Although milky nipple discharge appears frequently in infants, bloody nipple discharge is a very rare finding. We experienced a 4-month-old, breast-fed infant who showed bilateral bloody nipple discharge with no signs of infection, engorgement, or hypertrophy. The infant's hormonal examination and coagulation tests were normal, and an ultrasound examination revealed mammary duct ectasia. The symptoms resolved spontaneously within 6 weeks without any specific treatment, except that we advised the mother to refrain from taking herbal medicine. Since no such case has been previously reported in Korea, we present this case with a brief review of the literature.

근래에 기도 협착의 발생빈도는 수술요법의 괄목할만한 진전과 Low pressure cuff가 개발된 후 현저히 감소하고 있으나 호흡부전으로 Ventilator를 사용하는 경우와 심한 상기도 감염이나 손상이 있을 때 또는 장기간 삽관을 함으로서 발생하는 기관 협착증은 아직도 이비인후과 영역에 있어서 난제라고 하겠다. 이러한 기도 협착증의 치료로는 기계적으로 확장을 하거나 협착 부위를 수술적으로 제거하고 조직을 이식하는 여러 방법들이 있어서 그적응증에 따라 각각 사용되어 오고 있으나 아직까지도 만족할만한 결과를 얻지 못하는 때가 많은 실정이다. 1959년 Lester가 우연히 늑골의 잔존 연골피막으로부터 신생 연골이 재생된 것을 발견한 이후 Skoog(1972), Sohn(1974), Ohlsen(1975)등은 동물 실험을 통하여 연골 피막으로 부터의 연골 재생에 관하여 다각적인 보고를 하였다. 임상적으로 이개, 비중격, 늑골 및 피부편등 여러 가지 다양한 조직들이 기관의 결손 또는 협착 부위의 재생에 사용되어 왔으나 기관의 정상적인 지지 조직의 연골이며 또한 연골피막이 연골의 재생을 가능케 한다는 점에 입각하여 기관의 재건에 연골피막의 사용가능성을 알아 보고저 다음의 실험을 하였다, 가토의 이개연골에서 연골피막을 취한후 인위적으로 만든 가토의 기관 결손부위에 이식한 다음 2주부터 8주경과 할때 까지의 재생 변화를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (결론) 1) 기관결손 부위의 재생은 대조군에서는 결손부위에 섬유질 및 혈관으로 구성되었으나 이식군에서는 비후된 연골피막과 섬유질로 구성되었다. 2) 점막의 재생은 대조군과 이식한군 모두에서 2주경과 표본부터 정상점막으로 완전히 재생 되었다. 3) 이식 부위의 변화를 보면 2주-모세혈관의 확장과 염증반응을 동반하며 섬유조직의 증식시작이 관찰되었다. 4주-점차 모세혈관의 확장이 감소하며 염증반응의 감소가 있으며 점막하층의 섬유조직의 증식이 있고 1개의 표본에서 연골피막내에 미숙연골 세포군이 존재. 6주-경도의 모세혈관의 확장과 만성염증반응이 존재하며 점막하층의 섬유조직화가 존재하였으며 2개의 표본에서 연골피막내에 연골 세포군 및 골화현상이 존재하였다. 8주-경미한 모세혈관의 확장이 존재하였으나 염증반응은 소실되었고 점막하층에 심한 섬유화를 동반하였다. 표본 2개에서 연골 피막내에 연골 세포군의 존재가 관찰되었다. 4 ) 이식방법을 달리한 경우에도 연골 및 점막의 재생에는 유의한 차이를 발견할 수 없었다. 5) 연골피막 이식부위에서 미숙연골 세포군과 endo-chondrial ossification을 관찰할 수 있었으나 대조군에서는 결손부위의 섬유화만이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼때 연골피막은 기관결손부위의 재진에 적합한 조직이라할 수 있었다. 그러나 40 례의 표본중 5례의 표본에서만 연골의 세포군을 관찰할 수 있어 이로 미루어 볼때 연골피막으로 부터 신생 연골이 재생된다 확인하기는 불충분하다고 생각되며 앞으로의 추시가 요망된다 하겠다.

Angioedema is a localized transient swelling of sudden onset in the face, lips, tongue, hand, feet, respiratory system and gasteointestinal system. Angioedema is classified as allergy, hereditary, idiopathic or induced by medication as like aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent, opiates, antibioics and angiotensin-coverting enzyme. Arisaematis Rhizoma Ingestion grows up every place in Korea, dries humidity and eliminates engorgement. so Arisaematis Rhizoma Ingestion was used to paralytic, hemiplegia, bell's palsy, tetanus. but Arisaematis Rhizoma Ingestion is toxic, can not be used pregnant women. We experienced a case of angioedema induced by Arisaematis Rhizoma Ingestion in a 52-years-old male patient who bited a Arisaematis Rhizoma Ingestion. We treated the patient based on traditional oriental medicine case report. As a result, the symtoms disappeard rapidly.

The general local cause of gingival bleeding is the vessel engorgement and erosion by odontogenic infection. Abnormal gingival bleeding is also associated with systemic causes. Bleeding disorders in which continuous gingival bleeding is encountered include the followings : vascular abnormalities, platelet disorders, hypoprothrombinemia and other coagulation defects. There are classic methods for gingival bleeding control, such as, direct pressure, electrocoagulation, suture, crushing and application of hemostatic agents. If the continuous gingival bleeding is not stopped in spite of the conventional methods, the life of patient is threatened owing to upper airway obstruction, syncope, vomiting and hypovolemic shock. Therefore, the rapid and correct hemostatic method is very important in the emergency condition. This is a case report of continuous gingival bleeding control by primary endodontic drainage & suture in a disabled patient with systemic bleeding disorders.

