  • 목 적: 3D-bolus와 Step-bolus를 결합한 Bolus를 제작하였고, 그 유용성을 평가한다. 대상 및 방법: 3D 프린터(3D printer, USA)를 이용하여 10mm, 5mm두께로 Bolus를 제작하여 5mm두께의 Bolus에는 5mm의 Step Bolus를 결합하였다. Step bolus와 3D Bolus의 특성을 파악하기위해 두 bolus의 상대적전자밀도, HU값 및 질량밀도(mass density)의 차이를 알아보았다. 이 두개의 Bolus를 인체모형 Phantom에 적용하여 그 실효성을 확인해 보았다. 해당 phantom의 모든 윤곽설정 후, 전산화치료계획시스템(Eclipse 16.1, Varian medical system, USA)을 사용하여 치료계획을 수립하였다. 전자선6MeV을 사용하여 치료계획하고, phantom흉부쪽에 9개의 선량측정 point를 지정하였고, 해당 point에서의 Air-gap을 측정하였으며, 유리선량계(PLD)를 이용하여 적용하는 Bolus마다 동일 point에서의 선량평가를 진행하였다. 결 과: 3D-bolus 5mm와 Step-bolus 5mm를 결합한 Bolus를 제작하였고, 3D-bolus 1cm과 비교 평가하였다. 3D Bolus의 상대적전자밀도(Relative Electron Density)는 1.0559g/cm2, Step Bolus는 1.0590g/cm2로 0.01%이하의 차이여서 상대적전자밀도가 거의 일치했다. Air-gap의 경량 측정에서 Combined bolus는 3D-bolus와 비교하여 지정된 모든 point에 대해서 Air-gap은 많게는 54.32%로 줄거나 같았다. 유리선량계(PLD)를 이용한 선량측정에서는 경사진 point를 제외한 대부분의 point에서 combined bolus를 사용한 phantom에서 치료계획의 선량과의 일치도가 높았다. 결 론: 3D-bolus와 Step-bolus를 결합하여 만든 Combined bolus는 3D-bolus와 Step-bolus가 갖는 각각의 장점을 모두 갖는다. 또한 Air-gap으로 인한 선량부정확성을 억제하여 보다 향상된 선량분포를 보여주어, 효과적인 방사선 치료를 할 수 있다.

  • Background: Infusion methods during regional analgesia using perineural catheters may influence the quality of postoperative analgesia. This study was conducted to compare the effects of combined or bolus-only infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine on the postoperative analgesia in interscalene brachial plexus block (ISBPB) with perineural catheterization. Methods: Patients scheduled for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were divided into two groups, one that would receive a combined infusion (group C, n = 32), and one that would receive intermittent infusion (group I, n = 32). A perineural catheter was inserted into the interscalene brachial plexus (ISBP) using ultrasound (US) and nerve stimulation, and 10 ml of 0.2% ropivacaine was administered. After the operation, group C received a continuous infusion of 4 ml/h, and a 4 ml bolus with a lockout interval of 60 min. Group I received only a 4 ml bolus, and the lockout interval was 30 min. Postoperative pain by the numeric rating scale (NRS) and the forearm muscle tone by the manual muscle test (MMT) were checked and evaluated at the following timepoints: preoperative, and postoperative 1, 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48 h. Supplemental opioid requirements, total consumed dose of local anesthetic, and adverse effects were compared between the two groups. Results: Sixty-four patients completed the study and the postoperative values such as operation time, time to discharge, and operation site were comparable. There were no differences in NRS scores and supplemental opioid requirements between the two groups. The MMT scores of group I at 4 and 12 h after surgery were significantly higher than those of group C (P < 0.05). The total consumed dose of local anesthetic was significantly lower in group I than in group C (P < 0.05). The adverse effects were not different between the groups. Conclusions: The bolus-only administration of 0.2% ropivacaine provided a similar analgesic effect with a lower total volume of local anesthetic and decreased motor weakness compared to combined infusion. Therefore, bolus-only administration is an effective postoperative analgesic method in ISBPB with perineural catheterization after rotator cuff repair.

