Because in our model the cannula is permanently implanted, additional inocula can be delivered. Here we detail our rat brainstem glioma model and discuss its usefulness for the investigation of these tumor in humans.
Nowadays, it is rare to see Yang min disease in the acute fever phase. We report three cases of acute fever successfully treated with daijokito. Case 1 : An 82-year-old male with suspected viral infection. He had a persistent fever of 38. Because of abdominal fullness, constipation and wheeze, we administered daijokito. These symptoms disappeared, his hypoxemia improved, and his fever went down to 36 , accompanied by considerable defecation. Case 2 : A 67-year-old female with suspected central hyperthermia. She had a persistent fever of 38. Because of abdominal fullness and constipation, we administered daijokito. These symptoms disappeared and her fever went down to 36 with considerable defecation. Case 3 : A 43-year-old male who was diagnosed with paralytic ileus accompanied by cyclic neutropenia. Three days after his temperature rose to 38 , and constipation, abdominal fullness and pain appeared. After administering daijokito, these symptoms disappeared and his fever went down to 36 with considerable defecation. When abdominal fullness and constipation appear after a fever continues, we believe the administration of daijokito should be considered whether western medicine has been applied or not. daijokito, fever, constipation, Kampo therapy
Otsujito is a well-known herbal preparation used for treating hemorrhoidal disease. However, we considered the anatomical similarities between the lips and the anus, and here report a case of inflammation of the lips with blood stasis successfully treated with otsujito as well.The case was a 59-year-old woman suffering from eczema on her face and neck. The eczema showed a tendency to improve with herbal treatment, but inflammation and pruritus of the lips continued. Taking into account the presence of blood stasis, we included otsujito in the treatment and her symptoms improved.Otsujito contains bupleurum, cimicifuga, scutellaria, and rhubarb, which dissipates heat, and angelica, which resolves blood stasis. Therefore, we consider that inflammation of the lips with blood stasis can be treated with otsujito.inflammation of lips, otsujito, blood stasis (oketsu)
We report two cases successfully treated with tsumyakushigyakuto containing aconite root (uzu), instead of processed aconite root (bushi). The first case was a 33-year-old female. She had suffered from itching rashes in spite of being prescribed tsumyakushigyakuto with processed aconite root. Because she was in an extreme cold state, we changed the processed aconite root in her tsumyakushigyakuto to aconite root. Her itching rashes subsequently improved. The second case was a 42-year-old male. He had suffered from watery diarrhea and general fatigue in spite of being prescribed tsumyakushigyakuto with processed aconite root. Because he was in an extreme cold state, we changed the processed aconite root in his tsumyakushigyakuto to aconite root, and his watery diarrhea and general fatigue improved.We consider that using tsumyakushigyakuto with aconite root may be more effective than using it with processed aconite root in an extreme cold state.tsumyakushigyakuto
