A 72 year-old male patient with Pneumonia and Cerebral infarction was treated. He was suffering from cough, sputum, fever, decreased mentality and dyspepsia. His symtoms were diagnosed as damp and phlegm of the Spleen and the Stomach, and he administered Hwajung-Tang(和中湯). After 23 days, clinical symptoms of Pneumonia had improved. Results of Chest PA and CBC profile also showed improvement. These results support a role for oriental medicine treatment in the treatment of elderly patients with Pneumonia.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect of oriental medical treatments on the patients with delirium. Methods : Four patients diagnosed with delirium by DSM-$IV^{TM}$ was treated Onbaek-won(Wenbai-yuan), Jugeo-hwan(Zhouju-wan) and herb medicine. The severity of delirium was assessed by using MMSE-K. And then, we investigated and analyzed the clinical symptoms of the patients. Results : After oriental medical treatments, the symptoms of delirium were disappeared and MMSE-K score was improved. Conclusions : It could be suggested that oriental medical treatments were effective on delirium. Further study of the effect of oriental medical treatments on delirium is needed in the near future.

Proteins related to DNA replication have been proposed as cancer biomarkers and targets for anticancer agents. Among them, minichromosome maintenance (MCM) proteins, often overexpressed in various cancer cells, are recognized both as notable biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and as targets for cancer treatment. Here, we investigated the activity of cedrol, a single compound isolated from Juniperus chinensis, in reducing the expression of MCM proteins in human lung carcinoma A549 cells. Remarkably, cedrol also strongly inhibited the expression of all other MCM protein family members in A549 cells. Moreover, cedrol treatment reduced cell viability in A549 cells, accompanied by cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase, and enhanced apoptosis. Taken together, this study broadens our understanding of how cedrol executes its anticancer activity while demonstrating that cedrol has potential application in the treatment of human lung cancer as an inhibitor of MCM proteins.

Craniosynostosis is a congenital anomaly in which cranial sutures close prematurely and restrict skull growth. In this paper, the case of two siblings, a male and a female, who were both diagnosed as craniosynostosis is reported. They underwent corrective osteotomy for cranial vault remodeling. A 22-month-old female infant who was brought to the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery of the authors' hospital was diagnosed with plagiocephaly. At the same time, her 7-month-old brother was diagnosed with brachycephaly. In the case of the female infant, corrective coronal osteotomy and supraorbital bar advancement were performed. Her brother underwent frontal advancement osteotomy using Tessier's tongue in the groove procedure. After the correction of the craniosynostosis, the two patients recovered in several days later, and the results were good in both cases cosmetically and functionally. They showed normal head circumference increasing curves and no symptom of functional disorder in their last follow-up. Isolated or nonsyndromic craniosynostosis is sporadic but mostly autosomal dominant. This paper presents a case of craniosynostosis with a genetic tendency; and although it occurred between siblings, the affected lesions differed. Thus, appropriate diagnosis and management in patients are needed.

Livestock manure treatments have become a more serious problem because massive environmental pollutions such as green and red tides caused by non-point pollution sources from livestock manures have emerged as a serious social issue. In addition, more food wastes are being produced due to population growth and increased income level. Since the London Convention has banned the ocean dumping of wastes, some other waste treatment methods for land disposal had to be developed and applied. At the same time, researches have been conducted to develop alternative energy sources from various types of wastes. As a result, anaerobic digestion as a waste treatment method has become an attractive solution. In this study has three objectives: first, to identify the physical properties of the mixture of livestock wastewater and food waste when combining food waste treatment with the conventional livestock manure treatment based on anaerobic mesophilic digestion; second, to find the ideal ratio of waste mixture that could maximize the collection efficiency of methane ($CH_4$) from the anaerobic digestion process; and third, to promote $CH_4$ production by comparing the biodegradability. As a result of comparing the reactors R1, R2, and R3, each containing a mixture of food waste and livestock manure at the ratio of 5:5, 7:3, and 3:7, respectively, R2 showed the optimum treatment efficiencies for the removal of Total Solids (TS) and Volatile Solids (VS), $CH_4$ production, and biodegradability.

Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the effect of Needle-Embedding Therapy in early stage of intractable peripheral facial paralysis. Methods : 46 patients with severe peripheral facial paralysis were treated with oriental medicine therapy including Needle-Embedding Therapy in their early stage. We evaluated the effect of Needle-Embedding Therapy by House-Brackmann Grading system, decrease of subjective symptoms and satisfaction measurement. Results : After treatment, HB-Scale grade was significantly decreased(p-value<0.001). More than 50% of subjective symptoms were disappeared in 82.61% of patients. 80.48% of the patients was satisfied with the Needle-Embedding Therapy. Conclusion : Needle-Embedding Therapy could be effective to improve symptoms of severe peripheral facial paralysis in early stage. Further studies will be required to identify the beneficial effect of Needle-Embedding Therapy in early stage of peripheral facial paralysis.

1. Purpose : The research is study to classify the clinical symptoms of the diabetes mellitus according of the Sasang constitution. that is used to treat and manage the diabetics. 2. Method : We collected 69 patients with diabetes who were diagnosed Sasang constitution at department of Sasang constitutional Medicine in Dongeui Oriental Hospital during 1 year from August. 2000 to July. 2001. and then we investigated and analyzed the clinical symptoms of the diabetics according of the Sasang constitution 3. Result and conclusion We investigated the clinical symptoms of the diabetes according of the Sasang constitution to find relationship between the symptoms and the Sasang constitutions. The result of it, we found that it is different between the symptoms according of the Sasang constitution in first symptoms of the diabetes mellitus, weight, appetite, urine and drinking water. Therefore we have found that it is possibility to classify the clinical symptoms of the diabetes mellitus patients according of the Sasang constitution.
