Methods : A patient was treated with Hominis Placenta, bee venom herbal acupuncture, simple acupuncture, chiropractic therapy, and herbal medicine. We evaluated the improvement by visual analogue scale(VAS) score, mouth opening range, and X-ray image. Results : The VAS score was significantly decreased and mouth opening range was increased after treatment. X-ray image showed improved change after treatments. Conclusions : We think Hominis Placenta and bee venom herbal acupuncture treatment mainly contributed to the improvement of temporomandibular disorders. Further study is needed for the confirmation of this effect of on temporomandibular disorders.

본 연구에서는 봉독의 처리에 따른 A549 폐암세포의 증식억제에서 $PGE_2$ 생성 및 telomerase 활성의 변화 관련성을 조사하였다. A549 세포의 증식은 봉독 처리에 의하여 유의적으로 감소되었으며, 이는 apoptosis 유발과 연관성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 봉독 처리 농도의 증가에 따라 COX-2의 발현이 전사 및 번역 수준에서 모두 감소되었으며 이에 따른 $PGE_2$의 생성이 현저하게 감소되었으나, COX-1의 발현에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 또한 봉독 처리에 따라 telomere 조절인자들 중, hTERT, hTR 및 c-myc의 발현이 억제되었으며, telomerase의 활성도 매우 감소되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 $PGE_2$ 생성과 telomerase 활성 저하가 봉독의 항암 작용 표적인자로서 작용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

관절염에 대한 스테로이드의 관절강내 주사는 전신적인 부작용 등의 위험성이 적으면서 간편하고 경제적이며 비교적 양호한 항염효과를 얻을 수 있어 단일관절의 RA 또는 퇴행성 관절염에서 활액막의 염증증상이 있을 때 또는 보존적 치료에 반응하지 않는 경우 비교적 많이 사용된다. 하지만 이러한 스테로이드요법은 여러가지 만성 질환에서 과도한 염증이나 면역반응 자체를 치료하는 것이 아니라 부수되는 이차적 증상만을 완화시켜 주기 때문에 장기간의 스테로이드제 투여는 절병의 경과를 교정 하거나 변화시키지 못하고 예후에 악영향을 미칠 수도 있다. 또한 심각한 여러 부작용들을 야기할 수도 있다. 저자는 스테로이드 관절강내 주사에 호전되지 않은 부종과 통증을 주소로 하는 슬관절염 환자에 대해, 피하 봉독요법으로 양호한 효과를 얻었으며, 또한 기존에 알려져 있는 것처럼 당뇨병환자에게서 봉독요법이 혈당치를 지속적으로 높인다는 주장에 대해 다른 결과를 경험하였으므로 문헌조사와 함께 보고하는 바이다.

6년령의 중성화한 수컷 시츄견이 좌측 안면마비를 주증으로 내원하였다. 환자는 신경검사에서 좌측 안면의 신경반사 소실 및 MRI 검사에서 두개강내 지주막낭종이 확인되었다. 환자는 안면신경마비를 유발할 수 있는 다른 기저질환을 감별하고, 또 스테로이드와 이뇨제를 이용한 치료에 대한 반응은 미약하였기에 특발성 안면신경마비로 잠정진단 하였다. 봉독 약침을 이용한 침술치료를 진행 후, 환축의 임상증상은 단계적으로 호전되었으며 치료 8주 후에는 신경반응이 거의 정상적으로 회복되었다. 본 증례는 특발성 안면마비 환축에서 봉독 약침을 이용한 치료 증례 보고이다.

Objectives: Bee venom (BV) therapy is performed by a bee sting or subcutaneous injection of BV. However, there is not much information on the effect of BV on blood parameters after entering the body. This project aimed to assess the side effects of subcutaneous BV injections in healthy rats by measuring the hematological and biochemical parameters. Methods: Various amounts of BV, including 100, 200, and 500 (㎍/day), were subcutaneously injected into rats for 30 days. The results showed that BV affected the metabolism of the liver, kidney, and glands. Results: An increase in blood sugar and a decrease in other biochemical parameters, including cholesterol, triglyceride, urea, creatinine AST, ALT, ALP, and phosphorous, were observed. Results also showed increased counts of white blood cells, neutrophils (%), and platelets and decreased levels of red cells, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that BV therapy in medical clinics requires routine care and testing to prevent eventual metabolic and anemia side effects.

Objective : This study was designed to evaluate the effect of bee venom pharmacopuncture therapy in patients with FBSS(failed back surgery syndrome). Methods : We investigated 30 cases of patients with FBSS, who had been treated from October 2010 to July 2011. We divided patients into two groups : group I was treated by acupuncture therapy only, and group II was treated by bee venom pharmacopuncture therapy and general acupuncture. We measured the efficacy of treatments using the numerical rating scale(NRS) and grade and straight leg raising(SLR) test. Results : 1. The treatment method for group II was more effective than that of group I in reducing the NRS score on the fifteenth day after admission but there was no statistically significant difference between the results of two groups on the fifth day after admission and the tenth day after admission. 2. The treatment method for group II was more effective than that of group I in NRS improvement rate from its admission day to the fifth day after admission and from the tenth day after admission to the fifteenth day after admission but there was no statistically significant difference between the performance of two groups from the fifth day after admission to the tenth day after admission. 3. Group II had a higher grade improvement rate from the seventh day after admission to the fifteenth day after admission than group I but no statistically significant difference was observed between the results of two groups from its admission day to the seventh day after admission. 4. In SLR test improvement rate the treatments applied to group II was more effective than those applied to group I. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that bee venom pharmacopuncture therapy is effective in reducing pain for patients with FBSS. Further clinical research is needed to verify these results and findings.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of HWANGRYUNHAEDOKTANG Pharmacopuncture and Essential Bee Venom pharmacopuncture on cervical pain caused by traffic accident. Methods The clincal study was conducted to traffic accident patients who had admitted to Dae-Jeon University Cheonan Oriental Hospital from May 17, 2014 to September 2, 2014. The patients were simple randomization and divided into two groups. In one group, patients were treated with the oriental medicine and HWANGRYUNHAEDOKTANG Pharmacopuncture, While in the other group, patients were treated with the oriental medicine therapy and Essential Bee Venom pharmacopuncture therapy. visual analogue scale (VAS), pain threshold and neck disablity index (NDI) were used To estimate the efficacy of Pharmacopuncture treatment. Results 1) HWANGRYUNHAEDOKTANG Pharmacopuncture Group showed significant decrease of VAS and NDI after 3rd times treatment than before treatment (p<0.001). Essential Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture showed significant decrease of VAS, NDI and improve ment of pain threshold after 3rd times treatment than before treatment (p<0.01, p<0.001). 2) There was no significant difference between HWANGRYUNHAEDOKTANG Pharmacopuncture group and Essential Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture group in VAS, pain threshold and NDI. Conclusions We found out that HWANGRYUNHAEDOKTANG Pharmacopuncture and Essential Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture treatment are considered to be effective and useful in cervical pain caused by traffic accident.
