Gastric bezoars are large masses or concretions, composed with plant fiber, hair and miscellaneous foreign bodies, found in the stomach and occur usually as sequele of gastric surgery. We experienced 2 cases of fat bezoars which developed after drinking of melted beef fst. They had postprandial epigastric fullness and pain, those were relieved on supine and left recumbent position. Upper gastrointestinal series showed a large movable mass in the stomach in hoth cases. On gastrofibercopic examination, a large egg sized white bezoar was cordirmed in both cases and a gastrie ulcer at antrum associated in one case. In attempt to removal of the bezoars, we tried to break them, but failed because of its character. The patients were treated with pancreatic lipase containg digestives, Pancreon-F and Azintal. From one day after this treatment, symptoms were completely relieved. Five days later, we confirmed disappearance of bezoars by gastrofiberscopy. and upper gastrointestinal barium

Over 26 kinds of tablets and capsules, such as Tetracycline, Quinidine and Potassium preparations were reported to cause esopbageal ulcerations, eharacterized in various size, shape and number, ind sually in mid-esophagus, Recently authors experienced 10 cases of drug-induced esophageal ulcerations due to antibiotics and antiinflammatory agents such as Tetracycline, Aspirin, etc. Four cases were men and six were women. Four cases were in third dades, three in fourth cleeades, two in fifth decades and one in sixth decades. Presenting symptoras were odynophagia(4/10), dysphagia(3/10), substernal pain(7/10) and epigastric pain(3/10). Endoscopic examination of the esophgus showed single or multiple, small and shallow ulcers on the mid-esophgeal mucosa at the level of 30cm from the ineisor in eight cases, one Iarge and deep ulcer at the level of 40cm from incisor in one patient and one amall, shallow and one large, deep ulcers at the same time. in one patient The shape of alcers were various from a round to a large horseshoe shaped one. The clinical course was mild without complications. It was suggested that drug-induced esophsgeal ulcers with antibiotics and antiinflammatory agents could be found frequently and they had benign and mild clinicalc ourse,

Anisakiasis refers to the infestation of humans by species of marine nematode larvae belonging to the subfamily Anisakiae. An acute abdominal symptom may occur after ingestion of raw marine fish containing nematode larvae of the genus Anisakis. Migration of the parasite into the wall of gtomach, small intestine or, less commomly, the colon elicits a striking eosinophilic granulomatous tissue response. A 39 year old man was visited St. Vincent Hospital because of abdominal distension and tenderness. The plain abdominal X-ray showed ileus pattern suggesting intestinal obstruction. Hence we presented a case of intestinal Anisakiasis combined with intstinal obstruction.

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic gynecologic surgery is a standard procedure today for its small skin incision and short hospital admission stay. However pneumoperitoneum (PP) and Trendelenberg position induce adverse effects in hemodynamics and pulmonary gas exchange. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of propofol compared with enflurane for pulmonary gas exchange in the Trendelenberg position and pneumoperitoneum. METHODS: Twenty women were randomly allocated to either the enflurane (n = 10) or propofol (n = 10) with fentanyl-N2O/O2 anesthesia. PaCO2, PaO2, PETCO2 were checked at pre-PP, 10 min after PP, 30 min after PP, and 10 min after CO2 deflation. In addition the Vd/Vt ratio was calculated according to the Bohr equation. Vital sign and peak airway pressure were checked at each stage. RESULTS: PaCO2 and PETCO2 increased and PaO2 decreased significantly during PP in both groups. Vd/Vt increased significantly in the enflurane group at 30 min after PP. Peak airway pressure increased significantly in both groups. Blood preassure and heart rate were not changed significantly. All of the parameters were not significantly different between groups. CONCLSIONS: Propofol compared with enflurane did not show any advantage in gas exchange during gynecologic laparoscopic surgery under Trendelenberg position and PP.

Primary tumors of the heart are uncommon lesions that can mimic almost any type of cardiac disease. Over 90 per cent of myxoma which are the most common cardiac tumor occur in the atria, with 3 to 4 times as many occuring on the left as on the right. The development of nonivasive echocardiographic technique has made it possible to screen large numbers of patients with atrial myxoma with ease and safe. A 28 year old housewife was admitted because of dyspnea for 5 months. Clinical diagnosis of right atrial myxoma was made by echocardiography and right atrial angiocardiogram. Surgical resection was performed successfully. We presented a case of right atrial myxoma with a review of literatures.

