Background: This study was aimed to compare the analgesic effect and side effects of morphine- bupivacaine mixture with those of fentanyl-bupivacaine mixture after Cesarean section. Methods: Eighty patients who were taken continuous epidural catheterization after Cesarean section were divided into two groups. In group 1 (N=40) the mixture of 1% lidocaine 10 ml and morphine 1mg was firstly injected via epidural catheter, and then two day infusor (Baxter(R)) which contained the mixture of 0.15% bupivacaine 100 ml and morphine 6mg was connected to epidural catheter. In group 2 (N=40) the mixture of 1% lidocaine 10 ml and fentanyl 100 mcg was firstly injected via epidural catheter, and then two day infusor (Baxter(R)) which contained the mixture of 0.15% bupivacaine 100 ml and fentanyl 850 mcg was connected to epidural catheter. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were checked preoperatively, and at post-injection 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was checked at postoperative 1/2, 1, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. The side effects of epidural analgesia were evaluated. Results: In group 2 MAP was significantly decreased at post-injection 20 minute. VAS was significantly increased at post-injection 1/2 and 1 hour in group 1. The most frequent side effect was pruritus in both groups. Conclusions: The first bolus injection of the mixture of 1% lidocaine 10 ml and fentanyl 100 mcg has more rapid analgegic effect than the mixture of 1% lidocaine 10 ml and morphine 2 mg, but because of shorter duration of action of fentanyl it seems to be better to increase the dosage of fentanyl or replace fentanyl by morphine for more effective epidural analgesia after Cesarean section.

Tracheal stenosis can be caused by various etiologies, such as infectious disease, trauma from previous prolonged incubation, airway surgery, or external blunt trauma, and neoplasm. Recently, the development of emergency and intensive care units leads to the primary cause of airway stenosis using airway devices. The stenotic lesions can be produced at any level between the vocal cord and the site of the tip of the tube. Laryngotracheal stenosis may be due to prolonged endotrachel intubation, especially with large tube, large tracheostomy stoma, too highly placed oacheostomy, erosion by local infection, the prying action of heavyweight equipment that connects the tracheostomy to the ventilator, excessive cuff pressure, or erosion by the tip of the tube. Prevention of tracheal stenosis is of key importance by understanding and attending to these causes. We experienced three cases of tracheal stenosis occurred after use of airway devices. In first and second cases, We performed end-to-end anastomosis artier resection of stenotic segment of the trachea in a 22-year-ol4 female and a 25-year-old male. They ha6 been treated with prolonged endotracheal incubation and emergency tracheostomy, respectively, for a ventilatory support for the respiratory failure after falling down from a height. The stenotic lesions occurred at the cuff site in the first case and at the stomal level in the second case. In third case, We performed one-stage laryngotracheoplastic procedure for subglottic stenosis in a 23-year-old male. He had been treated with emergence tracheostomy which had been placed too high for a ventilators support for the respiratory failure after traffic accident. The stenotic lesion occurred at the stomal level. The postoperative courses were uneventful.

This study was conducted to set up a common mechanism for varying phases of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS) by comparing the morphological differences between human FSGS and changes in 5/6 renal ablation animal model, which has been accepted as experimental prototype for hyperfiltration theory as pathogenesis of FSGS. Both the human and the experimental rats showed very similar changes such as segmental glomerulosclerosis, vacuole formations or inclusion of small granules of podocytes, appearance of foamy cells in the capillary lumina, eosinophilic deposits along the mesangial area, and focal atrophy of tubules with associated interstitial fibrosis. The halo, frequently seen in human FSGS, is due to detachment of visceral epithelium from basement membrane, however, did not appear in the experimental rat specimen. On the other hand, the foamy cells and hyalinization were more frequently noted in the rat series and even involved the arterioles. The mesangial proliferation never appeared in the rat series occasionally found in human FSGS. In conclusion, the pathogenesis of FSGS cannot depend solely on the hyperfiltration theory of hemodynamic derangement, but has complex impairment of visceral epithelium and cells forming the constituents of basement membrane.

Partial trisomy 10q syndrome is a rare chromosome anomaly characterized by severe mental and growth retardation, craniofacial dysmorphia with prominent forehead, fine arched eyebrows, deep set small eyes and micrognathia, In addition, other physical manifestations have been reported as skeletal anomaly, congenital heart disease, inguinal hernia, and so on. We report a case of partial trisomy 10q syndrorne with certain stigmata which confirmed by chromosome analysis.
