  • In our hospital we have seen 20 cases of congenital diaphragmatic anomalies from June 1984 until December 1993. These were classified into 10 cases of diaphragmatic eventration, 8 cases of Bochdalek hernia, 1 case of Morgagni hernia, and 1 case of esophageal hiatal hernia. Diaphragmatic eventration cases were composed of 8 males and 2 females with ages varing from 3 hour to 42 year. They were discovered by symptoms: 5 cases of respiratory insufficiency; 3 cases of frequent respiratory infection; and 2 cases by chance; 6 cases involved the left side, 4 cases involved right side. Emergency operations were done to 4 patients. Among the 10 patients, only one operative mortality occurred; 3 hour old female.Bochdalek hernia cases composed 6 females and 2 males, 5 patients were less than 6 hour old. All patients were operated on an emergency status and three of them expired due to the vicious cycle of pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary vasoconstriction, persistent fetal circulation, hypoxia, and metabolic acidosis. Morgagni hernia was seen in one 69 year old female patient, she had no complaint of symptoms and was incidentally detected. Hernia was repaired through right thoracotomy. She was discharged with healthy appearence. Esophageal hiatal hernia was seen in a 10 month old male patient, his symptoms were persistent vomiting and coughing since birth. Sliding type of esophageal hiatal hernia repair was completed through left thoracotomy.

  • Propofol is known to cause vasorelaxation of several systemic vascular beds. However, its effect on the pulmonary vasculature remains controversial. In the present study, we investigated the effects of propofol on human pulmonary arteries obtained from patients who had undergone surgery. Arterial rings were mounted in a Multi-Myograph system for measurement of isometric forces. U46619 was used to induce sustained contraction of the intrapulmonary arteries, and propofol was then applied (in increments from $10-300{\mu}m$). Arteries denuded of endothelium, preincubated or not with indomethacin, were used to investigate the effects of propofol on isolated arteries. Propofol exhibited a bifunctional effect on isolated human pulmonary arteries contracted by U46619, evoking constriction at low concentrations ($10-100{\mu}m$) followed by secondary relaxation (at $100-300{\mu}m$). The extent of constriction induced by propofol was higher in an endothelium-denuded group than in an endothelium-intact group. Preincubation with indomethacin abolished constriction and potentiated relaxation. The maximal relaxation was greater in the endothelium-intact than the endothelium-denuded group. Propofol also suppressed $CaCl_2$-induced constriction in the 60 mM $K^+$-containing $Ca^{2+}$-free solution in a dose-dependent manner. Fluorescent imaging of $Ca^{2+}$ using fluo-4 showed that a 10 min incubation with propofol ($10-300{\mu}m$) inhibited the $Ca^{2+}$ influx into human pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells induced by a 60 mM $K^+$-containing $Ca^{2+}$-free solution. In conclusion, propofol-induced arterial constriction appears to involve prostaglandin production by cyclooxygenase in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and the relaxation depends in part on endothelial function, principally on the inhibition of calcium influx through L-type voltage-operated calcium channels.

