A 63-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with complaints of coldness in the head and right femur, persistent vertigo, dry mouth, vexation, general weakness, anorexia, and hot flashes. After being diagnosed with left-sided ductal carcinoma in 2017 and undergoing partial resection, she was recommended radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy, but she refused and did not receive any treatment. At a checkup in November 2022, the left-sided invasive ductal carcinoma recurred. She underwent partial resection and was scheduled to receive radiotherapy two months later. During hospitalization, the patient received traditional Korean medicine treatment, including Korean herbal medicine (Osuyubujaijung-tang), acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping. Subjective symptom changes were evaluated daily. At discharge, the patient's symptoms improved, and her condition varied with the presence of Aconitum carmichaelii. This study suggests that "Osuyubujaijung-tang" cared the coldness and vertigo caused by "Han-dam (寒痰)" in patients with Soeumin visceral syncope pattern (少陰人 臟厥症) and that A. carmichaelii played a major role in this outcome.

Although tinnitus is a common disease, it's reason, pathogenesis and treatment are not examined clearly. As tinnitus is a subjective complaint, it is not easy to evaluate objectively and to compare with another. In this study, we intend to estimate the effect of a variety of oriental medical treatments to tinnitus. We inquired about 30cases of tinnitus patients visited the Kwang-ju Oriental Medical Hospital of Wonkwang University from Apr. 1998 to Sep. 1998. We examined the 30cases in the view of sex, age, occupation, duration, etiologic factors, past history, associating symptoms, quality of tinnitus, and recovery rate after treatments. The results were as follows: 1. In distribution of sex, the ratio of male was $63.3\%$(19cases)and\;female\;was\;36.6\%$(11cases). 2.

15년령의 중성화한 퍼그견이 거위울음소리 같은 기침 때문에 내원 하였다. 본 환축은 임상증상과 방사선 검사를 이용하여 기관지허탈로 진단하였다. 환축의 치료를 위하여 폐수(BL13), 중부(LU01), 척택(LU05), 공최(LU06), 열결(LU07), 태연(LU09) 및 천돌(CV22)에 10일간 butorphanol 약침을 실시하였으며, BL13, LU01 및 CV22에 9일간 butorphanol 약침을 추가로 실시하였다. 본 환축은 소청용탕(小靑龍湯)을 7일간 투여 받았으며, 소자강기탕(蘇子降氣湯)을 12일간 추가로 투여 받았다. 치료 후 환축은 기침을 하지 않았으며, 기관치의 직경이 방사선 사진에서 치료전보다 증가해 있었다. 3개월 후 정기 진단 시 기침은 전혀 관찰되지 않았으며, 기관지의 직경은 치료 후보다 더욱 증가해있었다. 결론적으로 본 환축은 butorphanol의 약침과 한약제의 병행으로 양호한 치료반응을 나타낸 개 기관지허탈 증례이었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Korean medicine treatment on facial asymmetric treatment in 5 cases of facial asymmetry correction by non - surgical treatment such as acupucture, chuna treatment, FCST (Functional cerebrospinal technique) and cranial osteopathy. Methods: We analyzed the initial charts of 5 patients who had undergone facial asymmetry in a Korean medicine clinic and measured the position and distance using the photograph, lateral cephalograms, and whole body radiograms. The results were as follows. Results: To quantify both soft and hard tissues to confirm the results of Korean medicine treatment of facial asymmetry, soft tissues quantitatively measure the displacement of the face, the slope of the left and right eyes, and the slope of the lip in order to grasp the positional displacement of the mandible. As a result, on the average, the correction effect as measured by the angle difference between A and C is $1.8{\pm}0.57$, the correction effect as measured by the angle difference between B and C is $1.4{\pm}0.89$, and the angle difference between D and the horizontal plane is $1.9{\pm}0.89$, and the angle difference between E and the horizontal plane is $1.9{\pm}0.89$. The result of reduced angle difference between A and C means that the head position shifted from the center of the body to the unilateral side was shifted to the center. The decrease in the angle difference between B and C means the restoration of the maxillary distortion relative to the mandible. In hard tissues, numerical values were measured based on the skull standard. The average distortion of the skull was $1.9{\pm}0.67$, and the distortion of the lower eye was $1.4{\pm}0.41$. Conclusion: General studies on facial asymmetric treatment are limited to treatments such as surgery and orthodontics. However, this study confirmed the possibility that facial asymmetry could be corrected by Korean medical treatment consisting of reversible non-surgical treatment rather than irreversible treatment such as surgery or orthodontic treatment. In particular, Korean medicine treatment is effective for muscular asymmetry, soft asymmetry, functional asymmetry, etc. The facial asymmetric treatment of Korean medicine is not limited to the face-centered correction, but the asymmetry of the whole body may be corrected as well.

