Background: We wanted to examine the clinical characteristics of adult patients with tracheobronchial foreign bodies (FBs) according to the risk of aspiration and the outcomes of intervention with using a fiberoptic bronchoscope. Methods: From December 1994 through December 2004 at Kyung Hee Medical Center, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 29 adult patients with FBs that were identified by using a fiberoptic bronchoscope. Results: 14 patients were not at risk of aspiration, whereas 15 had cerebrovascular diseases and they were at a high risk of aspiration. No history suggestive of FB aspiration was noted in 7 (24.1%) patients. Respiratory symptom(s) were noted in 22 patients, and these symptoms were cough (62.0%), dyspnea (44.8%), fever (20.7%), wheezing (13.8%), chest pain (10.3%) and hemoptysis (0.4%). Only 60% of those patients at a high risk of aspiration had symptom(s) (92.8% of those patients without a risk of aspiration had symptoms, p=0.005). Those patients at risk for aspiration had a longer duration of symptoms (median: 4 days vs. 2 days for those patients not at risk for aspiration, p=0.007) before diagnosis. Acute respiratory symptom(s) within 3 days after aspiration were more frequent in the patients without a risk of aspiration (9 vs. 4, respectively p=0.048). Chest x-ray revealed radiological abnormalities in 23 patients, and these were opacities suspicious of FB (n=11), pneumonia (n=8), air trapping (n=5) and atelectasis (n=3). There were no differences in radiological findings according to the risk of aspiration. FB aspiration developed most commonly during medical procedures (57.1% for the patients at risk) and during eating (35.7% for the patients without risk). The most common FB materials were teeth (n = 11). Alligator jaw biopsy forceps (n = 23) was the most commonly used equipment. All of the FBs were removed without significant complications. Conclusion: This study underlines that a tracheobronchial FB in the patients who are at a high risk of aspiration are more likely to overlooked because of the more gradual onset of symptoms and the symptoms develop iatrogenically in many cases.
The authors have been performed a statistical survey for 228 cases with foreign bodies in the food and air passages who had visited the department of Otolaryngology, National Medical Center and removed endoscopically during the period of last 10 years from 1966 to 1975. The following results were obtained: 1. The total numbers of foreign bodies in the food and the air passages were 228 cases, and among of them 181 cases were foreign bodies in the food passage and 47 cases were foreign bodies in the air passage. The ratio between the food and the air passages was about 3.7 : 1. 2. The prevalent foreign bodies in the esophagus were coin, meat and food particles and bone in order of frequency. In air passage, bean and peanut were most prevalent foreign bodies and the next were metalic substances, fish bone in order of frequency. 3. In the age incidence, 65.4% of the esophageal foreign bodies and 67.6% of foreign bodies in the air passage were under 5 years of age especially coin, 92.9%. 4. In sex distribution, 99 cases were female, and the ratio between male and female was 1.3:1. There was no significant difference between male and female in the foreign bodies of the esophagus but the foreign bodies in the air passage were more prevalent in male as the ratio of 2.1:1. 5. The most prevalent site of lodgement in esophagus was first physiologic narrowing of the esophagus as the count of 83.8%. In foreign bodies of the air passage, bronchial foreign bodies were most frequent. And bronchial foreign bodies were more frequent in the right side as the ratio of 3.7:1. 6. In duration of lodgement, 56.0% of foreign bodies of the food passage were removed within 24 hours and almost of them were removed within 5 days. In foreign bodies in the air passage, only 32.4% were removed within 24 hours but 29.7% were removed within more than 1 week in the air passage. 7. Under the esophagoscope, granulation tissue were noted in the 5 cases of the foreign bodies in the esophagus due to foreign bodies. In foreign bodies of the air passage, complication were encountered in the 4 cases and also removed surgically and among of them, 2 patients were expired due to complications during post operative course.
We have observed 74 cases of radiolucent foreign bodies in food and air passage in E. N. T. department of Hang Gang Sacred Hospital, from Jan. 1972 to Mar. 1983. The following results were obtained. 1) Distribution of location was 56 cases(75.6 %) in food passage and 18 cases (24.4 %) in air passage. 2) In age distribution, 46 cases (82.1 %) of F. B. in food passage were found in patient over 21 years old and 12 cases (66.7 %) of F. B. in air passage were found in patient under 5 years old. 3) Female seems to be more frequently involved than male in cases of F. B. of food passage and in cases of air passage, male is more frequent. Food passage male: female - - - 25 : 31 Air passage male: female - - - 10 : 8 4) Meats was the most frequent foreign body in food passage (19 cases-33.9%), and the bony pieces was next (17 cases-30.4 %). Plastic material was the most frequent foreign body in air passage (9 cases-49.9 %), and the vegetable seed was the second (4cases-22.0 %). 5) In the location of F. B. in food passage, the first narrowing of the esophagus was the most frequent site and in air passage, the bronchus-especially right bronchus-was the most frequent site. 6) In the duration of lodgement, 44 cases(78.6 %) of F.B. in food passage were visited with - in 24 hours, and 11 cases (61 %) of F. B. in air passage were visited with - in 24 hours. 7) Simple chest PA was checked in all patient and then, esophagogram was checked in 34 cases of F.B. in food passage, among them positive finding was noticed in 23 cases. 8) Removal of F. B. in food passage by esophagoscopy was performed in 54 cases (96.4 %), but in the cases of air passage, removal of F. B. by bronchoscopy was performed in 14 cases (77.8 %). 9) Complications of food passage by the F. B. itself or esophagoscopy were esophageal mucosal laceration (1 cases-1.8 %) and esophageal perforation (1 case -1. 8 %) and complication of air passage by F. B. itself or bronchoscopy were atelectasis (2 cases -11.1 %) and pneumonia (3 cases-16.7 %).
