Background: Turbinate hypertrophy is one of the common causes of chronic nasal obstruction. In principle, therapeutic guidelines recommend medical treatment. Failure to treat turbinate thickening despite drug therapy may indicate the need for surgery. The main aim of this study was to determine the effect of radiofrequency surgery, among various other surgical procedures, on people with both nasal septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy. Methods: Among people with nasal deviation who visited the subject hospital between July 2008 to July 2014, 21 people with nasal septal deviation and severe turbinate hypertrophy before their surgery had undergone septoplasty with turbinoplasty using radiofrequency combined with septoplasty. The degree of the turbinate's hypertrophy was appraised in all the patients before and after the surgery using the rhinoscopy, and acoustic rhinometry was objectively carried out. The subjective effect of the turbinoplasty using radiofrequency was explored through the visual analog scale (VAS) score. Results: The degree of contraction of the nasal mucosa after the rhinoscopy changed from Grades 3 and 4 (100%) to Grades 1 and 2 (95.2%) and Grades 3 (4.8%). The minimal cross-sectional area significantly increased from $0.44{\pm}0.07$ to $0.70{\pm}0.07cm^2$ (p<0.05). The nasal cavity volume increased from $4.79{\pm}0.49$ to $6.76{\pm}0.55cm^2$ (p<0.05). The subjective symptoms evaluated with VAS score a year after the surgery significantly improved (p<0.05). Conclusion: Turbinoplasty using Coblator with septoplasty is an effective treatment method because it expands nasal cavity, has a low incidence of complications, subjectively improves symptoms, and has short treatment duration.

Objective : We considered Astragali Radix(黃耆) can be used to cure serious atopic dermatitis. so we treated this patient with prescriptions contained Astragali Radix(黃耆). By this case, we got effective results and report this case and index of choice Astragali Radix(黃耆) Method : After treatment with prescription contained Astragali Radix(黃耆), we observe the changes and analyze results. Results : 1. Atopic dermatitis can be cured with Astragali Radix's efficiency on Sanghanron(傷寒論) 2. We considered Astragali Radix(黃耆) can be used when Chronic damage to the nasal mucosa is appeared by rhinoscopy and Sneezing, runny nose that lasts all year round is shown Conclusion : Gaeji-Ka-Hwangki-Tang(桂枝加黃耆湯) has most effect on this case. So, We need to study combination Astragali Radix(黃耆) with Glycyrrhizae Radix(甘草) and the efficacy of herbs belonged to leguminosae.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Intranasal acupuncture treatment in allergic rhinitis patients. Methods: This study was carried with the 42 pediatric allergic rhinitis who had been treated in our hospital. Inner young-hyang was used for the intranasal acupuncture points. Their nasal cavity was observed via anterior rhinoscopy. We induced patient's inferior turbiante bleeding by acupuncture. Patients nasal symtoms and QOL(quality of life) were assessed by the Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS) and Quality of Life Questionnaire for Korean Rhinitisian(QLQKR). Results: Total Nasal Symptom Score(TNSS) and Quality of Life Questionnaire for Korean Rhinitisian(QLQKR) were significantly improved. Conclusions: Intranasal acupuncture treatment is relatively effective in treating pediatric allergic rhinitis.

A 9-year-old male Maltese with foamy nasal discharge, respiratory distress, and sneezing followed by epistaxis was presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. Radiography showed no significant findings from an open mouth view. Rhinoscopy also did not find any remarkable lesions in the nasal cavity. But when vigorously swabbing the nasal cavity, numerous cells having round nuclei, coarse reticular chromatin, one large nucleolus and distinct cytoplasmic vacuoles, which is typical for canine transmissible venereal tumor cells were collected. We thoroughly searched for any primary transmissible venereal tumor at the other areas of the body other than the nasal cavity, but found none. The patient responded well to vincristine, and the clinical signs resolved with no respiratory distress, sneezing or epistaxis.

