  • Lonicerae Flos has antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus, streptococci, pneumococci, Bacillus dysenterii, Salmonella typhi, and paratyphoid. It is an antiviral agent. The herb has a cytoprotective effect against $CCl_{4}-induced$ hepatic injury. It has antilipemic action, interfering with lipid absorption from the gut. Nowadays this herb is used mainly in the treatment of upper respiratory infections, such as tonsillitis and acute laryngitis. It is also used in the treatment of skin suppurations, such as carbuncles, and to treat viral conjunctivitis, influenza, pneumonia, and mastitis. Lonicerae Flos is dried flower buds of Lonicera japonica, L. hypoglauca, L. confusa, or L. dasystyla. But, for the most part, we use whole plant of Lonicera japonica, as a flower bud of it. And, little is known of the original copy of effects of whole plant, except for the 'Bon-Cho-Gang-Mok', which is written the effects of flower of Lonicera japonica are equal to effects of leaves and branch of it. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica on the regulatory mechanism of cytokines, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) for the immunological activities in Raw 264.7 cells. In Raw 264.7 cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic inflammation, flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica water extracts inhibited nitric oxide production in a dose-dependent manner and abrogated iNOS and COX-2. Flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica water extract did not affect on cell viability. To investigate the mechanism by which flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica water extract inhibits iNOS and COX-2 gene expression, we examined the on phosphorylation of inhibitor ${\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and assessed production of $TNF-{\alpha}$, $interleukin-1{\beta}$ $(IL-1{\beta})$ and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Results provided evidence that flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica inhibited the production of $IL-1{\beta}$, IL-6 and activated the phosphorylation of inhibitor ${\kappa}B{\alpha}$ in Raw 264.7 cells activated with LPS. These findings suggest that flower and whole plant of Lonicera japonica can produce anti-inflammatory effect, which may play a role in adjunctive therapy in Gram-negative bacterial infections, respectively.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study is to analyze the charcateristics of inpatients in Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology & Dermatology Clinic by gender, age, season, and department of medical care after hospitalization from March, 2012 to February, 2018. Method : From March 1, 2012 to February 28, 2018, patients who were admitted to the Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology & Dermatology Clinic of Korean Medical Hospital were classified by gender, age, department, and season, and their relationship, hospitalization period, number of outpatient visits Differences were analyzed objectively using various statistical methods using IBM SPSS 18.0. Results : 1. The number of inpatients was 432, including duplication. Of these, 317 were female and 115 were male. The number of female patients was 2.8 times higher. 2. The average age of the inpatients was 43.9 years and the number of middle-aged 40-50 patients was 48.6%. 3. The number of inpatients in the departments was in the order of dermatology, otology, laryngology, rhinology, and ophthalmology. The most hospitalized diseases were eczema in the dermatology department, sudden hearing loss in the otology department, tonsillitis/peritonsillar abscess, rhinitis in the rhinology department, and dry eye syndrome in ophthalmology. 1) The effect of gender on the difference in the number of inpatients by subdivision was statistically significant. 2) The effect of age on the difference in the number of inpatients by subdivision was statistically significant. 3) The effect of seasons on the difference in the number of inpatients was not statistically significant. 4. The number of inpatients by season was in the order of winter, spring, summer, autumn, and the number of inpatients decreased significantly in autumn. 1) The effect of gender on the difference in the number of hospitalized patients by season was not statistically significant. 2) The effect of age on the difference in the number of hospitalized patients by season was not statistically significant. 5. The average length of hospital stay for inpatients was 10.7 days. 1) The effect of gender on length of hospital stay was not statistically significant. 2) The effect of age on hospital stay was not statistically significant. 3) The effect of the subdivision on hospital stay was statistically significant. 4) The effect of the season on hospital stay was not statistically significant. Conclusion : As a result of this study, the most distinctive feature of the present study was the high rate of inpatients with otic disease like idiopathic hearing loss and Meniere 's syndrome and the high rate of female patients. This may be related to the increased prevalence of the disease and the severity of the disease. In addition, the high rate of female patients suggests that women are more likely to be affected by illnesses, as well as to have more medical use and severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. In the future, it would be better to provide various treatment plans and policies for patients with otic diseases and female patients. Also it would be good if studies on these fields are made in the future.

