5살의 수컷 치와와가 상악골의 극세포 유래 치은종양의 치료를 위해 플로리다 수의과 대학의 한방 진료과를 내원하였다. 환자를 위해 한약요법과 함께 한달 간격으로 침술요법을 적용하였다. 침자리와 한약은 환자의 한방적인 진단에 근거하여 선택되었다. 사용된 침자리는 족삼리(ST36), 퓽흉(ST40), 공손(SP4), 삼음교(SP6), 비수(BL20), 위수(BL21), 태충(LIV3), 백회(GV20)이었고, 한약으로는 내소환(內消丸: Nei Xiao Wan)과 사군자탕(四君子湯: Si Jun Zi Tang)을 사용하였다. 침술요법과 한약을 적용한지 1년 후 관찰한 결과 극세포 유래의 치은 종양이 현저하게 줄어든 것을 확인하였다. 이것으로 보아 개의 극세포유래 치은종의 치료에 있어 대체요법인 침술과 한약요법이 유용할 수 있다고 생각된다.

Objectives : This study was designed to compare the effects on Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(KWOMAC), 36-ltems Short-Form Health Survey(SF-36), Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and Nine Point Scale between 'Intramuscular Bee Venom Herbal Acupuncture' and 'Intracutaneous Bee Venom Herbal Acupuncture' in knee osteoarthritis patients for 4weeks. Methods : All the voluntary subject were diagnosed as knee osteoarthritis. Patients were randomly assigned either to two groups : Intramuscular bee venom herbal acupuncture treatment group(IM-BV group) or Intracutaneous bee venom herbal acupuncture treatment group(IC-BV group). The IM-BV group received bee venom herbal acupuncture intramuscularly on muscles closest to the pathologic site on ultrasonography. The IC-BV group received bee venom herbal acupuncture intracutaneously on $LE_{110}$, $LE_{201}$, $ST_{35}$, $ST_{36}$ and $LR_8$. Bee venom herbal acupuncture was applied twice a week for 4 weeks by an oriental medical doctor at Kyung-hee Oriental Medical Hospital. Both groups were checked of pathologic site by ultrasonography before treatment and follow up after four-week treatment. The patients were assessed by KWOMAC and SF-36 before and after four-week treatment. The changes in patients' pain was measured by VAS before treatment and after one-, two-, three- and four-week treatment. The patients' overall treatment outcome assesment was measured by Nine Point Scale after four-week treatment. Results : The results were as follows ; 1. The IM-BV group showed significant improvement on total, pain, stiffness and physical function in KWOMAC, and the IC-BV group showed significant improvement on total and physical function in KWOMAC after 4weeks compared to the pre-treatment. In KWOMAC, the IM-BV group showed more improvement on average compared to the IC-BV group, but there were no significant difference between two groups. 2. The IM-BV group showed significant improvement on VAS after one-week treatment. The IC-BV group showed significant improvement on VAS after two-week treatment. But there were no significant difference between two groups. 3. The IM-BV group showed significant improvement on physical functioning(PF) and bodily pain(BP) in SF-36, and the IC-BV group showed significant improvement on vitality(VT) and bodily pain(BP) in SF-36 after 4weeks compared to the pre-treatment. But there were no significant difference between two groups. 4. 88.2% of IM-BV group and 93.3% of IC-BV group graded their improvement as 'Fair' or better on Nine Point Scale. But there were no significant difference between two groups. Conclusions : This study suggests that in the treatment of knee osteoarthtitis patients, effects of 'Intramuscular Bee Venom Herbal Acupuncture' were not different from 'Intracutaneous Bee Venom Herbal Acupuncture' statistically. But both treatment showed effects on pain and physical function in knee osteoarthtitis patients.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate genetic toxicity of Cervi pantotrichum Cornu herbal acupuncture solution(CPCHA). Methods : In this study, a series of investigation have been carried out to analyze the effects of Cervi pantotrichum Cornu herball acupuncture solution(CPCHA) on colony forming ability of NIH3T3cells, Hela cells and adrenorectal coloncell for genetic toxicity test. Results and Conclusions : From the above results, it is suggested that Cervi pantotrichum Cornu herball acupuncture solution(CPCHA) was limited 0.5-10ug/ml by test. Cervi pantotrichum Cornu herball acupuncture solution(CPCHA) did not exert the protective role to the genetic toxicity in kinds of cell lines used in this study. From these results, Cervi pantotrichum Cornu herbal aqua-acupuncture solution needs further study to prove it's function in cell culture system.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to compare the improvement effects on lumbar spine herniation of nucleus pulpous between neighboring acupuncture points and neighboring-remote acupuncture points by bee venom herbal-acupuncture therapy. Methods : The 30 patients who had a diagnosis of lumbar spine herniation of nucleus pulpous were divided into two groups. Group A was 15 cases treated with bee venom herbal-acupuncture therapy on neighboring acupuncture points, group B was 15 cases treated on neighboring and remote acupuncture points. The two groups were also managed by moxibustion, physical theraphy and herbal medicine. The improvement effects between two groups was estimated by low back pain index and visual analogue scale(VAS) score after 10 days treatment. Results : After 10 days treatment. low back pain index and VAS score were significantly improved in both two groups, but there was no significantly difference between two groups in both low back pain index and VAS score. Conclusion : In this study, there were same effects between neighboring acupuncture points and neighboring-remote acupuncture points bee venom herbal-acupuncture therapy. But further studies are required to confirm the effect of these methods.
