Objectives : The existence of specialized medical texts on a certain disease is reflective of its prevalence of the time. Smallpox and measles were major pediatric diseases, of which previous studies examined the outbreak of measles in late Joseon and the relationship among various specialized texts, and how records of the two diseases in the general medical literature has changed chronologically. Research on the two diseases recorded in different texts written by the same author has not been conducted before. Methods : Examination of the organization of the smallpox and measles parts in the Yosandangsinjipuibangkeumnangjibo and Bojeoksinbang, followed by comparative analysis was undertaken. Results : While the two texts show great similarity in the general contents of smallpox and measles, there was difference in the way they were written. In the case of the Yosandangsinjipuibangkeumnangjibo the author lists referenced literature, while in the Bojeoksinbang he does not. Also, compared to the Yosandangsinjipuibangkeumnangjibo, the Bojeoksinbang has detailed titles for the contents in both introduction and the detailed parts, while in the Bojeoksinbang there are contents that could not be found in the Yosandangsinjipuibangkeumnangjibo, along with more pattern differentiation in the former. Conclusions : The Yosandangsinjipuibangkeumnangjibo which was published in May of 1806 is a general type of medical text, in which the part on pediatrics is positioned in the first two volumes out of the entire 12 volumes, indicative of the author's emphasis on pediatric disease. The Bojeoksinbang which was published in December of 1806 discusses in-depth theories on smallpox and measles out of all pediatric disease, from which we can glimpse a specialized field of pediatrics in the late Joseon period.

Objective : The autosomal dominent cerebellar ataxia(ADCA) is an unusal familial herediatary disorder that has been called olivopontoerebellar atrophy. Recently ADCA referred to as spinocerebellar ataxia(SCA) by molecular genetic characteristics. The purpose of this study is to focus on the improvement of clinical symptoms in SCA patient by oriental medical treatment. Materials & Methods : We experienced a case of the 6-year-old female patient with SCA and the MRI showed atrophy of cerebellum. The patient's chief symptoms come within the purview of five kinds of retardation and five kinds of flaccidity. We treated her with herb medicine (Yukmijihwang-tang gamibang), acupuncture, scalp acupuncture. After we measured the progress of general condition by MBI(Modified Bathel Index). Results : After oriental medical treatment, chief symptoms (ataxia, weakness of low extremities, dysarthria, etc.) and general condition were improved. Conclusion : We suggest that oriental medical therapy is effective to the possibility of treatment on SCA, but more clinical study and observation should be needed.
