1. Objectives This study evaluates the effect of oriental medical treatment on a chronic sinusitis patient. 2. Methods The patient was teated with acupuncture, nasal cavity irrigation, and Yangdokbackho-tang(陽毒白虎湯). Previous western medical methods were excluded in order to provide therapeutic methods different from pre-existing ones because we needed different, long-term treatment plan from previous treatment. We applied acupuncture 15 times during treatment period and instructed the patient to carry out nasal cavity irrigation at home. 3. Results & Conclusions Combined application of oriental treatment including administration of Yangdokbackho-tang and nasal irrigation showed remarkable clinical effects on symptom, physical examination and radiological finding.

A one-year-old, intact male, 24 kg, mixed breed dog was referred to the Animal Medical Center, Iksan, Chonbuk, Korea for treatment of a gunshot wound to the head. Physical examinations revealed bilateral nasal bleeding and open-mouth breathing. Radiographic examination showed fracture of the right maxilla bone and multiple fractures of the nasal bone. A $1cm{\times}1cm{\times}1.8cm$ region of mineral opacity material was observed in the right-cranial ventralnasal cavity and a $6mm{\times}6mm{\times}9mm$ region of mineral opacity material was present in the left-cranial dorsal-nasal cavity. The surgical procedure involved removal of bone fragments and the lodged bullet as well as the installation of three intraosseous wires. At two weeks after surgery, the patient exhibited no complications and had a good prognosis.

Velopharyngeal Insufficiency(VPI); the failure of velum, the lateral wall and the posterior pharyngeal wall to separate the nasal cavity from pharyngeal cavity during speech, can be caused by congenital conditions include cleft palate, submucous cleft palate and congenital palatal insufficiency. Speech problems of VPI are characterized by hypernasality, nasal air emission, increased nasal air flow and decreased intelligibility. These speech problems of VPI can be treated with the surgical procedure, the application of temporary prosthesis and speech therapy. Biofeedback technique with Nasometer is a speech treatment method of VPI that commonly used as one component of a comprehensive procedure for improvement of speech in patients with VPI. In this article describes a case of VPI treated by biofeedback technique with Nasometer; which showed satisfactory result in nasalance and formant analysis after the speech therapy during 9 months.

VPI occurs when the velum and lateral and posterior pharyngeal wall fail to separate the nasal cavity from the oral cavity during deglutition and speech. There are a number of congenital and acquired conditions which result in VPI. Congenital conditions include cleft palate, submucous cleft palate and congenital palatal insufficiency (CPI). Acquired conditions include carcinoma of the palate or pharynx and neurologic disorders. The speech characteristics of VPI is characterized by hypernasality, nasal air emission, decreased intraoral air pressure, increased nasal air flow, decreased intelligibility. VPI can be treated with various methods that include speech therapy, surgical procedures to reduce the velopharyngeal gap, speech aid prosthesis, and combination of surgery and prosthesis. This article describes four cases of VPI treated by speech aid prosthesis and speech therapy with satisfactory result.

Nosocomial infection and community-acquired infection with Staphylococcus aureus, especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), has become a strong concern in human body sites and related effects. The aim of this study is investigate the isolation rate of MRSA from nasal cavity inferior regions and cellular phones to assess the risk factor of nosocomial infection and community-acquired infection. 34.7% and 37.2% isolates were MRSA from the nasal cavity inferior regions and cellular phones according to a Mannitol salt agar (added oxacillin $6{\mu}g/mL$) culture and PCR according to S. aureus specific 16S rRNA and mecA primers. Thus, the distribution of S. aureus and the isolation rate of MRSA represent a very high risk factor regards nosocomial infection and community-acquired infection.

Atrophic rhinitis (AR) is the one of important respiratory diseases and causes severe economic losses in pig industry. Severe attempts have been made to reduce the economic losses by preventing the disease. One of the methods is the spraying of antibiotics into nasal cavity of piglets. Recently, the efficacy of the spraying with kanamycin and gentamicin was reduced in the Korean swine industry. Therefore, the preventive methods have been required to be changed based on the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of causative agents of swine AR. Based on the current situations of this disease, Bordetella (B.) bronchiseptica and Pasteurella (P.) multocida 4D were isolated from pigs with clinical signs of AR. The isolation rates of B. bronchiseptica and P. multocida 4D were 58.5% and 32.9%, respectively. In the antimicrobial susceptibility test, the bacteria were resistant to kanamycin and gentamicin which have been used as the spraying agents, but they were susceptible to amikacin. A new spraying agent was developed using amikacin using ${\beta}$-glucan and yakbaltag as supplementary agents. Field efficacy of the agent was carried out with different schedule. The results from this study suggested that the newly developed spraying agents might be helpful to prevent AR in swine.

A Miniature Schnauzer presented with bilateral mucopurulent nasal discharge and sneezing. Computed tomography of the skull revealed exudates in the nasal cavity and frontal gyrus. Nasal swab cytology showed features of an epithelial-origin tumor. Histopathologic evaluation of the biopsy specimen revealed irregular proliferation of epithelial cells and necrotized tissue. Positive immunohistochemical staining confirmed the epithelial origin of the cells. The dog was diagnosed with nasal carcinoma and was treated with a chemotherapy protocol of carboplatin and piroxicam. This report confirms the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy only without radiotherapy in a dog with nasal carcinoma and provides a guideline for providing alternative treatment.

Purpose: Nasal packing materials are almost inserted at the end stage of closed reduction of nasal bone for postoperative bleeding control and stabilization of nasal bone. Conventionally, vaseline gauze was used for packing of nasal cavity. These days, Surgeons have tried to apply $Merocel^{(R)}$ into the nasal cavity more easily. It is difficult for patients to continue keeping the nasal packs for more than a week due to breathing difficulty. Moreover, nasal packing itself can also cause headache, dry mouth, stuffiness, etc. Methods: We performed a prospective study from March 1, 2008 to July 31, 2008. One hundred patients were divided into "$Merocel^{(R)}$ packing group" and "$Merocel^{(R)}$ and Airway Tube $Merocel^{(R)}$ packing group". Using two kinds of materials to each group after closed reduction, we observed and compared the amount of bleeding between two groups. We recorded patient's uncomfortable symptoms which were divided into four groups each 6, 24, 48 hours after nasal packing. Results: The result of the bleeding amount of Air Tube $Merocel^{(R)}$ group after 6 hours of nasal packing is that 3 people belong to mild group, 38 people moderate group, and 9 people severe group. After 6 hours of nasal packing, 11 patients have no complains. 16 patients were mild, 21 patients were moderate, 2 patients were severe. After 24 hours of nasal packing, no complain(18 patients), mild(24 patients), moderate(6 patients), severe(0 patient). After 48 hours of nasal packing, no complain(25 patients), mild(20 patients), moderate(5 patients), severe(0 patient). Conclusion: Regarding the amount of bleeding, there are no difference between two groups. In case of Air Tube $Merocel^{(R)}$ group, patient's discomfort is gradually improved after 24 hours of nasal packing, After 48 hours of nasal packing, most of the patients do not experience headache, dry mouth, stuffiness, etc. Therefore, Air Tube $Merocel^{(R)}$ can be useful for bleeding control. Moreover, it helps patients to breathe through nose more easily and reduce discomfort.

Deviated nose is highly challenging in rhinoplasty since the surgeon should consider both aesthetic and functional aspects of the nose. Deviated nose correction is surgically complex, and a thorough understanding of the mechanical and physiological changes of intranasal structures, including the septum and turbinates, is necessary for functional improvement.
