1.Comparison of an Antiperistaltic Ileostomy with the Conventional Ileostomy.
Journal of the Korean Surgical Society 1998;54(1):75-79
Permanant ileostomy is necessary in the case of a total proctocolectomy for a cancerous change in the distal rectum due to ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis coli, but the fecal content after a conventional ileostomy is usually liquid or semiliquid. Sometimes, this resultes in dehydration and some nutrient loss. Nahm-gun Oh has designed an antiperistaltic ileostomy for formed stool evacuation. About a 25 cm length of the most distal ileum is cut, this segment is reversed, and then the antiperistaltic ileostomy is performed. The authors have performed antiperistaltic ileostomies in 6 cases of familial adenomatous polyposis or ulcerative colitis with a cancerous change in the low rectum. During the past 5 years and 7 months at the Department of Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital, we found that the profuse ileostomy discharge of the conventional ileostomy was decreased in the antiperistaltic ileostomy group, and that the antiperistaltic ileostomy discharge had a liquid component which was markedly decreased compared to that of the conventional ileostomy discharge. In addition, the antiperistaltic ileostomy discharge appeared to be much more solid and less voluminous. In conclusion, the antiperistaltic ileostomy should be considered for creating the effect of a reservoir by producing intestinal stasis proximal to the segment. The antiperistaltic ileostomy is effective in reducing the daily amount of ileostomy discharge and is convenient for stoma care due to the diminished water content in the discharge.

Monitoring of the central venous pressure is a simple, relatively inexpensive method of assessing a patient's cardiac status, circulating blood volume, and vasomotor tone. The simplest way of checking the intrathoraeic location of the catheter tip is by observing oscillation of 2~4cmH2O in the manometer column, synchronous with respiratory cycle. Inaccurate measurements are often obtained by the misplacement of the central venous catheter tip, in addition to the other well-known complications. Radiographic identification of the catheter tip is essential to eliminate these problems. We experienced a case of arrhythmia which appeared upon misplacement of the central venous catheter tip, and confirmed its misplacement by radiographic study.

Actinic reticuloid as a manifestation of chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) is a rare dermatosis whose clinical and histologic features resemble other types of pseudolymphomas including mycosis fungoides and Jessner's lymphocytic infiltration, and it is regarded as an eventual stage of various photodermatoses like photosensitive eczema or persistent light reaction or chronic photoallergic contact dermatitis and so on. Phototests in the patients with actinic reticuloid usually reveal hypersensitivity to UVB, UVA, and sometimes to visible light. We present a case of actinic reticuloid in a 65-year-old male, whose skin lesions developed as erythematous lichenified infiltrating plaques on the face at first, and then spread themselves onto the upper trunk later. Histologically those skin lesions showed the aggregation of atypical lymphocytes and photobiologically the results of phototests revealed photosensitivity to UVB and UVA.

BACKGROUND: Calcium channel blockers and volatile anesthetics have depressant effects on cardiac function. Both of them appear to exert, qualitatively and quantitatively, different effects on myocardial contractility, coronary flow, and myocardial oxygen balance. The aim of this study was to examine the direct cardiac effects of the enflurane in the presence of diltiazem. METHODS: Isolated Sprague-Dawley rat hearts (N=45) were perfused at constant pressure with oxygenated Modified-Krebs solution (pH 7.4, 37oC). Isovolumetric left ventricular pressure (LVP) and dP/dt were measured via a latex balloon and transducer. Also, coronary flow and oxygen tensions at the coronary inflow and outflow were measured. After stabilization period, all hearts were subjected to the application with diltiazem (100 ng/ml). Thereafter, they were subdivided into three groups; group 1, 2, 3. Groups subjected to the combination of diltiazem (100 ng/ml) with enflurane 1.1, 2.2, or 3.3 vol%, respectively. RESULTS: After the application of diltiazem, myocardial contractility and heart rate were significantly decreased, and coronary flow were significantly increased. The combination of diltiazem with enflurane depressed myocardial contractility, heart rate, myocardial O2 consumption, and percentage of O2 extraction more than diltiazem alone, and their effects were dependent on the concentration of enflurane. However, there was no difference in the change of coronary flow and oxygen delivery between diltiazem and the combination of diltiazem with enflurane. CONCLUSIONS: These in vitro findings demonstrate that the combination of diltiazem with enflurane shows greater direct negative inotropic and negative chronotropic effect, and is associated with less attenuation of coronary autoregulation, but with a larger reduction in O2 utilization. The present results suggest that high enflurane anesthesia in the diltiazem-pretreated patients could result in profound cardiac depression.

