The purpose of study is 584 patients who had been treated in the Oriental Medical Hospital at Dong Eui Medical Center during 1 year from February 2001 to January 2002. We proceeded the judgment of Sasang constitution by 'Questiinaire of Sasang Constitution Classification(I)' and 'Questiinaire of Sasang Constitution Classification II(QSCCII)'. The following conclusion were made in comparison with Sasang Constitution and Questiinaire about disease and style of symptoms. 1. The subject of 'increase of the weight of a body(gain weight), cough, nasal discharge(rhinorrhea), stuffed nose, sweatier, more like fat food, more like salty food', has significant differences in sasang constitution classification. The frequency of Taeum group is more than of Soeum group and Soyang group. 2. The subject of 'the complextion is bad, anorexia, indigestion, nervousness, sonitus', has significant differences in sasang constitution classification. The frequency of Soeum group is more than of Taeum group and Soyang group. 3. The subject of 'urodynia, otic discharge', has significant differences in sasang constitution classification. The frequency of Soyang group is more than of Taeum group and Soeum group.

Purpose: Blowout fracture is an outward fracture of the orbital wall. That usually occurs at inferior or medial wall of the orbit. The main pathophysiology is high intraocular pressure derived from impact of trauma. Among the four orbital wall, the medial wall is thinnest and most vulnerable to trauma. Many kinds of methods were introduced for correction of medial orbital wall fracture. Recently, transnasal endoscopic reconstruction methods were widely used. Endoscopic methods had many advantages. However, we experienced some cases of postoperative maxillary sinusitis. This study was planned to find out the effectiveness of middle meatal antrostomy after endoscopic reconstruction of medial orbital wall fracture. Methods: This study was retrospective analysis of 28 patients who underwent transnasal endoscopic repair of medial orbital wall fracture. The 18 male and 10 female patients were ranged from 17 to 57 years of age(mean, 30.9 years). Among 28 patients, randomly selected 17 patients underwent middle meatal antrostomy as additional procedure by the same surgeon. After at least 12 months of follow-up period, we examined the nasal symptom, endoscopic and CT findings. Results: One patient complained of nasal obstruction in middle meatal antrostomy group and four patients complained nasal symptoms in non middle meatal antrostomy group. On the endoscopic findings, three patients of non middle meatal antrostomy group had continuous nasal discharge. But middle meatal antrostomy group had no abnormal endoscopic findings. The abnormal CT finding(abnormal mucosal hypertrophy) were detected in four patient of non middle meatal antrostomy group. There were no abnormal CT findings in middle meatal antrostomy group. The data were statistically significant at comparative study. Conclusion: Authors think that the middle meatal antrostomy has some advantages as a additional procedure of endoscopic reconstruction of medial orbital wall fracture. Especially, it is good at preventing postoperative maxillary sinusitis. But, more larger group and strict application of disease entity are need for correct evaluation of middle meatal antrostomy effect.

Midline Granulcma(Malignant midline reticulosis) of upper respiratory tract was known as one of the fatal diseases that involve the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx and larynx, with progressive localized necrotizing inflammation and granuloma formation. The disease was first described in 1897 by McBride and after Stewart many clinical and histological studies have been done in 1933. But its etiology is still unclear and therapeutic methods are still under development. The authors carried out a clinical study of 15 cases which were diagnosed and treated as midline granuloma, including 7 cases which received combination radiation and steroid therapy from January 1964 to December 1980. The results are as follows: 1) Age and Sex distribution: 6 cases fell into the ages from 30 to 39 years: 13 cases (87%) were male and 2 cases (13%) were female. 2) Primary lesion sites were nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses area (8 cases: 53%), palatine tonsil (3 cases: 20%) and pharynx (2 cases: 13%) in order. 3) Common symptoms were nasal stuffiness and sore throat (6 cases: 40%), headache (5 cases: 33%), nasal discharge and facial edema (3 cases: 20%) in order. 4) Microorganisms were identified in 4 cases: staphylococcus in 2 cases, pseudomonas in 1 case and streptococcus in 1 case. 5) All 7 cases who received combination radiation and steroid therapy revealed complete regression and no recurrence. 6) Among the 5 cases, who received steroid and antibiotic therapy, 2 cases died and other 3 cases improved temporarily and then developed aggrevation of symptoms.

