Cough is a common clinical problem to which various etiologies are attributable. In Korean medicine there are differentiations in etiology such as food-accumulation and Yin-deficiency. This study was aimed to analyze the relations between the time of cough and Korean syndrome differentiations and to compare the symptoms of Korean syndrome differentiations (food-accumulation and Yin-deficiency). Sixty-two cough patients were analyzed and classified into one of two syndrome differentiations by etiology. We compared the time of coughing and symptomatic characteristics of two: such as symptom differences and change of severity after treatment. Patients with food-accumulation were more prevalent than patients with Yin-deficiency. Among symptoms, anorexia, dyspepsia, nausea and nasal discharge were more prevalent in food-accumulation while pruritus of throat was prevalent in Yin-deficiency. Coughing at night was prevalent in Yin-deficiency and coughing at rising hour was prevalent in food-accumulation.

Objectives : This study aimed to report improvement of patient with chronic cough treated with Korean medical treatment. Methods : A 12-year-old male patient who began coughing at the end of October 2023 misdiagnosed by a tic disorder and was prescribed oral medication. However, the cough worsened, persisting throughout the day without respite, accompanied by sleep disturbances (desire to sleep continuously) and gait disturbance (only able to walk with support). The patient visited the clinic on December 15, 2023, and was re-diagnosed with chronic cough. And the patient received Korean medical treatment, including herbal medicine(Ryokankyomishinge-tang, Ryokankyomishingenin-tang, Sogunjung-tang), and acupuncture. The severity of chronic cough was evaluated by VAS before and after administration of each treatment term. Results : The patient's symptoms improved and VAS changed 10 to 0. Conclusions : This case study showed an effectiveness of Korean medical treatment on chronic cough.

목 적 : 최근 알레르기 질환은 소아 유병률의 많은 부분을 차지하며 최근 알레르기 질환은 점차 증가하는 추세를 보인다. 알레르기 질환의 증가와 더불어 만성기침의 유병률 또한 증가하는 추세로 만성 기침을 하는 소아에서 그 원인 항원을 찾는 것은 정확한 진단뿐만 아니라 특정 항원에 대한 예방 및 치료를 가능하게 한다는 점에서 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 저자들은 만성 기침을 하는 1세에서 6세 사이의 소아에서 간단한 설문을 통해 얻은 정보로 다른 알레르기 질환의 과거력과 가족력 및 다른 호흡기 증상과 특이 IgE 검사와의 연관성을 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 2002년 3월부터 2005년 6월까지 만성 기침을 주소로 건양대학교병원 소아과에 내원한 1세에서 6세 사이의 소아를 대상으로 설문 조사와 혈액 검사를 시행한 최종 106명을 대상으로 하였다. 설문 조사를 통해 영아 습진의 병력, 모세기관지염의 병력, 알레르기 질환의 가족력, 가정 내 흡연자의 유무, 모유 수유의 여부, 가정 내 애완동물(개, 고양이 등)의 유무, 카페트 사용 여부에 대해 조사하였다. 총 106명의 환아들의 혈액 검사를 통해 흡입항원 MAST, 총 IgE 값과 말초 혈액 호산구 수를 측정하였고 흡인항원 MAST 검사의 알레르겐 중 유럽 집먼지 진드기, 북아메리카 집먼지 진드기, 집먼지, 개, 고양이에 대한 양성 반응을 조사하였다. 결 과 : MAST 결과 북아메리카 집먼지 진드기에 양성을 보인 경우는 29.2%로 가장 높았고 집먼지가 27.4%, 양이 16%, 개 14.2%이었으며 유럽 집먼지 진드기는 12.3%의 양성률을 보였다. MAST 결과가 양성인 51명과 음성인 55명을 두 군으로 나누어 비교하였을 때 MAST 양성인 군에서 나이가 4-6세로 많은 경우는 33명이었으며 MAST 음성인 군에서 나이가 많은 경우는 19명으로 유의한 차이를 보였고(P=0.019) 영아습진은 32명과 19명으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며(P<0.001) 알레르기 질환의 가족력과 가정 내 흡연자가 있는 경우도 P<0.001로 의미 있는 차이를 보였다. MAST 양성 결과를 보인 51명의 총 IgE 값은 $405.7{\pm}740.7IU/mL$, MAST에서 음성을 보인 55명의 총 IgE 값은 $104.5{\pm}109.2IU/mL$로 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보였으며(P=0.041), 호산구 수는 두 군에서 $478{\pm}505/{\mu}L$와 $290{\pm}265/{\mu}L$로 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(P=0.097). 결 론 : 저자들은 간단한 설문을 통한 정보로 3주 이상의 만성 기침을 주소로 내원한 환아에서 다른 알레르기 질환의 과거력과 가족력 및 다른 호흡기 증상과 특이 IgE 검사(inhalant MAST)와의 연관성을 알아보았고, 나이, 영아습진의 병력, 가정 내 흡연과 알레르기 질환의 가족력이 관련이 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is an idiopathic condition characterized by chronic infiltration of the lung with eosinophils, weight loss, dyspnea, and pulmonary infiltration. Recently, we have experienced one case of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia presenting as the acute respiratory failure. A 34-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with one month's history of coughing, dyspnea, mucoid sputum, weight loss and one day's history of subcutaneous emphysema. The radiographic lung lesion and dyspnea rapidly progressed to a critical condition of acute respiratory failure. The combination of blood eosinophilia, lung infiltration on the chest x-ray, sign of acute rapiratory failure, rapid response to steroid therapy, and the finding of the transbronchial lung biopsy permit the diagnosis of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia.

