가족과 친척, 친지들이 모여 오순도순 이야기꽃을 피우고 정을 나누는 시간. 누구나 바라는 설날 풍경이다. 그런데 현실은 이와 다르기 일쑤다. 설날이 다가올수록 아내의 짜증지수는 치솟고 남편은 그런 아내 눈치 살피기에 전전긍긍한다. 심지어 설날 때마다 두통이나 복통을 호소하는 이도 적지 않다. 명절 이후 이혼상담 비율이 높아지는 것은 또 어찌 설명할까. 이른바 명절증후군이다. 그런데, 이 같은 명절증후군을 극복하고 정답고 행복하게 설날을 보낼 방법은 없을까.

입에서 금속성 입맛을 동반하여 심한 위장관계 증상(예, 혈변, 복통, 오심, 구토)과 상부위장관출혈이 있으면 중금속 중독이 있음을 시사한다. 중금속은 유기형태와 무기형태 모두 유독함을 기역해야 한다. 혈액, 소변, 그리고 특히 모발내의 레벨이 급인성 중독을 정확하게 반영하지 않은 경우가 종종 있다. 중금속 중독이 된 많은 환자들이 킬레이션 치료(chelation therapy)에 효과가 있다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of hand acupuncture therapy on intermittent abdominal pain in children. Method: A quasi experimental pre-test and post (1,2)-test design was used. Data was collected from May, 2002 to February, 2003. Forty children were assigned to the experimental (20) or control group (20). The experimental group received Hand-Acupuncture therapy on the meridian point; A8, A9, A10, All, A12, E22, E45 for 20 minutes, while the control group rested on the bed. Data was analyzed using the SAS program with Fisher's Exact $x^2$ test, repeated measured ANOVA, and ANCOVA. Result: In the experimental group, pain intensity (f=63.26, p=0.00), A12(A)(F=60.40, p=0.00), and medication requirement ($x^2$=32.63, p=0.00) were significantly lower than that of the control group. Conclusion: These findings indicate that hand acupuncture therapy is effective for reduction of intermittent abdominal pain. Therefore, hand acupuncture therapy can be considered an independent nursing intervention for reducing intermittent abdominal pain.

Abdominal epilepsy is accepted as unusual cause of abdominal pain in children and young adolescents. Although its abdominal symptoms may be similar to those of the irritable bowel syndrome, it may be distinguished from the latter condition by the presence of the altered consciousness during some of attacks, EEG abnormalities, and a good response to anticonvulsant medication. The diagnosis of abdominal epilepsy came into vogue in the 1950s and 1960s as an explanation for childhood abdominal complaints. More recently, it has been recognized that isolated vomiting without loss of consciousness or other more common paroxysmal symtoms is rarely attributable to abdominal epilepsy. We report 4 cases of abdominal epilepsy, whose ages ranged from 8 to 11 years, with paroxysmal abdominal pain or vomiting consistent with a diagnosis of abdominal epilepsy.

Anisakiasis is a accidental parasitic infection caused by nematode larvae belonging to the subfamily Anisakinae when a raw or inadequately cooked fish is ingested. The common clinical symptoms are severe colicky abdominal pain or epigastric full sensation, nausea, vomiting and fever, but hematemesis or melena is very rare. We report a case of a 11-year-old female child who developed severe epigastric pain recurrently for 2 months, and recalled that she had eaten the raw flesh of an Astroconger myriaster. Endoscopic examination showed the whitish worm invading the stomach wall. Clinical symptoms disappeared after endoscopic removal. This study may be the first pediatric case of gastric anisakiasis in korea.

We report a boy with acute pancreatitis without abdominal pain accompanied by hepatic hematoma and massive ascites due to unperceived trauma. The case was difficult to diagnose with image study and the level of amylase. Strong suspicion of pancreatic injury based on mechanism of injury and clinical evaluation would be required to avoid a delay in diagnosis.

Recurrent abdominal pain(RAP) occurs in 8-10％ of elementary school children. It is suspected that functional causes are about 90％ and organic causes about 10％ for the recurrent abdominal pain. RAP is treated by antispasmodics or analgesics or antidiarrheal drugs in school health rooms. The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of Koryo-Hand-Acupuncture on recurrent abdominal pain of children. The duration of this study was from April to July, 2001. The subjects were the grade 4th-6th elementary students complaining recurrent abdominal pain. Total subjects were 46 cases; 23 cases of which were placed in experimental and the others in control group. The results of this study were as follows; 1. Numeric-pain-intensity of experimental group received Koryo-Hand-Acupuncture was decreased more than that of control group received mock Koryo-Hand-Acupuncture significantly. 2. Probed current in stomach corresponding point (A12) of experimental received Koryo-Hand-Acupuncture was decreased more than that of control group received mock Koryo-Hand-Acupuncture significantly. 3. Medication requirement rate of experimental group received Koryo-Hand-Acupuncture was decreased more than that of control group received mock Koryo-Hand-Acupuncture significantly. The following suggestions with the results of the study would be made like these; 1. Stimulation implement of Koryo-Hand- Acupuncture should be used independently and each effect should be investigated. 2. With repeated studies for various signs and diseases, the effect of Koryo-Hand- Acupuncture must be verified.

A 43-year-old Korean woman with billary ascariasis accompanied by cholellthiasis is reported. Her chief complaints were abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. She had the past history of several attacks of abdominal pain in her childhood. ciliary stones were recovered from the left hepatic duct after cholecystectomy, which contained degenerated cuticle or body wall, and numerous eggs of Ascaris lumbriooides. It is strongly suggested that the ciliary stones were formed from the dead Ascmis worm(s). This is a rare case of biliary ascariasis during the recent 5 years in Korea.
