Between January 1986 and December 1995, 24 patients were treated surgically for thymoma. There were 17 males and 7 females, and their ages ranged from 23 to 69 years old and mean age was 49 years. Thymomas ere associated with fourteen myasthenia gravid, and classified histologically as Iymphocytic in 12 patients, mixed in 8, epithelial in 4, and classified clinically as stage I in 11, stage II in 4, stage III in 8 and stage VI in 1 patient. Eleven patients with non-invasive thymoma had received surgical resection, and 10 out of 13 patients with invasive thymoma were able to undergo complete resection. A partial resection or tissue biopsy followed by radiation or chemotherapy was done with the remaining three patients. Three died, four had improvement of symptom, two had relapse and fifteen had no symptom during follow up ranged from 25 days to 60 months. In fourteen cases of thymoma with myasthenia gravid, one died due to myasthenic crisis, two showed symptom aggravation, six had less medical treatment and five patients had medical treatment as same as dosage received preoperatively.

The number of allergic contact dermatitis patients is steadily increasing but a proper reliability treatment guide is not prepared in Oriental Medicine. Also, the number of clinical cases on allergic contact dermatitis is not sufficient in Oriental medicine. As such, the facial flushing of allergic contact dermatitis which has been improved by infra-red therapy is significant in its treatment purpose. We reported on 43-year old male patient with allergic contact dermatitis. We treated him with herbal concoction, acupuncture, infra-red therapy and cupping therapy. We have received a good result in this case by using the combination of infra-red therapy. We reached a conclusion that using infra-red therapy can improve the facial flushing of patient with allergic contact dermatitis. However, further research on the effect of infra-red therapy for these symptoms is desired.

Older drivers have an increased risk of accidents due to poor function, but they also develop self-regulation ability to check their own changes. Thus, information on whether the actual elderly driver responds to changes in driving ability and risk may provide a meaningful basis for the clinic and research of the elderly's driving ability assessment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the evaluation of elderly drivers by analyzing the driving risk self-perception characteristics in terms of driving behavior and function with Korean elderly drivers. A self-reporting assessment was conducted on 500 elderly drivers living in the community and the characteristics of driving risk perception were analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that many elderly drivers are aware of the driving risk when their vision and hearing are impaired or when they find it difficult to adapt to changes in driving conditions. On the other hand, the characteristics of insensitive reactions to changes in medical health conditions, such as drug use or epilepsy, seizures, and loss of consciousness, were identified. The researcher hopes this study will contribute to the safety management of elderly drivers in Korea, where aging is accelerating.

A migraine was a headache disorder characterized by recurrent moderate to severe headaches. The diagnosis was based on clinical signs and symptoms. Medication, physical therapy, nerve block, and nerve stimulation could be applied for treatment. This report described a case of severe migraine without aura that lasted several weeks periodically in a 59-year-old woman. Periodic headache had lasted for more than 14 years, and although she took medicines and nerve blocks, severe pain (VAS 7) was persisted. We recommended her to use the thermo-spinal massage device (CGM MB-1401, CERAGEM Inc., Cheonan, South Korea) continuously three times a week applying in semi-automatic mode around the neck for 40 minutes. There was no change in the pain scale in the automatic mode for the first 4 weeks. Subsequently, the semi-automatic mode of the cervical area was treated for 2 weeks to relieve the pain scale, and it was confirmed that the relieved state maintained for 2 months. This case highlighted the importance in considering thermo-spinal massage devices for managing migraine without aura.

The autism is a complex disorder, characterized language impairment, perceptual-motor difficulties, and social disturbance. The autistic children have hyperactivity, lack of communication' lack of cooperation, inappropriate patient/dentist interaction, so they require professionally recognized behavioral management technique during dental treatment such as behavior modification, phamacological agents, and general anesthesia. A behavior management technique can be chosen by factors such as the severity of autism and possible accompanying disabilities, degree of cooperation, oral and general conditions of children. A non-pharmacological behavior modification may be selected for the autistic children who are able to communicate with dentist with mild dental caries, without compromised medical history. In case of excessively hyperactive, destructive, antisocial, and/or severe communicative disorder, a sedation technic with chloral hydrate, hydroxyzine, midazolam or nitrous oxide gas might to be performed. General anesthesia is preferred for severe communicative and/or behavioral disorder, elder age, excessive dental care need, and living a remote area.

Gingival fibromatosis is a non-inflammatory oral disease, characterized by slowly progress enlargement of the free and attached gingiva. Gingival fibromatosis may have familial tendency. Gingival enlargement usually begins with the eruption of the permanent dentition but can also develop with the eruption of the primary dentition. In this case, a 6-year-old female had gingival enlargement at birth. There was no familial, medical and pharmacologic history of gingival overgrowth. Treatment is gingivectomy with a rigorous program of oral hygiene. Recurrence of gingival fibromatosis may well be inevitable. Therefore there is no general aggrement as to the timing of surgical intervention. Generally the best time is when all the permanent teeth have erupted. However early intervention can improve oral function and esthetic and psychologic effect.

The separation and determination method of racemic isomers of flurbiprofen in urine samples have been investigated using column switching- HPLC, which include the sample treatment and concentration column. The optical rotation of two isomers separated were measured to identify d-form and l-form. The calibration curves are liear in the ranges of $0.11-5.4{\mu}g/mL$ for both d-form and l-form. The detection limits were $0.031{\mu}g/mL$ for l-isomes and $0.027{\mu}g/mL$ for d-isomer. The coefficients of variation of intra-day and inter-day precision of this method were about 1.8%. The present method was apllied to determine the concentration of racemic isomers in urine sample from human eating the drug.

This study was attempted to identify factors related to the health habit practice in stroke patients of some area. Data was surveyed using interview and questionnaires by 142 stroke patients who visited a general hospital which was located in Seoul from May 3 to June 3, 2010. The results were as follows ; First, there was significantly negative correlation between health information and unpredictability(r=-0.264, p<0.01), and positive correlation between uncertainty and stress(r=0.582, p<0.01). Secondly, as a result of multiple regression analysis,, health habit practice of stroke patients was significantly influenced by age($R^2$=0.62, p=0.000), unpredictability($R^2$=0.096, p=0.006), health information($R^2$=0.055, p=0.005), sex($R^2$=0.068, p=0.003), the usage of stroke therapy($R^2$=0.041, p=0.017). In conclusion, strategies for enhancing health information and reducing uncertainty are needed to promote health habit practice in patients with stroke.
