Objectives : The purpose of this study is to research trends in the study of diabetes mellitus and to establish the future direction for its study. Methods : We reviewed oriental medicine papers published in the last twenty-three years(1980-2002). Results : 1. We researched 94 papers in 14 journals and the patterns of study were as follows: experimental studies were 53 (56.3%), reviewed studies were 20 (21.2%), clinical studies were 12 (12.7%) and case reports were 9 (9.8%). 2. The experimental studies (53) were divided into papers on efficiency testing of herbal medications (40) and acupuncture & moxibustion (13). 3. The reviewed studies showed that research has been carried out in the fields of cause, pathogenesis, principles for treating disease, acupuncture and moxibustion, herbal medication, exercise, and relation of sasang (사상) to diabetes mellitus. 4. The clinical studies showed that the research was carried out in the fields of follow up surveys for herbal medication efficiency testing, the relativity of diabetes mellitus to other diseases and sasang (사상). 5. In consequence of researching the case reports, there was no common prescription used meaningfully. Conclusions : We need more studies of diabetes mellitus by reaching for specific therapy.

Background: The purpose of this study was to report the improvement of a patient with one-and-a-half syndrome, vertigo, and paresthesia caused by acute primary pontine hemorrhage (PPH) after a combination treatment of traditional Korean and Western medicine. Case report: A 51-year-old female with one-and-a-half syndrome, vertigo, and paresthesia after PPH was treated with Korean medicine, including herbal medication, acupuncture, and moxibustion, and Western medicine, including medication and rehabilitation therapy during hospitalization. Her progress was evaluated by checking for changes in symptoms with the extraocular muscle (EOM) function test, numeral rating scale (NRS), and follow-up brain computed tomography scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After 41 days of treatment, the EOM movement was improved, leaving limited abduction of the left eye. The NRS scores for vertigo and paresthesia decreased from 10 to 5 and from 10 to 3, respectively. Improvement was noted in hematoma in MRI, but a new ischemic lesion was also discovered. Conclusion: This case reports the clinical course of one-and-a-half syndrome and suggests that a combined therapy of traditional Korean and Western medicine can be useful for PPH patients with one-and-a-half syndrome, vertigo, and paresthesia. However, studies of larger populations are required.

Background: Arrhythmia due to QT prolongation is one of the most serious adverse events with drug interactions in the elderly. This study aimed to examine the incidence of arrhythmia in Korean elderly patients who administered both cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) substrates and inhibitors. Methods: Patients using CYP3A4 substrate and inhibitor were selected from the 2017 elderly patient dataset (the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service - Aged Population Sample). Selection criteria were patients with a medication possession ratio over 80%, medication duration of at least 7 days, and a follow-up period of 3 months or more. The patient's basic information is age, gender, health insurance type, and comorbidities. The top 50 drug pairs and comorbidity with high-incidence arrhythmia were presented. Results: In patients with drug combinations for over 7 days, there were 981 incidences of arrhythmia, and 351 incidences in those with combinations for over 30 days. The comorbidities of congestive heart failure and myocardial infarction had a significant association with incidence of arrhythmia. Among patients with 7 days or longer, the drug pairs [substrates-inhibitors] with significant adjusted odds ratio (aOR) were [propranolol-cimetidine] (aOR, 2.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.66-3.04). Among patients with 30 days or longer, the drug pairs with significant aOR were [tramadol-amiodarone] (aOR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.97-4.19). Conclusions: In elderly patients, the incidence of arrhythmia was high with drug interactions of CYP3A4 substrates and inhibitors. The comorbidity of congestive heart failure was the risk factor.

