Objective: The purpose of this study was to report three cases of post-COVID-19 dry cough that persisted even after taking Western medicine but was successfully treated with Maekmundong-tang. Methods: Three patients who were treated with Maekmundong-tang from March to June 2022 were selected from patients who visited Dong-Eui University Korean Medicine Hospital with post-Covid-19 dry cough. Jeil Maekmundong-tang Ext. granules were used to improve the cough. The effect of the treatment was evaluated using a visual analog scale, cough symptom score, and cough assessment test. Results: After the treatment, Cases 1, 2, and 3 showed decreases from 90 to 30, 65 to 0, and 70 to 20, respectively, for the visual analog scale score, decreases from 9 to 3, 5 to 0, and 5 to 3, respectively, for the cough symptom score, and decreases from 20 to 4, 9 to 1, and 8 to 3, respectively, for the cough assessment test score. Conclusion: Maekmundong-tang provided an effective improvement in the post-COVID-19 dry cough that persisted even after taking Western medicine.

A case of chronic dry cough which was tried to be treated through so many medications in a period of two months, responded very well to a simple ayurvedic remedy composing of a common formulation chosen as per the ayurvedic principles of pathogenesis and management. This case may be an eye opener to the concurrent ayurvedic clinical practice and invites ayurvedic practitioners to stick to their own principles of disease management for obtaining better responses.

Objectives: In order to confirm a remedial effect and related influence of the clinic treatment by prescribing herb medicines to hypertensives experiencing angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor dosage and suffering from common side effect generally known as dry cough. Methods: 1. We selected the 19 patients who visited National Oriental Medical Center, from August 21, 2007 to August 16, 2008 and suffering from dry cough caused by taking ACE inhibitor, with no other possible diseases causing dry cough. 2. We separated the 19 patients into two groups (Type 1: Bi-Qi hie (脾氣虛) group prescribed Samchuljojung-tang & Type 2: Qi-hie dam-wul (氣虛痰鬱) group prescribed Samsoumgamibang). 3. We then observed the symptom level and post-treatment effect, and recorded changes of dry cough intensity level for each group. Results: 1. Type 1: In the survey of 12 patients, initial level recorded 16.33 at entry diagnosis, and next level meant changing of symptoms, recorded as 2.75 at Stage 1 and reaching 3.33 at Stage 2. 2. Type 2: 7 patients, with initial level recorded as 18.71 at entry diagnosis, and 1.86 at Stage 1 and reaching to 3.29 at Stage 2. 3. No additional prescriptions were issued at Stage 2 or afterwards, and final result indicates that the mean value ended at 3.95 in the total group. Conclusions: It is concluded that there is a significant remedial effect and related influence of the clinic treatment between the Oriental medicine treatment and one of the common side effects of ACE inhibitor, dry cough.

We tried $Cofrel^{\circledR}$ ($Pyrexyl^{\circledR}$ 1-(2-benzyl phenoxy)-2-piperidino-propane phosphate) which is non-narcotic, to evaluate its clinical effect on cough due to respiratory tract diseases-35 cases. 1) Thirty two cases among 35 cases disclosed remarkable effectiveness (91.4% of efficacy) 2) It was almost equally effective in dry cough, productive cough and barking cough. 3) Speed of response was very rapid in 21 cases(60.0) moderately rapid in 12 cases(34.3%). 4) Palatability were excellent in all cases and side effect was not observed. It is very difficult to evaluate effectiveness of anti-tussive drug. However, we concluded that Cofrel is a quite effective medicament for cough in respiratory diseases in children.

연구배경: ACE 억제제는 고혈압 및 신장질환의 치료제로서, 투약 중 발생하는 건성 기침은 이 약제의 사용을 제한하는 부작용으로 알려져 있다. ACE 억제제로 인한 건성 기침의 발생 빈도는 ACE의 활성도가 낮은 사람에서 높고, 그 활성도는 ACE 유전자의 다형성과 관계가 있다는 가설이 있으나, 그간의 국내외 임상 연구들은 그에 대해 각각 상이한 보고를 하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 국내의 ACE 억제제를 투약 받고 있는 신장 질환 환자들을 대상으로, 건성 기침의 발생 반도와 ACE의 활성도를 결정하는 유전자 다형성과의 관계를 고찰하고자 하였다. 방 법: 1998년 8월 현재, 외래에서 ACE 억제제를 투약 받고 있는 339명의 환자들을 대상으로, 투약 중 건성 기침을 호소하고, 약제 중단 후 기침이 소실된 환자들을 기침 발생군, 기침을 호소하지 않은 환자들을 기침 미발생군으로 하였다. 환자들의 병력, 투약력, 증상 등의 임상적 특성은 의무기획을 이용하여 조사하였고, ACE 유전자 다형성은 환자들의 말초 혈액에서 얻은 DNA 의 종합효소 연쇄반응기법 (PCR) 과 전기영동(electrophoresis)으로 결정하였다. 결 과: 기침 발생군은 37명으로, 빈도는 10.9% 이었고, 미발생군은 302명이었다. 양군간에 연령, 기저 질환, ACE 억제제의 종류 및 용량에 있어서 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 남녀 비는 기침 발생군에서 M : F=24.3% : 75.7%, 미발생군에서는 49.7% : 50.3%로, 기침 발생군에서 여성의 비율이 유의하게 높았다(p=0.004). ACE 유전자 다형성의 유전자형의 비는 기침발생군에서 I:I : I/D : D/D=16.2% : 18.9% : 64.9%, 미발생군에서 18.9% : 18.2% : 62.9%로 양군간에 유의한 차이가 없었으며(p= 0.926), I allele과 D allele의 비도 기침 발생군에서 I : D=25.7% : 74.3%, 미발생군에서 28.0% : 72.0%로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (p=0.676). 결 론: ACE 억제제를 사용하고 있는 환자에서, 건성 기침의 발생 빈도는 10.9%이었고, 여성에서 유의하게 높았으며, ACE 억제제에 의한 기침과 ACE 유전자 다형성과는 관련성이 없었다.

