The causes for airway obstruction include foreign body aspiration, congenital structural abnormalities of the airway, infection, etc. And the potential causes of acute respiratory distress contain many situations, like hyperventilation, vasodepressor syncope, asthma, etc. A major factor that leads to the exacerbation of respiratory disorders is undue stress, either physiologic or psychologic. Psychologic stress in dentistry is the primary factor in the exacerbation of preexisting medical problems. Adequate pretreatment medical and dental evaluation of the prospective patient can often prevent respiratory problems from developing. The dentist can modify patient management to minimize the risk of exacerbating these conditions. When dental anxiety is a major factor, the use of psychosedative procedures and other stress-reduction techniques should also be considered. This is the report of a children case of airway obstruction and respiratory distress owing to sedation complication by use of Chloral hydrate and Ketamine before extraction of the mesiodens in a patient with bronchial asthma and tonsillar hyperplasia. After these situations, the patient was consulted & referred to the department of Pediatrics and Otorhinolaryngology.

본 실험은 삼차신경 자극으로 발생되는 체성 감각 유발 전위에 대한 국소마취제의 효과를 관찰하였다. 나트륨 통로차단을 통하여 약리작용을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있는 리도카인를 뇌 피질에 국소 투여한 후 삼차신경의 체성 감각유발 전위의 강도및 지연시간을 측정하였다. 케타민으로 마취된 흰쥐의 대측성 구레나룻 자극후 뇌의 체성 감각영역으로부터 기록되는 유발전위를 분석한 결과, 리도카인을 뇌 피질에 국소 투여시 유발전위의 강도 및 지연시간의 감소가 나타났으며, 필드 전위의 형태는 이상성 (양극성 및 음극성) 혹은 삼상성 (양극성, 음극성 및 양극성) 의 파형으로 나타났다. 필드 전위의 발생 부위는 뇌 피질의 중대뇌동맥의 상행지 상방영역이었다. 본 실험에서 나타난 초기 전위변동은 피질판 상층에 존재하는 신경세포의 탈분극 과청에 의하여 생성되고 후기의 전위 변동은 동일 영역의 하층 신경세포에서 과분극 혹은 재분극이 발생한 결과라고 유추된다. 따라서 삼차신경계의 체성 감각 영역에서는 피질 상층및 하층의 과립성 피라미드 세포의 순차적인 활성화에 의하여 기본적인 신경 회로망이 형성되어 있으며 생리적 자극으로 유발되는 필드 전위는 이러한 신경망를 통하여 발생될 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Ketamine has an indirect sympathetic stimulation effect. We investigated heart rate variability (HRV) as a marker of cardiac autonomic function after a target controlled infusion (TCI) of ketamine with a plasma concentration of 30 or 60 ng/ml. Methods: In 20 adult volunteers, the mean of the R wave to the adjacent R wave interval (RRI), the range of RRI, the root mean square successive difference of intervals (RMSSD), the total power, the low frequency (LF, 0.04-0.15 Hz) power, the high frequency (HF, 0.15-0.4 Hz) power, the normal unit HF (nuHF), the normal unit LF (nuLF), the LF/HF ratio and the SD1 and the SD2 in the Poincare plot were measured before and after a TCI of ketamine. We observed for any psychedelic symptoms or sedation. Results: There were no differences in the mean and range of the RRI, RMSSD, total power, LF power, HF power, nuHF, nuLF, LF/HF ratio, SD1 and SD2 between before and after ketamine administration. The OAA/S score was higher and there were more psychedelic symptoms with a 60 ng/ml plasma concentration than with a 30 ng/ml plasma concentration. Conclusions: This study did not show any effect of a low plasma concentration of ketamine on the autonomic nervous system.

To clarify the anesthetic effect of acupoint injection(aquapupuncture) using general anasthetics in dogs, 18 mongrel dogs were divided into control and two experimental groups(Tian-ping+Bai-hui : Tian-ping group and San-yang-luo+Gong-sun group : San -yang- lux group). Control group was intramuscularly injected with ketamine hydrochloride, 22 mg/ kg of body weight into the thigh and experimental groups were injected into each acupoint with half volume of dosage, respectively. Clinical findings(recumbency time, induction time of anesthesia, time of head lift and standing time) and changes of vital sign(temperature, heart rate and respiration rate) were investigates at pre-anesthesia, during anesthesia and poststanding, respectively. In recumbency time San-yang-luo groupui<0.05) and Tian-ping group (p<0.05) were faster than that of control, respectively and Tian-ping group was the fastest. In induction time of anesthesia San-yang-luo group was similar to that of control, however, Tian-ping group was faster than that of control(p

