Kakkonkokato is a special formula used for the treatment of rosacea-like dermatitis lesions in the nasal region, but very few cases treated with this formulation have been reported so far. Here, we report three patients with refractory facial eruptions of rosacea-like dermatitis treated successfully with kakkonkokato. Case1was a 39-year-old man who presented with a 15-year history of rosacea-like dermatitis lesions in the nasal region. After 3 weeks' treatment with kakkonkokato, a marked improvement of his lesions was seen, with disappearance of the redness of his face. Case 2 was a 56-year-old woman who presented with a prolonged history of itchy eruptions around her mouth and nasal region. After 8 weeks' treatment with kakkonkokato, an almost complete disappearance of her eruptions was observed. Case 3 was a 26-year-old woman who presented with atopic dermatitis and intractable erythema under her nose, which was refractory to treatment with steroid ointments and antiallergic agents. After 2 months' treatment with kakkonkokato, her erythema completely resolved, along with improvement of the systemic lesions of atopic dermatitis. The observations in these three cases suggest that kakkonkokato may be a useful formula for the treatment of not only rosacea-like dermatitis in the nasal region, but also of refractory facial eruptions of other causes.

[Follow-up studies were made of 35 patient who underwent laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy for 22 monthoon averages]
The conditions of 35 patients were observed consecutively after laminoplasty.
The mean JOA scores were improved from 8.7 to 12.5. Postoperative JOA scores correlated with preoperarive JOA scores (r=0.60, p<0.01) and ages at the time of the operation (r=-0.45, p<0.01). The period from the onset of the disease to the operation and the vertebral canal diameters didnot [No significant correlation who found between- and-] influence the operative results of the operation.
