48 patients with the fluid colonal functional disorder used “Tu than” pill at dose of 10g/day x2 times/day after a meal within 30 days. The results have showed that after 30 days of the treatment, the symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, cold anxiety were improved. The drug was well tolerated, easy to use and had a little side effects.

Coloduodenal fistula (CDF) is uncommon, and it is often secondary to other colon and duodenal diseases that are benign or malignant. The clinical manifestations of CDF are variable, and upper abdominal pain, feculent vomiting and diarrhea are the common symptoms. Digestive tract contrast radiography and enhanced CT imaging are very helpful for diagnosing CDF, and gastrointestinal endoscopy can give more information about the fistula. Procedure selection should depend on whether the primary disease is malignant and the extent of the lesion. Because the duodenum has complicated anatomic relationship with its adjacent organs including bile duct system and pancreas, procedure for this clinical entity is a challenging task. Decision-making and experienced surgical skills are critical.

Pilonidal disease is a common clinical condition which is not sufficiently recognized with regard to the clinical manifestation and treatment by colorectal surgeons in China, resulting in high misdiagnosis rate and recurrent rate. With reference to the Practice Parameters for the Management of Pilonidal Disease published in 2013 by The American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, we discuss the management of pilonidal disease in four aspects, including etiology, diagnoses, nonoperative and operative management.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Some studies showed the higher prevalence of H. pylori infection in the patients with colon adenoma and carcinoma than control subjects. The association between H. pylori infection and colonic diseases is controversial. We evaluated H. pylori infection rate and the related upper gastrointestinal lesions in the patients with colon polyp and cancer. METHODS: Ninety-four subjects, 67 with colonic lesions and 27 without colonic lesions were enrolled. Colon polyp and cancer were confirmed by colonoscopic biopsy or polypectomy. The enrolled subjects were received gastroduodenoscopic examination. H. pylori infection was evaluated serologically and/or with rapid urease test. The fasting serum gastrin level was measured. RESULTS: H. pylori infection rates in the patients with and without colonic lesions were 67.2% and 44.4%, respectively (p<0.05). Upper gastrointestinal lesions were observed in 27 of 67 patients (40.3%) with colonic lesions and in 11 of 27 patients (40.7%) without colonic lesions (p=1.0). Mean levels of serum gastrin with and without colonic lesions were 91.7+/-31.1 pg/mL and 88.1+/-37.7 pg/mL, respectively (p=0.15). CONCLUSIONS: Our study supports the relationship between H. pylori infection, colorectal neoplasia. Although there was no significant difference, the possibility of the simultaneous presence of upper gastrointestinal lesions in the patients with colorectal polyp and cancer was suggested. But the relationship between serum gastrin and the development of colorectal polyp and cancer was not documented.

Recently the incidence of colonic disease increases in Korea. Because a large proportion of polyps and cancer occur in the rectosigmoid colon, fecal occult blood test and sigmoidoscopy have been used widely in screening test. (continue...)

Multiple primary colorectal carcinomas are not rare and occur more often than what can be ascribed to chance, but the frequencies on record vary. The tumors are usually classified as synchronous if they are present at the same time. It is often difficult to detect all these multiple lesions preoperatively:a correct diagnosis is frequently obtained only upon examination of the resected specimen. Triple synchronous primary colon cancer is an exceedingly rare disease. Despite of its rarity, multiple colon cancers should be investigated in the patients in whom clinical or laboratory evidence of colon cancer is suspected. Recently, we experienced one case of triple synchronous primary colon cancer diagnosed by colonoscopy before operation and report here with the review of the literature.

Comparison between Americans colonic diseases are much less prevalence in Korea. But, recent days much increased incidence in these disases caused by changes of food habits and development of diagnostic methods. We studied 1456 cases who complained colonic symptoms and colonofiberscopic biopsy was taken from 1981 to 1985 at Han Yang Univ. Hospital, Age, Sex, elinical symptoms, histopathological findings, location and relation between of barium study were analized for 1002 cases wha confirmed by biopsy. (continue...)

In 2015, capsule endoscopy was introduced as the main investigation method for small bowel mucosal diseases, and its role in colonic diseases has been gradually revealed. Future challenges for capsule endoscopy, besides improvements of image quality and visualization of each part of the small bowel and colonic mucosa, include the development of gastric capsules, the capacity to perform histological examination of the mucosa, and maybe in the future, some capsule endoscopy-driven therapeutics. The aim of this review was to evaluate the clinical demands and feasibility of achieving the aforementioned objectives.
