Purpose : Nutcracker syndrome refers to compression of the left renal vein(LRV) between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery(SMA) that results in elevation of pressure in the LRV and development of collateral veins. It must be considered as a possible factor when hematuria or proteinuria occurs in a healthy child. The purpose of this study is to determine the time to spontaneous resolution in childhood nutcracker syndrome, and to observe whether this is affected by sex, age, proteinuria or initial ratio of peak velocity of LRV. Methods : We investigated 26 patients who were found to have spontaneous resolution by follow-up Doppler ultrasonography among 117 patients diagnosed with nutcracker syndrome by renal Doppler ultrasonography from May 2001 to December 2005. We determined the time to spontaneous resolution in childhood nutcracker syndrome, and observed whether the duration was affected by sex, age, proteinuria or initial ratio of peak velocity. Results : 26 patients(59%) achieved spontaneous resolution by 1.2 years(mean). The time to spontaneous resolution of childhood nutcracker syndrome in 26 patients was $16.71{\pm}9.99$ months(range 6.0-49.2). The time to spontaneous resolution was not affected by sex, age, proteinuria nor initial ratio of peak velocity of LRV. Conclusion : More than half of the patients who were diagnosed by renal Doppler ultrasonography achieved spontaneous resolution. The time to spontaneous resolution was not affected by sex, age, proteinuria nor initial ratio of peak velocity of LRV.

Carotid duplex ultrasound is commonly used to diagnose various carotid artery diseases due to it being noninvasive and easy to perform. Carotid atherosclerosis is a major indicator for the need to perform carotid duplex ultrasound, which can determine the degree of stenosis, plaque characteristics, and intima-media thickness. It can also be used to screen and follow-up after carotid revascularization. Here we discuss the standard techniques, interpretations, and clinical indicators for carotid duplex ultrasounds.

The use of the implantable Doppler device eases the burden of free flap monitoring, and allows caregivers to notify healthcare personnel of a potential vascular event. A 24-year-old female patient underwent anterolateral thigh adipofascial flap surgery to provide a buried flap on the left temporal area for a depressed and infected skull wound. The author was able to salvage the flap from two venous occlusions, which was made possible by early notifications from the caregiver who reported changes in the Doppler signal.

연구의 목적은 컬러 도플러 초음파를 이용하여 twinkling artifact(AT)의 발생 강도를 비교함으로서 요로결석 진단에 twinkling artifact의 유용성을 알아보고자 In vitro와 In vivo로 진행되었다. In vitro 실험은 수조에 도토리묵을 넣고 도토리묵의 표면에 물질을 올려놓고 컬러 도플러 초음파를 시행하여 twinkling artifact의 발생 정도를 실험하였다. In vivo 실험은 요로결석 환자 31명(신장결석 ; 16명, 요관결석: 15명)을 대상으로 하였다. In vitro 및 In vivo 검사에서 twinkling artifact 발생 강도는 0에서 3등급으로 분류하였다. In vitro 검사에서 표면이 거친 소금, 나사, 큐빅 물질에서 높은 등급의 twinkling artifact가 발생하였다. 회색도(B-mode) 영상에서 요로결석 검출률은 신장에서 37%, 요관에서 60%로 나타났다. 모든 요로결석 환자에서 twinkling artifact 발생하였다. 컬러 도플러 초음파에서 twinkling artifact 발생 정도는 물질의 표면의 거칠기와 관계가 있었다. 회색도 영상에서 요로결석이 분명하게 검출이 되지 않고 twinkling artifact가 발생한다면 요로결석 확진할 수 있다.

