배경: 최근 관상동맥우회술 및 말초 혈관 수술의 증가로 동종 이식편 혹은 합성 도관의 필요성이 제기되고 있으나, 만족스럽지 못한 장기 개존율로 널리 사용되지 못하고 있다. 최근 냉동보존된 동종 판막의 생육성 유지의 잠재력이 밝혀지면서, 냉장보존 및 냉동보존된 동종 동맥 혹은 정맥이식편의 실험적인 연구와 임상 적용이 시도되고 있다. 대상 및 방법 : $4^{\circ}C$ 냉장보존과 $-170^{\circ}C$ 냉동보존된 한국산 잡견의 대퇴 동맥 및 대복재 정맥을 수여견의 대퇴 동맥에 이식하여, 냉장보존 및 냉동보존된 동맥과 정맥의 개존율의 차이와 생육성에 따른 내피세포의 기능을 시간대별로 관찰하였다. 결과: RPMI-1640을 배양액으로 하는 3일간의 $4^{\circ}C$냉장보존법과 10% DMSO${\cdot}$RPMI-1640 을 배양액으로 하는 2주간의 $-170^{\circ}C$의 냉동보존법은 혈류량(개존율)(p=0.264), 혈전의 발생 정도(p=0.264)와 내피의 존재 정도(p=0.587), 트롬보모듈린(thrombomodulin) 면역조직화학 염색에도 차이가 없었다(p=0.657). 동맥 이식편과 정맥 이식편은 보존방법에 관계없이 동맥 이식편이 정맥 이식편보다 혈류가 좋았고(p=0.030), 혈전의 발생 정도가 낮았다(p=0.030). 혈전의 정도 및 내피의 존재 유무와 트롬보모듈린의 면역조직화학적 염색의 상관관계를 보았을 때, 혈전의 정도와 면역조직화학적 염색 정도와의 상관관계 계수는 0.654였으며(p=0.006), 내피의 존재와 면역조직화학적 염색 정도와의 상관관계 계수는 0.520 이었다.(p=0.0049). 이식편을 수여견에 이식 후 적출한 이식편을 기간별로 내피의 존재 여부와 면역조직화학적 염색 정도와의 상관관계를 살펴보면 2주일 전에는 상관관계가 없었으나(p=0.306), 1개윌 후에는 상관관계 계수가 0.931 이었다(p=0.0008). 결론: RPMI를 배양액으로 하는 3 일간의 $4^{\circ}C$냉장보존과 10% DMSO${\cdot}$RPMI-1640을 배양액으로 하는 2주간의 $-170^{\circ}C$의 냉동보존은 최소한 같은 정도의 생육성이 유지된 혈관 보존을 할 수 있었다. 보존방법에 관계없이 동맥 이식편은 정맥 이식편 보다 혈전의 발생률이 적었으며, 혈류량으로 평가한 개존율이 우수하였다. 트롬보모율련의 역할을 고려할 때, 이식 후 2주일 전에 적출된 이식편에는 내피가 존재하더라도 광학현미경상의 형태만 갖고 있고, 항응고 기능은 없었으나, 이식 후 1개월 이후에 적출된 이식편에서는 내피가 존재하는 경우 항응고 기능이 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

We present a case of a 57-year-old male patient who presented with squamous cell carcinoma on his mouth floor with cervical and mandibular metastases. Wide glossectomy with intergonial mandibular ostectomy, and sequential reconstruction using fibular osteomyocutaneous free flap were planned. When the anastomosis between the peroneal artery of the fibular free flap and the right lingual artery was performed, no venous flow was observed at the vena comitans. Then re-anastomosis followed by topical application of papaverine and lidocaine was attempted. However, the blood supply was not recovered. Warm saline irrigation over 30 minutes was also useless. Microvascular thromboses of donor vessels were clinically suspected, so a solution of 100,000 units of urokinase was infused once through a 26-gauge angiocatheter inserted into the recipient artery just at the arterial anastomotic site, until the solution gushed out through the flap vena comitans. Immediately after the application of urokinase, arterial flow and venous return were restored. There were no complications during the follow-up period of 11 months. We believe that vibrating injuries from the reciprocating saw during osteotomies and flap insetting might be the cause of microvascular thromboses. The use of urokinase may provide a viable option for the treatment of suspicious intraoperative arterial thrombosis.

In the present study, the characteristics of blood flow inside a carotid artery numerically investigated with shear rate specific blood viscosity. To simulate the blood flow with a patient-specific arterial geometry, the geometry of a carotid artery was constructed from 2D rain MRA data. The measured data of blood flow velocity at the common carotid artery were used as boundary conditions of the simulation. For the blood rheology data to be used in the simulation, the patient specific blood viscosity over the whole ranges of shear rate was obtained using $BioVisco^{TM}$. From the numerical results of the blood flow in the carotid artery, the increase of blood viscosity and the decrease of wall shear stress could be found in the carotid bifurcated region, more specifically at the post-plaque dilated region. These characteristics of blood viscosity and wall shear stress can be used more precisely and efficiently to predict the region vulnerable to plaque growht or thrombosis on top of the plaque.

