처녀막 폐쇄증은 0.1%의 빈도를 가지는 드문 여성질환으로 초경이 시작된 후 처녀막 폐쇄로 생리혈이 저류되면서 하복부 통증, 변비, 1차성 무월경, 드물게 배뇨곤란, 무뇨증의 증상을 보인다. 일반적으로 요 체류(urinary retention) 증상은 대개 정신적 원인, 약물에 의한 원인, 감염이나 선천성 기형 등에 의한 급성 요 폐색이 주된 원인이며 본 증례와 같이 처녀막 폐쇄로 요 폐색이 생기는 경우는 드물다. 저자들은 급성 요 체류 증상으로 내원하여 당시 급성 요폐색이 의심되었으나 처녀막 폐쇄증으로 진단되었던 증례를 경험하였다. 자세한 병력 청취 및 외부 성기의 진찰이 오진과 치료의 지연을 막을 수 있다는 것을 다시 확인할 수 있었다.

A 8-month-old, spayed female, Domestic shorthair cat lived in a shelter was presented with pelvic limbs ataxia and dysuria. Serum biochemical profile abnormalities were hyperproteinemia and decreased albumin/globulin (A:G) ratio (0.70). Results of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis were mixed cells pleocytosis with predominance neutrophils and an increase in protein concentration. In addition, feline coronavirus was detected by realtime RT-PCR in CSF. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings revealed lesions of the lumbar spinal cord. Based on clinical signs, MR finding, CSF analysis and realtime RT-PCR result in CSF, this case was diagnosed as feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) associated meningomyelitis. Although prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil were administrated, clinical signs were not resolved and progressed to tetraplegia and coma status. This case presentation describes that feline infectious peritonitis virus could affect the lumbar spinal cord only and cause meningomyelitis with pelvic limbs ataxia without other neurological signs.

Multiple Myeloma is malignant tumor that malignant proliferous plasma cell to originate from bone marrow invades bone multiply. Objectives : Therapy for Multiple Myeloma includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy and self-stem cell transplantation, but it has no effect for a majority of Multiple Myeloma patients. So we diagnosed it as Wei symptom, oliguria, or dysuria(遺尿) in Oriental medicine, and treated it using the Oriental medical system. Methods : The patient was treated using acupuncture, electroacupuncture, herbal acupuncture treatment, moxibustion, physical treatment and western medicine. We observed 12 kinds of symptoms in the patient when admitted to the hospital. Results : 1. Paraplegia, urination desire, voluntary urination, and other symptoms improved except for a period of complication. 2. Defecation desire, sensory disturbance of the body and lower extremities, self-made changes, maintenance of body posture, and other symptoms improved during admitting days. 3. Voluntary defecation, pains of the neck and lower extremities, and other symptoms had irregular changes during admitting days. Conclusions : This study demonstrates the necessity of having more clinical study about Mutiple Myeloma.

This case study reports on the effect of Korean medicine on a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. An 83-year-old man diagnosed with stroke had dysuria, and it was found that an indwelling urinary catheter led to CAUTI. From laboratory tests, we identified multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and applied Korean medicine to him. After herbal medication with acupuncture and moxibustion, we studied a urinalysis and urine culture again for follow-up. We found meaningful improvement in bacteriuria and bacterial identification. This case suggests that Korean medicine could have a beneficial effect on urinary tract infections caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The dried roots of Rehmannia glutinosa (RG) have been used in the traditional medicine for treatment of diabetes, fever and dysuria, etc. In order to investigate the quality evaluation of the dried roots of RG, we conducted the physico-chemical and biological evaluation method. The amount of catalpol from commercial samples is very diverse about $0.00{\sim}3.89%$ by using HPLC method, because it is easily decomposed by processing of RG. So, we should try to identify the correlation with the contents of catalpol and biological activities of RG. We chose 3 samples which were a wide difference of catalpol contents between each sample (Sample-I; 3.4%, Sample-II; 2.8%, Sample-III; 0.05%). Sample-I and Sample-II were found to be more effective than Sample-III on the DPPH free radical scavenging effect and inhibitory effect on $H_2O_2-catalyzed$ lipid peroxidation in rat liver in vitro. And, Sample-I and Sample-II exhibited more significant effects than Sample-III on accelerating actions of the small and large intestinal transport, and diuretic action in mice. So, it is suggested that the quantitative determination of catalpol should be required for the tandardization of the dried roots of RG.

