A cutaneous adverse drug reaction (CADR) refers to an unexpected skin and mucosal reaction caused by drug administration. In the present case, a 65-year-old male presented with generalized itching and a maculopapular rash after taking Western medication, including anticonvulsants and a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). He was treated with Gamiseungmagalgeun-tang, a traditional Korean herbal medicine. After treatment, the patient's symptoms improved, without recurrence. Based on this experience, traditional Korean herbal medicine, including Gamiseungmagalgeun-tang, may be beneficial for improving symptoms of CADRs.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to describe the effects of traditional Korean medicine treatment on a patient with an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at the left basal ganglia, thalamus, and posterior limb of the internal capsule. Methods: The patient was treated with acupuncture, moxibustion, Hyangsayukgunja-tang, and Samul-tang-gami. The effect of these treatments were evaluated using the manual muscle test (MMT), modified Barthel index (MBI), and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Results: After the treatments, the patient's status improved, as shown by his MMT grade, which increased from 1/1 to 4/4. In addition, the patient's MBI score improved from 0 to 77, and his NIHSS score declined from 16 to 2. In addition, the patient's Levin tube and Foley catheter were removed. Conclusion: The results suggest that traditional Korean medicine may be effective in the treatment of patients with ICH.

Objectives: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication among stroke patients. The implication of DVT progressing into a fatal pulmonary embolism is one of the main reasons treatment cannot be delayed. However, when there is a contradiction for anticoagulants, such intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), it is difficult to determine the course of treatment. Our team reports a case with both acute DVT and ICH who improved with herbal medicine Hyulbuchuko-tang. Methods : A patient with a variety of thrombosis risk factors (atrial fibrillation, DVT, Cb-inf with intracranial hemorrhage due to thrombolytic complications) showed classic symptoms of DVT (pain, edema, discoloration), disorientation and chest discomfort. The patient was administered Hyulbuchuko-tang three times a day for 24 days without any anticoagulants. Conservative therapy including elastic stocking and leg elevation was co-administered. Laboratory tests and extremity vascular Doppler sonography were carried out 3 times during the treatment period. Results : After our treatment period, both popliteal vein DVT and calf vein DVT were not discovered by sonography, and thrombosis derived factors (eg. D-dimer, fibrinogen) decreased. There was no sign of edema or discoloration after treatment, and the patient no longer complained of leg pain, disorientation or chest discomfort. Conclusion : From these results, we suggest that there is a positive effect of Hyulbuchuko-tang on DVT. Hyulbuchuko-tang should be considered as a treatment option when western medical procedures are unavailable.

This study was performed in order to evaluate the neuroprotective effect of Boyanghwano-tang (BYT) water extract on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). ICH was induced by the stereotaxic intrastriatal injection of bacterial collagenase type IV in Sprague-Dawley rats. BYT was orally given once a day for 3 days after ICH. Hematoma volume and percentage edema were examined. As imflammatory markers, myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive neutrophils infiltration and iNOS expression in the peri-ICH regions were examined using immunohistochemistry. As cellular damage markers, c-Fos, Bax, and HSP72 positive cells in the peri-ICH regions were measured also. BYT significantly reduced the hematoma volume and percentage edema of the ICH-induced rat brain. In the peri-hematoma regions, BYT significantly reduced MPO-positive neutrophil infiltration and iNOS expression of the ICH-induced rat brain. Additionally, BYT significantly reduced c-Fos, Bax, and HSP72 positive cells in the peri-hematoma regions of the ICH-induced rat brain. These results suggest that BYT plays a neuroprotective role against ICH through suppression of inflammatory responses, apoptosis and cellular damage.

12세된 여자 환자에서 한국에서는 처음으로 심장-폐 동시이식이 성공적으로 이루어 졌다. 환아는 심실 중격결손증이 없는 폐동맥 폐쇄증으로 좌폐부전과 함께 우심실의존성 관상동맥혈류를 가지고 있었으며 개심술에 의한 일반적인 심장 수술은 불가능하였다. 장기 제공자는 9세된 남아로 교통사고에 의한 뇌출혈이 사망의 원인이었다. 심장폐이식은 1997년 4월 20일 이루어 졌다. 이식시 수술 방법은 소위 아리조나 방법으로 양측 폐문부를 환아의 횡격막 신경위로 놓는 방법을 사용하였는데 수술시 지혈에 큰도움이 되었다. 수술후 환자는 두가지 큰 합병증이 발생하였는데 하나는 발열이고 둘째는 기관 문합부위 협착을 들수가 있다. 수술후에 계속되었던 발열은 결핵약 투여후 극적으로 소실되었으며 기관 협착에 의한 호흡 곤란은 수술후 제 71일째 실시한 금속성 그물망에 의한 확장으로 치유 되었다. 환자는 수술후 7개월째 호흡 곤란은 보이지 않고 있으며 운동 및 일상 생활에 지장이 없이 양호한 상태로 지내고 있다.

