Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the knowledge and perceptions of Malaysian tradition healers towards cancer and cancer prevention. Methodology: A total of 25 participants agreed to participate in this qualitative study during the period from $20^{th}$ July 2011 until $24^{th}$ of September 2011. The proposal of this study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Management and Science University (MSU). Once the participant agreed to be interviewed, date, time and place of the interviews were determined. Consent form was obtained from participants before the interview began. Participants were briefed about the study and its purpose, and after asking their permissions, their replies were recorded. The data was organized into themes and analyzed manually. Results: Twenty-five Malaysian traditional healers participated in this qualitative study. The age of participants ranged between 26 to 78 years old. The majority were in the age group of 31-60 years old, male, Chinese, degree holders with a monthly income ranging from 1,000-5,000 Ringgit Malaysia (RM) and were married (56%, 80%, 48%, 52%, 68%, 84% respectively). The majority defined cancer as having high cholesterol or abscess accumulation. A few of them defined cancer as a type of cell growth. The majority mentioned that food and unhealthy lifestyles are the primary causes of cancer. Surprisingly some of them mentioned that cancer is caused by interference by ghosts. Regarding the diagnosis of cancer, the majority mentioned that they refer their patients to modern physicians' medical report when it comes to diagnosing or treating patients with cancer. The most common cancers that many patients came to seek treatment were breast cancers, followed by colon cancers, liver and lung cancers. Conclusions: Despite good knowledgeabout the causes of cancer among traditional healers, misconceptions still exist. Insufficient knowledge about the definition of cancer was noted among the traditional healers. This urges immediate action by the Ministry of Health of Malaysia to set up a strict regulation and regular monitoring of the traditional healers nationally. Traditional and Complementary Medicine may be integrated into the healthcare system and need to have sustained cooperation for the benefit of patients since about 80% of patients use traditional medicines.

Purpose: Severe pancreaticoduodenal injuries are relatively uncommon, but may result in high morbidity and mortality, especially when management is not optimal, and determining the appropriate treatment is often difficult. The objective of this study was to review our experience and to evaluate the role of a pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in treatment of pancreaticoduodenal injuries. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 16 patients who underwent an emergency PD at our hospital for severe pancreaticoduodenal injury from 1990 to 2011. Demographic data, clinical manifestations, mechanism and severity of the injury, associated injuries, postoperative complications and outcomes were reviewed. Results: The mean age of the 16 patients was $45{\pm}12years$ ($mean{\pm}standard$ deviation), and 15(93.8%) patients were male. All patients underwent an explorative laparotomy after a diagnosis using abdominal computed tomography. Almost all patients were classified as AAST grade higher than III. Thirteen(83.3%) of the 16 patients presented with blunt injuries; none presented with a penetrating injury. Only one(6.3%) patients had a combined major vascular injury. Fifteen patients underwent a standard Whipple's operation, and 1 patient underwent a pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy. Two of the 16 patients required an initial damage-control procedure; then, a PD was performed. The most common associated injured organs were the small bowel mesentery(12, 75%) and the liver(7, 43.8%). Complications were intraabdominal abscess(50%), delayed gastric emptying(37.5%), postoperative pancreatic fistula(31.5%), and postoperative hemorrhage (12.5%). No mortalities occurred after the PD. Conclusion: Although the postoperative morbidity rate is relatively higher, an emergency PD can be perform safely without mortality for severe pancreaticoduodenal injuries. Therefore, an emergency PD should be considered as a life-saving procedure applicable to patients with unreconstructable pancreaticoduodenal injuries, provided that is performed by an experienced hepatobiliary surgeon and the patient is hemodynamically stable.

