비정형 항산균에 의한 근골격계 감염은 매우 드물며, 진단이 지연되는 경우가 많다. 저자들은 류마티스 관절염환자에서 수차례 스테로이드 주사 후에 생긴 M. intracellulare에 의한 관절염을 진단하고 수술적 치료없이 약물 치료만으로 좋은 결과를 보인 예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. Nontuberculous mycobacteria are ubiquitous organisms that are frequently present in the water, soil and animal reservoirs. Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections of the musculoskeletal system are rare and usually associated with predisposing factors, such as prior joint disease, trauma, use of intraarticular or oral corticosteroids, or an immunocompromised state. A sixty five-year-old patient with rheumatoid arthritis was hospitalized due to swelling on the left wrist. M. intracellulare was cultured from the aspirated joint fluid. The patient was successfully treated with clarithromycin, ethambutol, and rifampin. We report this case with review, emphasizing high suspicion for nontuberculous mycobacterial infection in patients with predisposing risk factors.

Coronary stent implacement is known as an effective treatment in the intimal dissection after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and the prevention of restenosis. However, In-stent restenosis still remains a major concern in clinical stenting. The stents were placed in 103 patients from July 1996 to March 1999 and performed follow-up coronary angiograms in 59(57.3%) patients. To identify the clinical, angiographic and procedurerelated variables 'which predict late restenosis within the stented artery, 59 patients(58.3±9.9, M:F= 41:18) were studied. The clinical characteristics of the patients were stable angina in 23(39.0%), unstable angina in 14(23.7%), acute myocardial infarction in 21(35.6%) and old myocardial infarction in 1(1.7%). Coronary stenting was performed in 1 patient(1.7%) for primary lesion, 50 patients(84.7%) for suboptimal results after PTCA, 6 patients(10.2%) for bail-out procedure, and 2 patients(3.4%) for restenotic lesions. All patients were treated with aspirin and ticlopidinc. The follow-up angiograms were obtained at 7±4 months. The overall in-stent restenosis rate was 27.1%. The coronary angiographic findings were 32 single vessel(54.2%), 19 two vessel(32.2%) and 8 three vessel disease(13.6%). The angiographic morphological characteristics were type A in 33(55.9%), type B in 14(23.7%), type C in 12(20. 3%) cases. Variables of 16 patients with restenosis were compared with those of 43 patients without restenosis. Previously known predictors for in-stent restenosis were multiple stenting, stenting for restenotic lesions, residual stenosis after stenting, stenting for total occlusion lesions, reference diameter, balloon to vessel ratio, acute gain and minimal luminal diameter after procedure, design and characteristics of stents, ostial lesion of aorta, high pressure method for stenting, lesion length, diabetes mellitus, size of artheroma, saphenous vein grafts, ulcerlating lesions and calcified lesions. In this study, Reference diameter before stenting(2.43±0.54mm vs. 2.88±0.65mm, p=0.016) and balloon-to-artery ratio(1.28±0.26 vs. 1.11±0.18, p=0.006) were predictors for in-stent restenosis. 1) The overall in-stent restenosis rate was 27.1%. 2) In the analysis of predictors for in-stent restenosis, there was no significant differences in clinical, angiographic factors between group with restenosis and without restenosis. But, Only reference diameter before stenting and balloon-toartery ratio were predictors of late in-stent restenosis. In conclusion, stenting is effective revascularisation method for selected patients with ischemic heart disease, and to minimize in-stent restenosis rate, stent implanting is achieved in a large vessel on the basis of an artery-to-stnet ration of 1:1, if possible.

