We have come to a conclusion below after studying about the cause of limb hyperhidrosis through references, putting the result into practice clinically from Hyungsang remedy point of view, examining the effect of treatment. The cause of limb, palm and sole hyperhidrosis. The cause of limb hyperhidrosis is stomach heat(Yangmyung heat), weakness and coldness of stomach, moisture and heat of spleen and stomach, energy insufficiency of spleen and stomach, weakness of Yin of spleen and stomach, heat by weakness Yin meridian, unspread energy of liver, severe heat of heart, weakness of heart, shortage of blood, the functional disorder of kidney meridian and heart meridian(disposition of water ascension and fire descent), heat of blood(the functional disorder of heart) etc. The cause of palm hyperhidrosis is blood insufficiency of heart and liver or the functional disease of heart and stomach. The cause of sole hyperhidrosis is the functional disease of heart and kidney or the functional disease of kidney. Types classified by the cause of limb hyperhidrosis. The case of stomach heat, moisture and heat of spleen and stomach is found a lot in Yangmyeong and Fish Type. The case of weakness and coldness of stomach or insufficiency energy of spleen and stomach is found in Bangkwang and Ki Type, the shape of disorder of transfer and transformation of spleen and stomach. The case of severe heat of heart, the functional disorder of kidney meridian and heart meridian(disposition of water ascension and fire descent), heat of blood(the functional disorder of heart), heat by weakness of meridian of Yin is found a lot in Dam, Bird and Shin Type. Limb sweat caused by unspread energy of liver is found a lot in Horse Type. Palm sweat is found a lot in Bird or Yangmyeong Type. Sole sweat is found a lot in Fish or Taeum Type. Jeokbokryung-tang was good especially for type limb hyperhidrosis falling under the shape of the small intestines heat which conforms to the person having a short perpendicular furrow of the upper lip or lifted upper lip. Palmul-tang was good for type limb hyperhidrosis tending to having leaking liquid and humor because of the disorder of transfer of Jung, Ki, Shin, Hyul. Dossipyungwi-san and Hyangsapyungwi-san were good for type limb hyperhidrosis caused by stomach heat by food accumulation and Ki depression.

Tinnitus is usually due to insufficiency of Kidney-essence, asthenia of the Spleen and Stomach, diseases caused by exogenous pathogenic factor, Liver fire(肝火) by severe stress, Phlegm -fire(痰火) by surfeit of high caloric food and alcoholic liquor. I observed and treated four patients who had been diagnosed with tinnitus of Liver-fire(肝火) and Phlegm-fire(痰火). After I checked the Inyeong(人迎) and the chon spot(寸口), all of their Inyeong were stronger than chon spot. Unbalance of the Inyeong(人迎) and the chon spot(寸口), and symptoms of tinnitus were removed by Acupuncture therapy of three Yang meridians of the hand(手三陽) and three Yang meridians of the foot(足三陽).

Ninety-one adult patients underwent three different methods of annuloplasty and compared them by the amount of tricuspid regurgitation. Group I [n=17 is Kay method, Group II [n=46 is modified Kay method and Group III [n=28 is De Vega and modified De Vega method. Preoperative and postopeative size of the liver and its function, the cardiothoracic ratio, EKG and echocardiogram were analyzed. The follow up was done for all the patients [mean 20.0$\pm$ 8.5 months . The postoperative size of the liver, the postoperative cardiothoracic ratio and the postoperative systolic pressure of the right ventricle decreased significantly compared to preoperative size, ratio and pressure [p=0.0001, p=0.0001, p=0.0001 . But there were no differences between the groups. The results of annuloplasty revealed that tricuspid regurgitation improved postoperatively [p=0.0001 even though there was no statistically significant differences in relation to the methods of annuloplasty. The right ventricular systolic pressure and the amount of regurgitation decreased significantly during the postoperative period by performing 3 different methods of annuloplasty, although we could not find the differences between the three different methods.