A self-administrated non-malignant respiratory symptoms questionnaire was sent to 1,099 citizens who take subway running in Seoul city. Symptom prevalence rate was high: 70.6% of subjects reported 'chest tightness', 43.4%, 'dysphnea'; 76.2%, 'dry cough'; 49.5%, 'runny nose'; 94.4%, 'drowsiness' when they take subway. The groups responding significant higher respiratory and drowsiness symptoms were 'young passengers' (vs elderly passengers), 'the female' (vs male), 'using subway everyday' (vs often), 'using subway for rush-hour time' (vs other than rush-hour), 'using transfer subway' (no transfer), 'using underground track' (vs ground track). Logistic. regression model was employed to find personal and subway characteristics affecting non-malignant respiratory symptoms. This study concluded that respiratory diseases history such as asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis significantly affect 'dry cough' and 'runny nose'. Thus, passengers with respiratory diseases history shows 2.8 times greater 'dry cough' than and 3.4 times greater 'runny nose' than those passengers without respiratory diseases history felt. This results indicated that several measures have to take to protect sensitive groups such as passengers with respiratory diseases, children and elderly people. Also passenger who use to transfer shows 1.7 times higher runny nose symptoms than that passenger who do not transfer felt.

Objectives : The purpose of this case study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Traditional Korean Medicine as an adjunctive management for breast cancer treatment. Methods : A 56 year-old female patient diagnosed with stage IA(pT1cN0M0) of breast cancer was admitted our hospital. The patient had surgical resection followed by radiation therapy, and conducted adjuvant therapy with aromatase inhibitor. The patient's chief complaints were dry cough, thirst and fatigue, all of which were caused by radiation therapy. Traditional Korean herbal medicine was prescribed for symptom management. The patient's subjective symptoms such as cough, thirst and fatigue were evaluated by NRS. Results : Fatigue was significantly improved within a week. The severity of dry cough and thirst also was decreased after a few courses of herbal medicine treatment. Conclusion : This case study suggests that Tradition Korean Medicine would be beneficial for the patients who are suffering from adverse effects of the standard treatment of cancer.

1993년 일본의 Tanabe 제약에서 개발된 염산 Imidapril (Tanatril$^{(R)}$)은 새로운 작용지속형 ACE inhibitor이며 강압효과와 안정성이 뛰어나고, 마른기침 등의 부작용이 다른 ACE inhibitor 보다는 적은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 1997년 10월 6일부터 1998년 12월까지 영남대학교 의과대학 부속병원 순환기 내과에 내원하여 고혈압이 처음 진단되었거나 진단받은 후에도 강압제 치료를 받지 않았던 환자 중 경증(1기)에서 중증(3기) 본태성 고혈압(JNC V 분류의거)을 보인 30명중 최종분석이 가능한 21명(부작용으로 투약을 중단한 1명 포함)을 대상으로 하였다. 임상시험 종료 시 측정한 확장기 혈압은 $88.7{\pm}9mmHg$로 평균 하강량은 13.8mmHg이었다. 혈압 강하효과 판정에서 16명이 혈압 하강군으로 분류되어 혈압강하효과는 76.2%(16/21)였다. Imidapril 단독 투여로 치료 종료시 정상 혈압(l40/90mmHg 미만)을 보인 경우는 10명(47.6%)이었다. 임상시험중 나타나는 부작용으로는 마른기침, 두통, 현기증, 오심, 상복부 불쾌감, 졸리움 등이 있었으며 총 7명에서(33.3%) 부작용이 관찰되었고, 심한 위장관계 불편감을 호소한 한 예를 제외하고는 모두 일상 생활에 불편을 주지는 않는 상태였으며, 시간이 경과할수록 그 정도가 점차로 약해졌다. ACE inhibitor의 가장 흔한 부작용 중의 하나인 마른기침은 모두 2명(9.5%)에서 관찰되었다. 새로운 ACE inhibitor인 Imidapril은 다른 ACE inhibitor와 비슷한 강압효과와 안정성을 보이며, 특별히 심각한 부작용을 보이지 않고, 그 중에서도 특히 마른기침 발현 빈도는 9.5%로 다른 제제에 비해 현저히 낮았으며, 그 정도가 미미하여 감량없이 계속투여가 가능했다.
