Epidural block is used for surgical analgesia, postoperative pain management, obstetric relief and management of chronic pain. Long-term pain control for chronic pain is achieved by development of epidural catheter placement technic. But long term placement of epidural catheteter has several problems, epidural hematoma, epidural absess and neural damage. We had successfully managed long-term placement of epidural catheter in patient with diabetic neuropathy who was susceptable to infection. The duration of epidural catheter placement was 416 days and specific complication was not occurred.

Sixteen mature sheep were fed chaffed orchardgrass hay once a day for 7 days. In 7th day, four sheep were slaughtered either prior to eating, 2, 8 or 16 hours after the commencement of eating to measure digesta pool size and particle size distribution in the reticulo-rumen. One sheep slaughtered at 8 hours after feeding had absesses at the cardia and in the lungs and could not ruminate normally. Time spent eating and rumination in the sheep on the day before slaughtering were 85 and 29 (pseudo-rumination 227) minutes a day, compared to those were 112 and 277 minutes in the other animals, respectively. Total actual chewing time in the sheep with absesses and the other animals were 98 and $373{\pm}132$ minutes, respectively. Dry matter(DM) intake in the sheep was $2.9g/kgBW^{0.75}$ which was only about 17% of that in the other animals. The pool sizes of reticulo-rumen DM and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) were somewhat smaller in the sheep than the others. The pool sizes of large particle (>1.18mm) DM and NDF in the animal were similar with those in the other animals. Mean DM retention time in the sheep was 207.4 hours which was about 4.2 times longer than that in the other animals.

We have experienced 61 cases of Clinically diagnosed tuberculous peripleural abscess which was surgically treated at St. Mary's Hospital of Catholic Medical College from Mar. 1963 to Feb. 1974. Out of them, 52 cases of pathologically confirmed tuberculous peripleural abscess were reviewed and its pathogenesis, treatment and so called "rib caries" were discussed. In the past, they have been described as a variety of the names, such as rib caries, cold abscess of the chest wall, pericostal abscess, lymphadenitis tuberculosa of the chest wall, chronic draining sinuses of the chest wall and other descriptive terms. Although it has been said that the tuberculous abscess on the chest wall developed as a secondary disease from so called "rib caries" but now it has been clear that this abscess occurred not from tuberculosis of the rib but from tuberculous lesion developed between end-othoracic fascia and parietal pleura usually following pulmonary tuberculosis and/or tuberculous pleurisy and the involvement of rib or ribs are secondary one from peripleural abscess, as we confirmed. Therefore we advocate that the nomination, rib caries, should not be used unless there is a primary tuberculous lesion on ribs. The results were as follows: 1. The highest age group of tuberculous peripleural abscess was ranged from the first to third decade (78%) 2. The location of tuberculous peripleural abscess on the chest wall were as follows, 31 cases on the anterior, 19 cases on lateral and 2 cases on the posterior. 3. On x-ray examination, abnormal findings including parenchymal tuberculous lesion and pleural changes were seen is 38 cases. 4. There was no destructive change of periosteum and rib in 23 cases of tuberculous peripleural abseess during operation. However the periosteal denudation and/or rib destruction were found in 29 cases. 5. The all cases of tuberculous peri pleural abscess developed from between endothoraclc fascia and parietal pleura, as we confirmed. With antituberculous therapy, operation should be radical by wide incision on the lesion including thorough curettage with proper drainage of Iiquified caseating materials and appropriate rib resection, if necessary.tion, if necessary.

In this thesis, I intend to study the translational and clinical interpretation through the theory of Ja-Yeol, and reached the following conclusions. 1. Liver-Heat-Disease due to absess of the function of expelling and lifting off, that Liver-Yang cannot lift up to upper-warmer, and stagnate liver. I think the symptoms of yellowish urine, abdominal pain, somnolence, fever belong to the syndrome of 'Gi-Bun(氣分)', and the symptoms of ravings with surprising, distending pain of hypochondrium, restless involuntary movement of the limbs, unable to lie flat belong to the syndrome of 'Hyeol-Bun(血分)'. 2. Heart-Heat-Disease due that 'Eum-Gi(陰氣)' in heart cannot lay down and reach to stagnate at heart, inner part. I think the symptoms of unjoy, acute cardiac pain, fidgetiness, well-nausea, headeche, reddish face, anhidrosis, etc. reveal with Heart-Heat-Disease. 3. Spleen-Beat-Disease due that 'Eum-Gi' in spleen cannot lay down and Yin of spleen changs heat. I think the symptoms of heaviness of head, cheek pain, fidgetiness, cyanosis, well-nausea, fever, not to let flex and reflex with back pain, diarrhea with abdominal pain, left and right cheek pain reveal with Spleen-Heat-Disease. I think symptoms of fever, diarrhea with abdominal pain belong to the syndrome of Yin-exhausion. 4. Lung-Heat-Disease due to that 'Eum-Gi' in lung cannot lay down. When 'Wi-Gi(衛氣)' stagnates at external part, I think, the symptoms of intolerance to wind and cold, yellowish fur, fever reveal. When Wi-Gi stagnates at lung, inner part, I think, the symptoms of dispnea with cough, pain on chest and back, unable to breath deeply, hydrosis and chilling reveal. 5. Kidney-Heat-Disease, in that the symptoms of back pain, leg aching, extreme thirst and frequently drink, fever, pain and stiffness of nape, cooling and aching leg, heat on plantar pedis, not trying to speak reveal is regarded external heat disease of 'Tai-Yang-Gyeong's(太陽經)' disease that asthenic fever open 'Tai-Yang-Gyeong' and lift by not enough of 'Yang-Gi(陽氣)' lifeing up from Kidney space, the water space of five elements.
