  • Damum(痰飮) is a kind of pathologic secretion products that excessive water is accumulated in a part of body. Damhun(痰暈) is the vertigo induved by Damum(痰飮). We experienced two clinical cases treated vertigo by orietal medicine(herbal medication, acupuncture). 33-years old male and 63-years old female patients had Damhun(痰暈), vertigo by Damum(痰飮). We administered Banhabaechulcheoma-tang(Pansiabaichutienma-tang) and Yeonggyechulgam-tang(Lingguishugna-tang) to each Patient, and two Patients improved vertigo and referred symptoms. In other words, this study is that We did not limited peripheral vertigo to vestibular system, made a diagnosis of Damum(痰飮) and treated vertigo by orietal medicine(herbal medication, acupuncture) referred to many medical practitioner of many generations. We suggest that digestive sypmtom(related to Damum(痰飮), abdominal examination and stool frequency are closely associated with vertigo and could be estimated prognosis of vertigo.

  • Purpose: Jaundice accounts for most hospital admissions in the neonatal period. Nowadays, in addition to phototherapy, other auxiliary methods are used to reduce jaundice and the length of hospitalization. This study aimed to investigate the effect of probiotics on the treatment of hyper-bilirubinemia in full-term neonates. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 83 full-term neonates, who were admitted to the hospital to receive phototherapy in the first 6 months of 2015, were randomly divided into two groups: synbiotic (SG, n=40) and control (CG, n=43). Both groups received phototherapy but the SG also received 5 drops/day of synbiotics. Serum bilirubin, urine, stool, feeding frequency, and weight were measured daily until hospital discharge. A p-value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean total serum bilirubin in the SG was lower than that in the CG ($9.38{\pm}2.37$ and $11.17{\pm}2.60mg/dL$, respectively). The urine and stool frequency in the SG was significantly higher than that in the CG (p<0.05). The duration of hospitalization in the SG was shorter than that in the CG. Conclusion: Use of synbiotics as an adjuvant therapy had a significant treatment effect on jaundice in full-term neonates. Further studies including larger samples with long follow-up periods are essential to confirm the benefits of routine use of synbiotics in neonatal patients with jaundice.

  • Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of the magnesium (Mg)-enriched formula vs. control formula in constipated infants. Methods: An open-label, interventional, and the comparator-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Mg-enriched formula in formula-fed infants ${\leq}6$ months old presenting with functional constipation according to modified Rome IV criteria. Infants were randomized 1:1 to intervention or control formula for 30 days. Parents recorded stool consistency (hard, normal, or watery) and frequency on days 1-7 and 23-29. Physicians recorded patient baseline characteristics and performed the clinical examination at the time of three patient visits (baseline, day 8, and 30). Results: Of the 286 recruited infants, 143 received the Mg-rich formula and 142 received the control formula. After 7 days, significantly more infants had stools with normal consistency with the Mg-rich formula compared to the infants fed with the control formula (81.8% vs. 41.1%; p<0.001). The number of infants passing one or more stools per day was increased at day 7 in the Mg-rich formula group (86.7% vs. 68.2%; p<0.001). At days 7 and 29, >25% of infants responded completely to the Mg-rich formula compared to <5% of infants fed with the control formula (p<0.001). Parents of infants in the Mg-rich formula group were very satisfied with the treatment (80.8% vs. 10.2%), with the majority willing to continue treatment after 30 days (97.9% vs. 52.6%; p<0.001). Conclusion: The Mg-rich formula significantly improved stool consistency and frequency compared to the control formula in constipated infants.

  • 설탕의 40%를 프락토올리고당이나 이소말토올리고당으로 대치하여 구운 스폰지 케이크를 2주간 섭취하게 하여 여대생의 변비개선에 대한 효과를 살펴보았다. 두 올리고당 모두 섭취 후 배변 횟수와 변의 경도를 유의적으로 개선시켰다. 프락토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크를 섭취한 군에서는 배변시간이 섭취 1주 후부터 유의적으로 감소하였으며, 이소말토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크를 섭취한 군에서는 변의 모양, 변색, 배변 시 노력과 배변 후 상쾌함 등이 섭취 전보다 섭취 후에 유의적으로 개선되었다. 섭취 중에 나타난 소화장애 현상으로는 설사, 복통, 메스꺼움, 더부룩함, 방귀, 식욕 감소, 체중감소, 복부 팽만감 등이 나타났고, 프락토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크 섭취 군에서는 이들 장애현상 중 복부 팽만감이나, 방귀, 메스꺼움 현상이 섭취 후 1~2시간 안에 나타나기 시작하여, 실험 기간 내내 지속되었다. 반면 이소말토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크를 섭취한 군에서는 2~3일 정도 소화장애 현상이 나타났으나, 그 후에는 섭취 후에 장애 현상이 없어졌다. 섭취종료 일주일 후에는 프락토올리고당에 의한 소화장애 현상은 곧 사라졌으나, 대부분의 피검자들은 섭취 전에 나타난 변비현상이 다시 나타났다. 배변상황의 개선여부와 소화장애 현상을 종합적으로 판단하였을 때, 두 올리고당 모두 인체의 장기능 개선에는 효과가 있었으나, 비교적 안전성이 좋은 이소말토올리고당을 첨가한 스폰지 케이크 섭취가 변비 치료에는 더 긍정적으로 나타났다.

