목 적 : 위축성 신반흔은 소아기 고혈압과 만성 신부전의 중요한 원인이다. 위축성 신반흔의 위험요인을 평가하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1995년에서 2003년까지 이화의대 목동병원에 첫 발열성 요로감염으로 입원하여 시행한 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ 신스캔에서 신장의 크기가 전반적으로 작아진 위축성 신반흔을 보인 41명을 대상으로 하였다. 위축성 신반흔은 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ 신스캔에서 상대적 신섭취가 10$\%$ 미만인 중증 위축성 신반흔(n=14)과 10-35$\%$인 경증 위축성 신반흔(n=27)으로 구분하였다. 신반흔은 첫 번째 신스캔에서 확인된 경우는 선천성으로, 급성 신우신염 후 추적 신스캔에서 신반흔으로 진행된 경우는 후천성으로 정의하였다. 대조군은 분절성 신반흔으로 진단된 소아 중 무작위로 선택된 41명이었다. 위축성 신반흔의 발생시기, 성별에 따른 차이와 방광요관역류의 정도 및 ACE 유전자 다형성 등의 위험요인을 조사하였다. 결 과 : 위축성 신반흔군의 연령별 분포는 분절성 신반흔군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 선천성 신반흔은 위축성 신반흔군에서 61.0$\%$(25/41)로 분절성 신반흔군의 9.8$\%$(4/41)에 비하여 유의하게 많았다(P<0.01). 성볕분포는 위축성 신반흔군에서 남아 58.3$\%$(28/41), 여아 ,31.7$\%$(13/41)이였으며 이는 분절성 신반흔군의 남아 41.4$\%$(17/41), 여아 58.6$\%$(24/41)에 비하여 유의하게 남아의 비율이 높았다(P<0.05). 방광요관역류의 동반률은 위축성 신반흔군에서 92.7$\%$(38/41)로 분절성 신반흔군의 53.7$\%$(22/41)에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 방광요관역류가 동반되지 않은 경우는 위축성 신반흔과 분절성 신반흔간에 남녀비의 유의한 차이가 없었으나 방광요관역류가 동반된 경우에는 남아의 비율이 중증 위축성 신반흔군에서 85.7$\%$(12/14)로 분절성 신반흔군의 45.5$\%$(10/22)에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). ACE 유전자 다형성은 위축성 신반흔과 분절성 신반흔군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 결 론 : 위축성 신반흔은 생후 예방이 불가능한 선천성이 많았고 위험요인에는 남아와 방광요관역류가 중요하였다. ACE 유전자 다형성은 위축성 신반흔의 위험 요인으로 작용하지 않았다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combined therapy with Banhasasim-tang and conventional treatment for atrophic Gastritis. Methods: The study collected data of clinical studies of combined therapy with Banhasasim-tang and conventional treatment for atrophic gastritis. Electronic databases were used, including PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, Wanfang, CINII, J-stage, NDSL, and OASIS. The main search terms included such as "Atrophic Gastritis", "Banhasasim-tang", "BanXia Xiexin Tang". This study only included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that adopted combined therapy with Banhasasim-tang and conventional treatment for atrophic gastritis. Results: A total of 18 RCTs were selected. They all adopted combined therapy with Banhasasim-tang and conventional treatment for atrophic gastritis. In all the studies, the intervention group significantly improved the score of effective rate, and in the 8 studies, Hp negative conversion rate was significantly improved when Banhasasim-tang was taken. Conclusion: Through the analysis of 18 RCTs, we found Banhasasim-tang combined with conventional therapy were more effective in the positive performance of atrophic gastritis than conventional therapy single contribution. However, due to the low quality of the selected studies and the lack of endoscopy, biopsy, follow-up observation, so there is a slight insufficient to prove its conclusion. Therefore, we hope that more systematic and diverse clinical studies will be conducted.

Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to overview and evaluate the effectiveness of fumigation treatment for women with atrophic vaginitis. Methods: We searched articles from Pubmed, Chinese Academic Journals (CAJ) and Oasis online databases. Searching keywords were ‘fumigation’, ‘atrophic vaginitis’, ‘vaginitis’, ‘阴道炎’, ‘膣炎’, ‘老年性 阴道炎’, ‘坐熏’, ‘熏洗’, ‘熏浴’, ‘좌훈요법’, ‘질염’, ‘위축성질염’. After searching the articles, we performed quality assessment using Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) tool. Results: Among the 142 articles were searched, 5 randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) were finally selected. All of 5 studies showed that fumigation treatment has significant effect on atrophic vaginitis in terms of the effectiveness rate, but 3 studies were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Our systematic review found encouraging but limited evidence of fumigation therapy for atrophic vaginitis. We recommend clinical trials which obtain stronger evidence without the demerits of trial design.