Hemorrhage is a devastating type of stroke, accounts for 15-20% of all strokes. This disease can cause cognitive dysfunction with a very high mortality rate. Cupping therapy of Traditional Korean medicine has frequently been used to relieve a variety of diseases or clinical conditions, although not in the memory loss after hemorrhage. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of cupping therapy on learning and memory with Y-maze test, as well as its effects on different molecular changes in hippocampus following the induction of hemorrhage in rats. Cupping, using vacuum cupping machine, was applied at target area for 5 min daily for 7 consecutive days, commencing 1 day after brain impairment. As a result, induction of hemorrhage enhanced memory deficit, suppressed brain-derived neurotrophin factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus. Cupping treatment effectively reversed collagenase-induced cognitive impairment in SD rats which was represented by improvement of spontaneous alterations in Y-maze test. In addition, BDNF expression was enhanced after cupping therapy. The present results suggest that the therapeutic effects of cupping treatment after hemorrhage is involved in expression of BDNF.

고려대학교 구로병원에서는 1994년 8월부터 국내에서는 처음으로 새로운 이엽성 기계판막인 ATS(Advancing The Standard)을 이용, 21명의 환자에게 28개의 판막을 치환하였다. 환자는 평균연령 27세로 10명의 남자와 11명의 여자로 수술전후의 NYHA 기능적분류는 평균 2.9에서 1.4로 감소하였다. 심초음파상의 심박출 지수는 55.5에서 59.8으로 다소 상승하였다. 치환후 승모판 전후의 압력차는 양호하였으며,용혈 여부를 확인하기위한 LDH치는 다소 상승하였으나 임상적 중요성은 없었다. 판막과 관련된 합병증은 없었으며, 항응고제 투여와 관련된 뇌출혈이 1례 있었다. 사망례는 없었으며, 현재는 모든 환자에

자가 또는 이식혈관의 감염은 반복적인 파열 및 패혈증으로 인해 환자의 생명을 위협하는 심각한 질병이다. 대퇴동맥을 포함한 서혜부 감염이 생긴 경우 가장 성공적인 치료원칙은 감염된 조직의 광범위한 절제와 동맥재건술이다. 본원에서는 뇌동정맥루, 뇌출혈환자에서 대퇴동맥을 천자하여 시행한 혈관조영술후 패혈증을 동반한 감염된 가성동맥류가 발생하여 폐쇄공우회술을 이용하여 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

중국(中國) 장홍화(藏紅花)는 크로신과 카르티노이드,안토시아닌등의 성분함량으로 혈관질환 예방과 항암작용, 두뇌의 신경안정, 호르몬분비 및 학습증진에 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 장홍화는 중국의 고원지대에서 자생하는 것으로 생산량이 적어서 고가에 판매되고 있다. 비타민 C가 레몬보다 10배나 많이 함유되어 있는 중국유(中國柚)는 과피가 일반 감귤류 보다 10배 이상 두꺼워 비타민P가 다량으로 함유되어 있다. 즉, 유기산, 비타민P와 비타민C가 매우 많이 함유되어 있어서 예로부터 중국에서는 감기와, 피부노화, 피로를 방지하는데 사용되어져 왔다. 그밖에 비타민B군과 당질, 단백질등이 다른 감귤류 품종보다 많고, 모세혈관을 보호하는 헤스페리딘(비타민P)이 다량으로 함유되어 있어서 심혈관 질환 장애와 뇌졸증, 뇌출혈 등을 억제하는 효과를 가지고 있다. 또한 몸 안에 쌓여 있는 노폐물 등을 밖으로 배출시켜주는 효과가 양호하여 피부미용에 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 실험에서는 중국장홍화(中國藏紅花)와 유(柚)의 혼합추출액 의 항산화활성과 총폴리페놀 함량을 조사하였던 바, 중국(中國) 장홍화(藏紅花)의 경우 폴리페놀 함량이 높게 나타났으며, 매우 양호한 항산화 효능을 나타내었다. 중국유(中國柚)의 경우도 과피에서 폴리페놀 함량이 높게 나타났으며 항산화 활성도 과피에서 매우 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 중국(中國) 장홍화(藏紅花)와 중국유(中國柚)의 혼함추출액에서의 항산화 효과가 더 양호한 반응을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들로 미루어볼 때 중국장홍화(中國藏紅花)와 유(柚)의 항산화 활성은 천연화장품의 신소재로서의 가치를 가지고 있다고 판단된다.

Objective : Hemophilia, a genetically determined disorder, is characterized by abnormality of the coagulation mechanism due to functional deficiency of a specific factor, namely VIII or IX. In this study, the effect of Dong-Si acupuncture therapy on the cerebral hemorrhage patient with hemophilia was evaluated. Methods : We treated him with acupuncture by stimulating Dong-Si acupuncture point(Yuk Wan) and assessed the effect by using manual dynamic evaluation of MRC(Medical Research Council) and Modified Barthel Index. Results : After treatment, the bleeding tendency was grossly reduced and bleeding lesion was absorbed gradually. And manual dynamic evaluation of the upper extremity increased from 4 grade to 5 grade. Conclusions : This result suggest that Dong-Si acupuncture therapy on the cerebral hemorrhage patient with hemophilia was effective. And futher studies are required to concretely prove the effectiveness of Dong-Si acupuncture therapy for treating hemorrhagic diseases.
