Purpose: This study was performed to assess the clinical usefulness of transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) in detecting peptic ulcer disease (PUD) in children. Methods: Twenty-four patients (19 boys, 5 girls; mean age, $10.6{\pm}4.5years$ [range, 3.0-17.9 years]) who were admitted to the hospital for acute abdomen or gastrointestinal bleeding and diagnosed with PUD by endoscopy and who underwent TUS were included. Clinical data were retrospectively collected by reviewing patient medical records. Gastric ulcer (GU) was suspected when the gastric wall exceeded 8 mm in thickness and had lost its five-layer structure on TUS. Duodenal ulcer (DU) was suspected if the duodenal wall thickness exceeded 5 mm. Results: Sensitivity of TUS in diagnosing PUD was 66.7% for GU and 38.9% for DU. Mean age and body weight of the 11 patients suspected with PUD on TUS were $10.9{\pm}4.4years$ and $38.1{\pm}17.2kg$, respectively. For 13 patients without suspected PUD, they were $12.1{\pm}4.1years$ and $39.6{\pm}17.0kg$, respectively. There was a significant difference in height, weight, and body mass index between patients who were suspected to have PUD and those who were not suspected on TUS (p=0.014, 0.008, and 0.005, respectively). A significant difference in the sensitivity of TUS in diagnosing PUD was found between patients under 30 kg and those over 30 kg (88.9% and 20.0%, respectively; p=0.003). Conclusion: TUS investigation of the stomach and duodenum is an efficient method for PUD detection in children with low body weight. TUS can be used in preliminary diagnostic work-up before further invasive tests.

Purpose: The clinical implications of bowel wall thickening (BWT) on abdominal computed tomography (CT) among children are unknown. We aimed to suggest a new method for measuring BWT and determining its clinical significance in children. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 423 patients with acute abdomen who underwent abdominal CT; 262 were classified into the BWT group. For this group, the pediatric radiologist described the maximal bowel wall thickness (MT), normal bowel wall thickness (mm) (NT), and their ratios for each segment of the bowel wall. Results: In the thickened bowel walls, the thickness differed significantly between the small bowel (6.83±2.14 mm; mean±standard deviation) and the colon (8.56±3.46 mm; p<0.001). The ratios of MT to NT in the small bowel (6.09±3.17) and the colon (7.58±3.70) were also significantly different (p<0.001). In the BWT group, 35 of 53 patients had positive fecal polymerase chain reaction results; 6 patients infected with viruses predominantly had BWT in the small intestine, while the terminal ileum and the colon were predominantly affected in 29 patients with bacterial infections. In the initially undiagnosed 158 patients with BWT, the symptoms improved spontaneously without progression to chronic gastrointestinal disease. Conclusion: This study provides a clinical reference value for BWT in the small intestine and colon using a new method in children. The BWT on abdominal CT in children might indicate nonspecific findings that can be observed and followed up without additional evaluation, unlike in adults.

A 3-year-old, 43kg, pregnant Great Pyrenese was examined for clinical signs of acute weakness and anorexia for 4 days. The dog was in lateral recumbency at referral. The rectal temperature was within reference range, and the respiratory and heart rates were 36 breaths/min and 58 beats/min, respectively. The abdomen was distended, and several puppies were palpated. The mean fetal head diameter was 2.8cm in the ultrasonographic examination. The initial complete blood count and serum biochemical examinations revealed mild dehydration, mud hyperglycemia, hypochloremia, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia, and low sodium-potassium ratio. Serum BUN and total cholesterol values were slightly high. Hypoadrenocortical crisis was suspected on the basis of signs of acute collapse, hyponatremia and hyperkalemia. Adrenal gland function was evaluated by an ACTH stimulation test. The baseline cortisol concentration was $18.6{\mu}g/dl$ and the concentration at 1 hour after administration of tetracosactrin (ACTH, Synacthen) was $8{\mu}g/dl$. The dog was treated for the correction of assumed hypoadrenocortical crisis and substantial hyperkalemia. In addition to rapid infusion with saline solution, other medications administered intravenously included sodium bicarbonate and cimetidine hydrochloride. The dog was monitored with repeated serum electrolyte examination. After clinical stabilization, cesarean section was performed. All of 13 puppies were delivered, and the dog recovered from anesthesia without complications. The values of postpartum blood tests returned to normal or within reference range. The dog remained healthily.

