통증감소를 위주로 하는 기존의 슬 골관절염 치료는 슬관절의 퇴행을 가속화시킬 수 있기 때문에 한의학적 각종 침구요법 및 물리요법, 약물요법이나 의학적 주사요법 등을 '슬관절에 대한 부하 힘을 감소시킨 상태'에서 시행하는 진료형식을 제안한다. 그리고 이러한 슬관절질환 치료의 추나요법을 채택하여 임상적용이 가능하도록 이를 기계화 도구화하고, 진단과 치료를 동시에 시행할 수 있는 방식이 되도록 연구할 필요가 있다.

Pneumothorax after needle electromyography is a rare complication, which usually associated with examination of diaphragmatic and intercostal muscles. However, by the literatures, it can also occur with supraspinatus, serratus anterior and paraspinal muscles. We experienced a case of pneumothorax after cervical paraspinal muscle needle electromyography. From the anatomical vulnerability of pneumothorax during needle insertion, we emphasized the importance of avoiding this complication.

Paddy fields provide important habitats for biodiversity conservation within the agricultural ecosystem. Their importance is gradually increasing as their ecological value is better understood. Benthic macroinvertebrates dominate paddy fields. They play an essential role in maintaining the biodiversity of paddy ecosystems. This study aimed to analyze characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrate communities and main environmental factors affecting the distribution of golden apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata). Results showed that the diversity index (H') of the benthic macroinvertebrate community was the highest at the Sangju site (St. 12) but the lowest at the Sancheong site (St. 18). Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), salinity, and Electrical Conductivity (EC) values were the highest in Gimhae and Yeongam based on Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). Numbers of P. canaliculata (m-2) were relatively low in Gunsan and Iksan where water temperatures were high. Therefore, changes in geographical characteristics and environmental factors might affect the distribution of P. canaliculata and characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Results of this study can be used as primary data for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service evaluation in agroecosystems.

Diagnostic radiology and conservative management for S75 patient with L1 lumbar fracture by traffic accidents were discussed with references, and then the obtained results were as follows ; 1. Wedging compression fractures with 10% deformity was confirmed at anterior vertebral body of L1 lumbar spine through lateral plain X-ray film. 2. Irregular bony fractures were observed at anterior vertebral body of L1 lumbar spine by CT scans, anatomically T12-L1 sites showed highly frequency of injuries, Denis's fracture type was classified as multiple compression fracture at anterior column without abnormal middle and posterior column, also no Cobb's angle, and then Frankel's neurological classification was E grade. 3. Orthopaedic treatments were performed with conservative methods. With rest on the bed, anti-in-flammatory medication, electrolyte and nutritional solution, the pain diminished. 4. After 3 weeks, rehabilitation was worked with putting on polyethylene back corset, although pains remained slightly until after 8 weeks, thereafter the spine showed gradually stability.

도심지역의 대단위 주거 단지 조성에 따른 다양한 하천 생태계에 대한 문제가 야기되어 하천 생태계에 대한 환경영향평가가 때때로 시도되고 있다. 토지이용의 변화에 따라 유역의 물순환 경향이 달라지고 이로 인하여 하천 수생태계에 영향이 달라지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 토지이용 변화와 물순환 변수인 유량인자와 하천 수생태환경의 상관관계를 조사해 보고자 하였다. 대상 유역으로는 한강 하류지역인 서울특별시 주변의 30개 소유역을 대상으로 하였으며, 일유량 자료와 BMI 지수, 유역의 불투수율등을 사용하였다. 또한 환경부에서 제공하고 있는 2012-2014년 자료중 한강 유역에서 조사된 저서성대형무척추동물지수 관측소와 유랑 관측소와 일치하는 33개 지점을 선정하여 유량지표와 생태환경 지수와의 관계를 조사 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 수생태환경을 나타낼 수 있는 지수인 저서성대형무척추동물지수 (Benthic Macroinvertebrates Index, BMI)를 조사하여 자료를 구축하고, 토지이용변화와 유량변화에 따른 BMI 지수의 영향을 조사하고, 토지이용 변수와 수문학적 변수와의 상관관계를 조사하고자 하였다. 유역의 불투수율과 마찬가지로 일평균 유량, 0.5년 초과빈도, 0.1년 초과빈도, 0.01년 초과빈도 유량과 BMI 지수와의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 이러한 상관관계 도출을 통하여 유역의 개발에 따른 하천 수생태에 영향을 수문변수 중의 하나인 유량지표로 유추 할 수 있으며 수생태에 대한 영향을 저감할 수 있는 저감 방안으로 유량자료를 사용할 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.