Objectives : The objective of this study is to report a case of a male atopic dermatitis patient accompanying seborrheic capitis and nummular eczema improved by Korean medicine therapy and lifestyle modification. Methods : A male patient was hospitalized for eczematous lesions in the head, face, and both hands which relapsed on March 2021. For 15 days, he took Korean medicine therapy including acupuncture, Bangpungtongseongsan-gagam, pharmacopuncture, and wet dressing with Hwangryunhaedok-tang. Simultaneously, lifestyle correction also conducted during administration. On the other hand, corticosteroid and antihistamine were prescribed from internal medicine of our hospital for the first 10 days because of severe skin lesions. As an outpatient, he was continuously treated by the same Korean medicine therapy except herbal decoction weekly for about 7 months after discharge. To assess symptoms, scoring atopic dermatitis(SCORAD) index, taking photos, and numerical rating scale(NRS) were used. Results : After 15 days of hospitalization, the SCORAD index decreased to 30.0, which was about a half of the initial SCORAD index(61.2). NRS score also dropped from 6 to 3. Despite stopping western medicine administration, skin lesions and subjective symptoms of the patient were steadily improved without aggravation. For 7 months of continued outpatient treatment, atopic dermatitis were steadily ameliorated despite temporary aggravation and improvement of symptoms, and seborrheic capitis was not relapsed. The final SCORAD index and NRS on November 9th, 2021 were 24.7 and 1, respectively. Conclusions : These results suggests that Korean medicine therapy contributes to improving SCORAD index, subjective symptoms, and skin lesions of the patient. Furthermore, lifestyle modification is also important as much as proper treatment for caring atopic dermatitis patients.

사람에서와 같이 개에서도 안면신경마비가 발생되지만, 특발성 원인에 의한 안면신경마비에 대한 유용한 서양의학적 치료 방법이 없는 실정이다. 따라서 개 안면신경마비에 대한 약침의 치료 효과를 알아보기 위하여 인공 유발된 개 안면신경마비에 대하여 약침의 효과를 실험하였다. 안면신경마비가 인공적으로 유발된 12두의 개는 대조군(4두), 덱사메타손 투여군(4두) 및 봉독 투여군(4두)로 나누어 공시하였다. 안면신경마비 유발 후 대조군은 식염수 1ml을 머리 근육에 일주일에 두 번 근육주사 하였다. 반면에 덱사메타손 투여군과 봉독 투여군은 합곡, 영향, 사백, 하관, 예풍, 권료, 상관 및 양릉천 혈위에 각각 덱사메타손과 봉독을 일주일에 두 번 약침하였다. 실험 기간 동안 안면신경마비에 대한 임상증상과 혈중 creatine kinase(CK) 활성의 변화를 각각 검토하였다. 임상증상은 치료 14일에 봉독 투여군과 덱사메타손 투여군이 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있는 저치를 보였으나 봉독 투여군과 덱사메타손 투여군 간에는 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 혈중 CK 활성의 변화는 치료 7일 및 14일에 봉독 투여군과 덱사메타손 투여군이 대조군에 비하여 유의성 있는 저치를 보였으나, 봉독 투여군과 덱사메타손 투여군 간에는 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 따라서 개 안면신경마비의 치료에 봉독과 덱사메타손 약침이 효과적이었으며, 그 효과는 유사한 것으로 판단되었다.