After studing of viewpoint of surgical disease in seven medical books related with Ju Dan Gye(朱丹溪) among four eminent physicians in the Jin and Yuan dynasties(金元四大家) I get conclsion as following. 1. Studied surgical diseases are total 40 kinds. 2. In 40 kinds surgical diseaes, case of having theory are 20 kinds, cases of having no theory and having only treatement by medicine are 20 kinds. 3. In therapy, cases that mainly use a method to eliminate pathogenic factors are 27 kinds; Acute mastitis(乳癰), Deep-seated mammary abscess(내巖), Acute appendicitis(陽癰), Bone cellulitis(附骨疽), Carbuncle of the lower abdomen near external genitalia(便毒), Leprosy(癩風), Macule(斑), Rash(疹), Urticaria(은疹), Scrofula(나역), Stagnant plegm(結核), Goiter andtumer(영유), Erysipelas(丹), Furuncle(정瘡), Scabies(疥瘡), Chancre(下疳瘡), Syphilitic skin disease(樣梅瘡), Incised wound (金瘡), Dermatopathy of lower limb and heel(脚足部瘡), Pemphigus(天疱瘡), Itching eruption due to blood-heat or wind heat(血風瘡), Dermatopathy of head(頭面瘡), Scald and burn(湯火瘡), Tetanus(破傷風) , Ecthyma(염瘡), Fistula(久漏瘡), Tinea(癬瘡), Cases that mainly use external therapy are 5 kinds; Rhagades of hand and foot(手足군裂), Vulvar ulceration(婦人陰瘡), Chilblain(凍瘡), Rabies(풍狗咬), Tinea capitis(白禿瘡), Cases that mainly use a reinforcing method are 4 kinds; Internal deep-rooted carbuncle(內疽), Pruritus and dryness of skin(皮膚乾燥), Anul fistula(漏瘡), Macule Caused by disorder of internal organ(內傷發斑), Cases that mainly use eliminating first and then reinforcing are 2 kinds; Pyogenic infection and ulcerous disease of slin( 疽瘡상癰疽瘡瘍), Lung abscess(肺癰), Case that mainly uses reinforcement and elimination in combination is only Haemorroid(痔瘡). Case divided into two groups that are reinforcing method and a method to eliminate pathogenic factor is only Trauma(打撲). Case that have no treatment by medicine is only Abscess of the scrotum(囊癰). 4. In 40 kinds surgical diseases, we can know that except a few important surgical diseases, Ju Dan Gye haven't distinguished viewpoint in many surgical diseases, because there are many cases that have no theory and have only simple treatment of medicine, and that mainly use a method to eliminate pathogenic factors and external therapy. 5. Representative theory of Ju Dan Gye, nourishing Yin and extinguishing fire(滋陰降火), has little effect on therapy of surgical disease. We need to try statistical division of internal and external remedy in the future, and by studing of surgical disase in medical books related with four eminent physicians in the Jin and Yuan dynasties, I think we can see their viewpoint of surgical disease.

