상악의 악성 종양에 대한 치료로서 상악골 절제술이 시행되며 필연적으로 이것은 환자 구개부에 결손부를 생성한다. 이로 인해 안모의 변형, 연하, 저작, 발음 등 다양한 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 상악골 절제술 후 이런 문제들을 극복하기 위해 외과적 재건 또는 보철적 치료가 치료 방법으로 선택될 수 있으나 대부분의 상악골 절제술 환자에서 구강악안면 재건의 방법으로 구개폐쇄장치가 더 선호된다. 본 증례는 Aramany 분류 II급에 해당하는 상악골 부분 절제술을 시행한 환자에게 구개폐쇄장치의 유지와 안정을 얻고 모든 기존의 금관수복물을 유지할 수 있는 swing-lock attachment를 사용하여 수복한 임상과정 및 결과에 관하여 보고하고자 한다.

Scoliosis is a 3-dimensional change of the spine, presenting 10° above Cobb angle. Various acupuncture methods are being increasingly performed to correct scoliosis. However, no systematic review has been published. Therefore, we report on the effectiveness of acupuncture on mild scoliosis in this systematic review. We searched various databases for acupuncture treatment for scoliosis published before June 2021. The primary outcome was Cobb angle, and the secondary outcomes were patient-centered scores. Six studies were identified. RCTs that compared combination therapy with acupuncture, and other treatment methods and showed significant improvement in the Cobb angle, and effective rate, but, with low quality evidence. Acupuncture monotherapy resulted in significant improvement in the Cobb angle and had high heterogeneity compared with other treatment methods, but no significant improvement in the effective rate was observed, and the quality of evidence was low. Regardless of the type of scoliosis, acupuncture monotherapy or combination therapy with acupuncture showed significant improvement in the Cobb angle, and the quality of evidence was moderate. No serious adverse events were observed in the 6 studies reviewed. Acupuncture is considered safe, and it is more effective when performed with other conventional treatments.

Background: This study aimed to determine the impact of complex decongestive therapy applications on upper extremity function in breast cancer patients who developed adhesive capsulitis after lymphedema. Methods: Thirty patients who developed adhesive capsulitis due to lymphedema were divided into two groups as study (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. Both groups received 20 minutes of exercise five days a week for three weeks using a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer, as well as a hot pack and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) treatment to the shoulder joint. The study group received 45 minutes of intensive decongestive therapy along with the adhesive capsulitis treatment. The visual analogue scale was used to assess pain, circumference, and volumetric measurements were used to assess edema, and the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Problems Questionnaire (DASH: Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) was used to assess upper extremity functionality. The shoulder range of motion was evaluated. Results: Both groups had improvements in pain (P < 0.001), shoulder joint range of motion (P < 0.001), and upper extremity functionality (P < 0.001) after the treatment. There was a significant decrease in circumference and volumetric measurements in the study group (P < 0.001). However, no differences were seen in measurements in the control group. Conclusions: The results showed that complex decongestive therapy was beneficial in reducing lymphedema in breast cancer patients who acquired adhesive capsulitis due to lymphedema. Consequently, the authors believe that supplementing conventional physiotherapy with complex decongestive therapy will benefit patients.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to present basic data for appropriate therapeutic intervention by confirming changes in the autonomic nervous system and pain by applying high-frequency deep diathermy to the lower abdomen in patients with primary dysmenorrhea. Design: A randomized controlled clinical trial. Methods: Thirty-eight women aged 18-50 years who complained of regular menstrual cycles (24-32 days) and primary dysmenorrhea symptoms were randomly assigned to a high-frequency therapy group (5, 7, or 9 mins) and a superficial heat therapy group (20 min). High frequency treatment group: The subject was in a supine position, and radio frequency was applied to the lower abdomen below the umbilicus. The radio frequency therapy device used in this study uses a 300 kHz capacitive electrode and a 500 kHz resistive electric transfer to deliver deep heat. Superficial heat treatment Group: Subjects applied a hot pack to the lower abdomen for 20 minutes while lying on their back. Evaluations were made of Heart rate variability and Visual Analogue Scale. Results: In subjects with menstrual pain, there was a significant difference in pain between the high-frequency therapy group and the superficial heat therapy group (p=0.026). However, there was no significant difference between the autonomic nervous system and the stress resistance (p>0.05). Conclusions: As a result of this study, high-frequencytreatment using radiofrequency was effective in relieving pain because it can penetrate deeper tissues than conventional hot packs using superficial heat. In particular, it was found that the optimum effect was obtained when high frequency was applied forfive-seven minutes.

