Along with development of modem medicine, the average life span has been increased but diseases of lifestyle such as cancer, obesity atheroscerosis, cardiac disorder become social issues. This study was designed to examine the availability of the functional food by adding chitosan-oligosaccharide to Korean traditional food, Soybean Dasik. For the study, 0, 30, 50 and $70\%$ of chitosan-oligosaccharide power that contains $23\%$ of chitosan-oligosaccharide were added to soybean Dasik in proportion to the total powder weight These were compared with the Soybean Dasik itself in relation to the physicochemical characteristics, sensory evaluation, and mechanical characteristics. The results of the research are as follows. Physicochemical characteristics showed that chitosan-oligosaccharide soybean Dasik had less ash, K, and Mn. As for the result of sensory evaluation, Dasik added $0\%$ chitosan-oligosaccharide was evaluated very good in its color. Sweetness and softness was good on $0\%\;30\%\;and\;50\%$ ones, while moistness and overall quality on $30\%\;and\;50\%$ ones. As the test results of mechanical characteristics, the chitosan-oligosaccharide soybean Dasik was good for hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and brittleness, especially on $0\%\;30\%\;and\;50\%$ ones. Springiness was good in all groups. In color, L value of chitosan-oligosaccharide soybean Dasik decreased but a and b values increased as the substitution percentage increased Therefore, the right amount of addition fit for the production properties was $30-50\%$ chitosan-oligosaccharide of total powder weight.

만성 염증성 장 질환에서 유발되는 드문 피부 병변인 괴저 농피증은 초기에는 홍반으로 둘러싸인 농포로 시작하지만 빠르게 주변부로 확장되고 염증이 진피 내로 파급 되면서 깊은 궤양이 생겨 피부 함몰을 일으킨다. 초기에 감염성 연부조직염 등으로 오인하여 절개 배농이나 강한 압박 배농을 하게 되면 이 질환의 이상초과민현상 때문에 병변이 악화되는 경향이 있다. 따라서 조기 진단과 습윤-비밀폐 드레싱으로 상처에 가하는 충격을 최소화하면서 상처 부위를 보존하고 2차 세균 감염을 예방하는 것이 초기 치료에 매우 중요하다. 저자들은 궤양성 대장염을 가진 15세 여자에서 발생한 괴저 농피증을 초기 에 압박 배농하여 병변이 빠르게 악화된 증례의 치료 경험을 보고하면서 조기 진단과 초기 치료 대응의 중요성을 강조하고자 한다.

Purpose: Gastric delta cells (D-cells), which are somatostatin-secreting cells, are the main paracrine inhibitor of acid secretion. The number of D-cells was studied in children presenting with upper gastrointestinal (UGI) disease. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the number of D-cells in the gastric body and antrum through immunofluorescence examinations according to symptoms, endoscopic findings, and Helicobacter pylori infection in 75 children who visited Hanyang University Hospital Pediatrics. Results: The mean patient age was 12.2±3.3 years. The male-to-female ratio was 1:1.4. The mean D-cell number per high-power field in the antrum and body was 20.5 and 12 in children with substernal pain, 18.3 and 10.3 in vomiting, 22.3 and 6 in diarrhea, and 9.3 and 6 in abdominal pain, respectively (p>0.05). According to endoscopic findings, the mean D-cell number in the antrum and body was 14.3 and 6 with gastritis, 14 and 9.3 with reflux esophagitis, 16.7 and 8.7 with duodeno-gastric reflux, 19.3 and 12.7 with gastric ulcer, 16 and 13.7 with duodenitis, and 12.3 and 4 with duodenal ulcer, respectively (p>0.05). The D-cell number in the gastric body was 2.7 and 8.7 in children with current H. pylori infection and non-infected children, respectively (p=0.01), while those in the antrum were 15.5 and 14, respectively, with no statistical significance. Conclusion: The D-cell number was lower in the gastric body of children with current H. pylori infection. Further studies concerning peptide-secreting cells with a control group would provide information about the pathogenic pathways of UGI disorder.

