Although Behcet`s disease, characterized by oro-genital ulceration and ocular abnormalities, is rare and unfamiliar disease to thoracic surgeon, one must remember that it can cause serious complications on the vascular system such as thrombophlebitis,thrombotic obstuction and aneurysm.We report a case of multiple arterial aneurysms with Behcet`s disease. This 31 year-old female had five times surgical interventions during short period[19 months]. 6 aneurysms were developed in this case, 3 were spontaneous aneurysms, 2 were anastomotic aneurysms and 1 was false aneurysm due to arterial puncture.

A 45 year old male officer was admitted due to upper substernal pain for 1 month, which was aggravated by swallowing. On past and family history, there was no specific history except heavy drinking. Simple chest x-ray revealed no specific abnormal findings. Preoperative esophagofiberscopy and Barium study showed midesophageal diverticulum, pulsion type, at about 2 cm below the left main bronchus. The opening of the diverticulum was located at the left posterolateral aspect of esophagus. Midesophageal false diverticulum, measuring 2 x 2 x 1 .S cm in size, was noted at about 5 cm under the aortic arch protruding through a slit-like muscular defect. After inversion of diverticular sac, interrupted sutures with 3-0 silks were done on muscular defect site, and mediastinal pleura was reinforced on the lesion with interrupted sutures. On 4th postoperative day, esophagography revealed no diverticulum or stenosis. Also esophagofiberscopy showed smooth mucosal tag without disturbance of passage. On 14th postoperative day, the patient was discharged uneventfully, and follow-up for 3 months after discharge revealed nothing abnormal symptoms. The authors report one case of midesophageal, pulsion type, false diverticulum.

Sensor networks are often deployed in unattended environments, thus leaving these networks vulnerable to false data injection attacks in which an adversary injects forged reports into the network through compromised nodes. Such attacks by compromised sensors can cause not only false alarms but also the depletion of the finite amount of energy in a battery powered network. In order to reduce damage from these attacks, several security solutions have been proposed. Researchers have also proposed some techniques to increase the energy-efficiency of such security solutions. In this paper, we propose a CH(Cluster Header) selection algorithm to choose low power delivery method in sensor networks. The CNP(Contract Net Protocol), which is an approach to solve distribution problems, is applied to choose CHs for event sensing. As a result of employing CNP, the proposed method can prevent dropping of sensing reports with an insufficient number of message authentication codes during the forwarding process, and is efficient in terms of energy saving.

Dissecting aortic aneurysm is relatively rare in those under 40 years of age without high risk factors. After dessecting aortic aneurysm is occured, the coronary artery is rarely perfused by false lumen. We present a thirty two-year-old man who showed Debakey type 1 dissecting aortic aneurysm with right coronary artery perfused by false lumen of ascending aorta and with congestive heart failure due to aortic insufficiency without discernible risk factor. Medical and surgical treament(Modified Bentall's operation) were successfully performed. The pathologic report showed combined cystic medial necrosis. Now he is well tolerated and stable only with anticoagulation during follow up 18 months.

We report a case of acute type I aortic dissection in which an emergency graft replacement of the ascending aorta and innominate artery was performed. We performed false lumen thrombosis through hybrid thoracic endovascular aortic repair to seal the primary entry tear, followed by false lumen obliteration at the level of the descending thoracic aorta, abdominal aorta, and right common iliac artery. Over a period of 4.5 years, we used Amplatzer vascular plugs and coils based on our computed tomography angiography follow-up protocol.

We report a false positive case of I-131 scan due to a sialolithiasis in right submandibular gland. I-131 images showed not only remnant thyroid tissues and functional metastases in the anterior neck but also a hot uptake near right submandibular gland. We confirmed the sialolithiasis by radiologic studies. Sialolithiasis should be regarded as a false positive cause when I-131 scan shows a hot spot near salivary bed.

Sixty six patients who were operated as lung cancer during the period from Mar. 1991 to Sep. 1993 at the department of Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, were reviewed retrospectively and the accuracy of regional lymph node in preoperative CT were compared with histopathologlc report obtained from operation. The age ranged from 30 to 72 years old (mean age : 56.5), and 51 patients were male and 15 patients were female. The author analysed the true positive, true negative, false positive and false negative and sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive index, negative predictive index and accuracy of each nodes. The result is that there were differences between seven nodal groups in specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive Index, negative predictive index and accuracy. The range of each nodal group is from 81.7 to 98.3% The nodes of the most poor accuracy are aortopulmonary area and hilar area.

The use of the patient`s pulmonary valve for replacement of the patient`s diseased aortic valve was introduced and developed by Mr. Donald Ross. The long term benefits of having a normal, fully viable, trileaflet semilunar valve in aortic position was demonstrated. A 38 year old male had histories of failures of previously implanted aortic prosthetic valves twice and evidence of progressive heart failure. At operation, aortic root abscess was found; the abscess extension to adjacent structures and partial valve dehiscence had occurred. The patient underwent replacement of the aortic root with autologous pulmonary valve, autologous pericardial patch repair of left ventricuar outflow tract and recontruction of the right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery with prosthetic valved conduit. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well. Postoperative doppler echocardiography demonstrated minimal central regurgitation in new aortic valve. Aortic root replacement with pulmonary autograft in a patient of recurrent aortic root abscess and false aneurysm of left ventricuar outflow tract was experienced and reported with follow up echocardiography.

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a type of benign vascular tumor. It arises from vascular endothelial cells and contains capillaries arranged in a lobular pattern. In the head and neck, the most common presenting location of LCH is the lips, and presentation in the larynx is very rare. LCH might not be distinct from granuloma in macroscopic views. We report a 71-year-old female with LCH of the larynx that was totally resected via laryngeal microsurgery with a CO₂ laser and briefly review the literature.

Sensor nodes are easily compromised by attacker when which are divided in open environment. The attacker may inject false report and false vote attack through compromised sensor node. These attacks interrupt to transmission legitimate report or the energy of sensor node is exhausted. PVFS are proposed by Li and Wu for countermeasure in two attacks. The scheme use inefficiency to energy of sensor node as fixed report threshold and verification node. In this paper, our propose the next neighbor node selection scheme based on fuzzy logic system for energy improvement of PVFS. The parameter of fuzzy logic system are energy, hops, verification success count, CH select high the next neighbor node among neighbor nodes of two as deduction based on fuzzy logic system. In the experimental, our proposed scheme was improvement to energy of about 9% compare to PVFS.