The hot spot on liver scan was demonstrated by many authors in various conditions such as SVC obstruction, Budd-Chiari syndrome, liver abscess, hemangioma of liver, hepatic venoocclusive diseases, IVC obstruction, and tricuspid insufficiency. And the appearance of hot spot in SVC obstruction is due to unsual collateral circulation. But there was no report of this hots pot on liver scan in our country. We have recently observed one patient with SVC obstruction who shows well-defined area of increased radioactivity between right and left lobe of liver on liver scan using $^{99m}Tc-tin$ colloid, and demonstrated collateral circulations with RI venography using $^{99m}Tc-O_4$. The injection site of radiocolloid was left antecubital vein. This hot spot did not appear when the radiocolloid was injected into right leg vein. We report here this hot spot on liver scan in SVC obstruction with review of some liter atures.

This thesis is focused to get treatment on climacteric syndrome through literary study. The results are followed as below. 1. The climacteric syndrome is beginning with lowering of secretion of female hormone. It's not understood as abnormal disease but as normal phenomenon. 2. The causes of climacteric syndrome are defined as deficiency of the Kidney, stagnation of Liver, disharmony between Heart and Kidney, insufficiency of both the Heart and the Spleen, blood stagnation. 3. The causes of climacteric bleeding are continuous with overstrain, injury of the five emotions, blood heat, deteriorating blood. 4. The treatment of climacteric syndrome are mainly nutrition of Kidney and Liver, that of Kidney heat, descending Yang of Liver, nutrition of blood of heart, having a comunication with Kidney and Heart, nutrition of Spleen and Stomarch. 5. For the prescriptions on climacteric syndrome, the treatments such as Jaguium(左歸飮), Wooguium(右歸飮), Soyosan(逍遙散加減), Jibakjihwangtang(知柏地黃湯加減), Esuntang(二仙湯), Ejihwan(二至丸加味), Sihogayonggolmoryutang(柴胡加龍骨牡蠣湯加減) are used. And the acupuncture points such as Conception Channel, the Spleen Channel, the Urinary Bladder Channel, the Kidney Channel which are related to the lower belly of woman.

Pulmonary perfusion scan with radioactive $^{113m}In$-iron hydroxide particle was performed in the 25 cases of heart disease which had been diagnosed by cardiac catheterization prior to surgery from July, 1972 to July, 1973 at the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Yonsei Medical College. It consists of 7 mitral stenosis, 2 mitral insufficiency, 1 aortic insufficiency, 3 atrial septal defect, 5 ventricular septal defect, 2 patent ductus arteriosus, 1 transposition of great vessel and 4 Tetralogy of Fallot. Findings of pulmonary perfusion scan in relation to hemodynamic data of cardiac catheterization were examined. 1) Out of 10 cases of acquired valvular heart disease, In 6 cases of mitral stenosis and 1 case of aortic insufficiency, radioactivity was increased at both upper lung. This finding is noted when pulmonary wedge or venous pressure was elevated above 22 mmHg and arterial systolic pressure above 33 mmHg. 2) Out of 15 cases of congenital heart disease. In almost all cases of atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect except 2 cases, radioactivity was even at both entire lung. In 2 cases of patent ductus arteriosus, radioactivity was decreased especially at the left lung. It is observed that in acyanotic congenital heart disease, radioactivity of lung is not related with pulmonary arterial pressure. In 3 cases of Tetralogy of Fallot, radioactivity was even at both entire lung and in 2 of them, extrapulmonary radioactivity of liver or kidney which depends on size of defect and volume of right to left shunt reversible, was noted.

