  • Since atopic dermatitis requires continuous care, the role of a patient's parents is important. However, the majority of parents cause even more serious situations by limiting allergy-inducing foods too much, causing an imbalance in nutrition and decline in immunity. Therefore, educating parents systematically and repeatedly via personal computer or smart phone could help to prevent and manage atopic dermatitis. In this study, 126 recipes of 4 seasons were developed for the parents of atophy students by using food with least chemical additives. After developing these recipes, a blog named "Atop" meaning "atophy stop" was made with these recipes and cooking step photos. In this blog, the visitors who used these recipes showed improvement responses of atopic dermatitis management. The results of this study show that further nutrition education programs such as this blog should be developed continuously and an effective evaluation tool must be also developed for the further prevention and management of atopic dermatitis.

  • Foreign body aspiration can produce a medical emergency. Obstruction of the airways can be life-threatening, and complications may develop in less-severe cases if it is left untreated. Although it is more prevalent in children by approximately three times, adults can still experience it, and it is more frequently related to healthcare in adults. Objects used in dental treatment are usually placed in the oral cavity and can be ingested or inhaled by accident. Dental treatment has been identified as an important cause of the misplacement of foreign bodies in the airway. However, few reports have been published on dentistry-related foreign body aspiration. This paper discusses the disease course, management, and clinical outcomes of foreign body aspiration, especially those associated with dentistry. The patient must be examined for respiratory distress. If the patient is unstable, urgent airway management and the maneuvers for removal should be performed. Radiographs and computed tomography can help identify and locate the object. The treatment of choice is often bronchoscopy, and both flexible and rigid endoscopes can be used depending on the situation. Preventive measures need to be implemented to avoid inhalation accidents given the potential consequences. Though the incidence is rare, healthcare levels need to be enhanced to avert morbidity and mortality. Radiological evaluation and bronchoscopy are vital for management.

  • Purpose: Radiocontrast media are widely used in medical imaging to improve diagnostic accuracy. However, studies on the adverse reactions of radiocontrast media in children are limited. We aimed to describe the characteristics of adverse reactions to radiocontrast media among children who had a computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging in a tertiary university hospital. Methods: We retrospectively collected data on adverse reactions to radiocontrast media by the reporting system of a tertiary university hospital. We selected data from children under the age of 19 from July 2011 to December 2017 and analyzed their characteristics. We focused mainly on the characteristics of the index case which is defined by the first adverse event of each subject. Results: During the period, a total of 88,050 radiocontrast media-enhanced imaging studies were performed and 184 cases of adverse reactions were reported. A total of 71 were identified as index cases. Forty-nine (69.0%) were male and the mean age was $12.7{\pm}3.2$ years. The incidence of radiocontrast media-related adverse reactions was 0.09% and severe reactions were 0.002%. The most common clinical feature was skin manifestations (54.9%), followed by gastrointestinal symptoms (40.8%) and neuropsychiatric symptoms (7.4%). Conclusion: Adverse reactions to radiocontrast media rarely occur in children and the incidence of severe reactions is low. Most reactions are mild and are related to the skin and gastrointestinal system. This report would provide good evidence for establishing a management strategy in children scheduled for imaging studies using radiocontrast media.

  • 본 연구는 콜린성 두드러기를 치료하기 위해 기존 제품으로는 정제를 사용하였다. 정제의 단점으로는 졸음유발 문제나 접근성 및 투여량 감소 문제가 있었으며 이를 해결하기 위해 세티리진 염산염을 함유한 Hydro-Gel을 제조하였다. 실험 방법은 점도, 겔화율, 팽윤도, 함량 평가, 투과성을 측정하였다. 연구에 따르면 세티리진 염산염을 함유한 하이드로 겔은 콜린성 두드러기가 유발되지 않아 발생 부위에 직접 적용할 수 있다. 또한 이 제제는 기존 정제의 부작용을 최소화하여 제품 생산이 가능하리라 생각한다. 이 제제에 스테로이드와 같은 다른 주요 성분을 첨가함으로써 구강으로 투여하는 방식보다 피부를 통해 투여할 수 있는 장점이 있어 활용도가 높을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 단독으로 사용해도 효과가 있다고 판단되어 의약품 제조 공정을 진행할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • There is no well-stated practical guideline for mechanically ventilated patients with or without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We generate strong (1) and weak (2) grade of recommendations based on high (A), moderate (B) and low (C) grade in the quality of evidence. In patients with ARDS, we recommend low tidal volume ventilation (1A) and prone position if it is not contraindicated (1B) to reduce their mortality. However, we did not support high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (1B) and inhaled nitric oxide (1A) as a standard treatment. We also suggest high positive end-expiratory pressure (2B), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a rescue therapy (2C), and neuromuscular blockage for 48 hours after starting mechanical ventilation (2B). The application of recruitment maneuver may reduce mortality (2B), however, the use of systemic steroids cannot reduce mortality (2B). In mechanically ventilated patients, we recommend light sedation (1B) and low tidal volume even without ARDS (1B) and suggest lung protective ventilation strategy during the operation to lower the incidence of lung complications including ARDS (2B). Early tracheostomy in mechanically ventilated patients can be performed only in limited patients (2A). In conclusion, of 12 recommendations, nine were in the management of ARDS, and three for mechanically ventilated patients.

