    Abstract Recently, non-pharmacological treatments are gaining increasing importance for improving the quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of conducting extensive research on Chuna manual therapy (CMT). This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of CMT adjuvant to Western medicine (WM) in patients with COPD. Forty patients with COPD were randomized into two groups in a 1:1 ratio: experimental (CMT plus WM) and control (WM only) groups. The CMT intervention was administered once a week for eight weeks. The primary outcome measured was the 6-min walk distance (6MWD). Secondary outcomes measured were: forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), assessments using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for dyspnea, the COPD Assessment Test (CAT), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), and the EuroQoL five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D). The mean differences in FEV1 (L) between Weeks 1 and 8 were statistically significant between the groups (

    Abstract Background/aim: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), the most widely used pharmaceuticals, induce various adverse effects, including gastrointestinal injuries, such as ulcers and bleeding. Animal models of NSAID-induced small intestinal injury (NSI) have been extensively employed for the development of preventive and therapeutic agents. However, some experimental variations related to feeding times have been observed following NSI induction. This study aimed to investigate the impact of feeding time on an NSI mouse model.
    Materials and methods: The mice were divided into eight groups: normal, sham, and model groups (with feeding times of 2 h, 6 h, 10 h, 14 h, 18 h, and 22 h; n=10 in each group). The mice were fasted for 18 h before the injection of indomethacin (15 mg/kg, subcutaneously), except for the normal group. Food supply was halted at specific time points (2 h, 6 h, 10 h, 14 h, 18 h, and 22 h); however, the normal and sham groups were continuously fed throughout the experiment. The length of the small intestine was measured, and histological analysis was performed 24 h after induction.
    Results: Up to 14 h after induction, NSI, indicated by small intestine shortening, remained consistent, with a reduction in length of approximately 10-20%. However, feeding for more than 14 h significantly exacerbated NSI, both anatomically and histologically.
    Conclusion: The ulcerative changes observed in the small intestine 14 h after indomethacin injection may be closely associated with the influence of food on NSI.

    Abstract Background: When patients continue to experience cough despite conventional treatment, East Asian traditional medicine (EATM) including herbal medicine and/or acupuncture has been frequently used. Previous systematic reviews of EATM treatment for chronic cough have been conducted mainly on herbal medicine, targeting patients with conditions that cause cough. In clinical practice, EATM interventions are not limited to herbal medicine, and considering that chronic cough is often caused by two or more conditions or unspecific causes, a comprehensive investigation is clinically relevant. We examined the current research status of EATM for chronic cough.
    Methods: Based on Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review methodological framework, a total of six English, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese electronic databases were searched on August 2022. Any clinical studies on EATM targeting chronic cough patients (regardless of their cause) were included.
    Results: Among 474 included studies, the study designs were mainly randomized controlled trials (72.4%), and the population was evenly distributed between children and adults. The cause of cough was not reported in most studies (56.1%). The common cause of cough was upper airway cough syndrome and post-respiratory infection (9.5%, each), followed by mixed cause (7.6%), nonspecific cause (5.9%), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (4.0%). EATM was conducted for a mean of 19.1 days, and herbal medicine was the most common (80.6%). Conventional medication was frequently used as a control (81.2%). For outcomes, the total effective rate was the most frequently utilized (94.3%), followed by cough severity (53.8%). EATM treatment showed positive outcomes in most studies.
    Conclusions: In future EATM studies, it is necessary to either specify the cause of chronic cough or to report that the study was targeting nonspecific chronic cough. In addition, high-quality studies assessing the efficacy of EATM with placebo control treatment should be conducted, using validated evaluation tools.

    Abstract Background: In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management, greater emphasis has been placed on symptomatic improvement and enhanced quality of life in patients. Manual therapy among respiratory rehabilitation programs has received much attention recently, with the publication of numerous studies. In South Korea, a method known as Chuna Manual Therapy (CMT) has been applied in the management of COPD patients and in clinical practice, but the clinical basis for safety and effectiveness is yet to be established. Therefore, rigorously designed randomized controlled trials are required. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of assessing the add-on effect and safety of CMT administered with standard Western medicine therapy for the treatment of COPD.
    Methods: This is a randomized, single-blind, single-center clinical pilot trial. Patients with COPD receiving standard drug therapy are randomly divided into an experimental group (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20) at a 1:1 ratio. The experimental group receives CMT adding to the standard medical therapy once a week for 8 weeks. The control group receives only the standard drug treatment. The trial is conducted with an outcome assessor and statistician blinding. The primary outcome is the 6-minute walk test. The secondary outcomes include the pulmonary function test, the Modified Medical Research Council, visual analog scale for dyspnea, COPD assessment test, quality of life using the St. George's respiratory questionnaire, EuroQOL five dimensions questionnaire, and Korean pattern identification questionnaire. Adverse events are also be evaluated.
    Conclusions: The results of this study will provide the feasibility of a large-scale clinical trial to establish high-quality clinical evidence of CMT for COPD.

