Spirometry and regional function studies using 99m-Technetium were performed preoperatively to predict postoperative pulmonary function change in 34 patients who had various pulmonary resectional procedures at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. Between two months and fourteen months postoperation all the patients were reinvestigated with spirometry and clinical examination to evaluate their functional respiratory status. The postoperative obtained values, especially forced vital capacity [FVC] and forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1] among the other parameters were compared with the postoperative predicted values. Estimated values of FVC and FEV1 derived from preoperative spirometry and quantitative perfusion lung scan correlated well with the measured postoperative values. The linear regression line derived from correlation between postoperative estimated[X] and postoperative measured[Y] values of FVC and FEV1 in all patients are as follows; 1. Y=0.76x + 0.39 in correlation of FVC [r=0.91] 2. Y=0.88x + 0.17 in correlation of FEV1 [r=0.96],br> This method of estimation was one of the best methods of predicting postoperative pulmonary function change and valuable in determining the extent of safe resection and postoperative prognosis to a poor risk patient with chronic obstructive lung disease.

If the postoperative pulmonary function can be predicted in the patients undergoing pneumonectomy for lung cancer preoperatively, it will be helpful for identifying them as high or low risk candidates. Perfusion lung scan and spirometry were performed in 12 patients with lung cancer pre-operatively and the predicted postoperative Vital Capacity, FVC, FEV1.0, FEF25 - 75% and MVV were estimated by multiplying the preoperative values by the percentage of perfusion of the nonsurgical lung. Three months postoperation the patients were reinvestigated with spirometry and the obtained values were compared with the predicted values. The linear regression lines derived from the correlation between predicted values [X] and observed values [Y] were as follows; VC; R=0.532, Y=0.48X+1.28, P=0.075 FVC; R=0.566, Y=O 54X+1.15, P=0.055 FEV1.0; R=0.832, Y=0.68X+0.70, P=0.001 FEF25 ~ 75%; R=0.781, Y=0.68X+0.54, P=0.003 MVV; R=0.718, Y=0.67X+34.75, P=0.009 The prediction of postoperative FEV1.0, FEF25 ~ 75% and MVV in lung cancer patients undergoing pneumonectomy appear to be valid for evaluating preoperative pulmonary function.

목적: 현재로는 각종 유독가스 흡입으로 인한 기도 손상시 기관지 내시경 검사가 가장 정확하나, 시행이 어렵고 환자에게 불편감을 주는 검사법이다. 반면, 폐환기/관류스캔은 비침습적이며 유용한 검사법으로서, 연구자들은 흡입에 의한 기도손상환자에서 조기 검사 및 추적검사를 실시하여 이들 스캔의 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 지하철 화재사고로 인한 기도손상이 의심되는 19명의 환자(남자: 9, 여자: 10, 평균연령 : 31.6세)를 대상으로 하였다. 사고 2일 후 $^{99m}Tc$-technegas 를 이용한 환기스캔을 실시하고, 4일 후 $^{99m}Tc$-MAA 를 이용한 폐관류스캔을 실시하였다. 비슷한 시기에 실시한 기관지 내시경 검사 소견과 스캔소견을 비교하고 환자의 증상이 호전된 후 추적검사(환기스캔은 16일 후, 관류스캔은 18일 후)를 실시하였다. 결과: 19명의 환자 중 14명은 정상스캔 소견을 보였고, 4명은 환기와 관류스캔 모두에서 결손의 소견을 보였으며, 나머지 1명은 환기스캔에서만 결손의 소견을 보였다. 비정상 소견을 보인 5명의 환자들은 스캔소견의 비정상부위와 기관지 내시경 검사에서 이상소견을 보인 부위가 유사하였고, 심한 호흡기 증상이 있었다. 흉부 X선 검사에서 이들 중 2명은 결핵을 앓은 흔적이 관찰되었다. 추적검사에서는 이상소견을 보인 모든 환자에서 스캔소견의 호전과 함께 임상소견도 호전되었다. 결론: 환기/관류 스캔은 화재에 의한 기도손상시 조기에 이를 진단할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 추적관찰에도 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

