Objective : This study was a open clinical trial aimed at exploring the effectiveness of combined treatment with estrogen and antipsychotics to the chronic female schizophrenics. Method : 40 female patients who met DSM-VI criteria for schizophrenia who were chronically ill were randomly assigned to estrogen group(EG) and control group(CG). EG patients were received estrogen 1.25mg for 8weeks in addition to their routine antipsychotic regimens. CG patients were received their routine antipsychotic regimens only. Both groups were evaluated by PANSS(Postive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) at 0, 4, 8 week during the trial period and compaired with each other. Results : 40 female patients have completed the study during 8weeks. EG was significantly improved in PANSS and CGI scores than CG during the 8weeks. In EG patients, all symptom subtypes(positive symptoms, negative symptoms, general psychopathology symptoms) of PANSS were significantly improved and positive symptoms were most significantly improved at 8week. Conclusions : This results support the clinical value of combined estrogen therapy among chronic female schizophrenics.

Objectives : This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of MPH-OROS and parental satisfaction for treatment of children with ADHD Method : The 569 participants were clinically diagnosed for ADHD using DSM-IV criteria. We switched current medication to MPH-OROS or introduced MPH-OROS for treatment of ADHD. We assessed the clinical global impression severity of illness (CGI-S), the clinical global impression severity of improvement(CGI-I). And the parents of participants measured the Korean version of Conners rating scale at baseline, the 1 st week and the 3rd week after MPH-OROS trial. At the 3rd week, the parents measured the parent satisfaction questionnaire. Results : $13\%$ of participants dropped out because of several causes including side effects. The change of CGI-S was significantly decreased. Using CGI-I, the improvement was $72.3\%$ at the 1st week and $87.4\%$ at the 3rd week. The total score of the Korean version of Conners parent rating scale was significantly decreased. The participants complaining one or more of side effects were 119$(20.7\%)$, and the most common side effect was anorexia. The $94\%$ of parents replied that they were overall satisfied with MPH-OROS trial. Also the advantages of MPH-OROS of parental report were the long duration of the drug, the improvement of schoolwork and attitude, the improvement of home behavior and homework and the improvement of overactivity. Conclusion : MPH-OROS is effective and well-tolerated in actual clinical use for ADHD.

As a web technology is generalized, the IT environment has been changed into an e-business system. An e business system requires web interface technology that can be integrated in a database and be applied to a server-side programming. Traditionally, a CGI technology has been used a web interface. But the CGI technology has many difficulties in connection and delay in processing. So, it is necessary to introduce a new methods as ISAPI Extension and JDBC. These methods provide advantages as reduce of memory and fast process. This paper proposes a comparing study on the JDBC-ODBC Bridge and the ISAPI Extension method. It will suggest more efficient technology with these methods for a web interface development.

Objectives : Biofeedback is a useful non-pharmacological treatment for panic disorder (PD), but no studies have identified physiological markers related to the treatment response. This study investigated predictors of the treatment response for biofeedback in patients with PD. Methods : A retrospective study based on the electronic medical records of 372 adult patients with PD was performed. Patients received biofeedback treatment at least once, and physiological markers including heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin conductance, skin temperature, and electromyography were collected before the treatment began. The patients were classified as responders or non-responders based on the change in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) score. Results : The response rate to biofeedback treatment was 30.4%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that a higher CGI-S score at baseline and fewer benzodiazepine prescriptions were associated with a better response to biofeedback treatment. According to subgroup analyses, the baseline CGI-S score, dose of benzodiazepines, and skin conductance are candidate predictors of the response to biofeedback treatment in men, while only baseline disease severity was associated with the treatment response in women. Conclusions : The present results suggest that skin conductance may be target marker and predictor for biofeedback in male patients with PD.

Study about existence of illusion which human beings feel from imitated image based reality have been continuing by copy theory and conventionalism for a long time. Traditional copy theory which had controlled representation theory from plato have explained illusion by similarity of image and representation objects. According to copy theory, image is natural sign unlike language but the late in the 20th century, conventionalism from N, Goodman insists they are not any special similarity between image and representation objects. They insist image and conventional sign just as language. These opposit theory rearranged conventionalism by the entrance on the cognitive science. The copy theory couldn't explain the problem of representational gap between reality and duplication, but photo media makes new paradigm about theory of the illusion. The problem of representational gap was disappeared by CGI images on the base of digital media. We are exposed exquisite duplication for a example, movie, advertisement, printings. Sometimes duplications are more real than the original works. Digital is a non-material object by 0 and 1. Specially real lighting skill and mechanism are copied perfectly by photon mapping skills and the duplications are produced more real than the original works. By disappearance of representational gap, we need new theory model for explaining of digital illusion and copy theory can be the key.
