This study was conducted with the purpose to evaluate the decreasing effect of the blood pressure on the hypertensive patients who were given to magnetic acu-point therapy. A single-blind, placebo-controlled trial by cross matching was conducted at Daejeon University Oriental Hospital. The washout periods of cross matching are 10 days. 22 hypertensive (systolic BP>140 mmHg or diastolic BP>90 mmHg) volunteers were recruited and treatments were donemagnetic acu-points on Oegwan(TE 5), Jogimeup(GB 41), Naegwan(PC 6), Gongson(SP 4), Hugye(SI 3), Sinmaek(BL 62).

The survival time of breast cancer patients with lung metastasis has been prolonged as treatment methods have improved. However, there is yet no definitive therapy for the additional symptoms of lung metastasis to improve the quality of life of these patients. We report a patient who was suffering from pleural effusion due to metastasized breast cancer. She was treated with Korean medicine, including herbal medicine (Bojungikgi-tang-gami), combined with hormone therapy, for two months. We assessed her other symptoms, such as shortness of breath, generalized weakness, and lower extremity swelling, using a numeric rating scale (NRS). We also evaluated pleural effusion with chest X-rays. Shortness of breath was maintained at NRS 5, generalized weakness was slightly improved from NRS 6~7 to NRS 7~8 (10=healthy condition), and lower extremity edema was improved from NRS 3 to NRS 2 (10=highest score of discomfort). Malignant pleural effusion was maintained during the admission period. This report suggests that Korean medicine can help to maintain malignant pleural effusion and improve additional symptoms of lung metastasis.
