Aortic disease usually recurs after aortic surgery in the form a new aneurysm distal to the previous operation site, and finding a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer proximal to the previous operation site has rarely been reported. We report here on a case of successful patch repair of a ruptured penetrating ulcer in the distal aortic arch, and this developed late after replacement of the descending thoracic aorta.

The aim of the study was to observe the influence and related mechanism of rebamipide on the intestinal contraction. Intestinal contraction includes the activation of thick or thin filament regulation. However, there are few reports addressing the question whether this regulation is involved in rebamipide-induced regulation. We hypothesized that rebamipide plays a role in intestinal contraction evoked by carbachol in rat intestine. Interestingly, rebamipide alone didn't inhibit and rather slightly increased the contraction in the denuded muscle. Therefore, rebamipide alone and together with indomethacin increases the ileal contraction suggesting that additional pathways might be involved in the regulation of ileal contractility. In conclusion, rebamipide has some effect on the regulation of contractility and anti-ulcer by NSAIDs.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are known to have hypercoagulability and an increased risk for venous thromboembolism. The deep veins of the lower extremities and the pulmonary veins are the most common sites of thrombosis in ulcerative colitis. However, hepatic vein thrombosis (Budd-Chiari syndrome) is a very rare extra-intestinal complication of ulcerative colitis in children. We describe a case of hepatic vein thrombosis in a 15-year-old girl with ulcerative colitis who presented with abdominal pain and hematochezia. Doppler ultrasonography and an abdominal CT scan revealed the characteristic filling defects caused by large thrombi in both hepatic veins. These lesions were successfully treated with conventional management for ulcerative colitis and anticoagulation therapy.

On May in 2008, mortality of anadromous Ayu Plecoglossus altivelis was observed on the Gangjeong river in Jeju. Major symptoms of the infected fish were mouth rot and skin ulcer. The causative agent was suspected as gliding bacteria. After culture on Shu-Shott and R2A media, we isolated bacterium belonging to the Flavobacterium from ayu with symptoms. As a result, the bacterium was identified as Flavobacterium succinicans JMFL55 by 16S rDNA sequence alignment with F. succinicans DSM 4002(98.27% similarity, GenBank accession NO. AM230492).

Bacterial canker of Japanese apricot (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) was found in all orchards located at southern area of Korea. Typical symptoms were characterized by dark spots formed on fruits, brown lesions on leaves, and bacterial exudate oozed out of the cracked bark of diseased tree. Thirty-eight isolates from 16 different areas were identified on the basis of biochemical and physiological characteristics (LOPAT and GATTa test) and also on the basis of 165 rDNA and ITS sequences. Pathogenicity tests confirmed that bacterial canker of Japanese apricot in Korea is caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. morsprunorum.

저자 등은 일련의 식물엑스에 대하여 항위염 및 항궤양효능에 관한 검색을 실시하여 오리나무수피의 MeOH엑스가 현저한 효과가 있음을 예지 하였으므로 그에 대하여 보다 구체적인 실험을 실시하였다. 즉 MeOH엑스를 Hexane, CMCl$_3$, BuOH로 계통적으로 추출하여 상기의 분획 및 잔사인 물분획을 제조하여 이에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 소화성궤양이 공격인자와 방어인자의 불균형에 의해 형성됨을 Shay가 주장함으로써 공격인자의 억제를 알아보기 위한 Mizui 등의 방법인 HClㆍEtOH 유발 위손상 실험과 Guth 등의 Aspirin 위손상 실험 방법에 따라서 위 손상정표를 관찰하였다. Shay의 방법에 따라서 위궤양 모텔은 유문을 결찰하고 검체를 십이지장내에 투여하고 처치를 완료하고 12시간 후에 궤양정도와 또한 4시간의 유문결찰에 의한 위액분 비량, pH 및 산분비량에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 또 염산과 pepsin 등에 의한 점막 손상에 대한 방어인자의 증강요인인 위 mucous membrane의 mucus분비를 알아보기 위한 absoluteㆍ에탄올 위손상에 대한 예방효과 시험을 시행하였다. 이 실험의 결과, 오리나무 MeOH엑스의 항위염 및 항위궤양효과는 BuOH 분획에서 강력한 작용이 있었으며 이 분획은 aspirin 유발 위손상 및 shay 궤양에 효과를 나타내었고 또한 mucin량의 증가를 보여주었다. 그러나 이 분획은 위액, pH 및 산분비량에 영향을 나타내지 아니하였다.

