목적 : 본 연구는 배기음(排氣飮)이 토끼의 위장관내에서 화학물질에 의해 유발된 장관의 궤양에 유효한 효과를 발휘할 수 있는지를 검증하기 위한 실험이다. 방법 : 토끼 5마리를 한 군으로 하여 정상군과 체중 1kg당 200mg 분량의 mepirizole을 경구 투여한 군과 100mg/kg의 배기음(排氣飮)(경구투여)과 800Units/kg 분량의 catalase(정맥주사)를 mepirizole을 경구투여하기 2시간 전에 각각 전처치한 군으로 나누었다. Mepirizole을 경구 투여한 후 각각 24hr와 48hr에 토끼를 희생시켜 위장, 십이지장부의 궤양성 병변을 관찰하였다. 결과 : Mepirizole을 경구투여하여 위장 및 십이지장 기부의 궤양성 병변이 유발되었다. 배기음(排氣飮)(경구투여)과 catalase(정맥주사)를 전처치하였을 경우 궤양의 크기가 현저하게 줄어들었다. Mepirizole은 십이지장 점막에서 지질의 과산화를 증가시키는데 이는 수산화기와 관련되어 있음을 시사한다. 배기음(排氣飮)과 catalase를 전처치함으로써 mepirizole에 의해 유발된 지질의 과산화가 현저하게 억제되었다. 형태학상의 연구에서도 mepirizole의 처치에 의한 십이지장의 손상과 배기음(排氣飮)에 의한 방지효과가 나타났다. 결론 : 이러한 결과들로 볼 때 반응성산소기는 mepirizole에 의해 유발된 위장관 궤양의 병리변화 형성에 주요한 영향을 미치며 배기음(排氣飮)이 항산화작용을 통해 궤양의 형성을 억제하는 역할을 하고 있음을 나타낸다. 따라서 본 연구는 배기음(排氣飮)이 반응성산소기에 의해 매개된 인체 위장관질환에 치료적 역할을 할 수 있음을 제시하고 있다.

An 1-year-old, intact female Yorkshire Terrier weighing 1.83 kg was referred for vomiting and anorexia. Survey abdominal radiographs revealed marked gastric distention. Ultrasonography showed a hyperechoic material with acoustic shadowing near the pylorus. A foreign body and ulceration were identified during gastroscopic examination. After endoscopic retrieval of gastric foreign body, unexpectedly abdominal distention was developed. Abdominal radiographs revealed pneumoperitoneum, but no leakage of contrast media was observed in gastrointestinal contrast study. Three days after hospitalization with supportive care, no abnormal findings were detected, and then the dog was discharged. This case describes the development of peumoperitoneum during endoscopic retrieval of gastric foreign body.

Probiotics may be defined as microbial agents that can benefit humans and have been used primarily by mankind in fermented foods. A representative of probiotics is lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which has received attention recently due to its perceived health benefits. We reviewed research papers about Bifidobacerium and Lactobacillus, which are two of the most known of the LAB. Bifidobacerium alleviates diarrhea from various causes by improving intestinal microflora, and it has been reported that it reduces Helicobacter pylori bacteria known as the cause of gastric ulcer and stomach cancer. Bifidobacerium has also reported to be effective on immunization and allergy, reduce blood cholesterol, cancer, lactose intolerance. Lactobacillus alleviates diarrhea but has not fully demonstrated its effectiveness relative to other health issues. Several lactic acid bacteria and yeast are expected to act as probiotics, so, in the future, more research on the health benefits of lactic acid bacteria is needed.

Cholelithiasis, duodenal ulcer, duodenal perforation and tumor invasion may lead to choledochoduodenal fistula (CDF). CDF often has no specific symptoms and may be incidentally detected in an upper gastrointestinal radiographic study or endoscopy; but in some cases, it may be accompanied by recurrent cholangitis and liver abscess. In this paper, a case of recurrent liver abscess caused by CDF is reported. A 62-year-old female was admitted to the authors' hospital because of right upper quadrant pain and fever. The abdominal computed tomography showed a liver abscess in the right lobe. A duodenal fistulous orifice was detected with endoscopy, and a contrast was injected through the duodenal orifice using a catheter under fluoroscopy. The injection of the contrast revealed a fistulous track between the duodenal bulb and the common hepatic duct. In fistulas complicated by recurrent liver abscess, surgery or medical management may be needed. The CDF in this case study was treated via endoscopic clipping.

Helicobacter pylori infection plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric malignancy. A diagnosis of infection is thus an important part of a treatment strategy of many gastrointestinal tract diseases. Many diagnostic tests are available but all have some limitations in different clinical situations and laboratory settings. A single gold standard cannot available, but be used for diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection in daily clinical practice in all areas, so several techniques have been developed to give reliable results, especially focusing on real time endoscopic features. The narrow band imaging system (NBI) and high resolution endoscopy are imaging techniques for enhanced visualization of infected mucosa and premalignant gastric lesions. The aim of this article is to review the current diagnostic options and possible future developments detection of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Although the 'Insamyangwee-tang' has been widely used in clinical purposes in the oriental medicine, its clinical efficacy is only documentated for the cases of gastritis, gastric ulcer and enteritis, but the experimental study on these has not been undertaken. So, to investigate the clinical efficacy of 'Insamyangwee-tang' comparing with animal experiments, This study was carried out. The results showed that relaxing action was shown on the isolated ileum in mice and that strong antagonistic actions were seen on $BaCl_2$, acetylcholine and histamine induced contraction of the ileum in mice, rats, rabbits and guinea-pigs that the relaxing effect of the intestinal smooth muscle was recognized. Inhibitory effects on transport rate in the small intestine of mice. Strong antagonistic actions were seen on acetylcholine induced contraction of duodenum in rats and remarkably inhibiting actions were seen of duodenum in rats. Inhibitory action on the secretion of gastric juice and pepsin, anti-ulceration effect was recognized.
