Coronary spasm may be induced by a variety of physiologic and pharmacologic stimuli but specific receptor blockade has not been consistently shown to prevent the attacks. Most patients with variant angina respond well to treatment with calcium antagonists and nitrates. A small proportion of patients are refractory to this therapy. We report a case of the patient with a 9-year-history of variant angina who has been refractory to high doses of calcium antagonists and nitrates. The repeated addition of clonidine was consistently effective in abolishing both symptoms and objective evidence of myocardial ischemia in this particular patient.

BACKGROUND: Physical activity and calcium nutriture with reproductive endocrine status are primary controller of bone remodelling activity. There are differences in impact of exercise on early menopausal bone ; late menopausal bone. There are possibility of different effect of calcium intake on bone mass among different life stage. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether the relation between lifestyle and bone mineral density varied with life stages. METHODS: We examined bone mineral density and took questionnaires related to lifestyle of 1,698 women aged 49~54 years old who lived in ulsan from July 1999 to Dec. 1999. We selected 731 healthy subjects without medical conditions or lifestyle factors known to affect bone metabolism. RESULTS: In 6~10 years postmenopausal women, those with calcium intake of more than 600 or 800mg /day showed significantly greater BMD. In postmenopausal women , those daily consumption of milk showed greater BMD. But it is not significantly. In premenopausal women with regular menstruation, those who took regular exercise showed significantly greater BMD than those who did not. Working hours is not related with BMD. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that the relation between calcium intake or physical activity and BMD differed with life stages. It was suggested that life stages should be taken into consideration to perform lifestyle modifications for the prevention and management of osteoporosis.

Pheochromocytomas can arise wherever chromaffin cells are found, and most of them(90%) are in one or both adrenal glands. But they may be located anywhere along the sympathetic chain and rarely in aberrant sites. One of the common extra-adrenal sites from which these tumors can arise is a collection of para-aortic and para-ganglion cells around the origin of the inferior mesenteric artery. We experienced a case of extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma located at the organ of Zukerkandl in a 21-year-old female patient with abdominal colic and paroxysmal hypertension, whose symptoms and blood pressure returned to normal after successful surgical excision of the tumor.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Colonoscopy is the golden standard used as a surveillance test and screen for colon cancer, and the current demand for colonoscopy exceeds its availability. This study is an assessment of the colonoscopic surveillance intervals currently practiced. METHODS: A multiple choice survey of the colonoscopic surveillance interval used in six case scenarios [hyperplastic polyp; two 0.5 cm tubular adenomas (TAs); a 1.5 cm TA; 0.8 cm triple TAs; a 1.5 cm TA with high grade dysplasia; current normal exam after polypectomy of a <1 cm sized TA 3 years ago] was sent via e-mail to members of the KASID. RESULTS: A total of 131 colonoscopists (104 men, 27 women) replied, and the mean age of the respondents was 36 years (range 28~58). All respondents were board- certified in their respective specialties (internal medicine 75, general surgery 3, and GI subspecialty 53). When compared with the AGA guidelines, 90.1~99.2% of the respondents performed the first post-polypectomy surveillance colonoscopy prematurely, and 75.6% of respondents performed the second surveillance prematurely. CONCLUSIONS: Most post-polypectomy surveillance colonoscopies were performed prematurely. It is quite possible that unnecessary surveillance may account for a significant portion of the demand for colonoscopy.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Bamboo joint-like (BJL) appearance is an endoscopic finding characterized by swollen longitudinal folds transversed by erosive fissures or linear furrows on the lesser curvature side of gastric body and cardia. It has been reported to be associated with Crohn's disease (CD). This study was aimed to evaluate the incidence of BJL appearance in Korean patients with CD. METHODS: From January to December in 2005, we performed esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in patients diagnosed as CD and ulcerative colitis (UC) in our hospital. Non-inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) subjects with upper gastrointestinal symptoms who underwent EGD were consecutively enrolled during the same period. One endoscopist performed all the endoscopic examinations to avoid inter-observer variation. A dye-spraying technique with 0.4% indigocarmine was used to allow the detection of subtle changes during the endoscopic examination. RESULTS: A total of 21 patients with CD (mean age+/-SD, 40+/-15 yr; M/F, 13/8), 28 patients with UC (42+/-15 yr; 21/7), and 685 non-IBD subjects (49+/-14 yr; 354/331) were enrolled. EGD findings in CD patients were gastric erosions (11/21), chronic superficial gastritis (5/21), chronic atrophic gastritis (1/21), duodenal erosions or ulcers (2/21), and normal (2/21). Incidence of BJL appearance was significantly higher in patients with CD (47.6%, 10/21) than others (UC, 3.6%, 1/28; non-IBD, 0.1%, 1/685) (p<0.0001). Among patients with CD, incidence of BJL appearance was not significantly different according to the sex, status of H. pylori infection, Vienna classification for phenotype, medications or EGD findings. CONCLUSIONS: BJL appearance on the gastric body and cardia can be a diagnostic clue to CD.