A 6-year-old male Basset hound weighing 9.3 kg was presented with a history of severe mucopurulent discharge from the bilateral fronto-nasal area which had been developed progressively over 1 year. At admission, the physical state and appetite of the patient was poor. There was bilateral thick and mucoprulent discharge on the fronto-orbital area with fistula opening in the skin over the frontal bone. A sample of exudate was cultured and fungi were isolated. Radiographically, there was an increased diffuse opacity of the frontal sinus with decreased definition and a thickening of the mucous membrane lining the sinus. This case was finally diagnosed as chronic fungal frontal sinusitis. After surgical obliteration of the sinus, local and systemic antifungal therapy with chlorhexidine and ketoconazole were applicated. The dog had gradually recovered the physical state and appetite.

A survey was performed on the outbreak of listeriosis in a Korean native goat in Animal Breeding Station of Gyeongsang National University, Chinju, Korea. Clinical signs in the affected goat were fever, dullness, inappetence, nasal discharge, slobbering, dysphagia, circling, incoordination, recumbency, unilateral facial paralysis, torticollis, dyspnea, spasmodic paddling movement of the limbs and death at 6 days after onset. No significant gross lesions were seen. The histopathological lesions were consisted of perivascular edema and cuffs by round cells and microabscess with infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes and macrophages in the cerebrum. Gram-positive organism was observed in the microabscess lesions. Listeria monocytogenes was isolated exclusively from the brain tissue by cultural examination and the lesions induced by experimental infection with the isolate were characterized by severe conjunctivitis in rabbit and hepatic necrotic foci in mouse. This seems to be the first report of listeriosis in Korean native goat.

A 4-year old male Pitbull terrier dog was presented with a history of nasal discharge of left side and dyspnea for 3 days. This dog had a bitewound on the head due to dog-fighting two weeks ago. There was no abnomality except mild anemic sign on blood examination. Frontal projection of radiographs was taken. This was diagnosed as frontal sinusitis. After skin incision on frontal head, a silicone tube was inserted into the affected frontal sinus. Abscess of the frontal sinus was drainaged and irrigated with saline solution containing trypsin and cephazolin. This patient who also treated with enrofloxacin was recovered completely.

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.

In ancient times, respiration's perceived purpose was only to cool the blood, and nasal mucus was thought to be a discharge from the brain. Later it was demonstrated that fluids cannot travel from the brain to the nose. It appears that credit for pointing out the medical significance of bronchial secretions and the biological value of the exocrine function of the lungs belongs to Laennec. He described the “chronic idiopathic pituitous catarrh” known today as bronchorrhea, which is characterized by paroxysms of expectoration. The importance of all this is that airway secretions, and their alterations, became one of the cardinal signs of many respiratory diseases (1).

A seven-month-old Hanwoo steer was presented immediately after transport with respiratory symptoms including a nasal discharge, depression, and anorexia. Though repeated treatments, bronchopneumonia had not been improved and had persisted for 10 months. Then, obstructive breath sound was heard. A cyst adjacent to the epiglottis could be observed with respiratory endoscopy. Consequently, chronic bronchopneumonia induced laryngeal cyst formation, resulting in obstructive dyspnea. And respiratory endoscopy may be useful for differentiating the causes of dyspnea in bovine clinical practice.

A mixed infection of Haemophilus paragallinarum (Hpg), Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) and M. synoviae (Ms) was detected in layers of a poultry farm in Iwate prefecture in Japan by pathological, serological and bacteriological investigation. Hpg strains were isolated from three of five birds investigated and all strains were identified to be type C. The Hpg isolates were more susceptible in vitro to a combination of sulfamonomethoxine and ormetoprim (Ektecin) than each of sulfamethoxasol, sulfamonomethoxine, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, streptomycin, erythromycin and thianphinicol. After a total of six days' medication of 1% feed additive Ektecin, symptoms of infectious coryza of hens in the farm almost disappeared and no Hpg was detected even from birds showing nasal discharge.
