Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is unusually congenital malformation consisting of an abnormal connection between a pulmonary artery and vein. It may appear as an isolated anomaly or with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasis. In the classic form, symptoms and signs are caused by the abnormal right to left shunt. since severe clinical symptoms such as paradoxical embolism, infection, and spontaneous rupture with massive bleeding may occur, surgical treatment is often indicated. Recently we have experienced a surgical treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in 54 years old housewife. She was admitted in May 1986 with recurrent hemoptysis for 1 month. On admission, the PaO2 was 65.2 mmHg without specific findings. Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula was confirmed by preoperative pulmonary arteriography. A well circumscribed cystic mass was noted in visceral subpleural and inferior lingular segment of left upper lobe. Left upper lobectomy was performed with good results. Histologically angiomatous dilatation of abnormal vessels embedded in lung parenchyma was noted. Postoperative PaO2 was 90 mmHg. Postoperative results were good.

1995년과 1996년 충남의 조피볼락 종묘생산장에서 발생한 대량폐사의 원인을 조사하였다. 병어로 부터 분리된 원인균은 생화학적 및 생물학적 특성에 의해 Vibrio ordalii로 동정되었다. 당년생과 일년생 조피볼락에 대한 병원성 조사를 위하여 수온 $18^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$에서의 감염실험을 실시한 결과 $25^{\circ}C$의 일년생 시험어에 비해 $18^{\circ}C$의 당년생 치어가 훨씬 높은 비율로 감염되었다. 이러한 결과는 양어장에서의 질병발생예를 포함한 현장조사 결과와 일치하고 있었다. 병어의 병리조직학적 관찰결과 아가미는 2차새변과 뇌의 모세혈관의 확장, 호흡상피의 박리, 간실질의 위축, 신장의 괴사가 관찰되었고 소화관계는 뚜렷한 병변이 없었다.

Objectives : The capillary destruction has frequently been used to treat telangiectasia in Korean Medicine. The objective of this study was to review of related literature concerning the capillary destruction as treatment for telangiectasia, and to discuss the clinical application of medical devices in accordance with the principles of Korean Medicine. Methods and Results : An extensive traditional literature including Huangdi Neijing were reviewed for identification of relevant evidence for treating telangiectasia. The telangiectasia is simply defined as a dilated, superficial blood vessel. It is called as the tertiary collateral vessel, superficial collateral vessel or Hyulrak(small superficial collateral vessel). The telangiectasia could be due to disturbances in the circulation of qi and blood. According to Huangdi Neijing, one of the oldest traditional literature published in 4th century B.C. through the first century A.D., it is needed to get rid of the vessel by the capillary destruction for treating telangiectasia using lance needle, shear needle, stiletto needle or moxibustion. Several studies have examined that intense pulsed light or laser as new therapeutic tools could have an sufficiently impact on aspects of improving the effectiveness of the capillary destruction. Conclusions : The capillary destruction for the treatment of telangiectasia has been used since two thousand years ago. We suggested that medical devices, such as intense pulsed light or laser, should be used to treat telangiectasia as a safe and convenient intervention in clinical practice of Korean Medicine.
