Labial adhesion is a condition in which the left and right labia adhere gother. It was previously thought to be more common in infants and rare in adult women; however, it has been reported that the number of adult cases is increasing as the population ages. We experienced a case of labial adhesion in an elderly woman. The labia majora were firmly adhered and it was difficult to remove them manually, so surgical separation and skin grafting were performed. It was, therefore, considered necessary to know that this case could be present in elderly women. To prevent postoperative re-adhesion, we selected the so-called barrier method using azulene ointment, which resulted in a favorable course. Frequent application of azulene ointment contributed to the treatment and helped to prevent recurrence.

Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is useful as a marker for diagnosis and management of bronchial asthma. We investigated bronchial hyperresponsiveness using the Astograph method. Furthermore, in recent years, MostGraph has attracted increased attention as a method for analyzing respiratory resistance using oscillometry. Therefore, we compared the two methods and investigated the relationship. We recruited 117 individuals whose data were measured by MostGraph and Astograph from a previous study. The levels of Rrs were significantly correlated with each MostGraph index. SGrs/Grscont showed a weak correlation with indicators other than the Ax (R5: r=0.199, p=0.019, R20: r=0.220, p=0.008, X5: r=−0.179, p=0.037, Fres: r=0.195, p=0.021) . The levels of logPD_35Grs, logDmin, and logPD_15Grs exhibited weak correlations with X ₅, Fres, and Ax (logPD_35Grs: X5: r=0.201, p=0.00189, Fres: r=− 0.210, p=0.013, AX: r=−0.169, p=0.049, logDmin: X5: r=0237, p=0.0054, Fres: r=−0.213, p= 0.012, AX: r=−0.177, p=0.038, logPD_15Grs: X5: r=0.236, p=0.0056, Fres: r=−0.215, p=0.011, AX: r=−0.174, p=0.043) . The FEV₁ and MostGraph indicators were significantly correlated, but no relationship was shown with the FeNO. In conclusion, evaluating the results of airway hyperresponsiveness tests using the FeNO, FEV₁, and MostGraph indicators is difficult, but the reactance component may reflect bronchial sensitivity and hyperresponsiveness.
