Although most cases of tension-type headache(TTH) are myogenic headache, in some cases, arthralgia appears, such as the disorder of the temporamandibular joint. This study is designed to compare the clinical patterns of arthralgia to those of myalgia, when both symptoms are co-existing. Among 167 patients who visit our clinic during a certain period, whose chief complaint was TTH, 18 patients were the arthralgia group, 50 patients were the myalgia group, and 99 patients who have both arthralgia and myalgia were the arthromyalgia group. Three groups were asked to answer the questionnaires about their age, gender, and oral parafunction such as bruxism or clenching. Then we gathered statistics on the data from the accomplished questionnaires. 1. There was statistical significance in age among the three groups(p=0.02). 2. There was no statistical significance in sex and oral parafunction among the three groups. 3. There was statistical significance the myalgia group was older than the arthromyalgia group(p<0.03). The results of the study show that as patients become older, TTH with myalgia happens more frequently than TTH with arthralgia and myalgia does.

Generally, Tension-Type Headache(TTH) patients exhibit muscle pain, but can also have TMJ pain, which includes mouth opening limitation or joint sounds. The purpose of our study is to observe the clinical pain characteristics between TTH patients with muscle pain and TMJ pain. One hundred sixty-seven patients were diagnosed with TTH according to the questionnaires based on the International Headache Society's proposal on the diagnostic criteria of TTH. The patients were classified into three group; arthralgia group (18 patients), myalgia group (50 patients) and arthromyalgia group (99 patients). TTH patients with pericranial muscle pain were classified in the myalgia group. TTH patients with temporal region pain were classified in the arthralgia group. TTH patients with both types of pain were classified in the arthromyalgia group. The parameters in the diagnostic criteria such as quality, intensity, laterality of pain, and aggravation due to physical activities were compared among the three groups. 1. There were no significant differences in the quality of pain among the three groups. 2. There were no significant differences in the intensity of pain among the three groups. 3. There were no significant differences in the laterality of pain among the three groups. 4. A higher percentage of patients in the arthromyalgia group experienced headaches that were aggravated due to physical activity (p=0.03) compared to the other groups. The results of this study show that TTH patients with both arthralgia (TMJ pain) and myalgia (pericranial muscle pain) are more aggravated by physical activity than TTH patients with either one.

Trans-posterior septal posterior arthroscopic portals are useful in performing arthroscopic diagnosis and treatment of the lesions located in posterior aspect of knee joints. Except inferior surface of posterior horn of lateral meniscus, we easily observed entire lateral compartment, especially inferior surface of anterior horn and lateral tibial condyle by figure of 4 position through posteromedial trans-posterior septal arthroscopic portal. And it was possible to obtain visual field from posterior aspect and we could use anteromedial and anterolateral portals for instrumentation without clouding. So, this procedure may be useful in performing surgery of lateral compartment especially, anterior aspect in the knee joints.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of aqua-acupuncture a mixture of bos taurus domesticus and selenarctos thiberanus, and bos taurus domesticus, selenarctos thiberanus and Moschus moschiferus on an animal model of arthritic pain. Under halothane anesthesia, arthritic pain was induced by the injection of $2\%$ carrageenan into the left knee joint cavity of male Sprague-Dawley rats. The responses of afferents to a movement cycle were recorded before and after aqua-acupuncture. The aqua-acupuncture at acupoints reduced neural responses to noxious movement stimulation. Aqua-acupuncture at Zusanli inhibited neural responses of articular afferents to noxious stimulation more than at Hegu. These results indicate that aqua-acupuncture of a mixture of bos taurus domesticus and selenarctos thiberanus, and bos taurus domesticus, selenarctos thiberanus and Moschus moschiferusmay provide a potent strategy in relieving arthritic pain.

Purpose: We reviewed the effectiveness and the result of arthroscopic resection for ganglion cyst of posterior cruciate ligament(PCL) through the posterior trans-septal approach. Material and Method: Seven patients with symptomatic ganglion cyst of the PCL were treated with arthroscopic resection using posterior trans-septal approach. We analyzed advantages of the posterior trans-septal approach and presence of intra articular problem. Knee function was assessed using the lysholm knee scale. Results: The overall result for the 7 knees were very satisfied in all. We found that four of seven patients had intra articular problems, and past history of trauma could be found in 3 cases. The Lysholm knee scale was increased from average 93.3 points preoperatively to average 97.8 points postoperatively. Conclusion: Arthroscopic posterior trans-septal approach shows an effective technique for complete resection of cyst and evaluation of the combined posterior compartment injury.