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical efficacy of combined treatment with local anesthesia and ketamine procedural sedation for pediatric facial laceration repair in the Emergency Department (ED). Methods: Patients aged 1 to 5 years receiving ketamine for facial laceration repair were prospectively enrolled in a double-blind, randomized, and controlled study at an ED. All patients were to receive intravenous ketamine (2 mg/kg). The local anesthesia group (LA group) received a local anesthetic along with ketamine, whereas the no local anesthesia group (NLA group) received only ketamine. The total time of sedation, the patients' movements and groans, adverse events, and the satisfaction ratings of physicians, nurses, and parents were recorded. Results: A total of 186 patients were randomized (NLA group: 90, LA group: 96). The total time of sedation (30.5 minutes for the NLA group, 32.6 minutes for the LA group; p=0.660), patients' groans (26 (28.9%) versus 23 (24.0%); 0.446) and movements (27 (30%) versus 35 (36.5%); p=0.350) was not affected by the addition of local anesthesia. Other adverse events were similar between the two groups. Also, the satisfaction ratings of physicians (median 4 for the NLA group versus 4 for the LA group (p=0.796)), nurses (2 versus 2.5 (p=0.400)), and parents (4 versus 4 (p=0.199)) were equivalent between the two groups. Conclusion: In this study, we found that local anesthesia was not required along with ketamine sedation for pediatric facial laceration repair.

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), which is a syndrome that is defined by pain and sudomotor and/or vasomotor instability, is usually resistant to conventional treatment. Here, a case involving a 30-year-old male patient with CRPS type I who showed severe intractable right shoulder pain with allodynia and hyperalgesia despite being treated with oral medications, nerve blocks including thoracic sympathetic neurolysis, and spinal cord stimulation is described. The patient frequently visited the emergency room due to severe uncontrollable breakthrough pain. Although a favorable effect was observed in response to intermittent ketamine infusion therapies that were performed on an outpatient basis, acute exacerbation of pain occurred frequently during the night and could not be controlled. Therefore, subcutaneous ketamine infusion therapy using a patient-controlled analgesic system was attempted and found to effectively control acute exacerbation of pain during 6 weeks of infusion without serious complications.

최근 근관 치료 영역에서는 적절한 기계적 근관 성형과 근관 세척으로만 효과적으로 근관 내 미생될의 숫자를 감소시킬 수 있어 다른 약제의 사용은 권장되고 있지 않다. 그럼 에도 불구하고 수종의 근관내 약제는 감염된 근관에서 미생물의 숫자를 줄이고 근관 내용물의 불활성화와 삼출액을 줄이기 위해 사용되고 있다. 그 중 포름 알데하이드를 함유하고 있는 Depulpin$^{(R)}$과 근관 치료학에서 오랫동안 널리 사용되어온 수산화 칼슘을 포함하고 있는 Tempcanal$^{(R)}$과 Vitapex$^{(R)}$ 등에 대한 세포 독성은 충분한 연구가 이루어지지 못한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이들 약제가 백서에서의 세포 독성에 미치는 영향에 관하여 고찰하고자 하였다. Sprague-Dawley계 백서 숫놈 20마리를 사용하여, 각각의 쥐는 케타민과 럼푼을 근육내 주사하여 마취하였고, 복부의 피하 부위를 절개한 뒤 3개씩의 Teflon-coating된 매식체를 삽입하였다 매식체 안에는 각각 Tempcanal$^{(R)}$, Vitapex$^{(R)}$, Depulpin$^{(R)}$을 넣고, 백서 20마리를 6개군으로 나누어 매식체 삽입 후 1주 뒤, 4주 뒤에 희생시켜 매식체 주위 조직을 잘라내고 10%포르말린에 고정 후 파라핀에 포매 하였다 미세 절단기로 4$\mu$m로 연속 절단 후, hematoxy-line-eosin염색 후 3명의 관찰자가 광학 현미경으로 관찰하여 염증의 정도를 4단계로 평가한 뒤 Kruskall-Wallis test(P<0.05)로 통계 처리하였다. 그 결과 제 1군Tempcanal$^{(R)}$ 7일후 군), 제 2군(Vitapex$^{(R)}$ 7일후 군), 제 3군(Depulpin$^{(R)}$ 7일후 군) 모두 중등도의 염증도를 보였으나, 세 군간의 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 그러나, 제 4군(Tempcanal$^{(R)}$ 30일후 군)과, 제 5군(Vitapex$^{(R)}$ 30일후 군)의 경우에서는 약한 염증도를 보여주었으나, 제 6군(Depulpin$^{(R)}$ 30일후 군)은 가장 심한 염증 반응과 함께 조직 괴사의 양상을 보여주었으며, 4, 5군과 6군간에 통계학적 유의성을 보였다. 본 실험 결과, Depulpin$^{(R)}$은 Tempcanal$^{(R)}$와 Vitapex$^{(R)}$에 비해 높은 세포 독성을 보여주공 있으나, 좀 더 많은 임상적 검증이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives : Phencyclidine(PCP) or PCP-like substances such as ketamine have been known to rekindle the cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. The aims of this study were to identify whether PCP-like substances can produce cognitive deficit in schizophrenia, to discuss relation with aging process, and finally to speculate underlying neurochemical mecha-nisms by various drug responses. Methods : In experiment I, radial maze tests were done in 24 Sprague-Dawley rats for 3 days to get baseline data. Being divided into 4 groups(6 rats respectively) of normal aged, normal adult controls, atropine-treated and ketamine-treated, the radial maze tests were repeated on every week for 6 weeks, and then the rats were sacrificed by intracardiac perfusion with phosphate-buffered 10% formaldehyde solution for histology. The brain specimen was stained with hematoxylin-eosin to count cells in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. In experiment II, radial maze tests were done for 48 rats before any drug treatment and only after ketamine administration. Thereafter, haloperidol, bromocriptine, clonidine, nimodipine, tacrine, valproic acid, naloxone and fluoxetine were intramuscularly injected on every other day in addition to ketamine. Radial maze tests were repeated on every week for 6 weeks, and then rats were prepared by the same procedure for histology. Results : 1) Reaction times of radial maze tests of atropine-treated rats were significantly prolonged than those of normal aged(p<0.05) or normal adult controls(p<0.05). Cell numbers of prefrontal cortex & hippocampus in ketamine-treated rats were significantly reduced than those in normal aged (p<0.05) or normal adult controls(p<0.005). 2) Reduced cell numbers by ketamine became significantly raised by tacrine administration in prefrontal cortex & hippocampus(p<0.05), while there were no significant changes on radial maze tests. Cell numbers also tended to be raised by nimodipine, fluoxetine and haloperidol administration. Conclusions : In conclusion, the visuospatial memory disorders in ketamine-induced psychotic rats might be partly asso-ciated with aging process. Furthermore, the responses to the various drugs suggested cholinergic system might have an important role in the neurochemical mechanism of the cognitive dysfunction in ketamine-induced psychosis. Otherwise, calcium metabolism as well as serotonergic and dopaminergic systems seemed to be possibly related.

