Bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma accounts for less than 6% of all primary lung cancer but has distinct clinical and radiological features and unusual pathologic appearance. The characteristic features are its peripheral location and tendency of rapid progression to diffuse type via aeroginous and lymphatic route without surgical intervention. Among them, mucin secretory type bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma is the rarest and most distinctive. We experienced a case of mucin secretory type bronchioloalveolar cell carcinoma in a 47 year old female with roentgenographic findings of chronic progressive pulmonary consolidation with muliple cavities.

Pneumatic rupture is a rare cause of esophageal injury, as evidenced by only 19 cases reported in the literature. We experienced one case of esophageal rupture due to bursting of a truck inner tube. The patient, who was a 45-year old male, had severe chest pain, respiratory distress, flushing in the face and neck, and subcutaneous emphysema after tire explosion. Three days after the incident, a diagnosis of rupture of the thoracic esophagus was established by esophagogram using water soluble contrast media, and then emergency operation was done. The operation involved mediastinal and thoracic drainage and resection of the esophagus combined with cervical esophagostomy and feeding gastrostomy. On the 105th day after the operation, cervical esophagogastrostomy via substernal route was performed. The patient was successfully treated with the staged operations. As in the other reported cases, the injury was located in the lower one third of the esophagus. Four main characteristics of the clinical signs of pneumatic rupture are 1] wounds or burns to the face or mouth, 2] chest pain or epigastric pain, 3] subcutaneous emphysema, and 4] respiratory distress. We emphasize that the high index of suspicion of esophageal rupture is very important in diagnosis and that diagnosis should be based on the same findings common to other forms of esophageal injury.

Congenital tuberculosis (TB) is a rare disease that is associated with high mortality. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent, may be transmitted from the infected mother to the fetus by the transplacental route or by aspiration of infected amniotic fluid. Clinical symptoms and signs are not specific. Miliary patterns are the most common findings in the chest X-rays of many infants with congenital TB. In this case, an 18-day-old boy had jaundice on the fifth day of birth, and fever and respiratory distress appeared on the 18th day. Chest X-ray showed diffuse fine bilateral infiltration. Clinically, pneumonia or sepsis was suspected. Respiratory symptoms and chest X-ray findings worsened despite empirical antibiotic therapy. The lungs showed miliary infiltration suggestive of TB. Gastric aspirates were positive for M. tuberculosis. Respiratory distress and fever were gradually improved after anti-TB medication. Congenital TB is difficult to detect because of minimal or no symptoms during pregnancy and nonspecific symptoms in neonates. Hence, clinicians should suspect the possibility of TB infection even if neonates have non-specific symptoms. Early diagnosis and meticulous treatment are required for the survival of neonates with TB.

Delayed cardiac tamponade in an uncommon and frequently fatal complication after open-heart surgery. We had been experienced two cases of delayed cardiac tamponade as a complication of open-heart surgery and treated successfully by reinsertion of pericardial drain through subxiphoid route. First case was 60 years old female patient and underwent MVR under impression of MSi + Ti Second case was 19 years old male patient and underwent total correction of T.O.F.with Blalock shunt [Lt]. Both cases had Initial symptoms, which were epigastric pain, chest tightness, dropped blood pressure, and increased pulse rate and respiratory rate, mimic as low cardiac output syndrome after open-heart surgery. Roentgenogram of the chest showed a rapid increased cardiothoracic ratio. It is important to realize the presence of late cardiac tamponade for proper diagnosis of complication after open-heart surgery.

Laryngeal foreign bodies are not common among the foreign bodies of aerodigestive tract. It is relatively easy to diagnose in acute phase of entry because of a readily\ulcorner available history of intake, and signs or symptoms referable to the foreign body in the highly sensitive air passage. However, on occasion, sudden death by respiratory failure occurs due to complete obstruction of airway. Therefore, it is common and safe to remove the laryngeal foreign bodies by suspension laryngoscope under general anesthesia after tracheostomy. Recently, the authors experienced a case of metallic foreign body in larynx penetrating neck, which was removed by suspension laryngoscope under general anesthesia without any life threatening complication.

Aspergillosis, caused by infection with Aspergillus fumigatus and less commonly by other Aspergillus species, is a prevalent and costly respiratory disease of poultry, In a flock of chicks, the number of birds, 4∼5 months old, had become gradually emaciated and subsequently died. Gross necropsy revealed multiple granulomatous masses on the abdominal serosa. The masses, 4∼15 mm in size, were attached on mainly intestinal wall. Also, the smaller masses in size were on mesentery and pancreas. However, only a few small white nodules were scattered throughout liver and lung in few samples. Microscopically, the mass were granulomatous with a central area of necrosis containing numerous septate, branched fungal hypae consistent with Aspergillus sp. These were surrounded by macrophages, giant cells, lymphocytes and fibrous tissues. Nodular lesions of liver and lung were seemed to spread hemotogenously from intestine and the possible route of infection was speculated by oral. This report is a Aspergillus-induced granuloma limited to the serosa of abdominal cavity, especially of intestinal wall.

