This special May issue of Clinical Endoscopy discusses the tutorial contents dealing with either the diagnostic or therapeutic gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy that contain very fundamental and essential points in this filed. The seminar of Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE) had positioned as one of prime educational seminars covering the very beginner to advanced experts of GI endoscopy. Besides of four rooms allocated for each lecture, two additional rooms were open for either live demonstration or hands-on course, covering totally 20 sessions including one special lecture. Among these prestigious lectures, 12 lectures were selected for the current review articles in this special issue of Clinical Endoscopy journal. Basic course for beginner to advanced tips to expert were all covered in this seminar. This introductory review prepared by four associated editors of Clinical Endoscopy contained core contents divided into four sessions-upper gut, lower gut, pancreaticobiliary, and specialized topic session part-to enhance understandings not covered by enlisted review articles in this issue.

BACKGROUND: The importance of publication ethics has recently been emphasized.Therefore, inquiries regarding dual publications were analyzed to obtain basic data on whether domestic anesthetists recognized its importance and understood its practicalities. METHODS: The data for the questionnaire was collected from doctors who participated in a review workshop with full consent. A total of 15 questions were classified into 3 categories:a general interest regarding the ethics of publication, personal objective opinions and reactivity toward an illegal act in this regard. RESULTS: Thirty-eight participants responded spontaneously to the questionnaire.Thirty-six participants were aware of the principle of dual publications and 35 participants were aware of the contents in the home page.Twenty participants had contact with lectures or other media related to redundant publishing.Fourteen participants answered 'yes' regarding their colleague in an illegal action.However, 25 participants said that they were prepared to report an illegal act to the department or society.Only 5 participants tried to take into consideration ethical issues of dual publication while 15 participants were tempted regarding dual publication while writing a paper.Twenty-seven participants agreed with the principle of duplicate or illegal publication.Thirty participants were prepared to have a consistent attitude toward any individual that committed a violation against publication ethics.Nineteen participants worried about the possibility of exposure of an illegal publication. CONCLUSIONS: According to the development of a watch system, dual publication can easily be detected. Regular education regarding publication ethics and notification to members to prevent an illegal act is necessary.

PURPOSE: The evaluation of a lecture by students is one of the good way to improve a lecture. In one medical school, we started one-year-integrated-lecture curriculum for sophomore. And we evaluated lectures using formal lecture evaluation sheet after completion of each integrated lectures. The results were fed back to lecturers. But lecturers were indifferent to the results. So we performed this study to evaluate the current lecture evaluation method. METHODS: Answering patterns of evaluation sheets were reviewed. 50 students entitled to integrated lectures were given structured questions. 44 of them recovered. And randomly selected 10 students were interviewed. RESULTS: Analysis of evaluation sheets showed that some students checked the items just for fun. More than half of the students answered that they did not check the questions seriously. Reasons why the evaluation of lectures were not going well were; students were not trained to evaluate something; evaluation sheet was not designed to evaluate individual lecturer; listed items were too many in number and inappropriate; some students were suspicious about the impact of evaluation of lectures. In addition to this, it was revealed that students thought the timing of evaluation of lecture was important, too. CONCLUSION: Indifference of lecturers to the results is one form of resistance to the evaluation of lectures by students. To make evaluation of lectures effective, numbers and contents of evaluation items must be selected carefully, students need to be trained, and adequate evaluation timing should be determined with frequent feed backs.

Rapid advances in the technology of gastrointestinal endoscopy as well as the evolution of science have made it necessary for us to continue update in either various endoscopic techniques or state of art lectures relevant to endoscopy. International Digestive Endoscopy Network (IDEN) 2013 was held in conjunction with Korea-Japan Joint Symposium on Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KJSGE) during June 8 to 9, 2013 at Seoul, Korea. Two days of impressive scientific program dealt with a wide variety of basic concerns from upper gastrointestine (GI), lower GI, pancreaticobiliary endoscopy to advanced knowledge including endoscopic submucosal dissection forum. IDEN seems to be an excellent opportunity to exchange advanced information of the latest issues on endoscopy with experts from around the world. In this special issue of Clinical Endoscopy, we prepared state of art review articles from contributing authors and the current highlights will skillfully deal with very hot spots of each KJSGE, upper GI, lower GI, and pancreaticobiliary sessions by associated editors of Clinical Endoscopy.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the change in blink rate in adolescents according to the type and duration of computer tasks and to analyze the risk of ocular dryness using an ocular protection index. METHODS: Fifteen male high school students played computer games and viewed Internet lectures for 20 minutes each. Blink rate was measured by USB camera, and ocular protection index (OPI, the ratio of BUT to inter-blink interval) was calculated for each subject during the two tasks. In addition, 7 of the 15 subjects played computer games again for 40 minutes on another day, and the change in blink rate according to the duration of computer games was observed. RESULTS: The average blink rate was 5.44+/-3.29 per minute (median 5, range 2-12.75) while playing computer games and 20.63+/-11.21 per minute (median 18.25, range 4.93-42.2) while viewing Internet lectures, and this difference was statistically significant (p=0.001). The percentage of subjects with OPI values less than 1 was 53% for computer games and 13% for Internet lectures (p=0.025). While playing computer games for 40 minutes, the mean of total blinks during ten-minute intervals decreased over time: 59.43 times (median 57) during the first 10 minutes, 33.86 times (median 41) during the last 10 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: The blink rate in adolescents was significantly lower and the risk of ocular dryness was higher while playing computer games compared with that of viewing internet lectures. As playing time increased, the blink rate decreased and risk of ocular dryness increased.

This study was conducted to investigate the dietary habits and practices of mothers and their children from 3 to 6 years of age as well as the mother's attitudes about nutrition education. This study focused mainly on two areas: 1) the dietary habits and actual dietary practices of mothers and their children and 2) a mother's perception and need for nutrition education. The results of the regression analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the dietary habits of mothers and their children's (p<0.05). There was statistical significance in total food frequency intake and the food frequency intake between the mothers and children (r=0.829, p<0.01). The results of the regression analysis showed that the mother's dietary attitude (meal regularity, meal tempo) could positively influence their children's dietary attitude (p<0.01). The mothers showed a high interest in nutrition education; 81.6% of mothers tried to apply nutrition information to their actual dietary life, 77.6% of them recognized the need of nutrition education on preschoolers' dietary life and health, and 75.2% of them wanted to participate in nutrition education program(s) for their children. The percent of mothers that wanted to be offered lectures, food practices and hand-outs were 36.9%, 18.4%, 15.5%, respectively. The combined results of this study showed that mothers sincerely recognize the need for nutrition education and they have a high and deep interest in nutrition education.