Inflammation scan using radiolabelled leukocytes has high sensitivity and specificity. Several methods for labelling leukocytes have been evaluated using P-32 diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP-32), H-3 thymidine, Cr-51 chromate, Ga-67 citrate and Tc-99m-sulfur colloid. In-111-oxine has proved so far to be the most reliable agent for labelling leukocytes. In-111-oxine is, however, expensive, not easily available when needed, and its radiation dose to leukocytes is relatively high. Moreover, resolution of the resultant image is relatively poor. Tc-99m is still the agent of choice because of, as compared with the indium, its favorable physical characteristics, lower cost and availability. Now the technique for labelling the leukocytes with technetium is successfully obtained using the lipophilic HAPAO with higher efficiency for granulocytes than for other cells. With this technique it is possible to label leukocytes in plasma to improve the viability of the leukocytes. Inflammation scan using Tc-99m-HMPAO has been evaluated in several laboratories, and difference in methods for separation and labelling accounts for difference in efficiency, viability and biodistribution of the labelled leukocytes. We performed inflammation scan using leukocytes labelled with Tc-99m-HMPAO in three dogs 24 hours after inoculation of live E. Coli and A. Aureus in their right abdominal wall. We separated mixed leukocytes by simple sedimentation using 6% hetastarch (HES) and labelled the leukocytes with Tc-99m-HMPAO in 20% cell free plama diluted with phosphate buffer solution(Fig. 1). Uptake was high in the liver and spleen but is was minimal in the lungs on whole body scan. Kidneys and intestine showed minimal activity although it was high in the urinary bladder(Fig. 2). Uptake of labelled leukocytes in the inflammation site was do(mite on 2 hour-postinjection scan and abscess was clearly delineated on 24 hour-delayed scan with high target-to-nontarget ratio(Fig. 3, 4). Inflammation scan using mixed leukocytes labelled with Tc-99m-HMPAO is very sensitive and specific in early detection of inflammation.

In feedlot cattle the abrupt change of diet from roughage to a large quantity of grain for the purpose to improve production often results in increased occurrence of rumen acidosis or acute carbohydrate encouragement enterotoxemia, bloats diarrhea liver abscess and laminitis or robot disease. The common management practice to control these problem is to increase the amount of concentrates in the diet in a stepwise manner until the animals are adapted to a high-grain ration. However this practice requires at least about 3 weeks adaptation period and specially prepared adaptation rations which contain various amount of concentrates. Present experiment was undertaken in order to findout the more simple and rapid adaptation method of cattle to a high grain ration. Nineteen Korean calves aging from four to six month were fed artifical hay (Youngchoun Chuk-Hyup, Korea) which contains 10% of concentrates or alfalfa and rye grass hays for two months and randomly alloted to three experimental groups and two control groups. The experimental group-1 was inoculated by stomach tube for two days with li500 ml/day of ruminal fluid fished from Korean beef cattle that had been previously adapted to a high-energy ration. The experimental group-2 was inoculated by trocalization for two days with the same ruminal fluid. The experimental group-3 was inoculated by trocalization with 1,500 ml/day of bacterial culture which contained 2$\times $10$^{9}$/m1 of Gram-negative bacteria derived from adapted luminal fluid. The two control groups were treated with normal saline solution by the same methods. All animals were fed high-energy ration that contained 80% of grain ad libitum for 30-74 days beginning on the third of the treatment. The effect of the inoculation on the adaptation was observed clinicopathologically with the following results; All of the experimental calves inoculated with the ruminal fluid or Gram-negative bacterial culture derived from adapted cattle did not show any signs of rumen acidosis or other related diseases, while most of the control calves did show diarrhea and bloat and a calf laminitis. The average daily weight gain and feed efficiency of experimental calves were slightly improved compared with control calves. Following the feeding of high-grain rational the pH of the ruminal fluid was lowered in both the experimental and control groups. However severe acidosis with the pH of below 5.0 was observed in only a control group-2. The protozoal number in ruminal fluid was markedly decreased during the high-grain feeding in both the experimental and control calves. However the decrease was mere severe in control calves compared with the experimental calves. The activation of the protozoa were completely disappeared within nine hours at the refrigerator temperature (4"C). No significant differences in heamatological and blood chemical values between the experimental and control calves were recognized. However in one control calf which showed clinically laminitis marked elevations of serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase activities and a decrease of serum glucose level were observed. From these results it would be concluded the intraruminal transplantation of unadapted calves with the adapted ruminal fluid from cattle previously adapted to a high-energy ration prevents disease problem associated with high-grain feeding and improve weight gain and feed efficiency.ency.

