Objectives : Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract was identified mainly for diarrhea, stomachache, hemafecia. The source and pathologic mechanism about ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease are still unknown but stress, infection, a genetic factor, environmental factors etc. may be the cause of chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract recently. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of herbal acupuncture with Artemisiae Argyi for the treatment to intestinal disease in the rat with 2, 4, 6 - trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis. Methods : Artemisiae Argyi Herbal acupunctures were infected in HapGok (LI4) which is used to treat for intestinal disease in clinic. All animals were subjected to the injection of saline (300 ${\mu}l$, 500 ${\mu}l$) for a study control and TNBS (300 ${\mu}l$, 500 ${\mu}l$) into the lumen of the colon, 8cm proximal to the anus through the intestine. Artemisiae Agryi' Herbal (20 mg/ml, 0.4 ml) acupunctures were injected to the LI4 (both hands) at the secondary injection time of TNBS in rats. And body weight, RBC count, WBC count, total protein, Paw edema rate, rate of protein leakage into CMC-pouch fluid, IgG levels and IgM levels were observed to study the effects of Artemisiae Argyi' Herbal acupuncture in HapGok (Ll4). Results : Artemisiae Argyi' Herbal acupuncture in HapGok (Ll4) on TNBS-induced colitis inhibit the body weight lose rate but not RBC and WBC count. Furthermore, it inhibited the reduction of total protein concentration, paw edema, rate of protein leakage into CMC-pouch fluid, IgG levels and IgM levels. Conclusions : Herbal acupuncture with Artemisiae Argyi helps recover the TNBS-induced colonic damage and may be an important method for treatment of the colitis.

좌심실 판막질환에 동반한 삼첨판패쇄부전증은 주 병소에 따른 2차적 병소로 생각되어 왔다. 그러나 좌심실 주 병소의 성공적인 수술 이후에도 삼첨판패쇄부전증이 호전되지 않고, 심기능 부전의 원인이 된다는 보고가 있다. 현재까지 좌심실 판막질환에 2차적으로 발생한 삼첨판패쇄부전증의 경과를 예측할 수 있는 인자는 확립되어 있지 않으며, 수술 적응증 또한 명확하게 확립되어 있지 않다. 저자들은 폐동맥압과 좌심실구출률, 삼첨판륜성형술이 삼첨판패쇄부전증의 경과에 미치는 영향을 확인하고, 좌심실 판막질환의 수술 시 동반한 삼첨판패쇄부전증의 정확한 수술 적응증을 확립하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 저자들은 삼첨판패쇄부전증을 동반한 좌심실 판막질환으로 수술을 받았던 환자들 중 1년 이상 심초음파 검사로 추적 검사를 시행하였던 114명 환자의 의무기록을 조사하였다. 모든 증례는 심초음파 소견으로 삼첨판패쇄부전증 정도, 폐동맥압, 좌심실구출률을 구하였으며, 각 결과를 수술 전과 최종 추적관찰 값을 비교하였다. 결과: 총 114예의 환자중 삼첨판륜성형술을 시행하였던 43예에서는 삼첨판패쇄부전증의 정도가 호전된 경우가 42예(97.7%)였으나, 삼첨판패쇄부전증에 대한 시술을 시행하지 않았던 71명의 환자에서는 호전이 29예(41%), 변화없음이 32예(45%), 악화가 10예(14%)로 두 군 간에 통계적인 차이를 보여주고 있었다(p<0.05). 삼첨판패쇄부전증에 대한 수술을 하지 않았던 군에서 삼첨판패쇄부전증이 악화된 환자들과 악화되지 않았던 환자들간의 폐동맥압과 좌심실구출률의 차이는 없었다. 폐동맥압과 좌심실구출률의 수술 전후변화량은 삼첨판패쇄부전증의 호전도와 상관관계를 확인할 수 없었다. 결론: 폐동맥고혈압과 좌심실구출률로 좌심실 판막질환과 동반된 삼첨판패쇄부전증의 경과를 예측하는 것은 불가능한 것으로 생각하며, 삼첨판륜성형술을 시행한 경우 삼첨판패쇄부전증이 통계적으로 유의하게 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로 좌심실 판막질환으로 수술을 시행하는 경우, 삼첨판패쇄부전증이 발견되면 그정도와 상관없이 적극적으로 삼첨판륜성형술을 시행하는 것이 장기적으로 중증의 삼첨판패쇄부전증을 예방하는 효과적인 방법이라고 생각한다.