The river ecosystems are influenced by numerous human activities such as agriculture and industrial operations, and benthic macroinvertebrates are utilized as important biological indicators. In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of land use surrounding rivers on river ecosystems in two industrial areas and two agricultural areas in Pyeongtaek city. We measured water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and pH for physicochemical water quality assessment, and conducted water environment evaluation using benthic macroinvertebrates, cluster analysis, BMI, and ESB. Through water environment assessment, the environmental condition of rivers in agricultural areas was found to be more favorable compared to those in industrial areas. Consequently, it was observed that the impact on river ecosystems varied depending on the differences in anthropogenic activities.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to show the effectiveness of Chuna Manual Therapy applied to a osteoporosis patient with gait disturbance due to lower limb fracture surgery. Method : We focused on Chuna therapy accompanied with acupuncture, herbal medicine, moxibustion, cupping treatment and rehabilitation exercise. This case was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Pain Free Walking Distance (PFWD), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Modified Barthel Index (MBI). Result : This patient showed improvement on the VAS from 6 to 3, PFWD from 0 m to 2000 m using a walker and 50 m by self-walking, BBS from 2 to 28, and MBI from 56 to 89. Moreover the walking state improved from gait disturbance to self-walking. Conclusion : This study suggests that Chuna therapy could be used to improve gait disturbance in patients with osteoporosis and lower limb fracture surgery.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to research the necessity of sacral base X-ray that Barge insisted. Methods : I have done a comparative analysis in side of short leg and side of sacral inferior with sacral base X-ray and pelvis A-P Xray pictures of 42 patients with lower back pain from December 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. Results : Even though most of the subjects in study were male, 36 people had plateau of sacral base and 29 people had symmetry in sacral base X-ray. There was no statistical significance in the side of short leg and side of sacral base inferior in Sacral base X-ray, but there was a statistical significance in pelvis A-P x-ray. 22 people had same side of short leg and side of sacral base inferior in sacral base X-ray and pelvis A-P X-ray and 14 people didn't. 29 people had same side of sacral base inferior in sacral base X-ray and pelvis A-P X-ray and 13 people didn't. Conclusions : According to the result of the study, sacral base X-ray is necessary for correct sacral base inferior analysis.

Objects : This study was to report a clinical effect of Chuna Treatment for a patient diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) as Cervical Myelopathy. Methods: In order to alleviate shoulder pain and neck stiffness, the patient was treated by acupuncture therapy, herbal medicine, phamacopucture, cervical traction technique of Chuna treatment and conservative managements. To evaluate the effect of the treatment, Recovery rate of Hirabayashi, VAS(Visual Anlaogue Scale), NDI and ROM(Range of Motion) were used. Lhermitte's sign, Valsalva test, Distraction test, Compression test and Spurling test were carried out. Results: VAS, NDI and ROM were improved and Recovery rate was 100%. Conclusions: Korean Treatment can be effectively used for a patient with Cervical Myelopathy. Further clinical studies are needed to verify the findings.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of chuna treatment on lumbar sprain caused by traffic accident. Methods: This study carried out on 20 patients who have received hospital treatment in Semyung University Oriental Hospital. 20 patients were divided 2 groups. Non-chuna group got acupuncture-therapy, herbal medication, physical therapy and chuna group got chuna treatment besides. And then compared the VAS measurements of each group. Results: 1. Both group were significantly improved in VAS after 7 days of treatment. 2. Chuna group compared with Non-chuna group was significantly improved in VAS after 7 days of treatment. Conclusions: We found out that chuna treatment is considered to be effective and useful on lumbar sprain caused by traffic accident.