Anxiety and phobia in dental procedures are common deterrents for patients visiting the dental care unit. For these individuals, procedural sedation may aid in completion of dental treatments. In most cases, the patients are conscious during sedation, thereby allowing spontaneous ventilation. Intravenous sedation (IVS) is widely used during dental treatment to relieve patient anxiety. IVS is the most effective route of administration to achieve this goal, but it requires advanced training, more than that provided during undergraduate education. During IVS, rapid onset, repetitive drug administration, easy titration, and rapid recovery from sedation can be achieved. However, conscious sedation during IVS can result in deep sedation that can cause respiratory and cardiovascular depression. Therefore, the characteristics of intravenous sedatives should be known. The purpose of this review is to discuss the characteristics and usage of intravenous sedatives currently used for dental procedures.

배경: 식도암 절제 후 대치장기의 흉곽 내 경로는 환자의 상태, 암의 성상, 수술자의 기호나 경험 등에 따라 다양한 선택이 있다. 그 중 개흉술 후 피하 통로나 흉골하 통로를 이용하는 방법은 수술시간이 길며 술후 호흡기 합병증 등이 많이 발생한다는 보고가 있다. 본 연구는 대치장기의 흉곽 내 경로가 그러한 수술경과에 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 계획되었다. 대상 및 방법: 식도암 절제 후 재건술을 시행 받은 131명의 환자 중, 대치장기의 경로가 후종격(I군, n=34), 흉골 하부(II군, n=31), 피하(III군, n=21)로 만들어 준 86명을 선택하여 각각의 조기 성적 및 합병증 등을 비교하였다. 결과: 남녀는 각각 79명 및 7명이었다. 암의 성상은 편평 상피암(squamous cell carcinoma)이 81명, 악성 선종(adenocarcinoma)이 5명이었다. 각 군의 수술 전 몸무게, 키, 나이, 식도암의 병기 및 위치, 전신상태 평가, 폐기능에서 차이가 없었다. 조기 성적에서 수술시간에는 유의한 차이 없었으나, 술후 인공호흡기 사용시간은 I군 (평균 20.6시간)에서 II군(7.8시간) 및 III군(3.4시간) 보다 유의하게 길었다(p=0.005). 중환자실 체류기간은 폐렴 등의 호흡기 합병증 때문에 III군(평균 6.4일)에서 I군(3.9일) 및 II군(3.1일) 보다 유의하게 길었으나(p=0.043), 술후 입원기간의 차이는 없었다. 술후 환자 일인당 수혈량은 I군에서 II군(1535mL), III군(1419mL) 보다 유의하게 많았으며(3833mL, p=0.04), 수혈을 받은 환자수도 II군(13/31명), III군(15/21명) 보다 I군에서 더 많았으나(30/34명, p=0.001) 출혈로인한 재수술 건수에는 차이가 없었다. 조기 사망률은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 조기 사망원인 중 패혈증은 I군에서 많았으나 문합부 유출과는 관계가 없었다. 그 외 조기 합병증과 후기 합병증, 평균 생존기간 등에서 각 군간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결론: 본 연구 결과는 후종격, 흉골 하부, 피하 경로간에 조기 성적이나 합병증 및 생존율에서 차이가 없음을 보여 주었다. 따라서, 식도암 절제 후 재건술에서 대치장기의 흉곽 내 통로 선정은 수술자의 기호와 경험이 수술 결과에 중요하다고 판단한다.

Background: Various pain treatments have been administered to relieve patients suffering from postoperative pain. Among these, epidural or intravenous opiate administration is by far the most widly applied treatment in recent times. However it was our objective to device a more effective and safe means of postoperative analgesia. Methods: We studied 110 healthy pregnant women scheduled for delivery by elective cesarean section. EPI(epidural)-group is administered morphine 1.5 mg and 0.25% bupivacaine 8 ml as bolus dose, then, a mixture of morphine 6 mg and 0.125% bupivacaine 95 ml as continuous dose via epidural route. IV(intravenous)-group is administered nalbuphine 6~7 mg as bolus dose and nalbuphine 60~70 mg with 0.9% normal saline 90 ml as continuous dose via intravenous route, at the rate of 2 ml/hr for 2 days. We compared the analgesic efficacy and side effects of these two groups using VAS pain score and time duration of constant pain level. Results: VAS pain score was similar between the two groups, but pain duration was significantly shorter in EPI-group. Incidence of pruritus was significantly lower with the IV-group, of nausea and vomiting were similar for both groups, no respiratory depression for either groups. Conclusions: Although the EPI-group had better analgesic efficacy, the IV-group had lower incidence of side effects, and simplicity and safety methods of operation. Therefore, We propose further research and consideration of administering the kinds and doses of those medications prescribe to the IV group in conjunction with other drugs for safer and better efficacy of postoperative analgesia.
