Objectives : This study was performed to report the effect of oriental treatments for panic disorder with functional gastrointestinal disturbance. Methods : In this case, a 30 year-old female patient has been suffered by panic disorder with functional gastrointestinal disturbance for 10 years. This case can be caused by KanKiUlKyul(肝氣鬱結), KanKiBeomYi(肝氣犯胃) and KanKiSeungBi(肝氣乘脾). We treated the patient with Herbal medication, Cognitive-behavioral therapy and Relaxation therapy.

Although dysphagia and globus is a common comlication in Functional gastrointestinal disorder, there are few studies or reports about its treatment in oriental medicine. This study was to report the effect of Bokryungyeum-tang in Functional gastrointestinal disorder patients with dysphagia. Functional gastrointestinal disorder patients with dysphagia hospitalized in our hospital were treated by Bokryungyeum-tang every day. three times a day for two weeks. The patient showed constant improvement during the two weeks. Not only their objective measure, but also their subjective symptoms such as chest discomfort, insomnia, and depression improved too. This suggests that Bokryungyeum-tang is quite effective when treating functional gastrointestinal disorder patients with dysphagia.

Objectives: Since we found patients with dyspepsia as their major symptom had high rate of headache, would like to find out a rational diagnosis ground by using EAV correlation between headache and gastrointestinal disorder Methods: We did survey and EAV inspection on 128 patients came by gastrointestinal disorder who quoted 4 and 5 degree for their headache symptoms) Results & Conclusion The results of this study were as follows: 1. From dyspepsia, we saw higher rate by order of epigastric discomfort, bloating, stomach trouble, bleching, etc. 2. By EAV analysis, found functional deterioration by order of stomach, nerval degeneration vessel, gall bladder/bile duct, liver. 3. By EAV analysis, functional deterioration of stomach, gall bladder/bile duct, liver represent dyspepsia and nerval degeneration vessel represent headache. We found the correlation between dyspepsia and headache by observation at a time.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to find correlations between gastrointestinal disorders, pain, sleep disorder, fatigue, and to figure out characteristics of fatigue in Sasang Constitution using medical devices data. Methods Sixty three subjects were divided into fatigue group and non-fatigue group, both groups had to undergo blood tests, questionnaire, Sasang constitutional analysis tool (SCAT), pulse wave analyzer examination, heart rate variability examination, nail fold capillary microscopic examination. Results 1) The results of questionnaire about fatigue, gastrointestinal disorder, pain, sleep disorder, quality of life had significant differences between fatigue and non-fatigue groups. 2) Soeumin had more serious gastrointestinal problem and Soyangin had more serious sleep disorder in fatigue groups than non-fatigue groups. 3) According to blood test results, there was no difference between fatigue and non-fatigue groups. 4) Elastic parameter of pulse wave analyzer and nail fold capillary microscopic examination showed significant differences between fatigue and non-fatigue groups in Soyangin. Conclusions We reach the conclusion that fatigue is usually accompanied by gastrointestinal disorder, pain, sleep disorder, deterioration in the quality of life. In Soeumin, treating gastrointestinal disorders can be helpful for treatment of fatigue. In Soyangin, improving sleep disorder may be more effective way to treat fatigue.

연구목적 : 상부 위장관의 소화 장애를 가진 환자들이 스트레스를 지각하였을 때 나타내는 반응 및 소화장애 증상의 여러 변인들과의 관계를 알아봄으로써 특정 정신신체질환군에서의 스트레스에 대한 반응특성과 해당 질환과의 연관성을 알아보고자 한다. 방법 : 소화장애 증상으로 인천기독병원 소화기내과를 방문하여 위내시경 소견 상 병변이 확인된 84명의 환자와 94명의 정상 대조군을 대상으로 국내에서 개발된 스트레스반응 지각척도를 사용하여 스트레스를 인지하였을 때 나타내는 반응을 비교분석하였다. 또한 환자군에서 현재 호소하는 소화장애 증상의 기간, 소화장애의 과거력, 증상의 심각도, 심리적 고통의 존재 여부에 따라 스트레스에 대한 지각반응이 어떻게 나타나는지 평가하였다. 결과 : 스트레스반응 지각척도는 8개의 하위척도로 구성되어 있으며 연구 대상자 178명에서 8개 하위척도와 척도전체의 내적 일치도는 .65~.95로써 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 환자군이 대조군에 비해서 척도의 전체총점과 일반적 신체증상척도, 특정신체증상척도의 접수가 통계적으로 유의하게 더 높았다. 소화장애 증상과 스트레스반응 지각척도와의 관련성은 소화장애의 기간, 소화장애의 과거력, 증상의 심각도는 특정신체증상을, 심리적 고통의 존재는 인지기능의 저하와 일반적 부정적 사고를 잘 예측해 주는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : 실제 상부위장관에 병변을 가진 소화장애 환자들은 정상인에 비해서 강한 스트레스 반응 지각을 나타내었으며 특히 스트레스를 경험하고 인지하였을 때 감정, 인지, 행동 영역의 반응보다는 자율신경계 및 특정신체부위와 연관된 신체증상을 주로 경험하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 또한 이들은 소화장애의 기간이 길고, 과거력이 있을수록, 그리고 증상이 심할수록 스트레스에 대해 소화기 증상을 주로 한 특정신체증상으로 반응하며 심리적 고통을 주는 스트레스의 존재는 인지기능을 저하시키고 부정적인 사고반응을 일으킴을 알 수 있다.

