4.Comparison of Epidural Anlagesia with Morphine-Bupivacaine Versus Fentanyl-Bupivacaine after Cesarean Section.
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology 1998;35(5):914-920
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.

Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1993;29(3):395-401
In order to evaluate the ability of spin-echo MR imaging to differentiate slow flow from mural thrombus in aortic diseases, we reviewed the spin-echo MR images of 13 patients with intraaortic thrombus documented by CT (N=11) or aortography (N=2). Six patients had aortic aneurysms and seven had aortic dissection. Intraaortic mural thrombi were accompanied by flow-related intraluminal signal of various patterns and extents in all 13 patients. On 10 gated MR studies, slow flow regions showed even-echo rephasing phenomenon (N=8), interslice variation of signal intensities of the intraluminal signal (N=7) and flow-related ghost artifact (N=2). However, these MR flow phenomena were obscured on two of three non-gated studies. Seven of 13 intraaortic thrombi remained hyperintense on T2-weighted second-echo images. In these circumstances, a hypointense boundary layer between slow flow and mural thrombus, which was caused by either 'boundary layer dephasing phenomenon' of slow flow or 'paramagnetic T2 shortening' of fresh clot at the edge of mural thrombus, was useful in discriminating the area of slow flow from that of mural thrombus. Proper interpretation of spin-echo MR images may obviate the need for phase display imaging or gradientecho imaging in differentiating slow flow and mural thrombus.

PURPOSE: To evaluate normal variations and thus to avoid confusion in differentiation from lesions of the accessory structures (rhomboid fossa, foramen for supraclavicular nerve, conold tubercle) of the clavicle in chest radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied the variations of the clavicle in 300 chest radiographs (134 men, 166 women) and 355 dry bones (right 166, left 189; 151 men, 74 women, 130 unknown sex). RESULTS: In chest radiographs, the incidence of the depressed rhomboid fossa was 229 cases (39.5%;male 52.0%, female 29.9%);the flat type was 329 cases (56.9%;male 45.7%, female 65.7%);and the elevated type was 20 cases (3.5%; male 2.4%, female 4.3%). In the dry bones, the incidence of the depressed thombold fossa was 129 cases (57.3%;male 59.6%, female 52.7%);the flat type was 65 cases (28.9%;male 24.5%, female 37. 8%) ;and the elevated type was 31 cases (13.8%;male 15.9%, female 9.5%). The incidence of the foramen for supraclavicular nerve was 0.8% in chest radiographs, and 1.4% in the dry bones. The incidence of the elevated conold tubercle was 65.1% (male 64.0%, female 65.9%) in chest radiographs, and 96.9% (male 95.4%, female 100.0%) in the dry bones. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of the depressed rhomboid fossa in chest radiographs was higher in men and the right clavicle. The incidence of flat rhombo~d fossa in chest radiographs decreased according to increase of age. The foramen for supraclavicular nerve was occasionally found (0.8% in chest radiographs; 1.4% in the dry bones).

10.Intrauterine Infection as a Cause of the Neonatal Pulmonary Injury and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.

Korean Journal of Pathology 2000;34(6):431-436
The pathogenetic role of intrauterine infection to the neonatal pulmonary injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia was assessed by studying the interleukin-6 (IL-6) level in the umbilical cord blood and the early morphologic changes of the neonatal lung. Patients were grouped into bronchopulmonary dysplasia (4 cases), chorioamnionitis without chronic lung injury (4 cases), and 6 cases without morphologic evidence of chronic lung injury or placental inflammation. IL-6 level of umbilical cord blood was higher in babies with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (17.7 pg/ml) compared to those with chorioamnionitis (4.7 pg/ml) or those with morphologically normal lung and placenta (6.2 pg/ml). Morphologic parameters of neonatal pulmonary injury were hyaline membrane, terminal bronchiole inflammation, terminal bronchiole regeneration, alveolar collapse and fibroblastic proliferation. Bronchiolar regeneration was the most peculiar feature seen in the lung with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Alveolar collapse and interstitial fibroblastic reaction were commonly seen in bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The postnatal age at death was higher in those with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, although the occurrence of the morphologic changes was related with the chronicity of those lesions. These findings suggest that intrauterine infection is an aggravating factor for the neonatal pulmonary injury and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, although the early stage of the lung injury is not a definitive indicator for the progressive pulmonary damage leading to the bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