최근 뱀장어 (Anguilla japonica)에서 발생하고 있는 질병을 파악하기 위하여 질병 모니터링을 실시하였다. 2021년 5월부터 2022년 3월까지는 폐사가 발생한 7개의 양만장 유래의 뱀장어를 7회 검사하였다. 모든 양만장에서 JEECV가 검출되었고 양만장마다 1-2종의 세균 (Edwardsiella anguillarum, E. piscisida, Aeromonas sp., Citrobacter freundii, Lactococcus garviae 혹은 Vibrio sp.)이 복합감염이 일어나 있었다. 2022년 3월부터 2023년 10월까지는 전라남도 영광의 한 양식장에서 매달 정기적으로 총 22회 검사를 실시하였다. JEECV가 22회 검사 중 10회 검출되었고 폐사가 발생하지 않는 시기에도 꾸준히 검출되었다. 세균으로는 E. anguillarum, C. freundii, Aeromonas sp.와 Vibrio sp가검출되었으나 E. anguillarum이 분리된 개체만이 간의 농양과 출혈 병소가 일관되게 관찰되었고 다른 세균은 임상증상이 없는 경우가 많았다. 모니터링의 결과를 종합하면 양만장에서의 폐사는 JEECV 단독감염보다는 JEECV가 세균과 복합감염일 경우에 발생하였다. 그러므로 뱀장어의 폐사를 줄이기 위해서는 JEECV와 E. anguillarum의 관리에 중점을 두고 복합감염을 줄이는 것이 중요한 것으로 생각된다.

연구배경: 페니실린의 출현으로 폐렴구균 감염증의 사망률이 현저히 감소하기는 했으나 폐렴구균 균혈증의 사망률은 여전히 높다. 최근 페니실린 내성 폐렴구균이 증가하고 있는 추세이며 이는 치료 항생제 선태에 어려움을 주고 있다. 한국은 페니실린 내성 폐렴 구균의 빈도가 세계에서 가장 높은 나라로 알려져 있으며 이에 대한 연구가 더 필요한 상황이다. 저자 등은 서울대학병원에서 폐렴 구균 균혈증의 임상상과 페니실린 내성 여부가 사망에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 서울대학교 병원에서 1990년 1월에서 1997년 7월까지 혈액배양에서 폐렴 구균이 증명되었던 66예 중에서 병록 검토가 가능했던 50예를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 결과: 연령의 중앙값은 56세였고, 50세 이상이 62%를 차지했다. 폐렴구균 예방접종을 시행한 기왕력이 있었던 예는 없었다. 기저 질환은 48예(96%)에서 있었다. 동반된 국소 병변으로는 폐렴이 21예(42%)로 가장 많았고, 자발성 세균성 복막염이 7예(14%), 담도염 5예(10%), 뇌막염 4예(8%), 간농양 2예(4%), 인두편도염 2예(4%), 부비동염 1예(2%), 봉와직염이 1예(2%)에서 관찰되었고, 원발성 균혈증이 7예(14%)가 있었다. 총 사망 예는 12예(24%)였다. 이 중 폐렴은 9예로 총 폐렴 예의 42%가 사망하였고, 뇌막염 2예, 원발성 균혈증 1예가 사망하였다. 페니실린 내성군은 내성 여부를 확인할 수 있었던 63예 중 25예(40%)를 차지하였다. 페니실린 내성률은 1991년 이후 급격한 증가를 보였다. 페니실린 내성군에서 최근 3개월 내 항생제 사용 예가 많았고 (p=0.022) 최근 입원 예가 많아(p=0.030) 페니실린 내성 감염의 위험 인자로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 감수성 군과 내성군 간의 연령, 기저 질환의 중증도, 병원 감염 여부, 면역 억제 여부, 속이나 급성신부전의 빈도 등은 양 군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 사망률은 페니실린 감수성군에서 23%, 내성군에서 29%로 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: 페니실린 내성 여부는 사망률에 영향을 미치지 못했으나 폐렴구균 균혈증의 사망률은 전반적으로 높았다. 따라서 폐렴구균 예방 접종의 적응증이 되는 경우에는 적극적인 예방 접종이 필요하리라 사료된다.

