Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be used in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock or respiratory failure. In South Korea, the need for transporting ECMO patients is increasing. Nonetheless, information on urgent transportation and its outcomes is scant. Methods: In this retrospective review of 5 years of experience in ECMO transportation at a single center, the clinical outcomes of transported patients were compared with those of in-hospital patients. The effects of transportation and the relationship between insertion-departure time and survival were also analyzed. Results: There were 323 cases of in-hospital ECMO (in-hospital group) and 29 cases transferred to Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital without adverse events (mobile group). The median transportation time was 95 minutes (interquartile range [IQR], 36.5-119.5 minutes), whereas the median transportation distance was 115 km (IQR, 15-115 km). Transportation itself was not an independent risk factor for 28-day mortality (odds ratio [OR], 0.818; IQR, 0.381-1.755; p=0.605), long-term mortality (OR, 1.099; IQR, 0.680-1.777; p=0.700), and failure of ECMO weaning (OR, 1.003; IQR, 0.467-2.152; p=0.995) or survival to discharge (OR, 0.732; IQR, 0.337-1.586; p=0.429). After adjustment for covariates, no significant difference in the ECMO insertion-departure time was found between the survival and mortality groups (p=0.435). Conclusion: The outcomes of urgent transportation, with active involvement of the ECMO center before ECMO insertion and adherence to the transport protocol, were comparable to those of in-hospital ECMO patients.

배경: 수술수기와 심근보호법의 발달로 인하여 최근 관상동맥우회로 이식술의 수술성적이 향상되고 있지만 술후 사망과 이환에 직면하고 있는 일부 환자들은 점점 증가하고 있어 수술후 이환과 사망에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 대상 및 방법: 저자들은 관상동맥우회로 이식술을 받은 총 137명을 대상으로 술전 위험요인과 술후 이환 및 사망(이하 이환)과의 관계를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 수술전 위험요인으로는 나이, 성별, 술전심근경색, 응급수술, 좌심실박출계수, 비만 그리고 3혈관 질환 등 7개의 변수를 선택하였으며 수술후 이환은 부정맥, 상처감염, 뇌손상, 술후입원기간의 장기화, 폐렴, 급성신부전증, 인공호흡기의 장기간 사용 그리고 수술사망 등으로 하고 이중 하나만 발생하여도 이환이 있다고 간주하였다. 결과: 전체 환자의 평균 나이는 56.7세였고, 27세부터 74세까지의 분포를 보였다. 전체 환자의 수술사망률은 6.6%였고 이중 계획수술은 3.9%(5/128), 응급 또는 긴급수술은 44.4%(4/9)의 사망률을 보였다. 65세 이상의 환자에서 이환율은 65세 미만의 환자보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 성별에 의한 이환율의 차이는 없었으나 수술 사망률은 여자(5/41, 12.19%)에게서 남자(4/96, 4.17%)보다 더 높게 나타났다. 응급수술의 이환율은 100%로 계획수술의 환자에서보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 술전 좌심실 박출계수가 50% 미만인 환자에서 50% 이상인 환자보다 사망률이 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 결론: 결론적으로 관상동맥우회로 이식술 후 이환의 위험요인은 65세 이상의 고령과 응급 또는 긴급수술이었고 수술사망의 위험요인은 50% 미만의 술전 좌심실 박출계수와 응급 또는 긴급수술이었다.

1. Objective This study is aimed to present the effective classification of Soeumin symptomatology and the standardized signs for classification which can be applied for KCD, ICD and the insurance codification system. 2. Methods 1) Differentiate Soeumin symptomatology based on exterior-interior patterns, favorable-unfavorable patterns, and mild-severe-dangerous-urgent patterns. 2) Investigate the standard signs and symptoms to claasify Soeumin symptomatology based on exterior-interior patterns, favorable-unfavorable patterns, and mild-severe-dangerous-urgent patterns. 3. Results and Conclusions 1) The diagnosis criteria for Soeumin exterior-interior disease is based upon signs & symptoms of cold/heat, condition of stool, state of digestive system(such as digestion and appetite)among others. 2) The diagnosis criteria for Soeumin favorable-unfavorable disease is generally based upon whether the vital force of the spleen is damaged or not. More specifically, for the exterior disease, whether or not sweating is present. For the interior disease, whether or not dry mouth, body ache(a main symptom of the exterior state), and anxiousness are present. 3) For the Soeumin Wool-gwang disease, the diagnosis criteria of mild-severe disease is whether or not chills is present and the degree of body fever. 4) For Soeumin Mang-yang disease, the diagnosis criteria of dangerous-urgent disease is whether or not chills is, the degree of sweating and urine condition. 5) For the Soeumin Greater-Yin disease, Abdominal-pain bowel irritability pattern and Epigastric discomfort pattern are early state signs, Jaundice pattern is mild-state sign, edema & Greater-Yang disease Yin-toxin pattern are terminal state signs. 6) For the Soeumin interior disease, Abdominal-pain bowel irritability pattern and Epigastric discomfort pattern are of the dangerous state pattern, Jang-gual and Exuberant-Yin-repelling-Yang pattern are of the urgent state patterns.

Colon cancer is one of the most common malignancies in humans, and the search for effective chemopreventive agents is an important and urgent task. Expression levels of inflammation-related enzymes, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) are elevated in colon cancers, and their products, prostaglandins and nitric oxide, are suggested to be involved in colon carcinogenesis.(omitted)
