두경부 종양의 1%를 차지하는 타액선 종양은 조직학적인 다양성 때문에 진단과 치료결정이 어렵고 자세한 병력이 중요하다. 1987년 1월부터 1992년 12월까지 본원 이비인후과에서 조직학적으로 확진된 타액선 종양 70례를 대상으로 후향적인 방법으로 성별 분포, 연령별 분포, 부위별 분포, 양성종양의 크기, 병리조직학적 분류, 중상발현 기간, 임상증상, 경부 림프절전이, 병기별 분포, 치료, 안면신경마비 및 재발 둥을 비교 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1) 이하선에 35례(50%), 악하선에 16례(23%), 부타액선에 19례(27%) 발생했다. 2) 양성종양이 55례(79%), 악성종양이 15례(21%) 였고, 양성종양은 다형성선종이 49례(89%), 악성종양은 선낭포암이 6례(40%)로 가장 많았다. 3)증상발현 기간은 1-5년이 29례(41%)로 가장 많았다. 4) 이하선과 악하선 수술후 안면신경마비가 9례(18%)에서 있었고, 재발은 4례(6%)에서 발생하였다.

Background: Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic substance that humans can be exposed to occupationally, and cases of hydrogen sulfide poisoning of workers in industrial sites are commonly reported. However, there have been no cases of poisoning of the public due to an unauthorized discharge of wastewater, so it is important to describe this incident. Case presentation: In a small village in Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea, accounts of a terrible stench had been reported. A 26-year-old man who lived and worked in a foul-smelling area was taken to the emergency room with a headache, dizziness, nausea, and repeated syncope. A subsequent police and Ministry of Environment investigation determined that the cause of the stench was the unauthorized discharge of 9 tons of wastewater containing hydrogen sulfide through a stormwater pipe while the villagers were sleeping. The patient had no previous medical history or experience of symptoms. Leukocytes and cardiac markers were elevated, an electrocardiogram indicated biatrial enlargement, left ventricular hypertrophy, and corrected QT interval prolongation. Myocardial hypertrophy was detected on a chest computed tomography scan, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was confirmed on echocardiography. After hospitalization, cardiac marker concentrations declined, symptoms improved, and the patient was discharged after 7 days of hospitalization. There was no recurrence of symptoms after discharge. Conclusions: We suspect that previously unrecognized heart disease manifested or was aggravated in this patient due to exposure to hydrogen sulfide. Attention should be paid to the possibility of unauthorized discharge of hydrogen sulfide, etc., in occasional local incidents and damage to public health. In the event of such an accident, it is necessary to have government guidelines in place to investigate health impact and follow-up clinical management of exposed residents.

Purpose: To evaluate the prevalence of esophageal reflux-induced symptoms after gastrectomy owing to gastric cancer and assess the relationship between esophageal reflux-induced symptoms and quality of life. Materials and Methods: From January 2012 to May 2012, 332 patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The patients had a history of curative resection for gastric cancer at least 6 months previously without recurrence, other malignancy, or ongoing chemotherapy. Esophageal reflux-induced symptoms were evaluated with the GerdQ questionnaire. The quality of life was evaluated with the European Organization for Research and Treatment QLQ-C30 and STO22 questionnaires. Results: Of the 332 patients, 275 had undergone subtotal gastrectomy and 57 had undergone total gastrectomy. The number of GerdQ(+) patients was 58 (21.1%) after subtotal gastrectomy, and 7 (12.3%) after total gastrectomy (P=0.127). GerdQ(+) patients showed significantly worse scores compared to those for GerdQ(-) patients in nearly all functional and symptom QLQ-C30 scales, with the difference in the mean score of global health status/quality of life and diarrhea symptoms being higher than in the minimal important difference. Additionally, in the QLQ STO22, GerdQ(+) patients had significantly worse scores in every symptom scale. The GerdQ score was negatively correlated with the global quality of life score (r=-0.170, P=0.002). Conclusions: Esophageal reflux-induced symptoms may develop at a similar rate or more frequently after subtotal gastrectomy compared to that after total gastrectomy, and decrease quality of life in gastric cancer patients. To improve quality of life after gastrectomy, new strategies are required to prevent or reduce esophageal reflux.

9개월 된 남환이 우연히 발견된 심장 종괴 때문에 내원하였다. 환자는 특별한 증상은 없었으며, 혈역학적 이상 증상도 없었다. 심초음파 검사상 상당히 커다란 좌심실 자유벽의 종괴가 보였으며, 그 종괴는 좌심실 유출로를 막고 있지는 않았다. 좌심실 자유벽 종괴를 최대한 절제하였고, 병리학적 진단은 심장 섬유종이었다. 수술 후 7개월 간의 추적 관찰 기간 동안 부정맥이나 종양의 재발은 보이지 않고 있다.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effects of an oriental medical treatment on the patient with allergic purpura. Methods A 7-year-old female patient, who was suffering from the purpura on her extremities: swelling and arthralgia on her lower extremities, was treated by herb medicine, acupuncture and pediluvium. Results Treated only with oriental medicine, the patient's allergic symptoms were improved. When we checked back on her condition after 2 months later, she did not show any recurrence of the flares, and regained her health. Conclusions This study shows that oriental medical treatments are effective on allergic purpura, but further clinical studies are needed.

Osteoblastoma is an uncommon lesion of bone that occurred in jaw bone. The etiology of the Osteoblastoma is still undiscovered. The most frequent symptom is consistent pain which is often severe, and localized swelling and bone expansion mat occur. We experienced a case of osteo-blastoma which occurred on the lingual surface of mandibular body. It resembled tours mandibularis clinically, alveolar abscess radiologically. Biopsy was done to evaluable the tours-like bony mass. The results of excisional biopsy demonstrated an osteoblastoma. The symptoms are subsided and no signs related with recurrence have been noted. Our experience and many literatures demonstrated that Osteoblastoma must be included in differential diagnosis of bone-producing lesion.

Labial adhesion in prepubertal girls is a common gynecologic problems. The labia minora are fused by thin transparent or thick fibrous membrane in the midline from the clitoris to posterior fourchet. The prevalence of labial adhesion may be even greater because many children with labial fusions are asymptomatic and these cases remain unreported. They are often unrecognized by physician and parents because most of symptomatic children complained urinary symptoms. The authors experienced 2 cases of labial adhesion in girls; one asymptomatic partial fusion and the other symptomatic complete fusion. These lesions were treated successfully by mechanical separation of labial adhesion and petroleum ointment (Vaseline) application without recurrence in follow-ups.

Objectives This study observed the efficacy of bee venom pharmacopuncture on the treatment of Molluscum Contagiosum commonly manifesting in children. Methods 104 patients admitted for Molluscum Contagiosum at Love Blossoming Oriental medicine clinic from August 2005 to August 2006 were administered with Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture and measured and analyzed changes in symptoms. Results 1. Regardless of age or duration of Molluscum Contagiosum, all 104 patients showed improvement. 2. Recurrence of Molluscum Contagiosum was not noticeable when treated with Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture, and the duration of treatment was significantly shorter than treating with conventional allopathic ointment. 3. Regardless of size or location of Molluscum Contagiosum, most cases improved with one or two treatments. Conclusion Based on above findings, we can deduce Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture has superior anti-viral effects on the pox virus of molluscum contagiosum (MCV1,2).
