Multiple Myeloma is malignant tumor that malignant proliferous plasma cell to originate from bone marrow invades bone multiply. Objectives : Therapy for Multiple Myeloma includes chemotherapy, radiation therapy and self-stem cell transplantation, but it has no effect for a majority of Multiple Myeloma patients. So we diagnosed it as Wei symptom, oliguria, or dysuria(遺尿) in Oriental medicine, and treated it using the Oriental medical system. Methods : The patient was treated using acupuncture, electroacupuncture, herbal acupuncture treatment, moxibustion, physical treatment and western medicine. We observed 12 kinds of symptoms in the patient when admitted to the hospital. Results : 1. Paraplegia, urination desire, voluntary urination, and other symptoms improved except for a period of complication. 2. Defecation desire, sensory disturbance of the body and lower extremities, self-made changes, maintenance of body posture, and other symptoms improved during admitting days. 3. Voluntary defecation, pains of the neck and lower extremities, and other symptoms had irregular changes during admitting days. Conclusions : This study demonstrates the necessity of having more clinical study about Mutiple Myeloma.

목적 : 소아 연령에서 입원 당시 혹은 다른 질환으로 입원하여 치료를 받던 중에 발생한 신성 급성 신부전의 임상적 특징과 경과 그리고 예후에 대해 분석하였다. 방법 : 2000년 1월부터 2006년 6월까지 부산백병원 소아청소년과에 입원한 환자 중 신성 급성 신부전으로 진단된 59명을 대상으로 하였다. 진단 기준은 혈청 크레아티닌치가 1.2 mg/dL 이상이거나 기저치에 비해 2배 이상 증가한 경우로 하였다. 핍뇨는 소변량이 0.5 mL/kg/hr 이하이며 무뇨는 <50 mL/day로 정의하였다. 결과 : 전체 환자의 성별 비는 2.2:1로 남아에게 많았으며 연령별 분포는 신생아 7명, 2개월-2세 10명, 3-6세 12명, 7-12세 21명, 13-16세 9명이었다. 신부전의 진단까지 평균 기간은 3.1${\pm}$2.8일이었다. 소변량에 따른 분류는 핍뇨군 21명, 비핍뇨군 36명 및 무뇨군 2명이었다. 원인 질환별 분류에서는 원발성 신질환군 30명, 감염군 14명, 종양군 9명 및 기타군 6명이였다. 연령별 분류에서는 신생아는 감염군, 2개월-2세는 신질환과 감염군과 3세 이상에서는 신질환군이 많았다. 계절별 발생 빈도는 차이가 없었으나 여름철에 용혈성 요독증후군의 발생이 많았다. 투석치료는 4명에서 복막투석을 시행하였다. 호전까지의 평균기간은 10.0${\pm}$6.7일이었다. 경과 중 18명이 사망하였는데 비핍뇨군의 사망률이 낮았다. 연령별로는 신생아가 원인별로는 종양군의 사망률이 각각 높았다. 결론 : 소아에서의 신성 급성 신부전은 조기진단과 기저질환의 적절한 관리로 대부분의 환자에서 정상적인 신기능의 회복을 기대할 수 있으며 성인에 비해 양호한 임상적 경과를 보였다.

67세 남자환자가 하지의 악성섬유조직구종으로 진단받고 광범위 절제술 후 방사선치료를 받는 동안 연쇄구균독소충격증후군이 발생하여 그 예를 소개하고자 한다. 환자는 수술 후 증감하는 부종이 있어 약 1개월간 비스테로이드소염제를 복용하였다. 환자는 C형 간염보균자였으며, 당뇨, 고혈압의 과거력이 있었다. 환자는 수술 후 방사선치료를 계획하여, 주 5회 조사하여 32.4 Gy를 치료받았다. 이틀간의 주말 치료중단이후 갑자기 방사선치료 받은 우측 대퇴부에 홍반성 염증이 발생하였고, 열, 오한, 소변감소증이 동반되었다. 환자는 즉시 감염내과에 의뢰되었고, 독소충격증후군이 의심되어 즉시 입원하였다. 입원당시 환자는 저혈압, 소변감소증, 변비, 비정상적인 신기능 및 간기능 소견을 보였다. 환자의 혈액 배양 결과 스트렙토콕쿠스 피오게네스균(Streptococcus pyogenes)이 검출되었다. 환자는 연쇄구균독소충격증후군으로 진단받고 적절한 항생제치료와 수액공급을 받았다. 연쇄구균독소충격증후군은 생명을 위협하는 종양학적 응급상황으로 즉각적인 처치가 필요하다. 본 예의 환자는 C형 간염보균, 수술 후 증감되는 부종, 지속적인 비스테로이드소염제 복용과 방사선치료가 연쇄구균독소충격증후군을 일으킨 인자들로 생각되어진다.