당뇨병환자에서의 감염증은 인슐린과 항균제의 사용으로 그 이환율과 사망률이 현저히 감소하였으나, 현재까지 당뇨병환자의 진료에 있어서 해결해야 할 중요한 문제로 남아있다. 당뇨병환자에서 감염증의 발생빈도는 대부분 일반인과 차이가 없다고 보고되고 있으나 일부 특정 감염증의 빈도는 현저하게 증가하고 감염증의 정도가 훨씬 심하며, 임상양상도 정상인과 다른 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 인플루엔자, 세균뇨, 악성 외이도염, 비뇌모균증, 기종성 담낭염, 기종성 신우신염 또는 방광염, 급성 신유두괴사, 신주위 농양, 진균성 요로 감염증, 그람 음성균에 의한 폐렴, 괴사성 연조직 감염과 족부 궤양 관련 감염증 등은 당뇨병과의 관련성이 이미 입증된 감염질환들이다. 당뇨병 환자에서 감염증의 발생빈도는 약 14.4%에서 39.5%까지 보고되고 있으며, 국내에서는 폐결핵 20%, 요로 감염 20%, 폐렴 16%, 진균감염 7.6%, 균혈증 6.2%, 족부 궤양 관련 감염증 5.5%의 순으로 보고되고 있다. 당뇨병환자가 감염증에 대한 원인에 대해서는 확실히 밝혀지지는 않았지만 탈수, 영양실조, 다형 백혈구의 기능 장애, 혈액 순환장애 및 신경병증 등으로 설명되고 있다. 특히 당뇨병환자에서는 미세 혈관병증과 죽상경화증이 흔히 발생하기 때문에 각 조직으로의 혈액 공급이 감소되어 각 장기 조직에서는 정상적인 영양 및 산소 공급과 적절한 면역 반응을 유지하는 것이 어려워 결과적으로 감염증에 걸리기 쉽다. 이 글에서는 여러 가지 감염증 중 족부 궤양 감염증, 기종성 신우신염, 비대뇌모균증, 간농양에 대해 사례를 중심으로 알아보겠다.

Objectives: This study analyzes domestic research trends on herbal medicine treatments for ulcerative colitis (UC) by examining 28 selected domestic papers using the Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching System (OASIS) as the main search source. Methods: A total of 28 domestic papers were selected on the OASIS platform as the main search source using the keywords "(궤양성 대장염) or (궤양성 대장병)" and "(한약) or (한의학)". Results: There were 11 case report studies and 17 case-control studies published from 2002 to 2022. All the case-control studies only dealt with mice and did not include human subjects. The most common pathologies were damp heat and Changpung. Hwangryunhaedok-tang was the most frequently prescribed herbal formula, and Coptidis Rhizoma was the most commonly used herb across all studies. The results showed that many studies demonstrated the significant effects of herbal treatment. Conclusion: Herbal medicine may exhibit therapeutic effects on various aspects of UC. However, evidence-based studies, such as clinical trials involving human subjects, are needed.

The majority of chronic gingival ulcerative lesions are known to be due to autoimmune disease such as oral lichen planus, benign mucous membrane pemphigoid or pemphigus vulgaris. Topical or systemic corticosteroids are mainly used and adjuvant drugs like immunosuppressant, anti-inflammatory drugs, antimalarials or antimetabolites can also be prescribed. Because systemic corticosteroids causes various side effects, such as gastrointestinal disturbance, osteoporosis, diabetes or adrenal suppression. So, topical steroid therapy is main treatment for chronic gingival ulcerative lesion confined to small area. However, there's also limitation of topical corticosteroids. The effect of the corticosteroids decreases due to salivary flow and the movement of the tongue, lips, or buccal mucosa. When the lesions are widely distributed or positioned deeply in oral cavity, it is hard to apply the medication on patients' own. Moreover, it can be applied to unaffected mucosa. Although occlusive steroid therapy using stent was reported to minimize taking steroid and overcome the faults of applying topical steroids, it has been used less frequently in the clinical field. Therefore, this report is going to find out the usefulness and the way to utilize clinically through the case which acted satisfactorily by performing topical steroid therapy using stent on chronic ulcerative gingival lesions.

This experimental study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium hyaluronate(Aloclair$^{TM}$) in decreasing pain in orthodontic procedures. A total of 60 patients who were use Aloclair$^{TM}$ ordered to were included. These patients were categorized by 3 cases; 1. Patients who were bonded with their first brackets. 2. Patients who were in pain with additional appliance such as anchorage devices. 3. Patients who got ulcer caused by appliances. We collected information about pain and assessed it using visual analogue scale. According to questionnaire, it took 3.5 min. for pain to subside and pair relief durated for 2.7 hours. Most patients in the study reported rapid pain relief and found Aloclair$^{TM}$ easy and pleasant to use than wax. Accordingly Aloclair$^{TM}$ provided raid relief of resting and provoked ulcer pain.
