  • Porcine edema disease (ED) is a communicable disease of pigs caused by infection with Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) which expresses F18 fimbriae and/or Stx type 2e (Stx2e). While STEC causes a severe illness including hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome in humans, it induces damage to the vascular endothelium, which results in edema, hemorrhage, and microthrombosis, leading in high mortality in pigs. In the present study, we cultured Stx2e-producing E. coli field isolates from conventional pig farms that experienced sudden deaths previously with symptoms similar to porcine edema disease, which were further investigated with Shiga toxin profiles. A total of 43 strains were identified from the collected samples by F18 or Stx2e specific PCR. Based on the PCR, 42 isolates out of 43 isolates were proved to carry one of F18 or Stx2e genes and 14 isolates to carry both F18 and Stx2e genes. All of the 30 isolates that harbored Stx2e gene induced the cytopathic effect (CPE) in vero cells and especially, the isolate 150229 produced the highest level of Shiga toxin. Therefore, we identified the virulence genes (F18 and Stx2e) and demonstrated Shiga toxin-producing abilities from porcine edema disease causing E. coli filed isolates. These results suggested that one of the isolates could be a vaccine antigen candidate against STEC through further investigating to elicit an immune response.

  • The present study describes the effectiveness of egg yolk antibodies (IgY) against enteric colibacillosis and edema disease in piglets. The antibodies were gained from the egg yolk of hens immunized with k88, k99, 987p fimbrial adhesin and heat-labile toxin antigens of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). Orally-administered egg yolk antibodies solution protected against experimental challenge with ETEC $K88^+$ and $k99^+$ strains in neonatal piglets and mice. In field trial, a total of 598 diarrheal piglets were orally treated with 3ml of antibody once a day to determine for the therapeutic effect. Of them, 582 (97.3%) piglets were recovered from diarrhea in 3 days. We also experimentally treated with the egg yolk antibodies twice a day for 5 consecutive days for 94 weaning piglets with edema disease for the determination of therapeutic effects. Seventy four piglets (78.7%) were recovered from clinical edema signs. Theses findings indicate that egg yolk antibodies against k88, k99, 987p and LT of ETEC are useful source of passive immunity for enteric colibacillosis and edema disease of piglets.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study was to report the improvement in a patient with edema treated by herb medication based on Shanghanlun provisions. Methods : According to 'A disease pattern identification diagnostic system based on Shanghanlun provisions (DPIDS)', a patient was diagnosed with Taeyang-byung, no. 46 provision and was administered with Mahwang-tang herbal medication for 30 days. The Numeric rating scale (NRS) was used to estimate the response. Results : The NRS score changed from 10 to 1 and the edema disappeared by 46th provision of Mahwang-tang selected according to Shanghanlun provisions. Conclusions : This case report suggests that the two words in the 46th provision of Shanghanlun, '陽氣重, 無汗' (Yang qi heavy, Absence of sweating) indicate a close relationship between photosensitivity and absence of sweating, thereby affecting edema in this case.

  • Degenerative arthritis is characterized by progressive degenerative change, particularly change occurring to the joint due to the burden of body weight. Arthritis means inflammation occurring to the joint: it causes pain and limits exercise involving movement of the joint. Edema is not a disease but a condition which is accompanied by progression of a certain disease. Degenerative arthritis patients also have various diseases and mostly brings edema. Even though the cause is known to be abrasion of the joints, there are many cases in which walking difficulties are caused by pressure and pain due to edema. We found patients with walking difficulties caused by pain and increase of pressure in the joints walk better after treatment of both the pain and edema.

  • Morbihan disease (MD) is a very rare condition characterized by rosaceous or erythematous lymphedema on the upper two-thirds of the face. A definitive management strategy for MD is lacking, and treatment is challenging. Herein, we present a case of persistent bilateral eyelid edema treated by lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) and lymph node-vein bypass surgery. The patient experienced persistent bilateral eyelid edema. Indocyanine green lymphography was performed, and the diagnosis of bilateral facial lymphedema was confirmed. On the right side, a preauricular lymphatic vessel was anastomosed to a vein. On the left side, lymphostomy on the preauricular lymph node was done, with anastomosis to the transected proximal end of the concomitant vein of the transverse facial artery. Furthermore, a preauricular lymphatic vessel was anastomosed to a vein. Eyelid edema decreased and progressively improved on both sides. The outcome of this case suggests that LVA and lymph node-vein bypass surgery are appropriate for treating persistent eyelid edema related to MD.

  • Occasionally, apoplexy is caused by functional or physiologic cardiopulmonary abnormality. In addition, theses may become the factor of aggravating apoplexy and involve complication. If patient has cardiopulmonary disease, progressing of apoplexy is commonly used to be accelerate and prognosis is deteriorative. There by the patient who has cardiopulmonary disease, should be particularly treated for cardiopulmonary disease. We got good result, during treat Soeumin cerebral vascular infarction patient who has pulmonary edema leaded from congestive heart failure, with Sasang Constitutional treatment. Therefore I reported them here. She was 68 years old, female patient. She visited our hospital for apoplexy with right side hemiparesis, dysphagia, dysphasia. After her admission into our hospital, we knew that she has congestive heart failure. The diagnosis is established. She presented with severe general edema and pulmonary edema. Although Soeumin edema usually classified as Taiyin Disease, we classified this as Shaoyin Disease, through diet, discharge, sleep, tongue and symptoms. We has prescribed Gungguichongsoyijung-tang(芎歸蔥蘇理中湯) in accordance with the principle of invigorating the Spleen and lower Yin(建碑而降陰). And her symptoms has improved.

  • Minimal change nephrotic syndrome is characterized by proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia. Children with onset of nephrotic syndrome between the age of 1 and 8 year are likely to have steroid response to minimal chage disease, but we experienced one case of minimal change disease which failed to respond to steroid therapy at beginning and subsequently developed acute renal failure. It was seen in a 5 year-old male child that presented with edema and gross hematuria. Peritoneal dialysis was performed for acute renal failure for 11 days. Patient was completely recorvered from acute renal failure and renal biopsy was done at 27th day after onset of disease which revealed typical picture of minimal change disease complicated by acute tubular necrosis. We beleive this case is very unusual and it may be the first case in the literature in terms of pediatric cases.
