Abdominal cystic lymphangiomas arising from the mesentery, omentum and retroperitoneum are rare and occasionally confused with other cause of acute abdomen. Sixteen children who underwent surgery for abdominal cystic lymphangioma between 1984 and 2005 at the Division of Pediatric Surgery, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center were evaluated retrospectively. There were 9 boys and 7 girls. Age ranged from 12 days to 13 years (mean age: 4.7years). The cysts were located in the omentum (4 cases),mesentery (9 cases: jejunum: 3, colon: 6). retroperitoneum (2 cases) and pelvic cavity (one case). The cyst content was hemorrhagic (8 cases), serous (5 cases), and inflammatory (2 cases), and chyle (one). Prenatal diagnosis was made in 3. The clinical features were variable, but abdominal pain, mass, and abdominal distention in order. There were 3 emergency operations in patients with complicated cyst, who were suspected of having panperitonitis and volvulus preoperatively. Complete excision was accomplished in all cases. There was one mortalityin a newborn with E.coli sepsis. Intestinal obstruction developed in 2 cases in long-term follow-up. No recurrence was observed. Although intraabdominal lymphangioma arising from mesentery, omentum and retroperitoneum are rare, it should be considered as a possible cause of acute abdomen.

복부대동맥류는 주로 65-75세의 중년이후 남성과 흡연자에서 주로 발생한다. 가장 중요한 증세는 대동맥 파열로서 생명에 치명적이며, 혈관벽이 헐고 약해지고 파열되어 많은 양의 혈액이 복강 내로 쏟아지는 것을 의미한다. 복부대동맥박리를 치료하기 위해서는 3차원 영상 정보가 필요하고, 수술시 임상의사에게 많은 도움이 된다. 3차원 정보는 MDCT로부터 계산되고 3차원 모델은 2차원 CT영상의 분할로 계산된 좌표로부터 재구성된다. 따라서 3차원 영상의 질은 2차원 영상의 분할알고리듬에 의존적이다. 본 연구에서는 목적장기만을 모델링하기 위해서 가변형 능동모델을 제안한다. 가변형 능동모델은 외부힘에 의해서 에너지가 최소화되는 수렴하는 모델이다. 외부힘은 GVF로 불리며, 그레이레벨 또는 영상으로 부터의 이 진경계지도의 구배가 확산되는 것을 계산한다. 실험결과 복부대동맥박리에 적용해서 3차원 표면재구성을 성공했으며, 분할알고리듬의 특성으로 시각적 및 정량적인 평가도 성공했다.

A six-year old bitch pregnant with prolonged gestation over about one month was ovariohysterectomied. The bitch was proved to be normal by physical and biochemical examination and had not a purulent vaginal discharge. A large firm mass was palpated in left caudoventral abdomen. Radiography identified the mass as a fetus. The abdominal ultrasono-graphy identified the fetus was dead. Caesarian section through the median raphe over linea alba was attempted. Adhensions were found between the uterus, stomach, spleen, urinary bladder, and abdominal viscera. Two fragments of bone were found in the abdominal cavity because of rupture of left uterine horn. Radiography and ultrasonography were proved to be of use to diagnose prolonged fetal mummification. Ovario-hysterectomy was considered to be choice of treatment to remove the prolonged mummified fetus.

5 years Poodle was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chonnam National University in January 1997, with progressive swelling on the rear xiphoid process after cesarean section last year in local-vet clinic. Physical, radiographic, ultrasonographic and intraoperative findings that were obtained from this case were as follow; Physical findings were known as no pain, no fever in the hernia] sal at palpation. Radiographic findings revealed the decreased density of swelling contents more than peritoneum and did not identify the abdominal wall defect line. Ultrasonographic findings showed abdominal wall defect line of 3mm and intra-abdominal originated fat contents with mixed echo(hypoechoic). During the operation, falciform ligament into the hernial sac was observed and not excised, manipulated back into the cavity. The dog was given an herniorraphy with no recurrence and infection.

서울에 거주하는 36세의 가정주부가 복부의 종류로 인해 내원하였다. 국소마취 하에 복부의 피하지방층에 있는 종류를 제거하여 지름 3 cm정도의 낭과 그 속에 7×4 mm크기의 충체를 얻었다. 이 환자는 생선회를 즐겨 먹은 과거적이 있었으며 충체를 acetocarmine 염색하여 관찰한 결과 폐흡충으로 동정하여 이에 폐흡충중의 이소기생례를 보고하는 바이다.

