Herpes simplex is caused by viruses of the herpesvirus hominus family. HSV have four categories: type 1, 2, 6, and 8. Generally HSV-1 affects the mouth. Once infected by HSV, the person's infection is permanent. Retrograde transport through adjacent neural tissue to sensory ganglia leads to a lifelong latent infection. Recently, we treated a patient with recurrent herpes-stomatitis mimicking acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG). The results were satisfactorty so we report this case. 31 years old male patient showed sore throat, gingival ulceration, palpable both submandibular lymph node, and sulcular pus formation around posterior decayed teeth. This is the third time he has suffered from this symptom. Tentative diagnosis was acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. Antibiotic therapy was started. But, intraoral symptom got worse in process of time. Especially ulcer of marginal gingiva got worse. Viral disease was suspected. We carried out viral cultivation. At the same time topical application of antiviral ointment (herpecid$^{(R)}$) was performed on oral ulcer unilaterally for the purpose of diagnosis and reducing pain experimentally. The next day pain was decreased dramatically on application area. Basing on the viral cultivation and clinical effect of antiviral ointment (herpecid$^{(R)}$), we have diagnosed it as a recurrent herpes-stomatitis and concluded that viral infection was major cause of disease and bacterial infection was secondary.

Hyperplastic gastric polyps (HPPs) are the most common type of gastric polyps. They are assumed to be caused by chronic inflammation and regenerative proliferation, although this has not been clearly investigated yet. Many studies suggested the development of fundic gland polyps and carcinoid during long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, but the relationship between PPIs and HPPs is still unclear. We encountered a patient who showed aggravation of HPPs after long-term use of PPIs. A 58-year-old male patient with liver cirrhosis visited our hospital because of hematemesis. We started PPI medication after confirming esophageal variceal bleeding and duodenal ulcer with blood clot in its base via emergency endoscopy. He took PPIs for three years because of an intractable duodenal ulcer. There was a marked increase in the size of the pre-existing polyps and in the development of new polyps. We presumed that the PPIs caused the aggravation of the HPPs, so we stopped their administration. After five months, the HPPs shrank and the polyps were partially degraded. More prospective studies are needed to investigate the relationship between HPPs and PPIs.

Since the first deliberate repair of hiatal hernia by Wm. J. Mayo in 1911, counterless procedure have been performed to correct herniation of the stomach into the posterior mediastinum. Recently,we experienced 51 years old female patient with large paraesophageal hernia and complete intrathoracic stomach which combined with multiple gastric erosion with chronic blood loss. So gastric ulcer within a diaphragmatic hernia is a distinct physiophathologic and clinical entity that our patient suffered from severe anemia due to chronic blood loss. The hernia was repaired transabdominally including reduction of stomach, excision of sac, closure of defect, anterior gastropexy, and gastr6stomy. Because of absent gastroesophageal refiux, no another antireflux procedure was required and erosion was managed by H2 receptor blocker.

The microwave tissue coagulator was originally used for hemostasis in the hepatic surgery, which is effectively applied in the endoscopic surgery such as the hemostasis of gastric ulcer or tumor bleeding, stenosis relieving of esophageal or rectal stenosis and tumor reduction in inoperable early cancer cases. We experienced the good result of the microwave tissue coagulation therapy in the patient with the restenosis of esophagogastrostomy. The patient was 67 year-old female, who was admitted due to the lye stricture of esophagus for 40 years. We made the lower esophagectomy and the esophagogastrostomy with the upper intact esophagus in the right thorax. But the restenosis occurred at the esophagogastrostomy site because of the polypoid mucosal protrusion at one month after operation. We applied the microwave tissue coagulator 3 times with 6 day interval under esophagoscopy and the good symptomatic and endoscopic relief was alleviated. We think that the microwave tissue coagulation is a very convenient and advisable method in the case of restenosis after esophageal surgery.

The microwave tissue coagulation therapy was originally used for hemostasis in the hepatic surgery, which is effectively applied in the endoscopic surgery such as the hemostasis of gastric ulcer or tumor bleeding, stenosis relieving of esophageal or rectal stenosis and tumor reduction in inoperable early cancer cases.We experienced one case of the restenosis after the tracheal reconstruction. The patient, who was 42 year-old male, had severe dyspnea due to the tracheal stenosis for 4 years. The resection of tracheal stenosis and tracheal reconstruction was done. But the restenosis occurred at the tracheal anastomosis site because of the protrusive granulation at one month after operation. The patient was successfully treated by the microwave tissue coagulation therapy.

The purposes of this article are to review the pathogenesis, prevention, and management of amputation due to diabetes mel1itus complications, and to report one case who had lost his toes due to diabetes mellitus. A primary cause for hospital admission of the patient was foot ulcer. Since many amputations in diabetic patients are precipitated by such ulcers, a program for active prevention and optimal treatment of diabetic foot lesions might decrease the risk of amputation. Diabetic foot ulcers and, ultimately, amputation can stem from a variety of pathways. The combination of peripheral neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease and infections is the harbinger of the final cataclysmic events of gangrene and amputation. As the physical therapist is often involved in the treatment of diabetic patients, the therapist should be aware of the followings: the patient's type of diabetes and the severity of the diabetes, the complications of the disease, the effects of exercise, the importance of wearing proper shoes and education to patients about appropriate diabetic foot care.

The cutaneous aspergillosis is one of the most common dermatologic manifestations of disseminated infections associated with the Aspergillus organisms, but the isolated primary cutaneous disease itself can rarely occur in an immunocompetent host. We report a case of the primary cutaneous aspergillosis on the scalp and the neck in a 39-year-old immunocompetent male patient. There was a single purulent ulcer surrounded by the erythematous indurated plaque on the scalp with multiple satellite papules and a multi-lobulated granulomatous plaque with a crust on the neck. Skin biopsy demonstrated a fungus, the Aspergillus, in the deep dermis as the etiologic agent. No evidence of involvement in other organs was found. The patient exhibited no other apparent systemic diseases nor immunologic defects. An elliptical excision and a primary closure was performed, and the adjuvant antifungal treatment, oral itraconazole, was applied to prevent the recurrence by the satellite lesions.

Extravasation injury refers to leakage of corrosive liquids from veins, resulting in tissue damage. The authors report on a case of extravasation injury to the left hand after administration of fluid to the antecubital area in a patient with brain damage. In order to minimize the effects of extravasation injury, rapid diagnosis and management are needed. In patients with stiffness, pressure sores can develop requiring more careful management by the medical staff.

The Interior Disease of Taeyangin(太陽人裏病證) is typical syndrome in the Taeyangin pathology taking nausea, vomiting and dyspepsia. However, The Interior Disease of Taeyangin is difficult to classify because Taeyangin patients are relatively few and published studies about Taeyangin pathology are rare. This patient was a 69-year-old man who had nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia and epigastric pain and had been diagnosed and treated as Gastric ulcer before. We classified this patient as The Interior Disease of Taeyangin and prescribed Mihudeungsikjangtang(??藤植腸湯). We experienced the good effect of Mihudeungsikjangtang on The Interior Disease of Taeyangin. We report the healing process and the result of treatment in this study.