  • 목 적 : 소아 경부 농양은 항생제의 발달과 더불어 감소하는 질병으로 생각되었으나, 최근 발생 사례들이 다시 증가하고 있다. 이에 저자들은 10년간 경험한 소아 경부 농양 사례들의 발생양상, 임상경과, 항생제 감수성과 치료법을 분석하여 향후 이 질환에 대한 진단과 치료에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1993년 1월부터 2003년 8월까지 가톨릭의대 성모자애병원, 성빈센트병원, 성가병원, 의정부 성모병원에서 세균배양검사, 경부 CT, 경부 초음파 검사를 통해 경부 농양으로 진단받은 16세 이하 94례의 소아를 대상으로 임상양상, 검사결과, 치료와 예후에 대한 후향적 자료 분석을 하였다. 결 과 : 1) 2000년부터 경부농양의 연간발생이 증가하였다. 2) 연령 분포는 생후 26일에서 15세(중간값 4세), 남녀비는 1 : 1.04이었다. 3) 임상양상은 발열 73.4%(n=69), 인후통 37.2%(n=35), 경구 섭취량 감소 34%(n=32), 목 주위 통증 27.7%(n=26), 연하통 20.2%(n=19)의 순이었다. 이외 에도 경부 운동 거부 6.4%(n=6), 두통 6.4%(n=6), 사경 4.3%(n=4), 천음 2.1%(n=2), 호흡곤란 2.1%(n=2)이 있었다. 4) 이학적 진찰 소견으로는 경부 종괴 67%(n=63), 인두염 46.8%(n=44), 편도염 36.2%(n=34), 경부 림프선종대 28.7%(n=27), 후인두벽 융기 24.5%(n=23)의 순이었으며 경부강직은 4.3%(n=4)에서 있었다. 5) 경부농양의 위치는 하악하 34%(n=32), 편도주위부 29.7%(n=28), 인두 후부 11.7%(n=11), 이하선내 7.4%(n=7), 인두 주위부 6.4%(n=6), 이외 두 곳 이상에서 발생한 경우가 10.8%(n=10)에서 있었다. 6) 33명의 환자 중 농양과 혈액 세균배양검사에서 총 35례의 균주가 동정되었다. S. aureus 34%(n=12), group A beta hemolytic streptococcus 28.64%(n=10), Viridans Streptococci 14.3%(n=5)의 순이었다. 대부분 그람 양성균으로 항생제 감수성 검사결과에서, vancomycin 96.4%, 3세대 cephalosporin에 88.9%, cephalothin에 86.4%, penicillin에 51.7%에서 감수성을 보였으며, 그람 음성군에서는 amikacin에 66.7%, 3세대 cephalosporin에 100% 감수성을 보였다. 7) 총 입원일은 $9.2{\pm}4.4$일이었으며, 총 항생제 투여기간은 $15.5{\pm}5.1$일, 이중 정맥 항생제 투여기간은 $8.8{\pm}4.3$일이었다. 8) 일차적으로 선택한 항생제로는 대부분 penicillin이나 1, 2세대 cephalosporin을 포함하고 있었으며, 이 중 일부에서는 증상의 호전이 없어 metronidazol이나 clindamycin을 대체 내지 추가하였다. 9) 치료는 항생제만을 사용한 경우 18.1%(n=17), 항생제와 함께 외과적 처치를 병용한 경우 81.9%(n=77)이었으며, 이 두 군간에 입원기간, 총 항생제 투여기간, 정맥 항생제 투여 기간에 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 결 론 : 소아 경부 농양은 최근 들어 증가추세를 보이고 있으며, 그 임상양상도 과거와 다른 경향을 보인다. 조기진단이 가능해 짐에 따라 호흡곤란이나 천명과 같은 기도폐쇄 소견이 감소한데 반해 두통, 경부강직, 경부 운동 거부, 사경과 같은 두경부증상, 증후에서 이상 소견이 증가하고 있다. 원인균은 주로 그람양성균에 의한 경우가 대부분으로 이번 조사 결과 1세대 cephalosporin에 대해 높은 감수성을 보였으며, 임상적으로 안정화 되 있고 기도 폐쇄가 보이지 않는 환아에서 외과적 처치를 병용하는 것이 항생제 치료 기간 및 입원 기간 단축에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 사료된다.
