On the study of surface activity in excized lung extracts of various pulmonary diseases, following facts were concluded. 1]The minimum surface tension measured in lung extracts of tuberculous tissue surrounding cavitary lesion was 26.3dyne/cm and its stability index was 0.53. 2]Macroscopically almost normal lung tissue at a distance of tuberculous lesion in same lobe revealed 21.3 dyne/cm of minimum surface tension in extracts and its stability index showed 0.66. This low surface activity may be due to the chronic pneumonitis microscopically. 3] In the atelectatic lung which had been collapsed by chronic empyema the extracts revealed much higher minimum surface tension in 27.3 dyne/cm and its stabillry index revealed the least value of 0.47 without correlation of duration of disease. This suggests that the longstanding collapsed lung may be soon collapsed even after mechanical full expansion because of lack of surfactant.

From August 1990 through December 1991, 14 patients[all males] underwent int-rathoracic muscle transposition of extrathoracic skeletal muscles to treat empyemas, 6 patients had tuberculous empyemas, 4 had chronic empyemas of unknown etiology, 3 had pos-tpneumonectomy empyemas, and 1 had postlobectomy empyema. 9 patients had associated bronchopleural fistulas, Their ages ranged from 22 to 67 years, with mean age of 45.1$\pm$17. 6[$\pm$S.D] years. The serratus anterior was transposed in 13 patients, the latissimus dorsi in 12. In 11 patients, both the serratus anterior and the latissimus dorsi were transposed. The omental flap also transposed in 3 patients. To reduce the dead space in the thoracic cavity, thr-oacoplasty was also carried out in 10 patients. The number of the partially resected ribs was 3.0$\pm$0.8[$\pm$S.D.]. All operations were single stage procedures, and all wounds were closed primarily, with no permanent tubes or chest wall openings. There was no hospital mortality, and so no subsequent operation has been required. Follow-up of the patients ranged from 5 to 16 months with a mean of 9.2$\pm$3.1[$\pm$S.D] months, All the patints had no further signs or symptoms of the original infection after discharge. We conclude that intrathoracic transposition of extrathoracic skeletal muscle is an excellent method of treatment for persistent, life-threatening intrathoracic infections.

The 242 patients were operated due to chronic empyema in Hanyang University Hospital From Jan, 1983 to Aug, 1991, we operated 17 patients by modified.Schede`s thoracoplasty with myoplasty and we concluded to next scentences. 1. The age of patients were varied from 28 to 65[Average 39.1] and male preponderance was seen[more than 3 times]. 2. The preoperative cause of disease were tuberculosis in 14 patients[3 patients were associated with aspergillosis, and 1 patient was associated vrith actinomycosis], lung abscess in 2 patients, and haemophilia in 1 patient. 3. The Preoperative duration of empyema were varied from 1 month to 30 years[Average 49.8 month], and the duration from pulmonary resection to thoracoplasty were 1 month to 13.5 years[Average 55 month] except 3 patients, who were operated pneunectomy with thoracoplasty at the same time. 4. The total number of thoracoplasty were 19, because in 2 patients, we operated 2 steps, and we failed in 6 cases, so the success rate was 68.5%. 5. In failure analysis of 6 cases, the cause were obliteration failure in 3 cases, inadequete drainage in 1 case, and in the other 1 case was mixed type. 6. From 1990 to 1991, there were no death associated with operation and there were 1 failure, so the success rate was greatly improved. 7. The bronchopleural fistula or spontaneous rupture of trachea were seen in 12 cases, and the success rate was high in absent cases.

배 경 : 결핵성 농흉은 단순 결핵성 흉막염보다 빈도는 낮으나 공동이나 중증 폐결핵과 흔히 동반되 고, 배농과 함께 장기적인 치료를 요하는 흉강의 만성적 활동성 감염질환이다. 국내에서도 이러한 결핵성 농흉 환자가 드물지 않게 발생하고 있으나 지금까지 이에 대한 연구가 거의 없었다. 방 법 : 1991년 1월부터 2004년 4월까지 경북대학교병원에서 결핵성 농흉으로 진단된 17예의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 조사를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 대상환자 17예 중 12예(71%)에서 폐결핵 치료 과거력(6예) 혹은 현재 치료중인 폐결핵(6예)과 관련이 있었으며, 가장 흔한 증상으로는 객담이 동반된 기침, 발열, 호흡곤란의 순이었다. 중증 폐결핵 병변이 53%, 공동성 병변이 12%, 농기흉이 41%에서 관찰되었다. 흉막액 분석이 가능하였던 8예 모두에서 다형핵백혈구 우세의 삼출액이었으며, 세균성 감염이 47%에서 동반되어 있었다. 객담 항산균 도말검사는 71%, 객담 결핵균 배양검사는 64%에서 양성을 보였으며, 흉막액의 항산균 도말검사는 33%, 흉막액 결핵균 배양검사는 36%에서 양성을 보였다. 추적 관찰된 16예 중에서 외과적 치료를 시행한 3예를 포함한 12예(75%)에서 성공적으로 치료되었고, 2예(12%)는 사망하였다. 결 론 : 결핵성 농흉은 농기흉을 동반한 중증의 폐결핵과 흔히 동반되고, 흉막액의 백혈구 감별계산에서 다형핵백혈구 우세를 보이며, 흉막강의 세균성 감염이 흔히 동반되었다. 따라서 심한 폐병변과 동반되어 완전한 농이나 다형백혈구 우세 소견을 보이는 화농성 흉막액 환자에서 결핵성 농흉을 감별진단에 반드시 고려하여 이에 대한 적극적인 조사와 치료가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

We experienced 48 operations in 46 surgical patients of bronchiectasis admitted to the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of Jeonbug National University Hospital from January, 1975 to August, 1982. Among 46 patients, 27 patients [59%] was age group between 21 to 30 years. Common symptoms were cough with sputum, hemoptysis, dyspnea, fever and chilliness, and chest pain. The duration of the symptoms was variable between below one year and above 10 years. The most frequent associated disease, probably the cause of the bronchiectasis, was secondary bacterial infection after viral infection. The left lower lobe and lingular segment was involved most frequently, and the most frequent pathologic type was mixed type [40%]. Single lobectomy, and combined lobectomy and segmentectomy were performed in 77% of the patients. Bilateral resection was performed in three patients with good result. In those patients, the isolated pulmonary function test on each side of the lung performed 2 month later primary lung resection could make them be prevented from pulmonary insufficiency after secondary lung resection. The results were good except two patients who developed pulmonary insufficiency and chronic empyema with bronchopleural fistula.

Atelectasis may be defined as collapse of the lung due to absence of air within the alveoli. It may involve anatomic segments, lobes, or whole lungs but also may be a diffuse miliary process, as in the adult respiratory distress syndrome. The key to treatment are the anticipation and prevention of atelectasis in various clinical situations, the recognition and treatment of underlying disease, and the prompt initiation of vigorous treatment once atelectasis is found. Repeated assessment by physical examination is necessary to determine the presence of atelectasis and its response to treatment. During the period of January, 1981 to October, 1990, 100 patients with atelectasis were treated in the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital. There were 70 males and 30 females ranging from 3 days to 79 years of age. The occurrence ratio of right to left side was 2.1 : 1. The underlying pathologic lesions of atelectasis were pneumonia with effusion(28), lung ca.(24), pulmonary tuberculosis(24), and chronic empyema(9), The treatment procedure for atelectasis were closed thoracostomy in 26 cases, ressection in 21 cases, therapeutic bronchoscopy in 14 cases and etc.
