BACKGROUND/AIMS: Patient compliance and resistance to antibiotics are main factors determining the success of Helicobacter pylori eradication. This study provides basic data to verify the efficacy of currently implemented eradication therapy and reports changes in H. pylori resistance to all antibiotics used at Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea from 2004 to 2010. METHODS: We investigated the resistance rates to amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin in 88, 100, and 47 strains isolated from adult patients without H. pylori eradication history in 2004, 2007, and 2010. RESULTS: The resistance rate to amoxicillin increased from 5.0% in 2007 to 10.6% in 2010. The resistance rate to clarithromycin increased from 10.2% in 2004 and 11.0% in 2007 to 14.8% in 2010. However, no difference was observed in the resistance rate to metronidazole, and strains resistant to tetracycline were not detected at all in this study. The resistance rates to quinolone lingered at 15-17% for 3 years. The non-resistant strains to antibiotics accounted for 56% of the total in 2004 and 62% in 2007. In contrast, a decreasing tendency was found for those strains in 2010 (43%). No significant differences were shown in the multi-drug resistance rate or the co-resistance rates of amoxicillin and clarithromycin over the 3 years. CONCLUSIONS: We showed increased resistance rates to clarithromycin and amoxicillin over the last 7 years, aligning with the results of previous studies performed domestically. Efforts are needed to inhibit the increase in resistant bacteria to maintain the effectiveness of eradication therapy.

Malignant hyperthermia is a potentially fatal hypermetabolic syndrome characterised by hyperpyrexia and skeletal muscle rigidity. It can be induced by all of the currently used inhalation anesthetics or by injection of succinylcholine. A case of malignant hyperthermia was experienced which developed 80 minute after induction of general anesthesia with thiopental sodium, suecinylcholine, halothane, N2O and O2. One and half hours after induction, arrhythmia developed and was followed by unstable blood pressure, hyperpyrexia and muscle rigidity. Anesthesia was terminated and vigorous emergency treatment and dantrolene were administered. The patient recovered normal body temperature and consciousness, but expired about 4 days after induction because of late complication including disseminated intravascular coaggulation. The etiologic factor, clinieal feature, treatment and prevention of Malignant hyperthermia are discussed.

The study was conducted to compare the side effects in myelography of the two non-ionic water-soluble contrastmedias, Iopamidol(Niopam) and Metrizamide(Amipaque). A total of 111 patients were examined, 64 with Iopamidol and47 with Metizamide. Side effects consisted of headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, urinary difficulty, muscularpain, seizure, neurobehavioral distrubance, neurologial sign change, vital sign change and etc. The common sideeffects were headache, nausea, vomiting and dizziness in order of frequency. Most of the side effcts were subsidedwithin 24 hours following meylography. Iopamidol myelography caused fewer and milder side effects than Metrizamidestudy. The side effects were more commonly observed in cervial, thoracic or total myelography than in lumbarmyelography with either lopamidol or Metrizamide. There was no significant correlation between incidence of theside effects and premedication with phenobarbital or valium injection before myelography and CSF sampling duringthe procedure.

Seborrheic keratosis is a common benign epithelial tumor which occurs primarily on sun-exposed area, and is occasionally associated with several malignant or premalignant conditions. Among these malignant or premalignant conditions, Bowen disease and basal cell carcinoma are common, but still it is not clear whether these malignancies arise incidentally with seborrheic keratosis or malignant transformation has occurred. We herein report a case of Bowen disease with seborrheic keratosis on the inguinal area where prior seborrheic keratosis had recurred after incomplete removal.
