BACKGROUND/AIMS: The common complaints of the acute hepatitis patients studied involved upper gastrointestinal symptoms resembling those of dysmotility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in the electrogastrographic findings and gastric fullness before and after feeding rice soup to patients with acute hepatitis. METHODS: The study was performed on 30 patients with acute hepatitis and 41 in a normal control group. Abdominal surface electrogastrography was applied for 30 minutes under a fasting state and 30 minutes after feeding. RESULTS: Patients with acute hepatitis showed a higher level of gastric fullness in both the fasting and postprandial state in comparison to the control group. Significant differences were found in a percentage of postprandial 3 cpm and fasting, and fed tachygastria between the two groups. The percentage of 3 cpm slow wave (unclear) increased by the same amount as the control group after eating. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the power ratio. CONCLUSION: Upper gastrointestinal symptoms of acute hepatitis did not appear to be related to the change in gastric myoeletrical activity. Other factors including neurological, endocrinological, and emotional should be evaluated.

It is very important to select the appropriate operative method in cancer surgery. For proximal gastric cancer, a total gastrectomy (TG) has usually had less morbidity and mortality than an extended total gastrectomy (ETG). To compare and evaluate the results of a TG with those of an ETG, the authors analyzed 50 cases treated by a TG and 50 cases treated by an ETG during the last 12 years. The results were as follows: The post operative complication rates were 34% for a TG and 54% for an ETG, the average operation time was 3 hours 53 minutes for a TG and 3 hours 42 minutes for an ETG, the postoperative fasting period was 7.1 days for a TG and 6.5 days for an ETG, and the mean length of hospital stay was 21.4 days for a TG and 22.6 days for an ETG. the ETG had a higher complication rate than the TG, but there was no statistical difference between the operation times, the postoperative fasting periods, and the length of stay in the hospital. from our experience, it is suggested that the ETG is easier, or almost the same, to carry out than the TG procedure. Therefore, we recommend an ETG for proximal gastric cancer to achieve better curative results.

Background: Hypertensive with impaired fasting glucose is the basic expression of metabolic syndrome. Objectives: To study the IR and the correlation between Fasting Plasma Insulin (FPI) and Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG) concentration in hypertensive patients with Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG). Subjects and method: The descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out on 38 hypertensive patients with IFG (IFG group) and 30 hypertensive patients without IFG (control group). The data were collected and analyzed by SPSS 11.5 software. Results:The FPI and IR index in the IFG group were 14.6+/-5.2 micro mol/ml and 3. 94+/- l.40, respectively, higher than in the control group (9.6+/-4.2 micro mol/ml and 2.17+/-0.99/ respectively) with p<0.00l. There was a positive correlation between FPI and FPG systolic blood and diastolic blood pressure/ with correlation coefficients were 0.4/ 0.48 and 0.46/ respectively (p<0.00l). Conclusion: There was an increase of FPI and IR index in the hypertensive patients with IFG compared to those without IFG. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'
