In order to study on Bu-ja(Oh-du) toxicosis, the outhor investigated many documents. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Toxicosis of Bu-ja(Oh-du) arised mainly from carelessness in use. 2. In the symptoms of Bu-ja(Oh-du), Heart System(心系) symptom often came out. 3. The general and local paralysis, falling of blood pressure in Heart System(心系) symptom : vertigo, cramp in Liver System(肝系) symptom : nausea, vomiting in Spleen System (脾系) symptom : difficulty of breathing in Lung System(肺系) symptom : wasting disease in Kidney System (腎系) symptom frequently originated from toxicosis of Bu-ja(Oh-du). 4. In the detoification method, there are atropin injection, carrying out a gastric lavage, and supplying a liquid medicine from the western medicine : taking ginger-licorice root decoction, taking mung beans thick decoction and getting vomited with soaked cinnamon from the oriental medicine. And also keeping warm and oxygen inhalation were used to counteract poison. 5. A pregnant woman, heat of excess type(實熱), yang sydrome(陽證 )must not be taken Bu-ja(Oh-du).

Paraquat is a very potent herbicide which causes fatal toxicity when ingested, and there is no specific antidote against it. Human ingestion induces acute renal failure, hepatic dysfunction and progressive respiratory failure with high mortality rate. Clinical investigation and medical treatment were done on two cases of acute renal failure caused by paraquat poisoning admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine, Wonkwang University Oriental Chonju Medical Hospital. We report two cases of patients who survived after acute paraquat intoxication, by means of oriental medicine such as Gamdutang, a typical antidote of toxins, chinese ink as an absorbent and burned powder of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma for laxative and so on, western medicine such as gastric lavage, diuretics and fluid therapy. We suggest more experiments and studies related to such treatment for paraquat poisoning be conducted.

Ingestion of plant material rarely manifest in clinical intoxication. This is due to the relatively low toxicity of most plants in Korea. But, veratrum is an important plant on account of its highly toxic alkaloids. Five cases of Veratrum grandiflonum mass poisoning are described. Clinical symptoms occurred quickly, within 30 min. Vomiting, a fall in blood pressure and bradycardia was observed. Treatments in the emergency department included gastric lavage, activated charcoal, and administration of atropine and dopamine for bradycardia and hypotension. Although one of them experienced profound hypotension, bradycardia and mental change, the outcomes were favorable in all cases, producing a complete cure without any sequellae at discharge.

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.

연구배경 : 폐장은 악성종양이 가장 잘 전이하는 장기로 대부분은 혈행성으로 하나 또는 다수의 결절형태로 나타나나, 드물게는 림프관을 따라 전파되어 흉부 X선 검사상 미만성 간질성 폐침윤 양상으로 나타나기도한다. 때로는 이러한 림프관성 전이가 원발성암의 증상이 뚜렷치 않으면서 호흡기 증상과 흉부 X선 검사상 미만성 간질성 폐침윤이 보여 다른 간질성 폐질환과의 감별을 요하는데 이러한 경우를 경기관지 폐생검으로 암종성 림프관염이 진단되었던 5예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 방법 : 임상소견, 폐기능검사, 흉부 전산화 단층촬영, 기관지 폐포 세척술과 경기관지 폐생검 검사로 진단을 얻었다. 결과 : 종양의 원발병소는 5명중 3명이 위암이었고, 2명은 폐암으로 생각되었다. 폐기능검사상 2명의 환자에서는 폐확산능이 감소된 제한성 환기장애를 보인 반면 한명에서는 폐쇄성 환기장애를 보였다. 기관지 폐포 세척술에서는 4명의 환자에서 모두 림프구 증가소견을 보였고 세포학적 검사상 이중 한명에서는 암세포도 관찰되었다. 경기관지 폐생검 검사에서 림프관에만 국한된 암세포가 관찰되었고, 이들의 cell type은 4명이 선암종이었고, 1명은 편평 상피 암종이었다. 결론 : 드물게, 암종성 림프관염은 원발성암의 증상이 없이 미만성 간질성 폐질환으로 발현될 수 있으며, 경기관지 폐생검 검사로 쉽게 진단되어 질수 있다.