Objectives: Gastro-esophageal reflux-induced chronic cough is not easy to diagnose and treat. In this study, three patients diagnosed with this disease were treated with Ojeok-san plus Saengmaek-san. Methods: Three patients with chronic cough, suspected to be gastro-esophageal and reflux-based, were diagnosed according to symptoms and abdominal examinations. They were treated with the herbal medicine, Ojeok-san plus Saengmaek-san. To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment, a visual analogue scale (VAS) for measuring the severity of a cough and the Korean version of the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ-K) were used to determine the patients' quality of life. Results: After administration of Ojeok-san plus Saengmaek-san, the severity of the patients' coughing decreased based on VAS scores and quality of life improved based on LCQ-K scores for all patients. Conclusions: Ojeok-san plus Saengmaek-san is a potent therapeutic agent for gastro-esophageal reflux-induced chronic cough.

Bronchogenic cysts, though known as a relatively common malformation of the mediastinum, were rarely discussed in Korean literatures. Since the surgical removal of asymptomatic lesions was adopted as the reasonable therapeutic principle, the incidence of bronchogenic cysts were found to be higher than previously expected. Two cases of bronchogenic cysts operated on in The Dept. of Thoracic Surgery, Korea University Woo Sok Hospital were reported and related literatures were reviewed. Case 1. 5 year old boy with chief complaints of bulging cystic mass on left supraclavicular region during straining or coughing since his age of 2 was admitted, and cystogram with Lipiodol revealed hen-egg sized mass in the left antero-superior mediastinum without any communication with bronchus or esophagus. Cyst was successfully removed under general anesthesia thru left supraclavicular incision, and pathological examination of the cyst revealed thin cystic wall lined with stratified columnar epithelium and it`s content was milky white mucoid fluid devoid of any bacterial growth. Case 2. 15 year old school girl has been noted slowly growing walnut-sized mass on anterolateral side of the neck for 4 months without any subjective symptom except cosmetic problem... Mass was aspirated to find milky white mucoid fluid in some loculation and yellowish turbid fluid in other part due to chronic infection. Cystic tumor was removed under local anesthesia, which was loculated in between the trachea and esophagus without any communication, and pathological diagnosis of the cyst was bronchogenic cyst with columnar epithelial cell lining with moderate chronic inflammatory cell infiltrations. Postoperative conditions of the two cases were all excellent with normal life.

14세의 거세 마장마술마가 기침, 빈호흡, 점액농성의 비루를 호소하여 한국마사회 말보건원 동물병원에 내원하였다. 일반적인 광범위 항생제 치료를 3주간 실시하였으나 임상증상은 오히려 악화되었다. 이후 환자는 심한 기침과 점액농성의 비루, 빈호흡을 동반한 노력성 호흡, 운동능력저하 등의 임상증상과 기관세척액세포검사에서 심한 호중구성 염증이 관찰되어 만성폐쇄성폐질환으로 진단되었다. 마방 내 공기정화 노력과 병행한 3주간의 전신 글루코콜티코이드 치료를 실시한 결과 치료 후 임상증상이 현저히 개선되었다. 본 증례는 국내 말에서 다발하는 만성호흡기질환 중비감염성염증인 만성폐색성폐질환의 존재 가능성을 시사하였다. 향후 질병 발생 예방을 위해 말 사육 환경 내 존재하는 항원의 조사와 질병 발생율 조사가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A 10-year-old castrated male papillon presented with nasal discharge, coughing and chronic dysphagia. On physical examination, the dog exhibited sneezing, gurgling and movement of the throat with repeated attempts to swallow fluids. A diagnosis of cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA) was made based on video fluoroscopic demonstration of failure of relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter. This report describes the diagnosis of CPA in an old dog, which is rarely diagnosed in older animals.