Platelet aggregation is the final pathway of acute coronary syndrome such as acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa is a membrane receptor for fibrinogen and yon Willebrand factor and it plays an important role in platelet aggregation and in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndrome. It is known that polymorphism of the gene that encoding platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa(PI^A1/A2) is strongly related to acute coronary syndrome in Caucasian, but not in Koreans. We investigated relationship between platelet glycoprotein llb/Illa gene polymorphism and restenosis of coronary artery after angioplasty in Koreans. Total 371 patients(M=251. F=120) were enrolled. Angioplasty group comprised 143 patients who underwent coronary angioplasty, and in the angioplasty group, restenosis group comprised with the 65 patients who had restenotic lesion over 50% of luminal diameter in follow-up coronary angiography. Normal group comprised 153 patients who had no significant angiographic lesion and variant angina group comprised 75 patients who were positive in ergonovine test. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral arterial blood. To determine the frequency of P1^A1/A2 genotype, polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was done and the product was restricted with Mspl. 3%. agarrose gel electrophoresis showed restriction fragment length polymorphism. Clinical profile and risk factor were also reviewed. Among all 371 patients of study group, genotype of only one patients in restenosis group if is proven to be PI^A1/A2 heterozygote. All patients of normal study group, no restenosis group, and the other patients in restenosis group have an PI^A1 homozygote genotype. In our study, platelet glycoprotein IIb/Illa polymorphism has no relationship with restenosis of the coronary artery after angioplasty in Koreans. But the genotypic frequency of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa gene polymorphism in Koreans is concordant with that of previous studies.

배 경 : 거대세포바이러스 감염은 인간면역부전바이러스 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HIV) 감염자에서 발생하는 가장 중요한 기회감염증의 하나이다. 특히, 국내에서는 95%이상의 국민이 거대세포바이러스의 1차감염을 경험한 상태이므로 에이즈 환자에서 거대세포바이러스 질환의 빈도가 높을 것으로 예상된다. 대상 및 방법 : 1987년 10월부터 1996년 9월까지 서울대학교 병원에서 추적 관찰하였던 128명의 HIV 감염자를 대상으로 하였다. 이들 환자의 의무 기록에서 임상 자료를 얻었다. 거대세포바이러스 망막염은 안과 전문의의 임상적인 소견으로 진단하였으며, 위장관 등 망막이외 부위의 거대세포마이러스 질환은 조직학적으로 확인된 경우에 한하였다. 결 과 : 대상환자 128명의 추적관찰기간은 중앙값이 6(0∼59)개월 이었으며 7명 (5.4%)에서 거대세포바이러스 질환이 발생하였다. 거대세포바이러스 질환은 망막염이 6예, 식도염이 2예, 대장염이 1예, 폐렴 및 부신감염이 1예, 범발성 감염이 1예였다. 거대세포바이러스 질환의 발생빈도는 CD4+ 림프구 수가 적을수록 높았으며, CD4+ 수가 200/㎣미만인 환자 중 15% (6/33)에서 거대세포바이러스 질환이 확인되었다. 11예 중 9예를 ganciclovir로 치료하였으며 이중 7예에서 호전 또는 진행의 억제가 확인되었다. 추적관찰이 가능한 6예 중 3예 (50%)에서 재발하였다. 결 론 : 국내 에이즈 환자에서 거대세포바이러스 질환은 비교적 흔한 기회감염증이다. Background : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is one of the important opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. In Korea, seroprevalence of IgG against CMV is over 95%. Therefore, CMV diseases are expected to be a prevalent opportunistic infection in AIDS patients. in Korea. Methods : We reviewed the medical records of 128 patients with HIV infection who visited the Seoul National University Hospital during the period from Nov. 1987 TO Sep. 1996. All the patients were examined by one ophthalmologist and the diagnosis of CMV retinitis were made by funduscopic findings. Other CMV diseases were diagnosed when histopathologic examinations showed the characteristic cytomegalic cells. Results : Median duratior, of follow-up was 8 months. Eleven CMV diseases were found in 7 patients (5.4%): 6 patients ahd retinitis, 2 esophagitis, 1 colitis, 1 pneumonitis, and one patient developed disseminated infection. Fifteen percent (6/33) of the patients whose CD4+ lymphocyte counts were less than 200/㎣ at baseline developed CMV diseases. Out of the 9 cases treated with ganciclovir, 7 improved or were stabilized. No patient received maintenance treatment and 3 had relapsed. Conclusion : CMV diseases are common opportunistic infections in AIDS patients in Korea.

