We studied the effects of the acute intermittent peritoneal dialysis in severe acute renal failure of 1 newborn infant and 2 young infants during 18 months period from February 1985 to April 1986. The predisposing illnesses were severe acute gastroenteritis with dehydration. Reye's syndrome, and bilateral nephrolithiasis with hyperuricemia. The concomittent illnesses were severe hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, DIC(disseminated intravascular coagulopathy), paralytic ileus, metabolic acidosis and gastrointestinal bleeding. As a dialvsate, Imperinol $solution^R$, 1.5% was used in all cases. The cycles of dialysis were 8, 16, and 41 times in each cases. Observed complications during dialysis were leakage, and abdominal wall and scrotol swelling in 2 cases, hyperglycemia in 1 case, and peritonitis in 1 case. Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was cultured in peritoneal fluid of peritonitis. These complications were treated by stopping dialysis in leakage and abdiminal wall swelling, insulin therapy in hyperglycemia, and intraperitoneal and systemic antibiotics therapy in peritonitis. We experienced improvements of severe acute renal failure with variable concomittant illnesses by acute intermittent peritoneal dialysis despite of the treatable complications of dialysis in all cases.

장 중복낭종은 드문 선천성 기형 질환으로 구강에서 항문까지 어느 곳에서나 발견할 수 있고 장관과 교통하기도 한다. 특히 맹장의 장 중복낭종은 더욱 드문 질환이다. 이들은 구토나 반복적인 복통과 위장관 출혈 및 변비 등의 증상으로 급성 장폐색을 발생시키며 생후 2년내 80%에서 발견된다. 저자들은 신생아에서 맹장의 장 중복낭종에 의해 발생한 장 폐색 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to report the effect of Korean medicine treatments on an elderly patient with acute hematochezia and anemia Case presentation: An 81-year-old female with chronic multifocal middle cerebral artery infarction had symptoms of acute hematochezia and anemia. Method: The patient was treated with Korean medicine therapy. Results: Treatment with Korean medicine, including herbal medicine, significantly improved the patient's symptoms. After treatment, her hematochezia was improved and the results of a complete blood count (CBC) also improved. No side effects were observed during treatment. Conclusion: Korean medicine treatment can be considered an effective treatment for acute hematochezia and anemia in an elderly patient.

Brunneroma, also known as Brunner's gland adenoma or harmatoma, is a very rare benign tumor of the duodenum, which is usually asymptomatic, and is discovered incidentally during endoscopic exam. These lesions are most commonly located in the duodenal bulb and clinical manifestations are variable. We report on a case of a large Brunner's gland adenoma in a 54-year-old man, which was successfully removed by endoscopic resection without complications, such as bleeding or perforation. Microscopically, it was composed entirely of variable Brunner's gland.

십이장에 있는 Brunner씨 선의 양성증식성 병변은 상당히 희유한 변화이다. 지금까지 영문으로 보고된 증례는 대체로 120예를 넘지 않는다. 1835년 Cruveilhier에 의해 처음 증례가 보고되었는 바 대부분의 증례는 양성종양 또는 양성증식성병변으로 나타나나 이 때까지 2예의 악성종양도 보고 되었다. 방사선진단법의 개선과 fibropic endoscopy의 이용으로 십이장의 종양성 병변의 조기진단과 치료에 많은 진전을 보았으며, 따라서 저자는 비교적 희유한 십이장에 생긴 Brunner씨 선에서 발생한 양성종양을 경험하였기에 이 때까지 보고된 문헌을 고찰하고 그 원인, 임상상적 소견, 진단 및 치료에 대한 경험예를 보고하는 바이다. 환자는 51세된 남자로서, 1983년 12월 9일 상북부 동통과 4 주간의 설사를 주소로 하여 본 병원 내과에 입원하여 1984년 l월 23일 ERCP에 의해 십이장에 polyp가 있는 것을 확인하고 외과에서 적출하여 명리조직학적으로 Brunner씨 선에서 발생한 양성선종으로 진단하였다. 본 환자는 그 후 경과가 양호하여 수술후 1년 반까지 아무런 증상 없이 잘 지내고 있음이 확인되었다.

상부 위장관 스텐트 삽입술은 근치적 수술이 불가능한 상부 악성 종양에 의한 상부 위장관 협착 환자의 폐쇄 증상 완화를 위한 보존적 치료로서 확립되었으며 내시경 개발 기술이 발달하고 임상 경험이 축적됨에 따라서 여러 상부 위장관 질환에서 스텐트 삽입술을 보다 편리하고 안전하게 시행할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 스텐트 삽입술 이후에는 동통, 출혈, 천공과 같은 조기 합병증이나 스텐트 일탈, 스텐트 폐쇄 등의 후기 합병증이 발생할 수 있으므로 사후 관리 또한 중요하다.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the pancreas is extremely rare, although it may be increasingly diagnosed due to the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen. Early diagnosis of this disease is important to prevent delay of treatment and resulting fatal complications. We report a rare case of pancreatic AVM in a 48-year-old man who presented with severe chronic anemia and early gastric cancer, which made diagnosis challenging. Imaging findings, including ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, are shown, as well as the pathologic features.

Malakoplakia is an uncommon chronic granulomatous inflammation that usually involves the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts, but rarely affects the female genital tract. We experienced a case of malakoplakia in a cervicovaginal smear in a 54-year-old woman. Colposcopic examination showed a friable, easily bleeding tissue in the uterine cervix and the vaginal fornix. The cervicovaginal smear consisted of numerous isolated histiocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. The histiocytes had an abundant, granular, and degenerated cytoplasm with inflammatory cell debris. Michaelis-Gutmann bodies were readily identified.

Aortoenteric fistula is a rare but potentially fatal condition causing massive gastrointestinal bleeding. In particular, double primary aortoenteric fistulae are vanishingly rare. We encountered a 75-year-old male patient suffering from abdominal pain, hematochezia, hematemesis, and hypotension. His computed tomography images showed abdominal aortic aneurysm and suspected aortoenteric fistulae. During surgery, we found two primary aortoenteric fistulae. The one fistula was detected between the abdominal aorta and the third portion of the duodenum, and the other fistula was detected between the abdominal aorta and the sigmoid colon. We conducted the closure of the fistulae, the exclusion of the aneurysm, and axillo-bifemoral bypass with a polytetrafluoroethylene graft. The patient was discharged with no complications on the 21st postoperative day.

Meckel diverticulum (MD) is one of the most common congenital gastrointestinal anomalies and occurs in 1.2-2% of the general population. MD usually presents with massive painless rectal bleeding, intestinal obstruction or inflammation in children and adults. Suppurative Meckel diverticulitis is uncommon in children. An experience is described of a 3-year-old girl with suppurative inflammation in a tip of MD. She complained of acute colicky abdominal pain, vomiting and periumbilical erythema. Laparoscopic surgery found a relatively long MD with necrotic and fluid-filled cystic end, which was attatched to abdominal wall caused by inflammation. Herein, we report an interesting and unusual case of a suppurative Meckel diverticulitis presenting as periumbilical cellulitis in a child. Because of its varied presentations, MD might always be considered as one of the differential diagonosis.