Objective: The aim of this study was to introduce gastric dysmotility as a common cause in patients with concurrent functional dyspepsia and chronic atrophic gastritis. Method: Dyspeptic symptoms, the Rydoraku score, gastric motility (electrogastrography, bowel sound analysis), gastric mucosa (gastroendoscopy), and blood and blood chemistry were all evaluated. For the treatment method, Pyengwi-san (solution) and Banwhasashim-tang (extract) were used as herbal drugs. Both ST36 electrical stimulation and simple immersion stimulation of CV11, 12, and 13 in the abdomen were applied. Results: Dyspeptic symptoms including indigestion, headache, and insomnia were all relieved. Gastric myoelectrical activity and gastric pyloric function were additionally improved. The condition of the gastric mucosa was changed from atrophic to erosive. Other side-effects of the treatment were not noted. Conclusion: The traditional Korean treatment showed effectiveness in the relief of dyspeptic symptoms and mucosal improvement of chronic atrophic gastritis. Gastric dysmotility is a common cause of the condition being concurrent with both functional dyspepsia and chronic atrophic gastritis without Helicobacter pylori infection.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze radiologically the location and course of the mandibular canal and to observe the alveolar and basal bone changes during the remodeling procedures of atrophic mandible. Materials and Methods: CT scanning was performed on dry 30 edentulous or partially dentulous mandibles. In 48 edentulous lower halves, measuring areas were determined by three points in the length of the mandibular canal. The distance from the mandibular canal towards cranial and caudal edges, buccal and lingual external borders of the body of the mandible were measured. A statistical comparison between the mean values of different classes of mandibular body was carried out in the selected areas. Results: The distance between the mandibular canal and caudal borders of the body of the mandible and lingual borders dose not change in the atrophic process of mandible. The mandibular canal within the mandible courses downwards from mandibular foramen towards mesial and subsequently it gets to the mental foramen. The distance between the mandibular canal and buccal external border of basal bone changes similar to the change of cranial borders of alveolar bone in the atrophic process of mandible. Conclusion: CT scanning was very effective and practicable to analyze the location and course of the mandibular canal and to observe the alveolar and basal bone changes of atrophic mandible. Also more detailed investigation of basal bone changes observed during the remodeling procedures of atrophic mandibles seems reasonable to rely on the massive anthropologic collections of atrophic mandibles combined with CT scanning.

Background and Objective : Atrophic scars are the most common complication of acne. Many modalities are proposed but each does not yield satisfactory clinical outcomes. Among therapeutic modalities of acne scars, subcision is a simple, safe procedure with a different and basic mechanism for correcting atrophic and depressed scars. However, there are few reports about such procedure. This study performed to evaluate the effect of subcision treatment on atrophic acne scar. Methods : Five patients with atrophic acne scars of various types(rolling, superficial and deep boxcar, pitted and icepick) were treated by superficial dermal undermining with 25~27 gauge needles. We used GASC(Global Acne Scarring Classification). Satisfaction degree was asked from the patients. Results and Conclusions : After observing patients satisfaction, comparing case photos and GASC, it can be considered that subcision treatment brings great results when performed on atrophic post acne scars.

Atrophic rhinitis is characterized by mucosal atrophy, bony absorption, persistent fetid odor and resistance to medical and surgical treatment. Stellate ganglion block (SGB) can be used as a therapeutic modality by improving the regional blood flow through sympathetic blockade. We present a case of a 57 year-old male patient who had been treated unsuccessully for atrophic rhinitis for several years by surgical and conservative measures. The patient presented at our pain clinic with shoulder pain and received stellate ganglion block once or twice a week. He received more than 75 SGBs in addition to the routine conservative treatment for atrophic rhinitis. As the number of blocks performed increased, the patient demonstrated subjective symptom relief. We measured regional mucosal blood flow using a laser doppler flowmeter after the 28th, 63rd and 75th blocks. Nasal mucosal blood flow was improved by 4.9%, 28.8% and 36.3% respectively. We also were able to observe the recovery of mucosal atrophy to an almost normal level by nasal endoscopy. The patient is currently free of symptoms and is being followed up on an outpatient bases.
