The auther has made the oral examination of 523 pregnant women-such as calculus, gingival disease, periodontal disease, and dental caries-who visit the dental department and obstetric department in National Medical Center in Seoul. After the above studies, results of the changes of the pregnant women's oral condition are following. 1. In creasing of calculus deposition due to the changes of saliva components. 2. Increasing of incidence of gingival and periodontal and pathological changes followed by calculus deposition. 3. Incidence of new cavities are not related to the pregnancy, but old cavities have become more progressive in dental caries.

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a premalignant condition characterized by juxtaepithelial fibrosis of the oral cavity. The clinical manifestations include burning sensation to spicy food, blanched oral mucosa with palpable fibrous bands, trismus, depapillation of tongue, and dry mouth. As OSF is predominantly seen in people of the Indian subcontinent, cases of this disease have been rarely reported in South Korea. We present a case of OSF in a Sri Lankan man living in South Korea and emphasize the importance of enhancing knowledge of this disease while the number of immigrants is increasing.

인간은, 어떤 조직에 질환이 발생하게 되면, 질병이 발생한 부위는 주위 조직보다 전기 저항이 높아지게 된다. 왜냐하면, 인간은 본래부터 가지고 있는 고유의 전류가 상처 부위에서는 전기저항이 높기 때문에 전류가 잘 통과하지 못하는 특징이 있기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는, 퍼지 규칙을 이용해서 환자의 신체 상태에 적합한 전자 침술의 정확한 시간산출을 모의실험 하였다. 뿐만 아니라, 본 논문에서는 퍼지논리와 퍼지 추론 규칙을 이용하여 환자신체조건 적합한 최적의 자침시간 산출하였다.

Purpose : This study was investigated, in order to improve that reliability of disease mechanism diagnosis, which were used for the object diagnosis of Oriental medicine in the dept. of Oriental OB&GY, Oriental Medical hospital of Dong-Eui University, amend to a disease mechanism item of Questionnaires and indexes of disease mechanism, we were thought that the results were more pointed to the condition of appropriate disease mechanism, as a result of put a results of Questionnaires and belongs to indexes of disease mechanism together, we　suggested to call it a　'weight of disease mechanism', because It was possible to　mark a different degrees of indexes of disease mechanism in the same points.　Methods : We analyzed the results of Questionnaires about 3354 outpatients who　had OB&GY disease in the Oriental Medical hospital of Dong-Eui University from April 2000 to March 2004. Results : 1. weight of disease mechanism is 10 score according to disease mechanism score and the standard of reliability. 2. The standard of reliability is same 11 disease mechanism item except stagnated blood, cold syndrome, dry- ness, phlegm. Conclusion : Weight of disease mechanism which show satisfaction the conditions of standard of reliability, appear the results of Questionnaires, against previous study investigated reliability of Questionnaires make it through the standard of reliability.

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare condition characterized by nodular lesions predominantly in the head and neck region, often causing discomfort or pain. Treatment remains challenging because of its rarity and the lack of established guidelines. This report presents a case of ALHE affecting the earlobes that was successfully managed using ear lobule reduction surgery and subsequent intralesional steroid injections. A 31-year-old woman with a history of recurrent earlobe masses underwent a partial excision to avoid the loss of the earlobe. Histopathological examination confirmed Kimura disease, a variant of ALHE. Subsequent local methylprednisolone injections effectively controlled the remaining lesions, resulting in significant size reduction without notching. Various treatment modalities have been attempted for this condition; however, recurrence rates remain high. Surgical resection combined with intralesional corticosteroid injections is the preferred approach. In this case, a sub-antitragal groove technique for earlobe reduction was employed to preserve the lateral edge of the ear lobule, minimize the risk of deformity, and achieve a predictable outcome. The sub-antitragal groove technique offers an approach to reduce earlobe size without compromising aesthetics. Further research is required to elucidate the pathogenesis of ALHE and establish standardized treatment protocols for this rare condition.

A retrospective analysis of 175 patients who were suffering from trigeminal neuralgia was done. We found 21 cases (12.0%) of abnormal findings including brain tumors and cerebrovascular disease on brain MRI. All patients were transferred to department of neurosurgery for operation. Among them, 7 patients refused or gave up operation and received nerve blocks with pure alcohol. Their MRI findings were meningioma, arachnoid cyst, arteriovenous malformation, venous angioma, and frontal sinus cancer This study demonstrates that peripheral nerve block or trigeminal nerve block with pure alcohol would be possible in case of elderly patients, patients who have poor general condition, patients who refuse operation, and brain tumor or cerebrovascular disease which located in dangerous area to be operated.

We present a rare case of a patient with aortoiliac occlusive disease on the background of type A crossed renal ectopia, for whom open surgical intervention was required. Aortic exposure in patients with concomitant crossed renal ectopia can present technical challenges to the vascular surgeon. The knowledge of variations in the ectopic renal blood supply is of paramount importance when performing surgery to treat this condition and affects the choice of surgical exposure. We present and discuss the operative details of our patient and outline an approach to this subset of patients.

The fundamental goal of dental treatment is rehabilitation of oral health thus various dental treatment are done. Most of the dental procedures are not life threatening but patients who are medically compromised are exceptional. Fortunately systemic disease can be easily diagnosed by medical insurance(medicare) or annual medical check examination in Korea. Diseases which were fatal at the past are successfully treated nowadays and consequently the population of the elder increases. As the population of elder increases, patients who need medical care as well as dental patient with compromised medical condition increases. It is essential to find out if the patient has any systemic disease. Consultant to the appropriated physician of medically compromised patients? is demanded and also for a successful dental treatment, deep knowledge of the systemic disease is necessary.

Introduction: 585 nm Pulsed dye laser (PDL) laryngeal surgery is based on the photodynamic characteristics of selective photothermolysis and photoangiolysis and recently considered to be the treatment for a variety of benign laryngeal disease. Objective: To review the indications and outcome of office-based 585nm PDL surgery and summarize new developments. Method: Retrospective study involving 402 patients was performed, The PDL surgery could be applied to various laryngeal diseases such as laryngeal papilloma, vocal fold dysplasia, laryngeal granuloma, vocal polyp, capillarectasia, scarred vocal fold and sulcus vocalis. Results : The physiologic properties of the vascular specificity of PDL provide many advantages and appear to be effective for laryngeal treatment. The PDL resulted in precise, selective coagulation of the microvasculature without damage to the surrounding tissue. Therefore PDL surgery is safe and effective for office-based treatment of benign laryngeal disease and for all patients regardless of their overall medical condition. Conclusion: PDL surgery provides potential benefits and advantage for treating common benign laryngeal disease.

A tooth with primary endodontic disease that demonstrates a periodontal defect might be extracted because of misdiagnosis as severe periodontal disease or a vertical root fracture. The aim of this case report was to demonstrate the long-term survival of endodontically treated teeth, which had been initially considered unsavable. With meticulous evaluation including the patient's dental history, clinical and radiographic examinations, teeth with primary endodontic lesions could be differentiated and saved after proper root canal treatment. Pain history, vitality test, and radiographic examinations, as well as a general periodontal condition check with periodontal probing on an affected tooth, might be the key methods to differentiate endodontic pathosis from that of periodontal disease.
