Intussusception is rare in adult and usually caused by organic lesions, although there is a singnificant numbeof so-called idiopathic cases. The diagnosis of intussusception have been made by pali abdomen, barium enema andsmall bowel series. But recently ultrasound and CT make a contribution to diagnose intussusception. CT is not theprimary means for evaluation a gastrointestinal tract abnormality but also provides yaluable informations inevaluating disorders affecting the hollow viscera of the alimentary tract. CT image of intussusception demonstratea whirl like pattern of bowel loops separated by fatty stripe correlating to the intestinal walls. Abdominal ultrasonogram was used as the initial diagnostic test in 2 cases out of total 4 cases, with abdominal mass ofunknown cause. It revealed a typical pattern, composed of a round or oval mass with central dense echoes andperipheral poor echoes. We report 4 all cases of intussusception in adult who were performed by CT and/orultrasound. All cases were correlated with barium enema examination and/or surgical reports.

A total of 53 gastric adenomas from endoscopically biopsied gastric mucosa were examined histopathologically. The average age at the time of endoscopic biopsy was 59 years, and gastric adenomas were found to be more frequent in the aged, particularly above the age of 50. The majority of adenomas occurred at the antrum. Concerning the shape of the adenomas, Yamada type II was more frequent (55%). All adenomas were accompanied by varying degree of intestinal metaplasia, and this findings suggest that gastric adenoma develops from intestinal metaplasia. In adenomas with severe atypia (grade III), endocrine cells (argyrophil and argentaffin cells) were markedly decreased or absent. Gastric adenocarcinomas coexistent with adenoma were seen in 5 (9.4%) out of 53 cases, and were more frequent in male than female patients (sex ratio, 4:1) and the average age was 61.4 years. It is suggested that there is a necessity of thorough follow-up study for definitive correlation between gastric adenoma and adenocarcinoma.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the cardiovascular changes followed by laryngoscopy with the McCoy laryngoscope blade with those followed by laryngoscopy with the Macintosh laryngoscope blade. METHODS: Forty eight patients were randomly divided into two groups. Following induction with fentanyl 2 mcg/kg and thiopental 5 mg/kg, and muscle relaxation with vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg, the vocal cords were visualized with either the McCoy or the Macintosh laryngoscope blade, then tracheal intubation was performed. Heart rate and arterial blood pressure were measured just before and after laryngoscopy, and 1, 3 and 5 min later. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in both heart rate and arterial blood pressure after tracheal intubation using the Macintosh laryngoscope. Also, use of the McCoy blade resulted in a significant increase in both heart rate and arterial blood pressure. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference on arterial pressure and heart rate to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation with either the McCoy blade or the Macintosh.

