Reduction of intussusception using air or oxygen has wide acceptance as an alternative to conventional hydrostatic reduction. This study was undertaken to evaluate the results and complications of air pressure enema in 948 pediatric intussusception. One hundred and twenty nine cases were operated on at the Department of Surgery, Masan Samsung Hospital from 1985 to 1996 because of air reduction failure. The success rate was 86.4 %. Twenty-one patients(2.2 %) showed perforation during air reduction. Risk prone factors of perforation were; age less than 3 months(42.9 % vs 11.1 %), duration of symptoms greater than 48 hours (66.7 % vs 33.3 %), and presence of pathologic leading point(28.6 % vs 3.7 %). Vomitting and spontaneous rectal bleeding revealed higher prediction to the complication. In nineteen cases, bowel infarction, coagulated necrosis and hemorrhage suggested that the cause of perforation was due to the preexisting strangulation. In conclusion, when doing an air pressure enema reduction, care must be taken if the patient is of a young age or the symptoms are of long duration.

과산화수소$(H_2O_2)$가 급성 일산화탄소(CO)중독의 회복에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 가토를 1% Corktm에 30분간 노출시킨후 자연회복군, 100%산소 흡입군 및 $H_2O_2$관장군(10ml/kg의 0.5% $H_2O_2$용액을 2ml내외의 사람혈액과 함께 관장)으로 나누어, 회복기 15,30,60 및 90분에 동맥혈의 $pH,\;PCO_2,\;CO_2$ 및 HbCO 포화도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. pH는 급성 CO중독시 3개군 모두에서 감소하였고, 회복기에는 서서히 증가하여 자연회복군과 100%산소 흡입군은 회복기 90분에 거의 회복되나, $H_2O_2$관장군에서는 pH의 회복이 다른군보다 늦었다. $PaCO_2$는 급성 Co중독시 3개군 모두에서 감소하였고, 회복기에는 서서히 증가하였으나, 자연회복군의 $PaCO_2$는 회복기 90분에 거의 회복하는데 반하여 100%산소흡입군과 $H_2O_2$관장군의 $PaCO_2$는 회복이 늦었고 회복기 90분에도 완전히 회복되지 못하였다. $PaO_2$는 급성 Co중독시 약간 감소하였다가 회복기에는 회복기 15분부터 급격히 증가하였고 회복기 90분까지 대조치보다 높은 $PaO_2$를 유지하였다. 회복기동안 $H_2O_2$관장군의 $PaO_2$는 $102{\sim}107mmhg$로 자연회복군보다 약 10 mmhg 높은 수준을 보였다. HbCO 포화도는 급성 CO중독시 $54{\sim}72%$까지 증가하였다. 회복기에는 $H_2O_2$관장군의 HbCO 포화도의 회복이 자연회복군이나 100%산소 흡입군보다 빨랐으며, 100%산소 흡입군은 회복기 30분에서 60분사이에 자연회복군보다 더 빠른 회복을 보였다. 이상의 결과에서 0.5% $H_2O_2$관장은 CO중독시 혈액의 산소분압을 어느정도 증가시킬 뿐 아니라 혈색소와 결합된 CO의 해리를 촉진시켜, 단독요법 또는 산소요법과 병행하여 사용할 때 급성CO중독에 효과적인 치료법이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

It is a fact that there are recent increasing trends or incidence of the colorectal carcinoma among other colorectal diseases. In such trend, the early detection remain to be most important by the air contrast barium enema and total colonofiberscopy. There are several ways to prepare the colon for barium enema and colonofiberscopy which include several agents. The mechanical cleansing have been used most frequently since Brown's method was adapted to be most perfect for colon deansing. The ideal laxatives and enema solutions were limited to adequate dose, it's effectiveness, patient's diet and bowel habit, minimal side effect, low cost and simple to perform. In order to compare the effectiveness of various cleansing solutions, six experimental methods were formed as shown; 1. normal saline enema, 2. castor oil with normal saline enema, 3. castor oil with soap suds enema, 4. magnesium citrate with normal saline, 5. magnesium citrate with soap suds enema and 6. ingestion of Golyetly solution. The authors have compared and determined the degree of cleanness by an experienced endoscopist. The total number of patients was 247, age distribution was $43{\pm}15$ years old, and sex distribution was 133 males and 114 females. The grade I and II represented no difficulties at performing the colonofiberscopy, but grade ill and N had some difficulties, even unable to perform the colonofiberscopy. The effectiveness the cleansing agents, represented with grade I and II was 95.9% (47/49) in method 6, 93.2%(54/58) in method 2, 83.3%(30/33) in method 3, 70.0%(28/10) in method 5, 66.7%(16/24) in method i, and 45.7%(18/40) in method 4. Method 2 and 6 were the most effective in normal bowel habit patients. In constipated patients, method 6 was the most effective and all method except method 11 were effective in diarrhea patients. The degrees of less mucosal irritation by various bowel cleansing method were in the order of method 6(100%), 1(100%), 5(74%), 2(69%). In subjective symptoms and cleansing groups, abdominal distension, pain, nausea and vomiting were complained, and that's subject symptoms were in the order of method 3(88.9%), 6 (79.6%), 1(75%), 5(72.5%), 2(72.4%), 4(67.5%). In conclusion, we believe that the Golytely of the mechanical cleansing solution for colonofiberscopy was the most effective, but others depended on the patient's condition und bowel habit.

