Mondor's disease is an uncommon superficial thrombophlebitis of the anterolateral thoraco-ab dominal wall. It's cause is unknown, but it is often associated with recent local trauma, muscular strain, and strenuous exercise. It has clinical features of a palpable, tender, linear cutaneous nodule and is always almost unilateral, and solitary, but rarely multiple. A 39-year-old man presented multiple cord-like tender subcutaneous linear lesions on the left ventrolateral thoracoabdominal wall for 3 weeks. He had done strenuous exercise and stretching for 2 months prior to his visit. Histologic finding revealed thrombophlebitis. The lesion did not involute with systemic and intralesional steroids, but three months later, it disappeared.

Sen gai plant (Zanthoxylum alatum Roxb) belongs to Rutaceae family, was used commonly in India, China, Vietnam as restorative, increasing blood flow, sweat, treating rheumatisms and liver diseases. β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, β-sitosterol-3-O-β-glucopyranosid, vitexin and isovitexin were isolated from leaves of Zanthoxylum alatum Roxb in Vietnam by column chromatography. Chemical structures of these compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods (MS, 1H, 13C NMR and DEPT)

In this study, the contents of steroid hormones and micro-substances in 5 salt-water fishes including Sea-horse, White hering, Garrupa, Selachian and Mackerel were studied. The result demonstrated that: the contents of steroid hormones in 5 mentioned fishes were relatively higher than other salt-water creatures. The study also explored the availability as well as contents of some necessary micro-substances in these salt-water fishes (K, Ca, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn, Se). Although, the ability of using the active elements in the 5 salt-water fishes as medicines to enhance health and prevent diseases is very potential, it needs further studies

High-dose steroid therapy is known as effective adjuvant therapy for refractory bone pain due to metastasis of solid cancer. However, the standard dose and duration have not been established to date. Long term maintenance with steroid therapy is not encouraged due to its potential adverse effects. Here, we report a case of a terminal cancer patient who maintained high dose steroid therapy to alleviate refractory bone pain with complication of systemic fungal infection.

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE), which is a cutaneous form of lupus erythematosus (LE), is generally refractory to a wide range of topical or systemic therapies. Although the main treatment option for DLE is topical steroids, it is often ineffective or likely to produce long-term side effects. New drugs, including tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, have been developed to overcome the adverse effects of steroids and treat the lesions of DLE for a prolonged period. We herein report 4 cases of facial DLE successfully treated with therapeutic adjuvants, topical tacrolimus or pimecrolimus.
