Tuberculosis, one of the oldest diseases known to affect humans, is caused by bacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium luberculosis complex. The diseases usually affects the lungs, although in up to one-third of cases other organs are affected. If properly treated, tuberculosis caused by drug-susceptible strains is curable in virtually all cases. If untreated, the disease may be fatal within 5 years in more than half of cases. Transmission usually takes place through the airborne spread of droplets of nuclei produced by patients with infectious pulmonary tuberculosis. Two patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis and one with Tuberculous Meningitis were recently examined. The changes in these patient's symptoms through both western medical treatment and oriental medical treatment are reported.

We have surveyed the epidemiology of functional dyspepsia in 7 cases of Children and investigated the therapeutic effect on Functional Dyspepsia following 4 weeks medication of Naesowhajung-tang using Electrogastrogram. The Results were as followings: 1. Sex ratio are 6 males, 1 female; their mean ages, $9.0{\pm}1.41(7-11years)$; length, $137.2{\pm}13.86cm$; body weight, $35.3{\pm}l1.34kg$. 2. Most of subjects have a normal growth state. But one case have severe growth disturbance. Familial tendency for this disease is noted in 85.8%. 3. Abdominal pain was seen in 100% of subjects. The indicated symptom was lowed in order of abdominal pain(100%), nausea vomiting(71.43%), general fatigue(65.34%), vertigo headache(57.14%), belching(55.38%), etc. 4. The EGG finding after treatment was improved in 53%, aggrevated in 43. In cases, postprandial improvement was more remarkable than fasting improvement. Common cold and antibiotics seems to have functioned as an aggrevating factor on gastric motility. From the above results, Naesowhajung-tang seems to have been used in the treatment of functional dyspepsia for children.

목 적: H. pylori는 만성 위염의 중요한 원인균으로서 이에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었지만 이와 관련된 기능성 소화불량과의 관계나 위 운동에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 특히 소아에서 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구자들은 소아 및 청소년의 기능성 소화불량 환자에서 H. pylori 감염이 위전도 검사 결과에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 방 법: 2006년 8월부터 2008년 12월까지 복통을 주소로 가천의대 길병원과 인하대병원 소아청소년과에 소화불량을 주소로 내원한 소아 및 청소년 중 상부 위장관 내시경 검사와 함께 조직검사 혹은 요소호기 검사를 시행한 환아 중 기능성 소화불량 환자를 대상으로 위전도 검사를 시행하였다. 이 중 조직검사를 통해 만성 위염이 확인되고 만성 질환자를 제외한 63예를 대상으로 H. pylori 양성군과 음성군으로 나누어 위전도 검사 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: H. pylori 양성군은 25명(40%)이었으며 음성군은 38명(60%)이었다. H. pylori 양성군에서 음성군보다 식, 전후 정상리듬의 비율이 비교적 낮았다(80% vs. 65%, 80% vs. 68%). 또한 주 힘은 식후 검사상 H. pylori 양성군에서 유의하게 낮았으며(8.18${\pm}$22.36 dB, 32.20${\pm}$24.18 dB, p<0.01), 식후 주 힘의 변화(${\delta}P$)도 유의하게 적었다(-1.28${\pm}$6.18 vs. +4.62${\pm}$5.93, p<0.01). 그러나 다른 변수들은 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결 론: H. pylori 감염은 위의 운동에 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되며, 따라서 H. pylori 감염과 함께 위 운동 이상이 있을 경우 H. pylori 감염률이 낮은 지역에서는 H. pylori 제균 치료를 고려할 수도 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Background & Object: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of degree of fatigue and gastric motility, measured by EGG, with skin sympathetic tone or cardiovascular reactivity in patients with functional dyspepsia. Methods: Subjects were 56 patients with Functional dyspepsia and eight healthy people. Degree of fatigue was assessed by questionnaires consisting of subjective complaints of fatigue. Skin sympathetic tone was measured by Ryodoraku Score and Cardiovascular Reactivity was checked by Pulse diagnostic apparatus. Gastric motility was estimated by EGG. First, all patients were divided into two groups by Ryodoraku Score $40{\mu}A$(below and above). Second, they were subdivided into two groups by Cardiovascular Reactivity(decreased and increased or not decreased). Estimates were made on the extent differences of degree of fatigue or state of gastric motility in each group. Results: 1. Fatigue scores was significantly higher in females and in the Ryodoraku-Score-below-$40{\mu}A$ group. It was higher in the decreased cardiovascular reactivity group than the increased group, but to no significanct extent. Also, gastric motility was better in the Ryodoraku-Score-above-$40{\mu}A$, group than in the below group. Conclusions: These results suggest that degree of fatigue and gastric motility are associated with skin sympathetic tone, but not associated with cardiovascular reactivity, and that $40{\mu}A$ is a useful cutoff point in Ryodoraku Score for assessing degree of fatigue in functional dyspepsia patients.
