This study was designed to investigate the effects of a new herbal medicine named CWS-A on the changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normal rats, and further to determine the mechanism of action. Also, this study was designed to investigate the effects of CWS-A on the changes in rCBF in cerebral ischemic rats and the safety examination of CWS-A in rats regared to body weight change, renal and liver function test, CBC, $LD_{50}$ and histological observation in rats. The rCBF was significantly and stably increased and MABP was significantly decreased by CWS-A during the period of cerebral reperfusion in normal rats. However, there were no here were no significant changes of rCBF in ischemic rats. In additional, there were no significant changes on the safety examination. In conclusion, these results suggest that medication of CWS-A is effective for the improve the cerebral blood flow and CWS-A can be prescribed as vertigo(眩暈) symptoms treatment.

Therapeutic hypothermia(TH) improves neurological outcomes and reduces mortality among survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Animal and human studies have shown that TH results in improved salvage of the myocardium, reduced infarct size, reduced left ventricular remodeling and better long-term left ventricular function in settings of regional myocardial ischemia. This study is to investigate the effect of TH on post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction and survival time after cardiac arrest and resuscitation in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI). Thoracotomies were performed in 10 Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 450-550 g. MI was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Ninety min after LAD ligation, ventricular fibrillation induction and subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed before defibrillation attempts. Animals were randomized to two groups: a) Acute MI-Normothermia b) Acute MI-Hypothermia ($32^{\circ}C$ for 4 h). Myocardial functions, including cardiac output, left ventricular ejection fraction, and myocardial performance index were measured echocardiographically together with duration of survival. Ejection fraction, cardiac output and myocardial performance index were $54.74{\pm}9.16$, $89.00{\pm}8.89$, $1.30{\pm}0.09$ respectively and significantly better in the TH group than those of the normothermic group at the first 4 h after resuscitation($32.20{\pm}1.85$,$41.60{\pm}8.62$,$1.77{\pm}0.19$)(p=0.00). The survival time of the hypothermic group ($31.8{\pm}14.8$ h) was greater than that of the normothermic group($12.3{\pm}6.5$ h, p<0.05). This study suggested that TH attenuated post resuscitation myocardial dysfunction in acute MI and would be a potential strategy in post resuscitation care.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare surgical results of pterional(fronto-temporal) approach and interhemispheric approach for the high positioned anterior communicating artery aneurysm with our surgical experience. Methods : During the period between May 1990 and May 2001, 263 anterior communicating aneurysms were treated at the department of neurosurgery of Dong-A university hospital. Among them, 175 patients were operated by same operator. Thirty six out of the 175 cases were high positioned anterior communicating artery aneurysms located more than 15mm above the anterior clinoid process. Results : Pterional approaches were applied in 32 cases and interhemispheric approaches were applied in 4 cases of total 36 cases of the high positioned anterior communicating artery aneurysms. The 32 cases of pterional approach resulted in Good Recovery 20/32(63%), Moderate Disability 6/32(19%), Severe Disability 4/32(12%) and Dead 2/32(6%), and 4 cases of interhemispheric approach resulted in GR 3/4(75%) and MD 1/4(25%). Relatively, pterional approach showed poorer result on high positioned anterior communicating artery aneurysm located more than 19mm above the anterior clinoid process with GR 5/13(39%), MD 3/13(23%), SD 3/13(23%) and Dead 2/13(15%). Conclusion : Interhemispheric approach is preferable to pterional approach for certain cases of high positioned anterior communicating artery aneurysm located more than 19 mm above the anterior clinoid process because it provides adequate orientation to the regional anatomy, less retraction of frontal lobe and preservation of the olfactory tract and gyrus rectus without any surgical complications.

