  • Acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP) is a disease characterized by an acute febrile onset, eosinophilia in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and a dramatic response to corticosteroids. Although many studies have reported a close relationship between direct cigarette smoking and AEP, few studies have identified an association between passive smoking and AEP. Here, we report a case of AEP in a 19-year-old female with cough, fever, and dyspnea after 4 weeks of intense exposure to secondhand smoke for 6 to 8 hours a day in an enclosed area.

  • The occurrence of polyneuropathy in association with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is quite common. However, reports of MGUS associated cranial neuropathies are rare. A 63 year-old women was presented with diplopia and swallowing difficulty. Neurological examination showed limitation of abduction of right eye, right peripheral facial palsy, decreased hearing and gag reflex, left side deviation of uvula, and decreased DTR. Sensorimotor polyneuropathy were observed with elctrophysiological studies. Protein and immunoelectrophoresis revealed IgG ${\kappa}$monoclonal gammopathy. She was treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and steroid, and her symptoms and signs were improved. This case suggested that she had sensorimotor polyneuropathy and multiple cranial neuropathies associated with IgG ${\kappa}$MGUS.

  • Objective : This study was conducted to examine the scope and learning objective of Medical classics in the field of the education of Korean Medicine. Method : This study was analyzed and figured out list of classes which was taken by department of medical classics in eleven College of Korean Medicine and one school of Korean Medicine. Results & Conclusions : 1. Now, 14 subjects out of 16 subjects which were taken by whole department of medical classics in Korea can be a proper area of education of medical classics. Now, Hwangjenaekyung and Nangyeong are the only aim of the lessons at the medical classics. Therefore, we present to modify the aims inclusively. 2. The subject of the class have to change as follows. 'Wonjeon' changes into 'Hwangjenaekyung', 'Medical Chinese character' changes into 'Korean medical chinese character', 'medical informatics' changes into 'korean medical informatics'. 3. As we consider the condition that 'Nangyeong' is educating in just four departments of medical classics, we have to discuss about the stature of Nangyeong and to extend education of Nangyeong. 4. In the department of medical classics, we can improve the level of understanding and reading skills by educating the class of 'Sanghanron' and 'Donguibogam'. 5. This study is actively involved in trying to include 'Korean Medical Informatics' and 'Korean medical terminology ' in the education field of the medical classics.
