With the ligation of patent ductus arteriosus by Gross in 1938, surgeons first entered the field of congenital heart disease. Interruption of a ductus is one of the most satisfactory and curative operations in the field of surgery for congenital heart disease. 27 cases of isolated patent ductus arteriosus were operated from Jan. 1978 to July 1984 at the Department of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery in Kyung-Hee University Hospital. Retrospective clinical analysis of these patients were: 1. Sex ratio, female: male, was 2:1. 2. Mean age at operation was 9.85\ulcorner.58 years. The youngest patient was a 23 month-old girl and the oldest one was a 24 year-old male. 3. More than half of the patients had less than 50 percentile of growth retardation. 4. Chief complaints of the patients were frequent URI [52%], dyspnea on exertion [33%], generalized weakness [22%], palpitation [7%], but 7 patients [26%] had no subjective symptoms. 5. Continuous machinery murmur could be heard at the 2nd or 3rd intercostal space on the left sternal border in 22 patients [81%]. The other S patients made systolic murmur with accentuation of the second heart sound and those were associated with pulmonary hypertension. 6. Radiologic findings of Chest P-A were cardiac enlargement in 15 patients [55%], enlargement of pulmonary conus and/or increasing density of pulmonary vascularity in 20 patients [74%]. 7. Electrocardiographic findings of the patients were within normal limit in 13 patients [48%], LVH in 4 patients [15%], biventricular hypertrophy in 3 patients [11%]. 8; echocardiogram was obtained from 11 patients. Ductus was directly visualized in 7 patients. Left atrial enlargement is the secondary change of left to right shunt, 10 patients had LA/Ao ratio more than 1.2. 9. Cardiac catheterization performed in 25 patients. The mean value of the results were:SO2[PA-RV]= 14.72\ulcorner6.01%, Qp/Qs=2.22\ulcorner.80, peak systolic pulmonary arterial pressure=48.28\ulcorner1.60 mmHg. 10. 26 patients were operated through the left posterolateral thoracotomy: closure of ductus by double ligation in 14 cases, triple ligation in 5 cases, and division with suture in 8 cases. One patient suffer from aneurysmal rupture of main pulmonary artery, endocarditis, hemopericardium was treated with cardiopulmonary bypass via median sternotomy and closure of ductus through the ruptured main pulmonary artery. 11.There was no death associated with the operation, but 3 cases were experienced with intraoperative rupture around the ductus resulting in massive bleeding. The other complications were transient hoarseness in one patient, atelectasis in left lower lobe in 3 patients, and postoperative systemic hypertension in 4 patients with unknown etiology. 12. Pulse pressure was reduced, 11.47+5.92 mmHg, postoperatively, as compare to preoperative status. 13. Intraoperative wedge lung biopsy from lingular segment for the evaluation of the pulmonary vascular disease was taken in S patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. The result was Heath-Edward grade I in one case, grade II in two cases, and grade III in two cases.