  • 연구배경: 혈류의 누가현상이 일어나는 폐혈관계의 압력을 유효유출압($P_I$), 심박출량의 변화분에 대한 폐동맥압의 변화분을 폐혈관저항증분(IR)이라고 정의할때에 $P_I$ 및 IR과 폐혈관저항을 비교해보면 폐혈관저항의 문제점이 발견된다. 즉 폐혈관상이 감소하는 폐색전증에서는 이론상 IR이 주로 증가해야 하는데, 여러 연구에 의하여 상반된 결과가 보고되어있고 폐혈관저항과 $P_I$, IR간에는 상위점이 존재하는 것이 알려져 왔다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 폐혈관저항을 폐혈관계의 유효유출압($P_I$)과 폐혈관저항증분(IR)으로 세분할때 폐색전증의 유발 및 치료시 아들이 어떻게 변화하는가를 관찰하여 이러한 새로운 지표들의 의미와 일반적으로 사용되는 폐혈관저항과의 차이점을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 실험전에 동정맥루를 만든후 10~15분 간격으로 조직하여, 동정맥루가 모두 폐쇄된 상태, 하나의 동정맥루가 개방된 상태, 그리고 두개의 동정맥루가 모두 개방된 상태의 3가지 경우로 심박출량올 변화시키면서 방사성동위원소로 표지된 자가혈병으로 대량의 폐색전증을 유발시킨후의 평균폐동맥압을 측정하여 폐혈관계의 유효유출압과 폐혈관저항증분을 계산하였다. 이때 대조군은 특이 치료를 하지않고, 제 1 치료군은 15분 동안, 제 2치료군은 3시간에 걸쳐서 재조합형의 조직형 플라스미노겐 활성체를 체중당 1mg씩 정맥주입하면서 유효유출압과 폐혈관저항증분의 변화양상을 관찰하였다. 곁과: 1) 폐혈관저항은 폐동맥압의 변화양상과 유사하게 변화했는데, 세군 모두 폐혈관저항이 유의하게 증가하였고, 제 1 치료군 및 제 2 치료군에서는 치료후 폐혈관저항이 계속 감소하는 경향을 보였는데, 제 1 치료군의 감소속도가 제 2 치료군보다 유의하게 빨랐다. 2) 최소자승법으로 산출한 심박출량과 폐동맥압과의 직선관계는 절편($P_I$) 및 기울기(IR)가 유의하였다. 3) $P_I$(폐혈관계의 유효유출압)는 폐혈관저항과 동일한 양상으로 변화한 반면에, 이론상 폐혈관저항과 가까운 IR(폐혈관저항증분)에서는 세군간의 유의한 차이나 조직형 플라스미노겐 활성체 투여후의 의미있는 변화는 거의 없었다. 결론: 폐색전증에서는 폐혈관계의 실제저항을 의미하는 폐혈관저항증분과 폐색전증에 대한 이차적 혈관 수축때문에 생기는 폐혈관계의 유효유출압의 변화가 동시에 반영된다고 할 수 있겠다.

  • Purpose: Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) that causes upper airway obstruction might lead to chronic hypoxemic pulmonary vasoconstriction and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. We aimed to evaluate whether adenotonsillectomy (T&A) in children suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) due to severe ATH could improve RV function. Methods: Thirty-seven children (boy:girl=21:16; mean age, $9.52{\pm}2.20years$), who underwent T&A forsleep apnea due to ATH, were included. We analyzedthe mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), the presence and the maximal velocity of tricuspid regurgitation (TR), the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), and the right ventricular myocardial performance index (RVMPI) with tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) by transthoracic echocardiography pre- and post-T&A. The follow-up period was $1.78{\pm}0.27years$. Results: Only the RVMPI using TDE improved after T&A ($42.18{\pm}2.03$ vs. $40{\pm}1.86$, P=0.001). The absolute value of TAPSE increased ($21.45{\pm}0.90mm$ vs. $22.30{\pm}1.10mm$, P=0.001) but there was no change in the z score of TAPSE pre- and post-T&A ($1.19{\pm}0.34$ vs. $1.24{\pm}0.30$, P=0.194). The mPAP was within normal range in children with ATH, and there was no significant difference between pre- and post-T&A ($19.6{\pm}3.40$ vs. $18.7{\pm}2.68$, P=0.052). There was no difference in the presence and the maximal velocity of TR (P=0.058). Conclusion: RVMPI using TDE could be an early parameter of RV function in children with OSA due to ATH.

