Objective: This case report describes the treatment of hemoptysis in a bronchiectasis patient with Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang. Methods: The hemoptysis in this patient was suspected to result from bronchiectasis, which was diagnosed with a chest CT at another hospital. She was treated with a herbal medicine, Hyunggaeyungyo-tang, plus Gamijihwang-tang. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated by measuring the amount of hemoptysis and by a visual analogue scale (VAS) to determine the patient's quality of life. Results: After administration of Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang, the severity of hemoptysis decreased, based on the amount of hemoptysis and the VAS scores. Conclusions: Hyunggaeyungyo-tang plus Gamijihwang-tang is a potent therapeutic agent for the treatment of hemoptysis.

Background and Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects of Hyunggaeyungyo-tang(HYT) on RAW 264.7 cells. Material and Methods : Two types of experiments were implemented for this study: first, the experiment to study the anti-oxidant effect of HYT using riboflavin; second, in vitro experiment to investigate the suppression of NF-${\kappa}$B activation using RAW 264.7 cells (I${\kappa}$B kinase and induce nitric oxide synthase mRNA expression) Results : 1. The anti-oxidant effects of HYT was dose-dependantly increased. 2. The RAW 264.7cells were treated with LPS for 1 hours prior to the addition of indicated concentrations(0.4,-1.0mg/$m\ell$) of HYT, and the cells were further incubated for 24 hours. The LPS-induced IKK & iNOS mRNA expression were dose-dependantly decreased in HYT treated RAW 264.7cells. Conclusion : The results suggest that HYT is significantly effective in the treatment of inflammation through the suppression of NF-${\kappa}$B activation and iNOS production.

Objectives: The purpose of this case study was to report the clinical improvement of Long COVID(cough, sore throat) treated with Korean herbal medicine(Hyunggaeyungyo-tang and Saengmaek-san). Methods: To assess the treatment outcomes, I used the Visual analogue scale(VAS) to evaluate sore throat degree, and Leicester Cough Questionnaire Korean version(LCQ-K). Results: After treatments, cough and sore throat were significantly improved with VAS and LCQ-K. Conclusion: The Korean herbal medicine was effective in the treatment of patient who suffers Long COVID. This study suggested the possibility of Korean herbal medicine treatment for Long COVID.

Background and Objectives : Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common diseases in the otorhinolaryngology area. in oriental clinic, Hyunggaeyungyo-tang(HYT) has been used as a primary prescription to treat allergic rhinitis. However, there have been no studies so far performed on the effect of this HYT use. The purpose of this study was find out therapeutic effects of its exclusive use on the rat with allergic rhinitis. Material and Methods : Thirty BALB/c mice were divided into three group : normal group(NOR), control group(CON) inoculated with allergic rhinitis and sample group(SAM) treated with the HYT extract after it was treated the same as the control group. Rats were sensitized intraperitoneally with ovalbumin solution 4times at intervals of 2 days. After that time, rats in SAM were administered by HYT to treat the inflammation. Results : 1. The number of eosinophil in SAM noticeably decreased than CON and this decrease had probability. The inhibition of eosinophil distribution. The infiltration of eosinophil in SAM noticeably decreased than CON. 2. The damaged mucosa as disruption of cilia in respiratory cell, vacant mucose secreting cell and infiltration of inflammation intricate cells in CON were increased than NOR, but SAM same as normal configuration. Decrease of icthing and sneezing intricate neurotransmitter (substance P). Decrease of angiogenesis intricate cytokine(MIP-2). 3. Transcription factor(NF-${\kappa}B$ p65) was decreased. 4. Transcription factor inhibitor(p-$I{\kappa}B$) was decreased. 5. Inflammation cytokine(iNOS) was decreased. Conclusion : The results suggest that HYT is significantly effective in the treatment of inflammation caused by allergic rhinitis through the suppression of NF-${\kappa}B$ activation and iNOS production.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report the case of an olfactory disorder in two patients combined by intranasal acupuncture treatment. Methods The authors mainly performed infrared irradiation while acupuncturing nasal and bilateral Yeonghyang-hyeol (迎香穴, LI20) in two patients with olfactory disorder. In addition, nasal lasers were irradiated for 5 minutes, these help to communicate meridians and control chi-shue (氣-血). Depending on the sub-symptoms of each patient, we were acupuncturing Indang-hyeol (印堂穴) or herbal medicine treatment which is Hyunggaeyungyo-tang (荊芥蓮翹湯), Bangpungtongsungsan (防風通聖散), Gamiygin-tang (加味二陳湯) was also performed. Results The patient's nasal symptoms were alleviated by intranasal acupuncture treatment. Conclusions There are no clinical studies in regards to acupuncture treatment in olfactory disorder so far. However, this study demonstrated positive health outcomes on olfactory disorder from intranasal acupuncture treatment.