Objective : The breast-feeding rate has decreased in Korea despite of the active encouraging effort of breast-feeding for the last 10 years. So we investigated the factors that are related to breast-feeding failure. METHOD: 1807 specific questionares of mothers who visited the six university hospitals in Seoul from October 1993 to December 1995 were analysed by ANOVA and multiple logistic regression using SAS program. RESULTS: 1) Exclusive breast-feeding rate for the first 6 months was 20.0%. The factors of breast feeding success were antenatal plan for breast-feeding, the first successful breast-feeding and breast-feeding in the hospital after delivery (P<0.01). 2) The duration of breast-feeding was 5.2+/-4.4 months. It was significantly longer in the first successful breast-feeding (P<0.01). The earlier the first breast-feeding, the longer the breast-feeding duration (P<0.01). 3) The breast feeding rate for the first feeding after delivery was significantly higher in normal delivery (46.5%) and the rooming-in (57.4%) than in Cesarean section (37.1%) and the nursery (39.1%) (P<0.01). 4) The first time of breast-feeding was 64.8+/-62.8 hours after delivery and was significantly earlier in the local clinic, normal delivery and rooming-in than in the hospital, Cesarian section and the nursery (P<0.01). The first breast-feeding was successful in 46.9% and was significantly higher in antenatal education (P<0.01). 5) The reasons for the breast-feeding failure within postnatal one month were the insufficient milk (37.1%), the physician' s recommendation (18.8%), the inverted nipple (12.1%), the baby's poor suckling power (10.5%) and thin breast-milk (7.0%). The reasons to switch the successful breast-feeding to formula-feeding before 6 months of age were the return to work (25.1%), the convenience of formula-feeding (17.4%), the excellency of formula (10.0%) and maternal conveniency (6.2%). 6) The reasons to consider the breast milk insufficient were too frequent feeding with crying (38.7%) and poor sleeping with irritability (19.0%). The reasons to consider the breast milk thin were the loose stool (51.1%) and watery nature of breast milk (48.9%). The effort to increase the breask milk was present in 68.2%. The most frequent effort was to increase the maternal intake (67.6%) instead of the frequent baby' s suckling (25.6%). 7) Persons who recommended to stop breast feeding were family members 62.7%, pediatricians 25.5%, obstetricians 10.7%, nurses 1.1%. The maternal diseases to stop breast feeding by physician such as mastitis (11.1%), hepatitis B (4.9%) and tuberculosis (2.5%) were relatively appropriate. But the baby' s diseases such as jaundice (29.9%), loose stool (22.2%) and vomiting (2.8%) were inappropriate. CONCLUSIONS: To increase the breast-feeding rate, we recommend the antenatal plan for breast-feeding, the early breast-feeding as soon as possible and the exclusive breast-feeding in the hospital after delivery. The mothers should make an effort to increase the breast milk by frequent suckling. The physicians should be better prepared to assist the breast-feeding mothers and monitor continuously to resume even after the temporary hold of breast-feeding.

PURPOSE: To determine the reference values of hematologic and biochemical parameters of nutrition around the weaning period. METHODS: From February 1996 to March 1997, several nutritional laboratory values were evaluated in 130 healthy babies and 120 inpatients in the recovery stage of acute illness at six general hospitals. RESULTS: Reference values in 9-month-old healthy babies(range : 6-12 months) were hemoglobin 11.8+/-0.9g/dL, hematocrit 30.9+/-0.7%, serum ferritin 25.7+/-15.4ng/mL, total protein(TP) 6.5+/-0.5g/ dL, albumin 4.6+/-0.5g/dL, prealbumin 15.6+/-3.9mg/L, cholesterol 154.7+/-22.4mg/dL, calcium 10.1+/-0.5mg/dL, phosphorus 6.1+/-0.9mg/dL, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) 235.1+/-66.4U/L. Reference values in 15-month-old healthy babies(range : 13-18 months) were hemoglobin 12.3+/-1.0g/dL, hematocrit 30.9+/-0.4%, serum ferritin 20.4+/-11.2ng/mL, TP 6.8+/-0.6g/dL, albumin 4.7+/-0.5g/dL, prealbumin 18.1+/-4.6mg/L, cholesterol 163.1+/-24.2mg/dL, calcium 9.3+/-1.0mg/dL, phosphorus 6.0+/-0.8mg/dL and ALP 254.5+/-64.0U/L. Most reference values were significantly lower in inpatients than the healthy babies, except for serum ferritin level which was the opposite. There were no significant differences in reference values according to feeding and weaning practices. Incidence of anemia(hemoglobin<10.5g/dL) and iron deficiency(serum ferritin<10ng/mL) were 5%(3/60), 11.7%(7/60) in 9-month-old healthy babies and 2.9%(2/70), 18.6%(18/70) in 15-month-old healthy babies, respectively. The incidence of hypercholesterolemia(serum cholesterol>200mg/dL) was 8.6% in 15-month-old healthy babies. CONCLUSION: This study presented the reference values of hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum ferritin, total protein, albumin, prealbumin, cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus and alkaline phosphatase around the weaining period. The current nutritional status of Korean babies around the weaning period was appropriate except for borderline iron deficiency.
