Background: We aimed to evaluate the incidence, predictive factors, and impact of acute kidney injury (AKI) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). Methods: A total of 53 patients who underwent 57 TEVAR operations between 2008 and 2015 were reviewed for the incidence of AKI as defined by the RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss, and end-stage kidney disease risk) consensus criteria. The estimated glomerular filtration rate was determined in the perioperative period. Comorbidities and postoperative outcomes were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Underlying aortic pathologies included 21 degenerative aortic aneurysms, 20 blunt traumatic aortic injuries, six type B aortic dissections, five type B intramural hematomas, three endoleaks and two miscellaneous diseases. The mean age of the patients was $61.2{\pm}17.5years$ (range, 15 to 85 years). AKI was identified in 13 (22.8%) of 57 patients. There was an association of preoperative stroke and postoperative paraparesis and paraplegia with AKI. The average intensive care unit (ICU) stay in patients with AKI was significantly longer than in patients without AKI (5.3 vs. 12.7 days, p=0.017). The 30-day mortality rate in patients with AKI was significantly higher than patients without AKI (23.1% vs. 4.5%, p=0.038); however, AKI did not impact long-term survival. Conclusion: Preoperative stroke and postoperative paraparesis and paraplegia were identified as predictors for AKI. Patients with AKI experienced longer average ICU stays and greater 30-day mortality than those without AKI. Perioperative identification of high-risk patients, as well as nephroprotective strategies to reduce the incidence of AKI, should be considered as important aspects of a successful TEVAR procedure.

Alterations in serum enzymes were studied in twenty-five patients who underwent open heart surgery in N.M.C. during the period from June 1979, to Feb. 1980. There were fifteen congenital and ten acquired heart diseases. In all patients, Rygg-Kyvsgaard five head roller pump and Polystan bubble oxygenator were used and serial determination of total level of Creatine phosphokinase [CPK], Lactic dehydrogenase [LDH], Glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT] were made preoperatively, operation day [just after aortic clamp release, 2 hrs later, 4 hrs later, 6 hrs later], and postoperative days up to 5th day. Immediate postoperative clinical courses were also evaluated. Twenty-five patients were divided into two groups: Group A[13] was cardiopulmonary bypass time more than 95 minutes and aortic clamp time more than 45 minutes. Group B[12] was cardiopulmonary bypass time less than 95 minutes and aortic clamp time less than 45 minutes. The peak levels of SGOT, LDH in Group A were more significantly elevated than Group B [P<0.05]. But peak levels of CPK were not significant between two groups. In the view of clinical evaluation, poor clinical courses were more frequent in Group A [54%] than Group B[8%].

From 1958 up to the end of April 1980, during the period of 12 years 1640 cardiac surgery cases including 1069 open heart surgery and 304 valve replacement cases, were operated in this Department. There were 1070 congenital anomaly and 570 acquired disease cases. In 1070 congenital anomaly cases 673 acyanotic and 397 cyanotic anomaly patients were noted. In acquired diseases 94 pericardial and 456 valvular cases were found. Among 456 valve cases 189 mitral stenosis, 133 mitral insufficiency, 30 aortic valve lesion, 97 double valve, and 7 triple valve lesion patients were noted. Among 304 valve replacement cases 209 mitral, 34 aortic, 5 tricuspid, 34 aortic with mitral, 20 mitral with tricuspid, and 2 triple valves were replaced. Annual increase `of open heart surgery cases and decrease of operative deaths were remarkable in recent years. In recent years Shiley** oxygenator in pump-oxygenator set up and Ionescu** bovine pericardial xenograft bioprosthesis were used for valve replacement mainly.

Aortic AIx(augmentation index) has been used to measure aortic stiffness and evaluate ventricular load quantitatively. Algorithm for the detection of augmentation point gradually increases the differential order to detect inflection point rather than detects the distinctive point that appears after a specific time. Developed algorithm for AIx is proved to provide more accurate results than the ones developed by previous studies with the deviation from $-11.5{\pm}14.34$ points to $-3.75{\pm}1.26$ points. Results could provide the basis for the measurement of aortic stiffness using easily-measurable radial artery pulse waves, and could be extended to develop a system for early diagnosis of various vascular diseases.

The formation of aortic thrombi is an extremely rare complication of acute pancreatitis. Here we report a case of acute pancreatitis complicated by a paraesophageal pseudocyst, necrotizing mediastinitis, and the formation of multiple thrombi in the ascending aorta. The patient was successfully treated by surgical therapy, which included extensive debridement of the mediastinum and removal of the aortic thrombi under cardiopulmonary bypass. Although esophageal resection was not carried out concomitantly, the lesions were resolved and the patient remained free of complications over 2 years of follow-up care.