    Abstract Background: Eunkyosan (EKS) and Samsoeum (SSE), which are called Yin qiao san and Shen su yin in Chinese, are commonly used herbal medicines for the common cold in East Asian countries. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EKS and SSE for treating the common cold. Methods: A randomized, patient-assessor-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, and multicenter clinical trial was conducted. Adult participants who had one or more cold within 48 h before screening, were randomly allocated to EKS, SSE, or placebo groups. The recruitment goal was planned to be 375 participants. They took an EKS, SSE, or placebo, thrice daily for up to 8 days. The primary outcome was the change in the total score of the Wisconsin Upper Respiratory Symptom Scale-21-Korean version (WURSS-21-K) on day 6 compared to the baseline. The secondary outcomes included visual analog scale (VAS) scores and the duration of symptoms was assessed throughout the trial. Results: A total of 128 participants were enrolled and 44, 42, and 42 were allocated to the EKS, SSE, and placebo groups, respectively. This study was prematurely terminated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we were unable to recruit all the planned participants (n = 375). EKS showed significant clinical effectiveness over the placebo group in the treatment of the common cold, as assessed by the total, symptom, and quality of life scores of WURSS-21-K and VAS, whereas SSE showed significant improvement over the placebo group in terms of WURSS-21-K symptom score. No severe adverse events were reported. Conclusions: Although EKS and SSE demonstrated statistically significant clinical effectiveness and safety in patients with the common cold, we failed to recruit our pre-planned number of participants. Future definitive full-scale studies are needed to confirm these results. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials. gov, registration number: NCT04073511. Registered on 29 August 2019.

    Abstract In traditional Korean medicine, Chungsangboha-tang (CSBHT) and its modified forms are used to treat various respiratory disorders, including asthma. This study aimed to identify research trends, clarify the effectiveness of CSBHT and related prescriptions, and lay a foundation for future research. We conducted a literature review using PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, National Digital Science Links, Korean Medical Database, Wanfang Data, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. We analyzed 25 studies, including 5 in vitro studies, 6 animal studies, and 14 human studies. Many studies evaluated the efficacy of CSBHT and its related prescriptions, including experimental studies on its effectiveness in asthma. The main mechanism of action involves the anti-inflammatory effect caused by the regulation of various immune cells, cytokines, and chemokines. In addition, clinical trials on asthma reported the benefits of CSBHT and its related prescriptions. However, there has been no randomized controlled study of clinical trials on the clinical effectiveness of CSBHT in asthma. Therefore, large-scale randomized controlled studies should be conducted in the future.

    Abstract Purpose: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is an important symptom affecting the quality of life of patients with lung cancer. However, research on the characteristics of CRF in lung cancer and their relationship to cancer treatment is limited. We aimed to explore the unique features of CRF in patients with lung cancer, and investigate the influencing factors.
    Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 adult patients with lung cancer until data saturation was reached. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. An inductive coding process and deductive content analysis incorporating the established CRF domains were employed. Patient data from electronic medical records were used for data triangulation.
    Results: The analysis revealed five themes of CRF: (1) energy depletion, the double burden of illness and treatment, and daily life impediments; (2) feeling down and anxious; (3) neurovascular disturbances and changes in sensory perception; (4) cognitive impairment; and (5) personal and social isolation. CRF tended to improve over time, except for persistent emotional fatigue beyond 6 months. Patients who underwent surgery followed by adjuvant cancer treatment exhibited the most diverse CRF symptoms. The concurrent chemoradiation therapy group experienced significant physical fatigue, whereas the radiosurgery group reported distinct emotional fatigue. Certain factors, such as exercise, can serve as both alleviating and aggravating factors for CRF.
    Conclusion: Tailored interventions that take into account the multidimensional symptoms of CRF and patient characteristics are crucial. These findings will guide healthcare professionals when implementing patient-centered symptom management and patient education.