Purpose: To develop a probability-based differential diagnosis for pediatric acute liver failure (PALF) based on age and socioeconomic status of the country of origin. Methods: Comprehensive literature search using PubMed, EMBASE, and SCOPUS databases was performed. Children 0-22 years of age who met PALF registry criteria were included. Articles included >10 children, and could not be a case report, review article, or editorial. No language filter was utilized, but an English abstract was required. Etiology of PALF, age of child, and country of origin was extracted from included articles. Results: 32 full text articles were reviewed in detail; 2,982 children were included. The top diagnosis of PALF in developed countries was acetaminophen toxicity (9.24%; 95% CredI 7.99-10.6), whereas in developing countries it was Hepatitis A (28.9%; 95% CredI 26.3-31.7). In developed countries, the leading diagnosis of PALF in children aged <1 year was metabolic disorder (17.2%; 95% CredI 10.3-25.5), whereas in developing countries it was unspecified infection (39.3%; CredI 27.6-51.8). In developed countries, the leading diagnosis in children aged >1 year was Non-A-B-C Hepatitis (8.18%; CredI 5.28-11.7), whereas in developing countries it was Hepatitis A (32.4%; CredI 28.6-36.3). Conclusion: The leading causes of PALF in children aged 0-22 years differ depending on the age and developmental status of their country of origin, suggesting that these factors must be considered in the evaluation of children with PALF.

요석증은 비뇨기과에서 흔히 관찰되는 질환으로서 30∼50대에 많이 발생하고, 남자가 여자보다 발생빈도가 높고, 좌측보다는 우측이 많으며, 문화가 발달한 나라에서는 상부요로 결석이 많으나 후진국에서는 하부요로 결석이 많다. 결석성분은 수산칼슘, 인산칼슘, 인산마그네슘암모늄, 요산, 시스틴 결석과 그들의 혼합결석으로 분류된다. 병태 생리학에 따르면, 결석의 발생원인은 요중의 무기질 농도가 과포화 상태가 되면 결정체핵이 생성된다는 과포화/결정체설, 기질관여설, 억제물질의 결핍설, 에피택시설 등이 있고, 상피소체기능항진중, 과칼슘뇨증, 과요산뇨증, 과수산뇨증, 시스틴뇨증 외에도 원위세뇨관 산증, 과비타민 D증, 소화기계 질환이 통계적으로 유의성 있게 관여된다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 미란성 위염 환자 K43에서 화학분석법, 적외선 흡수 분석법, image analysis법을 사용하여 재발성 상부요로 결석성분을 분석한 결과 제2 수산칼슘과 인산칼슘의 혼합결석으로 확인되었고, 혈액화학 검사와 요 검사 등 임상검사 성적은 정상치를 유지하고 있었다. 따라서 K43의 재발성 요로결석은 보고된 생성원인이나 인자들에 대한 통계수치와는 연관성이 없었으며 미란성 위염으로부터 영향을 받았다는 증거도 없었다.

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with an increased risk of developing upper gastrointestinal tract diseases. However, treatment failure is a major cause of concern mainly due to possible recurrence of infection, the side effects, and resistance to antibiotics. The aim of this study was to investigate the activities of Centella asiatica leaf extract (CAE) against H. pylori both in vitro and in vivo. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against 55 clinically isolated strains of H. pylori were tested using an agar dilution method. The MICs of CAE ranged from 0.125 mg/mL to 8 mg/mL, effectiveness in inhibiting H. pylori growth was 2 mg/mL. The anti-H. pylori effects of CAE in vivo were also examined in H. pylori-infected C57BL/6 mice. CAE was orally administrated once daily for 3 weeks at doses of 50 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg. CAE at the 50 mg/kg dose significantly reduced H. pylori colonization in mice gastric mucosa. Our study provides novel insights into the therapeutic effects of CAE against H. pylori infection, and it suggests that CAE may be useful as an alternative therapy.