  • Purpose : To analyse clinical outcome and prognostic factors according to treatment modality, this paper report our experience of retrospective study of patients with esophageal cancer Materials and Methods : One hundred and ten patients with primary esophageal cancer who were treated in Presbyterian Medical Center from May 1985 to December 1992. We analysed these patients retrospectively with median follow up time of 28 months, one hundred and four patients($95{\%}$) were followed up from 15 to 69 months. In methods, twenty-eight patients were treated with median radiation dose irradiated 54.3Gy only. Fifty-six patients were treated with combined chemoradiotherapy. Sixteen cases of these patients were treated with concurrent chemoradiation and the other patients(forty cases) were treated sequential chemoradiotherapy. In concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, patients received 5-FU continuous IV infusion for 4 days. Cisplatin IV bolus. and concurrent esophageal irradiation to 30 Gy. After that patients received 5-FU continuous IV, Cisplatin bolus injection and Mitomycin-C bolus IV, Bleomycin continuous IV, and irradiation to 20 Gy. In sequential chemoradiotherapy group, the chemotherapy consisted of 5-FU 1,000mg/$m^2$ administered as a continuous 24 hour intravenous infusion during five days and Cisplatin 80-100mg/$m^2$ bolus injected, or Bleomycin, Vinblastine, Cisplatin, Methotrexate were used of 1 or 2 cycles. After preoperative concurrentm chemoradiation twenty-six patients underwent radical esophagectomy. Results : Ninety-three patients could be examined for response assessment, By treatment modality, response rates were $85.1{\%}$ for radiation alone group and $86.3{\%}$ for combined chemoradiation group. But in operation group, after one cycle of concurrent chemoradiation treatment, response rate was $61.9{\%}$. The pathologic complete response were $15.4{\%}$ in operation group. Overall median survival was II months and actuarial 5-year survival rate was $8{\%}$. The median survival interval was 6 months for radiation alone group, 11 months for combined chemoradiation group and 19 months for operation group. And also median survival was 19 months for complete responder group that 8 months for noncomplete responder group. In univariative analysis, statistically significant prognostic factors were tumor size, clinical stage, tumor response, and operation. In multivariative analysis, significantly better survival was associated with clinical stage, tumor response, radiation dose, and operation. Conclusion : Compared with radiotherapy alone, combined multimodality may improve the median survival in patients with localized carcinoma of the esophagus and toxicity is acceptable.

  • Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate bolus transit during esophageal swallow (ES) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) events and to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of ES and GER events in a population of term and preterm newborns with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods: The study population consisted of term and preterm newborns referred to combined multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) and pH monitoring for GERD symptoms. The frequency and characteristics of ES and GER events were assessed by two independent investigators. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Fifty-four newborns (23 preterm) were included in the analyses. Median bolus head advancing time corrected for esophageal length (BHATc) was shorter during mealtime than during the postprandial period (median, interquartile range): 0.20 (0.15-0.29) s/cm vs. 0.47 (0.39-0.64) s/cm, p<0.001. Median bolus presence time (BPT) was prolonged during mealtime: 4.71(3.49-6.27) s vs. 2.66 (1.82-3.73) s, p<0.001. Higher BHATc (p=0.03) and prolonged BPT (p<0.001) were observed in preterm newborns during the postprandial period. A significant positive correlation between BHATc and bolus clearance time was also observed (${\rho}=0.33$, p=0.016). Conclusion: The analysis of ES and GER events at the same time by MII provides useful information to better understand the physiopathology of GERD. In particular, the analysis of BHATc during the postprandial period could help clinicians identify newborns with prolonged esophageal clearance time due to impaired esophageal motility, which could allow for more accurate recommendations regarding further tests and treatment.

