62세 여자가 약 7-10일간의 발열과 심와부 복통 및 오한으로 내원하여 단순한 급성 담석성 담낭염으로 진단받고 적극적인 시술과 약물치료를 받았으나, 임상경과가 호전되지 않고 비장경색의 합병증이 동반되어 추가 시행한 검사에서 삼일열 말라리아로 확진 받았다. 이후 절제된 담낭의 염증 소견은 말라리아 관련 급성 담낭염 소견을 시사하였다. 따라서 단순 급성 담석성 담낭염이라 하더라도 임상양상이 통상적인 회복소견을 보이지 않을 경우 다른 전신 질환에 합병된 담낭염의 가능성을 적극 고려해 보아야 한다.

Judging from the studies carried out by Dr. Jo, Yong Jin on the Koreans' faces, Koreans divided into two constitutions according to their facial features and heritages. The one population is the Northern lineage whose ancestor migrated from Siberia in ice age. In order to survive in cold climate, they have developed a high level of metabolic heat production. Cold adaptation for preventing heat loss results in a reduction in the facial surface area with small eyes, nose and lips. The other population is the Southern lineage who is the descent of native in Korean peninsular. They have big eyes with double edged eyelids, broad nose and thick lips. It is generally believed that both genetic and environmetal factors influence eating behaviors. Although we can't recognized their heritage that may contribute to the metabolism and eating behavior, we commonly recognize their physiological heritage acceding to their facial features. In order to investigate the relationship among the size and shape of facial feature, the eating behavior, anthropometric measurement in female college students, the eating behaviors was measured during an instant-noodle lunch eaten in a laboratory setting at the ambient temperature of 23℃. The anterior surface area of left eye and length of right eye were positively correlated with the difference between the peak postprandial and the meal-start core temperature. The surface area of lower lip also negatively correlated with the meal-start core temperature and meal duration. In addition, the total lips' area was positively correlated with the difference between the peak postprandial and the meal-start core temperature and negatively correlated with the meal duration. However anthropometric measurements were not related with the size of facial features.
