Henoch-Scholein purpura is a systemic vasculitis of small blood vessels. It is characterized by nonthrombocytopenic purpura, abdominal pain, arthralgia and renal involvement. In Henoch-Scholein purpura, severe abdominal pain may be relived by steroid, but occasionally unresponsive to steroid and conventional analgesics therapy. We tried IV-gamma globulin for severe abdominal pain, unresponsive to steroid, analgesics, and antispasmodics therapy in HSP, and experienced dramatic symptomatic improvement. So we report three cases of IVIG therapy against severe abdominal pain in HSP with a brief review of literatures

Caudal buprenorphine was investigated as a postoperative analgesic in a randominzed double blind study of 45 patients after abdominal surgery. At the end of surgery, patients were given 0.2 mg of caudal buprenorphine in 20 ml saline(n=30, experimental group) or no injection(n=15, control group). Pain relief was evaluated by the subsequent need for systemic analgesics(pethidine). Arterial blood gas and micturition disturbance were evaluated. In the buprenophine group, use of systemic analgesics was significantly reduced for the first 24 hours postoperatively. Arterial blond gas study values 2 hollers after buprenorphine administration were within normal range. 8 patients of the buprenorphine group developed urinary retention requiring temporary Nelaton catheterization of the bladder. Caudal buprenorphine for postoperative pain control was a good alternate method of postoperative pain management.

Capsaicin. the pungent component of chili pepper. opens a novel cation selective ion channel in the plasma membrane of peripheral sensory neurons. Capsaicin channel agonists induce pain upon topical application in the early stage. which is followed by a period of desensitization. Although the agonists have been studied as a analgesics, their initial irritancy became sever side effect. So competive antagonists have been pursued as a novel pharmacological agent for analgesics, rather than agonists. (omitted)

The acute and genetic toxicity of DK1002 was subjected in this study. DK1002 which is a morphine-like new drug candidate synthesized by Dong-Kook Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. is now under developing as a analgesics that have better drug efficacy and least addictive property. In acute toxicity study, the 50% lethal doses ($LD_{50}$) of DK1002 were determined as>2000mg/kg (p.o.), 237.0mg/kg(i.p.), 57.5mg/kg(i.v.), and 1266.9mg/kg (s.c.). And also, to study the genotoxicity of DK1002, we performed bacterial reversion assay with Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537, and in vitro chromosomal aberration assay with Chinese hamster lung cells in the presence and absence of S-9 metabolic activation system. In vivo micronucleus assay using mouse bone marrow cells was also performed. From these results, DK1002 was revealed nonmutagenic potential in S. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA537 both in the absence and presecne of metablic activation system. No clastogenicity of DK1002 was observed in chromosomal aberration assay in vitro as well as in micronucleus assay in vivo.