  • 목 적 : 표재성 종양 치료를 위하여 선택한 전자선은 bolus와 동시에 사용할 경우 표면선량에 급격한 변화를 보이게 되며 이는 치료결과의 중요한 변수로 작용할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 전자선 치료에서 bolus가 적용될 경우 표면선량을 좌우할 수 있는 4 가지 변수에 따른 치료계획시스템(Treatment Planning System, TPS)의 표면선량 계산 값과 실제 측정값을 비교 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 치료계획시스템(Pinnacle 9.2, philips, USA)과 실제 측정값을 비교하기 위하여 실제 치료 시 주로 발생되는 4가지 변수(A: bolus 두께 - 3, 5, 10 mm, B: 조사야 크기 - $6{\time}6$, $10{\time}10$, $15{\time}15cm2$, C: 에너지 - 6, 9, 12 MeV, D: 겐트리 각도 - 0, $15^{\circ}$)를 설정하였다. 16 cm 두께의 solid water phantom을 이용하여 bolus(Action Products, USA) 없이 전산화단층촬영(lightspeed ultra 16, General Electric, USA)을 시행하였고 치료 계획은 TPS 상에서 각각 3, 5, 10 mm bolus를 생성하여 A, B, C, D를 조합한 총 54개의 beam으로 계획하였다. 이때 SSD 100 cm, 300 MU를 조사하였고 TPS와 실제 측정값을 비교 분석하기 위해 EBT3 film(International Specialty Products, NJ, USA)을 이용해 iso-center에 위치시켜 2회 반복 측정하였다. 측정된 film은 디지털 평판 스캐너(Expression 10000XL, EPSON, USA)와 선량 농도 분석시스템(Complete Version 6.1, RIT, USA)을 사용하여 각각의 평균값과 표준편차 값으로 분석하였다. 결 과 : bolus 두께에 따른 값은 3, 5, 10 mm에서 실제 측정된 값이 TPS의 계산 값보다 각각 101.41%, 99.58%, 101.28%, 표준편차는 각각 0.0219, 0.0115, 0.0190 으로 나타났다. 조사야 크기에 따른 실제 측정값은 $6{\time}6$, $10{\time}10$, $15{\time}15cm2$ 각각 계산 값에 비해 99.63%, 101.40%, 101.24%, 표준편차는 0.0138, 0.0176, 0.0220 으로 나타났다. 에너지에 따른 값은 상대적으로 6, 9, 12 MeV 각각 99.72%, 100.60%, 101.96%, 표준편차는 0.0200, 0.0160, 0.0164로 나타났다. 빔 각도에 따른 실제 측정값은 계산된 값에 비하여 0, $15^{\circ}$에서 각각 100.45%, 101.07%, 표준편차는 0.0199, 0.0190 으로써 $15^{\circ}$에서 $0^{\circ}$보다 0.62% 높게 측정되었다. 결 론 : 본 논문에서 사용한 변수에 따른 계산 값과 측정값을 분석한 결과 5 mm bolus, $6{\time}6cm2$ 조사야, 저 에너지 전자선, $0^{\circ}$ 겐트리 각도에서 TPS로 계산한 값이 측정값에 더 가까웠지만 다른 변수를 적용한 비교에서도 최대 2% 오차범위 내에 포함되는 결과를 보였다. 전자선과 bolus를 동시에 사용하는 경우 본 논문에서 선택된 변수의 범위를 벗어난다면 각각의 변수에 따라 실제 측정값이 TPS와 달라질 수 있기 때문에 정확한 표면선량에 대한 QA를 반드시 실시해야 한다.

  • The treatment of tumors along curved surfaces with stationary electron beams using cone collimation may lead to non-uniform dose distributions due to a varying air gap between the cone surface and patient. For large tumors, more than one port may have to be used in irradiation of the chest wall, often leading to regions of high or low dose at the junction of the adjacent ports. Electron-beam arc therapy may elimination many of these fixed port problems. When treating breast tumors with electrons, the energy of the internal mammary port is usually higher than that of the chest wall port. Bolus is used to increase the skin dose or limit the range of the electrons. We invertiaged the effect of various arc beam parameters in the isodose distributions, and combined into a single arc port for adjacent fixed ports of different electron beam eneries. The higher fixed port energy would be used as the arc beam energy while the beam penetration in the lower energy region would be controlled by a proper thickness of bolus. We obtained the results of following: 1. It is more uniform dose distribution of electron to use rotation than stationary irradiation. 2. Increasing isocenter depth on arc irradiation, increased depth of maximum dose, reduction in surface dose and an increasing penetration of the linear portion of the curve. 3. The deeper penetration of the depth dose curve and higher X-ray background for the smaller field sized. 4. If the isocenter depth increase, the field effect is small. 5. The decreasing arc beam penetration with decreasing isocenter depth and the isocenter depth effect appears at a greater depth as the energy increases. 6. The addition of bolus produces a shift in the penetration that is the same for all depths leaving the shape of the curves unchanged. 7. Lead strips 5 mm thick were placed at both ends of the arc to produce a rapid dose drop-off.

  • Background: To determine the effectiveness of continuous epidural infusion of droperidol, combined with epidural morphine, in reducing nausea or vomiting associated with epidural morphine and minimizing the side effects of droperidol, 48 patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery were randomly assigned to one of two study groups. Methods: Patients received continuous infusion of epidural morphine(6.0 mg/day) following a bolus loading dose of 3.0 mg(Group A), or epidural mixture of morphine(6.0 mg/day) plus droperidol(5.0 mg/day) following a bolus loading dose(morphine 3.0mg, droperidol 1.5 mg)(Group B). For the first 48 postoperative hours, the incidence of nausea or vomiting, the need for antiemetic therapy, level of sedation, and adverse effects associated with droperidol were evaluated. Results: The incidence of nausea or vomiting and the number of patients who required antiemetic therapy were significantly less in Group B than in Group A(P<0.05). There were no significant differences between groups with regard to the adverse effects associated with droperidol such as mental depression, respiratory depression and abnormal movements(P=NS). Conclusion: We conclude that simultaneous titration of morphine and droperidol via epidural continuous infusion following epidural bolus injection of the mixture reduces nausea or vomiting associated with epidural morphine while it prevents the side effects of droperidol.

