본 연구의 목적은 지방 환자의 서울 지역 입원진료의 추이를 파악하고 그 요인을 규명하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 2005년 및 2008년 환자조사 입원자료를 이용하였으며, 서울지역 거주 환자를 제외하고 2005년 333,280명, 2008년 419,873명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 자료분석은 기술통계, 카이제곱 검정, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 2005년 대비 2008년 성별, 연령별, 의료기관 유형 등 일반적 특성의 분포는 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 지방 환자의 서울지역 이용은 다소 증가한 것으로 나타났으며, 서울 지역 입원진료는 남자, 중장년층 건강보험환자가 타기관에서 의뢰되어 외래를 통해 입원하며, 주 거주지가 경기, 강원, 충북, 충남, 제주지역 순으로, 광역시는 상대적으로 낮았다. 질병군별로는 선천성 기형, 신생물, 종양이나 수술후 추후치료, 눈 질환, 혈액 조혈 면역기 질환, 근골격계 질환 순으로 지방환자의 서울지역 의료기관 입원 이용률이 높았다. 그러나 상대적으로 지방 입원진료 확률이 높은 노년층, 의료급여, 응급경유, 질병군별로 중증도가 높은 환자가 혼재되어 있어 있을 가능성이 있어 향후 중증도 보정에 대한 심층 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this paper is to visualize and to analyze differences of regional mortality rates by major causes of death. We use causes of death statistics from KOSIS and compare regional mortality rates divided by national mortality rates by three causes of death. To do this, we define regional mortality ratio and regional age-standardized mortality ratio, and visualized by choropleth map using R. As a result, In case of neoplasm, there was no significant difference by region. In case of circulatory system, Ulsan, Daegu, Busan and Gyungnam showed relatively high regional age-standardized mortality ratio. In case of respiratory system, the ratios were in order of Gangwon, Sejong, and Chungbuk.

Extramedullary hematopoiesis is a common compensatory mechanism of chronic anemia, but an asymptomatic posterior mediastinal mass is rarely diagnosed as an extramedullary hematopoiesis after surgical resection. The differential from neurogenic tumors is important, but fine needle aspiration biopsy is not recommended because of the difficulty of approach and risk of bleeding. Although diagnosis and treatment can involve resection via thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracic surgery may also be a useful strategy. We performed video-assisted thoracic surgery on a 59-year-old man for posterior mediastinal extramedullary hematopoiesis, with no evidence of recurrence or related hematologic diseases.

We report on two premature infants who developed nosocomial infection caused by Chryseobacterium meningosepticum in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). One premature infant developed sepsis, meningitis, and hydrocephalus, and was treated successfully with ciprofloxacin plus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole combination therapy for 4 weeks and with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The other premature infant, who was in a chronically debilitated state, had infection that had colonized only in the respiratory tract but had no clinical signs for 66 days. Extensive environmental surveillance demonstrated that the suction bottle apparatus was the source of infection. We prevented the spread of infection by closing the NICU temporarily, isolating the patients early in their infection, and eradicating the source of infection source.

Pleuropulmonary blastoma is a rare malignant neoplasm which originates from either the lungs or pleura. Pleuropulmonary blastoma usually develops in the first decade of life, mostly younger than 5 years old and shows aggressive biological behavior. Pleuropulmonary blastoma is discriminated from classic pulmonary blastoma of adulthood by its morphological features like primitive mesenchymal and sarcomatous component without carcinomatous portions. To our knowledge, report of pleuropulmonary blastoma in adulthood is very rare. Our case support the possibility that primitive neoplasm recognized as pediatric tumors can develop in adulthood. We report a case of surgical experience of pleuropulmonary blastoma which developed in 21 years old man with literature review.

There are varying opinions about theories that the middle ear of Neonates is filled with mucous or other Material that interference with normal mobility of the middle ear system. DeDMon reported on the acoustic reflex as a tool for Neonatal screening, and Keith investigated the Middle ear function of Neonates during first few hours of life with an Electroacoustic impedance bridge. There are no reports on Neonstes in Impedance Audiometry in Korea. We tested 100 Neonates less than 24 hours old and this paper is dealt with its study related with tympanogram, static compliance and acoustic reflex.

The melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy(MNTI) is a rare childhood neoplasm with a clinical presentation. Because of its rapid growth pattern and bone resorption, the lesion can be mistaken for a malignant neoplasm. Although an aggressive growth rate and radiographic appearance, the MNTI almost always behaves in a benign fashion and can be treated with total excision. We presented the MNTI occured in the left maxillary alveolar ridge of 5 month old female infant. showing bluish enlargenent of alveolar mucosa with the displacement of central decidious incisor. And after the surgical excision of the mass, there is no recurrent tendency.

A metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma originating from the parotid gland is a rare form of neoplasm. The neoplasm is a histologically benign, but clinically controversial entity. Herein, a case report of a pleuro-pneumonectomy of a metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma in the right lung is described. A 57-year-old man, who underwent resection of parotid gland due to a pleomorphic adenoma, presented with multiple metastases on the right lung, mediastinum, pericardium and intercostal muscle. The metastatic lesions were composed of a benign pleomorphic structure.

The cause of a pilonidal cyst is unclear, and treatment is still under debate. In Korea, the incidence of this disease is lower than that of Western countries, and it has often been misdiagnosed as a simple abscess. When pilonidal cysts are diagnosed, the principle of treatment is not to leave a residue, and a wide excision is needed to reduce the recurrence rate. This paper introduces a wide excision technique using Indigo-carmine dye to minimize the recurrence of a pilonidal cyst.

Since Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was introduced in the 1980s, EUS has evolved from a diagnostic tool to a therapeutic modality for patients with pancreatic neoplasms. Traditionally, treatment policy of pancreatic benign neoplasms (PBN) has been a dichotomous approach to observation or surgery. However, EUS guided treatment provides an alternative option with minimally invasiveness for patients with PBN. This review aimed to provide the role of EUS guided treatment for PBN.
