Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of thoracic self mobilization on balance and gait of acute stroke patients. Methods: Patients (n=10) with acute stroke applied to thoracic self mobilization. There are two thoracic self mobilization of both extension and rotation. Each thoracic self mobilization was performed ten times per direction in a total of three sets and the total time required for two thoracic self mobilization was twenty minutes. The break time between sets was one minute. Balance ability was measured using the timed up and go test and the five times sit to stand test for patients. The 10 meter walk test and the functional gait assessment were used for measurement of gait ability for patients. Results: Significant improvements were observed on balance ability (p<.05) and gait ability (p<.05). Conclusion: These results show that thoracic self mobilization is immediate effective on balance and gait ability. Thus, thoracic self mobilization will help recovery of balance and gait ability in acute stroke patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the influencing factors on the family caregivers burden who have has inpatients with acute stroke. Methods: Subjects were 126 family caregivers who have has inpatients with acute stroke. Data were collected by questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's coefficients and multiple regression. Results: The Anxiety of family caregivers was identified as a determinant of family caregivers burden who have has inpatients with acute stroke by the multiple regression analysis (${\beta}=.58$, p<.001). Gender and low cognitive function of inpatients were significantly related to family caregivers burden. And knowledge about care (r=-.27, p=.002) was correlated with anxiety significantly. Conclusion: The family caregivers burden is not only an important issue for nursing but also major nursing problem to be addressed nurses. Family caregivers with acute stroke inpatients feel more anxiety than family caregivers with other illnesses. The anxiety of family caregivers is important especially to the family caregivers who have to care acute stroke inpatients to reduce their burden.

본 연구는 급성기가 지난 뇌졸중 환자를 위한 치료적 운동 프로그램이 심박동수에 미치는 영향과 부가적으로 뇌졸중 환자의 기능적 상태에 따라 치료적 운동 형태를 알아보기 위해서 시행되었다. 대상자는 뇌졸중이 발생한지 3개월이 지난 23명의 환자이었다. 심박동수의 변화는 대상자가 각자의 치료적 운동을 수행하는 동안 Polar Vantage XL Heart Rate Monitor를 사용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, 치료적 운동 동안 환자의 기능 수준 및 발병 기간에 따른 심박동수와 치료 형태의 차이는 없었다. 또한 전체 치료 시간 중 목표심박동수에 도달하는 시간은 2.47%에 불과하였다. 이는 치료적 운동이 뇌졸중 환자에게 과도한 심혈관 부담을 주지 않을 뿐만 아니라 유산소 훈련의 효과는 거의 존재하지 않음을 의미한다. 따라서 환자의 상태에 적절하고 유산소 훈련 효과를 고려한 치료적 운동 프로그램의 구성이 필요하다.

The water extract of pilose antler of Cervus nippon var. mantchuricus (WEC) was investigated in respect of its effect on ceruloplasmin and $\alpha$$_1$-cysteine protease inhibitor (CPI), which are acute-phase proteins showing increased synthesis following inflammatory stimulus in rat. Ceruloplasmin and CPI were spectrophotometrically determined by the oxidase activity and the inhibitory activity on papain, respectively, and their changes in the concentrations in plasma or serum were examined after oral administration of 0.04% WEC to rats during 7 days following inflammation by subcutaneous injection of turpentine oil or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). WEC suppressed the maximum increases in ceruloplasmin and CPI on the 4th day after injection of turpentine oil, but the suppression in ceruloplasmin was more potent than that in CPI. On inflammation by LPS the suppression of the maximum increase in ceruloplasmin by WEC was found on the 2nd day, but the result was less significant from that obtained by the treatment with turpentine oil. Administration of WEC for at least 4 days was required to suppress the maximum increase in ceruloplasmin due to inflammation by turpentine oil. When WEC was administered to rats after injection of turpentine oil, a high dosage (0.36% of WEC) was requisite for the suppression on the maximum increase in ceruloplasmin.

Herpes zoster is a viral disease characterized by unilateral radicular pain and vesicular eruptions that are generally limited to the dermatome innervated by single spinal or cranial sensory ganglion. The disease causes severe pain and in particular, put elderly patients in great risks and further it develops postherpetic nenralgia. Nowadays western medicine use antiviral durg(ex: acyclovir), analgesics, nerve block and etc for treatment of herpes zoster and pain control, but the effect is not much satisfactory. A 73-year-old patient, admitted to our hospital because of severe migrain. Two days later, her illness was diagnosed as herpes zoster so we administrated Yongdamsagan-tang. After the six-day of treatment, all symptoms improved, especially headache was cleared since the four day long administration of Yongdamsagan-tang.

The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of balance training with 'TETRAX' system, a balance training and assessment tool, on balance and mobility in acute hemiplegic patients. Nineteen matched subjects were assigned randomly into either an experimental group or a control group. An experimental group with 10 subjects received balance training with 'TETRAX' exercise program and conventional physical therapy interventions 5 times per week during 4 weeks. A control group with 9 subjects received conventional physical therapy interventions 5 times per week during 4 weeks. Outcome measures were taken before and after 4 weeks of interventions using the Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement (STREAM), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), gait speed, and the fall down index. Results indicated that both exercise groups improved significantly in STREAM, BBS, and gait speed (p<.05). The experimental group had a little improvement than the control group. Both exercise groups did not show statistical significance in fall down index (p<.05). Following 4 weeks of intervention, except gait speed there was no statistically significant difference between two groups. However, these findings suggest that conventional physical therapy interventions with visual feedback training could be effective on improving balance and mobility than conventional physical therapy alone in acute hemiplegic patients.

In addition to antiseptic／antibiotic regimens, current therapies such as topical and systemic corticosteroids, anti-histamine agents, immune suppressing agent are generally used in the western medicine to treat atopic dermatitis(AD). However, there is almost a complete lack of effective strategies to achieve long-term control of disease, oriental medical treatments are proposed an alternative measure. It has been proved by experimental and clinical study that Oriental medical atopic dermatitis(AD) treatments such as herb-medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, and steam therapy are effective in long-term treatment. Nevertheless, oriental medical therapy has some limitations to treat acute stage of the disease. Recently developed No-Hoe(蘆？: Aloe vera L.) extract dressings will be a supplementary methods to the oriental medical therapy. The dressing can subside pruritus, exudation, erythema and scaling in the acute stage of atopic dermatitis(AD). We applied the No-Hoe(蘆？: Aloe vera L.) extract dressings to eight atopic dermatitis patients and got some good effects. This reports will provide an alternative choice for the oriental and westernal medical therapy for long-term AD treatment.