넓은 영역의 무치악 부위를 수복하기 위한 전통적인 방법은 의치를 이용한 치료다. 하지만, 임플란트를 활용할 경우 보철물의 안정과 유지, 그리고 지지의 측면에서 더 유리하며, 저작효율이 향상되는 등 기능적으로 더 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이 같은 임플란트를 이용한 치료방법은 크게 가철성과 고정성 방식으로 분류될 수 있으며, 치조골의 흡수정도, 악간관계, 환자의 선호도, 사회 경제적 요인 등을 고려하여 적절한 접근 방식을 선택하여야 한다. 한편, 지르코니아의 물성이 크게 개선됨에 따라, 임플란트 지지형 고정성 보철물의 재료로서 단일구조 지르코니아가 각광을 받고 있다. 단일구조 지르코니아는 지르코니아 코어에 세라믹을 비니어링 한 보철물이나 금속 도재관보다 파절과 chipping의 빈도가 적으며 지르코니아 자체가 충분한 두께를 가질 수 있어 구조적으로 좋은 물성을 지닐 수 있다. 최근에는 투명도가 증진된 단일구조 지르코니아도 출시되어, 전치부 보철물을 위한 재료로도 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 증례의 남환은 상악 양측 구치부의 결손 및 다수 잔존치의 중등도 이상의 전반적 만성 치주염 이환으로 인해, 하악 양측 견치 및 좌측 제1, 2 소구치를 제외한 모든 치아를 발치한 후, 상악 8개 및 하악 3개의 임플란트 식립을 동반한 전악 수복 치료를 받았다. 보철물 장착 후 1년 간의 경과 관찰 기간 동안 기능적, 심미적으로 만족할만한 결과를 얻어 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Objectives: Frozen shoulder (FS) is one of the most challenging shoulder disorders for patients and clinicians. Its symptoms mainly include any combination of stiffness, nocturnal pain, and limitation of active and passive glenohumeral joint movement. Conventional treatment options for FS are physical therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, injection therapy, and arthroscopic capsular release, but adverse and limited effects continue to present problems. As a result, pharmacoacupuncture (PA) is getting attention as an alternative therapy for patients with FS. PA is a new form of acupuncture treatment in traditional Korean medicine (TKM) that is mainly used for musculoskeletal diseases. It has similarity and specificity compared to corticosteroid injection and hydrodilatation, making it a potential alternative injection therapy for FS. However, no systematic reviews investigating the utilization of PA for FS have been published. Therefore, this review aims to standardize the clinical use of PA for FS and validate its therapeutic effect. Methods: The protocol was registered in Prospero (CRD42023445708) on 18 July 2023. Until Aug. 31, 2023, seven electronic databases will be searched for randomized controlled trials of PA for FS. Authors will be contacted, and manual searches will also be performed. Two reviewers will independently screen and collect data from retrieved articles according to predefined criteria. The primary outcome will be pain intensity, and secondary outcomes will be effective rate, Constant-Murley Score, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, range of motion, quality of life, and adverse events. Bias and quality of the included trials will be assessed using the Cochrane handbook's risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. Meta analyses will be conducted using Review Manager V.5.3 software. GRADE will be used to evaluate the level of evidence for each outcome. Results: This systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted following PRISMA statement. The results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. Conclusion: This review will provide scientific evidence to support health insurance policy as well as the standardization of PA in clinical practice.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is affective a large portion of the world population prompting the need for extensive healthcare resources such as lifelong dialysis or kidney transplantation. The beneficial effect of conventional therapy in controlling the CKD progression remains a challenge due to their relative efficacy, safety, and accessibility. On the other hand, Unani medicine provides a therapeutic regimen that consists of a combination of treatment from rehabilitation to herbal pharmacotherapy. Methods: Two cases of chronic kidney disease were treated with dietotherapy, regimenal therapy ('bukhoor aam') and oral herbal drugs for 2-3 weeks. Endpoints of evaluation were symptoms and signs of the CKD, kidney function test, urine albumin, urine RBC, hemoglobin and liver function test. Result: Notable improvement was observed in the endpoints. Conclusion: Unani treatment was observed preliminarily beneficial in the treatment of chronic kidney disease. Rigorous pharmacological and clinical studies should be performed to warrant their efficacy and safety in CKD individuals.

보철 수복용 임플란트는 소실된 구강조직을 회복하는데 매우 예측 가능한 치료방법으로 특히 교정치료를 위한 고정원으로 사용되었을 때 원하지 않는 고정원의 위치변화 없이 원하는 치아의 움직임만을 얻을 수 있는 효과적인 치료 방법 중 하나이다. 특히 수복해야 할 무치악 부위가 존재하는 경우 장래 보철적 지대치로 이용될 임플란트를 교정치료 전에 미리 식립하여 교정적 고정원으로 사용한다면 고정용 나사 식립을 위한 추가적인 비용이 없고, 교정력에 의한 고정용 나사의 탈락과 같은 부작용 없이 효과적인 고정원으로써 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 교정력은 골유착된 임플란트에 골소실을 야기하지 않으며 임플란트의 종류와 수술 방법, 치유 기간은 일반적인 치료과정 을 따르면 된다. 다만 한번 골유착된 임플란트는 위치를 변화시킬 수 없으므로 치료를 시작하기 전에 임플란트 식립 시기 및 식립 위치에 대한 정확한 진단이 반드시 선행되어야 할 것이다.
