In order to reconstruct the concept on the public relations of public libraries, this study builds a theoretical background on the public relations of public libraries and tries to systemize the public relations of public libraries utilizing the Linkage System by Grunig & Hunt. Emphasizing the importance of the communication between the organization and its environment, Grunig & Hunt theoretically systemized the Linkage System of the organization. Adopting the Linkage System, this study tries to conceptualize the subjects, objects, directions, contents, and methods on the public relations of public libraries.

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is caused by infection of herpes zoster and associated with otalgia, herpetic eruptions, facial palsy, trigerminal pain and cochleovestibular dysfunction such as deafness, tinnitus, vertigo and so on. A 60-year old female, who has tinnitus, peripheral facial palsy, deafness, vertigo, postauricular pain and herpetic eschar, had been admitted to Wonkwang University Oriental Jeonju Medicine Hospital. We treated this patient with Daehwangchijahwangbaeg-byung and Yongdamsagantang-gami, and the patients showed improvement in the symptoms. So we describe the process and contents about the way the patient was cured.

Tolosa-Hunt syndrome is a rare self-limiting disease that's characterized by painful ophthalmoplegia. It has a relapsing and remitting course, and the pain responds promptly to systemic corticosteroid therapy. Yet it is diagnosed by the exclusion of other major causes involving the superior orbital fissure or cavernous sinus, including trauma, neoplasm, aneurysm and inflammation. Further, the associated ophthalmoplegia may follow days to weeks after the onset of orbital or hemifacial pain. Hence, this condition is often misdiagnosed as atypical facial pain, and so improper management could result in unnecessary suffering of the patient. The following case describes a patient suffering with hemifacial pain associated with ipsilateral abducens nerve palsy, which was evident 2 weeks after the onset of pain, and this was misdiagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia and atypical facial pain.

Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) is characterized by painful ophthalmoplegia and diagnosed by the exclusion of other major diseases. This study was done to find the effectiveness of electroacupuncture at oculomotor muscles and herbal-med on a THS patient. We used this method and Bogan-san ($B\check{a}og\check{a}n-s\check{a}n$) without steroids and treated a THS patient who suffered from pain behind the right eye, ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, frontal headache and dysosmia. 18 days after admission, the symptoms were improved and almost gone. In conclusion, we suggest electroacupuncture at oculomotor muscles and Bogan-san ($B\check{a}og\check{a}n-s\check{a}n$) is effective to treat THS without steroids, and we recommend more studies of this method on THS.

Explicit solutions of the wave dispersion equation are developed using the recursive relation in terms of the relative water depth. We use the solutions of Eckart (1951), Hunt (1979), and the deep-water and shallow-water solutions for initial values of the solution. All the recursive solutions converge to the exact one except that with the initial value of deep-water solution. The solution with the initial value by Hunt converged much faster than the others. The recursive solutions may be obtained quickly and simply by a hand calculator. For the transformation of linear water waves in whole water depth, the use of the recursive solutions will yield more accurate analytical solutions than use of previously developed explicit solutions.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the improvement of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and Bell's palsy after Oriental Medicine treatment Methods : Twelve patients with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and twenty patients with Bell's Palsy who visited the Iksan Oriental Medical Hospital of Wonkwang University were evaluated. Evaluation was carried out by facial palsy grading system of Yanagihara. Results : 1. In the analysis of causes. the most common cause was 'none' with 14 cases(43.8%). stress with 8 cases(25.0%). fatigue with 4 cases(12.5%), cold and URI with 3 cases(9.0%) each. 2. In the analysis of prodrome, there was retroauricular pain in 16 cases(50.0%). headache and 'none' in 8 cases(25.0%) each. 3. There was no significant difference between RHS and Bell's palsy in evaluation score. Conclusions : RHS and Bell's palsy showed no statistical significant difference between severity of before treatment and that of after treatment.

Objective : To evaluate the effect of Oriental medical treatment on a patient with Ramsay Hunt syndrome with poor prognosis on EMG. Methods : We applied various methods of Oriental Medical treatment including Acupuncture, Electroacupuncture, Herb medicine, Vesiculation therapy using Mylabris and Crontonis Fructus, Massage, Self-excercise of face muscles. Results : 1. Herb medicine was applied on the basis of Differentiation of Syndromes(辨證): We tried Herb medicine to improve the function of Digestive System. The patient's stool condition, subjective sensation related with abdominal pain and general condition improved. 2. We used the Vesiculation therapy using Mylabris which was used traditionally to treat Facial Palsy. We powdered Mylabris and mixed it with Crontonis Fructus to make a paste. We put it on Ye-poong(?風), Nae-gwan(內關) at left side. It induced vesicles at the applied area, but it disappeared in 48 hours without any scar. 3. We applied acupuncture, electroacupunture, massage and self-excercise of face muscles. On gross scale assessment, there was some improvement. And assessment with regional scale also showed changes. The patient and the guardian were satisfied with the result. Conclusion : We experienced a case of Ramsay Hunt syndrome with poor prognosis on EMG. She also showed poor response to conservative treatment. Through various modalities of Oriental medical treatment, we attained some clinical improvement.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report a case of Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome showing continual improvement after 3 months of onset. Methods : This study was conducted with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome patient who hospitalized in Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology & Dermatology Clinic of Korean medical hospital. The patient was treated with Korean medical treatment including Ligigeopoong-san Gagam, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture (Hwangryunhaedok-tang) and the other physics therapy. After treatment, we evaluated subjective symptoms, Yanagihara scale and H-B Grade. Results : As a result, the patient continued to improve even after 3 months after the onset, and showed complete recovery and significant improvement in subjective symptoms after treatment. Conclusions : It is considered that Korean medical treatment can be applied to the treatment of Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome.

Idiopathic hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (ICHP) is diffuse inflammatory process of the dura mater. ICHP can produce similar presentation with Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) if it involves cavernous sinus. A-29-year old male with persistent headache and no definite neurologic dysfunction was noted. Two weeks later, he complained of ophthalmoplegia, and his symptoms were thought to be manifestations of THS. Brain magnetic resonance images revealed diffuse thickened, enhanced pachymeninges in left tentorium. The patient was diagnosed with IHCP. We report a IHCP patient who showed very similar presentation as THS.

Invasive sphenoid sinus aspergillosis can mimic Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS), leading to frequent misdiagnoses and potentially fatal consequences. We report a case of invasive sphenoid sinus aspergillosis initially misdiagnosed as THS. A 79-year-old man presented with right periorbital pain, ophthalmoplegia, and loss of vision. Initial evaluations including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), were normal. He was first diagnosed with THS based on clinical features. The disease progressed despite high-dose intravenous steroid treatment, and an enhancing mass-like lesion was found in the right orbital apex, cavernous sinus, and sphenoid sinus on follow-up MRI. Aspergillosis was eventually confirmed by sphenoid sinus biopsy. The patient developed cerebral infarction and finally died despite being treated with amphotericin B. Given that invasive sphenoid sinus aspergillosis may initially resemble THS, high suspicion and rapid histological examination are important for diagnosis.