본 연구는 백지 에탄올추출물의 항산화 활성을 알아보기 위하여 총 포리페놀 함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량, 전자공여능을 독립적으로 3회 이상 반복 실시하여 측정 하였고, brown guinea pig(450~500g)의 등 부위에 1500mJ/$cm^2$ 광량의 자외선 조사로 유발시킨 피부(6areas per group)에 1일 2회, 주 5일, 매회 $30{\mu}{\ell}$씩 총 5주간 시료를 도포한 후 염산 케타민으로 마취, 시료를 도포한 피부 부위를 직경12mm의 biopsy punch로 절취하여 10%의 중성 포르말린 용액에 12시간 실온에서 고정한 후 Hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) 염색으로 표피 및 진 조직을 관찰하였다. 백지 에탄올추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량을 측정한 결과, 각각 20.7mg/g, 19.5mg/g으로 확인되어 항산화물질 함량이 양호하게 나타났다. 전자공여능을 측정한 결과, 백지 에탄올추출물은 농도가 증가함에 따라 전자공여능 또한 유의하게 증가하였고, $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$과 $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$농도에서 각각 14.8%, 19.8%의 전자공여능을 보여 양성대조군으로 사용한 Dibutylated hydroxytoluene(BHT)보다 공여능이 낮았으나 의미 있는 항산화 효과를 보였다. H&E 염색 결과, 대조군의 표피에서 경미한 비후도가 나타났으나, 백지 에탄올추출물 도포군은 피부조직 배열이 규칙적이며 염증관련 세포 침윤 등의 별다른 이상 징후는 발견되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면 백지 에탄올추출물은 천연 항산화제로서 이용가치가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Sixty patients, of ASA physical status class I for elective operations in the lower abdomen, perineum, or lower extremities, were studied in a comparative prospective trial to evaluate the efficacy of epidural morphine and ketamine for postoperative analgesia. They were divided into two groups: an epidural morphine sulfate group (EMS group; 30 patients), and an epidural ketamine hydrochloride group (EKH group; 30 patients). Indwelling epidural catheters were placed in the patients' lumber areas (L3-4) and then all patients were anesthetized with thiopental, nitrous oxide, and halothane. After the patients had fully recovered from the anesthesia, the analgesic agents were administered epidurally via the catheter when the patients complained of pain in the postoperative period. The groups were given either 0.1 mg/kg of morphine sulfate or 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine hydrochloride administered in a volume of 10 ml of normal saline. Patients were observed for the onset and duration of postoperative analgesia and for other effects. Total doses were $5.7{\pm}0.6\;mg$ of morphine sulfate in the EMS group and $27.9{\pm}3.3\;mg$ of ketamine hydrochloride in the EKH group. The onset of analgesia was detectable within 35 min.($23.5{\pm}6.3$ min) in 86.7% (26 cases) of the EMS group and within 10 min. ($7.8{\pm}3.7$ min.) in 76.7% (23 cases) of the EKH group. Mean duration of postoperative analgesia was $22.3{\pm}2.1\;hr$. in the EMS group. In the EKH group, the duration of analgesia was shorter and variable, the range of duration was from 2 hr. to 24 hr., Cardiopulmonary changes were statistically insignificant ih both groups. Side effects such as nausea, vomiting, urinary retention, pruritus, dizziness, and headache were observed in EMS group. In the EKH group, there was no discomfort except dizziness (3 cases) and headache (1 case). Epidural ketamine was a safe technique for postoperative analgesia, but because of the variability and relative shortness in the duration of analgesia the use of this technique will require further clinical trials.
