Purpose: Augmentation mammoplasty by cohesive silicone gel implant is becoming more popular nowadays. Many types of complications have been reported, such as hematoma, seroma, infection, capsular contracture and etc. But there were no report of deep vein thrombosis(DVT) after augmentation mammoplasty in Korea. The authors experienced one case of DVT after augmentation mammoplasty using a cohesive silicone gel implant. Methods: A 38-year-old woman with breast cancer underwent reconstruction by tissue expander and augmentation mammoplasty by cohesive silicone gel implant, and exchange of expander to cohesive silicone gel implant. The operation was finished without any complicating event. On 4th day after the operation, the patient complained of intermittent right lower leg pain. By doppler ultrasonography, the patient was diagnosed with acute venous thrombosis of the popliteal vein, posterior tibial vein and peroneal vein. Results: Intravenous heparinization and oral warfarin were started immediately and elastic compression stocking was applied. Intravenous heparinization was continued until INR (blood coagulation unit) reached to target levels. The patient was discharged on 11th day of operation with oral warfarin. Other complication has not been reported after 10 weeks of operation. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first report of DVT after silicone implant based breast augmentation.

Backgroud: Conventional cardiac transplantation with each atrial anastomosis designed by Shumway and associates has been used widely in cardiac transplantation because of its simplicity and efficiency. There have been many reports about the postoperative atrioventricular value regurgitation resulting from the alteration in atrial geometry after cardiac transplantation by Shumway's technique. New surgical technique of direct anastomosis of superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, right pulmonary vein and left pulmonary vein was introduced to overcome the those problems. We performed this study to test the feasibility of this new surgical technique prior to application to clinical practice. Material and Method: Conventional cardiac transplantation was performed on 12 mongrel dogs(Group I) and cardiac transplantation with new surgical mthod of direct anastomosis of SVC, IVC, left and right pulmonary veins was performed on 11 mongrel dogs(Group II). After weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, we compared the postoperative rhythm, hemodynamic data, and echocardiographic findings between two groups. Result : The cardiopulmonary bypass time and graft ischemic time were 119.0$\pm$4.4 minutes, 162.0$\pm$4.5 minutes respectively in group I, and 140.0$\pm$7.1 minutes, 180.5$\pm$5.4 minutes respectively in group II. The cardiopulmonary time and graft ischemic time in group II were longer than those of group I (p<0.05). There were 3 cases of failure to weaning from cardipulmonary bypass onein group I and two in group II, and this difference was not significant statistically. Sinus rhythm was regained postoperatively in 58% (group I) and 82%(group II), without statistical significant between 2 groups. Postoperative echolcardiography showed 2 cases of tricuspid value regurgitation and 1 case of mitral regurgitation in group I, and no regurgitation of atrioventricular value in group II. Conclusion: Although these was no statistically significant difference between 2 groups, there was tendency of less arrhythmia and less atrioventricular valvular regurgitation in group II. We suggested that the new surgical technique could be a useful strategy in heart transplantation, especially in the case of size mismatching between donor and recipient.

In order to prove the antitumor effect of Wekyungtang(WKT) that was originated in Bigeubchunkeumyobang(備急千金要方), Wekyungtang with Houttuyniae Herba(WKT-I) and Wekyungtang with Oldenlandiae diffusae Herba(WKT-II) experimentally, the studies were done, We evaluated the cytotoxic activity against B16- Fo as well as the synergistic effects with anticancer drugs such as cyclophophamide (CPM), cisplatin(CPT) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in vitro and measured body weight, survival time, hematological changes, changes of tissues in G57BL／6 implanted with B16-Fo. The results were obtained as follows: 1. In vitro cytotoxic effect against B16-Fo was shown in all groups as compared with control group, but the concentrations showing inhibitory growth rate below 55% of control was recognized in all concentrations of Wekyungtang(WKT) against B16-Fo and also concentration of $10^4$g／ml above in all group with cyclophophamide (CPM), concentration of $10^3$g／ml in Wekyungtang(WKT-l) with cisplatin(CPT) in synergistic effect, 2. In vivo body and tumor weight were significantly suppressed in all groups as compared with control group 3. The number of platelet, WBC, RBC were significantly increased in all groups, platelet aggregation was significantly increased in WKT-I and WKT-II as compared with control group. 4. In changes of tissues heavy infiltration oh cancer was shown in portal vein, pulmonary tissue, vein, peribronchiole, aveoli, while WKT-I was effective in antihepatic metastasis and WKT-II in pulmonary matastasis. From above results it was concluded that wekyungtang(WKT), wekyungtang with Houttuyniae Herba(WKT-I) and wekyungtang with Oldenlandiae diffusae Herba(WKT -II) had antitumor effect, and also wekyungtang combined with Houttuyniae Herba or Oldenlandiae diffusae Herba were more effective than wekyungtang only and also cyclophophamide (CPM), cisplatin(CPT) showed the more synergistic effect which suggests the necessity of continuous study on the mechanism of antitumor action of Houttuyniae Herba or Oldenlandiae diffusae Herba.