Foreign bodies in food and air passage, especially the latter in infants and children requires emergency treatment. The frequent symptoms are coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea, So may be confused as asthma, pneumonia and acute Laryngitis. The species and incidence of the foregin bodies are variable according to the age, method of life, environment and economic condition. The authors experienced 35 cases of foreign body in air passage during the period of last 3yrs which were treated by ventilating Bronchoscopy, and thoractomy in this hospital. One of them was lead to death. The authors analysed above cases and report with it's literature consideration. Results: 1. The prevalent foreign bodies were peanut, metal, food particles in order of frequency. 2. In frequent symptoms were dyspnea, coughing and wheezing in the order. 3. In the age incidence, 48% of the foreign bodies were 1∼5yrs. 4. In sex distribution, male to female ratio was 2.1: 1 5. In duration of lodgment, 65% of the foreign body were removed within 24hrs. 6. Most prevalent site of the foreign body was Rt. main bronchus Rt. to Lt. ratis was 2 : 1 was 7. Treatment was done; 25 cases were by ventilating bronchoscopy.

Nuclear fuel requires high reliability and safety and therefore contains debris filtering devices to prevent failure-inducing debris from entering it. The debris filtering performance of nuclear fuel is one of the most important factors for fuel integrity. Therefore, the performance must be evaluated and the measurement must be reasonable. In this study, a calculation method of the comprehensive filtering efficiency using the weighted mean was proposed to establish a standard filtering efficiency index. To confirm the suitability of the proposed method, representative debris specimens were selected and the filtering efficiency with the weighted mean was compared with the efficiency of the arithmetic mean. The weighting factor of the weighted mean was introduced to produce a fair evaluation. In addition, the analysis of the debris filtering mechanism was performed according to the size of debris specimens, and the main dimensions of the filtering feature for commercial nuclear fuel.
Foreign bodies in the air way are not uncommon conditions in the otolaryngological fields. Numerous cases are reported by many authors. This case report is concerned with five cases of various respiratory tract foreign bodies removed under the bronchoscopic control, recently experienced by authors. Case 1; A metal zipper was found at the right main bronchus and was removed by brochoscopy in a 10 year-old-boy. Case 2; A stainless coverage piece of a umbrella was packed at the right main bronchus in the 5-year-old boy and was removed by bronchoscopy. Case 3; A half splitted peanut in the right main bronchus was removed by bronchoscopy in a 18 months-old baby. Case 4; A apple see dcase was lodged in the right main bronchus and was removed by bronchoscopy in a 6 months-old baby. Case 5; A hairpin was also lodged in the right mainbronchus and was removed by bronchoscopy in a 5 year-old boy.
The foreign bodies in the food passage and airway are very important in the Otolaryngological field, and practically there are many reports of them. Also the kinds of these foreign bodies are variable and almost all things around us are likely to be foreign bodies by momentary mistake. According to kinds and locations, clinicians often make mistakes in diagnosis with other physical examination except endoscopy, so foreign body was impacted for a long time and sometimes it may bring a grave outcome to the patient. The authors have recently experienced, in a 13-year-old boy, a pink-colored plastic pencil cap in the right main bronchus which was very similar to the color and shape of the bronchial lumen, and so we had some difficulty in removal of it. This is the report of clinical findings on this case along with literature review.
Foreign bodies in the air and food passages are perhaps considered as one of the most frequently observed accidental case in the fields of otolaryngology, and interestingly enough, its mechanism of occurence is well reflected upon our environment and way of daily living. Recently, we experienced a case of foreign body in the right main bronchus of 3 year-old boy, which was successfully removed bronchoscopically.

Purpose : Childhood accidents have been increasing recently. Accidents rank as the leading cause of childhood mortality and morbidity. We performed this study to evaluate the causes of childhood accidents. Methods : The authors analysed retrospectively the medical records of 6,410 cases of childhood accidental injuries who visited the emergency room of Asan Medical Center from January 1990 to December 1999. Results : The most common type of accidents was trauma which accounted for 5,038 cases of the total accidents, followed by falls, burns, foreign body aspiration, and poisoning. The most common age of foreign body aspiration was under two years old and the male to female ratio was 2 to 1. The most common site of foreign body aspiration was the esophagus and the stomach, followed by the respiratory tract. In airways, the right and left main bronchus were the most common site for foreign body aspiration and were accompanied by the highest mortality. The most common foreign body in the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract were coins and peanuts, respectively. Conclusion : The most common cause of accidents was trauma, followed by falls, burns, foreign body aspiration, and poisoning. The incidence of foreign body aspiration and poisoning is increasing in infants. In cases of foreign bodies in airways, proper management is needed because of the high mortality rate.
Foreign bodies in the airway are very import-tant and not uncommon conditions in the field of E.N.T., and practically there are many reports of them. Occasionally, it can be followed by some pulmonary complications and technical difficulty to remove. Therefore, foreign body in the trachea-bronchial tree is serious and, on occasion, fatal. Recently, the authors experienced 7 interesting cases of foreign bodies in the airway and a brief review of literature was made. Case 1. (1 year old male): A bit of walnut was coughed out spontaneously. Case 2. (2 years old male): A bit of raw chestnut was removed from the right main bronchus. Case 3. (21 Years old male): A pushpin was removed from the left main bronchus. Case 4. (1 year old male): A kind of bean was removed from the right main vronchus. Case 5. (4 years old male): A coiled steel spring (1.1cm$\times$2cm) was removed from the subglottic region. Case 6. (5 years old female): A shell of pine nut which had been impacted in the wall of right main bronchus was removed during right middle and lower lobectomy. Case 7. (2 years old male): A metal nail was removed from the rightposterior basal segmental bronchus during right lower lobectomy.
