생체 내 압력을 in-situ로 측정하기 위해 삽입하는 카테터의 내부에 탑재될 압력센서를 설계, 제조하여 그 특성을 측정하였다. 카테터의 내경 1mm에 맞도록 $150\;{\mu}m$(두께) ${\times}$ (600, 700, 800, 900, 1000) ${\mu}m$(폭) ${\times}2\;mm$(길이)로 제조하였고, SDB 웨이퍼의 두꺼운 쪽을 KOH수용액을 이용하여 $134\;{\mu}m$로 식각하여 폭이 1 mm이하인 소자의 제조가 가능하도록 하였다. 기존의 휘트스톤 브리지와는 다르게 단일 압저항과 기준 저항을 형성시켜 보다 소형으로 제조하였다. 단일 압저항을 사용하기 때문에 감도가 휘트스톤 브리지형 센서 보다 감소하므로 ANSYS 55.1로 시뮬레이션하여 압력 센서의 감도가 최대가 되도록 압저항체의 형태와 위치를 최적화 시켰다. 또한 다이아프램 변에 수직인 저항과 수평인 저항을 넣은 쌍 압저항 센서도 동시에 제조하여 특성을 비교한 결과 다이아프램이 소형일수록 단일 압저항 센서의 감도가 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 센서의 압력에 대한 변화를 측정하기 위해 압저항에 정전류원을 인가하여 증폭회로로 측정한 단일 압저항 센서의 최대 감도는 $1.6\;{\mu}V/V/mmHg$였다.

Dynamic lung compliance was measured in healthy ten young[mean age, 26 years] male and five young[mean age, 25 years] female. Lung volume was integrated of the rate of flow signal which was obtained by using pneumotachograph and differential pressure transducer[PM 5, Statham]. Intrapleural pressure was measured as that of intraesophagel pressure. Esophageal ballon, 15. 5cm in length, 4ml of luminal capacity and made of thin latex, was connected to the polyethylene tube that had 12-14 side holes and was of 1.5mm of ID. Transpulmonary pressure was traced by means of differential pressure transducer[PM 131, Statham] to which connected the esophageal balloon catheter and connection tube from mouth piece. Lung volume and transpulmonary pressure were photographed by cathode ray oscilloscope camera while the subjects were breathing spontaneously. Dynamic lung compliance loop was displayed on single trace monitor and subtraction was performed for the quasi-static hysteresis. Dynamic lung compliance was measured, 1. by plotting the pressure-volume relationship 2. from the subtracted pressure-volume loop. Results were as follows. 1. Dynamic lung compliances measured by plotting of healthy young male and female were $0.202{\pm}0.06$ and $0.190{\pm}0.023L/cm$ $H_2O$ respectively. 2. When measured from subtraction loop, dynamic lung compliance for male and female were $0.327{\pm}0.107$, and $0.27{\pm}0.06L/cm$ $H_2O$ respectively. 3. Dynamic chest wall and total respiratory system compliance were also measured. 4. Dynamic lung compliance by plotting appeared to be essentially same when compared to that of static compliance reported previously from our laboratory, however, that obtained from subtraction loop revealed higher values than the compliances obtained by plotting and that of static compliance.

The surgical treatment of extensive urethral strictures remains a controversial topic; although techniques have evolved, there is still no definite method of choice. Since 1968, when Orandi presented an original technique for one-stage urethroplasty using a penile skin flap, the Orandi technique has become the most prevalently used one-stage procedure for anterior urethral strictures. We present a 20-year follow-up experience with one-stage reconstruction of long urethral strictures using a longitudinal ventral tubed flap of penile skin, with some important technical changes to Orandi's original technique to overcome the deficient vascularity caused by periurethral scar tissue. In 1997, a 55-year-old male patient complained of severe voiding difficulty and a weak urinary stream because of transurethral resection of the prostate due to benign prostatic hyperplasia. Another 47-year-old male patient had the same problem due to self-removal of a Foley catheter in 2002. In both patients, a urethrogram demonstrated extensive strictures involving the long segment of the anterior urethra. A rectangular skin flap on the ventral surface of the penis was used considering the appropriate length, diameter, and depth of the neourethra. The modified Orandi flap provided a pedicled strip of penile skin measuring an average of 8 cm. The mean duration of follow-up was 20.5 years. A long-term evaluation revealed stable performance characteristics without any complications.

This study was performed to validate the procedure of transarterial embolization of the renal artery (TAE-RA) and sclerotherapy of renal pelvis using iohexol-ethanol solution in dogs with unilateral experimental hydronephrosis. Experimental hydronephrosis was induced by unilateral ureter ligation for 20 days in five Beagle dogs. Renal artery embolization with iohexol-ethanol solution was performed using selective catheterization technique in the hydronephrotic kidney and sclerotherapy was done by injection of the iohexol-ethanol solution through percutaneously placed pig-tail catheter. EKG, $SpO_2$ body temperature, pulse, and respiratory rate were within normal ranges during procedures. Average pure ethanol dose for renal artery embolization was $1.1\pm0.3ml/kg$. Renal artery embolization was confirmed by the detection of no blood flow signal at the interlobar and arcuate artery using color Doppler ultrasonography. There were no dogs expired after TAE-RA and sclerotherapy and no side effects associated with regurgitation of iohexol-ethanol solution. The value of BUN, creatinine, ALT, AST, Ca, P in five dogs were within normal range during the experiment period. Ultrasonographically, the mean longitudinal and transverse length and the depth of the embolized kidney significantly decreased at 28 days after TAE-RA. We may conclude that TAE-RA and sclerotherapy with iohexol-ethanol solution is an effective methods for the treatment of unilateral hydronephrosis in dogs.

