A Case of Eosinophilia with Bronchoalveolar Cell Carcinoma of Lung.: Kyeong Soon Kwon, Young Hyun Lee, Jae Chun Chung, Chong Suhi Kim, Myeun Shik Kang; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1987;4(1):165-171. Published online August 31, 1987; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1987.4.1.165

Abstract PDF: The solid and hematologic cancer are occasionally accompanied by peripheral blood eosinophilia and suggest tumor necrosis or wide dissemination, but the mechanisms underlying this curious relationship remain obscure. The association of this eosinophilic leukemoid reaction with carcinoma seems to occur must frequently with bronchogenic carcinoma. Several mechanisms for this association were considered: eosinophil chemotactic factor, eosinophil mediated by T-lymphocyte, and eosinopoietic hormone. We are here reporting a case of bronchoalveolar cell carcinoma of lung associated with peripheral eosinophilia in a 60-year-old male patient.

A Case Report of Primary Pericardial Malignant Epitheloid Mesothelioma.: Moon Ho Chung, Myung Soo Hyun, Young Jo Kim, Bong Sup Shim, Chong Suhi Kim, Dong Hyup Lee, Cheol Joo Lee, Myeun Shik Kang; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1986;3(1):301-306. Published online December 31, 1986; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1986.3.1.301

Abstract PDF: Primary pericardial mesothelioma is a rare tumor of mesodermal origin that is infrequently diagnosed antemortem and survival is short. A 60 year old male case of pericardial mesothelioma (epitheloid type) is reported. He was admitted to Yeungnam University Hospital because of chest pain, dyspnea, orthopnea and nonproductive cough. Chest x-ray suggested pericardial effusion. 2-D echocardiography showed echo free spaces of massive pericardial effusion and areas of thick hyperrefractile echoes arising from the pericardium. Pericardiocentesis was attempted and aspirated fluid was bloody exudates. Pericardial window operation with biopsy was done. Swan-Ganz catheterization showed equalization between right atrial pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. The pathologic diagnosis was established by histologic finding at pericardial biopsy.

The Clinical Analysis of Patient with Patent Ductus Arteriosus.: Myeun Shik Kang, Dong Hyup Lee, Cheol Joo Lee, Tae Eun Jung; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1986;3(1):287-292. Published online December 31, 1986; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1986.3.1.287

Abstract PDF: A clinical analysis was performed on 61 cases of patent ductus arteriosus experienced at Yeungnam University Hospital during 3 years period from April, 1984 to December, 1986. Of the 61 patient of PDA, 13 patients were male and 48 patient were female and age ranged 2 months to 26 years old with the average age of 9.4 years. The chief complaints on admission were frequent URI and dyspnea on exertion. diagnostic procedure were Doppler echocardiogram (in 53 among 61). Three postoperative complication were developed, but there was no operative mortality.

Anatomic Classification of Ventricular Septal Defects and Clinical Review of 99 Cases.: Cheol Joo Lee, Tae Eun Jung, Dong Hyup Lee, Myeun Shik Kang; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1986;3(1):221-227. Published online December 31, 1986; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1986.3.1.221

Abstract PDF: Ventricular septal defects is most common congenital cardiac anomaly in Korea and worldwide. And its clinical spectrum is well known. The anatomic classification had been undertaken by several authors, but recently Dr. Soto and Anderson's classification is widely used instead of Dr. Kirklin's it. From April, 1984 to December 1986, 99 cases of ventricular septal defects had been taken surgical repair under direct vision using conventional cardiopulmonary bypass technique at Yeungnam university hospital. The clinical spectrum was similar to other hospital, and postoperative mortality was 2%, the most common associated anomaly was patent foramen ovale, and the most common postoperative complication was incomplete or complete right bundle branch block. The rank of defects was as followings: 45 perimembranous inlet type, 21 doubly committed subarterial type, 17, perimembranous trabecular type, and 16 perimembranous outlet type. There was no muscular and mixed type.

Clinical Analysis of Open Heart Surgery: A report of 111 cases.: Cheol Joo Lee, Tae Eun Jung, Dong Hyup Lee, Myeun Shik Kang; Yeungnam Univ J Med. 1986;3(1):215-219. Published online December 31, 1986; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12701/yujm.1986.3.1.215

Abstract PDF: During 1986, 111 cases of open heart surgery were performed at Yeungnam University Hospital consisting 88 cases of congenital heart disease and 23 cases of acquired heart disease. Among 88 congenital heart disease, 72 were acyanotic group and 16 were cyanotic. Common congenital heart diseases were ventricular septal defect (51%), atrial septal defect (18%) and Tetralogy of Fallot (16%). Among 23 acquired heart disease, 22 cases were valvular heart disease and one was dissecting aortic aneurysm. Three cases of the postoperative death were present resulting 2.7% of surgical mortality rate.
