목 적 : 최근 신생아 집중치료의 발전으로 미숙아의 생존율이 증가하면서 미숙아 망막병증도 증가하는 추세이다. 재태 연령 및 출생체중과 미숙한 망막이 중요한 위험인자이지만, 이 외에 무호흡, 패혈증, 인공호흡기의 사용, 장기간의 산소사용 역시 유의한 위험 인자로 알려져 있다. 이에 본 연구는 만성 폐질환 환아에서 nasal cannula를 통한 저농도 산소($FiO_2$ 25% 미만)의 사용 기간이 미숙아 망막병증의 진행에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 미숙아 망막병증의 예방 및 진행의 완화에 도움을 주고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 2001년 2월 1일부터 2006년 1월 31일까지 본원 출생아중 재태 연령 37주 미만이면서 출생체중 1,750 g 미만의 생존한 미숙아들로, 안저 검사를 받고 최소 6개월 이상 추적관찰이 가능했던 273명의 미숙아를 대상으로 의무기록을 기초로 후향적 분석을 통해 미숙아 망막병증의 발생에 영향을 미치는 여러 위험인자들을 검토하고, 저농도 산소의 사용 기간이 미숙아 망막병증의 발생과 임상경과 및 예후에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 만성 폐질환은 생후 28일 혹은 재태주령 36주가 되는 시점에 산소 의존도가 있었던 경우로 정의하였다. 결과 : 미숙아 망막병증의 발생에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자로는 짧은 재태연령과 적은 출생체중이었고, 기타 무호흡, 표면활성제의 사용, 인공호흡기, 신생아 호흡곤란 증후군, 뇌실내 출혈 등의 순으로 상대적 위험도가 높았다. 저농도 산소 사용 기간이 길어질수록 미숙아 망막병증의 발생률은 높아지고, 미숙아 망막병증의 발병 시기는 지연되는 경향을 보였다. 수술적 치료를 받은 환아들에서 일단 미숙아 망막병증이 발병한 후에는 수술적 치료가 필요한 정도의 심각한 미숙아 망막병증으로 진행하는 기간 간격은 짧아지는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 만성 폐질환 환아군에서 산소를 투여하고 있는 기간 중보다는 산소를 중단한 이후에 미숙아 망막병증이 급격하게 진행되는 경향을 보였다. 결론 : 심각한 미숙아 망막병증의 발병 및 급속한 진행을 예방하기 위하여 가능한 한 저농도 산소라도 사용기간을 줄이고, 산소 사용 중단 이후에는 좀 더 적극적인 추적 안저 검사를 해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: Eczema herpeticum, caused by herpes simplex virus, is an infectious disease involving skin and internal organs. Varieties of physiologic, psychosocial, or environmental stress reactivate reservoir virus which exists in the trigeminal nerve ganglia. Authors report rare cases of nasal eczema herpeticum following corrective rhinoplasty. Methods: First case, 22-year-old female underwent corrective rhioplasty through an external approach in a local clinic. She developed progressive and painful erythema, nodules and vesicles on nose on the 9th day postoperatively. This unfamiliar lesion lead to a misdiagnosis as a bacterial infection, and had accelerated its progress to the trigeminal innervation of the nasal unit. Second case, a 23-year-old female underwent corrective rhinoplasty by external lateral osteotomy. Ten days after the surgery, disruption occurred on the external osteotomy site, and the ulceration gradually worsened. The surgeon misdiagnosed it as secondary bacterial infection and only an antibacterial agent was applied. Results: Both cases were healed effectively without any complication with proper wound dressing and antiviral therapy, and show no sequelae during an 8-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Eczema herpeticum is rare in the field of plastic surgery, but it should be kept in mind that secondary bacterial infections may lead to serious complications such as full-thickness skin loss. Thus, acknowledgement of the patient's past history regarding perioral or intraoral lesion may provide the surgeon with the possible expectancy of eczema herpeticum. Thus, if anyone develops eczema herpeticum, following facial plastic surgery, early diagnosis and immediate proper antiviral therapy will allow fast recovery without serious complications.

Objectives: To study the clinical features of the primary nasal/nasopharyngeal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and to evaluate the implication of immunophenotyping as a prognostic factor. Patients and Methods: From January 1990 to December 1997,41 patients(median age, 41 years) of primary nasal/nasopharyngeal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were studied. The clinical records and paraffin-embedded tissue blocks were reviewed retrospectively. The histologic features, immunophenotypic findings(pan-T, pan-B, CD3, CD56) and Epstein-Barr virus in situ hybridizatios were examined. The prognostic factors for clinical outcome were evaluated in these patients. According to Ann-Arbor system, there were 30 patiets(73%) with stage IE, 4(10%) with stage IIE, 3(7%) with stage IIIE, 4(10%) with stage IVE lymphoma. Among the patients with stage IE/IIE, 4 patients received local radiation alone, 4 received chemotherapy alone, 25 received combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy and 1 refused treatment. The patients with stage IIIE/IVE were given combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Results: Immunophenotyping were performed in 40 patients and staining results were as follows: 3(7%) patients with B cell, 17(42%) with T cell, 18(44%) with NK/T cell(CD56 positive), and two patients with unclassifiable result. Epstein-Barr(EB) virus in situ hybridization were performed in 28 patients and 23(82%) patients had positive EBV-encoded RNAs(EBERs). 21(55%) patients achieved a complete remission. There was no difference in complete remission between radiation alone and combination therapy. With median follow-up of 30 months, 5-years disease free survival of complete responders was 60% and 5-years overall survival rate was 36%. Multivariate analysis showed that better overall survival was related with absence of B symptoms, ECOG performance${\leq}1$ and non-NK cells. Conclusion: Most of all cases were positive for EBER. Since NK/T phenotype carried the worst prognosis, analysis for CD56 expression should be done. Further prospective studies were warranted to evaluate the role of chemotherapy in stage IE/IIE.