Background: Studies of the prognostic role of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are still limited. This study investigated the prognostic power of CTCs from the pulmonary vein (PV), peripheral blood (PB), and bone marrow (BM) for postoperative recurrence in patients who underwent curative resection for NSCLC. Methods: Forty patients who underwent curative resection for NSCLC were enrolled. Before resection, 10-mL samples were obtained of PB from the radial artery, blood from the PV of the lobe containing the tumor, and BM aspirates from the rib. A microfabricated filter was used for CTC enrichment, and immunofluorescence staining was used to identify CTCs. Results: The pathologic stage was stage I in 8 patients (20%), II in 15 (38%), III in 14 (35%), and IV in 3 (8%). The median number of PB-, PV-, and BM-CTCs was 4, 4, and 5, respectively. A time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that PB-CTCs had excellent predictive value for recurrence-free survival (RFS), with the highest area under the curve at each time point (first, second, and third quartiles of RFS). In a multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model, PB-CTCs were an independent risk factor for recurrence (hazard ratio, 10.580; 95% confidence interval, 1.637-68.388; p<0.013). Conclusion: The presence of ≥4 PB-CTCs was an independent poor prognostic factor for RFS, and PV-CTCs and PB-CTCs had a positive linear correlation in patients with recurrence.

하정맥동 결손(inferior sinus venosus defect)은 하대정맥과 우심방의 경계 부위에 발생하는 심방중격결손의 한 형태로 매우 드문 선천성 심장질환이며, 심방중격의 하부 뒤쪽에 위치하고 한 개 이상의 우 폐정맥의 환류 이상을 동반하고 있어 개심술시 정확한 교정을 요하므로 수술 전 또는 수술 중 정확한 해부학적 진단이 선행되어야 한다. 저자들은 부분 폐정맥 환류이상을 동반한 하정맥동형 심방중격결손 4예를 치험하였다. 1예는 25세 성인이었고 3예는 14개월 미만의 영아 및 소아였다. 4예 모두 심부전 때문에 수술했으며 이중 4개월의 영아는 긴급 수술이 필요했다. 진단을 위해 심초음파 및 도플러 검사와 심도자법을 시행하였다. 수술전 확진은 1예에서 가능했고 3예는 수술전 병변을 의심하고 수술시 확진되었다. 수술방법으로 이상 환류되는 폐정맥이 좌심방으로 환류 되도록 자가심막을 이용하여 심방중격결손을 폐쇄하였다. 4예 모두 수술 결과는 양호하였으며 초음파 검사의 추적에서 하대정맥과 폐정맥의 환류장애 소견은 없었다. 정확한 수술 교정을 위해 수술전 정확한 진단이 필수적이며, 수술전 폐정맥의 부분 환류이상과 심방중격 결손으로 진단된 환자에서는 수술중 하정맥동 결손의 여부를 확인하여 적절한 수술적 교정을 시행해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: To describe the anatomic locations and imaging features of posterior lung herniation in unilateral pulmonary agenesis and aplasia, focusing on radiograph-CT/MRI correlation. Materials and Methods: A total of 10 patients (seven with pulmonary agenesis and three with pulmonary aplasia, male: female = 1:9, mean age 7.3 years, age range from 1 month to 20 years) were included. Chest radiographs (n = 9), CT (n = 9), and MRI (n = 1) were reviewed to assess the type of lung underdevelopment, presence of anterior and posterior lung herniation, bronchus origin, supplying artery, and draining vein of the herniated lung. Results: Pulmonary agenesis/aplasia more commonly affected the left lung (n = 7) than the right lung (n = 3). Anterior lung herniation was observed in nine of the 10 patients. Posterior lung herniation was observed in seven patients with left pulmonary agenesis/aplasia. Two patients showed posterior lung herniation crossing the midline but not beyond the aorta, and five patients showed the posteriorly herniated right lower lobe crossing the midline to extend into the left hemithorax farther beyond the descending thoracic aorta through the space between the esophagus and the aorta. This anatomical configuration resulted in a characteristic radiographic finding of a radiolucent area with a convex lateral border and a vertical medial border in the left lower lung zone, revealing a tongue-like projection on CT and MRI. Conclusion: Posterior lung herniation occurs in unilateral left lung agenesis/aplasia. Approximately 70% of the cases of posterior lung herniation reveal a unique radiolucent tongue-like projection in the left lower lung zone on imaging studies, which is caused by the extension of the posteriorly herniated right lung farther beyond the descending aorta.