Objectives : To review the needling depth, therapeutic and adverse effects of intraperitoneal acupuncture and related acupoints. Methods : Studies and reports from the literature, Korean medical health insurance data and databases were searched and selected. Results : The depth of needle insertion for acupoints related to intraperitoneal acupuncture has been documented to range from 0.9 to 10.5 cm depending on the acupoints and literature. In studies of safe needling depth, the justice of safe needling depth varied from study to study, but was generally based on the peritoneum, and the depth varies by patient age, sex, body type, and weight. Clinical studies in China have shown good efficacy and no side effects of abdominal long needle acupuncture, but there have been case reports of adverse events following abdominal acupuncture. Conclusions : To ensure both therapeutic effectiveness and safety of intraperitoneal acupuncture, It is necessary to utilize the ultrasound in clinical practice and conduct related research.

Efficacy of a 1% solution of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) infu7ed into the peritoneal cavity of dogs was evaluated for prevention of intraperitoneal adhesion, resulting from operations of the reproductive tract. Saline-treated deles (n = 5) were controls that underwent ventral midline celiotomy, and adhesions were cleated by incision and scraping about 5 cm segment of each uterine horn. Saline (7 ml/kg of body weight) was then infused into the peritoneal cavity. Others (n = 5) were treaded similarly to the saline-treated dogs. except that 1% SCMC :solution (7mH/kg of body weight) was infused into the peritoneal cavity. This group was studied to determine whether SCHC would prevent the adhesions in the peritoneal cavity, especially in the uterine horn model. Abdominal adhesions were evaluated and an adhesion severity score was assigned to each dog on the basis of severity of adhesions. At the time of necropsy. the mean adhesion score in the saline treated group was $2.65{\pm}0.22.$ In contrast, adhesion formation in the SCMC treated group was less ($mean score =1.70{\pm}0.26$). Statistic71 analysis was performed using the grouped t-test and paired t-test. A significanlty lower adhesion score was observed in dogs given SCMC than in the saline treated group (P<0.01). In summary, SCMC significantly reduced adhesion formation in the dog uterine horn model. The results of this study suggest that application of 1% SCMC solution, following various reproductive pelvic surgery, will present the adhesions.

An intact male, 3-month-old, Great Pyrenees mountain dog, weighing 7.3 kg with a history of severe hematuria during 2 months was referred. Hematology showed mild leukocytosis. There were no remarkable findings in abdominal radiographs due to ingesta and gas in the gastrointestinal tracts. Ultrasonographs showed bilateral hydronephrosis, bilateral dilated and tortuous ureters, and hyperechoic sludges in the urinary bladder (UB). And a dilated cavity was identified cranial to the UB. Excretory urography and cystography were performed to examine the cause of hydronephrosis and an abnormal cavity cranial to the UB. Bilateral ureters were tortuously dilated and opened into the craniodorsal part of the UB. An abnormal cavity was connected to the UB at the left cranioventral part of the UB. Therefore bilateral ectopic ureters and urachal remnant were diagnosed.

Fibrinopurulent peritonitis and abdominal abscesses associated with Streptococcus (S.) equi subsp. zooepidemicus is reported in a 1-year-old female thoroughbred horse. The horse died after showing 5-day history of the cold, severe abdominal distention, abdominal breathing, hyperthermia, anorexia, and loss of intestinal sound. At necropsy, several liters of turbid yellowish green fluid were seen in the abdominal cavity. Yellowish creamy and fibrinous or bloody materials were presented on the serosa of various abdominal organs that were intensively adhered with each other. Spleen and mesenteric lymph node were remarkably enlarged. Affected lobes of the lung showed severe congestion, hemorrhage and doughy consistency. Histologically, the lung showed hemorrhagic pneumonia with diffuse congestion and edema. Severe diffuse fibrinopurulent peritonitis with Gram-positive bacterial cocci and adjacent fibrosis were showed in the serosa of various abdominal organs such as liver, spleen, stomach, and intestine. And multifocal abscess pouches were presented in the granulation tissue of abdominal viscera. S. equi subsp. zooepidemicus was isolated from the peritoneal swab, abdominal organs, and lung. Hematogenous dissemination of bacteria from hemorrhagic pneumonia is proposed as the route of infection in this case.