The calcium-binding proteins (CaBP), parvalbumin (PV) and calbindin-D 28K (calbindin) are particularly abundant and specific in their distribution, and present in different subsets of neurons in many brain regions. Although their physiological roles in the neurons have not been elucidated, they are valuable markers of neuronal subpopulations for anatomical and developmental studies. This study is designed to characterize dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) neurons and axon terminals in terms of differential expression of immunoreactivity (IR) for two well-known CaBPs, PV and calbindin. The experiments were carried out on 6 adult monkeys. Monkeys were perfused under deep Nembutal anesthesia with 2% paraformaldehyde and 0.2% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer. After removal, the brains were postfixed for 6-8 hr in 2% paraformaldehyde at $4^{\circ}C$ and infiltrated with 30% sucrose at $4^{\circ}C$. Thereafter, they were frozen in dry ice. Serial sections of the thalamus, at $20{\mu}m$, were made in the frontal plane with a sliding microtome. The sections were stained for PV and calbindin with indirect immunocytochemical methods. For electron microscopy, after infiltration with 30% sucrose the blocks of thalamus were serially sectioned at $50{\mu}m$ with a Vibratome in the coronal plane and stained immediately by indirect ABC methods without Triton X-100 in incubation medium. Stained sections were postfixed in 0.2% osmium tetroxide, dehydrated and flat-embedded in Spurr resin. The block was then trimmed to contain only a selected lamina or interlaminar space. The dLGN proper showed strong PV IR in fibers in all laminae and interlaminar zones. Particularly dense staining was noted in layers 1 and 2 that contain many stained fibers from optic tract. Neuronal cell body stained with PV was concentrated only in the laminae. In these laminae staining was moderate in cell bodies of all large and medium-sized neurons, and was strong in cell bodies of some small neurons together with their processes. Calbindin IR was marked in the neuronal cell body and neuropil in the S layers and interlaminar zones whereas moderate in the neuropil throughout the nucleus. Regional difference in distribution of PV and calbindin IR cell is distinct; the former is only in the laminae and the latter in both the S layer and interlaminar space. The CaBP-IR elements were confined to about $10{\mu}m$ in depth of Vibratome section. The IR product for CaBP was mainly associated with synaptic vesicle, pre- and post-synaptic membrane, and outer mitochondrial membrane and along microtubule. PV-IR was noted in various neuronal elements such as neuronal soma, dendrite, RLP, F, PSD and some myelinated or unmyelinated axons, and was not seen in the RSD and glial cells. Only a few neuronal components in dLGN was IR for calbindin and its reaction product was less dense than that of PV, and scattered throughout cytoplasm of soma of some relay neurons, and was also persent in some dendrite, myelinated axons and RLP. The RSD, F, PSD and glial elements were always non-IR for calbindin. Calbindin labelled RLP were presynaptic to unlabeled dendrite or dendritic spine and PSD. Calbindin-labeled dendrite of various sizes were always postsynaptic to unlabeled RSD, RLP or F. From this study it is suggested that dLGN cells of different functional systems and their differential projection to the visual cortex can be distinguished by differential expression of PV and calbindin.

배경: 본태성 수부다한증에 대한 흉부교감신경절 교통가지절제술은 해당 교감신경 분포부위만 차단하는 수술이므로 기존의 교감신경수술에 비해 선택적(selective)이고 생리적(physiologic)인 수술방법으로 받아들여지고 있으나 수술결과에 있어서 환자에 따라 혹은 동일한 환자에서도 양쪽 사이에 발한 감소의 차이가 있고 재발률이 높다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 저자들은 수술결과의 차이와 술 후 재발에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요소로 상부 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 해부학적 변이를 조사하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 본태성 수부다한증에 대한 흉부교감신경절 교통가지절제술의 임상적 적용에 있어서 개인간 혹은 동일인의 양쪽간 수술결과의 차이를 줄임과 동시에 수술 후 재발률을 떨어뜨릴 수 있는 새로운 수술방법을 개발하는 데 있다. 대상 및 방법: 연세대학교 해부학교실에서 흉부교감신경계의 손상이나 훼손이 없는 구의 한국인 사체 59구(남자 26구, 여자 16구)를 대상으로 총 118쪽의 흉부교감신경계를 해부하여 손에 분포하는 주된 교감신경인 제2, 3, 4 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 주행을 조사하였다. 59구의 사체 모두 양쪽에서 흉부교감신경줄기의 해부학적 형태를 비교하였고 본태성수부다한증과 관련된 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 해부학적 변이를 조사하였다. 결과: 교통가지의 해부학적 변이는 제2흉부교감신경절에서 가장 심했으며 아래로 내려갈수록 변이가 점점 줄어드는 양상을 보이고 있었다. 59구의 사체에서 양쪽 흉부교감신경줄기를 비교한 결과 양쪽의 해부학적 형태가 유사한 경우는 전체의 15.3% (9/59)에 불과하였고 나머지 84.7% (50/59)에서 양쪽의 해부학적 구조가 다르게 나타났다. 총 118쪽의 흉부교감신경줄기를 해부한 결과 본태성 수부다한증과 관련이 있는 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 해부학적 변이로 쿤츠씨 신경이 55.9% (66/118)에서 관찰되었고 제2흉부교감신경절에서 제3늑간신경으로 연결되는 교통가지 및 제3흉부교감신경절로부터 제4늑간신경에 연결되는 하행교통가지가 각각 49.2% (58/118)와 28.0% (33/118)로 나타났으며 제3흉부효감신경절에서 제2늑간신경으로, 제4흉부교감신경절에서 제3늑간신경으로 각각 연결되는 상행교통가지도 6.8% (8/118), 3.4% (4/118)에서 관찰되었다. 결론. 본 연구에서 상부 흉부교감신경절 교통가지의 다양한 해부학적 변이로 인해 동일한 방법으로 수술하더라도 개인에 따라 심지어는 동일인의 양쪽에서도 수술결과의 차이가 나타날 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 흉부교감신경줄기를 거치지 않는 쿤츠씨 신경 및 하행 혹은 상행 교통가지를 차단하지 못할 경우 재발이 생길 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 본태성 수부다한증에 대한 흉부교감신경절 교통가지절제술 시 수술결과의 차이를 줄이고 재발을 감소시키기 위해서는 제3흉부교감신경절에서 제3늑간신경으로 연결되는 교통가지들을 절제함과 동시에 제2늑골 위에서 쿤츠씨 신경을 절단하고 제3, 4늑골 위에서 제2, 3, 4흉부교감신경절로부터 제3, 4늑간신경으로 각각 연결되는 상행 및 하행 교통가지들을 모두 절단해주는 것이 도움이 될 것이라 생각한다.

