  • Objective: This case report is to report the effect of Korean traditional treatment for idiopathic ninth, tenth, and twelfth cranial nerve palsy with ipsilateral headache. Methods: The medical history and imaging and laboratory test of a 39-year-old man with cranial palsy were tested to identify the cause of disease. A 0.2-mL dosage of Hwangyeonhaedoktang pharmacopuncture was administered at CV23 and CV17, respectively. Acupuncture was applied at P06, Li05, TE05, and G37 on the right side of the body. Zhuapiandutongbang (左偏頭痛方) was administered at 30 minutes to 1 hour after mealtime three times a day. The symptoms were investigated using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Results: The results of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and laboratory tests were normal. The medical history showed no trauma, other illnesses, family history of diseases, medications, smoking, drinking and so on. All symptoms disappeared at the 10th day of treatment. Conclusion: Korean traditional treatment such as acupuncture, pharmcopuncture, and herbal medicine for the treatment of ninth, tenth, and twelfth cranial nerve palsy of unknown origin is suggested to be effective even though this conclusion is based on a single.

  • Background: Prostate cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer among males in Pakistan but very little is known about risk factors among the Pakistani population. Therefore a hospital-based, case-control study was carried out in Faisalabad to identify potential risk factors. Materials and Methods: This study was based on 140 prostate cancer cases and 280 normal controls. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for odds ratios to assess the relationship between prostate cancer and different risk factors. Results: Family history of prostate cancer, age, smoking, obesity, consumption of red meat and frequent use of fat items significantly increased the prostate cancer risk (odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of: 7.32; 1.79-29.8; 16.9, 5.60-50.8; 2.47, 1.17-5.18; 5.79, 2.66-12.6; 2.71, 1.07-6.91; and 3.39, 1.47-7.83, respectively. On the other hand, more consumption of fruit, fluid intake and better lifestyle (physical activity) significantly reduced the risk of developing prostate cancer with odd ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals of: 0.27, 0.11-0.61; 0.05, 0.02-0.12; and 0.28, 0.13-0.58. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggested that age, family history of prostate cancer, smoking, obesity, fluid intake, frequent use of fat items, consumption of fruits and better lifestyle might be associated with prostate cancer among Pakistani males.

  • In this study, the characteristics of temperature history was evaluated for three hot wires with different capacity installed in slab concrete which are relatively thin. Results can be summarized as follows. First, for the case of material using 5W hot wire, all decreased to below zero at or around 24 hours. Similarly, the material using 20W hot wire decreased to 2℃ below zero at or around 80 hours but satisfied the accumulative temperature of 45° D·D at 7 days of material age. On the other hand, the case of 30W hot wire, the biggest capacity, showed the high temperature history of 5℃ in average at all areas except the corners. Thus, the target accumulative temperature was secured at or around the 3 days of material age. Considering the above, the initial damage by freezing can be prevented only if 20W or higher hot wires are used for the slabs at -10℃ of extremely low temperature environment.

  • Seo Dai-chun emphasized the importance of attack on the miasma and created a school to follow classical medical books such as "Nai Kyung"and "Sang Han Ron". Intimate connection between the theory and clinical experience was an unique feature and future generation including Chin Su-won and Wang Tai-lim were deeply influenced. His medical theology and medical case is presented in "Eui Hak Won Ryu Ron"and "Hoi Kye Eui An".

  • Maxillary sinus infection following Le Fort I osteotomy is rare in patients without a history of preexisting nasal symptoms. A case of a 19-year-old male patient who suffered from preoperative chronic non-allergic rhinitis and developed repetitive postoperative maxillary sinus infection after Le Fort I osteotomy is reported.

  • This study reports the history of abacus calculation in the East and West and the changes in the curriculum of abacus calculation in Korea. The findings from this study are that abacus calculation education program already disappeared from public education and that it depends on private education institutes or after school classrooms. According to a case study, of the 110 elementary schools located in Changwon City and Gyeongsangnam-do Province, 74 schools were educating abacus as after-school programs.

  • The path of the search has been long and complex but rich in cultural, economic, religious, and human aspects. The relations between these two ports, Malta and Trieste, full of a painful and difficult but also glorious and fair history, have had their ups and downs as a theater, not so much land as the sea, and in this case the Mediterranean. This area has led to a similar vision of the historical aspects of the various dominations, and has a significant influence on the habits, customs and life of the people of Malta and Trieste. Their particularly complex history has unfolded with ups and downs, contrasting with other difficult times more happier and constructive as it has always, however, in the history of man. The purpose of this article is to analyze and arrange manifestly the history of commercial and maritime interchanges between Malta and Trieste, not achieved in Korea until now. This material has high scientific value gathering sufficient data for this article.

  • The objective of this article is to investigate and analyze the way how the suture surgery was operated in case of external wound or incision in past Korea. The method to do this study was to search the books on the website, Knowledge of Oriental Medicine Web Service, databased and serviced by Korean Institute of Oriental Medicine. The searching key word was '縫'. The results was as follows. According to the website search, ten subjects of suture surgery could be classified: sword wound(金瘡), horse bite(馬咬), intestine incision(腸肚傷), knife or ax wound(刀斧傷), larynx incision(割喉), intestine protrusion by cow collision(牛觸腸出), self-stabbing of neck(自刎), falling from tree(童稚上木墮下), lip injury(趺損唇皮) and face wound(顔面의 外傷). Furthermore, the kinds of suturing fiber, the way how to stitch, the kinds of medical care before and after the suture surgery could also be found

  • In seismic analysis, there are two main ways - uniform load method and dynamic analysis, dynamic analysis can be divided into response spectrum analysis and time history analysis. In case of which get the complexion of the vibration with 3-axis of coordinate direction in each mode of free vibration mode happened owing to complication of the shape, 3-dimensional dynamic analysis is recommended to perform as multi-mode spectral analysis in standard specification for highway bridge. The purpose of this study is to understand the dynamic behavior by performing multi-mode seismic analysis according to responses analysis and time history anal)'sis in using record of earthquake. In accordance with the criterion of seismic design as defined in standard specification for highway bridge by using modified records of the El Centre and Coyote Lake earthquake, response spectrum was constructed by using the tripartite logarithmic plot. The 3-span continuous space truss bridge was selected as model of numerical analysis. As the result performed time history analysis and analysis of response spectrum for the model of numerical analysis, the result of time history analysis was slightly larger than that of response spectrum analysis. This coincide with the tendency of the result came from the analysis when using a jagged response spectrum analysis, This coincide with the tendency of the result came from the analysis when using a jagged response spectrum for a single excitation. In the Process of performing these two analysis. response spectrum analysis is more effective than time history analysis in saving times in analyzing data.
