Objective : This study researched the application of Sa-am acupuncture for the treatment of hiccup. Methods : We investigated the literature for Sa-am acupuncture treatment and traditional acupuncture treatment for hiccup. Result & Conclusion : In traditional oriental medicine, hiccup is considered to be caused by uprising stomach gi, whereas, in Sa-am acupuncture, it is considered to be caused by weakness and impurity of lung gi. In Sa-am acupuncture, hiccup is divided into five classes; reverse hiccup (treated with large intestine tonification), wind hiccup (treated with liver tonification), fire hiccup (treated with heart tonification), damp hiccup (treated with spleen tonification) and cold hiccup (treated with kidney tonification). In traditional oriental medicine, hiccup is treated by way of lowering the uprising stomach gi, while, in Sa-am acupuncture, hiccup is treated by way of removing whichever of the original cause of hiccups (impurity of large intestine, damage to liver, dry heat of heart, impairment of spleen, exhaustion of kidney) caused the weakness and the impurity of lung gi. In Sa-am acupuncture, the therapeutic mode for all the five causes of hiccups is tonification mode.

Persistent hiccup is defined as duration lasting longer than 48 hours. Reflex arc of hiccup is divided into three parts : afferent, central, efferent. Afferent portion of the neural pathway of hiccup formation is composed of vagus nerve, phrenic nerve, and sympathetic chain arising from T6 to T12. Efferent limb is phrenic nerve. Hiccup center is located in brain stem, midbrain, reticular system and hypothalamus. Persistent hiccup is very difficult to treat by conventional methods. We performed cervical epidural block of the phrenic nerve root for three patients suffering from persistent hiccup. The therapeutic effect was perfect. The mechanism of the cervical epidural block is not yet defined however it is thought to block the efferent nerve fibers and suppress the reflex arc of hiccup. We conclude cervical epidural block is relatively safe and very effective for treating persistent hiccup.

본 논문에서는 연속 미디어에 있어서의 hiccup-free 디스플레이, startup latency와 많은 관련이 있는 데이터 배치 방법 및 startup latency를 줄이기 위한 복제 기술(완전복제, 선택복제, 부분복제)을 검토하고 그중 부분복제 기술에 있어서 그룹에 비어있는 슬롯이 없는 경우 request migration이 불가능하여 hiccup이 발생할 수 있는 경우에 그룹의 슬롯을 예약함으로써 hiccup을 줄인 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 슬롯 예약 알고리즘은 시스템의 처리율은 다소 줄었지만 hiccup-free 디스플레이가 가능하도록 하였다.

Hiccup is one of common symptoms clinically and caused by various etiologies. We have tried researching the effect of herbal medicines(Taeumjowi-tang) to treat a Taeumin patient with severe hiccup, who is presumed cerebral vascular disease, and evaluated hiccup's a time in a minute and hiccup's total time in a day. The symptoms, not only the patient's hiccup, also his general condition including the dysphagia and right side hemiparesisis, are improved considerably. The constitutional treatment with Taeumin herbal medicines(Taeumjowi-tang) may have an effect on the management of hiccup by control of Qi and Fluid Metabolism.

Vicera and Bowels related with Hiccup are lung, spleen, stomach, and heart. 4. The treatment of hiccup are dispel cold by warming the middle warmer due to stomach cold, expel the heat-evil to loose hollow-organ due to rising up of stomach yin, regulate vital energy and dissipate phlegm due to stagnation of vital energy and stagnation of phlegm, warm and recuperate both of spleen and kidney due to spleen and kidney yang deficiency, nourish the stomach to promote the production of body fluid due to deficiency of stomach yin. 5. Regarding neuropsychiatric aspect of hiccup, qi movement disorder was the main mechanism of disease and qi depression was the main cause. The prescriptions for neuropsychiatric hiccup were Mokhwangjogisan Pyunjakjunghyangsan, Daegwakhyangsan, and Haeaedan.

A case of intractable hiccup developed by cavernous hemangioma in the medulla oblongata is reported. There have been only five previously reported cases of medullary cavernoma that triggered intractable hiccup. The patient was a 28-year-old man who was presented with intractable hiccup for 15 days. It developed suddenly, then aggravated progressively and did not respond to any types of medication. On magnetic resonance images, a well-demarcated and non-enhancing mass with hemorrhagic changes was noted in the left medulla oblongata. Intraoperative findings showed that the lesion was fully embedded within the brain stem and pathology confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. The hiccup resolved completely after the operation. Based on the presumption that the medullary cavernoma may trigger intractable hiccup by displacing or compression the hiccup arc of the dorsolateral medulla, surgical excision can eliminate the symptoms, even in the case totally buried in brainstem.

Hiccup is a common clinical symptom, and may be caused from over 100 medical origins. Generally hiccup happens temporarily, and continues only a few seconds or minutes, and is cured easily by physical methods or even by itself. But in some cases, hiccup is so refractory that patients may be tired and very troubled by it. At worst, it may cause death. Intractable hiccup is defined as hiccup persisting for more than 48 hours, and this appears in various diseases. Persistent hiccup is very difficult to treat by conventional methods. A 69-year-old man was admitted due to intractable hiccup without gastroenteral system abnormalities or peripheral nervous systemic involvement. So Paljung-san(八正散) was prescribed. The intensity and frequency of hiccup dramatically improved.

Chronic hiccup is a rare occurrence but can be debilitating for the patient. Treatment of choice is seldom reported. A 83-year-old male was admitted our hospital due to chronic hiccup for 3 months. Chest PA X-ray and chest CT showed a lung mass finding in the right lower lobe. After percutaneous transthoracic needle aspiration, squamous cell lung cancer with abscess formation was confirmed. Within three days of initiation of baclofen treatment. stop of hiccup was obtained. We report a baclofen effect for chronic hiccup.