수면 무호흡을 포함한 다양한 원인의 수면과 관련된 호흡장애를 동반한 환자들에서는 여러가지 심혈관계 기능부전이 초래되어 이들 환자의 임상경과에 중대한 영향을 미친다. 수면 무호흡증후군, 특히 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증후군은 수면장애의 여러 가지 원인 중 임상영역에서 가장 흔히 볼수 있는 질환으로 전신성 고혈압, 심부정맥, 폐동맥 고혈압 및 우심실 부전, 협심증 및 심근경색증, 뇌졸증등의 발병률이 정상인에 비하여 현저히 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡과 달리 중추성 수면 무호흡은 수면중에 호흡중추를 불안정하게 하는 다양한 원인에 의해 발생하며 역시 심혈관계의 기능에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 수면중에 환기장애가 더욱 악화될 수 있는 호흡기계 질환이 있는 환자들은 수면 무호흡증후군과 달리 만성적인 저산소증과 고탄산증이 동반되며 이로 인해 심부정맥, 폐동맥 고혈압, 우심실 부전(폐성심) 등의 심혈관계 이상이 초래될 수 있다. 따라서 수면 무호흡을 포함한 수면과 관련된 호홉 장애의 진단과 치료에 있어서는 호흡기계 질환에 대한 정확한 평가와 더불어 동반될 수 있는 심혈관계의 기능부전에 대한 정밀한 분석이 반드시 필요하며, 이들 자료를 바탕으로 기관절개술, 기계적 호흡, 지속적 양압공급치료, 적절한 산소요법 등의 적극적이고도 효과적인 치료법을 적용함으로서 심혈관계 합병증의 발생과 이로 인한 사망률을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose : To determine whether peri-implant crestal bone loss could be affected by systemic disease, primary ISQ value, implantation method (submerged vs. non-submerged), surface treatment, and bone density Materials and methods : Patients who underwent fixture installation from June 24, 2005 to October 23, 2008 at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital were evaluated. A total of 157 patients (male: 52, female: 85) had 346 fixtures installed. Among them, 49 patients had periapical radiographs taken 1 year after prostheses were first set. A total of 97 fixtures were implanted. In particular, 30 fixtures were installed in patients with systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and liver disease. The immediate stability of implants was measured with $Osstell^{tm}$. Implant surface treatment was classified into two groups (RBM, Cellnest (Anodized)), and bone density, into four groups (D1~D4). The bone resorption on the mesial and distal areas of fixtures was measured with periapical radiographs using the paralleling technique, and the mean value was calculated. The length determination program in IMPAX (AGFA, Belgium) was used. Results : At least 332 out of 346 (96%) installed GS II implants were successfully osseointegrated 1 year after prostheses were first set. The mean value of the bone resorption of the installed GS II implants was 0.44mm. The minimum value was 0mm, and the maximum value, 2.85mm. There was a statistically significant difference between the implantation methods (submerged, non-submerged) with regard to the amount of alveolar bone loss 1 year after prostheses were first set (p<0.05). Non-submerged implants showed less crestal bone loss. Note, however, that other variables had no correlation with crestal bone loss (p>0.05). Conclusion : There was a statistically significant difference between the 1-stage method and 2-stage method with regard to the amount of alveolar bone loss 1 year after prostheses were first set. Systemic disease, primary ISQ value, surface treatment, and bone density were not associated with alveolar bone loss. Other variables were assumed to have a correlation with alveolar bone loss.

부분 혹은 완전 무치악 환자에서 임플란트 치료가 보편화됨에 따라, 복합적인 전신질환이 있는 고령 환자들도 전통적인 총의치보다 임플란트-지지-고정성 보철물이나, 임플란트-유지-가철성 보철물을 선호하는 경향이 높아지고 있다. 본 증례의 환자는 77세 여성 환자로, 내원 당시 만성 고혈압으로 아스피린을 포함한 혈압약과 bisphosphonate 계열의 골다공증 약을 장기 복용 중이었으며, 상 하악 치조골 흡수량이 상당하였고 비대칭이 심하였다. 또한 2년 전 뇌졸중 진단을 받은 후, 우측 상반신마비로 인하여 좌측의 편측 저작만 가능하며, 팔 또한 좌측만 사용할 수 있는 상태(hemi-syndrome)이다. 초진 시 하악 총의치의 재제작만을 원하였으나, 상악 역시 잔존 치아들의 상태가 불량하여 치근을 이용할 수 있는 2개 치아를 제외한 나머지 치아들을 발거 후 치근에 의해 유지되는 피개의치를 계획하였으며, 하악에는 임플란트를 식립 후 그에 유지되는 피개의치를 계획하였다. 유지장치로는, 한 손으로도 쉽게 의치의 착탈이 가능한 자석을 선택하였다. 복용 중인 약의 전략적 중단을 통해 상악의 발치와 하악의 임플란트 식립을 시행하였고, 3개월 후 평가에서 임플란트가 주위 변연골 소실 없이 잘 유지되고 있어 자석을 이용한 피개의치를 제작, 장착하였다. 5개월 정기 검진까지 시행한 결과, 주목할 만한 합병증 없이 저작 기능 및 발음, 심미면에서 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is defined as rapidly progressive necrosis of subcutaneous fat and fascia. Although NF of the face is rare, its mortality rate is nearly 30%. It usually originates from dental infection and can lead to involvement of the neck, mediastinum, and chest wall. Complications resulting from pre-existing systemic diseases can increase the mortality rate. Known complication factors for NF include diabetes, malnutrition, advanced age, peripheral vascular disease, renal failure, and obesity. Here, we report a case of NF originating from dental infection in an 88-year-old woman already diagnosed with hypertension, thoracic aortic aneurysm, and renal diseases. Such conditions limited adequate surgical and antibiotic treatment. However, interdisciplinary treatment involving multiple departments was implemented with good results.