  • 규칙적인 운동이 면역력 증가에 도움을 주는 것이 일반적인 사실이지만 차고 건조한 환경에서의 격렬한 운동은 호흡기 질환의 일종인 운동 유발성 천식과 운동 유발성 알레르기 질환을 야기하고, 상기도 감염 등을 유발하기도 한다. 이는 수행되는 운동의 종류나 방법 등에 따라서 다르게 나타나며 운동 수행의 경험과 운동 환경 등에 따라서 상이하게 나타난다. 따라서 운동하는 환경이 야외에서 이루어지며 오존이나 먼지 등을 많이 접하면서 수행되는 운동과 동계 스포츠인 스키, 스노우보드, 스케이트 및 아이스하키와 같은 운동 수행으로 운동 시 폐가 차갑고 건조한 공기에 장시간 노출됨에 따라 운동 유발성 천식과 운동유발성 알레르기 반응이 초래된다. 이러한 반응은 음식 알레르기와도 함께 나타나는데, 음식 알레르기가 있는 사람은 운동 시 더욱 알레르기 반응이 증가하게 되고, 음식 알레르기가 나타나지 않은 사람도 특정 음식 섭취 후 격렬한 운동 시 운동 유발성 알레르기가 나타나기도 한다. 이는 일반적으로 소화된 음식물이 장으로 지나갈 때, 혈액의 IgA가 덜 소화된 단백질을 혈액으로 들어오는 것을 방어해 주지만, 결렬한 운동이나 스트레스 상황에서는 IgA가 감소하게 되고, 이러한 상황에서 음식 유발성 알레르기 질환이 나타나게 되는데, 운동 시 이러한 반응이 더욱 심화되며 운동 유발성 알레르기 아나플락시스로 나타나기도 한다. 운동 유발성 알레르기 질환은 운동의 방법, 종류 및 수행되는 운동시간 등에 따라 깊은 관련이 있으며, 임상적인 징후로는 심한 기침, 가슴의 답답함, 호흡 곤란, 쌕쌕거림의 현상, 피부두드러기 및 혈관부종, 심할 경우 혈관파괴 등의 현상이 나타나고, 돌연사의 원인이 되기도 한다. 격렬한 운동은 과 호흡을 유발시키고, 이로 인해 폐의 비만세포가 증가하게 되며, 증가된 비만세포에서 나오는 히스타민이 알레르기 반응을 유발한다. 운동 유발성 두드러기나 아나필락시스 진단에 있어 가장 중요한 사항은 가족력과 병력에 대한 사항이며, 이외에도 메타콜린 피부 반응검사 등이 있다. 치료는 일상생활에서 활동의 수준과 범위를 수정하는 하는 것이 핵심이며, 이를 위해서는 전문가를 통한 환자 교육이 매우 중요하며, 식후에는 시간을 두고 운동해야 한다. 그리고 운동전 알레르기를 유발하는 음식물의 섭취를 제한해야 한다. 본 연구자는 운동 알레르기와 관련된 인자를 크게 운동 시의 환경과 음식물로 구분하고, 여러 문헌을 고찰하여, 운동 시 일어날 수 있는 알레르기 반응을 미연에 방지하고, 운동을 수행하는 엘리트 운동선수 및 동호인, 운동을 지도하는 지도자, 스포츠 산업에 종사하는 사람들에게 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

  • Background: Although respiratory tract infection is one of the most important factors triggering acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AE-COPD), limited data are available to suggest an epidemiologic pattern of microbiology in South Korea. Methods: A multicenter observational study was conducted between January 2015 and December 2018 across 28 hospitals in South Korea. Adult patients with moderate-to-severe acute exacerbations of COPD were eligible to participate in the present study. The participants underwent all conventional tests to identify etiology of microbial pathogenesis. The primary outcome was the percentage of different microbiological pathogens causing AE-COPD. A comparative microbiological analysis of the patients with overlapping asthma-COPD (ACO) and pure COPD was performed. Results: We included 1,186 patients with AE-COPD. Patients with pure COPD constituted 87.9% and those with ACO accounted for 12.1%. Nearly half of the patients used an inhaled corticosteroid-containing regimen and one-fifth used systemic corticosteroids. Respiratory pathogens were found in 55.3% of all such patients. Bacteria and viruses were detected in 33% and 33.2%, respectively. Bacterial and viral coinfections were found in 10.9%. The most frequently detected bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.8%), and the most frequently detected virus was influenza A (10.4%). Multiple bacterial infections were more likely to appear in ACO than in pure COPD (8.3% vs. 3.6%, p=0.016). Conclusion: Distinct microbiological patterns were identified in patients with moderate-to-severe AE-COPD in South Korea. These findings may improve evidence-based management of patients with AE-COPD and represent the basis for further studies investigating infectious pathogens in patients with COPD.

  • Although recent advances in molecular targeted therapy and immuno-oncology have revolutionized the landscape of lung cancer therapeutics, cytotoxic chemotherapy remains an essential component of lung cancer treatment. Extensive evidence has demonstrated the clinical benefit of chemotherapy, either alone or in combination with other treatment modalities, on survival and quality of life of patients with early and advanced lung cancer. Combinational approaches with other classes of anti-neoplastic agents and new drug-delivery systems have revealed promising data and are areas of active investigation. Chemotherapy is recommended as a standard of care in patients that have progressed after tyrosine kinase inhibitors or immune checkpoint inhibitors. Chemotherapy remains the fundamental means of lung cancer management and keeps expanding its clinical implication. This review will discuss the current position and future role of chemotherapy, and specific consideration for its clinical application in the era of precision medicine.
