The purpose of this study was to compare Black-pigmented Bacteroides isolated from necrotic pulp with the presence or absence of eight symptoms associated with pulpal necrosis and to identify the proportion of each Black-pigmented Bacteroides species. The canal contents of fourteen traumatically and cariously necrotized teeth were sampled with a special technique and cultured aerobically and anaerobically for growth in blood agar plate and for Black-pigmented Bacteroides on selective blood agar plate. Each Black-pigmented Bacteroides species were identified by Gram's stain, hemolysis reaction, colony color and morphology and biochemical tests. The results were as follows; 1. 60.9 percent of the bacteria isolated were anaerobic and 39.1 percent were aerobic. 2. Four Black-pigmented Bacteroides species were isolated; B. loescheii (74.1%), B. denticola (11.1%), B. intermedius (7.4%) and B. gingivalis (7.4%). 3. Black-pigmented Bacteroides was found to be significantly related to sinus tract formation and exudate.

Objectives: This study is to report a case that has an effective result to systemic type juvenile idiopathic arthritis patient with an oriental medicine treatment. Methods: We treated the patient with an oriental medicine and tapered down with the western medicine. We followed up the laboratory blood tests every two or three months and through telephone at least six days in a week. Results: The symptoms of systemic type juvenile idiopathic arthritis were vanished and the patient maintains his condition with oriental medicine treatment after discontinued all Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs(DMARDs). His ESR, CRP levels and other blood test results were back to normal range. Now he is in clinical remission status. Conclusions: According to the result, the oriental medicine treatment is considered to be effective on the systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and further studies will be needed with more cases.

Reciprocal exchanges of DNA in sister chromatids (SCEs) are induced by various carcinogens and mutagens, although the quantitative relationship between the number of mutations and SCEs induced varies among chemicals. Nevertheless, the analysis of SCEs production by various agents often proposed as a sensitive and quantitative assay for mutagenicity and cytotoxicity. Mercury, even if which has no evidences for mutagenicity and carcinogenicity, is reported to exert some cytotoxic effects, such as chromosomal aberrations or bad influences to ovulation and reproduction in experimental animals, etc.. In this study, tests for sister chromatid exchanges have been carried out on normal human lymphocytes in whole blood culture to add mercury chloride ($HgCl_2$) or methylmercury chloride ($CH_3\;HgCl$) for 72 hr. The results indicate the dose-dependent relationship between the frequencies of SCEs and the concentrations of $HgCl_2,\;CH_{3}HgCl$ and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU). Lymphocyte proliferation has depressed in the higher concentration of mercury.

The present study examined the effect of alcohol extract of Isaria sinclairii on blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The blood pressure and heart rate were measured after treatment of alcohol extract of I. sinclairii by indirect tail cuff method and direct tn vivo model. Male SHR were treated with extracts for 2 or 4 weeks starting at 12 weeks of age. (omitted)

Objectives: This case reports on the effect of Shipjeondaebo-tang-gami in a patient with anemia. Methods: We used Shipjeondaebo-tang-gami to treat a patient suffering from anemia. We evaluated the improvement of symptoms using biochemical examination of a blood sample and the visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: The patients showed improvement in the clinical symptoms and laboratory results for the biochemical blood tests. Conclusions: This study shows that Korean medical treatment with Shipjeondaebo-tang-gami may be valuable for anemia.

Purpose: This study was done to describe a community health practitioner's nursing case study for a hypertension patient. Methods: For this purpose, data were collected through interviews and nursing records. The nursing process was carried out from January to March in 2019. Results: For this patient, blood pressure was checked 5 times and total cholesterol test was performed 5 times over 41 consultations. Even though the patient was 84 years old, he was very interested in health. When the blood pressure and cholesterol level measured by community health practitioner were high, he was embarrassed by the recommendation to get a hospital checkup. After referral to a medical clinic and hospital, he was satisfied with the results of the tests and medical treatment, and constantly practiced daily walking exercise. Conclusion: It is very important for community health practitioners to assess patient symptoms correctly and refer the patient timely to manage complications.

Glyphosate herbicides, which are widely used worldwide, are known to have low toxicity. However, excessive intake may cause serious life-threatening complications; therefore, caution is needed when using them. A 51-year-old man visited the hospital after ingesting glyphosate herbicide. At the time of admission, his vital signs were 80/60 mmHg-115/min-20/min-$37.3^{\circ}C$. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed QRS widening and corrected QT (QTc) prolongation, and blood tests showed metabolic acidosis. Treatment with gastric lavage, activated charcoal, sodium bicarbonate and intravenous lipid emulsion therapy was performed. After 2 hours, his blood pressure increased to 130/90 mg, and no QRS widening was observed on ECG.

Three different cats who had chronic kidney disease (CKD) were treated for more than one month with fluid therapy in an animal clinic. Although this long-term treatment and hospitalization, there was no clinical improvement in clinical signs as well as serum biochemical indexes including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (CREA), and phosphate (PHOS). All cases were then injected three times with allogeneic stem cells through an intravenous route for treatment on Day 0, 7, and 14 or 30. On the same day, clinical observation and blood tests for serum biochemistry were conducted together. Upon administrating stem cells to the CKD cats, clinical conditions and the indexes of BUN and CREA were clinically improved within normal ranges. Additionally, one of the cats who had the renal cysts presented clinical improvement with showing decreased cysts size than before.

In this case analysis, a patient was diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in a 49-year-old female and showed persistent vasospasm after coil emboilzation in an aneurysm. The patient suffered from persistent vasospasm and performed angioplasty a total of 6 times. Transcranial color coded doppler (TCCD) was performed 12 times to monitor vasospasm. As a result, repetitive cerebral blood flow tests were low cost and safely performed without exposure to invasive radiation through the TCCD, and the repeatability and reproducibility of the test were confirmed with the capabilities of a trained professional radiological technologist.

Although cardiac myxoma is one of the most common types of benign cardiac tumors, infected cardiac myxoma is very infrequent. The diagnosis of infected cardiac myxoma may be challenging because the presenting symptoms are non-specific and established management guidelines are lacking. This report describes a 39-year-old woman with a 5-month history of uncontrolled fever, chills, and myalgia who was diagnosed with myxoma and underwent mass excision. Although blood and urine cultures were negative for growing bacteria, a pathologic examination showed that the excised mass was a left atrial myxoma, with pan-bacterial polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the surgical specimen revealing Haemophilus parainfluenzae at 99.87%, resulting in a diagnosis of infected cardiac myxoma. Laboratory tests, such as PCR, may supplement culture results in the diagnosis of infected cardiac myxoma.
