Aspergillosis is not only the problem increasing the freguency for recent decades but also a serious one. Coexistent pulmonary diseases are frequent and the most common antecedent disease is Tuberculosis with healed cavitary lesion. Interest of the surgeons is aroused because of it`s predilection to sudden life-threatening, exsanguinating pulmonary hemorrhage. 11 patients with pulmonary aspergillosis evaluated at this hospital in a 7-year period, and the results were as follows: 1.male to female ratio was 1:1.75. 2.The most common symptom was gross or microscopic hemoptysis[72.7%]and other symptoms were chest pain[9.1%] and chronic productive coughing[9.1%]. 3.The right upper lobe was most common involving site[81.8%] 4.Surgical interventions were 8 cases of lobectomy, 1 case of lobectomy with wedge resection, 2 cases of wedge resection. 5.Post-operative complications developed in 5 patients and were 4 cases of wound infections, 2 cases of empyemas, 1 case of bleeding, 1 case of atelectasis.

Introduction : Pneumonia is an inflammation of alveolus and pneumal parenchyma and it is one of common pediatric diseases. According to, pneumonia belongs to the Haesu(咳嗽), Chunsik(喘息), Phechng(肺脹), Pungon(風溫). Purpose : The purpose of this study is to find out whether Socheongryongtanggamibang has any effects on children with pneumonia. Method : The subjects are in regard to children with pneumonia who visited Dae Jeon Oriental Medicine Hospital from December 2002 to April 2003. The herbal medicine therapy are applied for one week. Result and Conclusion : After treatment, the symptoms (coughing, rhinorrhea, sputum, fever) of pneumonia were improved. More studies about the Oriental Medicine treatment and conception on pneumonia are needed.

A 8 years old male Pomeranian weighing 4 kg was referred because of coughing of 4 months' duration. Heart sounds and cardiac apex beat were showed more intense on the right side. On radiographic views, loss of normal line of the diaphragm, gas-containing intestines and stomach in thoracic cavity, and right displacement of heart were observed. Ultrasonography revealed that liver located adjacent to the heart. Although the dog died due to severe respiratory disorder in surgical procedure, in thoracic and abdominal surgery, a large defect was found in the left and right ventral muscular portion and left central tendon of the diaphragm, extending from the esophageal hiatus to rib. Left and right cranial lobe of liver, small intestines, stomach and spleen were herniated in the thoracic cavity. Because of the size and chronicity of the defect in the diaphragm, closure was impossible with an abdominal muscle graft.

One hundred and nine Patients with thoracic empyema were treated at the Chosun university hospital from Jul. 1983 to Sep. 1989. Seventy-nine[72.5%] of the empyemas were adults and 30[27.5%] patients were under fifteen-year children. 29 patients[26.6%] were associated with pulmonary tuberculosis, 23[21.1%] occurred as pneumonia, and 13[11.9%] were unknown. The cardinal symptoms were dyspnea, chest pain, fever, coughing. When used as the initial mode of drainage, repeat thoracentesis was successful in only 46 of 93 cases[49. 5%]. Rib resection, however, provided cure or controlled in 7 cases[100%]. And decortication showed high cure rate in 19 of 24 cases[79.2%] Eventual control or cure of empyema was achieved in 90 patients[89.6%], whereas 7 patients[6.4%] died [3 from their empyema and 4 with empyema as an active problem at the time of death]. of all empyema-caused deaths occurred in patients who underwent chest tube drainage as the most invasive treatment modality. Chest tube drainage was often inadequate and more aggressive management was likely to result in fewer treatment failure and fewer total procedure. Early rib resection was recommended.

A pulmonary actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative disease which leads to abscess formation and fibrosis it was caused by aspiration of contaminated material from to mouth or oropharynx. Recently pulmonary actinomycosis is very rare by widespread use of antibiotics. Clinically, patients with pulmonary actinomycosis initially experience nonproductive coughing and low grade fever, but pulmonary complaints can be minimal. We report a case of pulmonary actinomycosis associated with hemoptysis which was confirmed by lobectomy with a review of literature.

A total of thirty male Holstein calves were reared outdoors with simple housings or in warmed pens in three experiments conducted in three consecutive midwinters in Hokkaido. Average outdoor air temperatures during the experiments were between -5.3 and $-6.1^{\circ}C$, and average minimum air temperatures were between -9.7 and $-10.6^{\circ}C$. The age of calves at the start of the experiments were $16{\pm}6$ hours. There was no difference in the liquid feed intake, while the solid concentrate (artificial milk) intake by the calves in the simple housing systems (outdoors, calf hutch and open shed) tended to be higher than those in the warmed pen. No significant differences in the daily gain or the monthly development of wither height were observed among housing systems. There were no serious cases of diarrhea. However, coughing was observed in several of the calves reared in the poorly ventilated warmed pens.

Objective : Allergic rhinitis is an allergic reaction characterized by sneezing, coughing, itchy nose, mouth and throat, congestion and/or nasal discharge. We aim to observe effect of Sinichengpae-um on protective effects of nasal mucosal tissue in th allergic rhinitis. Method : For this purpose, we oberserved number of leukocyte and erythrocyte in blood, ratio of neutrophil and lymphocyte in leukocyte, activity of GOT and GPT, and histopathologic change of nasal mucose. Result and Conclusion : Sinicheogpae-um showed effects on immune reaction with no harms liver. And in histopathologic change of nasal mucosal tissue, Sinichengpae-um showed significant protective effet against allergic rhinitis.

Cough, the most common symptom, encountered in the outpatient clinic can be caused by various underlying diseases. It defines as chronic cough that the duration of cough is more than 8 weeks with a normal chest X-ray findings. The cause of cough can be found out for more than 90% through the appropriate diagnostic approach and Upper airway cough syndrome, Asthma and Gastroesophageal reflex disease are the most common causes of disease to non-smokers. Chronic cough can be due to not one reason but various reasons and achieve good results by a systematic approach to diagnosis and a concrete treatment on the basis of the sufficient understanding of the underlying disease.

A 1.3 year-old Castrated male Bedlington terrier (10.0 kg of body weight) was presented with heart murmur and occasional coughing. Diagnostic imaging studies revealed supravalvular pulmonic stenosis (maximal velocity 2.91 m/s) from abnormal membranous structure (aperture) distal to the pulmonary valve in the main pulmonary artery. Further study also revealed pulmonic regurgitant (1.82 m/s of peak velocity, 13.2 mmHg of pressure gradient) jets started from the abnormal membranous structure. Since the dog had no obvious clinical signs related to heart failure, no interventional therapy including balloon dilation was considered in this case. Instead, medical treatment for preventing further deterioration of clinical signs related to PS was done with enalapril. This case report described a rare case of type III supravalvular PS in a dog, which has never been reported. Further deterioration of clinical signs has yet been recognized after medical treatment.

A case of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula was treated surgically. A 45 year-old woman has been suffered from coughing with liquid diet and recurrent pneumonia for 20 years. Esophagogram and bronchoscopy revealed a fistula tract between midesophagus and right lower lobe bronchus just opposite site of the orifice of the superior segmental bronchus. Preoperative laboratory results were normal and Mantoux test was also negative. The fistula was dissected without difficulty and the lumen was covered with intact mucosa and there were no calcified lymph nodes around the lesion. The fistula was divided and closed with interrupted silk sutures on both sides. The postoperative course was uneventful.