  • 진행성 간질환의 합병증으로 발생하는 문맥폐고혈압은, 이차성 폐동맥고혈압 중에서 진행성 간질환에 의한 문맥고혈압과 연관된 폐동맥고혈압으로 분류되며, 독특한 임상적, 병태생리학적 특징을 보인다. 임상양상은 점진적인 운동성 호흡곤란, 흉통 등을 호소하지만, 증상 없이 우연히 발견되는 경우도 있다. 심초음파 검사를 통해 예비적으로, 우심장 도관삽입으로 직접 우심실 및 평균 폐동맥압을 측정하여 진단할 수 있다. 치료는 칼슘통로차단제, 프로스타노이드 등을 사용하지만, 근본적인 치료를 위해서는 간 및 폐이식을 고려해야 한다. 저자들은 53세 여자로 20년 전에 간경변을 진단받은 후 호흡곤란으로 내원한 환자에게서, 간경변의 원인으로 원발성 담관성 간경변을 진단하고, 호흡곤란의 원인으로 문맥폐고혈압을 진단하여 치료하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.

  • Purpose: Chronic upper airway obstruction causes hypoxemic pulmonary vasoconstriction, which may lead to right ventricle (RV) dysfunction. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) is the most common cause of upper airway obstruction in children. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate RV function in children with ATH. Methods: Twenty-one children (male/female, 15/6; mean age, $92.3{\pm}39.0$ months; age range, 4-15 years) with ATH and 21 healthy age- and gender-matched controls were included in this study. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion and RV myocardial performance index were measured by transthoracic echocardiography. Further, the plasma level of N-terminal of probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), an indicator of RV function, was determined. Results: The snoring-tiredness during daytime-observed apnea-high blood pressure (STOP) questionnaire was completed by the patients' parents, and loud snoring was noted in the ATH group. The plasma NT-proBNP level was significantly higher in the ATH group than that in the controls ($66.44{\pm}37.63pg/mL$ vs. $27.85{\pm}8.89pg/mL$, P=0.001). The echocardiographic parameters were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: We were unable to confirm the significance of echocardiographic evidence of RV dysfunction in the management of children with ATH. However, the plasma NT-proBNP level was significantly higher in the ATH group than that in the control, suggesting that chronic airway obstruction in children may carry a risk for cardiac dysfunction. Therefore, more patients should be examined using transthoracic echocardiography. In addition, pediatricians and otolaryngologists should consider cardiologic aspects during the management of children with severe ATH.

  • 배 경: COPD 환자에서 흡연은 폐혈관에 직접 작용하여 혈관 수축, 확장 및 혈관세포 증식을 조절하는 매개물질을 분비하여 혈관의 부적절한 개형 및 생리 현상을 초래하여 폐성고혈압을 유발한다. COPD 환자에서는 종종 급성 및 만성 폐혈전증이 일어나고 혈장내 응고전구물질 및 섬유소용해계의 표지자들이 증가되어 있다. 그러나 COPD 환자에서 혈액 응고계 및 섬유소용해계가 우심실 기능 장애에 어떤 기여를 하는지는 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 진행된 COPD 환자에서 multidetector CT scan (MDCT)을 이용하여 측정한 우심실 기능에 따른 혈액내 응고계 및 섬유소용해 계의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: GOLD 지침에 따라 COPD로 진단한 26명에서 심장 MDCT scan을 이용하여 우심실 박출계수를 구하였다. 혈액내 thrombin antithrombin (TAT) 및 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1은 enzyme linked immunoassay 방법으로 측정하였다. 결 과: COPD 환자의 혈중 TAT는 $10.5{\pm}19.8{\mu}g/L$으로 정상인의 혈중 TAT $3.4{\pm}2.5{\mu}g/L$보다 의미 있게 증가되었으나 (p<0.01) COPD 환자의 혈중 PAI-1는 $29.6{\pm}20.7ng/mL$으로 정상인의 혈중 PAI-1 $25.9{\pm}17.9ng/mL$와 비교하여 의미 있는 변화가 없었다. COPD 환자에서 혈중 TAT는 MDCT scan으로 측정한 우심실 박출계수와 의미 있는 역 상관관계를 보였으나 (r=-0.645, p<0.01) 혈중 PAI-1은 우심실 박출계수와 상관관계를 보이지 않았다 (r=0.022, p=0.92). 결 론: COPD 환자에서 혈중내 응고계는 활성화되어 있으며 혈중 TAT는 우심실 기능 장애의 의미있는 표지자로 사료된다.