목 적 : 위장관 증상이 피부 발진에 선행했던 HSP 환아들을 대상으로 임상 경과와 내시경 및 복부 초음파 검사 소견의 특징을 고찰하여 본증의 조기진단에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1991년부터 2002년까지 12년간 서울대학교 부속 병원 소아과에서 내시경 검사를 시행받은 HSP 환아들 중 위장관 증상이 피부 발진보다 선행했던 23례를 대상으로 의무 기록과 복부 초음파 및 내시경 자료를 고찰하였다. 결 과 : 1) 복부 증상의 선행 기간은 1일에서 30일(중앙값 5일) 사이였고 1례를 제외하면 모두 2주 이내였다. 관절염은 16례(70%) 중 2례에서 피부 병변에 선행되었으며, 신장염은 11례(47%) 모두 피부 발진 이후에 보였다. 2) 선행했던 복부 증상은 복통(23례), 구토(16례), 혈변(8례), 토혈(3례)의 순이었고, 장중첩증이 합병된 경우는 없었다. 3) 상부 위장관 내시경 검사는 23례 중 21례(91%)에서 점막의 출혈반 혹은 미란을 동반한 염증이 관찰되었으며, 부위별로는 십이지장염(21례), 위염(12례), 식도염(1례)의 순이었다. 십이지장염은 3례에서는 하행이 구부보다 현저하게 심한 형태였고 2례에서는 하행에서만 병변이 관찰되었다. 하부 위장관 내시경 검사는 8례 중 6례에서 병변이 보였고 직장염이 5례, S자 결장염이 4례에서 관찰되었다. 조직 검사는 5례에서 시행되었으나 혈관염은 관찰되지 않았다. 4) 17례에서 시행된 복부 초음파 검사상 12례(71%)에서 이상 소견을 보였고 소장벽이 두꺼워진 소견이 8례에서, 소장벽 출혈이 3례에서 관찰되었다. 5) 스테로이드가 투여되었던 22례 중 16례(72%)에서 첫 48시간 이내에 복통이 감소되는 반응이 있었다. 6) 3개월 이상 증상이 소실된 후 다시 재발한 경우가 4례(17%)에서 있었으며 이중 3례에서 신장염이 1년 이상 지속되었다. 결 론: 급성 복통으로 내원한 HSP 환아들의 대부분은 2주 이내에 피부 병변이 나타나며 전체적인 임상 경과는 피부 증상이 선행한 전형적인 경우와 유사하다. 내시경 검사에서 관찰되는 출혈과 미란을 동반한 하행 십이지장염과 장벽이 두꺼워진 초음파 소견은 피부 발진이 없는 시점에서 HSP를 진단하는데 큰 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to analyze some of the TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) clinical research literatures about pediatric night crying in order to learn clinical application of Korean medicine treatment for pediatric night crying. Methods We searched clinical trial literatures about TCM treatment of pediatric night crying from the CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) (January 2000 to June 2018). We analyzed the literature in regards to the treatment methods and the results. Results Among the 459 searched studies, 13 randomized controlled trials and 41 case studies were selected and analyzed. In most of the studies, the effectiveness of TCM in treating patients was significantly high, so we confirmed the effectiveness of TCM on pediatric night crying. The most commonly used pattern differentiations (辨證) were Spirit damage due to fright and fear (驚恐傷神), Spleen deficiency and cold (脾虛寒) and Heart fire heat (心火熱). Methods of treatment include herbal medicines (internal medicine and external application), massage therapy (Tuina methods), acupuncture and other treatments (bloodletting). The most commonly used herb medicines were Cicadidae Periostracum (蟬?), Poria Cocos (茯?), Glycyrrhizae Radix (甘草), Uncariae Ramulus et Uncus (釣鉤藤), Junci Medulla (燈心草), Fossilia Ossis Mastodi (龍骨), Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba (白朮), Cinnabaris (朱砂), and Coptidis Rhizoma (黃連). The most commonly used massage methods were Clearing Liver Channel (淸肝經), Clearing Heart Channel (淸心經), Kneading $Xi{\check{a}}oti{\bar{a}}nx{\bar{i}}n$ (?小天心), Supplementing Spleen Channel (補脾經), Clearing $Ti{\bar{a}}nh{\acute{e}}shu{\check{i}}$ (淸天河水), and Rubbing Abdomen (摩腹). Conclusions Based on the results of clinical studies from China, the use of Korean medicine for the treatment of pediatric night crying has been shown to be effective in relieving symptoms. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to widen the scope of Korean medicine by additionally reviewing clinical and experimental studies on pediatric night crying.

복막투석은 혈액에서부터 오는 체액과 노폐물을 교환하는 복강내의 막인 복막을 이용한 투석방법으로, 신부전과 중독증 환자에서의 치료법이다. 본 연구에서는 신부전증 개에서 자동투석기를 이용한 복막투석의 치료효율과 합병증에 대해 평가하였다. 10마리의 개를 대상으로 Swan neck 카테터(Neonatal, Coviden)와 자동 복막투석기를 사용하여 복막투석을 실시하였고, 그 효과는 요소감소율(urea reduction ratio)로 평가하였다. 평균 크레아틴닌 감소율과 평균 요소감소율은 $7.09{\pm}3.84$과 $145.8{\pm}48.5$였다. 평균 투석횟수는 $6{\pm}1$회 였다. 투석치료후 유의성 있는 요소의 감소가 7/10 개에서 관찰되었고, 유의성 있는 크레아틴의 감소가 9/10 개에서 관찰되었다. 요소의 감소율이 크레아틴 감소율보다 더 높게 관찰되었다. 1회 투석당 요소와 크레아틴닌의 감소율은 $0.064{\pm}0.023$과 $0.065{\pm}0.023$이 였다. 본 연구에서의 복막투석에 따른 합병증은 카테터 막힘, 투석액의 피하누출, 패혈성 복막염, 저알부민혈증, 과수화 등이었다. Swan neck 카테터와 자동 복막투석기를 이용한 복막투석은 임상에서 적용 가능하였으며 본 연구를 통하여 성공적인 복막투석의 가능성을 보여주었다. 하지만 합병증을 최소화하기 위해서는 주의 깊은 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
