Background: Although acute renal failure (ARF) after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is relatively rare, but devastating complication with high mortality. Our study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of early application of CRRT in patients with ARF which developed after on-pump CABG. Material and Method: Two hundred and eighty seven patients underwent isolated on-pump CABG between May 2002 and Feb. 2006 at our institution, of whom 15 (5.2%) needed CRRT (11 patients for postoperatively developed ARF and the remaining 4 patients with preexisting dialysis-dependent chronic renal failure (CRF) for postoperative hemodynamic and metabolic control). Criteria for early application of CRRT were as follows; decreased urine output less than 0.5cc/h/kg for 2 consecutive hours and elevated serum creatinine level greater than 2.0 mg/dL. Result: The incidence of ARF requiring CRRT after on-pump CABG was 3.9% (11/283) and the overall hospital mortality of patient with CRRT was 33.3% (5/15). Of 5 deaths, 4 were patients with postoperatively developed ARF, and 1 was a patient with pre-existing dialysis-dependent CRF patient. The mean time between the operation and the initiation of CRRT was $25.8{\pm}5.8$ hours and the mean duration of CRRT was $62.1{\pm}41.2$ hours. Of the 7 survivors who were not on dialysis-dependent preoperatively, 6 patients fully recovered renal function during hospital stay and 1 patient required permanent renal supportive treatment after discharge from hospital. Conclusion: Early application of CRRT could maintain stable postoperative hemodynamic status and make outcomes better than those of previous reports in patients with ARF which developed after on-pump CABG.

Pompe disease is a rare lysosomal glycogen storage disorder caused by a total or partial deficiency of the acid ${\alpha}$-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme due to the GAA gene mutations. The classic infantile form of Pompe disease is a rapidly progressive multi-organ disease with hypotonia, generalized muscle weakness, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, usually leading to death in the first 2 years of life. Enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant human GAA has been shown to be effective and subsequently yielded promising results. Here, we present clinical and genetic characteristics of three Korean non-classic infantile Pompe patients, and the short term efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy. Considering that enzyme replacement therapy can change the natural course of infantile Pompe disease, early diagnosis and early initiation of treatment is critical to improving patient outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to help female office workers in relieving their stress in rapidly changing modern society and maintaining a healthy and beautiful life by analyzing the complex effects of alternative beauty therapy on stress relaxation targeting 50 female office workers in their 30s to 40s, usually showing a high stress index due to their work. Aroma therapy and dry relax massage were carried out for 15 minutes as a beauty therapy, and stress index of the subjects was confirmed through survey before performing the beauty therapy. The experiment was conducted once a week for four weeks, and the cortisol concentration in saliva was analyzed for the outcome measurement. As a result, average stress index was 3.97 which showed a high value, and the cortisol concentration of the subjects after the experiment decreased significantly (p<0.05), and especially subjects who were married and had caregiving responsibility showed more changes in their cortisol concentration. The above result shows that dry relax massage using aroma is highly effective for mind and body relaxation of women in their 30s to 40s who are significantly stressed. If such beauty measures are applied properly, it is judged to be helpful for managing the stress.

It is true that medical fields have been grown a lot in all its aspects and they have given much efforts to suppress intractable disease including atopic dermatitis. However, instead of decreasing those diseases, it is not controllably increased in recent years. Especially atopic dermatitis is now an issue in medical and social community because of its serious direct or indirect damages. So that, this study gives few suggestions for utilizing manipulative therapies in CAM to minimize direct or indirect atopic damages and to provide diverse medical service methods which have yet not been used in aptopic dermatitis patients and their family.

Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) has been proven for treatment of postmenopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and urologic symptoms. HRT became very popular in the 1990's, when there were several reports showing that it also helped with other menopausal complications such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Recent studies report that the incidence of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, cerebral infarction, coronary artery diseases, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thrombembolism could rise after HRT. Among these side effects of HRT, the risk of pulmonary thromboembolism increases 2 to 4 fold after HRT, but can vary with the use of different doses and preparations. Here, we summarize the risk factors and clinical courses for 5 patients who developed pulmonary thromboembolism after postmenopausal HRT.

현재 사용되고 있는 갱년기 증상 치료에는 호르몬요법등과 같은 방법이 사용 되고 있으나, 일부의 부작용으로 인하여 선진국에서는 다른 방법을 모색하는 단계에 이르렀다. 이에 본 연구자는 대체 의학적인 방법으로 고대로 부터 자연요법 으로 사용 되어진 향기요법을 사용하여 갱년기 증상에 미치는 효과를 연구 하였다. 실험 군 23명과 대조 군 22명 에게 향기요법 적용여부에 따른 차이를 조사한 결과 관절, 골격 통증에 대하여는 유의한 효과를 발견하지 못하였으나 신경, 정신 증상에 있어서는 괄목 할만 한 차이를 발견할 수 있었다.

최근 과일로 끼니를 대체하거나 식후 입가심으로 소량의 과일을 섭취하며 건강을 지키려는 사람들이 많아졌다. 그렇다면 평소 엄격한 식이요법으로 혈당을 관리해야 하는 당뇨 환자도 과일을 많이 섭취해도 괜찮을까?
