Lavage on the table of the colon. During 20 months, from June 1995 to February 1997, at the University clinic, Choray and Thongnhat hospitals, 11 lavages on the table of the colon were realized. All patients have the adenocarcinoma of the left colon that 5 obstructions and 6 stenosis. The average of the time of the lavage is 35 minutes, the volume of the lavage water is 13 litres. No death, no leakage of the anastomosis, one infected wound. The author concluded: with the lavage on the table of the colon, one - stage left clectomy could replace two - stage left clectomy in emergency case.

During 5/2000 - 5/2001, the nuclear medicine depar. of Cho Ray hospital implemented the scintigraphic application of myocardial blood irrigation for 144 cases (93 with 99 mTc-MIBI, 33 with 201 TI and 14 with 99m Tc MIBI combined with 201 TI). The results from angiography have shown that the sensitivity and specificity of scintigraphy in the diagnosis of the coronary arterial pathology was 92% and 71.4%, respectively. The scintigraphy for myocardial blood irrigation was a sensitive, noninvasive and valuable method of diagnosis of the coronary arterial pathology

In order to obtain a complete and lees contaminated lung washings from the rabbits, the left lung of rabbit was subjected to lavage with saline by altering the number of washing, i.e.: once, twice and thrice, and surface tension, protein content and phospholipid content of the lung washings were measured. Surface tension was measured by the modified Langmuir-Wilhelmy balance, Phospholipid content was determined by the modified method of Baginski, and protein content by the method of Lowry et al. The results obtained are summerized as follows: 1. The maximal surface tension, minimal surface tension, stability index, protein content and phospholiped content of left lung washings (once) were 53.9+/-2.7 dyne/cm, 11.4+/-8.4 dyne/cm, 1.4+/-0.4, 127.2+/-6.0 ug/ml, and 306.8+/-65.4 ug/ml, respectively. 2. The maximal surface tension, stability index, protein content and phospholipid content of left lung washings (twice) were 55.5+/-2.4 dyne/cm, 5.0+/-2.2 dyne/cm, 1.7+/-0.2, 166.6+/-11.0 ug/ml and 283.5+/-40.1 ug/ml, respectively. 3. The maximal surface tension, minimal surface tension, stability index, protein content, and phospholipid content of left lung washings (thrice) were 53.6+/-2.6 dyne/cm, 6.2+/-2.2 dyne/cm, 1.6+/-0.1, 184.3+/-15.4 ug/ml and 368.3+/-68.2 ug/ml, respectively. 4. The above results indicate that the most optimal number of rabbit left lung washing is twice.

To determine the most effective and tolerable method of preparation with Golytely for colonoscopy, 141 consecutive cases were randomly allocated to drink either 2,000cc(74 cases, Group I) or 4,000cc(67 cases, Group 2), with infusion rate of 1,000cc/h. The reaults were as follows. 1) The rates of effective colonic clearance in group 1 and group 2 was 94.6% and 94.0%, respectively. There is no significance difference between two groups. 2) There was no significant difference in the ingested volume until the first bowel movement and the time required for rectal efflunt to be clear between two groups. 3) Patient acceptance was higher in group 1 than in group 2. 4) Side effects were less noticed in group 1 than group 2, and incraased in body weight (average 0.8 kg) after ingestion of Golytely was observed only in group 2.

PURPOSE: We studied the adequate amount of pulse lavage irrigation for removal of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and bone particles after cemented total knee arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective study of 8 patients who received cemented total knee arthroplasty between March 2011 and November 2011, was done. The mean age of patients was 74.0 (range 65~84). After component implantation, the knees were lavaged with 10L of normal saline using pulsatile lavage; all fluid was collected in 1 liter using standard wall suction canisters. PMMA and bone particles within the irrigation fluids were quantitated by weight. RESULTS: The average of 413 mg/L (range, 71~999 mg/L) of particle debris was removed after cemented total knee arthroplasty with 1L of irrigation. Average of 230 mg/L (range, 51~432 mg/L), 112 mg/L (range, 32~185 mg/L), 48 mg/L (range, 21~125 mg/L), 47 mg/L (range, 10~120 mg/L), 45 mg/L (range, 5~140 mg/L), 49 mg/L (range, 0~110 mg/L), 46 mg/L (range, 0~107 mg/L), 50 mg/L (range, 5~85 mg/L), 41 mg/L (range, 3~68 mg/L) of debris was removed after the second, third ,fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth liter of pulse lavage irrigation respectively. Using analysis of variance testing, there was a statistically significant difference between the debris removed with 1L and until 4L irrigation (p=0.03). CONCLUSION: The bone debris and PMMA decreased as the amount of irrigation increased, especially most of remnants within more than 5L solution for irrigation were bone particles. 4L of irrigation through pulse lavage is appropriate for removing PMMA and bone particles after cemented total knee arthroplasty because a supplementary irrigation can cause a secondary bone loss.

The Pumping technique generally has been known as a diagnostic method that predicts intracapsular status and selects required evaluation and treatment. But, in addition to this indication, when it is followed by Lavage and Manipulation technique, this may be used as therapeutic method that is effective on Closed Lock with limited mouth opening and pain. Therefore, we examined results of this technique abut Closed Lock and would like to report therapeutic effects of Lavage and Manipulation technique. We selected 40 patients of 200 patients diagnosed as Closed Lock over 53 months from SEP. 1991 to PEB. 1996, who were possible follow-up and performed by Lavage and Manipulation technique. Appraisal between pre-procedure and post-procedure was performed just after procedure, in 1 month and in 3 months, and therapeutic effects were divided by marked, useful, a little useful and ineffective. As a result, Lavage and Manipulation technique had remarkable increase of maximum mouth opening(>5mm) in 39 persons(98%) just after proceure, 36 persons(90%) in 1 month, and 39 persons(98%) in 3 months, and subsided pain completely just after procedure and had remarkable decrease of pain in 30 persons(75%) in 1 month, 32 persons(80%) in 3 months. So we concluded that the Lavage and Manipulation technique is effective therapy of Closed Lock which can be used with ease.
