Objectives : The purpose of this study was to report a case of a patient efficacy of electromagnetic acupuncture using Whata 153 in facial nerve palsy in Herpes zoster oticus. Methods : We treated the patient with magnetic acupuncture combined with electro-acupuncture. Acupuncture points were at the face (BL2, GB14, TE23, ST4, ST6, ST3). All the acupuncture points were stimulated with magnetic field and 4 of them were combined with electro-acupuncture. Results & Conclusions : The improvement of facial movement and symptom was evaluated by Yanagihara grading system(Y-system), House-Brackmann scale(HB scale) and Sunnybrook facial grading system(SFGS). After treatment, all of the scales(Y-system, HB scale and SFGS) and symptom of the patient were improved. From the above results, we suggest that magnetic acupuncture and electro-acupuncture might be effective on facial nerve palsy in Herpes zoster oticus.

A mutant herpes simplex virus 1, mtHSV, was constructed by inserting the E. coli beta-galactosidase gene into the loci of icp34.5, the apoptosis-inhibiting gene of HSV. The mtHSV replicated in and lysed U251 (human glioma cells), EJ (human bladder cells), and S-180 (mice sarcoma cells), but not Wish (human amnion cells) cells. With its intact tk (thymidine kinase) gene, mtHSV exhibited susceptibility to acyclovir (ACV), which provided an approach to control viral replication. An in vivo test with mtHSV was conducted in immune-competent mice bearing sarcoma S-180 tumors, which were treated with a single intratumoral injection of mtHSV or PBS. Tumor dimensions then were measured at serial time points, and the tumor volumes were calculated. Sarcoma growth was significantly inhibited with prolonged time and reduced tumor volume. There was microscopic evidence of necrosis of tumors in treated mice, whereas no damage was found in other organs. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that virus replication was exclusively confined to the treated tumor cells. HSV-1 DNA was detected in tumors, but not in the other organs by a polymerase chain reaction analysis. From these experiments, we concluded that mtHSV should be a safe and promising oncolytic agent for cancer treatment.

Zosteriform lesions, occurring after left flank and intravaginal inoculations of Balb/c mice with the Herpes simplex virus type 1 strain McKrae, developed in clinically normal skin via nerve endings. The developments of zosteriforms were standardized in 5 phases with the following references; formation of small vesicles (phase 1); occurrence of erosion and ulceration of local lesions (phase 2); occurrence of ulcerations (phase 3); occurrence of severe ulcerations (phase 4); and death (phase 5). These results provide two valuable zosteriform models to further investigate and analyze the pathological symptoms in susceptible animals infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2 and DNA vaccines.

BamHI restriction pattern and genomic library of Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) strain G were constructed, and locations of the glycoproteins gB and gD, and tk genes on the fragments were detected by Southern blot analysis. HSV-2 genomic DNAs were cleaved into twenty-seven fragments by BamHI enzyme in the range of 0.72 to 15.08 (total 150.44 kb), which were cloned into the BamHI site of pBluescript SK(+) to construct genome library of the HSV-2. The library was named by the order of the fragment size from smallest one to largest one. HSV-2 glycoprotein gD gene was located in pHLA2-21 and pHLA2-22 recombinant plasmids, gB gene in pHLA2-24 plasmid, and tk gene in pHLA2-11 clone by Southern blot analysis.

A 34 year old male patient visited to our neuro-pain clinic with symtoms of a left frontal headache, eyeball throbbing and occipital pain. Two days after the first visit to our clinic. pain was aggrevated and the skin eruption appeared on the left forehead. He was diagnosed as raving Herpes Zoster Opthalmicus(HZO). We performed stellate ganglion block(SGB), but pain did not subsid. So a continuous cervical epidural block was perfomed(CCEB) and it could relieve the pain promptly. In this case, VAS(visual analogue scale) was diminished from 10 to 3 and the skin eruption was healed 24 days after the treatment with CCEB and SGB. We experienced that CCEB is more effective rather than intermittent SGB in intractable HZO. CCEB should be considered to the treatment of choice in patients with HZO.

This report is a case of 62-year-old man with anterior chest pain and pin pricking pain with allodynia affecting left T5 sensory dermatome for 3 months without history of vesicular skin eruption. He had a history of diabetes mellitus for 10 years and insulin therapy for recent 1 year. EKG, chest PA and rib series were normal. Serologic evaluation of IgG antibody to varicella-zoster virus was positive and was diagnosed as post herpetic neuralgia after zoster sine herpete. He was treated with left T5 nerve root block followed by thoracic epidural blockade and intercostal nerve block for 2 weeks. His VAS score decreased from 10 to 2 after 2 weeks of treatment. After 3 months, he revisited our clinic complaining right side chest pain followed by vesicular skin eruption 8 days after the onset of pain. He was treated as herpes zoster and tolerates well after 4 months.

