This study was to investigate dietary life and eating-out style related to breakfast frequency of male students in culinary college. This survey was conducted using questionnaires for 110 male students at college in Hongseung. Mean height and body weight of those we investigated was 174 cm and 70.5 kg. The one to two times per week breakfast eating group was 34.55%, which is exceedingly numerous; none per week breakfast eating group was 30%; three to four times per week breakfast eating group was 15.45%; everyday breakfast eating group was only 9.09%. The breakfast frequency was very low, and the not-eating breakfast problem is serious to think of in male college students. Mean weight, body fat and body mass index (BMI) of the everyday breakfast eating group was lower than the other group even it was not significant. The self-boarding house or dormitory living condition group was not eating breakfast was significant. So a correct dietary life and eating habit should be taught further for male college students. The smoking group was a significant low frequency of breakfast eating, as well as the lower frequency of breakfast, or worse recognition of self health condition. Higher frequency of breakfast showed more contentment of self body weight. Cooked rice was significantly the most preferable for breakfast. The lower breakfast frequency tended to eat breads or cereals. The lower frequency of breakfast, self recognition of eating rate as speedier was significant, and tended to have a higher frequency of eating-out because of being annoyed by cooking. The lower breakfast frequency ate out more. Twenty five percent of the everyday breakfast eating group ate out because of a special day, and thirty five percent of the not eating breakfast group did so because of being annoyed by cooking. Their mean dietary evaluation grade was under the normal grade, which means that culinary college male students?dietary lives were poor. The lower frequency of breakfast and lower grade of food life evaluation, indicates the importance of nutritional breakfasts education should be improved for male culinary college students also.

This study was to investigate the effects of the body fat % on life styles and self-recognition of health conditions in hotel culinary college students. This survey was conducted using the questionnaires for 144 students (110 males, 34 female) in Hongseung-located college. More exercise time and less frequency of alcoholic beverage they intake, lowered their body fat %. Males did stronger exercise and had lower body fat % than females. The stronger exercise they did, the lower body fat % they had, and were more satisfied with their present weight. Since they had more alcoholic beverage, they smoked more. Less smoking, more abdominal obesity they were. The less satisfaction with their body weights, the higher body fat % they had. The obese less were content with their weights. More recognition of obese shape, higher body fat % they had and abdominal obesity they were. Female had higher body fat % and were more abdominal obesity, did weak action, less smoke and weak exercise than male. Higher body fat % they had, more abdominal obesity they were. The more part time jobs they had, they did not smoke or were not satisfied with their body weights. Female students in culinary arts division had higher body fat % and were dissatisfied with their body weights and did less exercise or subnormal exercises.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall and variable gastrointestinal manifestations. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for EG when faced with gastrointestinal symptoms and peripheral eosinophilia to avoid incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate treatments. A 24-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of acute right lower quadrant abdominal pain and a laparoscopic appendectomy performed for a presumed diagnosis of an acute appendicitis. However, the procedure revealed bowel edema and a moderate amount of ascites without evidence of a suppurative appendicitis. Postoperatively, she showed persistent and progressive eosinophilia, exudative eosinophilic ascites, eosinophilic infiltration of the resected appendix wall, and eosinophilic infiltration of gastroduodenal mucosa. A punch biopsy of the abdominal skin also revealed inflammation with marked eosinophilic infiltration of the skin. She recovered after the treatment with a low dose of steroid for the EG with eosinophilic dermatitis. EG with eosinophilic dermatitis has not been reported yet and is considered fortuitous in this case.

Chronic hepatitis is one of the leading cause of hospitalization and death in kidney transplanted patient. Korea is one of the endemic area of chronic hepatitis B. The impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on the clinical course of renal transplant recipient has been controversial. We describe five Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive renal transplant recipients who transplanted at the KyungHee University Medical Center during the period of January 1992 to July 2000. All these patients have no clinical sign or symptom of chronic hepatitis at the time of transplantation. Mean follow up period was 70 month (range 7-57). Three of 5 patients developed liver cirrhosis with complications during follow-up period. One patient died of fulminant hepatitis due to reactivation of HBV. The remaining one patient is free of disease till now. Four of 5 patients maintained the function of transplanted kidney and only one patient restarted hemodialysis.

BACKGROUND: The peritoneal catheter of the continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD) is patients' lifeline. A significant number of complications and catheter failures in CAPD are due to mechanical problems. We describe our retrospective experience with CAPD focusing on the rate of catheter displacement and survival according to the site of catheter tip placement in 70 cases of CAPD in Kyunghee University Hospital between November 1994 and February 2000. METHODS: We describe our retrospective experience with CAPD focusing on the rate of catheter displacement and survival according to the site of catheter tip placement in 70 cases of CAPD in Kyunghee University Hospital between November 1994 and February 2000. RESULTS: Among 70 cases of CAPD, 46 cases were right pelvic cavity tip placement and 24 cases were left. Causes of chronic renal failure(CRF) were diabetes mellitus in 29 cases(63%), hypertension in 13 cases (28%), glomerulonephritis in 4 cases(9%) in right pelvic cavity catheter tip placement and diabetes mellitus in 13(54%), hypertension in 10(42%), renal tuberculosis in 1 case(4%) left pelvic cavity catheter tip. There were no difference in causative diseases of CRF between both groups. Incidence of CAPD catheter tip displacement were 17.4%(8/46) at right and 4.2%(1/24) at left catheter(p=0.01). Methods for treatment of displacement were fluoroscopic brushing, laparoscopic manipulation and operation. Of the 9 cases, 5 case were received fluoroscopic brushing, 3 case were laparoscopic manipulation and 1 case was received operation. Other complication were peritonitis, catheter obstruction, hernia, death. Overall survival of catheter were 65%(30/46) at right and 71 %(17/24) at left catheter(p=NS). CONCLUSION: The incidence of CAPD catheter tip displacement was higher with catheter tip at the right pelvis than left(p=0.01). But there is no difference in the catheter survival.

Colonic phytobezoars are defined as conglomerate masses of fruit or vegetable matter in the colon, and these have rarely reported as a cause of colon obstruction. Because it is extremely rare, its correct diagnosis might be delayed even with the aid of abdominal computed tomography. We report here on a case of diagnosed colonic obstruction due to colonic phytobezoars in a 67-year-old female with diabetic end stage renal disease and chronic constipation. Although abdomino-pelvic computed tomography did not demonstrate the presence of phytobezoars, multiple phytobezoars impacted in the colon were found and these were removed by colonoscopy. This is a rare case in that colonic obstruction due to phytobezoar was diagnosed early and it was treated by colonoscopy.