We studied 32 patents, who had visited Kyung Hee downtown oriental hospital with nasal obstruction. They has been observed their nasal cavity through anterior rhinoscopy. We had paten't middle and inferior turbinte bleeding by acupuncture. This symptom had been disappeared after this treatment. The result were as follows. 1. Sex and age distribution: The males were 18($56.2\%) and Female were 14($43.8\%$). The most common occurrence was found between 1-5 years old. 2. The most common duration of disease was between 2-6 months. 3. In decreasing order, the common complication & past history of otolaryngologic or allergic disease were allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, chronic sinusitis, adenoid or tonsil hypertrophy, otitis media with effusion and asthma. 4. In descending order, distribution of symptoms were rhinorrhea, sneezing, dry sensation, sputum, frontal headach, postnasal drip and cough. 5. The improvement rate in symptom were $31.3\%\;excellent\;and\;53.1\%$ good.

Background: Rhinolaryngoscopy and sputum examination are popular tests for the evaluation of chronic cough. Little is known about the relationship between symptoms and rhinolaryngoscopic findings or sputum eosinophilia in chronic cough patients. Methods: One hundred patients, who had chronic cough with normal chest radiography and who also had undergone both rhinolaryngoscopy and induced sputum analysis, were reviewed retrospectively. Eleven associated symptoms of chronic cough were asked; postnasal drip (PND) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) were examined by rhinolaryngoscopy. Induced sputum analysis was performed for evaluation of sputum eosinophilia. Cross tabulation analyses with chi-square tests were used to evaluate the relationship between symptoms and objective findings. Results: The most frequent symptom was sputum (70%). The prevalence of PND and LPR on rhinolaryngoscopy were 56% (56/100) and 25.6% (22/86), respectively. Sputum eosinophilia was observed in 23 (23.7%) of 97 patients. The dyspnea (p=0.001), sputum (p=0.003), nasal obstruction (p=0.023), and postnasal drip sense (p=0.025) were related with PND on rhinolaryngoscopy. LPR on rhinolaryngoscopy was not related with any symptoms. Dyspnea (p=0.003), wheezing (p=0.005), nasal obstruction (p=0.013), and belching (p=0.018) were related with sputum eosinophilia. Conclusion: Any symptoms might not be related with LPR on laryngoscopy. Some symptoms might be related with PND on rhinoscopy or with sputum eosinophilia.

A four-year-old spayed female Maltese dog weighing 3 kg was referred with reverse sneezing and fourmonth history of unilateral nasal discharge. She was diagnosed as nasal transitional carcinoma which in bilateral nasal cavity and extending into the frontal sinus by biopsy with rhinoscopy. Metronomic chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide ($12.5mg/m^2$) and toceranib phosphate (2.5 mg/kg) was initiated following after surgical treatment of nasal mass debulking. Clinical response was good and had no side effects during the chemotherapy period (11 months after diagnosis). This is a case report describing adjuvant metronomic chemotherapy in nasal transitional carcinoma in Korea.

A 7-year-old castrated, domestic shorthair cat was presented with a 2-year history of chronic nasal discharge and sneezing. Upon presentation, bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge and stertorous respiration were marked. Physical examination revealed a tachypnea. Oral examination was unremarkable and chest radiology was normal. Findings of nasal cytology and skull radiology were not specific and further imaging technique, endoscopic examination and histopathology was performed for a definite diagnosis. Fluid, and/or soft tissue opacity was found in bilateral nasal cavity, nasopharyngeal regions and right side tympanic bulla through the CT scan. No evidence of neoplasia was revealed. A rigid rhinoscopy, flexible bronchoscopy and otoscopy was used for the visualization of the lesions and tissue biopsy biopsy was performed for histopathology. On histopathological examination, the nasal mass consisted mainly of large numbers of plasma cells and lymphocytes. And the final diagnosis was lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis based on histopathologic examination. Long term management with oral cyclosporine (5 mg/kg, BID) was safe and successful in this cat. This is the first case report described clinical and diagnostic characteristic features of feline lymphoplasmacytic rhinitis and its clinical outcome using oral cyclosporine in Korea.
