Three groups have participated in this study. 1) The first group consists of 57 patients were who had been treated in the Oriental Medical Hospital at Kyung Hee Medical Center. 2) The second group consists of 37 outpatients who had been treated in the Oriental Medical Hospital at Kyung Hee Medical Center. 3) The third group consists of 76 students of the Oriental Medical School at Kyung Hee University. The following conclusions were made in comparison with EAV measurement values, SaSang Constitution Classfication and CVA. 1. The following conclusions were made in comparison with EAV measurement values and Type(SaSang Constitution Classfication). 1) The analsis of the Correlation in Normal group with EAV measurement values and Type(SaSang Constitution Classfication). 2) The analysis of the correlation in patient group with EAV measurement values showed significant differences in Right meridians(Nerval degeneration vessel, Circulation, Allergy) and in Left meridian(Liver). 3) The analysis of the correlation in Total(Normal+patient)group with EAV measurement values showed significant differences in Right meridians(Large intestine, Nerval degeneration vessel, Circulation, Allergy, Pancreas) and in Left meridians(Lymph vessel, Nerval degeneration vessel, Spleen, liver). 4) The above results showed common-significant differences in Right Allery meridian and in Left Liver meridian. 2. The analysis of the correlation in EAV measurement values and Group (Cerebrovascular accident) showed significant differences in Right meridians(Lymph vessel, Lung, Nerval degeneration vessel, Allergy, Paren & Epith. degeneration vessel, Triple warmer, Heart, Pancreas, Stomach, Fibroid degeneration vessel, Skin, Fatty degeneration vessel, Heart, Stomach, Fibroid degeneration vessel, Skin, Fatty degeneration vessel, Bile duct, Kidney). 3. The analysis of the correlation in EAV measurement values and Para(GROUPS according to PARALYSIS)showed significant differences in Left Stomatch meridian. The analysis of the correlation in EAV measurement values and Para(GROUPS according to PARALYSIS) about the differance of right measurement values and left measurement values showed significant differences in Nerval degeneration vessel, Stomatch, Gall bladder & Bile duct, Kidney and Urinary Bladder meridians. 4. The analysis of the correlation in EAV measurement values and Compl(GROUPS according to COMPLICATION with CVA)showed significant differences in Right meridians(Lymph vessel, Articular degeneration vessel, Fatty degeneration vessel) and in Left meridians(Lung, Stomatch, Fatty degeneration vessel). 5. The analysis of the correlation in Type and MORPHOROGICAL DIAGRAMING (HTOUPS according to MORPHOROGY) showed significant differences in Cranium region, Chest region, Stomatch region and Umbilicum region. 6. The analysis of the correlation in BAZ measurement values and Group(Cerebral Vascular Attack)showed significant differences, the analysis on the correlation of BAZ measurement values and Type(SaSang Constitution Classfication) didn't show any significant differences. 7. In comparison with Actual measurement vales and Voll's measurement values, BAZ measurement values agree with Voll's measurement values but CMP measurement values lower than the Voll's measurement values. Later We have to research further about classifications of race, age, sex etc. The EAV measurement values have Group(Cerebrovascular accident) more correlative than Type(SaSang Constitution Classfication). The EAV may well be that it will be used as an accessory method in SaSang Constitution Classfication and as a diagnostic method in medicine too.

