PURPOSE: Three-dimensional(3D) magnetic resonance(MR) projection imaging was evaluated as a noninvasive alternative to direct cholangiography for the assessment of its reliability in patients with obsructive jaundice. METHODS AND MATERIALS: A heavily T2-weighted gradient-echo sequence(PSIF) was used for 3D MR projecion imaging of the biliary system in five healthy volunteers and 25 patients with obstructive jaundice. The 3D images of the bile ducts were formed by stacking consecutive coronal MR images obtained with a fast imaging method to a maximum-intensity projection algorithm. RESULTS: In the volunteers, MR cholangiography could demonstrate the anatomy of the biliary tract in only two subjects. The extrahepatic and intraheparic bile ducts were well visualized in 23 patients with obstructive jaundice. The leve of obstruction and the grade of dilatation were dipicted with MR cholangiography in all cases. And the cause of obstruction could be determined with MR cholangiography in 18 cases, MR cholangiography was successful in two patients in whom ERCP failed. The gallbladder or dilated pancreatic duct not demonstrated by means of direct cholangiography was demonstrated with MR cholangiography in six cases.

3.Alterations of Food-specific Serum IgG4 Titers to Common Food Antigens in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility 2017;23(4):578-584
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The role of dietary factors in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is still unclear. The aim of this study was to compare IgG4 levels to common food antigens between patients with IBS and healthy controls. METHODS: Thirty-two patients diagnosed as IBS according to the Rome III criteria (12 diarrhea subgroup; 20 non-diarrhea subgroup) and 32 sex and age-matched healthy controls participated in the study. Serum IgG4 titers to 90 common foods were measured in each subject. The number of subjects with positivity defined as the cut-off value ≥ 0.7 U/mL was compared. RESULTS: Patients with IBS had significantly higher IgG4 titers to wheat, leek and taro compared to those of controls. Serum IgG4 titers to ginger, cocoa, walnut, white radish, onion, and lettuce in IBS patients tended to be higher than controls. IgG4 titers to wheat, gluten and gliadin in the diarrhea subgroup, and lettuce, leek and taro in the non-diarrhea subgroup tended to be higher compared with controls. The number of subjects with positivity to apple, orange, lettuce, and leek was significantly higher in IBS patients than controls. The number of subjects with positivity to apple, orange, gluten, and gliadin in the diarrhea subgroup, and egg white, pineapple, soybean, lettuce, and leek in the non-diarrhea subgroup was significantly higher compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS: Serum IgG4 antibody levels to some common foods are abnormally elevated in IBS patients. The type of foods with abnormally elevated serum IgG4 titers in the diarrhea subgroup may be different from that in the non-diarrhea subgroup.

PURPOSE: A pancreaticoduodenectomy is the procedure of choice for patients with resectable carci nomas of the pancreatic head, duodenum, or periampullary region. Although the morbity and the mortality are decreasing now, but there are still high. Leakage of the pancreatic duct remains the major source of death and complications after a pancreaticoduodenectomy. Thus, the authors used a stented pancrea ticojejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy after a pancreaticoduodenectomy to decrease leakage of the pancreatic duct. METHODS: The authors studied retrospectively 44 consecutive patients who had a pancrea ticoduodenectomy with a stented pancreaticojejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy at Kwangju Christian Hospital between 1993 and 1998. RESULTS: Leakage of the pancreaticojejunostomy was diagnosed in one of the 44 patients (2.5%). There were two deaths after the pancreaticoduodenectomy, one from compli cation of leakage of the pancreaticojejunostomy and the other from UGI bleeding. CONCLUSION: The stented pancreaticojejunostomy and jejunojejunostomy is an effective and safe method for use with a pancreaticoduodenectomy. However, the leakage that might occur despite the stented pancreaticojeju nostomy and jejunojejunostomy can be managed less invasively.

The ankle joint is a modified complex hinge joint which plays an important role in weight bearing, walking and standing. Hence, the ankle injuries include not only fractures of bone but often also the rupture of ligaments and soft tissues, so if the structures were not accurately repaired, many complications may be developed. The authors have reviewed a series of 70 cases of ankle fractures which were treated in department of orthopaedic surgery of Inha hospital from January 1988 to February 1992. Among the seventy cases, 41 patients (59.4%) were male, and 28 patients (40.6%) were female. Average age was 41.4 years and 3 cases (4.35%) were open fracture. The most common cause was slipping 34 cases (48.6%) and the other causes were traffic accident 23 cases (32.9%), fall from height 6 cases (8.6%), direct blow 5 cases (7.0%) and sports injury 2 cases (2.9%) in order. The rusults obtained form this study were as follows. l. According to the classification fo Lauge-Hansen, the most common fracture mechanism was supination-external rotation injury (24 cases: 34.4%). 2. Among them, 51 cases were treated by operative treatment and 19 cases by conservative treatment. 3. Ten cases (14.3%) in this series were complicated; traumatic arthritis in 7 cases, infection in 2 cases and nonunion 1 case. 4. Open reduction and internal fixation and early anatomical reduction were better than closed reduction and delayed reduction. 5. The incidence of traumatic arthritis occured higher in the cases treated with closed method.
