임상에 있어 눈에 적용하는 약물의 적용은 정상적인 조직을 손상시키지 않으면서 원하는 안구 조직에 목표로 하는 용량의 안약을 전달하는 것이 목적이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 간단한 목적도 실제로 환자의 성격, 안구 조직의 민감성, 그리고 친지질성 각막 외피세포(lipophilic corneal epithelium), 친수성 각막 그리고 공막의 간질층(hydrophilic corneal and sclera stroma), 결막의 임파 조직, 맥락막의 혈관 등, Blood-ocular barrier등 안구의 조직 자체의 장벽들로 인해 어려움을 내포하고 있는 것 역시 사실이다. 평소에 처방하고 있는 안약들을 조금 더 효과적으로 전달하기 위해 필요한 눈에 대한 이해에 대해 다루어 보도록 한다.

The authors presented the human Thelaziasis case in Korea, with the review of the literatures. The patient was 60-year-old farmer who had lived in Chunchoun since birth. He complained lacrimation and foreign body sensation of the left eye. Total 10 worms, appeared to be slender milky-white nematodes, were extracted from the left upper conjuctival sac by authors. Micrograph morphological features are as follows： Three male worms are 8.83∼9.32 mm in length, 0.24∼0.25 mm in width, 259∼263 cuticular striations per mm, and showing cloaca with spicules. seven female worms are 11.91∼12.77 mm in length, 0.25∼0.26 mm in width, 259∼289 cuticular striations per mm, and vulva opening locating anterior to esophago-intestinal junction. From the above findings, these nematodes were confirmed as Thelazia callipaeda Railliet and Henry, 1910.

When severely large corneal perforation occurs, penetrating keratoplasty is a treatment of choice alternative to enucleation. A twelve-year-old male Shih Tzu was referred with perforated corneal ulcer secondary to keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Perforated cornea was directly sutured using 10-0 non-absorbable suture material, and rotational conjunctival flap was performed. However, re-perforation of cornea by wound dehiscence was observed at 1 month after operation. The yellowish lens escaped outside the orbit during corneal re-perforation, the diagnosis was re-perforated corneal ulcer, moderate corneal edema, moderate KCS (STT; 6 mm) and endophthalmitis caused by escaped lens outside orbit. Accordingly, penetrating keratoplasty (PK) and evisceration through corneal recipient site and intrascleral silicone ball prosthesis were carried out as the planned treatment, and resulted in good cosmetic improvement compared to enucliation. However, exposure of silicone ball occurred at the 9 months after the surgery due to the irritation of implant, thus enucleation was performed. In perforated large corneal ulcer with severe intraocular damage, evisceration with silicone ball insertion with PK would be alternative treatment choice to improve the cosmetic appearance.

To investigate the distribution of dry eye and to accept diagnosis methods of dry eye in ophthalmic shop, this study was performed on 81 persons(male : 49, female : 32). 1. We divided two group for diagnosing dry eye by dry eye screening questionnaire : one was dry eye symptom group(49.3%) and the other was non-dry eye symptom group(50.7%). 2. Non-invasive break-up time(NIBUT) which was measured by using Tear $scope^{(R)}$ (Killer. co)was longer than invasive break-up time(IBUT). 3. A blink rate in dry eye symptom group(10%) was measured lesser than 10 cycle/min, in non-dry eye symptom group(14.9%). 4. In shirmer test there were lesser than 10mm/5min in dry eye symptom group(67.5%), in non-dry eye symptom group(39%). 5. Cornea and conjunctival staining by rose bengal represented Mild 25%, medium 36.25%, extreme 38.75% in dry eye symptom group. Non-dry eye symptom group was showed Mild 19.51%, medium 14.63%, extreme 12.19%. 6. These results showed that the patient showed dry eye symptom in 3 items of eye examination was 22.5%, 4 items 25%, 5 items 30%, 6 items 15%.

It is mainly due to the toxic gases, produced from the material combustion, threatens human body in case of urban railway car like subway which passes through underground tunnel. In the field of railway industry, fire accidents was not frequent but occurs in each country and, the causes was investigated. The advanced country established the test standard (e.g., BS, EN) to measure the toxic gases quantitatively and, have applied to enhance the fire safety of railway car. We must also follow the procedures to use gangway material for railway car as stated the Safety regulation for the urban railway car. In this study, various gangway materials(silicon, synthtic rubber, soaltapulin) are used to investigate element of toxic gases when the fire occurs. The amount of toxic gases measured from the ISO 5659 chamber using cone heater was measured and compared the results for each materials.

최근 들어 알레르기 질환이 급증하고 있다. 국내 알레르기 환자 수는 6백만 명 이상이며 서구화된 생활환경, 공해, 각종 화학물질 사용의 증가로 인해 환자는 계속 증가 추세이다. 현재 추정되는 환자수 만도 전 인구의 15~20%선, 우리 나라 성인 중 약 10%, 어린이는 약 20%에서 나타나고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 대표적인 알레르기 질환은 꽃가루에 의한 화분증과 집먼지 진드기, 동물의 털 등이 주원인인 알레르기성 비염.결막염.천식.피부염 등이 있다. 그러나 알레르기 질환은 주위에서 흔히 접하면서도 일반인들에게 막연히 알려져 있고, 단지 완치가 힘들어 난치병 정도로만 인식되어 있다. 알레르기 질환 보통 대부분의 사람에게 있어서는 아무런 문제도 일으키지 않는 물질이 어떤 사람에게만 두드러기, 비염, 천식 등 이상과민반응을 일으키는 것을 말한다. 알레르기도 우리 몸 속에서 일어나는 면역반응의 한 종류지만 몸에 유해한 반응을 말하며 요즘 들어서는 과민성이란 의미로 사용된다.

A four-year-old intact female poodle was referred with a history of ocular discharge and corneal ulcer to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. The dog was diagnosed severe keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye) on bilateral eye. As the dog was not response to the ophthalmic medication, acupuncture treatment was applied to the dog. After 2 months from treatment, the dog was completely recovered from keratoconjunctivitis sicca. It is suggested that traditional veterinary medicine might be effective alternative therapy for the patient with keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
