Background and Objectives: Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is a very common disease among outpatients of department of otorhinolaryngology. Although there are several diagnostic tools for LPR disease and ambulatory 24-hour double-probe pH monitoring is gold standard method, empirical diagnosis by reflux symptom index and reflux finding score (RFS) are mainly used. So we analyzed the relationship between ambulatory 24-hour double-probe pH monitoring and RFS in patients with LPR. Subjective and Method: Fifty patients with LPR symptoms and abnormal RFS and ambulatory 24-hour double probe monitoring were enrolled. Each items and sum of laryngeal reflux score were compared the results of ambulatory 24-hour double-probe pH monitoring in upper (UES) and lower (LES) esophageal sphincter. Results: There were no significant correlation between the results of ambulatory 24-hour double-probe pH monitoring in UES (pH<4 and pH<5) and each item and sum of RFS. However, supine time and reflux number of UES (pH<5) were showed the partial correlations with diffuse laryngeal edema and thick endolaryngeal mucus (p=0.03, p=0.01). Although there were no relationship between the results of ambulatory 24-hour double-probe pH monitoring in LES and sum of RFS, the significant correlations presented between granuloma and total time (p=0.008), upright time (p=0.008, reflux number (p=0.049) of LES. Conclusion: Although granuloma among items of RFS showed significantly correlation with the results of ambulatory 24-hour double-probe pH monitoring in LES, there were no significant correlation between the results of ambulatory 24-hour double-probe pH monitoring in UES and LES and items and sum of RFS.

간담도 스캔은 간세포와 담낭의 기능정도 및 담도계의 폐쇄여부를 알 수 있는 검사법이다. 또한 위부분절제술 후에 증가하는 위-담즙 역류는 담즙 역류성 위염의 주요 원인으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 위부분절제술 환자의 간담도 스캔에서 위-담즙역류가 관찰되어 촬영방법에 따른 역류시기와 역류지표를 알아보고자 한다. 본원 핵의학과에 2008년 10월부터 2009년 1월까지 간담도 스캔을 시행한 환자 중 위부분절제술을 한 환자 72명(남자: 52명, 여자: 20명, 연령범위: 31-77세, 평균연령: $60.5{\pm}7$세)을 대상으로 하였다. $^{99m}Tc$-mebrofenin 185 MBq/0.5 cc를 환자의 전주정맥에 주사 5분 후 바로 누운자세에서 전면상 30 kcounts를 획득하고, time setting으로 우측면상, $45^{\circ}$ 좌전사 위상을 획득하였다. 동일한 방법으로 30분, 60분, 90분, 지방식 후 120분 영상을 획득하였다. 위-담즙역류가 일어난 환자의 경우 30분 전면상, 좌전사위상에서 liver, GB, CBD의 ROI를 그리고, 이후 영상들에서 위 역류 부분의 시간 별, 자세 별 관심영역을 그렸다. 그리고 그에 따른 역류지표 구하였다. 72명의 위부분절제술 환자 중 위-담즙역류가 40명(55.6%)의 환자에서 일어났으며, 30분 영상에서 1명, 60분 영상에서 7명, 90분 영상에서 4명, 지방식 후 영상에서 28명이었다. 시간 별 위-담즙역류가 최고치는 60분 영상에서 6명, 90분 영상에서 2명, 지방식 후 영상에서 32명으로 보였다. 전면상의 역류지표 0.85-23.36%(평균: 6.53%), 좌전사위상의 역류지표 1-29.13%(평균: 8.89%)이었다. 육안평가로는 26명(65%)이 전면상보다 좌전사위상의 위-담즙역류가 더 잘 구분되어 보였다. 위부분절제술 환자의 간담도 스캔에서 위-담즙역류가 50% 이상 일어나는 것을 알 수 있고, 음식물을 섭취한 후 위-담즙역류가 가장 잘 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 위-담즙역류가 일어나는 경우 장과 위의 중첩을 줄여주는 좌전사위상을 촬영하고 환자마다 그에 따른 시간대의 위-담즙 역류 지표를 제공함으로써 임상에서 간담도 스캔 목적 이외의 도움이 될 것이라 생각된다.

