자연기흉은 장측 늑막 기포의 공기 유출로 인해 폐가 허탈된 상태이다. 폐쇄식 흉강삽관술,흉강천자술 및 단순한 관찰이 효과적인 치료이다. 그러나 이러한 치료가 비효과적일 때, 개홉술을 하게된다. 저자들은 자연 기흉이 흉부외과적 영역에서 매우 흔하게 접하는 질환이기에, 개흉례의 수술 적응증에 따른 병리소견을 비교함이 향후 수술적응에 도움이 될것으로 생각되어 본 연구를 시작했다. 1988년부터 1996년까지 9년동안 마산삼성병원 흉부외과에 입원 치료한 기흉 환자 중에서 개흉술을 시행한 242례(236명)에 관한 임상적 고찰을 하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 남녀비는 11.7:1로 남자가 현저히 우세했다. 2. 가장 빈발한 연령층은 10대와 20대이었다(10대=29.3%,20대=30.2%). 3. 가장 흔한 증상은 흉통과 호흡곤란이었다(흉통=41.7%,호흡곤란=36.8%). 4. 자연기흉의 원인은 원발성 자연기흉(86.4%)이 제일 많았고, 속발성 자연기흉으로는 결핵(9.1%),폐기종 및 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환(3.7%) 등이 있었다. 5. 자연기흉의 발생위치는 우측 52.1% 좌측 45.4%, 양측 2.5%이었다. 6. 개흉술의 가장 흔한 적응증은 재발(44.2%), 지속적 공기유출(31.8%) 및 奴舅\ulcorner폐확장이었다(15.7%). 7. 수술수기는 후흉회측절개 및 정중흉골절개를 통한 개흉술을 주로 시행했다. 8. 수술시 기포가 가장 많았던 곳은 우상엽 첨구역(35.1%)와 좌상엽 후첨구역(41.3%)이었다. 9. 수술시 기포수는 대개 1~5개(88%)이었고, 수술 적응증에 따른 차이는 없었다. 10. 수술시 기포 크기는 대개 5cm(81%) 기하였으며, 수술적응증이 재발된 기흉이었던 경우는 작은 기포(1cm 이하)가 많았고, 지속적 공기유출 및 불완전 확장이었던 경우는 비교적 큰기포(5cm초과)가 많았다. 11, 늑막유착은 54.5%에서 있었고,수술적응증이 재발인 경우 64.1%, 지속적 공기 유출인 경우 11.9%,불완전 확장인 경우 47.4%이 었다

Postoperative hypoxemia in the absence of hypoventilation occurs more often after thoracic or upper abdominal surgery than lower abdominal operations or surgery on extremities. Although the factors which produce postoperative alveolar collapse have not been fully evaluated, the dominant factor of postoperative hypoxemia is shunt of blood passing collapsed alveoli and the postoperative pain is associated with restriction of depth of breathing, sighing and movement. In 1979, the first successful clinical usage of epidurally administered morphine for control of postoperative pain was reported by Behar and associates. This study was carried out for twenty patients who received posterolateral thoracostomy with bleb resection between May 1990 and May 1991 and who were primary spontaneous recurrent pneumothoraxes under general endotracheal anesthesia. For the relief of post-thoracotomy pain following of the general anesthesia, we selected ten patients as control group which were treated intermittently IM with injection of pethidine(50 mg) according to the conventional method and another ten patients as study group which were managed with thoracic epidural analgesia. The tip of the catheter was inserted to T4-5 epidural space through T12-L1 or L1-2 interspinous region before the induction of the general anesthesia and then the epidural analgesics(0.25% bupivacaine 15 ml+morphine 3 mg) was injected once a day via the catheter until 4 th POD in the study group. The epidural catheters were removed at postoperative 4 th day in study group. Clinical observations were done about vital signs, ABG, tidal volume, FVC and occurence of adverse effects during postoperative 2hr, 8hr, 1st day, 2nd day, 7th day in both groups. The results were as follows; (1) The values of $V_T$ and FVC were significantly improved in study group(85% and 66%) as compared with control group(76% and 61%) during the postoperative 4 day of the epidural analgesia. (2) After the end of the epidural analgesia(7th POD), the values of FVC were improved invertly rather in control group(98%) than study group(84%). It suggested that the reduction of FVC in study group were caused by the raised pain sensitivity following the end of epidural analgesia. (3) The side effects of epidural analgesia such as transient urinary retention(2 cases), itching sensation(1) and headache(1) were noted.

