Objective: A case report on the improvement of athlete's foot using Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT). Methods: A Korean male in his 50s is suffering from athlete's foot for 10 years. Results: Keratinization of the soles and deformity of the toenails were alleviated after undergoing OCNT. Conclusion: Application of OCNT to patients with athlete's foot can help protect the skin barrier and improve symptoms.

Polygoni Radix. the root of Polygonum cuspidatum (Polygonaceae) has been used as treatments of dermatitis. gonorrhrea. favus athlete's foot. inflammation in traditional medicine. Oxygen free radical injury and lipid peroxidation have been suggested as major causes of atherosclerosis. cancer. liver disease. and the aging process. In order to evaluate antHipid peroxidative effect.

Fungi cause a number of plant and animal diseases. Because fungi are more chemically and genetically similar to animals than other organisms, this makes fungal diseases very difficult to treat. Human fungal infections are uncommon in normally healthy persons, being confined to conditions such as candidiasis (thrush) and dermatophyte skin infections such as athlete's foot. However, in the immunocompromised host, a variety of normally mild or nonpathogenic fungi can cause potentially fatal infections. Furthermore, the relative ease with which people can now visit 'exotic' countries provides the means for unusual fungal infections to be imported into this country. Fungal infections or mycoses are classified depending on the degree of tissue involvement and mode of entry into the host. These are Cutaneous, Subcutaneous, Systemic, and Opportunistic. As listed above, in superficial mycoses infection is localised to the skin, the hair, and the nails. An example is 'ringworm' or 'tinea', an infection of the skin by a dermatophyte. Ringworm refers to the characteristic central clearing that often occurs in dermatophyte infections of the skin. Dermatophyte members of the genera Trycophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton are responsible for the disease. Tinea can infect various sites of the body, including the scalp (tinea capitis), the beard (tinea barbae) the foot (tinea pedis: 'athlete's foot') and the groin (tinea cruris). All occur in the United Kingdom although tinea infections, other than pedis, are now rare. Candids albicans is a yeast causing candidiasis or 'thrush' in humans. As a superficial mycoses, candidiasis typically infects the mouth or vagina. C. albicans is part of the normal flora of the vagina and gastrointestinal tract and is termed a 'commensal' However, during times of ill health or impaired immunity the balance can alter and the organism multiplies to cause disease. Antibiotic treatment can also alter the normal bacterial flora allowing C. albicans to flourish. If we study mycoses of the orient medicine, we can improve the medical skills about mycoses.

Objective: A case report on the Leukopenia Patients Using Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) Methods: A Korean female in her 50s suffering from the rare side effect of leukopenia after taking athlete's foot medicine (Terbinafine HCl) Results: The results revealed that the white blood cell count, which had dropped before the OCNT, had improved to a normal level. Conclusion: The application of the OCNT can help change health-related figures in patients with relevant problems.

본 연구는 무좀균(Trichophyton mentagrophytes)에 대한 상록성 목본 추출물의 항균활성을 조사하고 측정하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 완도와 제주도에서 채집한 잎과 줄기를 용매(증류수, 80% 에탄올, 100% 메탄올)와 초음파 처리시간(15, 30, 45분)을 달리하여 추출하여 실험에 사용하였다. 실험은 한천확산법을 사용하여, 박테리아 배지에 식물 추출물이 함유된 종이디스크를 배양한 뒤클리어존(생육억제환)을 측정하였다. 대조군은 합성항균제인 methylparaben과 phenoxyethanol 0.4, 1, 2, 4 mg/disc에 농도로 사용하였다. 연구에 사용된 64종 중 56종의 추출물에서 클리어존이 보여, 무좀균에 대한 항균작용을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 중 담팔수는 에탄올에 45분간 추출한 처리구에서 20.2 mm, 육박나무는 80% 에탄올로 30분간 추출한 처리구에서 23.5 mm의 클리어존을 나타냈다. 또한 붉가시나무, 황칠나무 및 서향의 잎 추출물은 각각 28.0 mm (80% 에탄올 45분 추출), 20.5 mm (100% 메탄올 45분 추출) 및 19.7 mm (100% 메탄올 45분 추출)의 클리어존이 조사되었다. 따라서, 이러한 결과는 상록성 목본 추출물의 무좀균에 대한 치료 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 항균물질이 많이 함유한 식물소재를 얻기 위해서는 식물의 적정 추출조건을 고려해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The root of Polygonum cuspidatum (Polygonaceae) has been used as treatments of hyperlipidemia, dermatitis, gonorrhea, favus athlete's foot, inflammation in traditional medicine. In order to examine anti-lipidperoxidation activity, hexane, EtOAc, BuOH and water fractions of its methanol extract were administered to carbon tetrachloride intoxicated rats. Ethylacetate fraction exhibited antilipidperoxidative effect on liver lipid homogenate and the radical scavenging effect on DPPH. Serum transaminase, AlP, triglyceride and total cholesterol contents significantly decreased by administrations of ethylacetate fraction.