In 20 normal cases and 39 pulmonary tuberculosis cases, regional pulmonary arterial blood flow measurements and lung perfusion scans by $^{131}I$-Macroaggregated albumin, lung inhalation scans by colloidal $^{198}Au$ and spirometries by respirometer were done at the Radiological Research Institute. The measured lung function tests were compared and the results were as the following: 1. The normal distribution of pulmonary blood flow was found to be $54.5{\pm}2.82%$ to the right lung and $45.5{\pm}2.39%$ to the left lung. The difference between the right and left pulmonary arterial blood flow was significant statistically (p<0.01). In the minimal pulmonary tuberculosis, the average distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $52.5{\pm}5.3%$ to the right lung and $47.5{\pm}1.0%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was in the right lung, and $56.2{\pm}4.4%$ to the right lung and $43.8{\pm}3.1%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was in the left lung. The difference of pulmonary arterial blood flow between the right and left lung was statistically not significant compared with the normal distribution. In the moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, the average distripution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $26.9{\pm}13.9%$ to the right lung and $73.1{\pm}13.9%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was more severe in the right lung, and $79.6{\pm}12.8%$ to the right lung and $20.4{\pm}13.0%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was more severe in the left lung. These were found to be highly significant statistically compared with the normal distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow (p<0.01). When both lungs were evenly involved, the average distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $49.5{\pm}8.01%$ to the right lung and $50.5{\pm}8.01%$ to the left lung. In the far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, the average distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $18.5{\pm}11.6%$ to the right lung and $81.5{\pm}9.9%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was more severe in the right lung, and $78.2{\pm}8.9%$ to the right lung and $21.8{\pm}10.5%$ to the left lung when the tuberculous lesion was more severe in the left lung. These were found to be highly significant statistically compared with the normal distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow (p<0.01). When both lungs were evenly involved the average distribution of pulmonary arterial blood flow was found to be $56.0{\pm}3.6%$ to the right lung and $44.0{\pm}3.2%$ to the left lung. 2. Lung perfusion scan by $^{131}I$-MAA in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was as follows: a) In the pretreated minimal pulmonary tuberculosis, the decreased area of pulmonary arterial blood flow was corresponding to the chest roentgenogram, but the decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow was more extensive than had been expected from the chest roentgenogram in the apparently healed minimal pulmonary tuberculosis. b) In the pretreated moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, the decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow to the diseased area was corresponding to the chest roentgenogram, but the decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow was more extensive in the treated moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis as in the treated minimal pulmonary tuberculosis. c) Pulmonary arterial blood flow in the patients with far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis both before and after chemotherapy were almost similar to the chest roentgenogram. Especially the decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow to the cavity was usually greater than had been expected from the chest roentgenogram. 3. Lung inhalation scan by colloidal $^{198}Au$ in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis was as follows: a) In the minimal pulmonary tuberculosis, lung inhalation scan showed almost similar decrease of radioactivity corresponding to the chest roentgenogram. b) In the moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis the decrease of radioactivity in the diseased area was partly corresponding to the chest roentgenogram in one hand and on the other hand the radioactivity was found to be normally distributed in stead of tuberculous lesion in the chest roentgenogram. c) In the far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, lung inhalation scan showed almost similar decrease of radioactivity corresponding to the chest roentgenogram as in the minimal pulmonary tuberculosis. 4. From all these results, it was found that the characteristic finding in pulmonary tuberculosis was a decrease in pulmonary arterial blood flow to the diseased area and in general decrease of pulmonary arterial blood flow to the diseased area was more extensive than had been expected from the chest roentgenogram, especially in the treated group. Lung inhalation scan showed almost similar distribution of radioactivity corresponding to the chest roentgenogram in minimal and far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, but there was a variability in the moderately advanced pulmonary tuberculosis. The measured values obtained from spirometry were parallel to the tuberculous lesion in chest roentgenogram.