Celiac artery compression is a rare condition in which the celiac artery is compressed by the median arcuate ligament. Case reports of compression after trauma are hard to find. Blunt traumatic pericardium rupture is also a rare condition. We report a single patient who experienced both rare conditions from a single blunt injury. An 18-year-old woman was brought to the trauma center after a fatal motorcycle accident, in which she was a passenger. The driver was found dead. Her vital signs were stable, but she complained of mild abdominal pain, chest wall pain, and severe back pain. There were no definite neurologic deficits. Her initial computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple rib fractures, moderate lung contusions with hemothorax, moderate liver injury, and severe lumbar spine fracture and dislocation. She was brought to the angiography room to check for active bleeding in the liver, which was not apparent. However, the guide wire was not able to pass through the celiac trunk. A review of the initial CT revealed kinking of the celiac trunk, which was assumed to be due to altered anatomy of the median arcuate ligament caused by spine fractures. Immediate fixation of the vertebrae was performed. During recovery, her hemothorax remained loculated. Suspecting empyema, thoracotomy was performed at 3 weeks after admission, revealing organized hematoma without pus formation, as well as rupture of the pericardium, which was immediately sutured, and decortication was carried out. Five weeks after admission, she had recovered without complications and was discharged home.

Background: Opioid delivered by epidural patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) is effective in relieving pain after surgery, but it is associated with side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, respiratory depression, and urinary retention. The purpose of this study was to compare hydromorphone related side effects and the quality of analgesia when naloxone was added to epidural PCA regimen. Methods: Fifty-two thoracotomy patients with PCA were allocated blindly into two groups. Patients in group H (n = 26) received continuous epidural hydromorphone ($16{\mu}g/ml$) in 0.1% bupivacaine; patients in group N (n = 26) received an epidural infusion containing naloxone ($2{\mu}g/ml$) and hydromorphone ($16{\mu}g/ml$) in 0.1% bupivacaine. The basal rate of PCA was 4 ml/hr and the demand dose was 1.5 ml with a lockout time of 15 min. Pain intensity, sedation, pruritus, nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression were checked at 6, 12, 24 hours postoperatively. Results: The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores were significantly lower in group H than in group N. There were no significant differences in the overall incidence of pruritus, nausea and sedation between the two groups. Conclusions: Continuous epidural infusion of naloxone combined with hydromorpho-ne is not effective in reducing the incidence and severity of pruritus induced by epidural hydromorphone.

This study was carried out for twenty patients who received posterolateral thoracostomy with Bled resection between May 1990 and May 1991 and who were primary spontaneous recurrent pneumothoraxes. We selected ten of twenty patients, one after the other and treated with epidural analgesia as study group and the remainder ten were grouped as control. Epidural catheters were inserted for study group before operation through T12-L1, 2 interspinous process at the pain clinic or operation room by anesthesiogist and then the drugs[0.25% Bupivacaine 15ml mixing with morphine 3mg] were instillated through the catheter before extubarion and once a day until 4th day, and the patients of control group were treated intermittently by Demerol 50mg intramuscularly for postoperative pain control. The epidural catheters were removed at postoperative 4th day. Observations were done about vital aigns, a-BGA, tidal volume, FVC and occurence of adverse effects during postoperative 2hr, 8hr, 1st day, 2nd day, 7th day in both groups. The results were as follows; [1] Tidal volume[85.1$\pm$29.8%R VS 60.8$\pm$20.5%R, p<0.05] and FVC[53.7$\pm$14.2%R, VS 35.5$\pm$9.l%R, p<0.01] were significantly improved in study group compared with control group during the first day of operation. [2] But the improvement of FVC was delayed after stopping of epidural analgesia[postoperative 7th day, 97.5$\pm$12.3%R VS 83.9$\pm$15.6%R, P <0.05]. [3] Others were statistically not significant. [4] The side effects of epidural analgesia were identified such as urinary retention[2 cases], itching sensation[1 case] and headache[1 case], but there was no need for active treatments.

