PURPOSE: Although the symptoms of benign transient non-organic ileus of neonate (BTNIN) are similar to that of Hirschsprung's disease (HD), the etiology underlying BTNIN remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to compare laboratory and clinical characteristics of BTNIN with those of HD and to clarify the possibility of an association between food allergies and BTNIN. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the data from 34 BTNIN and 11 HD patients from January 2005 to December 2011. We compared several variables between these patients, including sex, age, feeding method, rate (%) and absolute count of serum eosinophils, and eosinophil count in the rectal mucosa. Pearson chi-square tests and independent t-tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: BTNIN (N=34) is more likely to affect males as compared to HD (N=11), BTNIN had a longer duration of symptoms after birth, and BTNIN patients were more likely to be breast fed; all these factors were statistically significant (P=0.019, 0.000, and 0.000, respectively). The rate (%) and absolute count of serum eosinophils in the serum of BTNIN and HD patients was 3.9+/-2.4% and 401+/-388/HPF, respectively, and 1.4+/-0.8% and 170+/-110/HPF, respectively (P=0.001 and 0.000). Moreover, the eosinophil count in the rectal mucosa of BTNIN and HD patients was 14.4+/-12.9/HPF and 5.2+/-4.7/HPF, respectively (P=0.017). CONCLUSION: We observed that BTNIN patients exhibited a later symptom onset, and that BTNIN was more closely associated with breast feeding as compared to HD. A greater number of eosinophils were present in the serum and rectal biopsies of BTNIN patients. Thus, we suggest that BTNIN is associated with food allergy.

8.A Study on the Visual System of the Digital Periapical Images.
Journal of Korean Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology 1999;29(1):261-274
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the optimal distance and angle of observers by modulation transfer functions(MTFs) and receiver operating characteristics(ROCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Digital periapical radiograms were taken from 43 patients who have dental diseases(19 patients : dental caries, 12 patients : periapical lesions, 12 patients : periodontal diseases). Segmental images(4x4cm) were evaluated by 4 MTFs and ROC analysis. RESULTS: The optimal distance(magnification) using MTF by Mannos & Sakrison was 12.97, and those by Nill, Ngan and Rao were 8.39, 4.78, 5.84 respectively. The optimal distance obtained from 4 radiologists by ROC analysis was 32cm(Az value : 0.89), and it was 40cm(Az value : 0.78) from 4 non-radiologists. There were significant differences of Az values between 4 radiologists and 4 non-radiologists at 24, 32 and 40cm (p<0.05). No significant differences of optimal distances were observed using 4 MTFs among +20, +10, 0, -10, -20 degrees(p>0.05). The optimal angle obtained from 4 radiologists by ROC analysis was +20 degrees (Az value : 0.91), and no significant differences of Az values were observed among +20, +10, 0, -10 and 20 degrees(p>0.05). The optimal angle obtained from 4 non-radiologists by ROC analysis was 0 degree(Az value : 0.81), and no significant differences of Az values were observed among +20, +10, 0, -10 and 20 degrees(p>0.05). And there was significant difference of Az value between 4 radiologists and 4 non-radiologists at +20 degree(p<0.05), but no significant differences of Az values were observed among +10, 0, -10 and -20 degrees(p>0.05).

9.Update on Endoscopic Management of Main Pancreatic Duct Stones in Chronic Calcific Pancreatitis.
Eun Kwang CHOI ; Glen A LEHMAN
The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine 2012;27(1):20-29
Pancreatic duct stones are a common complication during the natural course of chronic pancreatitis and often contribute to additional pain and pancreatitis. Abdominal pain, one of the major symptoms of chronic pancreatitis, is believed to be caused in part by obstruction of the pancreatic duct system (by stones or strictures) resulting in increasing intraductal pressure and parenchymal ischemia. Pancreatic stones can be managed by surgery, endoscopy, or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. In this review, updated management of pancreatic duct stones is discussed.

We report a case of epidermal nevus syndrome showing various skin manifestations improved with CO₂ laser and chemical peeling in a 11-year-old girl. Skin lesions were composed of linear verrucous plaques and numerous papillomatous papules on the face, neck, scalp and trunk, multiple congenital nevocellular nevi on the face, and extensive cafe au lait spots on the trunk. The associated findings of skeletal involvement were gingival hemihypertrophy and benign bone lesion of the 7th rib. CO₂ laser and chemical peeling MCA, 50% TCA) were applied to remove these skin lesions which improved considerably.