  • 본 연구는 자일로올리고당을 설탕에 혼합하여 변비를 앓고 있는 젊은 여성을 대상으로 변비개선효과를 확인하였다. 평균연령 22.1세인 젊은 여성 56명을 대상으로 실험 1에서는 설탕을 플라시보로 하는 이중맹검 임상연구를 통해 자일로올리고당 0.7 g이 함유된 설탕 10 g (n = 19명) 또는 설탕 10 g (n = 19명)을 블랙커피와 함께 복용하도록 하였고, 실험 2에서는 자일로올리고당 0.4 g 함유한 설탕 5.6 g과 1.6 g의 커피, 4.8 g의 식물성 크림이 함유된 커피믹스를 1일 2회씩 6주간 섭취하도록 하였다 (n = 18명). 섭취결과 XOS군과 XOSmix군의 경우 섭취전 주간 배변횟수가 2.47회에서 섭취 1주째부터 증가하여 섭취 6주째에는 주간 배변횟수가 4.11회와 5.67회로 각각 증가하였다. XOS와 XOS 함유 커피믹스는 통계적으로 유의하게 복부 불쾌감과 잔변감을 개선하였으며, 배변횟수의 증가는 섭취초반 부터 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 XOS는 0.7 g의 적은양으로도 변비를 개선하는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타나 음료에 기능성을 갖춘 감미료로서의 활용이 기대된다.

Methods : The 75 Prescriptions of Consumptive part in DonguiBogam analysed frequency of basic prescriptions, symptoms of prescriptions and the pathology. Results : Prescriptions that Zingiberis siccatum Rhizoma was taken as a monarch drug are utilized for 25 therapeutic purposes, for example, cold disease, stool disease, cough disease. In particular, 16.0% of prescriptions appear in the chapter of cold. Prescriptions that utilize Zingiberis siccatum Rhizoma as the main component are used in the treatment of cold, stool and cough disease. Zingiberis siccatum Rhizoma is used in pathogenic factors such as weakness cold and cold strength and used in pathology related to the spleen and stomach system. The dosage of Zingiberis siccatum Rhizoma is 5pun(about 1.88g) to 4nyang(about 150.4g), however 1don(about 3.75g) has been taken the most for clinical application. Ijungtang is the most useful base prescriptions which use the Zingiberis siccatum Rhizoma as the main ingredient. Conclusions : As a result of Study on Analysis all Prescriptions of Zingiberis siccatum Rhizoma in DonguiBogam.

  • Compared to infant formula, breast milk is the best source of nutrition for infants; it not only improves the neonatal intestinal function, but also regulates the immune system and gut microbiota composition. However, probiotic-fortified infant formula may further enhance the infant gut environment by overcoming the limitations of traditional infant formula. We investigated the probiotic formula administration for one month by comparing 118 Korean infants into the following three groups: infants in each group fed with breast milk (50), probiotic formula (35), or placebo formula-fed group (33). Probiotic formula improved stool consistency and defecation frequency compared to placebo formula-fed group. The probiotic formula helped maintaining the level of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA), which had remarkably decreased over time in placebo formula-fed infants (compared to weeks 0 and 4). Moreover, probiotic formula decreased the acidity of stool and considerably increased the butyrate concentration. Furthermore, the fecal microbiota of each group was evaluated at weeks 0 and 4. The microbial composition was distinct between each groups, and the abundance of health-promoting bacteria increased in the probiotic formula compared to the placebo formula-fed group. In summary, supplementation of probiotic infant formula can help optimize the infant gut environment, microbial composition, and metabolic activity of the microbiota, mimicking those of breast milk.

  • 인천지역 병 의원에 내원한 급성위장염환자의 대변 검체 총 11,607건을 효소 면역법(ELISA)을 이용하여 group A rotavirus의 계절별 발생 양상을 조사한 결과 2005년부터 2010년간 인천지역에서는 1~2월이 가장 많이 발생하였으나, 기간별로 차이가 존재했다. 또, group A rotavirus 양성 검체 160건에 유전자 분석 결과 VP4는 P8형, VP7는 G1형, G와 P 조합형으로는 G1P8이 가장 많았다. 그러나 이전의 연구와 비교했을 때 연구 지역과 기간에 따라 혈청형과 유전형의 변화가 빈번하였으므로 효율적인 방역을 위해 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다고 사려된다. 또 이번 연구는 현재 유통 중인 rotavirus 백신의 효율적인 사용의 기초 자료가 될 것이다.