Cough is a very common and largely recurrent childhood respiratory disease. In Korean medicine, Zhudanxi(矢丹溪), was the first to classify cough according to the different stages of time. In this research, I examined the stage of Nocturnal Cough(晨嗽) which refers to cough that occurs at dawn. Indigestion is classified as the cause with SaBaek-san proscribed as the treatment for such cough. In this research, twenty five children who had coughing at dawn with abdominal symptoms were treated with Sabaek-san-kamibang and then examined for cough, abdominal symptoms and other related symptoms. As a result, there was a statistically notable decrease in cough, abdominal symptoms and other symptoms such as nasal discharge, sputum, constipation, vomiting and cough. In addition, of the twenty five patients found with acute cough and those with moderate cough with abdominal symptoms showed good clinical results upon completion of treatment.

Background The indications for surgical airway management in patients with Robin sequence (RS) and severe airway obstruction have not been well defined. While certain patients with RS clearly require surgical airway intervention and other patients just as clearly can be managed with conservative measures alone, a significant proportion of patients with RS present with a more confusing and ambiguous clinical course. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical features and objective findings of patients with RS whose airways were successfully managed without surgical intervention. Methods The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of infants with RS evaluated for potential surgical airway management between 1994 and 2014. Patients who were successfully managed without surgical intervention were included. Patient demographics, nutritional and respiratory status, laboratory values, and polysomnography (PSG) findings were recorded. Results Thirty-two infants met the inclusion criteria. The average hospital stay was 16.8 days (range, 5-70 days). Oxygen desaturation (<70% by pulse oximetry) occurred in the majority of patients and was managed with temporary oxygen supplementation by nasal cannula (59%) or endotracheal intubation (31%). Seventy-five percent of patients required a temporary nasogastric tube for nutritional support, and a gastrostomy tube placed was placed in 9%. All patients continued to gain weight following the implementation of these conservative measures. PSG data (n=26) demonstrated mild to moderate obstruction, a mean apneahypopnea index (AHI) of $19.2{\pm}5.3events/hour$, and an oxygen saturation level <90% during only 4% of the total sleep time. Conclusions Nonsurgical airway management was successful in patients who demonstrated consistent weight gain and mild to moderate obstruction on PSG, with a mean AHI of <20 events/hour.

Background and Purpose : Allergic rhinitis is a well-known, relatively controllable chronic disease. Although a number of methods for treating allergic rhinitis have been tried, many patients have not been satisfied with their treatment. Therefore, this study tried to evaluate the effect of a cooperative system of Oriental and Western medicine and to develop a new diagnosis protocol for treatment of allergic rhinitis. Methods : We measured improvement rate and acoustic rhinometry after the allergeninduction test and performed a filter paper test as a nonspecific hypersensitivity test with 60 patients who are allergic to house dust mite. Patients were divided into two groups, one treated with Western medicine only and one treated with both Western and Oriental herbal medicine. For the group with Western medicine only, antihistamine for one week and local steroid medicine for two weeks were prescribed. For the group with combined medicine, Oriental herbal medicine was prescribed according to the patient s constitution, along with Western medicine. After all treatments, the above tests were re-performed and the improvement rate was compared. Results and Conclusion : We observed better results in the group treated with both Western and Oriental herbal medicines, comparing improvement rate and the alteration of total nasal volume through acoustic rhinometry after the allergen induction test. In the filter paper test, there was no significant difference between the two groups. In conclusion, we showed the additive effect of Oriental herbal medicine without any severe side effects compared with treatment with Western medicine only. In this study, we set only two patient groups, but further study is required to create various experimental groups and compare among them. We suggest that it might enhance understanding of the improved effect of Oriental herbal medicine in the therapy of allergic rhinitis.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma(ACC) is the second most common malignant neoplasm in the salivary gland. In spite of ACC shows slowly growing nature, it is sometimes highly detrimental that it readily invades adjacent tissues and metastasize to distant organs at the early stage of disease. Hence, treatment outcome may be misfortunate due to wide regional infiltration, pathognomonic perineural spread and the tendency of hematogenous metastasis. We present a unusal case of ACC of the scalp in which the patient initially presented with bumpy mass of the scalp who had been diagnosed as the primarily developed ACC of the right hard palate that extended to infratemporal fossa, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinuses and had been treated by total excision and post-operative chemotherapy and radiation therapy for 10 years ago. Although this lesion occured at the scalp, which is a frequent site of primary dermatologic ACC, its histomorphology was the same with that of previous tumor. Complete clinical examination showed no recurrence sign at the primary site and suggested the scalp as a sole treatment failure site. Accordingly, it would be reasonable to consider the present case as either a scalp metastasis or a second primary lesion of salivary gland ACC.