Pasteurella multocida, a Gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium, is a causative animal pathogen in porcine atrophic rhinitis and avian fowl cholera. For the development of recombinant subunit vaccine against P. multocida, we cloned and analyzed the gene for outer membrane protein H (ompH) from a native strain of Pasteurella multocida in Korea. The OmpH had significant similarity in both primary and secondary structure with those of other serotypes. The full-length, and three short fragments of ompH were expressed in E. coli and the recombinant OmpH proteins were purified, respectively. The recombinant OmpH proteins were antigenic and detectable with antisera produced by either immunization of commercial vaccine for respiratory disease or formalin-killed cell. Antibodies raised against the full-length OmpH provided strong protection against P. multocida, however, three short fragments of recombinant OmpHs, respectively, showed slightly lower protection in mice challenge. The recombinant OmpH might be a useful vaccine candidate antigen for P. multocida.

The recent advances in the basic hematology and immunology have significantly enhanced the understanding of histiocytic disorders. The Histiocyte Society which was established in 1985 enabled the randomized trials for these diseases, and important knowledge regarding pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, therapy and late consequences has been obtained. The treatment of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) has varied greatly over last decades, and is still controversial. Therapy can be reduced for low risk patients, and it is possible to discriminate early the non-responding patients with risk disease who might require more intensified treatment. Current therapy of LCH recommended by the Histiocyte Society (LCH-III protocol) is activated in 2001. Hemophaocytic histiocytosis (HLH) is fatal if diagnosis is delayed and appropriate therapy is not instituted rapidly. The diagnostic criteria for HLH is revised by the Histiocyte Society for the current treatment protocol (HLH-2004) which consists of dexamethasone, etoposide, and cyclosporin in combination with intathecal methotrexate. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is usually necessary for the primary HLH and recurrent secondary HLH.

We present a rare case of critically compromised airway secondary to a massively dilated sequestered colon conduit after several revision surgeries. A 71-year-old male patient had several operations after the diagnosis of gastric cancer. After initial treatment of pneumonia in the pulmonology department, he was transferred to the surgery department for feeding jejunostomy because of recurrent aspiration. However, he had respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. The chest computed tomography (CT) scan showed pneumonic consolidation at both lower lungs and massive dilatation of the substernal interposed colon compressing the trachea. The dilated interposed colon was originated from the right colon, which was sequestered after the recent esophageal reconstruction with left colon interposition resulting blind pouch at both ends. It was treated with CT-guided pigtail catheter drainage via right supraclavicular route, which was left in place for 2 weeks, and then removed. The patient remained well clinically, and was discharged home.

Angioneurotic edema is rarely seen in dental practice and manifested by acute attacks of swelling of the extremities, face, airway, or abdominal visera, occuring spontaneously and suddenly or secondary to trauma. Two types are recognized : hereditary and nonhereditary. Prophylatic therapy may be used by fresh frozen plasma or antifibrinolytic agents in hereditary type. Good supportive care for acute attacks, together with a knowledge of course of the disease, can prevent asphyxiation from airway obstruction. A case of acute angioneurotic edema of the facial area in a 19-year-old man is presented in conjunction with a review of the literature. Angioneurotic edema attacks him acutely after the extraction of the lower, right 3rd molar.

Conversion disorder is a psychologically produced alteration or loss of physical functioning suggestive of a physical disorder. Conversion symptoms are often superimposed on organic disease and can be overlooked. Psychological techniques are central to the management include the following: avoiding confrontation with the patients; avoiding reinforcement or trivializing the symptoms; reviewing results of tests and exams and creating an expectation of recovery; educating the patient before a treatment is begun; evaluating the patient's emotional adjustment and considering it at a treatment; using caution in labeling the condition; considering referral for psychotherapy; establishing particularly a treatment plan and making a definite treatment program; adjusting patient' s environment; letting participate a family at appropriate time; developing a reinforcement program for a treatment of chronic symptoms; developing a home program for outpatients. Use behavior therapy reinforcement may be helpful with more chronic or resistant symptoms, especially when there is a history of vague or excessive somatic complaints or significant secondary gain.