An 18-year-old man suffered heat stroke after continuous working for 26 hours on his first day in an aluminium utensil plant in August 1998. His job was to put a pressed aluminium utensil on the conveyer before the process of spray painting. The ranges of temperature and relative humidity measured at the local weather-station during the patient's working period were 23.6-30.2℃, 49-87% respectively. On arrival the patient was comatose and suffered generalized seizure three times. His rectal temperature was 41.2℃, blood pressure was 90/60 mmHg, pulse was 148 beats/minute and respiratory rate was 28 times/minute. The serum level of AST was 421 IU/L, ALT was 205 IU/L, LDH was 1.160 IU/L, myoglobin was higher than 500 ng/mL, CK was higher than 2,000 IU/L. He recovered consciousness 7th day of admission and discharged after 2 months but cerebellar dysarthria was remained. The patient felt himself several prodromal symptoms of heat stroke and he showed awkward behavior considered to be drowsiness, but the patient and his co-workers neglected them. This case report shows that heat stroke can be occurred tin a condition that ambient temperature, humidity, and working load are not extreme. A thorough health education and management concerned with guidelines on salt and water intake, detection of early symptoms of heat-related illness, prompt body cooling and rapid transportation to a hospital is necessary.

Objectives: In order to evaluated the prevalence and the site of infection of cytomegalovirus in terminally failing heart, cytomegaloviral DNA was detected in the explanted hearts of transplantation recipients. Methods: DNA extractions were performed from explanted failing hearts(N=22) and normal hearts(N=5) and polymerase cain reactions(PCRs) were done for detection of late gene sequence coding pp150 glycoprotein. The products were confirmed by electrophoresis on the 1% agarose gel. n order to improve the detectability of cytomegaloviral genome, nested PCRs were executed with the primers designed for the original 607 bp products. In situ PCRs also were done with the samples which were confirmed as positive for CMV viral genome by nested PCRs. Results: All patients had IgG anti-cytomegalovirus antibody and did not have IgM anti-cytomegalovirus antibody. Cytomegaloviral genomes in myocardium were detected by polymerase chain reaction. The 607bp products by PCRs were found in both explanted failing heart(3 cases/22. 13.5%) and normal hearts( 1 case/5, 20.0%). In nested PCRs, 186bp products were found in both failing hearts(LV 4/22, LA 3/2, RV 4/22, RA 0/17) and normal hearts(LV 2/5, LA 1/4, RV 2/5, RA 2/5). These was no significant change in positivity of cytomegaloviral DNA genome between failing and normal hearts. Total positivity of cytomegaloviral genome in explanted hearts was 44.4% according to the nested PCR results. The positivity of cytomegaloviral DNA by n situ PCR was 33.3%(4/12), and the site of positive reaction was the nuclei of the myocardial cells. Conclusion: Cytomegalovirus was rarely observed in explanted hearts of terminal heart failure and nested PCR could enhance the sensitivity of cytomegaloviral genome detection. The result of the in situ PCR showed the site of the cytomegaloviral infection was nuclei of the myocardial cells. Cytomegalovirus, however, might have no direct causal relationship in the development of terminal heart failure.

Is the AIMS 65 Score Useful in Prepdicting Clinical Outcomes in Korean Patients with Variceal and Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding?

( Jung Wan Choe ),( Seung Young Kim ),( Jong Jin Hyun ),( Sung Woo Jung ),( Young Kul Jung ),( Ja Seol Koo ),( Hyung Joon Yim ),( Sang Woo Lee ) 대한간학회 2017 Gut and Liver Vol.11 No.6

Background/Aims: Various clinical scoring systems, including the Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS), Rockall risk score (RS), and AIMS65 score (AIMS65), have been validated to predict the clinical outcomes in patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). We compared the performance of these three scoring systems in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with UGIB in Korea. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 286 patients with UGIB who visited emergency department. The primary outcome was the need for clinical intervention (endoscopic, radiologic, or surgical) and blood transfusion. Results: The causes of UGIB were esophageal/gastric varices in 64 patients, peptic ulcer in 168, Mallory-Weiss tear in 32, malignancy of UGI tract in eight, and unknown in 14. One hundred seventy-four (61%) patients required blood transfusion, 166 (58%) required endoscopic intervention, and 10 (3.5%) required surgical intervention. The GBS outperformed the RS and AIMS65 in predicting the need for endoscopic intervention. Conclusions: The GBS and RS were more accurate than AIMS65 in predicting the need for clinical interventions and transfusion patients with UGIB, regardless of variceal or nonvariceal bleeding. The AIMS65 may not be optimal for predicting clinical outcomes of UGIB in Korea. (Gut Liver 2017;11:813-820)
