  • 목 적: 반복성 복통(Recurrent abdominal pain)은 소아의 약 10%에서 볼 수 있는 비교적 흔한 증상으로, H. pylori 감염과 반복성 복통과의 연관성에 대한 연구가 일부에서 이루어져 왔으나 아직까지 명확한 관계는 밝혀져 있지 않다. 또 반복성 복통으로 내원하여 H. pylori 감염이 확인된 소아에서 제균 요법이 반드시 필요한지에 대해서도 아직 결론이 내려지지 않은 상태이다. 저자들은 소아에서 반복성 복통증과 H. pylori 감염의 연관성을 확인하고 제균 요법이 반복성 복통의 경과에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 1998년 1월부터 2005년 1월까지 반복성 복통으로 서울대학교 어린이병원에 내원하여 상부 위장관 내시경 검사를 받았던 환아 중에서 추적관찰이 가능하였던 166명을 대상으로 하였다. 이 중 H. pylori 감염 환아 70명 모두에서 제균 요법을 시행하였고, 제균 성공한 군(Group Ia) 52명과 실패한 군(Group Ib) 18명에서의 복통의 경과를 관찰하였다. 대조군인 H. pylori 비감염 환아 96명에서는 약제를 전혀 투여하지 않은 군(Group IIa) 67명, 위산억제제를 투여한 군(Group IIb) 13명, 그리고 위산억제제와 항생제를 함께 투여한 군(Group IIc) 16명으로 나누어 복통의 경과를 관찰하였다. 의무기록지 검토와 전화 인터뷰를 시행하여 6개월, 12개월 시점에서 복통의 경과를 판정하였으며, 복통이 완전히 또는 거의 완전히 소실된 경우를 grade 0, 복통이 50% 이상 현저히 호전되었으나 간혹 복통을 호소하는 경우를 grade I, 그리고 복통의 정도와 빈도에 변화가 전혀 없는 경우를 grade II로 정하였다. 결 과: 1) 전체 166명 환아의 연령은 $10.0{\pm}3.3$세, 남녀비는 1:1.72, 내원 전까지의 복통의 지속기간은 $18.2{\pm}19.3$개월, 추적 관찰기간은 $3.0{\pm}2.6$년이었다. 대상 환아의 특성, 증상이 시작될 당시의 연령, 증상의 지속기간, 추적 관찰기간 등에 있어서 H. pylori 감염군과 비감염군 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 2) 상부 위장관 내시경 소견 결과에서 H. pylori 감염군에서 결절성 위염(p<0.001)이나 결절성 십이지장염(p=0.001)의 빈도가 유의하게 높았고, 비감염군의 경우 정상 내시경 소견을 보인 빈도가 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). 병리 조직검사에서 H. pylori 감염군에서 비감염군에 비해 중등도 만성 위염(71.4% vs 12.8%, p<0.001)과 중증 만성 위염(15.7% vs 1.1%, p<0.001)의 빈도가 유의하게 더 높았다. 3) H. pylori 감염 환아 70명에서 1개월 동안 복통의 경과를 관찰하였을 때, 제균 성공한 군(Group Ia)은 grade 0 69.2%, grade I 19.2%, grade II 11.5%였고 제균 실패한 군(Group Ib)은 grade 0 50.0%, grade I 44.4%, grade II 5.6%로 두 군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=0.103). 6개월 동안 복통의 경과를 관찰하였을 때, Group Ia는 grade 0 72.1%, grade I 21.0%, grade II 7.0%였고 Group Ib는 grade 0 50.0%, grade I 30.0%, grade II 20.0%로 마찬가지로 두 군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.311). 1년 경과관찰 시에도 Group Ia는 grade 0 75.0%, grade I 12.5%, grade II 12.5%였고 Group Ib는 grade 0 55.6%, grade I 33.3%, grade II 11.1%로 역시 두 군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.338). 4) H. pylori 비감염 환아 96명에서 1개월간 복통의 경과를 관찰하였을 때, 약제를 전혀 투여하지 않은 군(Group IIa)은 grade 0 34.3%, grade I 38.8%, grade II 26.9%, 위산 억제제를 투여한 군(Group IIb)은 grade 0 46.2%, grade I 23.1%, grade II 30.8%, 그리고 위산 억제제와 항생제를 함께 투여한 군(Group IIc)은 grade 0 43.8%, grade I 18.8%, grade II 37.5%로 세 군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=0.533). 6개월간 복통의 경과를 관찰하였을 때, Group IIa는 grade 0 45.6%, grade I 33.3%, grade II 21.1%, Group IIb는 grade 0 50%, grade I 30%, grade II 20%, Group IIc는 grade 0 72.7%, grade I 0%, grade II 27.3%로 마찬가지로 세 군 간에 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=0.269). 1년 경과관찰 시에도 Group IIa는 grade 0 58.7%, grade I 17.4%, grade II 23.9%, Group IIb는 grade 0 66.7%, grade I 11.1%, grade II 22.2%, Group IIc는 grade 0 70.0%, grade I 20.0%, grade II 10.0%로 마찬가지로 복통의 경과는 세 군에서 유의한 차이는 없었다(p=0.879). 결 론: 반복성 복통 환아에서 H. pylori 감염 시 제균 요법을 시행하였을 때 대부분에서 복통이 호전되었으나 복통의 경과는 제균의 성공 또는 실패여부와 상관없었다. 이는 반복성 복통과 H. pylori 감염의 연관성이 적음을 시사하는 소견으로 판단된다. 또한 H. pylori 감염이 없는 환아도 약제의 투여 여부와 상관없이 내시경 검사 후 대부분에서 복통이 호전되는 경과를 보였다. 따라서 반복성 복통 환아에서 제균 요법을 포함한 약물 치료를 하는 것보다 환자가 기질적인 병변이 없다는 인식을 갖게 하는 것이 복통의 소실에 더 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