배경: 전 폐정맥 환류 이상의 치료성적은 과거에 비해 많이 향상되었으나, 폐정맥 협착은 아직까지 수술 후에 발생하는 심각한 합병증으로 남아있다. 폐정맥 협착의 발생을 감소시키기 위하여 본원에서는 좋은 시야 확보, 적절한 배치, 충분한 개구부의 크기가 중요하다고 생각하고 이러한 원칙하에서 시행한 본원의 경험을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 1월부터 2005년 2월까지 전 폐정맥 환류 이상으로 진단 받고, 양심실 교정이 가능한 환자 74명을 대상으로 하였다. 상 심장형이 41명(55.4%)으로 가장 많았다. 평균 심폐기 가동시간은 $92.1{\pm}25.9$분, 대동맥 차단 시간은 $39.1{\pm}10.6$분이었고, 순환 정지를 시행한 환자는 30명(40.5%)이었고 평균 시간은 $30.2{\pm}10.7$분이었다. 평균 추적관찰기간은 $41.4{\pm}29.1$개월이었고, 모든 환자에서 추적관찰이 가능하였다. 결과: 수술 당시 나이의 중간값은 28.5일($0{\sim}478$일), 체중은 3.4 kg $(1.4{\sim}9kg)$이었다. 조기사망은 3명(4.1%)이었고, 원인은 폐동맥 고혈압, 패혈증, 돌연사(sudden death)가 각각 1명씩 있었다. 수술 후 폐정맥 폐쇄는 2명(2.7%)으로 조기가 1명, 만기가 1명이었다. 모두 관상 정맥동으로 연결되는 심장형 전폐정맥 환류 이상을 가진 환자들이었고, 심장외부에서 공통 폐정맥과 좌심방의 후벽을 연결하는 재수술을 시행 받았지만 그 중 한 명은 지속적인 폐정맥 협착으로 사망하였다. 5년 생존율과 5년간 폐정맥 협착을 피할 확률은 각각 $94.5{\pm}2.7%$와 $97.2{\pm}2.0%$였다. 결론: 본원에서 시행한 양심실 교정이 가능한 전 폐정맥 환류 이상 환자의 수술에서 심장외부에서 좌심방의 후벽과 공통 폐정맥을 연결한 환자들에서는 폐정맥의 협착이 발생하지 않았다. 따라서 본원에서 가지고 있는 원칙이 폐정맥 협착을 예방하는 데 효과적인 방법이라고 생각된다.

Pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital pulmonary malformation characterized by presence of nonfunctioning lung tissue which receives its blood supply mostly from the anomalous systemic arteries - descending thoracic aorta or abdominal aorta, subclavian artery, innominated artery and internal mammary artery, etc. In our country, 39 cases were reported previously. The patient was a 40 years old woman and admitted due to productive cough for 1 year. The chest X-ray and chest C-T showed a dense mass containing a large cavity with air-fluid level and multiple radiolucent cysts in the right lower lung field. On the operative field, we could identify an aberrant large artery [ $\phi$7mm which arose directly from the descending thoracic aorta at eighth thoracic spinal level and fed the sequestrated portion of the right lower lobe. The aberrant artery was double ligation after division. Only sequestrated lobe on the superolateral lesion of the right lower lobe was resected because of nonseparated lobes in all the right lobes. An abnormal vein and bronchiole were ligated with black silk. The patient`s postoperative course was unevenful.
