Ulcerative colitis, a diffuse inflammatory disease of the mucosal lining of the colon and rectum, is characterized by bloody diarrhea that waxes and wanes without apparent cause. In oriental medicine, Jakyaktang has been used to treat the disease, diagnosed as Damp-Heat dysentery. We prescribed Jakyaktang-gamibang to two patients who had suffered from ulcerative colitis diagnosed as Damp-Heat dysentery. The two patients were treated with Jakyaktang-gamibang and improved in consciousness of symptoms. We suggest that oriental medicine therapy is effective for treatment of ulcerative colitis.

In western medicine, there are some reports about herbal medicine induced hepatitis, but in oriental medicine, there are few reports about that. We experienced one case of drug acute cholestatic-hepatitis in the treatment of oriental medicine for HNP. We treated the patient with acupuncture, physical therapy and herb medicine. The patient's symptoms improved after two weeks of treatment. In the course of treatment, the patient intermittently complained of general weakness, nausea, yellowish urin, dyspepsia, and abdominal discomfort. We recognized that total bilirubin(7.2mg/dl), direct bilirubin(5.5mg/dl), serum transaminase(AST 360U/L, ALT 354U/L), alkaline phosphatase(16.6 K/A), urobilinogen(++) and bilirubin(++) were elevated. We diagnosed drug induced hepatitis. We stopped giving herb medicine and began giving Saeng gan gunbi-tang and Injin-oryung-san. Saeng gan gunbi-tang and Injin-oryung-san have been used to treat hepatic disease and have been known to have beneficial effects. After 3weeks on medication, the clinical symptoms and liver function improved. So, we report this case to bring more attention to the safety and toxicity of herbal medicine.

A pancreatic pseudocyst is the most common cystic lesion in the pancreas. There are several treatment methods with variable results. Recently, conservative treatment has been preferred because it has fewer complications. In this case, a 37-year-old male patient had pancreatic pseudocysts with upper abdominal pain, left upper back pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and general weakness. We prescribed him Banchongsangamibang (蟠蔥散加味方). For about 1 year, he was treated with oriental medicine. All of his pancreatic pseudocysts disappeared on abdominal CT follow-up and the symptoms mostly subsided. There had been no recurrence of pancreatic pseudocysts on abdominal CT follow-up after 1 year.

Background/Aims Functional dyspepsia (FD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, and FD imposes social and economic burden worldwide. The aim of this study is to identify the prevalence and risk factors of FD in health check-up population in tertiary centers in Korea. Methods A nationwide multicenter prospective study was performed at 9 tertiary healthcare centers in Korea between September 2016 and June 2017. A total of 2525 subjects were investigated based on endoscopic findings and questionnaires with the Rome III criteria, and Helicobacter pylori serology (IgG). Results A total of 1714 subjects without organic disease were enrolled. The mean (${\pm}SD$) age was 51.5 (${\pm}12.7$) years, and 917 patients (53.5%) were female. The proportion of H. pylori seropositivity was 51.0% (874/1714). The prevalence of FD was 10.3% (176/1714), and the subtypes of postprandial distress syndrome alone, epigastric pain syndrome alone, and postprandial distress syndromeepigastric pain syndrome overlap were 4.8%, 3.0%, and 2.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that female gender (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.14-2.21) and education below college level (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.01-2.07) were related to FD. Multivariate analysis based on age 60 showed female gender as a significant (OR, 2.90; 95% CI, 1.06-7.94) factor in the group ${\geq}60$ years. Conclusions The prevalence of FD was 10.3% in the health check-up population in Korea. Female sex and education below college level were risk factors for FD. Female sex is a risk factor for FD in old age, underscoring the need for close attention in this age group.