In the course of our search for anti-Herpes simplex virus type I (HSV 1) substances from natural sources, we screened crude drugs for their antiviral activity using SRB assay. T he methanol extract from herb of Brassica rapa (Cruciferae) was found to inhibit HSV-1. Though bioassay-directed fractionation of the extract, anti-HSV-1 agent was isolated by chromatographic separation using Amberlite XAD-4 and Sephadex LH-20. The structure of compound I was elucidated by spectral means including $^1H-^1H$ COSY, HMQC and HMBC to be isorhamnetin 3-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (compound I). Compound I was active against HSV-1 with the 50% effective concentration of O.42mg/ml and the 50% cytotoxicity of 5.0mg/ml.

Background: Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a disease that cause faical palsy, ear pain, ear vesicle, tinnitus, hardness of hearing by geniculate ganglion herpes. Ramsay Hunt syndrome could be taken two sides view of herpes zoster and facial palsy. In traditional oriental medicine Ramsay Hunt syndrome could be diagnosed as heat and dryness syndromes. Object: These studies are clinical observations about two Ramsay Hunt syndrome patient cases that is recovered under the treatment by herbal-acupuncture therapy and moxibustion. Methods: For treatment in acute state, acupuncture therapy was used and in convalescent stage, herbal acupuncture therapy and moxibustion therapy were used. For diagnosis system, House-Brackmann system, Yanagihara's system used as diagnosis scales. Result&Conclusion: The results as follows. 1. Generally, to treat Ramsay Hunt syndrome, it is knwon that from invasion of virus to period of first effect a short term bring about good result, but in these two cases, though a long term. considerable effect was braught out. 2. In treating two cases, herbal acupuncture therapys what are called CF, JSD were used. satisfactory results was produced.

대상포진(Herpes Zoster:HZ)은 수두 대상포진 바이러스(Varicella Zoster virus)에 의해 야기된 속발성 또는 잠복성 감염이다. 증령에 따라 바이러스 특이적 면역 및 세포 매개 면역력이 감소하면서 바이러스가 재활성화되기 때문에, 대상포진은 주로 노년층에서 호발한다. 대상포진에 이환되면, 극심한 급성 통증이 발생하게 되고 수개월에 걸쳐서 회복하게 된다. 포진후신경통(Postherpetic neuralgia:PNH)은 대상포진의 대표적인 합병증의 하나로, 대상포진에 이환된 후 발생한 통증이 3개월 이상 회복되지 않을 때, 포진후신경통으로 진단할 수 있다. 임상적 증상으로는 주기적으로 찌르는 듯한 통증이 동반되는 타는 듯한 통증, 이질통이 발생할 수 있으며, 감각저하 또는 지각이상을 보일 수 있다. $Neurometer^{(R)}$(neuroselective sensory nerve conduction threshold: sNCT, Automated current perception threshold: CPT, neurotron incorporated. Baltimore, Maryland. 21209 U.S.A.)는 신경의 감각이상을 평가하는 데 유용하게 쓰이는 평가기구이다. 이번 증례는 포진후신경통을 주소로 내원한 환자의 치료 증례를 통해, 포진후신경통의 발생기전을 고찰해보고, 그 치료법에 대하여 알아보고, 또한 치료과정 중의 경과관찰 방법으로서 $Neurometer^{(R)}$를 이용하여, 감각이상의 평가 및 경과관찰시 지각이상에 대한 정량적인 평가를 시도하였다.

Herpes simplex virus type-1의 vero 세포에서의 증식기작을 규명하기 위해 전자현미경으로 관찰하였고, 유전학적 특성을 규명하기 위해 유전자도서관을 작성하였고, thymidine kinase (TK) 유전자를 클로닝을 하였다. 감염 48시간 후 많은 수의 바이러스 nucleocapsid가 핵뿐만 아니라 세포질에서 관찰되었다. 바이러스는 세포에 감염된 후 핵내에서 복제증식한 후 세포질내로 이동하였으며, 이때 핵막을 통과하면서 외투막을 갖고 세포질로 이동하여 세포밖으로 나가는 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 또한 일부 nucleocapsid는 세포막을 출아하여 비리온으로 출아되었다. HSV-1의 DNA를 BamHI과 BglII 제한효소로 각각 절단하여 DNA의 절단 양상을 조사하였다. BamHI에 의해 절단된 단편은 27개 이었고, 그들 분자량의 범위는 1.1 - 14 kb이었으며, BglII에 의해 절단된 단편은 16개이었고, 분자량의 범위는 4.5 - 20.1 kb이었다. Southern blot 방법으로 TK 유전자를 포함하고 있는 단편을 확인하였는데, pHLA-12와 pHLB-14클론에 포함되어 있었고 각 단편의 분자량은 3.74와 6.41 kb이었다.