The clinical and pathological analysis of solitary pulmonary nodules were estimated in 35 patients with nodules who were surgically resected at the Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of Chonnam National University Hospital from July 1978 to Aug. 1989. The results were as follows: 1. Mean age of patients was 43.5 years extending from 11 years to fi7 years old and male to female ratio was 6: l. 2. Preoperative symptoms were complained of dull pain in the chest, cough, hemoptysis and general weakness in 69% of patients. 3. The histopathologic findings of surgically resected nodules showed benign nodule in 51% and malignancy 49%. The most frequent diseases were granuloma[67%] in benign nodules and squamous cell carcinoma[76%] in malignancy. In topographical region of nodules in the lung, benign granuloma was more prevalent in upper lobes, while malignancy was slightly more frequent in lower lobes. 4. The incidence of malignancy by age was extremely rare in patients with less than 35 years old, but in greater than 35 years of age, malignancy comprised up to 67% of patients. 5. Complications of thoracotomy were minor bleedings, wound infections and chest pain not to be required any reoperation except one patient died of sudden onset of arrhythmia after pneumonectomy.

개흉술후 동통으로 발생할 수 있는 술후 합병증을 예방하고 동통을 경감시킬 수 있는 방법중의 하나인 마약성 진통제의 정주요법으로 술후 괄목할만한 진통효과를 보았다. 총 30명의 후측방 개흉술 및 늑골절제를 시행받은 환자를 대상으로 통상적인 진통제의 근주를 시행한 환자 10명을 I 군으로, 경막외 신경차단을 시행한 환자 10명을 II군으로 그리고 환자 자가조절에 의한 지속적 정주 요법을 시행한 환자 10명 III군으로 구분하여 조사하였다. 연구 결과는 혈압, 심박수, 호흡수 및 동맥혈 가스 분석상 세 군간에 유의한 차이는 없었으나 II군과 III 군이 I군보다 기침 및.심호흡을 현저하게 잘하였다. 술후 2시간 후의 일회호흡량(tidal volume)의 회복률은 I군이 58.2$\pm$5.9%, II군이 77.9$\pm$ 11.7%, III군이 84.1 :5.8%로, III군은 II군보다, II군은 I군보다 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 술후 2,8시간 후에 실시한 노력성 폐활량(forced vital capacity)의 회복률은 II군 및 III군 은 비슷하였으나, 각각 I군보다는 통계학적으로 유의하게 호전되었다(p< 0.05). 수술후의 통증은 II, III군 이 I군에 비하여 현저하게 감소하였으며, 수술측 부위의 운동도 원할하였고, 진통제 투여량에서도 I군보 다 감소 소견을 보였으며 수술후 회복도 보다 용이 하였다. 결론적으로 마약성 진통제의 지속적 정주요법 은 술후 폐기능 회복과 동통 완화 효과가 우수하였으며, 경막외 신경차단법과 비슷한 결과를 보였으나 수 술직후 2시간째의 폐기능 회복률에 있어서는 마약성 진통제의 정주요법이 경막외 신경차단법 보다 다소 효과가 좋았다..0%로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 조직형별 5년 생존율은 편평상피세포암이 43.1%, 선암이 23.3%, 거대세포암이 30.3%였다(p>0.05).치료법이며 앞으로 장기적인 추적검사가 필요하리라 생각된다.ricuspid valve pouch 19례), 우심실 유출로폐쇄(4례), 아급성심내막염(1례) 및 동반질환을 부가적인 수술적응으로 삼았다. 6. 수술후 관찰결과 사망률은 없었고, 잔존 심실중격결손증도 없었다. 이상의 결과로 경삼첨판륜 절개방법(TATV)은 삼침판맹낭을 가지고 있는 막성주위형 심실중격결손증 (PMVSD) 수술시 좋은 방법이며, 또한 막성주위형 심실중격결손증(PMVSD)에서 수술시 시야를 좋게하고 수술후 삼첨판폐쇄부전에 악영향을 미치지 않는 결과로 안전하고 효과적인 방법으로 사료된다.량치가 뜻하는 의 미는 서로 달랐으며, 암조직내에서 대조조직내보다 CYFRA 21-1 치가 더 낮게 나온 것은 암세포내 에서는 세 포질 성분의 고갈로 인한 것으로 추정되며 암세포의 활동성과는 무관한 것으로 판단된다. EGF-R은 세포벽내에 존재하는 수용체로서 암세포의 증식에 따라 증가하는 양상을 보이며 대조조직보다는 암세포에서 유의한 증가를 보이는 것은 종양 증식과 암표지자로서 의의가 있는 것으로 판단된다.것이 수술 결과를 좋게 하는 방법이라고 사료된다.료의 축적을 통한 신생대동맥근위부 확쏭 진행여부에 주의를 기울여야하겠다.록 mosaic 형태로 외래유전자가 발현되었지만 대조구에서 87.0% (26/30개) 배반포기가 $\beta$-Gal 활력을 보인 반면, G418 처리구에서는 모든 배반포기가 $\beta$-Gal 활력을 보였다 (P<0.05). 그러나 대조구 및 G418 처리구의

Endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy (ETS) has recently become estabilished as a successful treatment for severe palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis. Descriptions have been published of neurolytic, operative and alternative endoscopic procedures involving thermocoagulation, laser coagulation, or or nonvideo-assisted ganglionectomy using equipment not widely available, with low morbidity and excellent results. All methods have advantage and disadvantages. A 19-year-old male who suffered from severe hyperhidrosis on face, palms and axillary areas, has been initially treated with stellate ganglion block in other pain clinic. He was transfered to our pain clinic for endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy. The patient was intubated left side 34 Fr. double lumen tube and positioned left semi-lateral position for right sympathectomy. Right side pneumothorax was created by clamping the ipsilateral side of the double lumen tube and aspiration of air. 11-mm trocar was introduced through incision at the third intercostal space in anterior axillary line, and then additional two 11-mm and 5-mm trocar was introduced through second and fifth intercostal space in mid axillary line. The lung was gently retracted and the parietal pleura over the heads of the appropriate ribs excised using 5-mm sharp insulated coagulating microprocesss. The T4, T3, and T2 ganglions, as well as accompanying rami communicantes, and other branchs arising from upper thoracic nerves to the brachial plexus and surrounding tissues were carefully dissected, coagulated. During sympathectomy, skin temperature of middle was continuously monitored. Elevation of palmar skin temperature intraoperatively indicated an adequate sympathectomy with a definite therapeutic effect. A No. 28 Fr. thoracotomy tube was introduced through a troca under video guidance, placed under water seal after the lung was reinflated. the controlateral side was performed same procedure. After bilateral sympathectomy, chest tubes were removed, and then, he was discharged 2 days after operation with great satisfaction. The ETS provides a well-tolerated, cost-effective alternative to thoracic sympathectomy for primary hyperhidrosis and sympathetic mediated neuropathic pain disorder. And T2 ganglion is considered the key ganglion for the treatment of primary hyperhidrosis. The low incidence of compensatory sweating may by explained by the limited extent of the sympathectomy.