본 연구에서는 dehydrocholic acid와 biligrafin 투여 20분 후, 기아 8일 후 및 담관결찰 48시간 후의 흰쥐 간을 동결할단하여 담세관 주위 폐쇠띠의 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 정상대조군에서 폐쇠띠는 여러부위에서 $1\sim4$개의 줄로 이루어진 망상구조를 보였다. dehydrocholic acid 투여군에서는 폐쇠띠의 폭이 넓어져서 망상구조의 줄은 $6\sim9$개로 증가된 부위가 많이 나타났다. 그러나 biligrafin 투여군에서는 줄이 감축되어 있었으며 망상구조는 흩으러져 있었다. 기아군에서는 많은 부위에서 폐쇠띠가 $2\sim3$개의 줄로 이루어져 있었으며 이들 줄은 느슨하게 연결되어 있었다. 결찰군에서도 많은 부위에서 폐쇠띠의 망상구조는 흩으러져 있었으며 줄들이 감축되어 있거나 아직 감축되지 않은 상태로 있는 부위도 관찰되었다. 그러나 모든군에서 줄들은 틈을 보이면서 단절되어 나타나거나 선상으로 배열된 입자로 이루어져 있었는데 특히 biligrafin군과 결찰군에서 이러한 소견이 현저하였다. 줄의 끝이 유리되어 있는 것들은 기아군에서 많이 관찰되었는데 dehydrocholic acid군에서는 줄의 끝이 교통반에 접해 있거나 그 주위를 둘러싸고 있는 것들을 많이 볼 수 있었다. 줄들이 불연속적으로 나타나거나 끝이 유리된 것은 정상군에서도 드물지 않게 관찰되었다. 결찰군을 제외한 모든 군에서 담세관 주위 폐쇠띠가 그망안에 입자의 집괴를 함유하고 있었다. 이상의 증거로 미루어 담세관 주위의 폐쇠띠는 담세판의 상태에 따라 쉽게 변하는 것 같이 보이며 같은 담세관에서 일지라도 부위에 따라 구조적 변화에 차이가 있는데 이러한 소견은 정상상태하에서도 비슷하게 나타나고 있어 폐쇠띠가 완전한 장벽으로서의 역할을 하고 있지 않는 경우도 있는 것 같이 보인다. 또한 폐쇠띠는 기계적 자극이나 다른 어떠한 인자에 의해서 쉽게 영향을 받는 것 같이 보이며 폐쇠띠의 변화에 연관하여 줄과 입자의 집괴 사이에도 어떠한 관계가 있을 것으로 추정된다.

Objective : To evaluate 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Kambin's safe zone to calculate maximum cannula diameter permissible for safe percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy. Methods : Fifty 3D MRIs of 19 males and 31 females (mean, 47 years) were analysed. Oblique, axial and sagittal views were used for image analysis. Three authors calculated the inscribed circle (cannula diameter) individually, within the neural (original) and bony Kambin's triangle in oblique views, disc heights on sagittal views and root to facet distances at upper and lower end plate levels on axial views and their averages were taken. Results : The mean root to facet distances at upper end plate level measured on axial sections increased from $3.42{\pm}3.01mm$ at L12 level to $4.57{\pm}2.49mm$ at L5S1 level. The mean root to facet distances at lower end plate level measured on axial sections also increased from $6.07{\pm}1.13mm$ at L12 level to $12.9{\pm}2.83mm$ at L5S1 level. Mean maximum cannula diameter permissible through the neural Kambin's triangle increased from $5.67{\pm}1.38mm$ at L12 level to $9.7{\pm}3.82mm$ at L5S1 level. The mean maximum cannula diameter permissible through the bony Kambin's triangle also increased from $4.03{\pm}1.08mm$ at L12 level to $6.11{\pm}1mm$ at L5S1 level. Only 2% of the 427 bony Kambin's triangles could accommodate a cannula diameter of 8mm. The base of the bony Kambin's triangle taken in oblique view (3D MRI) was significantly higher than the root to facet distance at lower end plate level taken in axial view. Conclusion : The largest mean diameter of endoscopic cannula passable through "bony" Kambin's triangle was distinctively smaller than the largest mean diameter of endoscopic cannula passable through "neural" Kambin's triangle at all levels. Although proximity of exiting root to the facet joint is always taken into consideration before PELD procedure, our 3D MRI based anatomical study is the first to provide actual maximum cannula dimensions permissible in this region.
