Postoperative adhesive small bowel obstruction (ASBO) is an intractable disorder which sometimes leads to adhesiolysis or small bowel resection. These therapeutic reoperations, however, also have many limitations including complications. An 80-year-old female, who had undergone 4-abdominal surgeries, visited the hospital with continuous vomiting. Based on her clinical symptoms and history, multiple air-fluid levels and distention of the small bowel in an abdominal X-ray, we diagnosed her with postoperative incomplete ASBO. We conducted acupuncture and an herbal medicine enema to stimulate bowel movement and relieve pain. The patient came in complaining of abdominal pain and vomited more than 10 times on hospital day 0 stopping on hospital day 4. Comparing hospital day 0 with hospital day 4, the abdominal pain decreased from a numerical rating scale (NRS) 10 to 4. There were no side effects such as redness or burns during the treatment process. This study presented an acupuncture-based treatment will be helpful for clinicians managing cases of ASBO with poor performance in elderly individuals.

The objective of this study was to review clinical trials of pharmacopuncture treatment for Frozen Shoulder and to evaluate trends in this field. The literature search was performed using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and 5 Korean electronic databases. A combination of "pharmacopuncture," "acupoint injection," "Frozen Shoulder," "adhesive capsulitis," and "periarthritis of shoulder" search terms were used. A total of 9 studies were included in this review. The studies were classified into herbal extract-based (5 types) and animal-based (2 types) pharmacopuncture treatment of Frozen Shoulder. There were 14 different acupoints and Ashi points used in the 9 studies. The total volume of herbal extract-based pharmacopuncture injected was usually between 2 mL and 4 mL, and for animal-based pharmacopuncture it was 1 ml. In most studies of Frozen Shoulder, pain was reduced and function was significantly improved after pharmacopuncture treatment. These results demonstrate that pharmacopuncture alleviates pain and restores function in patients with Frozen Shoulder. Further studies must be conducted on pharmacopuncture for management of Frozen Shoulder.

배산성지 1호 집수지 내 출토 대나무 발의 안정적인 보존처리 수행으로 향후 안전한 관리와 가치 향상을 꾀하였다. 다양한 분석결과 발의 제작에 사용된 주재료는 대나무였으며, 초본류를 사용하여 대나무를 엮고 두 재료 간의 접착을 위해서 옻칠을 한 것으로 판단되었다. 블록 형태로 수습한 대나무 발은 세척 동안 흐트러지지 않도록 임시 석고틀을 제작, 결구하여 고착된 오염물과 흙을 모두 제거하고 개별로 분리하여 세척하였다. 이후 강화처리를 위해 PEG 함침법을 적용하였다. 예비실험결과를 바탕으로 건조과정 중 발생할 수 있는 유물의 손상을 방지하기 위해 스테인리스 고정틀로 형태를 고정한 후 진공동결건조를 실시하였다. 유물의 표면안정화를 위한 표면처리제는 PEG 20%(In Ethyl Alcohol)를 적용하였다. 표면처리 후 대나무발은 최대 길이에 맞춰 편을 접합하고 교란층과 같은 미상부재를 최대한 활용하여 결실부를 채워 배접방식으로 발의 형태를 최대한 복원하였다. 배접된 대나무발은 제작한 틀에 고정하여 보존처리를 완료하였다.
