intraperitoneal inflammation, unlike portal vein thrombosis including pylephlebitis, shows mild prognosis. In addition, rapid symptom progression and positive blood culture can be the prognostic factors related to extensive bowel resection. Use of appropriate antibiotics and understanding of disease progression can help improve the outcomes of patients with SMVT.

목적: 고관절 주위 골절 환자에서 술 전 색 도플러 초음파 검사를 이용하여 심부 정맥 혈전증을 진단하고 그 발생 빈도를 알아 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2013년 6월부터 2014년 5월까지 본원에 내원한 고관절 주위 골절 환자 중 이전에 심부 정맥 혈전의 과거력이 없으며 술 전 색 도플러 초음파 검사에 동의한 환자 27예를 대상으로 하였으며 남자가 8예, 여자가 19예이었다. 평균 연령은 74.3세(41-87)였다. 고관절 주위 골절의 진단명은 대퇴 경부 골절 15예, 대퇴 전자간 골절 11예, 비구 골절이 1예였다. 모든 수술은 본원 내원 후 48시간 이내에 시행하는 것을 원칙으로 하였으며 내원 24시간 이내에 색 도플러 초음파 검사를 시행하였다. 결과: 심부 정맥 혈전은 총 6예(22.2%)에서 발견되었다. 이중 2예(7.4%)는 근위 심부 정맥 혈전이었고 4예(14.8%)는 원위 심부 정맥 혈전이었다. 심부 정맥 혈전 발생 군이 평균 79세(75-87), 발생하지 않은 환자 군이 평균 72세(65-86)로 유의하게 많았다(p=0.038). 결론: 고관절 주위 골절 환자에게 수술 이전 실시한 색 도플러 초음파 검사상 22.2%로 비교적 높은 빈도로 심부 정맥 혈전이 발견되었다. 고관절 주위 골절 환자에서 술 전 심부 정맥 혈전증에 대한 보다 적극적인 검사가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In order to investigate the effect of the Herba Segesbeckiae on the thrombosis induced by endotoxin in rats. The rats were treated with solid extract of Herba Siegesbeckiae 41.9mg /200g(Sample) which were administered orally. And the thrombosis was induced by injecting endotoxin in the caudal vein rats. And then the number of platelets, concentration of fibrinogen, prothrombin time and FDP(fibrinogen degradation product) were measured. The results were as follows; 1. Platelet was increased significantly in sample group compared with control group. 2. Prothrombin time was shortened significantly in sample group compared with control group. 3. Fibrinogen was increased significantly in sample group compared with control group. 4. FDP was decreased significantly in sample group compared with control group. According to the above results, Herba Siegesbeckiae had significant effects on number of Platelets, Prothrombin time, Fibrinogen and FDP. therefore, it is considered that Herba Siegesbeckiae can be applied to diseases related to thrombosis.

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors were specifically developed to reduce the risks of gastrointestinal bleeding associated with other NSAID drugs. However, the APPROVe (Adenomatous Polyp Prevention on VIOXX) trials revealed that rofecoxib sometimes exerts prothrombotic effects. Meanwhile, cancer patients, who also carry a risk of thrombosis due to a variety of mechanisms, are often treated with COX-2 selective inhibitors, due to their relative gastrointestinal safety. This report concerns the case of a 46-year old woman with advanced cervical cancer, who had been treated with opioids and a COX-2 selective inhibitor (celecoxib) for 2 months, for the relief of pain associated with her cancer. The patient was admitted due to swelling of the left leg, which was also accompanied by pain. A computerized tomography scan revealed deep vein thrombosis occurring in multiple veins of both legs. After the administration of low-molecular weight heparin and oral warfarin, the patient's symptoms were relieved initially. However, her prothrombin time was found to be prolonged, necessitating the discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy. The patient's dyspnea worsened, ultimately resulting in her death. In conclusion, the administration of cox-2 selective inhibitors should be carefully considered in patients with a number of different risk factors, and assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the effects of mechanical interventions for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis in surgical intensive care unit (SICU) patients. Methods: The participants were assigned to the intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and graduated compression stocking (GCS) intervention. Patients who met the criteria were selected for comparison from our previous study. Data for 140 patients were included in the final analysis. Results: The mean age was 57.5 (${\pm}15.7$) and 61.4 % were men. About forty-seven percent of the participants were 61 years or over. In the second duplex scan, 3, 2 and 1 critically ill patients developed deep vein thrombosis in the control, GCS, and IPC groups, respectively. Incidences of DVT were 6.0%, 5.0%, and 2.0% for the control, GCS, and IPC groups, respectively. This difference was not significant. Relative risks of no intervention were 3.0 and 1.2 compared with IPC and GCS application. There were no significantly different variables among the three groups before the intervention except for diagnosis on admission. Conclusion: Although it may difficult to conclude that mechanical prophylaxis effectively prevents DVT among SICU patients because there was no statistical significance in this study, but incidence rates among the three groups differed greatly. The findings reveal that further study should be conducted with larger samples and randomized controlled trial for SICU patients.

Lemierre syndrome is caused by an infection in the oropharyngeal region with subsequent thrombophlebitis in the internal jugular vein. The thrombus from the thrombophlebitis can invade other vital organs, such as liver, lungs, or joints, resulting in secondary infection, which further exacerbates the fatal prognosis of this syndrome. Lemierre syndrome, also called postanginal sepsis or necrobacillosis, was first reported by Dr. Lemierre in 1936. In his report, Lemierre mentioned that out of 20 patients who suffered from this syndrome, only two survived. He also stated that all of the 20 patients complained of infections in the palatine tonsils and developed sepsis and thrombophlebitis in the internal jugular vein. Once called a "forgotten disease," this syndrome showed a very high mortality rate until usage of antibiotics became prevalent. In this case report, the authors present a 71-year-old female patient who suffered from Lemierre syndrome with thrombosis extended to the right sigmoid sinus.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate the DVT-related knowledge and compliance of hospital nurses. Methods: A survey questionnaire was administrated to a convenience sample of 367 nurses working at 3 university hospitals and 4 general hospitals located in Busan. Results: The mean score of DVT-related knowledge was $16.86{\pm}$3.40$ points out of 26, with a percentage of correct answers of 64.8%. The mean score of DVT-related compliance was $21.40{\pm}6.42$ points out of 32. There was a significant correlation between hospital nurses' DVTrelated knowledge and compliance (r=.309, p=.000). The factors for predicting hospital nurses' DVT-related compliance included knowledge of treatment and care areas, the subcategories of DVT knowledge (${\beta}$=.214), knowledge of the area of risk factors (${\beta}$=.105), whether to perform DVT prevention and treatment based on protocols (${\beta}$=.193), the existence of DVT protocols (${\beta}$=.168) and the degree of interest in DVT (${\beta}$=.102) and the total explanatory power of these was 21.3%. Conclusion: To improve compliance on preventing DVT effectively, it is necessary to improve nurses' DVT-related knowledge and interest in DVT through appropriate education. And, it is necessary to develop standardized protocols and guidelines.
