BACKGROUND/AIMS: The common complaints of the acute hepatitis patients studied involved upper gastrointestinal symptoms resembling those of dysmotility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in the electrogastrographic findings and gastric fullness before and after feeding rice soup to patients with acute hepatitis. METHODS: The study was performed on 30 patients with acute hepatitis and 41 in a normal control group. Abdominal surface electrogastrography was applied for 30 minutes under a fasting state and 30 minutes after feeding. RESULTS: Patients with acute hepatitis showed a higher level of gastric fullness in both the fasting and postprandial state in comparison to the control group. Significant differences were found in a percentage of postprandial 3 cpm and fasting, and fed tachygastria between the two groups. The percentage of 3 cpm slow wave (unclear) increased by the same amount as the control group after eating. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the power ratio. CONCLUSION: Upper gastrointestinal symptoms of acute hepatitis did not appear to be related to the change in gastric myoeletrical activity. Other factors including neurological, endocrinological, and emotional should be evaluated.

Overnight fasting before elective surgery has been the routine to reduce the risk of pulmonary aspiration. Recently, several international guidelines for preoperative fasting recommend to intake carbohydrate-containing fluids up to 2 to 3 hours before the induction of anesthesia to improve postoperative recovery. Based on the recommendations, we developed a "preoperative carbohydrate diet" provided for the preoperative patients. The purpose of this case report is to share our experience of applying preoperative carbohydrate loading prior to surgery.

PURPOSE: Pneumatic reduction has rapidly replaced traditional barium reduction owing to its potential advantages, such as higher reduction rate and greater safety; however, the effects on surgery after reduction failure have not been studied. In this study, we evaluated the influences of attempted barium and pneumatic reductions on subsequent surgical procedures. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-one barium reductions were performed on 158 patients while 153 pneumatic reductions were performed on 145 patients. Statistical comparisons of these two reduction methods were made regarding the following variables: the reduction rates, frequencies of bowel perforations and recurrences, mean operation times, fasting periods, and durations of admission. RESULTS: The reduction rates were similar for both groups with barium reduction being successful in 67.1% of the cases (108/161) and pneumatic reduction in 69.3% (106/153). Two cases of bowel perforation occurred during the pneumatic reductions, none were noted during the barium reductions. Recurrence of intussusception was noted in three cases initially reduced with barium and in nine cases reduced pneumatically. The mean operation time (130.7 minutes vs. 81.7 minutes), postoperative fasting time (61.6 hours vs. 37.6 hours), and duration of admission (6.7 days vs. 5.4 days) were significantly prolonged in the pneumatic reduction group. CONCLUSION: A part from a comparable reduction rate pneumatic reduction demonstrated no favorable outcome relative to barium reduction. Furthermore, it resulted in some obstacles to surgery and recovery, such as prolonged operation time, fasting period, and duration of admission.