A 4-month-old 5.7 kg male Golden retriever with history of seizure, depression, lethargy and anorexia was referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Chungbuk National University. Hematologic examination revealed microcytosis and nonregenerative anemia. Serum chemical values showed increased serum ammonia (423 $\mu$mol/L), ALP (1101 U/L), r-GTP (13.9 U/L) and CPK (1454 U/L), and decreased total protein (4.9 g/dl) and BUN (1.6 mg/dl). Microhepatia was shown in survey abdominal radiographs. Color doppler ultrasonographic examination revealed dilated tortuous vein with turbulent flow within liver parenchyma. Intraoperative jejunoportography and intraoperative ultrasonography confirmed the location and size of single intrahepatic shunt vessel in the left medial liver lobe. Also, the anomalous vessel entering the caudal vena cava was identified beneath the diaphragm. The shunting vessel was ligated with using an Ameroid constrictor. General conditions, hematologic and serum chemical values resolved gradually after surgery. One month after surgery abdominal radiograph showed normal gastric axis and it was consistent whit the normal size liver. Normal echogenecity of liver and enlargement of portal vein were shown in ultrasonography. It is assumed that survey radiography and ultrasonography are useful for diagnosis of single intrahepatic shunt in a dog and especially jejunoportography vein portography and intraoperative ultrasonography are suitable for confirmation of the anatomic location and size of the shunting vessels.

Objectives: The clinical efficacy of the color and pulsed Doppler ultrasound with spectral waveform analysis for differentiation of malignant from benign cervical lymphadenopathy was prospectively evaluated in cervical lymphadenopathy. Materials and Methods: Color and pulsed Doppler ultrasound examination was prospectively performed in 32 cervical lymph nodes in 28 patients. These 10 nodes from 10 patients were malignant and 22 nodes from 18 patients were benign, proved by operation, biopsy, and follow-up examination. Another 12 lymph nodes from 12 normal volunteers were evaluated as control group. The peak systolic velocity (PSV), minimal diastolic velocity (MDV) , and resistive indexes (RI) of arterial flows within the 32 lymph nodes were assessed to differentiate the malignant from benign nodes with pulsed Doppler ultrasonography. The results were qualitified with one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni method of multiple comparison. Results: The mean values of PSV of malignant, benign, and control nodes were 38.2(10.1-134)cm/sec, 23.3(9-38.5) cm/sec and 11.8(6.7-18.1) cm/sec, respectively. The mean values of MDV of them were 0.9(-7.5-10.7)cm/sec, 9.7(2.9-18.6)cm/sec and 6.5(3.7-9.3)cm/sec, respectively. However, there was no statistical significance in differentiation of malignant from benign nodes with PSV and MDV. The mean values of RI of malignant, benign, and control nodes were 0.99(0.80-1.30), 0.59(0.46-0.77) and 0.45(0.38-0.50), respectively. RI value of 0.8 is suggestive value for discrimination of malignant from benign lymphadenopathy during examination of color Doppler ultrasound of cervical lymphadenopathy. Conclusion: Color and pulsed Doppler ultrasound examination with spectral waveform analysis may be quite helpful in the differentiation between benign and malignant alterations of cervical lymph nodes.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of cerebral blood flow velocity by different types of suggestion in normal subject. Methods : Suggestion of ascending qi inducement and descending qi inducement which were recomposed from autogenic training, was operated on 60 normal subjects individually. Then cerebral blood flow velocity was examined by Transcranial doppler ultrasonography(TCD) each 5 minutes before and after suggestion. Results : The result shows that cerebral blood flow(CBF) velocity was increased significantly in suggestion of ascending qi inducement and CBF velocity was decreased significally after 1 minute in suggestion of descending qi inducement. Conclusion : Suggestion could have affected to CBF velocity, and also different types of suggestion could have affected to the change of brain blood flow. Various clinical studies should be completed on patients in the future.

55명의 미숙아를 대상으로 이중 도플러 초음파 검사를 실시하여 대천문을 통한 전 뇌동맥의 혈류속도 및 혈류형태를 조사하였다. 미숙아에서 뇌 혈류속도 및 pulsatility index는 재태기간, 출생 체중, 및 미숙아의 나이 등의 증가에 따라 비례하여 증가하였으나 resistive index는 감소하였다. 뇌실 출혈이 있는 환아 군에서는 특징적인 resistive index의 증가가 보였지만 혈류속도 및 plusatility index는 불규칙하였다. 정상 미숙아의 뇌혈류 관찰 및 환아 군에서의 뇌혈류 검사에서 이중 도플러 초음파 검사는 비침습적이고 재현성도 뛰어나 선별검사로 유용한 방법이라고 생각한다.