복압성 요실금에 동반되는 다양한 방광 자극증상은 빈뇨, 잔뇨감, 야간뇨, 절박뇨, 절박성 요실금, 배뇨통의 순이었으며, 이 증상들의 복합 정도가 많으면 삶의 질에 영향을 주고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 마이크로칩을 이용한 전기자극기는 특별한 부작용 없이 환자의 만족도가 높은 치료기로 생각되었으며, 복압성 요실금과 동반되는 야간뇨, 배뇨통 등의 방광 자극증상을 경감시킴으로 인해 현재의 배뇨 상태가 일상생활에 미치는 영향을 감소시키는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

To make a objective diagnosis of Dam Hun(痰暈), we investigated the 63 patients with Dam Hun(痰暈) and 34 normal people as control group. we compared the thermal difference between Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Chung-wan(CV12 中脘), Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Gwan-won(CV4 關元) and we compared the thermal difference of Yang-mun(ST21 梁門), Chun_chu(ST25 天樞), Su-do(ST28 水道), too. All 63 patients had dizziness and GI trouble. They had the symptom - fatigue, nausea vomitting, head heaviness, indigestion, cold limbs, headache, heart burn, constipation, diarrhea, anorexia. And some had edema, numbness, insomnia, palpitation, facial flushing, dysuria, ringing. Considering the average temparature of Chon-jung(CV17 ), Chung-wan(CV12 中脘), Gwan-won(CV4 關元), Yang-mun(ST21 梁門), Chun-chu(ST25 天樞), Su-do(ST28 水道) between the patients group and the control group, the patients group were lower than the control group except for Chon-jung(CV17 ), Gwan-won(CV4 關元), but the statistical significance was not. Considering the thermal difference of Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Chung-wan(CV12 中脘), Gwan-won(CV4 關元), Yang-mun(ST21 梁門), Chun-chu(ST25 天樞), Su-do(ST28 氷道) between the patients group and the control group, the temparature deviation of Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Chung-wan(CV12 中脘), Chon-jung(CV17 ) and Yang-mun(ST21 梁門) was significant. We suggest that coldness of upper abdomen is significant in diagnosis of Dam Hun(痰暈).

Benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) is a common disease among male. However, its cause and treatment are not known and it is easy to relapse to the patients again after some treatment. Chinese has got an active research on BPH of traditional Chinese medicine. We researched the Chinese clinical papers from 2000 to 2014. After translating those papers, we analyzed total 45 papers by classifying those according to frequently used prescriptions, differentiation of symptoms, signs, addition and subtraction of each medicine and the quantity of frequently used medicines. Through this study it was to provide evidence in the diagnosis and treatment of BPH. The prescription of BPH was classified according to its stage. Mainly damp heat patterns(濕熱型) induce dysuria, Qi-stagnation and blood stasis patterns(氣滯血瘀型) induce pain, While Kidney deficiency patterns(腎虛型) induce sexual function disorder. This analysis report would be able to provide the basis of taking a research on BPH. In addition, it could be applied on a stereotype of BPH as well as a variety of symptoms with frequently used prescription and addition and subtraction of each medicine.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare symptoms, medical therapies, and nursing interventions with terminal cancer patients during the last four weeks of their lives in a hospice unit and general units. Method: For the descriptive survey study, data were collected by reviewing the medical records of 243 patients who died of terminal cancer at K hospital in Seoul. The data was analyzed by using Chi-square test and t-test. Result: The study findings are summarized as follows: There were higher frequencies in physical symptoms of constipation, itching sensation, pain, sleeping disturbance, soreness and dysuria for those patients in the hospice unit than those patient in general units. All emotional symptoms were recorded significantly higher for those patients in the hospice unit than those in general units. Regarding the major medical interventions, pain management was used more significantly for those patients in the hospice unit, but antibiotic therapy and resuscitation were used more significantly for those patients in general units. Conclusion: The hospice unit provided more comprehensive nursing interventions including psychological, spiritual, and family cares as well as physiological care for terminal cancer patients. The facts showed that those patients who would need hospice care in general units should be referred to the hospice unit at an appropriate time.