연구배경 : 약물복용에 관한 엄격한 규제가 없는 국내 의료현실상, 각종 건강에 관련된 약물이 범람하고 있어 약물 오 남용에 따른 심각한 약물부작용의 발생 가능성이 클 것으로 추정된다. 이에 건강한 성인 남성에서 영양제, 한약을 포함한 자가약물복용에 따라 간 기능 장애를 유발하는지를 코호트 내 환자-대조군 연구로 알아보았다. 방법 : ' 서울코호트' 대상자 중 (1)1990년도 정기 건강검진의 혈청결과상 HBsAg이 음성이면서 AST, ALT 모두 40 IU/L 이하인 대상자 (2) 1990년도 입원진료청구 전산자료상 간질환을 포함한 각종 질병으로 수진받은 적이 없는 자 (3)설문서 응답내용상 1991년 한해 동안 각종 질병이 발생되어 해당 약물을 복용한 적이 없는 자 (4)1992년도 정기 건강검진상 종합소견이 정상이면서 혈청검사상 HBsAg 음성인 자로 국한하여 본 연구를 위한 새로운 코호트를 구축하였다. 2년간의 추적조사 결과 1992년도 검사치상 AST/ALT 모두 40 IU/L 이상이면서 1990년도 AST/ALT에 비하여 100%이상 상승한 경우를 '간효소치 상승군(case group)'으로 정하였고, 반대로 1992년도 검사치상 AST/ALT 모두 40 IU/L 미만이면서 1990년도 ALT/ALT 에 비하여 상승 정도가 100% 미만인 경우를 '대조군(control group)'으로 하여, 약물복용과의 관련성을 카이자승법과 로지스틱 회귀법으로 알아보았다. 결과 : '간기능치 상승군(n=30)'은 대조군(n=2,625)' 에 비하여 44세 이하가 많았고, 경제수준이 높았으며 보다 비만하였으나 교육수준, 직업, 가족력, 수술력, 방사선 촬영력, 침구이용력, 흡연 및 음주습관에서 차이가 없었다. 약물복용에 있어서는 간장제와 한약복용은 차이가 없었으나, 스쿠알렌, 알로에 등의 건강보조식품 복용력은 '간기능치 상승군'에서 유의하게 많았다. 단변수 분석에서 유의성을 보인 변수들을 보정하여 보았을 때도 건강보조식품 복용력은 여전히 통계적 유의성을 잃지 않았다. 결론 : 본 연구결과는 건강인이라 하더라도 '건강보조식품'의 임의 복용은 간기능 장애를 유발할 가능성이 있다고 보아진다. 따라서 현재 '건강보조식품'의 사용이 급증하는 추세 속에서 치료제가 아닌 보조식품으로써의 '건강보조식품'이라 하더라도 장기간 임의 복용에 따라 어떤 부작용이 얼마나 발생할 것인지에 대한 연구가 향후 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

A unhealthy 58-year-old male patient required extraction of left upper second molar due to advanced periodontitis. Lidocaine contained 1 : 100000 epinephrine for left posterior superior alveolar nerve block was administered in the mucobuccal fold above the second molar to be treated at the local private dental clinic. After four hours of posterior superior alveolar block anesthesia, patient feeled double vision and discomfort of eyeball movement. At next day, he complained difficulty of left eyeball movement, vertigo and diplopia. He was referred to our department via local clinic and department of ophthalomology of our hospital. He was treated by medication and eyeball exercise, and then follow up check. The double vision and medial rectus muscle palsy disappeared patially after 2 months of block anesthesia. We described herein an ocular complication of diplopia and inferior rectus muscle palsy after posterior superior alveolar nerve block for extraction of left upper second molar, and review the cause or origin of this case. The autonomic nervous system is presented as the logical basis for the untoward systems of ophthalmologic sign likely to diplopia and inferior rectus muscle palsy, rather then simple circulation of anesthetic solution in the vascular network.

Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (LCAH) is the severe form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and is characterized by adrenal insufficiency with hyperpigmentation and female external genitalia irrespective of genetic sex. The steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) is required for the transport of cholesterol into the mitochondria for steroidogenesis, and defects in the StAR gene account for the majority of LCAH cases. In this report, we present a two-day-old hyperpigmented infant with phenotypical female genitalia. With consideration of the clinical and laboratory findings, the infant was suspected of having adrenal insufficiency due to LCAH and treated with glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, and sodium chloride. Karyotyping revealed 46, XY. Upon pelvis ultrasonography, adrenal hyperplasia with abdominal masses (thought to be the testicles) was reported. Molecular analysis with targeted exome sequencing revealed the homozygote mutation of c.772C>T ($p.Q258^*$) in exon 7 of the StAR gene. The early detection and treatment of adrenal insufficiency in infants with hyperpigmentation can prevent clinically apparent adrenal crises. During follow-up, the patient had a good clinical condition and maintained normal electrolyte and adrenocorticotropic hormone levels with medication.

Tetralogy of Fallot was repaired by a transatrial-transpulmonary approach in 91 of 250 patients treated surgically [including redo operations] between April 1986 and December 1989. Their age ranged from 6 months to 14 years [mean 39.7 months]. Associated cardiovascular anomalies were right aortic arch [n=22], ASD [n=12], PDA [n=5], persistent left SVC [n=5], and others [n=6]. PA index was measured pre-operatively since 1987 to estimate pulmonary artery size and safe total correction[mean 289$\pm$110mm2/BSA]. Eight patients received previous shunt take down procedure concomitantly. Pulmonary arteriotomy was extended through small pulmonary annulus to a minimal distance upon the right ventricular infundibulum and transannular patch was applied in 38 patients [41.3%], in 31 of them monocuspid patch was utilized. pRV/LV was measured at operation room in 77 patients [mean 0.58$\pm$0.36]. Operative mortality was 6.6% [6/91]. The causes of death were low cardiac output [n=5], arrhythmia[n=1] and respiratory failure [n=1]. At follow-up between 12 months and 57 months [mean 30.8 months] most patients were in New York Heart Association class I without cardiac medication. There was no late death, but reoperations were required in 3 patients to relieve residual right ventricular outflow obstruction. Thus successful repair of tetralogy of Fallot can be accomplished in most patients including infants by transatrial-transpulmonary approach and the better result can be anticipated with respect to postoperative right ventricular function and arrhythmia than the conventional transventricular approach.