The goal of respiratory management in high risk infants is to maintain proper oxygenation by supporting respiration, therefore to minimize the secondary complications and to promote the maximum growth and development. While on artificial ventilator to achieve this goal, the infants require endotracheal suctioning(ETS) to remove lung secretions. However, the negative effects of ETS in neoates have been documented and include hypoxia, bradycardia, mucosal damage, increased intracranial pressure, and death result. The purpose of the study was to investigate how ETS is currently performed in NICU, which would be beneficial to develop the standardized ETS protocol and to apply it to these population. A national-wide survey on clinical protocol of ETS was performed to 149 neonatal nurses with the average of 3 years and 6 months experience in neonatal nursing, 34.2% of whom was bachelor in nursing. The results showed that about 89% of the nurses initiate En primarily based on the need of the subjects. The aseptic regulation on ETS was used in 83.9% of the subjects. There was no regulation on the length of catheter in 32.9% and on ID/OD ratio in 17.4%. Many nurses administered hyperoygenation/hyperinflation/hyperventilation based on personal knowhow, rather than scientific rationals (77.2%, 40.9%, 75.2%, retrospectively). About 41% of the nurse regulate subjectively the suction power, while 73.8% of them rotate the sub ject's head during suctioning and the half of the nurses was favorable in adapting the closed-suctioning protocol. With the findings of the study, the current clinical application of E% in neonates appears to be based on adult care practices, or personal preference, rather than scientific validation of the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. This study support the needs for developing and applying the standardized ETS protocolin conjunction with the consideration given to the physiologic characteristics of the neonates in respiratory distress.

Objective: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition of unknown etiology associated with venous sinus stenosis. This study aimed to develop a magnetic resonance venography (MRV)-based radiomics model for predicting a high trans-stenotic pressure gradient (TPG) in IIH patients diagnosed with venous sinus stenosis. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 105 IIH patients (median age [interquartile range], 35 years [27-42 years]; female:male, 82:23) who underwent MRV and catheter venography complemented by venous manometry. Contrast enhanced-MRV was conducted under 1.5 Tesla system, and the images were reconstructed using a standard algorithm. Shape features were derived from MRV images via the PyRadiomics package and selected by utilizing the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method. A radiomics score for predicting high TPG (≥ 8 mmHg) in IIH patients was formulated using multivariable logistic regression; its discrimination performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). A nomogram was constructed by incorporating the radiomics scores and clinical features. Results: Data from 105 patients were randomly divided into two distinct datasets for model training (n = 73; 50 and 23 with and without high TPG, respectively) and testing (n = 32; 22 and 10 with and without high TPG, respectively). Three informative shape features were identified in the training datasets: least axis length, sphericity, and maximum three-dimensional diameter. The radiomics score for predicting high TPG in IIH patients demonstrated an AUROC of 0.906 (95% confidence interval, 0.836-0.976) in the training dataset and 0.877 (95% confidence interval, 0.755-0.999) in the test dataset. The nomogram showed good calibration. Conclusion: Our study presents the feasibility of a novel model for predicting high TPG in IIH patients using radiomics analysis of noninvasive MRV-based shape features. This information may aid clinicians in identifying patients who may benefit from stenting.

Backgrounds/Aims: While single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) has advantages in cosmesis and postoperative pain, its utilization has been limited. This study raises the possibility of expanding its indication to acute cholecystitis with the novel method of solo surgery under retrospective analysis. Methods: We compared the outcomes of SILC (n = 58) to those of three-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (TILC; n = 117) for acute cholecystitis, being performed from March 2014 to December 2015. Results: Intraoperative results, including the operation time, did not differ significantly, except for drain catheter insertion (p = 0.004). Each group had 1 case of open conversion due to common bile duct injury. There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay. Either group by itself was not a risk factor for complications, but in preoperative drainage for intraoperative perforation, 3 factors of intraoperative perforation, biliary complication, and history of upper abdominal operation for additional port, only American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores for postoperative complication of Clavien-Dindo grades III and IV were significant risk factors. Conclusions: Our study findings showed comparative outcomes between both groups, providing evidence for the safety and feasibility of SILC for acute cholecystitis.

배경: 본 연구는 심폐바이패스를 사용하지 않는 관상동맥우회술 중 발생한 혈역학적 불안정에 대한 대동맥내 풍선펌프 치료의 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2000년 1월부터 2006년 12월까지 심폐바이패스를 사용하지 않는 관상동맥우회술을 받은 796명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 수술중 대동맥내 풍선펌프 삽입이 필요했던 환자들을 I군(n=39), 삽입하지 않았던 환자들을 II군(n=757)으로 분류하였다. 결과: 두 군간에 수술 사망률(2.6%, 1/39 vs. 0.8%, 6/757; p=0.195)과 심방 세동(p=0.691), 뇌졸중(p=0.908), 종격동염(p=0.781) 이환율의 차이는 없었다. 인공호흡기 치료 시간, 중환자실 및 병원 재원 기간은 I군에서 II군보다 길었다 (p<0.05). 다변량 분석에서 수술 중 대동맥내 풍선 펌프 삽입이 수술 사망률을 유의하게 증가시키진 않았다(p=0.549). I군에서 대동맥내 풍선 펌프 치료와 관련하여 수술적 치료가 필요했던 합병증이 3예 있었으나(7.9%), 대동맥내 풍선 펌프 삽입 술기를 변형한 2003년 이후에는 발생하지 않았다. 결론: 심폐바이패스를 사용하지 않는 관상동맥우회술 중 혈역학적 불안정이 발생한 경우 대동맥내 풍선펌프를 이용하여 비교적 적은 합병증으로 관상동맥우회술을 시행할 수 있었다.
