Methods : All the male Sprague Daeley mice used in this study were bred and maintained in our pathogen-free mouse colony and were 8 weeks of age at the start of the experiment. The experimental model of arthritis was induced by injection of $50{\mu}g/{\mu}{\ell}$ adjuvant(mineral oil mixed Mycobacterium butyricum). Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution (BRHS) was injected into $ST_{36}$(足三理) of mice daily for 21 days. Immunohistological analysis was carried out to assess paw edema, IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-8, PNF-${\alpha}$ and $PGE_2$expression in synovial membrance and sera Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution(BRHS) injected. Results : At day 21 post arthritis onset, immunohistological studies using monoclonal antibodies showed that Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution (BRHS) group had decreased expression of IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, IL-8, PNF-${\alpha}$ and $PGE_2$ at inflamatory cytokines production and edema compared with control group. Conclusion : Bupleuri Radix Herbal-acupuncture solution (BRHS) inhibited infammatory cytokines production and edema in adjuvant induced arthritic mice. Thus, Herbal-acupuncture solution may have prevention.

  • This report presents examples of the use of Korean medicine to treat diarrhea after colon hemicolectomy. The patient was a male in his 80s who had undergone hemicolectomy 3 years previously for colon cancer. He complained of diarrhea and fecal incontinence and had attempted suicide. He was admitted to the internal medicine ward through the emergency room. Treatment did not improve his diarrhea, even with the use of antidiarrheal drugs, so he was transferred to the Korean Medicine Hospital, where he received daily acupuncture and medicine treatment. After Korean medicine treatment, his symptoms improved rapidly and his fecal incontinence stopped after one week of hospitalization. Two weeks after hospitalization, his stool had improved to normal stool, his hypotonia had also improved, and he was discharged. This report shows that Korean medicine treatment can be effective in treating patients with diarrhea. In the future, related cases will need to be accumulated.