배경: 하행 흉부대동맥류를 포함한 대동맥 질환을 가진 환자들에서 히생한 대동맥내 스텐트-그라프트 삽입술의 치료효과와 추적성적 및, 대상 환자들의 임상적 특징을 통해 치료방법으로서의 적응과 역할을 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 이후 모두 8명의 환자에서 진단방사선과와 협진으로 스텐트-그라프트 삽입술을 시행하였으며, 시술 전 진단으로는 외상성 대동맥 파열이 3례, 동맥경화증성 대동맥류 3례, 흉부가성대동맥류 파열 1례, 매독성 대동맥염에 의한 흉복무대동맥류가 1례였다. 시술은 혈관조영실에서 혈관조영을 하면서 시행하였고, 전신마취가 3례, 국소마취가 3례였고, 2례에서 경막외 마취하에 시술하였으며, 사용한 스텐트-그라프트는 0.35mm 굵기의 스테인레스 강철사를 지그재그 형태로 구부려 만든 스텐트를 서로 연결하고 인조혈과(Dacton)을 입힌 후 봉합한 것으로 제조회사에 의뢰하여 자체제작 하였다. 결과: 시술받은 환자의 전례에서 스텐트-그라프트 삽입시 기술적 어려움은 없었으며, 스텐트-그라프트 삽입후 4일에서 7일 사이에 시행했던 추적검사(4례)에서 스텐트-그라프트 주위부 누출이나 당초 목표했던 위이에서의 이탈은 없었다. 1례의 외사성 대동맥 파열이 었었던 환자가 시술 후 13일째 급성호흡곤란증후군 및 다장기부전으로 사망하였고, 매독성 대동맥염이 있었던 흉복부 대동맥류 환자가 시술 후 6일째 상행대동맥 및 대동맥궁에 대한 수술을 시행받고 술후 22일째 문합부위 파열로 사망하였다. 결론: 대동맥내 스텐트-그라프트를 이용한 흉복부 대동맥 질환의 치료는 수술에 따른 이환률 및 사망률을 고려할 때 특히 다장기부전으로 수술이 어려운 경우 또는 수술 후 합병증의 발생이 강력히 우려되는 경우에 안전하게 시행할 수 있는 치료의 한 방편으로서 의미를 가진다고 사료된다.행성 이하선염과 파라인플루엔자 바이러스는 외피가 있는 170-180nm 이었다.TEX>$\pm$0.10(100분), 0.46$\pm$0.11(120분), 0.52$\pm$0.15(심폐기 재가동 30분), 0.62$\pm$0.15(60분), 0.76$\pm$0.17(심폐기이탈 30분), 0.81$\pm$0.20(60분), 0.84$\pm$0.23(90분) and 0.94$\pm$0.33(120분)를 보였고 이는 역행성 뇌관류 전에 비해 유의하게 증가된 소견이었다(p<0.05). 뇌신피질, 기저핵, 해마에서 전자현미경 조직 소견을 관찰하였으며 마이토콘드리아의 부종을 관찰할 수 있었다. 결론 : 역행성 뇌관류 120분 후에 S100 베타 단백의 유의한 증가를 관찰할 수 있었으며 뇌조직 손상과의 관련성은 좀 더 연구되어야 할 부분으로 생각된다. 장기 생존 모델을 통한 재평가가 필요하다고 사료되며 심폐바이패스 시행 등의 교란 인자도 고려해야 할 것이다.비해 Progenitor II의 형질전환 효율이 현저히 떨어졌다. L. acidophilus HY7008과 HY7001은 두 기기 모두 형질전환이 이루어졌으나, L. acidophilus WEISBY와 NCFM은 Progeni-tor II에서 전이가 일어나지 않았으며, Gene Pulser에서 전이균주를 얻어 두 electroporator간에 형질전환 효율의 차이를 보였다. 11. L. casei 102S에 pLZ12를 electroporation시 낮은 전압에서 형질전환 효율이 비교적 좋았으며, 배양 시기를 달리하여 전이시켰을 때 대수생장 말기의 세포가 형질전환 효율이 좋았다. 12.

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis (PS) are complex heart diseases, the treatment of which remains a surgical challenge. The Rastelli procedure is still the most commonly performed treatment. Aortic root translocation including an arterial switch operation is advantageous anatomically since it has a lower possibility of conduit blockage and the left ventricle outflow tract remains straight. This study reports successful aortic root transpositions in two patients, one with DORV with VSD and PS and one with TGA with VSD and PS. Both patients were discharged without postoperative complications.