This study investigated the clinical effect of Korean medicine treatments on two patients who experienced gastrointestinal symptoms with anxiety disorder. The patients were treated with herbal medicine (Yukgunja-tang, Banhabakchulchunma-tang) and acupuncture for 11 days and 26 days, respectively. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) scores on the day of hospital admission and after treatment were compared; both the BAI and GSRS scores decreased after treatment. Moreover, the grade of the gastrointestinal symptoms changed from severe to mild or none. Therefore, these cases are useful for describing Korean medicine treatments for anxiety disorders in patients who experience gastrointestinal symptoms. However, additional case reports and studies are be needed in the future to confirm these findings.

Purpose: Various gastrointestinal factors may contribute to maladaptive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). To determine the association between maladaptive behavior in children with ASD and gastrointestinal symptoms such as severity, intestinal microbiota, inflammation, enterocyte damage, permeability and absorption of opioid peptides. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study compared children with ASD to healthy controls, aged 2-10 years. Maladaptive behavior was classified using the Approach Withdrawal Problems Composite subtest of the Pervasive Developmental Disorder Behavior Inventory. Dependent variables were gastrointestinal symptom severity index, fecal calprotectin, urinary D-lactate, urinary lactulose/mannitol excretion, urinary intestinal fatty acids binding protein (I-FABP) and urinary opioid peptide excretion. Results: We did not find a significant difference between children with ASD with severe or mild maladaptive behavior and control subjects for gastrointestinal symptoms, fecal calprotectin, urinary D-lactate, and lactulose/mannitol ratio. Urinary opioid peptide excretion was absent in all children. Children with ASD with severe maladaptive behavior showed significantly higher urinary I-FABP levels compared to those with mild maladaptive behavior (p=0.019) and controls (p=0.015). Conclusion: In our series, maladaptive behavior in ASD children was not associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, intestinal inflammation (no difference in calprotectin), microbiota (no difference in urinary D-lactate) and intestinal permeability (no difference in lactulose/manitol ratio). ASD children with severe maladaptive behavior have significantly more enterocyte damage (increased urinary I-FABP) than ASD children with mild maladaptive behavior and normal children.

In patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders, dietary factors have an important effect on the development or worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, nutritional advice is often needed for the treatment of these patients. Although no firm conclusions can be drawn from current studies, the use of low-fat diets can be recommended in patients with functional dyspepsia. Constipation can be treated with a high-fiber diet. There are few studies in irritable bowel syndrome patients with diarrhea. The diet recommendations must be applied to each patient depending on symptoms.

기능성 위장관 장애(functional gastrointestinal disorder, FGID)의 생물학적 병태생리는 아직 명확하지 않은 실정이나 최근에 뇌-장관 축(brain-gut axis, BGA) 모델이 각광받고 있다. BGA 모델은 중추신경계(CNS)와 장관신경계(ENS)가 신경계, 신경내분비계, 신경면역계 등으로 밀접하게 연계되어 양방향성으로 항상성을 유지한다는 이론이다. 또한 BGA는 FGID에 대한 항우울제 효과의 이론적 근거를 제공한다. 저자들은 세로토닌 노르에프네프린 재흡수 차단제인 duloxetine이 목 이물감, 우울감을 보이는 환자와 상부 위장관 팽만감, 건강염려증적 불안을 보이는 환자에서 위장관 증상 및 정신의학적 증상에 효과적이었음을 경험하였다. 이에 두 증례보고를 통하여 BGA에 대해서 간략히 검토하고 duloxetine의 효과를 BGA의 측면에서 고찰하였다. 이 두 증례에서 duloxetine의 장관에서 뇌로의 영향(bottom-up regulation)으로는 세로토닌 수용체, 노르에피네프린 수용체 그리고 부신피질자극호르몬방출인자(CRF) 길항효과를 통해서 내장과민성(visceral hypersensitivity) 및 정신의학적 증상을 호전시키고, 뇌에서 장관으로의 영향(top-down regulation)으로는 우울과 불안을 호전시킴으로 위장관 증상에 영향을 미친 것으로 추정해 볼 수 있다.