This study surveyed and measured the level and structure of cancer deaths and their trends over time for offering the fundamental data of e cancer prevention and control in Pusan city in the future. Authors conducted the study of descriptive epidemiology using materials derived from the computerized data of total 3,722 certified cancer deaths in Pusan city from January 1 to December 31, 1993 registered on the National Statistical Once, the Republic of Korea. The obtained results were as follows: 1. According to the total registered cases of deaths(16,331 cases) in Pusan city during 1993, cancer(3,722 cases) and cerebrovascular disease(2,118 cases) were the first and second cause of deaths as 23.1% and 16.9%, respectively. These pattern showed the change between cancer (14.7%) and cerebrovascular disease(18.5%) in order of frequency in comparison to 1982. Also, the total number of cancer deaths was increased in comparison to 1982. The rate of death certification by physicians was 87.1% of all registered deaths, which was increased to 6.8% in comparison to 1982(80.3%). 2. Crude death rate and cancer specific death rate was 4.06 per 1,000 populations and 93.8 per 100,000 populations(male:117.8, female:70.0), respectively. The former was similar to that of 1982, but the latter was increased to 1.6 times as that of 1982. 3. Age-adjusted cancer specific death rate by standardization with whole country population was 111.9(male:141.5, female:106.7) per 100,000 populations, higher than not age-adjusted cancer specific death rate(93.8), and the sex difference was statistically significant with male predominance (p<0.05). 4. Cancer specific death rate by age was generally increased with age and most of cancer deaths(male:91.8%, female:88.5%) occurred since 40 years old. 5. The major cancer(cancer specific death rate per 100,000 populations) in male was liver(30.6) followed by stomach(25.6), lung(21.9), and GB and EHBD(5.7), in female stomach(15.7), liver(9.9), lung(7.3), and uterus(6.9). The relative frequency of the leading three cancer among total cancer deaths marked 66.3% in male and 47.l% in female, and decreased in comparison to 1982(male:72.2%, female:54.5%). 6. The total ratio of male to female cancer specific death rate showed 1.68 to 1 with male predominance. And the ratio was above 2.0 in larynx, oral cavity & pharynx, esophagus, liver, lung, bladder cancer and the ratio was $1.0\sim1.9$ in stomach, pancreas, gall bladder and EHBD, brain, rectum and anus cancer, leukemia, but the ratio was reversed in thyroid and colon cancer. In conclusion, cancer was the first cause of deaths. The proportion of lung cancer was increased, that of stomach & uterine cancer was decreased relatively, and liver cancer was constantly higher proportion. In the future, it is necessary to conduct the further investigations on the cancer risk factors considering areal specificity.

목적: 위장관 증상을 갖는 HSP 환아에서 장관초음파소견과 위내시경검사소견을 규명하여 피부자반증없이 위장관 증상만 있는 환아에서 HSP 조기진단에 장관초음파검사와 위내시경검사의 유용성을 알아보고자 본 조사를 시행하였다. 방법: 1999년 1월부터 2001년 4월까지 동강병원 소아과에 입원한 위장관 증상을 동반한 HSP 환아85명 88례를 대상으로 임상증상, 장관초음파소견과 위내시경소견을 후향적으로 조사하였고 동일한 환아에게서 장관초음파검사와 위내시경검사를 동시에 시행한 4례의 환아에서 두 검사의 연관성을 찾아보았다. 결과: 1) 피부자반증이 88례(100%) 모두에서 나타났고 관절통 및 관절증상이 64례(73%), 위장관 증상이 52례(59%), 신장침범소견이 15례(17%), 음낭침범소견이 3례(3%)에서 나타났다. 2) 위장관 증상은 복통이 52례(100%)에서 나타났고 대변잠혈양성반응이 28례(54%), 구역 및 구토가 17례(33%), 복부압통이 17례(33%), 혈변 혹은 흑색변이 12례(23%), 설사 6례(12%), 토혈 4례(8%), 복부반사통과 복부경직이 각각 1례(2%)순이었다. 3) 위장관 증상을 갖는 52례 중 27례에서 복부초음파검사를 시행하였는데 22례(81%)에서 이상소견이 나타났다. 십이지장과 공장벽의 비후소견이 16례(73%)로서 가장 많았고 복수 8례(36%), 장간막임파선종창 8례(36%), 장폐색증 4례(18%), 이상담낭소견 1례(5%)순이었다. 위장관 증상을 갖지 않는 36례의 HSP 환아 중 3례에서 실시한 복부초음파검사는 모두 정상 소견으로 나타났다. 4) 5례의 내시경 소견은 전례에서 위소견은 정상이었고 십이지장에 다발성의 미란성 출혈성 십이지장염의 소견을 보였는데 구부보다 하행십이지장에 더 심했으며 1례에서는 구부소견은 정상이었고 하행십이지장에서만 동일한 소견을 보였다. 이중 2례에서 시행한 내시경적 생검절편의 병리조직학적 소견은 급성 염증반응과 국소미란 및 출혈소견을 보였다. 5) 4례에서 내시경검사와 복부초음파검사를 같이 시행하였는데 정상소견을 보인 1례를 제외하고는 십이지장과 공장벽의 비후소견의 초음파소견을 보여 미란성 궤양성 출혈성 십이지장염의 내시경소견이 초음파검사상 십이지장벽의 비후소견으로 나타나는 것으로 생각되었다. 결론: 위장관 증상을 동반하는 HSP 환아에서 복부초음파검사는 HSP의 위장관변화를 발견하고 경과관찰을 보는 간편하고 비침습적인 유용한 검사방법이며, HSP 환아에서 내시경검사의 적절한 적응증은 아직 확립되어 있지 않으나 하행십이지장의 출혈성 미란성 십이지장염이 일관된 소견으로 생각된다. 피부자반증이 없이 급성 상복부통증을 동반하는 위장관 증상, 대변잠혈 양성반응이 있을 경우, 복부초음파검사상 십이지장과 공장벽의 비후소견이 보이거나 혹은 위내시경상 출혈성 미란성 십이지장염의 소견이 보일 경우 pathognomonic하지는 않지만 HSP의 가능성을 항상 염두에 두고 다른 질환이 배제되면 부신피질호르몬 투여를 고려해보는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.

Ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA) is a hydrophilic gall bladder acid and has been used as a effective drug for liver disease related to in1munity. This drug inhibits secretions of IL-2, IL-4, and $IFN-{\gamma}$ from T-cells and production of immunoglobulin from B-cells. Also it has been reported that UDCA inhibits production of IL-1 related to the progression of periodontal disease and activation of collagenases. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the effects of UDCA on inhibition of periodontal disease progression using clinical, microbiological and histometrical parameters. Twelve pure bred, 16 month-old-beagle dogs were used in the study. After ligature-induced periodontal diseases were formed, experimental drugs were applied twice a day and then the results of clinical, microbiological, and histometrical parameters were measured at baselie(initiation of experiment) , 4weeks and 8weeks. The gel with UDCA(concentration 0.5%, 5% 3 dogs in each) was applied to experimental group, chlorhexidine to positive control group(3dogs) and the gel without UDCA(base) to negative control group. After induction of general anesthesia, the maxillary 2nd, 3rd premolars and 1st molar and the mandibular 2nd, 3rd, 4th premolars and 1st molar were ligated in one side selected randomly and were not ligated in the opposite side. The plaque index(PI), gingival index(GI), pocket depth(PD) and gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) volum were measured clinically. The PI and GI were measured at 3 buccal points of all experimental teeth and the GCF was measured only at the 3rd premolar in the maxilla and the 4th premolar in the mandible. In the microbiological study, the samples extracted from the 3rd premolar of the maxilla and the 4th premolar of the mandible at the center of buccal surface were analyzed aerobics, anaerobics and Streptococcus colony forming units, After clinical and microbiological examination at 8weeks, the dogs were sacrificed by carotid artery perfusion. The samples were fixed and sectioned including interproximal area, and the distance from cementoenamel junction(CEJ) to alveolar crest was measured. The results were that PI, GI and PD increased until 4 weeks and decreased at 8 weeks in three groups but the differences between all the groups were not significant. The 0.5% UDCA in non-ligated group showed remarkable decrease of GCF. The experimental group applied 5% UDCA decreased the number of aerobics and anaerobics. The distance from CEJ to alveolar crest was greater in the negative control group on both ligated and non-ligated sides, but the differences were not significant stastically.

Subject : Kim hong-kyung(金洪卿)'s view of eight extra meridians Object : Kim hong-kyung has not only deeply studied Saam acupuncture but also the function and characteristics of extra meridian at the same time. Especially, he has tried the study to connect yin yang wei qiao mai(陰陽維蹻脈) with Lee je-ma(李濟馬)'s four trigram constitution theory, therefore the author felt the need to make public the theory and started reserch on the theory. Method : I researched the physiological properties of extra meridians through the past eastern medical literature, I reported on the types of people to show well the properties of extra meridians gathering Kum-oh's verbal explanation when I had classes from him. Result : Kum-oh Kim hong-kyung defined meridians as passways of consciousness and feeling, he interpreted 12 meridians and extra meridians with the view of mind, which has very important meanings in the history of acupuncture in the point of first trial to interpret meridians from this view. He explained Ren mai(任脈) and Du mai(督脈) are meridians which show clearly properties of yin-yang to appear trusts of affirmation and distrusts of denial in the mind, as Ren(任) means entrusting and Du(督) means supervising in English. He explained Chong mai(衝脈) is the meridian representing impulsive man that has a meaning of impulse as being suggested the name of