Background : Anti-reflux procedures treat gastroesophageal reflux (GER) disease. It is known that gastroesophageal reflux is likelyrelated to the increased incidence of chronic rejection in lung transplantation recipients. Because experimental animal studies areto verify this, we have tried to make an animal model of GER in a rat. Material and Methods : Using the SD rats weighing 250-300 g, we surgically induced gastroesophageal reflux and measured the gastrostomy time under anesthesia. Of three groups, Group I was the control, Group II had lower esophageal and anterior myotomy, and Group III had lower esophageal and anterior myotomy plusdiaphragmatic crural myotomy.The animals were scarified, and lung biopsies and histological examinations were performed 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 3 months after gastroesophageal reflux surgery. Results : Baseline animals (n=5) had no GER after charcoal instillation through a gastrostomy tube in Group I. Charcoal-laden macrophages were observed in GroupsII and III. To determine evidence of GER evidence, charcoal was instillated through the gastrostomy tube in group III. In contrast, Group II demonstrated severe neurophil infiltration in the bronchioles and alveolar walls after procedure. After 12 weeks, we observed the disappearance of neurophil, lymphocyte and histiocyte infiltration, and also occasional focal bronchopneumonia and bronchitis. Group III demonstrated neurophil and basophil infiltration in the bronchioles and alveolar walls which was more severe than that in Group II. Interstitial fibrotic changes were observed in Group III.Conclusion : The purpose of our gastroesophageal reflux model was to find evidence of aspiration. There was more evidence of aspiration in Group II than in either of theother two groups.

In this study, the effect of soxhlet extraction on dewaxing of the aged beeswax-treated paper was examined. To do this, soxhlet extraction of the aged beeswax-treated paper performed with different reflux conditions and then measured the dewaxing efficiency and change in the various properties such as tensile strength, folding endurance, color and brightness. Also, an artificial aging test was executed in order to investigate the effect of soxhlet extraction on the preservability of the dewaxed paper. As the result of FT-IR analysis, a peak area of CH and COOH group, which are main band of beeswax, was decreased or removed after soxhlet extraction. The decreasing rate of each peaks were increased depending on reflux time. After dewaxing, the physical property such as MIT type folding endurance and tensile strength was decreased. And $L^*$ value and brightness were increased while $a^*$ and $b^*$ value were decreased due to the remove of color compounds in beeswax. The more color deviation (${\Delta}E$) is expected with higher reflux times. As the result of artificial aging, preservability of two dewaxed papers except of DP_SE(C) sample was higher than that of untreated paper i.e. beeswax-treated paper.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate bolus transit during esophageal swallow (ES) and gastroesophageal reflux (GER) events and to investigate the relationship between the characteristics of ES and GER events in a population of term and preterm newborns with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods: The study population consisted of term and preterm newborns referred to combined multichannel intraluminal impedance (MII) and pH monitoring for GERD symptoms. The frequency and characteristics of ES and GER events were assessed by two independent investigators. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: Fifty-four newborns (23 preterm) were included in the analyses. Median bolus head advancing time corrected for esophageal length (BHATc) was shorter during mealtime than during the postprandial period (median, interquartile range): 0.20 (0.15-0.29) s/cm vs. 0.47 (0.39-0.64) s/cm, p<0.001. Median bolus presence time (BPT) was prolonged during mealtime: 4.71(3.49-6.27) s vs. 2.66 (1.82-3.73) s, p<0.001. Higher BHATc (p=0.03) and prolonged BPT (p<0.001) were observed in preterm newborns during the postprandial period. A significant positive correlation between BHATc and bolus clearance time was also observed (${\rho}=0.33$, p=0.016). Conclusion: The analysis of ES and GER events at the same time by MII provides useful information to better understand the physiopathology of GERD. In particular, the analysis of BHATc during the postprandial period could help clinicians identify newborns with prolonged esophageal clearance time due to impaired esophageal motility, which could allow for more accurate recommendations regarding further tests and treatment.

