  • Objectives: This study investigated the effect of complex Korean medicine treatment on decreased mental status in a progressive supranuclear palsy patient with a cerebrovascular accident. Case presentation: The patient was treated with Korean medicine composed of herbal medicine (modified Guibi-tang), acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping combined with Western medicine (a dopamine precursor and an anticholinergic) and physical therapy. The Glasgow Coma Scale, Mini-Mental State Examination, and Hoehn and Yahr Scale were used to evaluate the effects of the treatments. After treatment, Glasgow Coma Scores increased from 9-10 to 12-13, and Mini-Mental State Examination for dementia screen scores increased from 1 to 2. The Hoehn and Yahr score remained at 5. There were no side effects of the treatment. Conclusion: This study suggests that complex Korean medicine treatments may be effective for the decreased mental status of a progressive supranuclear palsy patient with a cerebrovascular accident, but further studies are needed.

  • Objective: Hyperlipidemia is a main risk factor of stroke and cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate characteristics of hyperlipidemia in adult subjects. Methods: Hyperlipidemia-related makers were analyzed using biochemical data from 1,180 (496 male and 684 female) subjects who took medical examination in an Oriental Hospital for the purpose of detecting cerebrovascular accident. Results: 19.7 % of subjects (male 14.7 %, female 23.2 %) had hypercholesterolemia while 21.9 % (male 25.8 %, female 19.0 %) had hypertriglyceridemia. 17.2 % of subjects (male 22.1 %, female 13.6 %) showed low HDL-cholesterol while 13.0% (male 10.3 %, female 14.9 %) showed high LDL-cholesterol. Conclusions: This study will provide helpful information for patients with hyperlipidemia and to develop therapeutics using traditional Korean medicine.
