  • Endobronchial tuberculosis is a serious disase because it frequently leaves airway obstruction as the complication, and the treatment of airway obstruction is generally troublesome. In the tumorous type of endobonchial tuberculosis, the bronchial patency is partially or completely compromised with lymph node contents when the necrotic focus of the lymph node ruptures into the bronchial lumen to form a bronchoglandular fistula. To investigate the transition of endobronchial lesion and to evaluate the therapeutic role of bronchoscopic electrocautery in the tumorous type of endobronchial tuberculosis, we performed electrocautery in addition to the combination chemotherapy with steroid and anti-tuberculous drugs in two cases which had airway obstruction proximal to lobar bronchus with the impairment of pulmonary function. We also treated another two cases only with chemotherapy and we have followed up four cases over a 36-month period. In cases that bronchoscopic electrocautery was done, the bronchial patency was completely restored and the impairment of pulmonary function disappeared just after cautery and these effects have remained for 12 months or more. But in cases of medical treatment only, bronchial stenosis was inevitable as the tumorous type of endobronchial tuberculosis changed to the stenotic type with fibrosis. It can be concluded that bronchoscopic electrocautery can nip the occurence of bronchial stenosis in the bud when it is applied in addition to combination chemotherapy with steroid and antituberculous drugs in the tumorous type of endobronchial tuberculosis.

  • Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airway that comprises a variety of etiologies and inflammatory phenotypes. Clinically, there is a wide range of patients with varying severities and responses to individual drugs. The introduction of inhaled corticosteroid therapy has dramatically changed the treatment of asthma. Recent development of new therapies suggests the possibility of another breakthrough. These can be categorized as follows: anti-cytokine therapies that usually target eosinophilic inflammation, sublingual immunotherapy, and bronchial thermoplasty. In this paper, we will review the major articles related to asthma treatment that were published in 2013.

  • The immune staus is known to be decreased in malignant disease and radiation therapy (RT), used as a therapeutic tool, further decrease this-attenuated immune status. We measured the number of peripheral lymphocytes, its subsets and lymphoblast transformation for PPD, PHA, monoclonal antibodies including anti-CD3 and anti-CD2 before and after RT in 19 patients with squamous cell lung cancer to search the fine mechanism behind the RT-induced attenuation of lymphoblast transformtion for mitogens and antigen. The results were as follows; 1) The number of lymphocytes and its subsets decreased significantly after RT, but the percentages of lymhocyte subsets did not change aftr RT except interleukin-2 receptor positive T lymphocytes. 2) The function of lymphoctes, measured by lymphoblast tranformation for PHA and PPD, decrased after RT and the compositions of PBMC used for lymphoblast transformtion were not different before and after RT. 3) The mitosis of lymphocytes to anti-CD2 or anti-CD3 decreased significantly after RT. And IL-2 plus anti-CD3 increased the mitosis than that of anti-CD3 only after RT, but before RT there was no difference. In conclusion, we suggested the fine mechanism behind the RT-induced attenuation of immune response might be the dysfunction of lymphocytes in terms of impaired synthesis of IL-2 rather than the decrease of circulating lymphocyte numbers.