  • Objective: We evaluated the effect of various patient characteristics and time-density curve (TDC)-factors on the test bolus-affected vessel enhancement on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). We also assessed the value of generalized linear regression models (GLMs) for predicting enhancement on CCTA. Materials and Methods: We performed univariate and multivariate regression analysis to evaluate the effect of patient characteristics and to compare contrast enhancement per gram of iodine on test bolus (${\Delta}HUTEST$) and CCTA (${\Delta}HUCCTA$). We developed GLMs to predict ${\Delta}HUCCTA$. GLMs including independent variables were validated with 6-fold cross-validation using the correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman analysis. Results: In multivariate analysis, only total body weight (TBW) and ${\Delta}HUTEST$ maintained their independent predictive value (p < 0.001). In validation analysis, the highest correlation coefficient between ${\Delta}HUCCTA$ and the prediction values was seen in the GLM (r = 0.75), followed by TDC (r = 0.69) and TBW (r = 0.62). The lowest Bland-Altman limit of agreement was observed with GLM-3 (mean difference, $-0.0{\pm}5.1$ Hounsfield units/grams of iodine [HU/gI]; 95% confidence interval [CI], -10.1, 10.1), followed by ${\Delta}HUCCTA$ ($-0.0{\pm}5.9HU/gI$; 95% CI, -11.9, 11.9) and TBW ($1.1{\pm}6.2HU/gI$; 95% CI, -11.2, 13.4). Conclusion: We demonstrated that the patient's TBW and ${\Delta}HUTEST$ significantly affected contrast enhancement on CCTA images and that the combined use of clinical information and test bolus results is useful for predicting aortic enhancement.

  • We performed a study of epidural patient controlled analgesia of meperidine with or without 0.08% bupivacaine for 48 hours after Cesarean section. 51 parturients were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups : 1) epidural 0.2% meperidine group(n:24) and 2) epidural combined group with 0.2% meperidine and 0.08% bupivacaine(n:27). All parturients used patient controlled analgesia with loading dose, 2 ml/hour continuous infusion, 1 ml bolus infusion and lockout time, 8 minutes. visual analog scales after loading doses were not significantly different in either groups. The total quantity of meperidine consumption and hourly consumption were significantly lower in the combined group than meperidine group(P<0.05). The cumulative amount of meperidine consumption were also significantly lower in the combined group than meperidine group at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. In combined group the hourly consumption of meperidien from 3 hours to 12 hours after loading dose was significantly lower than those of meperidine group. Above 90% of parturients were satisfied in both groups. Side effects were: numbness (2), thigh weakness (1), nausea (1), headache (1) and back pain (2) in epidural meperidine group. There were no case needed specific treatment in both groups. We conclude that analgesic effects were similar in both groups, however the amount of meperidine consumption was less for meperiding group than combined group.

  • Background: Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) is known to provide good postoperative analgesia in many types of surgery including laparoscopic surgery. However, no study has compared PCEA with patient-controlled intravascular analgesia (PCIA) in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LARP). In this study, the efficacy and side effects of PCEA and PCIA after LARP were compared. Methods: Forty patients undergoing LARP were randomly divided into two groups: 1) a PCEA group, treated with 0.2% ropivacaine 3 ml and 0.1 mg morphine in the bolus; and 2) a PCIA group, treated with oxycodone 1 mg and nefopam 1 mg in the bolus. After the operation, a blinded observer assessed estimated blood loss (EBL), added a dose of rocuronium, performed transfusion, and added analgesics. The numeric rating scale (NRS), infused PCA dose, and side effects were assessed at 1, 6, 24, and 48 h. Results: EBL, added rocuronium, and added analgesics in the PCEA group were less than those in the PCIA group. There were no significant differences in side-effects after the operation between the two groups. Patients were more satisfied with PCEA than with PCIA. The NRS and accumulated PCA count were lower in PCEA group. Conclusions: Combined thoracic epidural anesthesia could induce less blood loss during operations. PCEA showed better postoperative analgesia and greater patient satisfaction than PCIA. Thus, PCEA may be a more useful analgesic method than PICA after LARP.