PURPOSE: For those women with breast cancer who require mastectomy for surgical treatment, consideration should be given to optimize the cosmetic outcome. Skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) is being used more frequently to treat many of these patients. Skin-sparing mastectomy can maximize breast skin preservation and facilitate immediate reconstruction, and so result in an excellent cosmetic appearance. The aim of this study was to access the local recurrence rate of breast cancer after SSM. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted of 53 patients who underwent skin-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction between January 1996 and February 2006. Immediate reconstruction was achieved via the TRAM flap or latissimus dorsi flap or artificial bag. The mean follow-up time was 34.6 months (range: 7~142 months). RESULTS: Local recurrence occurred in 1 (2.1%) of 53 patients. The time to local recurrence was 44 months. The patient with local recurrence was well controlled by wide excision and postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient with local recurrence is still free of disease. Distant metastasis occurred in 7 (14.9%) of 53 patients. Of the 7 patients with distant metastasis, 1 patient was died from brain involvement. CONCLUSION: The risk of local recurrence after skin-sparing mastrectomy was not different from that of conventional mastectomy. Local recurrence was effectively managed with surgical excision of the involved tissues and then administering chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

Background: The highly lipid soluble opioid, fentanyl, has a rapid onset and short duration of action. The present study was designed to examine the analgesic efficacy and side effects of the combination of fentanyl with morphine in patients using intravenous PCA. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to receive one of three PCA regimens: M4 group (40 mg morphine+90 mg ketorolac+1.5 mg dorperidol), M2F2 group (20 mg morphine+200 ug fentanyl+90 mg ketorolac+1.5 mg dorperidol), or M2F4 group (20 mg morphine+400 ug fentanyl+90 mg ketorolac+1.5 mg dorperidol). All patients were given initial loading dose of 0.1 mg/kg morphine plus 1 mg droperidol at the end of surgery. Pain score, side effects, and overall satisfaction were assessed at 30 min, 1 hr, 8 hr, 24 hr, and 48 hr postoperatively. Results: The pain score was significantly higher in the M2F2 group than in the M4 group and M2F4 group during 1 hr and 8 hr postoperatively. The total opioid consumption was significantly greater in the M2F4 group than in the M4 group. Patient satisfaction was better in the M2F4 than other two groups. There were no differences in the overall incidence of side effects among three groups. Conclusions: The present results suggest that the combination of fentanyl with morphine for intravenous patient-controlled analgesia is a useful method, and the double dose of fentanyl in comparison with the equipotent morphine dose is recommended in the early postoperative period.

Journal of the Korean Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine 1999;23(4):695-702
OBJECTIVE: To identify the neurobehavioral impairment in the traumatic brain injured (TBI) patients and to determine the relationship between the neurobehavioral impairment and functional recovery. METHOD: We analyzed and compared Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores and neurobehavioral psychometry results in 16 patients with severe TBI. The neurobehavioral psychometry tests included Minimental Status Examination (MMSE), Galvestone Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT) as screening tools, Korean Wechsler Intelligence Scale (KWIS) for intelligence, Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) test for memory function, Color Trail test (CTT) 1 and 2 for attention and concentration, Grooved Pegboard Test (GPT) and Finger Tapping Test (FTT) for motor function, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) for executive function, and Symptom Checklist-90-Revision (SCL-90-R) for personality. RESULTS: At discharge, neurobehavioral psychometry of the TBI patients showed impairment of the attention and concentration as demonstrated by severe and moderate impairment in CTT 1 and CTT 2, repectively. Memory disturbance was also noted by the result of mental retardation in WMS-R. But GOAT and MMSE showed normal, KWIS was below average. Motor dysfunction was seen in GPT and FTT and mild executive dysfunction in WCST. Functional recuperation was influenced by attention and concentration, as the FIM score has significant correlation with CTT 1 and FTT. CONCLUSION: The TBI patients have the pervasive neurobehavioral impairment, especially severe dysfunction in the memory, attention and concentration. And functional recovery was significantly correlated with attention. The neurobehavioral psychometry will be useful in neurobehavioral evaluation in TBI patients. A further prospective study using Neurobehavioral psychometry would bring a more precise and valuable information.