A 6-year-old female Boston terrier dog was presented with seizure episode, forelimb paraparesis, excessive panting, and ataxia. On physical and neurological examination, episcleral vessel engorgement, delayed postural reaction, delayed pupillary light reflex (both direct and consensual), and crossed forelimb were noted. Serum biochemical profiles were not remarkable other than mildly elevated hepatic enzymes. On cerebrospinal fluid analysis, elevated protein concentration was observed. In magnetic resonance imaging scans, the left frontal brain lesion with ring enhancement strongly suggested the presence of intracranial tumor. Concurrently, secondary hydrocephalus and syringomyelia were also observed. The dog was euthanized at 4 months after initial presentation because of aggravated neurological signs. This case was definitely diagnosed as an intracranial anaplastic oligodendroglioma based on postmortem histopathologic examination.

Purpose: To provide basic informations for guidelines of Ginseng usage during lactation. Method: Based on a regulation of scope and preparation of herbal prescriptions by Ministry of health and welfare of Korea, we selected the formulae for postpartum care and disease in 7 Korean Medical Classics. And we searched the number of formulae including Ginseng, dosage and indications of Ginseng in formulae in those books. Results: The range of Ginseng dosage during lactation from medical classics is 1.5-18.75g/day for medical purposes. Indications of Ginseng are lethargy, excessive bleeding, asthma, fever, cold, pain, dizziness, mental disorder, spasm, digestive problem, constipation, diarrhea, urinary incontinence, edema, breast engorgement, lack of breastmilk, breast ulcer, etc. But Ginseng had not been used in the case of stroke, epistaxis, beginning of mastitis, tumor of lower abdomen. Conclusions: Ginseng should be recommended less than 1.5g/d as a nutritional supplement. If breastfeeding woman wants to take Ginseng as a medication or as a tonic, she should consult with a official specialist about proper prescription and dosage instead of risky random medication.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to understand the hand-on breast massage techniques used by well-known experts in breastfeeding clinics. Methods: A qualitative multiple-case design was applied that involved a feasibility test. Four experts sampling qualitative data collected by observing participants and in individual interviews were analyzed by content analysis, linking data to the propositions, and cross-case pattern matching. This study explored differences within and between cases, and the possibilities of replicating findings across cases. Thirty-nine postpartum women participated voluntarily in the feasibility test, which investigated the usability of four massage techniques. Results: The four techniques showed considerable similarities in terms of the application of stimulation to the breast base and increased flexibility of the wired flexible body, which was the core mechanism underlying the techniques. The breast management strategies were consistent with existing practice guidelines with the exception of using cold cabbage to control engorgement pain. There was insufficient scientific evidence for supporting the massage techniques used by the experts. All of the techniques showed 100% education completeness, but application rates were higher for self-control-oriented techniques. Conclusion: The massage techniques applied by experts in breastfeeding were based on hypotheses and self-control techniques are feasible to apply in practice.

Intraorbital hemorrhage is a rare clinical condition caused by orbital trauma, surgery around the orbit, intraorbital vascular abnormalities, and neoplasm. It was reported to occur spontaneously without any known causes and in association with orbital pseudotumor in a very few cases. A 59-year-old, female patient admitted with sudden onset of severe exophthalmos and pain on the left eye. Orbital CT and MR imaging suggested hemorrhage in the upper part of retrobulbar area of the left orbit. Cerebral angiography was taken to rule out any possible vascular abnormalities. On the left carotid cerebral angiography, the run-off of the distal ophthalmic artery was not seen and the engorgement of the supraophthalmic artery was noted. Systemic administration of corticosteroid did not improve the clinical status and craniectomy was done and retrobulbar hematoma was removed, and the clinical symptoms and signs were improved. Authors report a case of spontaneous intraorbital hemorrhage with the clinical features similar to those of orbital pseudotumor, requiring surgical decompression.

Accidental high epidural block is a rare but serious complication. It can result from many factors, which include the volume and concentration of drug, posture, puncture site, age, pregnancy or intra-abdominal mass, and patients' height and weight. We had a case of accidental high epidural block recently. This is a case report which was confirmed by an epiduragram. A healthy 50-year-old woman with a huge uterine myoma was scheduled for a total abdominal hysterectomy under continous epidural analgesia. Epidural catheterization was carried out smoothly. However, an unexpected hypotension was noticed after an epidural injection of 2% lidocaine 25 ml. Thereafter, the patient was intubated and her respiration was controlled during the operation. Using the 5mg of ephedrine, her blood pressure and pulse were well maintained. The scheduled operation was carried out for one hour uneventfully, but after the operation, she felt paresthesia on her hands in the recovery room. To differentiate between the high epidural and the subdural blocks. We injected 5 ml of a water soluble Niopam 300 through the catheter postoperatively. It was observed on the epiduragram that the catheter was placed in the epidural space. It was suggested that the high epidural block was induced from the widespread diffusion through the narrowed epidural space due to the engorgement of the epidural venous plexus by the patient's huge uterine myoma.
