[Surgical treatment of tuberculous abscess in chest wall].

A case of chest wall tuberculosis with empyema is reported. A 45-year-old woman with a history of right lung pleuritis was admitted to our hospital with right shoulder pain. The chest X-ray film showed abnormal shadow in the right lower lung field. Chest CT revealed right posterior chest wall abscess and localized empyema. Bacterial examination of the chest wall abscess obtained by needle aspiration biopsy disclosed positive acid-fast bacilli. Three months after starting antituberculous therapy with INH, RFP and SM, the chest wall abscess had been increased and abscess drainage was performed. After two months of tube drainage, the abscess was diminished in size and enucleation with primary closure was performed. Antituberculous chemotherapy was continued. One year after surgery, no sign of recurrence was observed and the residual empyema was decreased.

Growth inhibitory factor of human alveolar macrophage.

The effect of human lung conditioned medium (HLCM) on the DNA synthesis in cultured human alveolar macrophages (HAM) was evaluated. The medium from human lung cultured for 3 days (3d-HLCM) promoted the DNA synthesis as well as the recombinant human GM-CSF does. On the other hand, that cultured for six days (6d-HLCM) did not promote the DNA synthesis but strongly suppressed GM-CSF induced DNA synthesis in HAM. This growth inhibitory effect was also observed when several macrophage like cell lines were cultured with 6d-HLCM. Partial purification of an inhibitory factor on gel permeation HPLC revealed two distinct peaks of activity with molecular weights of 38 kd and 110 kd.

[Aortitis syndrome associated with aortic regurgitation and coronary ostial stenosis: a case of successful surgical treatment at the active stage].

A 24-year-old woman with aortic regurgitation and ostial stenosis of coronary artery due to aortitis syndrome was reported. She was admitted to the hospital with anterior chest pain. Retrograde aortogram showed aortic regurgitation and selective coronary angiogram revealed severe ostial stenosis. In spite of steroid therapy, chest pain was not controlled. In spite of the active stage, she underwent aorto-coronary bypass and aortic valve replacement. Intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) was necessary to wean from cardio-pulmonary bypass, but she recovered well and no complication was recognized after operation.

[Evaluation of treatment of lung cancer combined with the disease which has needed a semi-emergency operation].

Six cases of lung cancer combined with the disease which has needed semi-emergency operation, two cases of unstable angina, two of ileus due to colon cancer, one of impending rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysm and one of purulent cholecystitis with cholelithiasis, were discussed. Mean age was 62.0 years (range, 36 to 73); four were male and two were female. Case 1 and 2 were admitted with anterior chest pain, Case 3 with lumbago and abdominal pain, Case 4 and 5 with an abnormal shadow on chest x-ray film and Case 6 with abdominal pain. Of the two with unstable angina, one was operated on with right upper lobectomy during the first months after aorto-coronary bypass. Of the two with colon cancer, one was operated on with right upper lobectomy during about 5 weeks after right hemi-colectomy. Case 3 with abdominal aortic aneurysm operated on with left upper lobectomy during 4 weeks after replacement of abdominal aorta. Case 4 with cholecystitis was operated on with left pneumonectomy during about 3 weeks after cholecystectomy. The postoperative course of 4 cases and the post-chemotherapy condition of 2 cases were uneventful.

[A surgically treated case with lung cancer on maintenance hemodialysis].

Maintenance hemodialysis for chronic renal failure has spread all over the country, and the number of patients in whom surgical indications are considered to concomitant diseases has been increasing. A 76-year-old male was admitted due to lung cancer on maintenance hemodialysis. The chest roentgenogram showed a 2.5 cm sized coin lesion in the right middle lung field. Preoperative examinations, chest tomography, chest CT-scanning, bone scintigraphy, bronchofiberscopic biopsy, etc. led to a diagnosis of primary lung cancer (squamous cell carcinoma). Hemodialysis with prescribing nafamostat mesilate (40 mg/hour) was performed the day before the operation and on the first, fourth and sixth postoperative days. There was no postoperative bleeding. The patient has been well for 27 months postoperatively.

[A case of esophageal duplication cyst associated with a total left pericardial defect].

Esophageal duplication cyst associated with pericardial defect in a 57-year-old man is reported. Differential diagnosis was very difficult in the preoperative examination. The tumor was a cyst and its wall was a perfect replica of normal esophagus e.g. esophageal duplication, and total left pericardial defect also was found at the operation. There was no malignant or inflammation findings in the excised specimens. The association of esophageal duplication cyst associated with pericardial defect is very rare.