The rhizome of Polygonum sachalinense Fr. Schm. (=Reynoutria sachalinensis Nakai, Polygonaceae) has been used as "Polygoni Rhizoma" (Hu Zhang) in the Orient as laxatives, diuretics and for treatment of suppurative dermatitis, gonorrhoea, favus and athlete's foot. From the methanolic extract of the dried rhizome physcion, emodin, emodin-8-O-$\beta$-D-glucoside as anthraquinone derivatives and .betha.-sitosterol glucoside were isolated and identified. Stilbene derivatives which have antibacterial and antifungal activities were also isolated.

Polygonum cuspidatum which is widely distributed in Korea has been used as treatments of dermatitis, gonorrhea, favus athlete's foot, hyperlipidemia and inflammation in traditional medicine. We examined anti-oxidant and antiinflammatory activity by measuring DPPH radical scavenging activity and the inhibition of IFN-${\gamma}$ and LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells. We isolated and characterized resveratrol (1), trans-resveratrol 3-O-${\beta}$-Dglucopyranoside (2). Compounds 1 and 2 showed potent activities compared with L-NMMA ($N^G$-monomethyl-L-arginine). These results suggested that the stilbene compounds isolated from Polygonum cuspidatum might be used as antiinflammatory agents.

Calcaneal apophysitis is a relatively common disease in young athletes. On the other hand, if not treated properly, it can lead to apophyseal avulsion fracture in rare cases. In the case of apophyseal avulsion fractures, it is often necessary to remove or preserve the bone fragment, which often requires a suture of the Achilles tendon. A 10-year-old badminton athlete visited the outpatients' clinic with pain in both heels from 10 months ago without any trauma history. After conservative therapy, the pain in the left heel was relived but the right heel pain persisted. After 10 months of conservative therapy, the patient visited the outpatients' clinic showing a calcaneal apophyseal avulsion fracture with a total rupture of the Achilles tendon. In the operation room, a bone fragment needed to be removed because of its poor viability and the fragment was too thin for fixation. After removing the bone fragment, the ruptured Achilles tendon was fixed with an anchor system.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the projectile factors and biomechanical characteristics of men's hammer throwing during turning phases. Four national leveled athletes including Korea national record holder participated in this study. After full warm-up, each participant performed 6 trials of hammer throwing with their best. The best recorded trial was selected from each participant and they were analyzed for this study. Three-Dimensional motion analysis using a system of 5 video cameras at a sampling frequency 60Hz was performed for this study. As the number of turns increased, athletes revealed following characteristics. 1) The single and double support time decreased. 2) The rotation foot was closed to axis foot and it revealed greater medio-lateral displacement than that of horizontal one. 3) At the transition point from double support to single support, ball was in front of rotation foot so that not much angular velocity obtained. For the projectile factors, projectile angle did not show differences while projectile height and velocity revealed differences among the participants. It may indicated that each athlete has different fitness and skill level to resist centrifugal force which become larger as the number of turn increased.