A 70-year-old female patient was admitted due to the impression of lung abscess via local clinic. Chest P-A showed air shadow containing huge mass lesion in the right lower lung field, pericardio phrenic angle. But the patient complained of only mild upper respiratioy tract infection symptoms and the laboratory tests were within normal limits. Barium enema and chest C-T taken right after barium enema were performed in suggestion of the diaphragmatic hernia. Barium filled transverse colon and associated omentum were in the right anterior hemithorax surrounded by the hernial sac. The mass lesion shown in the chest P-A was compatible with the diaphragmatic hernia, Morgagni type. Operative reduction of the herniated bowel and simple closure of the diaphragm was performed.

Purpose: Meconium obstruction of prematurity (MOP) predisposes premature infants to intestinal perforation and prolonged hospitalization if not diagnosed and treated promptly. A standard contrast enema is less effective to treat infants with distal ileal obstructions because the contrast may not reach the obstructed areas. In an effort to avoid risky surgery, we administered oral contrast media to seven clinically diagnosed patients with MOP whose obstructions were not relieved via conventional sonography-guided contrast enema. We retrospectively evaluated whether oral nonionic water-soluble contrast media relieves MOP. Methods: Seven of 67 premature infants with MOP were administered oral contrast media from June 2015 to January 2019. Patients were followed-up radiographically for bowel distention and evacuation of contrast media after oral administration. We recorded radiographic improvements, meconium evacuation, time to first feeding after oral contrast media administration, maternal history, and neonatal clinical factors. Results: We evaluated five male and two female infants. The median gestational ages and body weights at birth were 27⁺⁵ weeks and 890 g, respectively. Radiography in five infants revealed multiple distended intestinal loops without air-fluid interfaces. Two infants had gasless abdomens, in which only stomach gas was visible. Oral contrast media (median, 2.5 mL) were administered at a median age of 7 days; five infants (5/7, 71.4%) responded to this treatment. The remaining two infants, who had ileal stenosis and hypoganglionosis, were surgically managed. Five infants (5/7, 71.4%) had maternal risk factors, and two (28.6%) were small for gestational age. Conclusion: Nonionic oral water-soluble contrast medium can serve as a valuable adjunct treatment in premature infants with meconium obstruction.

Bochdalek hernia is a type of congenital diaphragmatic defect in the posterolateral portion of the diaphragm. The defect is usually Lt. sided due to protective effect of liver on right. Sex distribution is male preponderance [2:1] and it is diagnosed during neonate, mostly first 24 hours, due to severe respiratory distress. We experienced a rare case of old aged female patient with congenital Bochdalek hernia on Rt. side which was found incidentally during treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax of Rt. side. 17 year old female patient was admitted to CS department for chest discomfort on right and mild dyspnea with duration of 20 days. Under the diagnosis of spontaneous pneumothorax, Rt. closed thoracostomy and underwater sealed drainage with continuous suction was applied. On follow-up chest x-ray, poorly defined hazy increased density with multiple air-fluid levels in Rt. lower lung field and Lt. subphrenic free air were noted. So, Barium enema was done under the impression of Rt. diaphragmatic hernia, and nearly entire colon proximal to sigmoid was demonstrated in the Rt. hemithorax. Operation was done-for surgical repair of defected diaphragm through Rt. posterolateral thoracotomy. Operative findings were as follows; 1.Hypoplastic Rt. lung, esp. RML & RLL. 2.Nearly entirely intestines were herniated. 3.Diaphragmatic defect was located on posterolateral portion of the diaphragm, about 10x3cm in size with blunt smooth margin. 4.A large bleb on apex of RUL of lung. Herniated intestines were repaired into abdominal cavity manually and defect of diaphragm was repaired with No. I black silk interrupted sutures directly, and bleb was resected. Postoperative courses were uneventful and the patient was discharged with good condition on POD 14th.

A 6-years-old 30 kg male Germen Shepherd dog was presented with the history of abdominal pain, intermittent vomiting and anorexia. Abdominal survey radiography and ultrasonography revealed marked colonic distention. Positive contrast radiography revealed a colonic obstruction between the transverse colon and descending colon. Foreign bodies were identfied during colonoscopy. The descending colon was inflated by the air of endocope then foreign bodies were moved to the descending colon. Foreign bodies were removed by the enema. The dog's clinical signs resolved following foreign body removal.
