  • Purpose : The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects and adverse side-effects of growth hormone (GH) therapy in children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Methods : Forty-one patients who had been treated with GH for more than two years (24 boys and 17 girls, mean age $7.3{\pm}3.3$ years during treatment initiation) were enrolled for this study. Results : After 2 years of GH therapy, the height and weight standard deviation scores (SDS) increased significantly ($-1.19{\pm}1.37$ vs. $-0.02{\pm}1.45$, and $1.02{\pm}2.42$ vs. $1.63{\pm}2.22$, P<0.002); however the percentage body fat decreased ($44.6{\pm}9.9%$ vs. $38.1{\pm}10.5%$, P<0.001). Further, no change was observed in the thyroid and serum glucose levels, but the total cholesterol level decreased. GH therapy did not impact glucose control in the patients with diabetes. The most common adverse effects of GH therapy were the progression of scoliosis and adenoid hypertrophy. Conclusion : GH therapy improved the height SDS and body composition in patients with PWS. However, GH should be used with caution in patients with scoliosis and adenoid hypertrophy.

  • Background : Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the most frequent cause of death due to cancer in men, and its incidence among women is rapidly increasing. Although there has been a recent surge of interest in combined modality therapy for stageIII non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), the optimal treatment is still not well established. Thoracic irradiation has long been the gold standard for locally advanced unresectable NSCLC. However, although conventional radiotherapy(XRT) can palliate symptom and improve local control of disease, it has at most only a modest effect on survival. Recently, cisplatin(cis-diamminedichloroplatinum) has been reported to enhance the cell-killing effect of radiation For patients with unresectable NSCLC, cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy(CCRT) had the advantage of therapeutic response over XRT alone and therapeutic side effect more commonly occurred in CCRT group in EORTC(European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) and other trials. Objectives : We compared therapeutic response, compliance, and side effects between CCRT and XRT in patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients and Method : Thirty patients with biopsy-proven inoperable NSCLC were randomized to one of two treatment arms. Arm A consisted of XRT, radiotherapy for 4~6 weeks(1.8 Gy given 20~33 times, in five fractions a week), and arm B consisted of CCRT, radiotherapy for 2 weeks(3 Gy given to times, in five fractions a week), followed by 3 week rest period and then radiotherapy 2 more weeks(2.5 Gy given 10 times, in five fractions a week), combined with 6mg cisplatin per square meter, given daily before radiotherapy. We evaluate therapeutic response, compliance, change of performance status, side effects, and radiation pneumonitis by using the author's made scoring system. Results : There was no significant difference in therapeutic response and compliance. But there was a significantly lower laboratory complication and radiation pneumonitis in CCRT group (p < 0.05). There's significant negative correlation between stage and therapeutic response score in both groups(R=0.353, p < 0.05) In both groups, patients with squamous cell carcinoma had a tendency to higher therapeutic response score than those with adenocarcinoma. Conclusion : There was no difference between CCRT and XRT in respect to therapeutic response and compliance. But CCRT had a advantage of decreased side effects.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the rate of tumor response, local control, and treatment-related complications after hypofractionated radiotherapy for recurrent hepatocelluar carcinoma (HCC) less than 5 cm in size. Materials and Methods: Among the HCC patients who were treated by radiotherapy (RT) between 2006 and 2007 after the failure of previous treatment, a total of 12 patients were treated with hypofractionated RT. The criteria for hypofractionated RT was as follows: 1) HCC less than 5 cm, 2) HCC not adjacent to a critical organ, 3) HCC without portal vein tumor thrombosis, and 4) less than 15% of normal liver volume that irradiated 50% of the prescribed dose. Hypofractionated RT was performed with 50 Gy delivered in 10 fractions, at a rate of 5 fractions per week. The evaluation of tumor response was determined by CT scans performed at 3 months after the cessation of RT, followed by the evaluation of toxicity by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0. The median follow-up period after radiotherapy was 18 months. Results: A complete response (CR) was achieved in 5 of 12 lesions (41.7%) at CT performed at 3 months after the cessation, whereas the overall complete response was observed in 7 of 12 cases (58.3%). In-field local control rate was sustained in 83.3% of patients. All patients developed intra-hepatic metastases except for 2 patients. The overall survival rate was 90.0% at 1 year and 67.5% at 2 years, respectively. Three patients developed Grade 1 nausea during RT and 1 patient showed a progression of ascites after RT. There was no grade 3 or greater treatment-related toxicities. Conclusion: Hypofractionated RT for small-sized HCC as a salvage therapy showed a 58.3% CR rate and 83.3% of local control. Fifty Gy administered in 10 fractions of partial liver irradiation is considered as a tolerable dose that does not cause severe complications.