OBJECTIVE: Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) may occur in the wake of infection with several viruses including Ebstein-barr virus (EBV). EBV remains an interesting target. To determine the possible role of EBV infections in the clinical course of JRA, we attempt to demonstrate the radiologic changes and the frequency prescription of etanercept rather than classic therapy. METHODS: Total of 87 patients with JRA, who were hospitalized in Hangang Sacred Hospital and Kangnam Sacred Hospital in Seoul from 2002 to 2010, were assessed serologically for EBV infection (anti EBV VCA IgM and IgG) at admission. Patients with JRA were devided 2 groups, one is EBV VCA IgG (+) JRA patients who had been infected before and another is EBV VCA IgG (-) JRA patients who had not. RESULTS: EBV VCA IgG (+) were seen in 55 patients (63.2%). 31 boys (76%) and 24 girls (52%) were infected with EBV. The mean age of patients of EBV (+) JRA was 8.2+/-3.6 years and that of EBV (-) JRA was 5.3+/-3.4 years. 7 of EBV (+) JRA (13%) developed radiologic change within 2 years, compare with none of EBV (-) JRA. 22 of EBV (+) JRA (49%) with JRA did not respond to the classic therapy, compare with 7 of EBV (-) JRA (22%). CONCLUSION: JRA patients with past EBV infection were older in ages, more in male, more radiologic changes, needed more biologic treatment than those without past EBV infection.

The use of autologous tissue transfer for breast augmentation is an alternative to using foreign implant materials. The benefits of this method are the removal of unwanted fat from other body parts, no risk of implant rupture, and the same feel as real breast tissue. However, sometimes there is a dilemma about whether or not to biopsy for calcifications or masses detected after the procedure is completed. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the procedures of breast augmentation with autologous tissues, the imaging features of various complications, and the role of imaging in the diagnosis and management of complications and hidden breast diseases.

Gastric cancer is the most common malignancy in Korea. Although five years survival rate of gestric cancer has been gradually improved due to advances in the diagnostic technique and therapeutic modalities, the advanced gastric cancer remains a disease with poor pragnosis. At the time of diagnosis, the disease, is usually advanced and longterm survivor is uncommon without a proper surgical treatment or chemotherapy. We experienced a case of advanced gastric cancer who lived for more than 6 years after making a diagnosis, without curative surgical therapy or chemotherapy. The patient at age of 76 year-old, was seen in St. Mary's hospital due to gastroinestinal bleeding in January of l985. A large ulcerating cancer in the diameter of 2.0 cm was found at the posterior wall of body with endoscopy and confirmed the diagnosis of stomach cancer by the endoscopic biopsy. He was recommended the surgical intervention of gastric cancer but he denied the operation due to his age, He had been treated symptomatically with H2 receptor antagonist and antacid with relief of symptoms. Thereafter he had been followed-up clinically at every 2-4 weeks, and the lesion was examined 3-4 times in a year endoscopically, In May l990, an endoscopic esophageal dilation was done due to esophageal stricture with tumor invasion at the lower esophageal sphincter. He was expired in July, 1991 in this hospital. Here we report a case of long term survived advanced gastric cancer who had been followed-up for 6 and half years clinically and endoscopically with review of literatures.

Double pylorus is a rare condition consisting of a double communication between gastric antrum and duodenal bulb; in most cases it is a complication of penetrating ulcer, and sometimes it is a congenital abnormality. The prevalence of this rare anomaly ranges from 0.02% to 0.13%; the male: female ratio is about 2: 1. A case of double pylorus, in 41 year-old male, was diagnosed by gastrofiberscopy and UGIS. Two ovoid and crescent pits of the pyloric canal divided by smooth thickened septum were observed endoscopically. The upper GI series showed gastroduodenal fistula connecting the leeser curve of distal antrum with the duodenal bulb. The relevant literatures on the subject were reviewed.