  • Purpose: Abdominal cysts of gastrointestinal origin are rare. Their rarity and varied clinical presentations make their pre-operative diagnosis difficult. Methods: Fourteen patients with histological diagnosis of cysts of gastrointestinal origin admitted between 2009 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed with respect to age, sex, clinical presentation, diagnostic modality, site and type of cyst, management, outcome and follow-up. Results: The mean age at presentation was 4 years and there were six males and eight females. Abdominal pain was the most common presenting symptom. Five patients had an acute presentation-three had distal ileal mesenteric cysts and two had ileal duplication cyst sharing a common wall with ileum. Six patients presented with chronic abdominal pain and lump-three patients had omental cysts and three had mesenteric cysts-two of these in distal ileum and one in sigmoid colon. Two patients presented with antenatally diagnosed palpable abdominal lump. One had a mesenteric cyst of the ileum and the other had a distal ileal duplication cyst which required excision with resection and anastomosis. One patient had an atypical presentation. He was a known case of sickle cell trait and had presented with vague abdominal pain, recurrent cough and multiple episodes of haemoptysis over a period of one year. At laparotomy, gastric duplication cyst was found which was excised completely. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusion: Cysts of gastrointestinal origin are rare and have varied presentation. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment. The results and prognosis are good.

  • Recurrent acute pancreatic attacks is a rare clinical condition (2-5% of all acute pancreatis) in children and is mainly idiopathic in most cases. Sometimes it may be associated with congenital anomalies, metabolic diseases or hereditary conditions. Isovaleric acidemia (IVA) is a rare autosomal recessive amino acid metabolism disorder associated with isovaleryl coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency presenting the clinical findings such metabolic acidosis with increased anion gap, hyperammonemia, ketonemia, hypoglycemia, "the odor of sweaty feet," abdominal pain, vomiting, feeding intolerance, shock and coma. Recurrent acute pancreatitis associated with IVA have been rarely reported. Herein; we report a child who admitted with recurrent acute pancreatic attacks and had the final diagnosis of IVA. Mutation analysis revealed a novel homozygous mutation of (p.E117K [c.349G>A]) in the IVA gene. Organic acidemias must kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of recurrent acute pancreatic attacks in children.

  • 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.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to report the improvement effect of symptoms of integrative cancer treatment (ICT) on recurrent gallbladder cancer patients. Methods: A 73-year-old patient with recurrent gallbladder cancer visited the Daejeon Korean Medicine Hospital of Daejeon University East West Cancer Center (EWCC) on February 2022. After the diagnosis of gallbladder cancer, the patient underwent cholecystectomy and relapsed during follow-up. After the operation, the cancer recurred during follow-up, and after radiation treatment, she had been receiving ICT since February 2022. The clinical outcomes were measured by X-ray, computed tomography (CT), laboratory findings, including tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9), and numeric rating scales (NRS). Results: After treatment, abdominal pain was relieved from NRS 5 to 2, and abdominal circumference decreased from 74.5 to 67. During and after treatment, we found neither hepatotoxicity nor nephrotoxicity in the laboratory findings. Conclusion: This case study suggests that ICT may improve symptoms in patients with gallbladder cancer.

  • Paraplegia complicating a block of the celiac plexus with alcohol for recurrent stomach cancer is described. A 33 year old male patient was admitted to control for severe epigastric pain. With the patient in prone position, the needle was advanced further than 2 cm on the anterior margin of $L_1$ vertebral body under fluoroscopy. 3 ml of 1% lidocaine and 5 ml of conray were injected through each needle, and the diffusion of the contrast medium was checked, This was followed by 7 ml of pure alcohol and 8 ml of 50% alcohol for each needle. At that time, the patient was very satisfied with loss of abdominal pain. About 30 minutes after injection of alcohol, suddenly patient complained of severe burning pain on back and both extremities. Thereafter, loss of sensation and paralysis in both extremities were developed slowly. The senstivity to cold recovered 3 days after block. By the 33rd day after the block, sensation had recovered in both extremities, the bladder and rectum. Movement of the right ankle joint and left great toe was also possible.

  • Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis/ Chronic Pancreatitis (RAP/ CP) is generally marked by sudden onset of symptoms like severe abdominal pain, vomiting and weight loss that needs emergency hospitalization. Owing to irreversible and progressive nature of the disease and limitations of conventional treatment, many patients look for an alternative solution. Here, we report data of 250 well diagnosed cases of acute recurring/ chronic pancreatitis, enrolled in between January 1997 to August 2016, in our Ayurvedic clinical practice in Northern part of India. Ayurveda is well recognized as an independent medical system parallel to conventional medicines in India and a subject is free to opt for any system of medicine for the prevention and treatment of any ailment. The subjects were treated with a complex herbo-mineral formulation based on the principles of Rasa Shastra in Ayurveda that deals with the therapeutics of processed metals in the prevention and treatment of diseases. They were also prescribed a regulated balanced diet and lifestyle. Significant improvement has been noted in subjects who have completed the treatment.