목적: 위암이 국소적으로 진행하여 췌장과 비장으로 직접 침윤이 발생되었을 췌-비장 절제를 시행하는 것에는 반대 의견이 없지만, 췌-비장의 보존이 가능함에도 불구하고, 비장혈관이나 비문부 림프절의 완전 절제를 위해서 췌-비장 절제가 시행되는 것은 논란의 여지가 많다 저자들은 위 중-상부의 진행암으로 위 전절제술과 함께 원위부 췌-비장 절제가 시행되었던 환자들의 수술 결과 분석을 통하여 불필요한 합병절제를 피할 수 있는 방법을 찾고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년부터 2001년까지 가톨릭대학교 의과대학 외과학교실에서 위 전절제술과 동반되어 원위부 췌-비장 절제가 시행된 118명의 환자 중, 병리 조직학적으로 암의 췌장 침윤이 없었던 90예(I군)와 침윤이 확인된 28예(II군)의 임상병리학적 특성, 이환율과 사망률 및 생존율 등을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 전체 118예 중 췌장 침윤이 확인된 pT4는 28예(23.7%)였고, 침윤이 없었던 pT3과 pT2가 각각 65예(55.1%) 와 20예(16.9%)였으며, pT1도 5예(4.3%)였다. 병기는 28예의 pT4 중에서 림프절 전이가 있어 IV기인 경우가 25예(89.3%)였고, 림프절 전이가 없는 IIIa기는 3예(10.7%)에 불과하였다. 또한 I군은 la (pT1N0)기 4예, Ib (pT2N0)기 7예였고, II기는 pT2N1 8예, pT3N0 12예, pT1N2 1예였으며, III기는 IIIa 15예, IIIb 17예, IV기는 26예였다. 두 군의 임상병리학적 특성 중 병기, 절제연 및 근치도에서 유의한 차이를 보였고, 생존에 영향을 미치는 인자들의 단변량 분석에서는 병기, 위벽 침윤, 췌장 침윤, 림프절전이, 비장혈관과 비문부 림프절 전이, 전이 림프절 비율, 근치도, 간 및 복막 전이 등에서 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 이 중 병기와 전이 림프절 비율 및 근치도가 예후에 영향을 미치는 독립적 예후인자로 나타났다. 5년 생존율은 I군이 36.2%, II군이 13.9%였고, 술 후 합병증으로 췌장 루 6예(5.1%), 복강 내 농양 5예(4.2%), 출혈 5예(4.2%)로 수술로 인한 전체 이환율은 22.1%였으며, 사망률은 6.8% (8예)였다. 결론: 진행성 상부 위암으로 위 전 절제술을 시행할 때 원위부 췌-비장 절제는 이환율이 비교적 높은 술식이기 때문에 간이나 복막전이가 없는 상태에서 위암의 병기가 높고, 절제연이 불충분하며, 근치적 절제가 불가능하다고 판단될 때에만 선택적으로 시행되는 것이 좋다고 생각한다.

간문부 담관암 환자에서 고식적 치료로 경피경간 금속 자가 팽창성 스텐트 삽입술을 시행하여 그 효과를 알아보았다. 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원에 2001년 11월부터 2002년 7월까지 간문부 담관암으로 진단받은 환자 중 경피경간 양측성 금속 스텐트를 삽입한 48명을 대상으로 하였다. 의무기록과 전화조사를 이용하여 조기합병증, 기술 및 임상적인 성공률, 스텐트 개통율, 환자 생존율을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 금속 스텐트의 삽입은 전 예에서 가능하였으며 기술적인 성공률은 100%로 대상환자 48명 모두에서 추적 담관조영술에서 십이지장으로 조영제가 잘 내려가 경피경간 담도배액관을 제거할 수 있었다. 금속 스텐트 삽입 후 1주 배액율은 평균 72.8%, 최종 배액율은 91.1%로 모든 예에서 성공적인 배액이 이루어졌다. 30일 이내에 조기 합병증으로 경미한 복통 이외의 진통제 투여가 필요한 정도의 복통이 12예에서 있었으나 보존적 치료로 2~3일 내에 호전이 되었고, 급성 담도염이 1예서 발생하였으나 적절한 항생제의 사용으로 호전이 되었다. 후기 합병증으로 급성 담낭염이 2예, 간농양이 1예, 담즙종이 1예 발생하였으나 적절한 배액술로 치료가 가능하였다. 생존율과 개통율은 30일 이내에 사망한 3예와 추적이 되지 않은 3예를 제외한 42예에서 구하였다. 42예의 금속 스텐트의 개통 유지기간의 중앙값은 303일(60~815일)이었으며 6개월 개통율은 64%, 1년 개통율은 33%였다(Fig. 2). 생존기간의 중앙값은 338일(60~1175일)이었으며 6개월 생존율은 69%, 1년 생존율은 38%였다(Fig. 3). 근치적 절제가 불가능한 간문부 담관암 환자에서 고식적 치료로 경피경간 금속 스텐트 삽입은 안전하고 효과적인 시술로 생각된다.
