연구배경 : 기관지 천식과 위식도 역류는 성인에서 호발하는 질병으로, 위식도 역류가 기관지 천식을 악화시키는 요인으로 알려지면서 최근 두질환의 관계에 대한 연구가 활발해지고 있는 추세이나 아직 정확한 동반 빈도와 발병기전은 밝혀지지 않았다. 서양에서는 천식환자의 약 50~60%에서 위식도 역류가 동반되고, 위식도 역류의 치료시 천식증상이 개선되었다는 보고가 있으나 국내에서는 기관지 천식환자에서 위식도역류의 유병률과 위식도 역류 치료와 천식증상의 관계에 대한 연구가 미약한 실정이다. 방 법 : ATS(American Thoracic Society) 기준에 따라 진단된 기관지 천식환자 42명과 기관지 천식의 기왕력이 20명의 정상대조군을 대상으로, 24시간 보행 식도 pH 검사를 실시하여 DeMeester scoring system을 기준으로 하여, 7개의 지표중 1개라도 pH 4 이하의 % time이 정상 95 percentile 보다 증가된 경우 비정상적인 위식도 역류가 있는 것으로 판정하였고, 위식도 역류가 동반된 천식환자에게 위장관 운동 촉진제인 cisapride를 8주간 투여하여 그 효과를 연구하였다. 결 과 : 기관지 천식 환자군중 11명(26.2%)에서 위식도 역류가 관찰되었고, 정상 대조군에 비해 앙와위 및 전체 시간 %가 의미있게 증가되었다. 위식도 관찰되는 11명중 4명에게 cisapride를 8주간 투여후 실시한 검사상 천식증상 지수의 감소, $FEV_1$과 PEFR 증가, 24시간 보행 식도 pH검사상 혼합점수의 감소등 천식증상 및 위식도 역류가 개선되었다. 결 론 : 기관지 천식환자에서 위식도 역류의 유병률은 26.2%로 정상 대조군보다 높았고 특히 앙와위시 역류가 증가하는 소견을 보였으며, 위장관 운동촉진제를 복용시 천식 증상 및 폐기능이 약간 호전되는 경향을 보였다.

Objectives : Non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) can be divided into gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) related NCCP and non-GERD related NCCP. Our study was designed to examine the differences in clinical characteristics and psychological mood states between the two clinical syndromes. Methods : After some cardiologic evaluations such as treadmill exercise, coronary angiography, and echocardiography, 27 patients with NCCP were enrolled in this study. They were divided into patients with GERD related NCCP (12 patients) and those with non-GERD related NCCP (15 patients) using the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and the ambulatory 24 hour esophageal pH monitoring. Clinical characteristics such as typical reflux symptoms and psychological mood states were measured. Patients who showed scores more than 10 on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) or Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were defined as depressed or anxious group. Anxiety sensitivity Index (ASI) was also measured in all patients. All parameters were compared between patients with GERD related NCCP and those with non-GERD related NCCP. Results : The two groups showed a difference in typical reflux symptoms. Patients with non-GERD related NCCP had higher scores on the BDI, BAI and ASI than those with GERD related NCCP. Among all NCCP patients, 14 patients (51.9%) were suggested to have possible depression or anxiety disorders. Conclusion : The non-GERD related NCCP was shown to be associated with psychological mood states such as anxiety and depression. Thus, we suggest that routine measurement of psychological mood states should be necessary in the evaluation and treatment of NCCP.

Fundoplication is a common surgical procedure for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Recently the procedure has been performed with increased frequency laparoscopically. The aim of this study is to review our 11 years experience with fundoplication in infants and children. From October 1994 to December 2005, 59 fundoplications in 55 patients were performed at Sungkyunkwan University Samsung Medical Center. Medical records and laboratory results of these children were retrospectively reviewed for sex, age, symptoms and signs, coexisting disease, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities and length of operative time. Open fundoplication was performed in 41 cases and laparoscopic fundoplication in 18 cases. Simultaneous gastrostomy was done in 27 cases. Recurrent GERD symptom occurred in four patients (7.2 %) within 2 years after first fundoplication and all 4 patients had re-do fundoplication. There were no intra- and immediate post-operative complications. Gastrointesitnal symptoms were the most common indication for fundoplication in neurologically normal patients. The most frequent diagnostic studies were upper gastrointestinal series (76.3 %) and 24 hour esophageal pH monitoring (78.2 %). Fundoplication had been increased since 2004 and mostly done laparoscopically. In conclusion, our 11 years' practice of open and laparoscopic fundoplication indicates that both approaches are safe and effective in the treatment of GERD for infants and children.

Purpose: On the basis of evidence, we aimed to reevaluate the necessity of the empirical proton pump inhibitor (PPI) trial for children with suspected gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods: We analyzed the frequency of GERD in 85 school-age children with gastroesophageal reflux (GER) symptoms, who received 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring and/or upper endoscopy. According to the reflux index (RI), the children were classified into normal (RI <5%), intermediate (5%${\leq}$ RI <10%), or abnormal (RI ${\geq}$10%) groups. Results: Fifty six were female and 29 were male. Their mean age was $12.6{\pm}0.5$ (${\pm}$standard deviation) years (range: 6.8-18.6). The RI analysis showed that the normal group included 76 patients (89.4%), the intermediate group included 6 patients (7.1%), and the abnormal group included 3 patients (3.5%). The DeMeester score was $5.93{\pm}4.65$, $14.68{\pm}7.86$ and $40.37{\pm}12.96$ for the normal, intermediate and abnormal group, respectively (p=0.001). The longest reflux time was $5.56{\pm}6.00$ minutes, $9.53{\pm}7.84$ minutes, and $19.46{\pm}8.35$ minutes in the normal, intermediate, and abnormal group, respectively (p=0.031). Endoscopic findings showed reflux esophagitis in 7 patients. On the basis of the Los Angeles Classification of Esophagitis, 5 of these patients were included in group A, 1 patient, in group B and 1 patient, in group C. Conclusion: The incidence of GERD was very low in school-age children with GER symptoms. Therefore, injudicious diagnostic PPI trials would be postponed until the actual prevalence of GERD is verified in future prospective studies.

덤핑증후군은 소아에서 위식도역류의 치료로 위저추벽성형술을 시행하는 경우에 잘 발생하는 질환으로 당 부하 검사를 통하여 식사 직후에 나타나는 고혈당과 뒤이어 나타나는 저혈당을 보임으로써 진단될 수 있으며, 생 옥수수 전분을 포함한 식이 요법으로 효과적으로 치료될 수 있다. 저자들은 위저추벽성형술을 시행 받은 뒤에 덤핑증후군이 발생한 1례를 경험하였고, 본 질환이 소아에서 위저추벽성형술과 같은 위 수술 후에 수유장애가 있을 경우 반드시 의심해보아야 할 질환이라고 사료되어 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