  • 연구배경 : 결핵은 우리나라에서 아직도 흔하게 발생하는 질환으로 세포면역반응에 의해 육아종이 형성되며, 이 과정에서 대식세포가 분비하는 tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$), Th1 세포가 생성하는 gamma-Interferon (INF-$\gamma$), 내피 세포가 표현하는 intercelluar adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)이 중요한 역할을 할 것이라고 생각되었다. 방 법 : 저자들은 결핵의 경중(輕重)과 이러한 물질들이 관련이 있는가를 알아보기 위하여, 환자의 혈액을 채취하여 TNF-$\alpha$, INF-$\gamma$를 radioimmuno assay(RIA)로, ICAM-1이 혈액으로 유리된 형태인 sICAM-1을 enzyme linked immunosolvent assay(ELISA)로 각각 측정하였다. 또한 화학 요법에 따른 변화를 알기 위해 치료 시작후 6개월 시점에서 다시 추적검사를 실시하였다. 결 과 : TNF-$\alpha$, INF-$\gamma$, sICAM-1은 중등증과 중증의 결핵에서는 의미 있게 증가하였고, 경증에서는 의의가 없었다. 6개월간의 항결핵 치료후, sICAM-1은 임상경과에 동반하여 의미있는 감소를 보였지만. TNF-$\alpha$, INF-$\gamma$에서는 감소는 있었지만 의의는 없었다. 결 론 : 본 실험 결과 결핵의 세포 면역 매개과정에는 TNF-$\alpha$와 INF-$\gamma$가 매우 중요한 역할을 하며, 그 반응 정도가 질병의 병기에 따라 심할수록 많이 증가함을 관찰하였다. ICAM-1은 TNF-$\alpha$와 INF-$\gamma$ 농도와 비례하여 sICAM-1이 증가하였고, 질병의 병기에 따라 농도의 차이가 있을뿐 아니라, 치료경과에 비례하여 농도변화를 보여, 질병의 할동성을 나타내는 것 외에 치료 경과를 나타내는 지시자로서의 가능이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • 연구배경: 결핵감염시 세포매개성 면역반응이 관여하여 말초혈액내 조력 T 세포가 감소하는 것으로 알려저왔다. 그러나 말초혈액내 표지물질을 가진 세포의 수적 감소가 세포매개성 면연반응의 저하라고 할 수있지 여부가 앞으로 해결해야 될 문제인 것으로 지적되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 폐결핵 환자들의 말초혈액에서 활성화된, 또는 활성화 되고 있은 세포의 수적변화를 관찰하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 객담 결핵균 양성인 폐결핵 환자 22명을 대상으로 말초혈액에서 IL-2R, VLA-1, TLiSAI의 활성화 표지에 대한 단세포군 항체를 면역조직 화학법으로 측정하였다. 결과: 1) 폐결핵 환자의 말포혈액에서 $T_1$(+) 세포 및 그 아형들의 단위 부피당 절대수는 $T_4$(+) 세포는 유의하게 감소하였고 $T_8$(+) 세포는 증가하였다(p<0.05). 2) 폐결핵 환자에서 전체 T임파구의 비율은 감소되어 있으며 $T_4$(+) 세포, $T_8$(+) 세포비율은 각각 유의하게 감소, 증가하였다. 또한 $T_4(+)/T_8(+)$ 비율도 유의한 감소가 있었다(p<0.05). 3) 폐결핵 환자에서 activated T cell의 단위 부피당 절대수는 대조군에 비해 모두 유의한 증가를 보였다(p<0.05). 4) 폐결핵 환자에서 activated T cell 비율은, IL-2R, VLA-1, TLiSAI, 각각 6.45+1.56%, 7.64+1.34%, 10.45+1.16%로 모두 대조군에 비해 모두 유의한 증가를 보이며 특히 TLiSAI 항체가 가장 많이 관찰 되었다. 결론: 폐결핵 감염시 말초혈액 임파구의 일부만이 활성화되어 세포매개성 면역반응에 참여하는 것으로 사료된다.

  • 성인에서 양성 원인에 의한 기관지식도루는 드물며 활동성 결핵이 원인 중 하나로 보고 되었지만 본 증례와 같이 결핵 후유증으로 장기간에 걸쳐서 발생할 수도 있고 만성 흡인과 기침 및 객혈의 원인이 될 수 있으며 활동성 폐결핵으로 오인될 수 있으므로 임상의사들의 주의가 필요하다.

  • 국내에서는 아직도 소아연령에서 결핵 감염이 적지 않게 존재하기 때문에 폐외 결핵 환자가 발생될 위험도 지속적으로 존재한다. 이런 측면에서 폐외 결핵의 하나인 골관절 결핵은 매우 드물기는 하나, 관절염을 주소로 내원한 환자의 원인으로 고려해 볼만하다. 나이 어린 소아에서는 증상과 징후가 비특이적이기 때문에 오진이나 진단 지연이 우려되므로, 항생제 치료에 잘 반응하지 않는 관절염 환자에서는 결핵성 골관절염에 대한 진단과 치료를 시도하는 것이 중요하다.

  • Poncet's disease is an aseptic polyarthritis developing in the presence of active Tuberculosis occurring elsewhere, and is not due to direct involvement of joints but to an immunological reaction to tuberculoprotein. We experienced a case of Poncet's disease accompanying erythema nodosum in a 55-year-old female patient with pulmonary tuberculosis. She had multiple tender erythematous nodules on both lower limbs for 3 months and a cough and sputum from one month ago. She felt severe pain in both knees and ankles with swelling one week before admission. Her chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan and positive sputum AFB stain results revealed that she had active pulmonary tuberculosis accompanying erythema nodosum and aseptic polyarthritis. Her arthritis and erythema nodosum were dramatically improved within four weeks after anti-tuberculosis therapy. We report a case of Poncet's disease in pulmonary tuberculosis accompanying erythema nodosum.

  • Dynamic X-ray (DXR) is a functional imaging technique that uses sequential images obtained by a flat-panel detector (FPD). This article aims to describe the mechanism of DXR and the analysis methods used as well as review the clinical evidence for its use. DXR analyzes dynamic changes on the basis of X-ray translucency and can be used for analysis of diaphragmatic kinetics, ventilation, and lung perfusion. It offers many advantages such as a high temporal resolution and flexibility in body positioning. Many clinical studies have reported the feasibility of DXR and its characteristic findings in pulmonary diseases. DXR may serve as an alternative to pulmonary function tests in patients requiring contact inhibition, including patients with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 or other infectious diseases. Thus, DXR has a great potential to play an important role in the clinical setting. Further investigations are needed to utilize DXR more effectively and to establish it as a valuable diagnostic tool.