Purpose: In oriental medicine, doctors have mainly made diagnosis and treatment with amenorrhea or delayed menstrual period based on overall analysis of symptoms and signs patients have. We think patients with amenorrhea or delayed menstrual period to have symptoms that are classified into one differentiation of syndromes, and then studied to make the index. This study has been carried out to investigate pattern identifications and classify symptoms according to them. Methods: We examined 52 patients who visited Dong-eui university oriental medical center from June 2005 to February 2009 for undergoing treatment for amenorrhea or delayed menstrual period and made OB & GY questionnaires up Results: We investigated whether the patients had symptoms concerned with symptom types by analyzing the result of DSOM(Diagnos System of Oriental Medicine, hearafter DSOM). It came out 51 cases among 52 with pathogenesis that was related to the symptom types. The symptom types of were surveyed into Insufficiency of Kidney and Liver(肝腎不足), Insufficiency of Qi and Blood(氣血虛弱), Insufficiency of Yin & Dryness of blood(陰虛血燥), stagnation of Qi and Blood(氣滯血瘀), phlegm and damp(痰濕阻滯), coldness of Blood(血寒), Heat of Heart(心火). Conclusion: As a result of the investigation, one case did not have symptoms of differentiation of syndromes of amenorrhea or delayed menstrual period. 29 cases had 1 or 2 differentiation of syndromes. 21 patients had such complex symptoms of diverse differentiation of syndromes that it was difficult to diagnose a differentiation of syndromes in clinical survey. It is necessary to put the priority among the differentiation of syndromes in diagnosis in the future.

The present studies were designed to compare the effects of both dietary fat levels and P / S ratio on lipid components in plasma and tissues. Changes in plasma HDL-cholesterol, cholesterol and TG, and also in tissue cholesterol and TG were determined in young rats fed diets providing total dietary fat as 10%, 25% or 45% of calories and P / S ratio as 0.2 or 4.0. Plasma cholesterol levels were getting higher as dietary fat levels increased at P / S 0.2. Plasma cholesterol was lower in rats fed dietary fat either 25% or 45 %, each with P / S 4.0. But at 10% no change in plasma cholesterol were observed by P / S 4.0 because of a possible insufficiency of the absolute amount of PUFA. HDL-cholesterol was rather less sensitive to the modification of dietary fat level, but was reduced in rats fed diets of P / S 4.0 at either 25% or 45% fat, even though HDL-cholesterol were increased in the group of 10% with P / S 0.2. Total cholesterol per g- liver were significantly increased as dietary fat levels increased. Liver cholesterol levels were higher in rats fed diets of P / S 4.0 at higher fat levels (25% or 45%) which possibly suggested that a reduction of plasma cholesterol by high PUFA diet was not at least from a decreased synthesis of cholesterol in liver. However, in muscle no significant differences were found by feeding high P / S ratio at each levels of fat. At 10% fat level, compared to 25% or 45%, cholesterol level was lower in g-liver but higher in g- muscle. Plasma TG was decreased as more dietary fat were supplied at P / S ratio, but no consistant response obtained at low P / S ratio. TG per g-liver were reduced by feeding P / S 4.0 diet at 10% or 45% fat level but no differences were found in muscle. P / S 4.0 diet was more efficient in lowering plasma cholesterol TG and HDL-cholesterolt levels only if fat level was more than 25% of the total calories And young rats were more resistant to dietary fat modification.

The results of hepatic portojejunostomy in 34 patients with biliary atresia operated upon by one surgeon between May 1989 and December 1997 were analyzed. Eleven (32.3 %) patients were 60 days or younger, 14 patient (41.2 %) were between 60 and 90 days, and 9 (26.5 %) were over 90 days of age. Jaundice cleared in 20 cases (58.8 %). Three patients died of liver insufficiency, 2 were anicteric but died from esophageal variceal bleeding. Three patients died as a result of sepsis, heart failure and left kidney agenesis. Five patients were lost to follow-up. The five-year survival rate was 73.8 %. Two patients over 90 days of age, survived more than 5 years. Survival rates were not significantly related to the age at operation. We conclude that hepatic portojejunostomy should be considered as a primary surgical modality for biliary atresia, even at age 90 days or more. Early detection of esophageal varices and sclerotherapy may be necessary. Liver transplantation is necessary if hepatic failure develops.
