Background: Few studies have investigated unspecified or idiopathic pain associated with COIVD-19. This study aimed to provide the incidence rates of unspecified pain and idiopathic pain in patients with COVID-19 for 90 days after COVID-19 diagnosis. Methods: A propensity score matched cohort was used, including all patients with COVID-19 in South Korea, and analyzed their electronic medical records. The control group consisted of those who had not had tests for COVID-19 at all. Unspecified pain diagnoses consisted of diagnoses related to pain included in the ICD-10 Chapter XVIII. Idiopathic pain disorders included fibromyalgia, temporomandibular joint disorders, headaches, chronic prostatitis, complex regional pain syndrome, atypical facial pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and interstitial cystitis. Results: After matching, the number of participants in each group was 7,911. For most unspecified pain, the incidences were higher in the COVID-19 group (11.7%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 11.0-12.5) than in the control group (6.5%; 95% CI, 6.0-7.1). For idiopathic pain, only the headaches had a significantly higher incidence in the COVID-19 group (6.6%; 95% CI, 6.1-7.2) than in the control group (3.7%; 95% CI, 3.3-4.1). However, using a different control group that included only patients who visited a hospital at least once for any reasons, the incidences of most unspecified and idiopathic pain were higher in the control group than in the COVID-19 group. Conclusions: Patients with COVID-19 might be at a higher risk of experiencing unspecified pain in the acute phase or after recovery compared with individuals who had not had tests for COVID-19.

Hemorrhagic cystitis refers to massive inflammation and the diffuse vesical bleeding of the bladder. In patients with hematuria complaining of dysuria and pain, it is necessary to differentiate various causes, including cystitis, nephritis, and prostatitis. After the diagnosis of hemorrhagic cystitis, antibiotics usually treat and prevent further urinary tract infections. In the present case, a 78-year-old female patient with hemorrhagic cystitis presenting with hematuria underwent Korean medical treatment with Jeoryeong-tang-hap-Samul-tang for 29 days. The effect of the treatment was assessed with the hematuria grading scale (HGS) per week, urinalysis per two weeks, and the NRS (numeric rating scale) of dysuria per day. After treatment, both HGS and NRS scores decreased, and protein, blood, and red blood cells (RBCs) in urinalysis improved. This case report suggests that Jeoryeong-tang-hap-Samul-tang might be an effective option for hemorrhagic cystitis patients who continuously take antiplatelets.

국내외 학술지중 배뇨장애에 대한 침치료의 연구 동향을 문헌고찰 연구, 생리적 기전 연구, 임상효과 연구로 나누어 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 23 편의 논문 중 review study가 3편, experimental study 6편, clinical study가 14 편이었다. 다양한 Journal에 발표되고 있었는데, review study는 모두 국내 학술지에 게재 된 논문이었고, 2000년 이후로 점차 연구의 양과 관심이 증대되고 있는 추세였다. 2. 배뇨장애는 하부요로증상의 다양한 증상을 포괄하는 것으로 한의학적인 측면에서는 융폐, 소편부금(小便不禁), 빈요(頻尿), 급박요(急迫尿), 요실금(尿失禁), 림증(淋證), 야뇨(夜尿), 난요(難尿), 점적요(點滴尿), 지연요(遲延尿)등에 해당하는데, 그 대부분의 유발 원인은 신기부족(腎氣不足)등의 하초허한(下焦虛寒)에 기인하는 것으로 판단되며, 간기울결(肝氣鬱結)등의 정서적 자극과 습열(濕熱) 및 어혈(瘀血)등의 원인에 의해서도 발생할 수 있다. 3. 배뇨장애에 대한 침구치료의 생리적 기전을 대략적으로 요약한다면 침자극에 의해 부교감 신경, 대뇌의 수면-각성 체계, 뇌교 및 척추 배뇨 센타, 음부신경/골반신경을 통해 방광에 영향을 주어 방광용량의 확장 또는 배뇨 수축의 억제작용을 하는 한편, 척추 환상 회로 나 신경연접부의 지속성 흥분을 통하여 요도주의 근육에 영향을 주는 것으로 생각되어 진다. 4. 배뇨장애에 대한 침구치료의 임상효과를 요약 한다면, 융폐, 소편부통(小便不通)에 속하는 신경인성 방광(Neurogenic Bladder), 소편부금(小便不禁), 빈요(頻尿), 급박뇨(急迫尿)에 해당하는 요실금(尿失禁)(Incontinence), 림증(淋證)에 해당하는 방광염(Cycitis), 액요(液尿) (Nocturnal Enuresis), 잡요(雜尿), 점적요(點滴尿), 지연요(遲延尿)에 해당하는 전립선염/골반통 증후군 (Prostatitis/Pelvic Pain Syndrom)등의 하부 요로증상에 침구치료는 유의미한 효과가 있다. 이상으로 국내 및 해외 연구는 최근들어 더욱 활발히 연구되고 있는데, 특히 해외연구는 배뇨 장애의 침구치료의 생리적 기전 분야에서 다양 하게 시도되고 있었다. 향후 고령화 사회로 진입 하는등 사회여건상 이와같은 다양한 배뇨장애 환자의 증가는 물론 치료욕구의 증대가 예상되는 바 이러한 생리적 치료기전의 연구 및 다양한 질환에 대한 임상연구를 시도함으로써 표준적인 치료기술의 개발이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

전립선 초음파영상은 전립선암, 전립선비대증, 전립선염을 진단하고 전립선암의 생검과 전립선비대에서 전립선 크기 확인 등을 위해서 사용된다. 전립선비대증은 노인 남성의 가장 흔한 질병 중의 하나이다. 전립선은 주변구역, 중심구역, 이행구역과 전방 섬유근 간질부분 4개 구획으로 나누어진다. 전립선비대증은 조직학적으로 전립선 이행구역에서 결절성 증식을 동반한 요도주위의 진행성 과증식이 특징으로 이 결절로 인한 요도 폐쇄를 야기함에 따라 하부요로 증상을 유발한다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 정상 전립선 이행구역 영상과 전립선비대 이행구역 영상에 대한 컴퓨터 알고리즘을 이용하여 정량적인 분석을 하였다. GLCM을 적용하여 정상영상 60증례와 전립선비대증영상 60증례을 분석영역($50{\times}50$ 픽셀)으로 설정하고, 각 영상에서 Autocorrelation, Contrast, Cluster Prominence, Entropy, Max Probability, Sum average 6가지 파라미터를 비교하여 분석하였다. 결과적으로 Autocorrelation, Cluster Prominence, Entropy, Sum Average 4개의 파라미터에서는 병변의 질감 검출 효율이 92-98%로 높게 나왔다. 이에 전립선 이행구역의 결절성 증식 변화를 정량적인 영상분석으로 확인 할 수 있었다. 향후 전립선비대증 진단에 있어 2차적인 수단으로 가능할 것으로 기대되며, 다양한 전립선 초음파 영상에 있어 기초 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.