  • The use of drugs that reflect the experiences and achievements of modern science has given human being the benefits of treating diseases and improving health conditions. However, in addition to the benefits of those, medicines have inherently inevitable adverse reactions. Many countries are taking measures such as market entry regulations or post-marketing surveillance to minimize damage caused by drug side effects, but the occurrence of side effects cannot be eliminated. Although the damage is force majeure, in some cases, the doctor who prescribed the drug or the pharmacist who administered the drug may have to compensate for the damage. The liability depends on whether the side effects were known in advance, the type of medicine, etc. On the other hand, in some cases, drug manufacturer may have to take liability for the side effect itself. As it is not easy for victims to be compensated for damages in those cases, many countries, including Korea, are setting to protect victims through the Product Liability Act. Drugs are also one of the product, so liability set by the Product Liability Act may apply. Even before the enactment and enforcement of the Product Liability Act, damage caused by drug has occurred. To resolve them, precedents have developed case law, which have many similarities with the Product Liability Act, but also have differences. Damage caused by drug manufactured prior to the enforcement of the Product Liability Act may occur in the future. In this context, the legal principles of the case laws will remain valid and be applied. This is an important reason to review the case law of precedents.

  • 최근 수의학에서도 여러 항생제에 내성이 있는 세균 감염이 확인되면서 기존에 사용되었던 항생제에 의한 치료 반응이 떨어지고 새로운 항생제가 도입되고 있다. 그러나 항생제 내성을 가진 세균의 출현을 방지하고 항생제에 의한 부작용을 최소화하기 위해 적절한 항생제 사용은 필수적이다. 세균 배양과 항생제 감수성 검사를 기본으로 항생제에 있어서의 약동학(pharmacodynamics)과 약역학(pharmacokinetics)을 바탕으로 항생제 치료에 대해 보다 정확히 접근할 수 있다. 세균에 대한 최소억제농도(minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC)와 최고혈장약물농도(peak plasma drug concentration, C max)를 비교하는 것은 항생제 선택의 기준이 된다.또한 MIC가 C max에 가까울수록 효과적인 치료를 위해서는 가능한 높은 용량을 사용해야 함을 의미한다.

  • 동서양을 막론하고 최근들어 수의침술의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 지금까지의 입장을 고수하려는 서양의 학자(school medicine)들 중에서 종양의학에 관심을 갖는 것 뿐만아니라, 환축을 갖고 있는 사람들로부터 부작용이 심한 약물치료로 부터 벗어나 좀더 자연적인 방법으로 환축을 최소의 부작용을 유발할 수 있는 치료법을 찾으려는 노력의 댓가인 것이다. 본 내용에서는 침술의 근본이론인 동양철학의 의미를 다시 한번 상기시키고 1991-1994년 사이에 Berlin소재 본인 근무하던 대학병원과 개인병원에서 직접 치료했던 말과 소동물(애완견)을 증례별로 정리하였다. 도표(Table 1-5)에서 알 수 있듯이 아직도 그 작용기전이 밝혀지지는 않았지만 실제임상에서 침술이 차지하는 비중이 점점 증가하고 있다. 약물의 투입만을 고수하려는 우리의 수의임상과는 대조적으로 이러한 상황으로부터 탈피하려는 서양의 움직임이 오히려 최근에 들어서는 수의침술을 배우기 위하여 유럽이나 구미지역으로 유학을 떠나야 하는 실정으로 전도되어 버렸다. 본 내용에서는 자세하게 다루지는 못하였지마는 모든 환자들을 음양오행으로 분석을 하여 질환의 원인을 구명하고 진단, 치료하였다. 그렇기 때문에 임상학적으로나 전통적인 서양의학적으로는 같은 질병이라도 동양의학적으로는 환축의 성격이나 감정표현방식의 차이에 따라서 전혀 다른 진단과 치료방법을 선택하여야 하는 경우가 종종 나타난다. 이러한 동양의학의 질서를 이해할 수 없는 서양의학자들에게 침술을 단지 하나의 효과만으로 파고드는 것은 어려운 일이 아닐 수 없다. 이러한 상황을 보다 효과적으로 극복할 수 있는 길은 우리 스스로 동양철학을 보다 더 많이 이해하고 침술이론의 허실을 분석하여 체계적이며 이론적인 수의침술발전의 기여하여야 할 것이다. 그리고 수의침술의 생리적인 기전을 현대의학적인 관점에서 해석하고 증명하는 노력이 좀더 많이 기울어져야 할 것이다.