가압 경수로의 소형 냉각재 사고시 증기 발생기 U-자관 내에서의 억류 응축 현상(reflux condensation phenomena)은 주요한 열제거 수단이 된다. 열제거 Mechanism이 순수히 역류 응축 현상에 의 할 때, 증기 발생기의 열제거 능력을 평가하기 위하여 원자로 증기 발생기의 U-자관을 모사하는 두개의 U-자 관을 가진 증기응축 장치를 제작하여 다음 두 가지의 실험을 수행하였다. 첫째로, U-자관속에서 역류 응축 현상이 일어날 때 증기의 유입량을 증가시켜 가면서 역류 응축이 일어나는 액체 막 길이 (filmwise reflux condensation length)를 측정하였다. 둘째로는 길이가 다른 두 개의 U-자관에 증기만을 유입시킬 때와 증기와 공기를 동시에 유입시킬 때에 대한 Flooding Point를 측정하여 U-자관의 길이와 비응축성 가스가 Flooding Point에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그리고 수학적 모델을 이용한 이론적 측정값과 실험 Data를 비교하였다.

Background: To analyze the short- and long-term clinical outcomes of 2 reconstruction methods after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods: Three keywords, "gastric neoplasm," "distal gastrectomy," and "reconstruction," were used to search PubMed. We selected only randomized controlled trial that compared the anastomosis methods. A total of 11 papers and 8 studies were included in this meta-analysis. All statistical analyses were performed using the R software. Results: Among short-term clinical outcomes, a shorter operation time, reduced morbidity, and shorter hospital stay were found for Billroth type I (B-I) than for Roux-en-Y (RNY) reconstruction in the meta-analysis (P<0.001, P=0.048, P<0.001, respectively). When comparing Billroth type II (B-II) to RNY, the operation time was shorter for B-II than for RNY (P<0.019), but there were no differences in morbidity or length of hospital stay (P=0.500, P=0.259, respectively).Regarding long-term clinical outcomes related to reflux, there were significantly fewer incidents of reflux esophagitis, reflux gastritis, and bile reflux (P=0.035, P<0.001, P=0.019, respectively) for RNY than for B-I in the meta-analysis, but there was no difference between the 2 methods in residual food (P=0.545). When comparing B-II to RNY, there were significantly fewer incidents of reflux gastritis (P<0.001) for RNY than for B-II, but the amount of residual food and patient weight gain showed no difference. Conclusion: B-I had the most favorable short-term outcomes, but RNY was more advantageous for long-term outcomes than for other methods. Surgeons should be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of anastomosis and select the appropriate method.

Objectives : In this study, we investigated the protective effects of Charybdis japonica (C. japonica) water extract on the acute reflux esophagitis in rat models. Methods : Twenty rats were divided into four groups for examination: normal control group (n=6), the reflux esophagitis group (n=6), reflux esophagitis treated with positive control group (ranitidine 40 mg/kg, n=6), reflux esophagitis treated with C. japonica group (100 mg/kg, n=6). All rats fasted for 18 hr and then were induced with reflux esophagitis by a pylorus and forestomach ligation operation. After 4 hr, the rats were sacrificed. The proinflammatory cytokine and proteins expression measured by western bolt assay, and the histopathological analysis of the esophageal mucosa measured by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results : C. japonica administration significantly was protecting esophageal mucosal damage upon histological analysis of reflux esophagitis in rats. The C. japonica treatment confirmed the protection of the reduction of claudin-5, an evaluation index of the damage of tight junctions in the reflux esophagitis. C. japonica was also found to inhibit the expression of proteins such as COX-2 and TNF-α in the rat esophagus. C. japonica markedly attenuated the activation of NF-κB and phosphorylation of IκBα at the same time. Conclusion : These results indicated that C. japonica suppressed the development of esophagitis through the modulation of inflammation by regulating NF-κB activation. Based on these findings, we concluded that C. japonica can prevent reflux esophagitis.