개흉술을 시행받은 환자에 있어서 수술후 발생하는 동통은 해결하기 힘든 문제로 다양한 방법들이 시도되어 왔다. 저자들은 침의 효능에 주목하여 개흉술후 동통억제에 침치료가 얼마나 효과가 있는지를 관찰하였다. 1995년 3월부터 9월까지 흉부질환으로 액와 절개술을 이용한 개흉술을 시행받은 20례를 무작위로 2개의 군으로 분류하였다. 동통치료를 위해 통상적으로 사용하는 진통제를 투여한 군을 대조군(n=10)으로 하고 침 치료를 시행한 군을 실험군(n=10)으로 하였다. 수술후 진통효과를 평가하기 위 해 고려대학교 의과대학 흉부외과학교실에서 정한 수술후 통증에 대한 점수체계를 이용하였다. 환자가 느끼는 동통의 정 도와 술측의 팔운동장애의 정도에서 두 군간의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 진통제의 투여회수는 침 치료를 시행한 군에서 유의하게 감소하였다(P<0.05). 따라서 저자들은 개흉술을 시행받은 환자의 수술후 동통억제시 침술을 이용함으로써 진통제의 투여회 수를 줄일 수 있으며 간기능 저하인 환자나 진통제 주사에 대 해 부작용을 나타내는 환자에게 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Background : Previous studies have proven beneficial in labor analgesia to use subarachnoid sufentanil(alone or with adjuvant) on parturients in early first stage of labor. We designed this prospective study to evaluate analgesic efficacy and side effects of subarachnoid sufentanil plus bupivacaine in women with cervical dilatation of 7 cm greater. Methods : This was an open-label, nonrandomized trial of 32 parturients in late first stage labor who requested labor analgesia. After signing the consent form each patient received subarachnoid sufentanil (10 ${\mu}g$) and bupivacaine (2.5 mg). Patients were asked to rate their verbal pain score (0-10 scale) before regional anesthesia and 5 minutes after subarachnoid injection, and every 20 minutes thereafter until delivery or request for additional analgesia. Blood pressure, pruritus, Bromage motor block score, mode of delivery and need for supplemental analgesics were recorded. Results : Thirty women were included in the study. Mean pain scores (mean${\pm}$SD) were $8.7{\pm}1.0$ pre-spinal, $0.7{\pm}1.5$ 5 minutes post-injection, and remained less than 5 for 130 minutes after spinal injection. Of 30 patients, 24 had unassisted vaginal delivery, 4 instrumental vaginal delivery (vacuum), and 2 cesarean delivery. Of 28 patients who delivered vaginally, 19 did not require supplemental analgesics and had a delivery pain score of 5 or lower. Blood pressure decreased in three patients after spinal analgesia (p<0.05), which necessitated treatment. The Bromage motor block score was 0 in 26 patients and 1 in 4 patients. Pruritus was noted in 22 patients. Conclusion : Subarachnoid sufentanil-bupivacaine provides rapid analgesia for an effective duration of approximately 130 minutes in parturients in late first stage of labor.

Background: Preemptive analgesia may decrease postoperative pain by preventing nociceptive inputs generated during surgery. The preemptive effect of intravenous nalbuphine was examined in gynecological surgery. Methods: Forty female patients scheduled for gynecological surgery were randomly allocated into two groups. Each patient received 10 mg of intravenous nalbuphine as a bolus dose at the closure of peritoneum in group I (n=20) and before the skin incision in group II (n=20). After the bolus dose, the intravenous patient controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) which contained 50 mg of nalbuphine, 120 mg of ketorolac, 0.25 mg of droperidol and 90 ml of 5% dextrose water was given continuously at the rate of 2 ml/min. The postoperative visual analogue scale pain score (VAS), the total amount of the analgesics used, the degree of satisfaction of the patients and the developement of side effects were examined for 2 days. Results: VAS were significantly lower in group II than in group I after 9 and 12 hours. The cumulative consumption of analgesics in group II was significantly less than in group I. Most patients were satisfied with this regimen. There were no remarkable side effects. Conclusions: Preemptive analgesia with intravenous nalbuphine decreased postoperative pain and analgesic requirement. The analgesic effect of IV-PCA with nalbuphine-ketorolac was effective in control of postoperative pain in gynecologic surgery.

This study was focused on the relationships between menstrual history and psychological variables in middle school girls. The study included 165 students. Self image, optimism and self-efficacy are measured structured questionnaires each. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe's test. The proportion of the students with bleeding period less than 7 days was higher in the group with high self image(p=.002). The self image was higher in the group who take analgesics occasionally than the group who take daily(p=.009) and in the group with irregular menstruation(p=.024). Emotional tone was higher in the group with irregular menstruation(p=.008), and psychopathology was higher in the group who take analgesics occasionally(p=.008). Family relationship was higher in the group with bleeding period less than 7 days(p=.004), in the group who take analgesics occasionally(p=.007) and in the group with irregular menstruation(p=.015). Mastery and coping was higher in the group with bleeding period less than 7 days(p=.026). Adaptation was higher in the group with irregular menstruation(p=.034). Also optimism was higher in the group with bleeding period less than 7 days(p=.005), in the group who experienced menorrhalgia a few years after menarche(p=.014) and the group with irregular menstruation(p=.027). Self-efficacy was higher in the group of polymenorrhea(p=.029). Because menstruation is related with psychiatric factors, it is necessary to ask menstruation history and psychiatric status. This study can be used in the development of the questionnaire for the oriental medical examination.
