Synthetic detergents and surfactants are in widespread usage as household and industrial detergents. Potential human toxic hazard arises following percutaneous absorption or oral ingestion of solution residues from kitchen and feeding utensils, fruits, and vegetables and contaminated water supplies. A toxicological investigations was performed with the synthetic detergents and surfactants [linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS), ${\alpha}$-olefin sulfonate (AOS), sodium lauryl sulfonate (SLS), sodium lauryl ester sulfonate (SLES)］, In acute toxicity, agents were administered subcutaneously into ICR mice. In acute study, after lowering of spontaneous motility, respiratory failure, death appeared, vomitting was often associated with salivation and or retching. No sex difference was observed in LD$\sub$50/ of mice. In subacute toxicity, agents were administered orally into SD rats. Body weight increase was suppressed and there was no adverse effect on food and water consumption. The weight of organs were not changed by agents as compared with control group. No specific change was observed in biochemical and hematologicalor data.

Wallenberg's syndrome is well known of dorsolateral medullary syndrome. A 56-year-old women was admitted because vertigo, vomitting, vertiginous ataxia, ipsilateral loss Rt. face and Lt. lower limb sense.

A case of enetritis caused by Clostridium perfringens was observed in 4years old, male California sea lion(Zalophus californianus). Clinical signs were included in anorexia, depression, diarrhea and vomitting, and the animal died on 4 days after showing clinical signs. Grossly, bloody contents were presented in the intestine and the intestinal mucosa were congested and dark redcolored, and also there were serous fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Histopathologically coagulative necrosis destroyed two third of the villus. Clostridium perfringens were isolated from the intestinal contents. Based on the gross and histopathological findings, this case was diagnosed as necrotic enteritis caused by Clostridium perfringens infection.

This study has been carried out to investigate the cause and symptom of coughing made of foods and wine by referring to 43 literatures. The results were obtained as follows; 1. The factor causing Sik Juk Su ( 食積嗽 ) is Dam Yeum ( 痰飮 ) made from mistaking meals. 2. Excepted Sik Juk Su ( 食積嗽 ), Coughing made of foods and wine are Bi Hae ( 脾咳 ), Uey Hae ( 胃咳 ), Dam Su ( 痰嗽 ). Ju Su ( 酒嗽 ). Han Su (寒嗽). 3. The symptom of Sik Juk Su ( 食積嗽 ) is as follows. pale-looking cough in early morning pain of right sub-ribs body tired low appetite body fever vomitting acid 4.

Appendiceal perforation is uncommon in the neonate. Diess reported the first case in 1908. Approximately 111 additional cases have been reported since that time. However, with exclusion of neonatal appendicitis associated with inguinal or umbilical hernias, necrotizing enterocolitis, meconium plug, and Hirschsprung's disease, there are only 36 cases of primary neonatal appendicitis. We treated a 12 days old boy with perforation of the appendix. The infant was 3000 g at birth and had a normal spontaneous vaginal delivary at 35 weeks of gestation. The mother was 31-year-old and had premature rupture of membrane. After normal feeding for the first 5 days of life, the infant had emesis of undigested milk, decreased activity and jaundice. The baby was admitted to the Pediatrics. Progressive abdominal distension, fever, decreased activity, and vomitting developed over the next six days. Erect abdominal radiography showed pneumoperitoneum. At exploratory laparotomy, a $0.8{\times}0.6$ cm sized perforation was noted at antime-senteric border of midportion of the appendix. Trasmural inflammation and the presence of ganglion cells were noticed on histology.

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.

Vomiting in pediatric patient is frequently encountered problem in emergency room or outpatient clinic. In differential diagnosis, age of the patient or accompanying symptoms should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Accurate diagnosis is very important because surgical treatment is necessary in some of the conditions. Imaging diagnosis of conservative modality such as upper gastrointestinal series or colon study is still important radiological examination in the initial differential diagnosis, but recently ultrasonography offers accurate diagnosis in many situations. The cause of vomiting in pediatric are diverse according to the age group :neonatal sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, or hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in neonates : gastroesophageal reflux, viral enteritis, or intussusception in infant: midgut volvulus, appendicitis, metabolic disorders, or increased intracranial pressure also an be the cause. knowledge of radiological findings of normal gastrointestinal tract is important to recognize abnormalities. A discussion of radiological findings in variable surgical conditions to present as vomiting in pediatric patients is offered.

Stroke is badly demaged for patient, family, society and country. To reduce a sequelae and return rapidly to society, treatment at acute stages is very important. In the research on xiafa(下法;diarrhea technique) used at the acute stages of stroke, the results were as follows. On the treatment of stroke, we are to control qi(氣) For it, sweeting technique(汗法), vomitting technigue(吐法) and diarrhea technique(xiafa ;下法) are used. For treatment on biaoshizheng(標實 reyufushi, 熱鬱腑實) at acute stages, tongfuxiexiafa(通腑瀉下法) is in general use. At acute stages, mental state is very important. Therefore, Xiafa(下法) have to conduct by zangfu(臟腑)'s law. At the acute stages, xiafa(下法) improved a whole body problems by treatment on a constipation and dysuria. We think that xiafa(下法) clinically effect on the cerebral edema and increased intracranial pressure. In the future, experimental study is needed.

An English bulldog, three years old, hospitalzed as vomitting, severe abdominal pain and intermittent body tremor. In blood examination, WBC, amylase, alkaline phosphatase value showed higher than normal value, so we diagnosed as acute pancreatitis. The bulldog was treated with fluid therapy as Ringer's solution, saline and 5% dextrose, and antibiotics as mixed penicillin with streptomycin, and cephazolin. To prevent shock, dexamethasone was medicated in early time. Also the bulldog was medicated as banamine, vitamine K, atropine and cimetidine. When the English bulldog showed improvement we gave him hill's i/d continuously. Through these procedure, the English bulldog recovered completely.