Purpose: Despite the great advances in laparoscopic techniques, most active general surgeons do not apply laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of duodenal ulcer perforation when facing a real-life emergency. Therefore, our study was designed to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery in duodenal ulcer perforation, and provide a step-by-step protocol with tips and recommendations for less experienced surgeons. Materials and Methods: Between March, 2011 and May, 2012, 21 patients presenting with duodenal ulcer perforation underwent laparoscopic primary repair with omentopexy. There were no contraindications to perform laparoscopic surgery, and the choice of primary repair was decided according to the size of the perforation. The procedure for laparoscopic primary repair with omentopexy consisted of peritoneal lavage, primary suture, and omentopexy using a knot pusher. Results: During the operation, no conversion to open surgery or intra-operative events occurred. The median operation time was 45.0 minutes (20~80 minutes). Median day of commencement of a soft diet was day 6 (4~17 days). After surgery, the median hospital stay was 8.0 days (5~27 days). Postoperative complications occurred in one patient, which included a minor leakage. This complication was resolved by conservative management. Conclusions: Although our study was carried out on a small number of patients at a single institution, we conclude that laparoscopic primary repair can be an effective surgical method in the treatment of duodenal ulcer perforation. We believe that the detailed explanation of our procedure will help beginners to perform laparoscopic primary repair more easily.

Purpose: The number of glyphosate and glufosinate intoxication cases are increasing in Korea. This study was undertaken is to compare the clinical manifestations of poisoning by these two herbicides and to document severities and clinical outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated cases of glyphosate or glufosinate intoxication among patients that visited our emergency department between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2017. Incidences of intoxications were analyzed over this five year period, and underlying diseases, transportation, mental state, shock occurrence, inotropics, gastric lavage, charcoal administration, intubation and ventilator therapy, and hemodialysis were investigated. In addition, we included transfer to the intensive care unit, incidences of pneumonia and of other complications, death, and hopeless discharge. Results: There were 119 cases of glyphosate intoxication and 42 of glufosinate intoxication. Levels of consciousness were lower for glufosinate and vasopressor usage was higher due to a high shock rate (p=0.019). In addition, many patients were referred to the ICU for intubation and ventilation. The incidences of pneumonia and of other complications were significantly higher for glufosinate. Conclusion: Overall glufosinate intoxication was found to be more severe than glyphosate intoxication as determined by complication and ICU admission rates.

목적: 클로르페나피르 음독 후 중추신경계 손상을 동반한 독성 시신경병증 1예를 보고하고자 한다. 증례요약: 44세 여자가 7일 전부터의 양안 시력저하를 주소로 내원하였다. 환자는 내원 2주 전 자살 목적으로 클로르페나피르 한 모금을 음독했고, 직후 근처 병원에서 위세척을 시행하였다. 초기 최대교정시력은 우안 안전수지 30 cm, 좌안 안전수동이었다. 양안 동공은 5.0 mm로 커져 있었고, 빛에 대한 반응은 느렸으며 좌안에는 상대구심동공운동장애가 관찰되었다. 안저검사에서 양안 시신경유두부종이 관찰되었고, 뇌자기공명영상에서 양안 시신경과 속섬유막, 뇌량, 중소뇌각, 뇌간 등 백질 신경로를 따라 양쪽에 대칭적인 고강도신호가 관찰되었다. 클로르페나피르 중독으로 인한 독성 시신경병증으로 진단 후, 고용량 스테로이드치료를 3일간 시행하였으나 양안 최대교정시력은 광각무로 악화되었다. 3개월 후, 안저검사에서 양안 시신경위축이 관찰되었고, 빛간섭단층촬영에서 망막신경섬유층 및 신경절세포-내망상세포층 두께가 감소하였다. 결론: 매우 적은 양이라도 클로르페나피르에 노출되면 적절한 치료에도 불구하고 잠복기를 거쳐 심각한 시신경손상이 발생할 수 있으므로 주의해야 하겠다.