Streptococcus pneumoniae associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (SpHUS) is one of the causes of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome, and increasingly reported. They are more severe and leave more long-term sequelae than more prevalent, typical hemolytic uremic syndrome. But it is not so easy to diagnose SpHUS for several reasons (below), and there was no diagnostic criteria of consensus. A 18 month-old-girl with sudden onset of oliguria and generalized edema was admitted through the emergency room. She had pneumonia with pleural effusion and laboratory findings of HUS, DIC, and positive direct Coombs' test. As DIC or SpHUS was suspected, we started to treat her with broad spectrum antibiotics, transfusion of washed RBC and replacement of antithrombin III. On the $3^{rd}$ day, due to severe hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) was started. She showed gradual improvement in 4 days on CRRT and discharged in 16 days of hospital care. At the follow up to one year, she has maintained normal renal function without proteinuria and hypertension. We report this case with review of articles including recently suggested diagnostic criteria of SpHUS.

In Oriental Medical theory, origin of kidney's weakness or atrophy is shen qi(腎氣) and function of san jiao(三焦) deteriorate, it result in a passage of evacuation is blocked. - In Oriental Medicine, Shen(腎) take charge of storing and evacuating function, by taking qi(氣) of the five viscera and the six bowels. - The cause of reducing of shen qi and san jiao's evacuative function is xu han(Emptiness and Coldness) of the five viscera and the six bowels' activity. So we do not treat only kidney, but we also must focus the five viscera and the six bowels' organic function and ying wei's function. A Renal Failure is similar in symptom to Kwan-kyuk(關格), oliguria or anuria, edema, Hu-son(虛損), Sin-pung(腎風) and Yuk-kuk(六極) in chenxiang(沈香). We grasp symptom of 7 cases of chronic renal failure, and diagnose its pathology based on Sa-jin(四診), and prescribed herbal medicines. And in the point of the chenxiang, we separate two group, Ater one is taken herbal medicine with chenxiang and the other is only taken herbal medicine with no using chenxiang, we compared the rate of treating with only herbal and herbal compounded chenxiang. We repeat medical examination for continuation of effective result, report clinical progress and result which based on this examination.

A Cocker spaniel (7-year-old, female) was presented with one week of anorexia, halitosis, oral ulcer, intermittent vomiting, acute weight loss and 3-day history of oliguria. The patient was diagnosed with acute on chronic kidney disease and pancreatitis. Hemodialysis was continued three times a week (total 7 sessions) with improved clinical signs and kidney panel, but presented with another episode of abdominal distention, respiratory distress, and large bowel diarrhea. Echocardiography revealed nearly totally occlusive thrombus in the cranial vena cava, as well as a right atrial mass of approximately $2cm{\times}1cm$. The patient was treated with catheter removal, thrombolysis and anticoagulation therapy with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. During anticoagulation therapy, size of atrial thrombus was not changed and heart function was not improved after treatment. Since clinical signs were deteriorated, the patient was euthanized by owner's request. Catheter-related giant thrombus in right atrium is a rare complication and treatment guideline for atrial thrombus does not exist. This case is first report of hemodialysis catheter-induced thrombus in Korea.

A 21-year-old healthy Korean man worked on a building construction site every day for almost 2 months and exercised every day for 1 or 2 hours after working hard.

He complained of severe trapezius pain and aches in his left calf 3 days after joining the Navy training. Testing revealed creatine phosphokinase (CPK) 6260 U/L, myogloblin 176 mcg/L in the urine, liver enzymes increased, and oliguria, suggesting rhabdomyolysis. He recovered with intravenous fluids without any complications.