Chong mai, because Chong mai is borrowed from Foot shao yin kidney meridian(足少陰腎經). Dai mai(帶脈) is the meridian representing the characteristics of woman that has a meaning of binding as being suggested from the name of Dai mai which acts when people have something on their flank or they are pregnant, because Dai mai borrowed from Foot shao yang gall bladder meridian. He thought that four trigram divided from yin and yang is innate trigram, so Yang wei mai(陽維脈), Yin wei mai(陰維脈), Yang qiao mai(陽蹻脈), Yin qiao mai(陰蹻脈) among extra meridians have connections with Tai-yang ren(太陽人), Tai-yin ren(太陰人), Shao-yin ren(少陰人), Shao-yang ren(少陽人) of Four trigram constitution theory respectively which was created by Lee je-ma. He explained yang means opponents and wei(維) means binding. Yang wei mai is the meridian to be active when opponents bind or intervene in you, also the meridian is well active to the people who easily criticize others who are rude, to the people who well refuse restraints from organization. Because he explained yin means me and wei(維) means binding. Yin wei mai is the meridian to be active when I bind and intervene in opponents. He also state that the meridian is easily active to the people who have a tendency to gather people and make party apparatus by nature. He explained Yang qiao mai is the meridian to be active in the situation that people are waiting for others to bridge gap because yang means opponents and qiao(蹻) which has a meaning of standing on one's tiptoes means bridging gap between people. He also state the meridian is easily active to Shao yin ren who has a tendency to be passive, to easily settle down and not to move by nature. He explained Yin qiao mai is the meridian to be active in the situation that I bridge gap between me and others to make friends, because yin means me and qiao(蹻) which has a meaning of standing on one's tiptoes means bridging gap between me and others. He also state the meridian is easily active to Shao yang ren who is active in every business and who has remarkable ability to make friends. Conclusion : Kim hong-kyung stated the physiological properties of extra meridians as below. Ren mai is the meridian representing positive confidence which is easily active when people have a mind to trust others, Du mai is the meridian representing negative distrust which is easily active when people have doubts. Chong mai is the meridian representing the characteristics of man that has impulsive characteristics. Dai mai is the meridian representing the characteristics of woman to be easily active when she is pregnant. Yang wei mai has close connections with Tai-yang ren who has a tendency to refuse restraints from others and to criticize on opponent's remarks and behaviors that are wrong. Yin wei mai has close connections with Tai-yin ren, as the meridian is active in the situation that people enjoy restraining and intervening in others. Yang qiao mai has close connections with Shao yin ren, as the meridian is active to the people who are negative and passive by nature. Yin qiao mai has close connections with Shao yang yin who has a strong tendency to make friends easily by nature.

배경: 폐 이식 수술 후 관리가 급속하게 발전함에도 불구하고 이식 후 소화기계 합병증은 여전히 중요한 문제점으로 남아있다. 저자들은 폐 이식 후 발생한 소화기계 합병증과 그의 치료법에 대해 후향적으로 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1996년 7월부터 2009년 3월까지 23명의 환자에서 시행한 25예의 폐 또는 심폐이식에 대한 의무 기록을 검토하였다. 소화기계 합병증은 폐 이식 후 발생한 소화기계 질환으로 정의 하였다. 30일내 사망한 8명의 환자는 연구에서 제외하였다. 결과: 추적 관찰 기간은 중앙값 6.9개월(범위: 2개월 부터 111개월)로 수술 사망을 제외한 17예 중 11예(64.7%)에서 23회의 소화기계 합병증이 발생하였다. 만성 위염이 17예 중 4예(23.5%)에서 발생하여 가장 많았고, 2주 이상의 심한 설사가 3예에서 발생하였다. 3예에서 위궤양이 있었고 이중 1명의 환자는 궤양으로 인한 위천공으로 위 봉합술을 시행 받았다. 또한, 이 환자는 복부 수술 후 2개월 만에 궤양이 재발하여 위 출혈이 발생하였다. Cytomegalovirus에 의한 위염과 식도염이 각각 2예와 1예 있으며 식도 궤양은 2예 있었다. 식도 협착은 2예가 있었는데 스텐트를 삽입하여 치료하였다. 그밖에 장폐쇄, 황달을 동반한 담석, 위막성 대장염(pseudomembranous colitis), 내시경하 점막 절제술로 치료한 조기 위암이 각각 1예씩 있었다. 결론: 폐 이식 후 발생하는 소화기계 합병증은 발병률이 비교적 높은 편이며 폐 이식 후 환자의 영양 상태를 악화시켜 이환율과 사망률을 높이는 결과를 가져올 수 있기 때문에 적극적인 검사를 통한 조기 진단과 치료가 필요하다.
