Objectives : The objective of this study is to evaluate the treatment effect of Oriental therapy including exercise therapy in chronic ankylosing spondylitis with total hip replacement. Methods : Oriental therapy and exercise therapy were performed for 64days admission in a patient who had chronic ankylosing spondylitis with total hip replacement and physical tests were examined. Result : Pain and ROM of cervical. lumbar spine, and left hip joint has improved with this treatment. And Anorexia, dyspepsia, and fatigue were also decreased. Conclusions: In this case, oriental therapy was proved to be effective in improving chronic symptoms and general prostration of Ankylosing Spondylitis. And It is necessary to carry out exercise therapy regulary.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is relatively rare ouuring as one of important autoimmune disease to affect neuromuscular junction. This study was clinically to evaluate total body irradiation (TBI) against two patients including 33-year and 39-year females for chronic MG with thymoma who hospitalized in the St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic University since 1994 as well as who showed no response by thymectomy, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy. TBI designed by the dose of 150$\~$180 cGy consisting of 10 cGy per fraction, three times a week, for 5~e weeks using linear accelerator of 6 MV. During the treatment of TBI, they did complain acute side effect such as vomiting and also appear improved physical condition from 4$\~$6 weeks after TBI. Through the follow-up period of 18 or 42 months after TBI, they did not have any symptomatic recurrence. Consequently, the results suggest that TBI can be used as an alternative tool for the patients concurrently for MG with thymoma who had been refractory to various conventional therapies like thymectomy, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy.

Purpose : Long term hospitalized infants in neonatal intensive care units(NICUs) are prone to systemic infection. It is important to differentiate systemic candidiasis from systemic bacterial infection early in the course. Thus, in this study, we have compared clinical characteristics of systemic candidiasis and systemic bacterial infection, in premature low birth weight infants. Methods : Retrospective chart review of the medical records of 20 patients with systemic candidiasis and 23 patients with systemic bacterial infection was performed. Results : Among the risk factors of systemic candidiasis, total parenteral nutrition(TPN), the use of broad spectrum antibiotics, central catheter insertion, endotracheal intubation and the use of H2 blockers were more frequent in neonates with systemic candidiasis than neonates with systemic bacterial infection. Apnea with bradycardia developed more frequently in neonates with systemic candidiasis compared with systemic bacterial infection(75% vs 39%). In laboratory findings at symptom onset, seven cases(35%) of systemic candidal infections and two cases(9%) of systemic bacterial infections showed leukopenia and thrombocytopenia(P=0.03). Blood was the most frequent isolation site of candida and bacteria. Conclusion : In neonates with systemic candidiasis, apnea with bradycardia, pneumonia and thrombocytopenia were prone to develop more frequently. The use of TPN, antibiotics and central catheters was strongly associated with systemic candidiasis. Empirical treatment with antifungal agent should be considered in critically ill neonates with above findings.

Purpose : This post-marketing surveillance (PMS) study was conducted in Korea to assess the safety and reactogenicity of hepatitis A vaccine (GlaxoSmithKlineBiologicals'$Havrix^{TM}$) administered to the Korean population. Methods : A total of 1,188 healthy subjects with 1,122 subjects <6 years of age were enrolled to receive one dose of the hepatitis A vaccine from April 2005 to January 2006. Diary cards were provided to the subjects or subjects' parents for reporting solicited and unsolicited symptoms during the 4-day and 31-day post-vaccination follow-up period. Results : The number of subjects who returned diary cards was 568, whereas, 620 subjects did not return diary cards. Among the subjects who returned diary cards, 9.9% and 14.3% reported local and general solicited/unsolicited symptoms. Among the subjects who did not return diary cards, 1.6% and 8.4% reported local and general solicited/unsolicited symptoms. At least one unsolicited symptom was reported by 13.2% of the subjects. Conclusion : Results indicate that the vaccine was well-tolerated and had an acceptable safety profile. The use of diary cards in such a survey provided a prompt and reliable option for recording symptoms.

The existing studies of VDT syndrome have been researched only about for nurse groups without radiological technologists. The target of this study was workers who perform VDT task in general hospital placed in Daejun City such as insurance judgement, patient affairs, medical record management, medical computing service, hospital administration, and radiological sections. This study was conducted at October 15, 2009 to November 2, 2009 using structured questionnaire. Results of group A (age 20-29, less than 5 years experience at clinical site, normal staff, and unmarried group) showed significant skin and psychological conditions among recognition symptoms of VDT syndrome. Group B (age 30-39, 6-10 years experience at clinical site, managing staff, and married group) tends to be similar at orbital, whole body and muscles' frame response among recognition symptoms of VDT syndrome. Results of "Multiple Linear Regression" with dependent variable that is scores of recognition symptoms of VDT syndrome are as follows. The factors which influences for orbital-related problem is gender, health cares and obstacles during daily life. The factors which influences for whole body-related is exercise, stress and recognition for health condition and the factors which influences muscles' frame-related is 6-10 years experience at clinical site, human relationship, health cares and obstacles during daily life. These are proved to be similar by statistic analysis. There is small difference at recognition symptom of VDT syndrome between the radiological technologist and other groups in general hospital. Yet, as the working circumstance of radiological technologist gradually changes to VDT environment, the recognition symptom of VDT syndrome became conscious. This can be prevented by regular job rotation, which will escape the continuous repetition of working pattern.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influential factors associated with video display terminal (VDT) syndrome of male adolescents with digital device addition. The study design was cross-sectional descriptive survey. The study participants were 169 male middle school students in Seoul. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection and data were analyzed using the SPSS program. The factors most influential for the subjective symptoms of VDT were smartphone addiction, computer use time during the week, computer use environment. These factors accounted for 28.1% of the variance in subjective symptoms of VDT. In order to prevent the occurrence of VDT syndrome in students, we suggest to establish a preventive intervention against the digital addiction.

파킨슨병은 손 떨림과 함께 행동이 느려지고 몸이 굳어지며, 보행이 느려지고 보폭이 짧아지며 자세가 불안해지는 것을 특징으로 하는 퇴행성 뇌질환이다. 파킨슨병의 가장 초기 증상은 비특이적으로 전신 위약감이나 피로감, 권태감 등이 있을 수 있는데 이럴 때는 병으로 인식하지 못하는 경우가 많고, 또 진단을 내리기도 어렵다. 좀 더 특징적인 증상들로는 휴식 상태에서의 손떨림이 가장 흔하며, 대화 시 발음 혹은 억양의 변화, 누웠을 때 혹은 보행 중 방향 바꾸기가 어렵다거나 걸을 때 팔의 흔들림이 줄어드는 증상들이 있을 수 있다. 이 외에도 걸음을 시작할 때 어려움을 느끼거나 의자에 앉거나 일어서기가 어렵고 글씨체가 작아진다든가 우울증, 침 흘리는 증상 등이 초기 증상으로 나타날 수 있다. 파킨슨병의 증상은 크게 일차적 증상과 이차적 증상으로 나눌 수 있는데 일차적 증상은 경직, 떨림, 몸의 움직임이 느리거나 줄어들고, 몸의 균형을 잡기 어렵거나 보행 장애 등의 증상들로서 흑색질의 신경세포 파괴로 생기는 직접적인 현상이다. 이차적 증상은 일차적 증상으로부터 파생되어 생기거나 흑색질 외의 다른 신경계의 침범에 의하여 생기는 증상들을 지칭한다.