연구배경 : 폐 절제술이 술후 운동능력의 변화에 어떤 영향을 주는지 잘 알려져 있지 않으나 폐 관류 검사를 이용하여 술후 운동능력을 예측하고자 하는 몇몇 연구들이 있었다. 그러나 이들 연구들은 검사시점 및 대상환자의 선정 등에 문제가 있음이 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서 폐암 환자에서 술후 운동능력을 예측하는데 술전 폐관류 검사의 유용성 및 술전 후의 폐기능의 변화가 운동능력의 변화와 상관관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 술전 1주 이내에 폐기능 검사, 심폐 운동부하 검사, technetium 99m labelled macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA)을 이용한 폐 관류 겸사 및 체중, 체질량 지수를 측정하였다. 폐관류 검사를 이용한 술후 검사의 예측치는 preoperative values measured$\pm$[% perfusion remained/(% perfusion resected+% perfusion remained)]를 이용하여 구하였다. 폐관류 검사를 이용한 술후 검사치의 예측도를 알기 위하여 술후 실측된 검사치와 폐관류 검사로 예측한 검사치의 비[postoperative value measured/postoperative value predicted)$\pm$100%]를 구하였다. 또한 환자의 술전 후 각각의 실측된 검사치 간의 차이를 비교하기 위하여[(preoperative value measured-postoperative value measured)/preoperative value measured]$\pm$100%를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 대상군에서 술전 및 술후 6개월에 측정한 체중 및 체질량 지수의 차이가 없었다. 술후 실측된 $VO_{2max}$는 폐관류 검사에 의하여 예측된 $VO_{2max}$의 112%이었으며, $WR_{max}$는 119% 이었다. 그러나 술후 실측된 심폐 운동부하 검사치는 폐관류 검사에 의하여 예측된 심폐 운동부하 검사치와 각각 $r_s$, 값이 0.794와 0.932로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 심폐 운동부하 검사치에서는 전폐절제술 환7-r군에서 술후 실측된 $VO_{2max}$ 및 $WR_{max}$는 예측된 각각의 검사치의 121.05%, 136.51%이었으며, 엽절제술 환자군에서는 각각 107.94%와 111.59%이었다. 심폐 운동부하 검사치의 감소는 엽절제술 환자군에서 $VO_{2max}$와 $WR_{max}$가 각각 7.69%와 3.73%이었고 전폐절제술 환자군에서는 15.71%와 7.14% 었다. 술전 후 $FEV_1$, FVC 및 TLC의 변화는 술전 후 $VO_{2max}$와 $WR_{max}$의 변화와 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 술전 폐관류 검사는 술후 운동능력을 예측하는데 유용하다고 판단된다. 그러나 술전 폐관류 검사는 술후 운동능력을 낮게 평가하는 경향을 보였다.

폐고혈압의 원인은 크게 심박출량의 증가나 혈관 수축 또는 폐쇄에 의한 폐혈관저항의 증가로 볼 수 있고 수동적으로도 높아질 수 있다. 다른 심기형이나 혈관기형을 동반하지 않고 개별 정맥의 협착으로 인해 유발되는 경우는 매우 드물다. 저자들은 출생시 식도 기관루 제거와 식도 연결을 시술한 환아에서 반복되는 청색증과 호흡곤란으로 일반외과 3회 입원 후 식도 협착으로 풍선 확장술을 시행하였던 10개월 영아에서 심초음파를 통해 폐동맥 고혈압을 진단하고 심혈관도자술을 통해 개별 폐정맥들의 협착을 원인으로 밝혔기에 보고하고자 한다.

Intrapulmonary shunt was measured by $^{99m}Tc$-MAA perfusion tung scan. The study was included 76 patients. Significant amount of intrapulmonary shunt was observed in the pulmonary disease patients and liver disease patients. The shunt amount was correlated well with $PaO_2$ and $AaDO_2$ level. Further study is needed to search the various factors affecting the amount of intrapulmonary shunt.

Purpose : Hepatic arterial perfusion scintigraphy with Tc-99m-macroggregated albumin (HAPS) study was carried out in 16 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and in six patients without liver tumor to evaluate HAPS findings of hepatocellular carcinoma and usefullness of HAPS. Materials and Methods : HAPS with planar and SPECT study were performed in 22 patients after conventional hepatic or celiac arteriography. For HAPS study, 4-5 mCi of MAA mixed with 2ml of saline was injected into proper hepatic artery or its distal branches at the rate of approximately 1ml/sec. We analysed 21 HCCs over 2cm in diameter(average diameter; 6.4cm) and 17 of 21 HCCs were over 4cm in diameter(Table 1). CT, sonography and angiography were performed within two week in all 16 patients and liver scan was performed in 12 patients. Results : Three different pattern of tumor perfusion were observed in 16 patients with HCC (Table 2). 1) diffuse increased perfusion in 16 of 21(76%)(Fig. 1) 2) increased peripheral perfusion in 4 of 21(19%) (Fig. 2) 3) diffuse decreased perfusion in 1 of 21 (5%) Arteriovenous shunt indicated by lung uptake of MAA were observed in 9 of 16(56%)(Fig. 4). In contrast, angiography demonstrates arteriovenous shunt in 2 of 16(13%). There was no accumulation of radioactivity on RBC-blood pool scan in all six patients with HCC examined (Fig. 1). Conclusion : HAPS is useful study in evaluation of perfusion pattern or vascularity of HCC and in detection of arteriovenous shunt.
