Amyloidosis is defined as the presence of extra-cellular deposits of an insoluble fibrillar protein, amyloid. The pulmonary involvement of amyloidosis is usually classified as tracheobronchial, parenchymal nodular, or diffuse alveolar septal. A single nodular lesion can mimic various conditions, including malignancy, pulmonary tuberculosis, and fungal infection. To date, only one case of nodular pulmonary amyloidosis has been reported in Korea, a case involving multiple nodular lesions. Here, we report and discuss the case of a patient having single nodular amyloidosis.

한약은 폐 질환을 일으키는 드문 원인이나 현재 동, 서양을 막론하고 한약의 사용 증가를 고려하면 향후 더 많은 경우에서 본 사례와 같은 한약 유발성 폐 질환을 경험할 것으로 생각된다. 보중익기탕으로 인한 간질성 폐렴은 국내에서 아직 보고된 바가 없고 이런 경우에서 가능성을 의심하고 초기에 진단하여 더 이상의 복용을 회피하고 적절하게 치료한다면 좋은 예후를 보일 것으로 예상된다. 이에 문헌 고찰과 함께 본 증례를 보고하는 바이다.

연구배경 : 본 연구는 COPD환자를 대상으로 기관지확장제인 tiotropium 1일 1회, 1회 1캅셀 $18{\mu}g$과 ipratropium 1일 4회, 1회 2퍼프(퍼프당 $20{\mu}g$)의 유효성 및 안전성을 비교 평가하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 초기 선별방문 후, 환자는 2주간의 관찰기간에 들어갔으며, 이 기간을 마친 환자는 이중맹검, 무작위배정 하에 위약과 함께 1일 1회 tiotropium 또는 1일 4회 ipratropium을 투여 받았다. 유효성평가는 폐기능검사, 일중 PEFR측정, 환자평가 설문조사, 보조치료약물(살부타몰) 사용량으로 하였다. 폐기능검사는 치료시작 시(0일), 치료 14일후와 치료종료 시(28일)에 하였는데, 이때 투약 5분 전, 투약 후 30분, 60분, 120분 및 180분에 시행하였다. 결 과 : 16개 기관에서 134명의 환자가 분석되었다. 환자의 평균 (표준편차) 나이는 66 (7)세이었고 $FEV_1$은 예측치의 42 (12)%였다. 4주 치료 후 trough $FEV_1$ 반응은 ipratropium군에 비해 tiotropium군에서 유의하게 높았으며 PEFR경우에도 4주 동안 지속적으로 아침 흡입 전 측정한 PEFR이 tiotropium군에서 높게 나타났다(차이: 12.52-13.88 l/min). 4주 치료 기간동안 tiotropium은 좋은 내약성과 함께, ipratropium과 유사한 안전성을 나타냈다. 결 론 : 1일 1회 흡입용 항콜린제제인 tiotropium이 1일 4회 흡입용제제인 ipratropium에 비해 COPD환자를 치료하는데 더 우수한 기관지확장 반응을 보여주었고 안전성에서는 유사하였다.

To study the frequency of the underlying disease of the diffuse pulmonary infiltrates in korea, we ansalyzed retrospectively 982 patients who were seen at nine university hospitals and one general hospital in Seoul area. The results are folloing: 1) Among the total 982 patients, 490 patients were male and 492 patients were female. The mean age was 44.3 years. 2) The most common etiology was milliary tuberculosis (38%), which was followed by, idopathic pulmonary fibrosis (27%), pulmonary fibrosis associated with collagen-vascular disease (15%), and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates by malignancy (10%). 3) Amon the connective tissue disease which was accompanied by the interstitial lung disease, rheumatoid arthritis was the most common disease (43%), systemic lupus erythematosus was the 2nd (28%), and progressive systemic sclerosis was the 3re (16%). 4) Among 101 cases of malignant disease, lung was the most frequent primary site (31%), which was followed by stomach (28%), thyroid (16%), and breast (6%). 5) For the diagnosis of the underlying disease of pulmonary infiltrates, the transbronchial lung biopsy was performed in 21% of the patients and open lung biopsy was done in 7%.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Korean medicine on a patient with dizziness due to hippocampal sclerosis. Methods: A 51-year-old woman with dizziness, diagnosed with hippocampal sclerosis, was treated with herbal medication, acupuncture, and moxibustion. Her improvement was evaluated by a balance test, NRS, and the percentage of dizziness severity compared to that on her admission day. Results: Improvement in the balance test result and NRS, and a decrease of percentage of dizziness severity, were observed after treatment with Korean medicine. Conclusions: This study suggests that treatment with Korean medicine may be an effective therapy for dizziness due to hippocampal sclerosis.

The chronic non-bacterial prostatis disease is relatively incurable, chronic and recurrent. Due to its prostatis barrier, chronic non-bacterial prostatis disease is difficult to be penetrated with Medicine. Nevertheless, we obtained the desired results using the method of iki action by Bojungiki-tang. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment and change of WBC numerical index using Bojungiki-tang. We investigated one chronic non-bacterial prostatis disease for about one year with NIH chronic prostatis symptom index, expressed prostatic secretion(EPS). After the treatment, symptom index score was decreased from 27 to 1. Also WBC numerical index by EPS test was decreased to zero. These results indicate that oriental medical therapy is effective in treating chronic non-bacterial prostatis disease. Therefore further study of the effect of herb-medicine is necessary.

Chemical pneumonitis induced by hydrocarbon aspiration is rare in Korea. Kerosene is a petroleum distillate with low viscosity and high volatility. We report two adult cases of chemical pneumonitis caused by the accidental aspiration of kerosene. They were treated successfully with antibiotics and systemic corticosteroids, and recovered without complications.