Objective: To investigate the association between the change of IGF-2 level in serum after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression, especially in relation to metastasis. Methods: IGF-2 in serum was measured by quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assaybefore, 3 days and 4 weeks after TACE in 60 patients with HCC. The occurrence of HCC metastasis was also evaluated, 3 months after TACE. Results: (1) The average serum level of IGF-2 in the 60 patients with HCC was $136.5{\pm}87.3$ pg/ml; (2) A tendency for increase was observed with heterogenous uptake of octreotide and portal vein thrombosis. Metastatic foci were found in 37/38 patients in the group with IGF-2 increasing (97.0%), in contrast to 3/22 (13.6%) patients with IGF-2 decrease. Conclusion: The increase of IGF-2 level in serum appears to be associated with the occurrence of metastatic HCC after TACE and chemotherapy.

Arterial adventitial cystic disease is an uncommon type of non-atherosclerotic peripheral vessel disease. Most cases of arterial adventitial cystic disease occur in the popliteal arteries; however, fewer cases have been reported in the femoral arteries. A 59-year-old male patient visited the hospital with a complaint of a swelling on the lower extremity that had begun two months earlier. Suspecting deep vein thrombosis based on a physical examination and ultrasonography from another hospital, tests were performed. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed for exact diagnosis because venous adventitial cystic disease was suspected by computed tomography venography. The MRI indicated venous adventitial cystic disease as well. Thus, a cystic mass excision was performed. In the end, a cystic mass compressing the common femoral vein that originated from the common femoral artery was diagnosed based on the macroscopic findings. This case is reported because blood circulation in the vein was impeded due to arterial adventitial cystic disease, and the symptoms improved after the cystic mass excision and polytetrafluoroethylene roofing angioplasty.

Background: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by proliferation of one or more myeloid lineages. Polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) are classical Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative MPN that have a Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) mutation, especially JAK2V617F in the majority of patients. The major complications of Ph-negative MPNs are thrombosis, hemorrhage, and leukemic transformation. Objective: To study clinical manifestations including symptoms, signs, laboratory findings, and JAK2V617F mutations of Ph-negative MPN (PV, ET and PMF) as well as their complications. Materials and Methods: All Ph-negative MPN (PV, ET and PMF) patients who attended the Hematology Clinic at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital from January, 1 2003 through December, 31 2013 were retrospectively reviewed for demographic data, clinical characteristics, complete blood count, JAK2V617F mutation analysis, treatment, and complications. Results: One hundred and fifty seven patients were included in the study. They were classified as PV, ET and PMF for 68, 83 and 6 with median ages of 60, 61, and 68 years, respectively. JAK2V617F mutations were detected in 88%, 69%, and 100% of PV, ET and PMF patients. PV had the highest incidence of thrombosis (PV 29%, ET 14%, and PMF 0%) that occurred in both arterial and venous sites whereas PMF had the highest incidence of bleeding (PMF 17%, ET 11%, and PV 7%). During follow up, there was one ET patient that transformed to acute leukemia and five cases that developed thrombosis (three ET and two PV patients). No secondary myelofibrosis and death cases were encountered. Conclusions: Ph-negative MPNs have various clinical manifestations. JAK2V617F mutations are present in the majority of PV, ET, and PMF patients. This study confirmed that thrombosis and bleeding are the most significant complications in patients with Ph-negative MPN.

Transcranial Doppler(TCD) is an important diagnostic tool for evaluating the patients with stroke. It has some advantages and unique role when compared with other neuroimaging modalities. Recent development of transcranial color-coded Doppler(TCD) improves the limitation and pitfalls of TCD. The current indications of TCD are as follows: 1. Screening and evaluation of the intracranial major vessels 2. early detection and follow-up of vasospasm due to SAH 3. emboli detection (high-imtensity transient signals, HITs) 4. dignosis and follow-up of subclavian steal 5. evaluation of intracranial collaterals when the extracranial ICA has severe stenosis or occlusion 6. evaluation of cerebral perfusion pressure (intracranial pressure) 7. evaluation of arteriovenous malformation 8. diagnosis and follow-up of arterial dissenction 9. diagnosis and follow-up of venous sinus thrombosis (experimental).

The oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) has been reported to originate along the gulf of the guinea in West Africa. The various parts of the tree have been used locally and traditionally for various medicinal purposes. Some of these uses have been proved by scientific experiments. Palm oil is extracted from the mesocarp of the fruit and is used traditionally for the treatment of headaches, pains, rheumatism, cardiovascular diseases, arterial thrombosis and an atherosclerosis due to its rich phytonutrients. The leaves are also used for the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases and wound healing. The sap also has been found to be rich in phytonutrients that can be used to treat various diseases. This review therefore seeks to explore many of the uses of the oil palm using the various parts of the oil palm.
