Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of Cheongshimyeonja-eum gagambang and Soyeom pharmacopuncture for nummular eczema patients. Methods : This study was conducted with three patients treated with nummular eczema at Cheonan Oriental Medical hospital of Daejeon university. All three patients were treated with Cheongshimyeonja-eum gagambang and Soyeom pharmacopuncture. For the evaluation of the results, we used Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) as an assessment methods and took photographs of the lesions for comparison. Results : After the medication, eczema lesions of the three patients were remarkably improved. The lesions were examined by the photographs and the VAS of pruritus and relating symptoms, Conclusions : This study suggests that Cheongshimyeonja-eum gagambang and Soyeom pharmacopuncture could show effectiveness on nummular eczema.

Disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) is a rare keratinization disorder. It is histopathologically characterized by the presence of coronoid lamellae and clinically by lesions showing central atrophy with elevated borders. Squamous cell carcinoma originating in the classical Mibelli subtype of porokeratosis is well-documented; however, few reports have described squamous cell carcinoma in DSAP lesions. We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with DSAP who developed Bowen's disease, actinic keratosis, and keratoacanthoma on her face.

Delayed anoxic encephalopathy after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is characterized by neurological deterioration that occurs after recovery from acute CO intoxication. There has been no established therapy. We report a patient recovered from acute CO intoxication developed various neurological symptoms. After the administration of high dose prednisolone and anticholinesterase inhibitor, the therapeutic effect was remarkable and confirmed by quantitative analysis of diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI). DTI could be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect for delayed anoxic encephalopathy after CO poisoning.

Carotid free-floating thrombus (FFT) is a rare cause of stroke. The FFT is commonly associated with an atherosclerotic plaque rupture, but other causes need to be examined in young patients. We report a case of 31-year-old male patient with recurrent ischemic stroke caused by carotid FFT. Although initial laboratory test was unremarkable, recurrent stroke events led us to perform additional study and antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS) was diagnosed. Repetitive testing for APLS seems considerable when young patients present with recurrent stroke.

Purpose: The use of anticonvulsants can cause side effects such as reduction of bone mineral density, requiring attention in growing children. The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of different anticonvulsants on bone mineral density in epileptic patients treated with monotherapy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 60 subjects who visited the Pediatric Epilepsy Clinic of Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital from January 2013 to December 2017. Bone mineral density was measured with dual photon absorptiometry every 6 months. Results: The number of patients treated with oxcarbazepine, valproate and levetiracetam was 31, 16 and 13, respectively. Reduction of bone mineral density was seen in 8 out of 31 patients (25.8%, P=0.10) treated with oxcarbazepine, 9 out of 16 patients treated with valproate (56.3%, P=0.04) and 4 out of 13 patients treated with levetiracetam (30.8%, P=0.50). Conclusion: There was a significant reduction of bone mineral density in patients treated with valproate compared to the other anticonvulsants in our study. We believe attention to bone mineral density is required in children treated with anticonvulsants.

Pancreatic cancer is well known to have a poor prognosis and poor responses to both of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. We report a metastatic pancreatic cancer treated successfully with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. A 71-year-old female with epigastric pain and weight loss was diagnosed as advanced pancreatic cancer with main vessels invasion and multiple mesenteric lymph node's metastasis. She was taken chemotherapy of gemcitabine single regimen and radiation therapy. Although she experienced one recurrence and concomitant primary lung cancer, she has survived for over 7 years with no symptoms. The authors report this case of long term survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer after chemoradiation therapy.
