In photodynamic therapy (PDT), oxygen plays important role. Because of singlet oxygen which is produced by activated photosensitizer after laser irradiation of specific wavelength. The aim of this study is to find how oxygen concentration affects anticancer effect in PDT. Groups were divided into PDT with oxygen applied group and only PDT applied group. PDT with oxygen applied group supplied oxygen for 15 minute before laser irradiation. In vitro, CT-26 cell was incubated with various concentration of photofrin $(50.0{\sim}0.05{\mu}g/ml)$ and was irradiated with 632nm diode laser 6hr after application of photofrin. The cell viability of two groups was assessed by MTT assay. In vivo, CT-26 cell line was transplanted into the subcutaneous tissue of BALB/c mouse. The anticancer effect of two groups was measured by tumor volume change. In vitro study, the cell viability was significantly decreased at $1.56{\sim}3.13{\mu}g/ml$ in PDT with oxygen applied group. In vivo study, the PDT with oxygen applied group significantly higher reduction rate of tumor volume 7 days after PDT compared to PDT only group. The high oxygen concentration might enhance the anticancer effect of the photodynamic therapy.

Recently, there is a growing interest of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in many fields of medicine. We had a 43-year-old female patient presented with severe necrosis of the nose, philtrum, and upper lip due to retrograde arterial occlusion after nasolabial fold hyaluronic acid filler injection. Our patient went through 43 sessions of systemic hyperbaric oxygen therapy from December 2, 2017 to January 18, 2018. We administered 2.8 atmosphere absolute (ATA) for 135 minutes in the first session and the remaining sessions consisted of 2.0 ATA for 110 minutes. In reporting this case, we wish to provide a warning regarding the latent risk of filler injections and share our experience about minimizing soft tissue damage in the early stages with systemic hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cancer treatment modality which utilizes the cytotoxicity of the active singlet oxygen derived from irradiation of a tumor accumulated photosensitizer. As the oxygen in the singlet state radiates an emission of 1270nm wavelength when it decays to the triplet state, detection of the emission helps us to understand the mechanism of PDT or to evaluate photosensitizers. We detected the 1270nm emission from photosensitizers Photofrin and ATX-SI0 in vitro and in vivo by means of high sensitive NIR detectors. We obtained the maximum amount of singlet oxygen at irradiation wavelength of 665-670nm from a HeLa tumor in a nude mouse which is injected with ATX-S10.

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.

Objective: The evidence that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy is more effective for improving the acute neuropsychological status (ANS) of carbon monoxide poisoning than normobaric oxygen (NBO) therapy is not convincing. This is because the levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) do not correlate with the clinical severity of carbon monoxide poisoning and there is no universally accepted severity scale of carbon monoxide poisoning. This paper suggests a new scale for the clinical and neurological severity of carbon monoxide poisoning, called the ANS, and assesses the effect of HBO therapy for each level of ANS compared to NBO therapy. Methods: A total of 217 patients who had been hospitalized because of carbon monoxide poisoning from January 2009 to July 2013 were studied. ANS was suggested as a new severity scale of carbon monoxide poisoning considered in the Glasgow Coma Scale, acute neuro-psychologic signs and symptoms, or cardiac ischemia on the initial medical contact. HBO therapy is indicated in those who have a loss of consciousness, seizure, coma, abnormal findings on a neurological examination, pregnancy, persistent cardiac ischemia, level of COHb >25%, or severe metabolic acidosis (pH <7.2). The end point is the day of discharge, and recovery is defined as a normal neuro-psychological status without any sequelae. Results: The levels of troponin T and creatinine increased significantly with increasing ANS score. In the moderate to severe group (ANS 2 and 3), the recovery rate was significantly higher when treated with HBO therapy than with NBO therapy (P=0.030). On the other hand, the development of delayed neuro-psychological sequelae (DNS) did not correlate with any level of ANS, type of oxygen therapy, or recovery on discharge. Conclusion: In the moderate to severe poisoned group, HBO therapy is more effective for improving the ANS from carbon monoxide poisoning than NBO therapy. On the other hand, the development of DNS of HBO therapy is no more preventable than with NBO therapy. Although the level of ANS is low, the patient needs to be provided with sufficient information and a follow-up visit is recommended for any abnormal symptoms because the ANS does not correlate with the development and degree of DNS.

Background: Breastfeeding reportedly reduces the overall frequency of infections. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the most common respiratory pathogen in infants, involves recurrent wheezing and has a pathogenic mechanism related to airway structural damage. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether breastfeeding has a beneficial effect against RSV-induced respiratory infection compared to formula feeding among infants in Korea. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of infants under 1 year of age who were admitted with RSV infection between January 2016 and February 2018 at the department of pediatrics of 4 hospitals. We investigated the differences in clinical parameters such as cyanosis, chest retraction, combined infection, fever duration, oxygen use, oxygen therapy duration, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and corticosteroid treatment of exclusive breast milk feeding (BMF), artificial milk formula fed (AMF), and mixed feeding (MF) groups. Results: Among the 411 infants included in our study, 94, 161, and 156 were included in the BMF, MF, and AMF groups, respectively. The rates of oxygen therapy were significantly different among the BMF (4.3%), MF (8.1%), and AMF (13.5 %) groups (P=0.042). The odds ratios (ORs) for oxygen therapy was significantly higher in the AMF group than in the BMF group (adjusted OR, 3.807; 95% confidence interval, 1.22-11.90; P=0.021). The ICU admission rate of the BMF group (1.1%) was lower than that of the MF (3.5%) and AMF (4.5%) groups; however, the dissimilarity was not statistically significant (P=0.338). Conclusion: The severity of RSV infection requiring oxygen therapy was lower in the BMF than the AMF group. This protective role of human milk on RSV infection might decrease the need for oxygen therapy suggesting less airway damage.

Most cancer patients experience nausea and vomiting after surgery. Today, many methods of treatment have been developed and used for the control of such symptoms. The most important are drug therapy, relaxation, oxygen therapy and gas therapy. In addition, dexamethasone, massage therapy and using a Venturi mask have also proven effective. Due to the nature of gas consumption which leads to nausea it is recommended that use of N2O in the operating room be avoided or applied in combination with oxygen or other gases with fewer complications.
