Objectives : The study was designed to evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture on patients with insomnia in China. Methods : We performed systematic review of case-control studies of electroacupuncture on patients with insomnia published from 1994 to 2009 in CNKI(中國知識基礎施設工程 http://www.cnki.net). Results : 17 studies were selected. The electroacupuncture points frequently used were Sinmun(神門), Sameumgy(三陰交), Baekhoe(百會), Sasinchong(四神聰), etc. G6805 electroacupuncture instrument were mostly used in those studies and the treating methods of electroacupuncture were various according to each study. Combination of both Electroacupuncture and other therapy reported better results than simple therapy such as simple electroacupuncture or acupuncture, western medicine, herbal medicine, auricular therapy. Conclusions : There have been many studies of electroacupuncture on patients with insomnia in China and these studies can applied to the clinical practices in Korea.

A growing number of people are concerned about their sleep. There are many people with chronic sleep disorders. As there are various causes in a disease, proper treatment according to each cause is necessary for a more effective treatment. In general, insomnia is classified into five categories of physical, physiological, psychological, psychiatric and pharmacological aspects. Sedative-hypnotics including benzodiazepine and non-benzodiazepine have widely been used in chronic insomniacs. However, most hypnotics including non-benzodiazepine cause some of dependence, tolerance, impaired daytime function and rebound insomnia. Therefore, we are looking forward to proposing an effective oriental treatment for insomnia. A 71-year-old male who had suffered from cerebral infarction was admitted to our department for oriental treatment of stroke and insomnia. Initial treatment modalities with administration of paroxetine were not effective. However administration of oriental medicine' Gochimmuwoo-san(Gaozhenwuyou-san)' achieved a desirable effect.

Studies were carried out to investigate the phenotypic characteristics of the non-molting mutant (nm-f) which was mapped on the 2nd linkage group. The results obtained were as follows : The nm-f mutant was distinguishable in the 3rd day of hatching. About 80 percentage of the non-molting mutant larvae died at the first instar within 10 days of hatching. The remaining larvae survived to the 2nd ad the 3rd instar but did not live to the final instar. There was no difference in non-molting nutant manifestation between hibernating and artificial hatching eggs. As a result of hemolymph protein analysis, the protein content on nm-f mutant was less than the normal larvae's. Therefore, we conclude that the characterization of nm-f is similar to the already known strains of non-molting mutant and the shortage of hemolymph protein is closely related to the non-molting characteristic in nm-f.

Zolpidem is a relatively new, short-acting, rapid onset, and nonbenzodiazepine hypnotics. Zolpidem selectively binds to the central benzodiazepine 1 (BZI) receptor subtype. The present study was designed to compare the hypnotic effects of zolpidem (10 mg), triazolam (0.25 mg), and placebo in 22 schizophrenic inpatients. Zolpidem, triazolam, and placebo were administered orally in a randomized, double-blind design. Compared with placebo, zolpidem and triazolam significantly decreased sleep latency (p<0.05), increased total sleep time (p<0.05), and increased improvement of satisfaction of sleep (p<0.05). Zolpidem decreased the number of awakenings significantly in comparison with placebo (p<0.05), but triazolam did not. In addition, both drugs were well tolerated and did not produce severe side effects. These results suggest that zolpidem is effective for transient insomnia of schizophrenic inpatients and zolpidem is superior to triazolam in hypnotic effect.

Hyperarousal or increased brain excitability is thought to play a key role in the pathophysiology of insomnia. Neuromodulation techniques are emergent complementary therapies for insomnia and can improve sleep by modulating cortical excitability. A growing body of literature support the idea that neuromodulation can be effective in improving sleep or treating insomnia. Recent evidence has revealed that neuromodulation methods can improve objective and subjective sleep measures in individuals with insomnia, although effects vary according to protocol. Different mechanisms of action might explain the relative efficacy of neuromodulation techniques on sleep outcomes. Further research testing different stimulation parameters, replicating existing protocols, and adding standardized sleep-related outcomes could provide further evidence on the clinical utility of neuromodulation techniques.

배 경 : 불면증은 다양한 수면장애에서 흔하게 나타날 수 있는 증상이다. 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증에서 불면증 이외의 다른 여러 증상이 나타날 수 있으나, 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증 환자가 불면증을 주된 수면 문제로 호소하는 경우도 드물지 않다. 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증은 특수한 진단적/치료적 접근을 필요로 하므로 불면증을 호소하는 환자에서 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증의 감별은 중요하다. 본 연구는 불면증을 주소로 하는 환자에서 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증의 유병율과 그 감별인자를 조사하려고 하였다. 방법：1996년 6월부터 2002년 12월까지 불면을 주소로 수면다원검사실에 의뢰된 470명의 환자(남자 235명, 여자 235명, 평균 연령 $53.6{\pm}12.4$세) 환자들의 의무기록과 수면다원검사 결과를 분석하였다. 우선 불면증 환자에서의 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증 유병율을 조사하였다. 그리고, 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 동반한 불면증 군과 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 동반하지 않은 불면증군의 인구학적/임상적 특성을 비교하였다. 마지막으로 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 동반한 불면증 군 내에서 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증의 정도인 호흡장애지수와 인구학적/임상적 특성의 상관관계를 보았다. 결 과：총 연구대상 470명 중 125명(26.6%)에서 야간 수면다원검사로 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증을 진단하였다. 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 동반한 불면증 군은 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 동반하지 않은 불면증 군에 비해 유의하게 연령이 높고($58.4{\pm}12.3\;years$ vs $51.8{\pm}11.2\;years$, p<0.01), 신체질량지수(body mass index；BMI)가 높았다($23.4{\pm}3.3\;kg/m^2$ vs $22.5{\pm}3.1\;kg/m^2$, p=0.44). 또한, 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 동반한 군에서 코골이가 더 흔하게 관찰되었으며(96.0% vs 63.5%, p<0.01) 남성의 비율이 높았으며(64.0% vs 44.9%, pp<0.01) 고혈압이 있는 경우(20.0% vs 9.3%, pp<0.01)가 많았다. 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 동반한 군내에서는 연령과 호흡장애지수가 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(p=0.01). 결 론：불면을 주소로 내원한 환자들의 상당수가 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증을 가지고 있었다. 불면을 주소로 내원한 환자들에서 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증의 감별인자로 코골이, 고령, 남성, 고혈압, 그리고 비만을 찾을 수 있었다. 위 감별인자를 가진 환자들에서 야간 수면다원검사를 포함한 폐쇄성 수면 무호흡증에 대한 진단적 접근이 필요하다.