Purpose : Preeclampsia(PE) is a pregnancy-specific disease which is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. This disease occurs in about 2-8 % of pregnancies in developing countries and remains among the major causes of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity throughout the world. Although the causes of PE are not fully understood, the infection has been considered as the main risk factor for this diseases. Periodontal disease may provide a chronic burden of endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines and the disease has been considered as risk factors of systemic illnesses including cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and cerebrovascular ischemia. So, studies performed over the last 15 years have suggested that periodontal disease may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as PE. However, this association has not been found in all populations. The aim of this review article was to evaluate whether periodontal status and the presence of specific periodontal pathogens may influence the incidence of PE. Methods : Many research articles searched at the electronic databases(MEDLINE; 2000 to July 2017) including search term as periodontal disease and preeclampsia. Result : There were 10 case-control studies and 5 cohort studies meeting our inclusion criteria. The results showed that maternal periodontitis (adjusted odds ratio: 1.5 to 9.3) was associated with preeclampsia in 15 epidemiological studies. Conclusion : It is clear that maternal periodontitis is a risk factor associated with preeclampsia, emphasizing the importance of periodontal care in prenatal programs.

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been emerging out of the efforts to research human diseases and ethnic disparities. A semantic network is needed for in-depth understanding of the impacts of SNPs, because phenotypes are modulated by complex networks, including biochemical and physiological pathways. We identified ethnicity-specific SNPs by eliminating overlapped SNPs from HapMap samples, and the ethnicity-specific SNPs were mapped to the UCSC RefGene lists. Ethnicity-specific genes were identified as follows: 22 genes in the USA (CEU) individuals, 25 genes in the Japanese (JPT) individuals, and 332 genes in the African (YRI) individuals. To analyze the biologically functional implications for ethnicity-specific SNPs, we focused on constructing a semantic network model. Entities for the network represented by "Gene," "Pathway," "Disease," "Chemical," "Drug," "ClinicalTrials," "SNP," and relationships between entity-entity were obtained through curation. Our semantic modeling for ethnicity-specific SNPs showed interesting results in the three categories, including three diseases ("AIDS-associated nephropathy," "Hypertension," and "Pelvic infection"), one drug ("Methylphenidate"), and five pathways ("Hemostasis," "Systemic lupus erythematosus," "Prostate cancer," "Hepatitis C virus," and "Rheumatoid arthritis"). We found ethnicity-specific genes using the semantic modeling, and the majority of our findings was consistent with the previous studies - that an understanding of genetic variability explained ethnicity-specific disparities.

Objectives: This study aimed to understand the nationwide patterns of antibiotic prescription after tooth extraction in adult patients. Materials and Methods: This study analyzed dental records from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort (NHIS-NSC) database on 503,725 tooth extractions performed in adults (≥19 years) during 2011-2015. Patient sex, age, household income, systemic disease (diabetes mellitus and hypertension), type of dental institution, region of dental institution, year of prescription, and type of tooth extraction procedure were considered. The antibiotic prescription rate and broad-spectrum antibiotic prescription frequency were analyzed using chi-squared tests. Factors affecting the prescription of broad-spectrum antibiotics were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: The rate of antibiotic prescription after tooth extraction was 81.85%. Penicillin was most commonly prescribed (45.25%), followed by penicillin with beta-lactamase inhibitors (18.76%), metronidazole (12.29%), and second- to fourth-generation cephalosporins (11.52%). The proportion of broad-spectrum antibiotics used among all prescribed antibiotics was 45.88%. Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that the rate of antibiotic prescription after tooth extraction is higher in Korea than in other countries. Furthermore, broad-spectrum antibiotics are used more frequently, which may indicate unnecessary drug prescription, an important contributor to antibiotic resistance.
