편평태선은 피부와 점막에 발생하는 만성 염증성 질환으로써 신체 여러 부위에 침범하여 매우 다양한 임상소견을 나타낸다. 아직 정확한 원인은 밝혀지지 않았으나 피부나 점막에서 유도된 항원변화에 대한 상피와 결체조직 사이의 세포매개성 면역반응에 의한 것으로 알려져 있다. 중년 여성에서 호발하고, 증상의 악화와 완화가 번갈아 일어나는 것이 이 질환의 특징으로, 정신적 스트레스, 유전적 요인, 환경적 요인, 약물 등의 여러 요소가 증상의 악화에 관여하는 것으로 추정된다. 피부 편평태선 환자의 60-70%에서 구강 편평태선이 동반되고, 구강 편평태선 환자의 2/3 가량이 단독병소로써 나타난다. 이번 연구에서는 정서적 스트레스가 구강 편평태선을 악화시키는데 있어 어떤 영향을 미치는지 평가하고자 한다. 임상검사 혹은 조직검사 결과 구강 편평태선으로 진단된 환자 30명과 치과대학 학생들의 부모들 중 구강 편평태선의 증상 및 병력이 없는 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 스트레스 상황의 평가를 위해서는 한국적 문화에 맞게 적절하게 변형한 Holmes와 Rahe의 사회적 재적응 평정척도 설문지(SRRS)를 이용하였다. 분석결과 구강 편평태선 환자들이 대조군에 비해 최근 1년 동안 더 많은 수의 스트레스성 사건들을 경험한 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives: The facial bones are the most noticeable area in the human body, and facial injuries can cause significant functional, aesthetic, and psychological complications. Continuous study of the patterns of facial bone fractures and changes in trends is helpful in the prevention and treatment of maxillofacial fractures. The purpose of the current clinico-statistical study is to investigate the pattern of facial fractures over a 4-year period. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 1,824 fracture sites was carried out in 1,284 patients admitted to SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center for facial bone fracture from January 2010 to December 2013. We evaluated the distributions of age/gender/season, fracture site, cause of injury, duration from injury to treatment, hospitalization period, and postoperative complications. Results: The ratio of men to women was 3.2:1. Most fractures occurred in individuals aged between teens to 40s and were most prevalent at the middle and end of the month. Fractures occurred in the nasal bone (65.0%), orbital wall (29.2%), maxillary wall (15.3%), zygomatic arch (13.2%), zygomaticomaxillary complex (9.8%), mandibular symphysis (6.5%), mandibular angle (5.9%), mandibular condyle (4.9%), and mandibular body (1.9%). The most common etiologies were fall (32.5%) and assault (26.0%). The average duration of injury to treatment was 6 days, and the average hospitalization period was 5 days. Eighteen postoperative complications were observed in 17 patients, mainly infection and malocclusion in the mandible. Conclusion: This study reflects the tendency for trauma in the Seoul metropolitan region because it analyzes all facial fracture patients who visited our hospital regardless of the specific department. Distinctively, in this study, midfacial fractures had a much higher incidence than mandible fractures.

The defects of the abdominal wall could be brought about either congenitally, for instances in such cases as omphalocele or gastroschisis, or by various acquired causes-trauma, excision of tumors, excision of burn scar, tissue necrosis caused by infection, hematoma after abdominal surgery, tissue necrosis after radiation therapy and so on. As for the techniques of the reconstruction of the abdominal wall defects, many authors have developed and reported diverse methods. To summarize, primary closure, skin graft, local skin flaps, various myocutaneous flaps, free flap, fascia graft, artificial mesh, tissue expansion, etc could be used in the reconstruction of the abdominal wall defects. The periumbilical perforator-based island skin flap has a many advantages such as no significant sacrifice of the rectus abdominis muscle, wide rotation arc, reliable blood flow of the perforator, short elevation time for flap, and for middle-aged, obese patients, the donor site may be the best from the cosmetic point of view. We used perforator-based island skin flap in 5 cases with reasonable result from March 1999 to May 2001. There were no significant complications and donor sites could be repaired primarily.

Apoplexy is a disease of a morbid condition manifested as sudden syncope, unconciousness, distortion of face, hemiplegia and dysphasia, usually seen in the middle-aged. The symptoms and signs before sudden onset are headache, dizziness, numbness of extremities, palpitation, etc. This study was performed to investige causes of disease, therapies and prescriptions by insect medicine through the successive medical literatures, recent chinese medical literatures and chinese medical journals. The results are as follows; 1. The treatment of apoplexy is divided into stage of attack and sequela. In stage of attack, the principal therapies of apoplexy are calming the liver, suppressed Yang, dissipate phlegm and elimination weatness. In sequela, the principal therapies of apoplexy are invigorating Qi, promote blood circulation and dredge collateral. 2. Insects medicine have more strong effect than herbal medicine, because apoplexy is a kind of critically desease. 3. Insects medicine is effective in a convalscent stage and sequela of apoplexy. The proper dosage for stage of attack is a small dose of insects medicine(about 2-4g), increse gradually. In convalscent stage, about 4g, in sequela, patients need a large dose of insects medicine(about 8g). 4. Hirudo used to remove stagnated blood and to disperse swelling for the treatment of severe cases of blood stasis, such as cerebral infarction, sequela of cerebrovascular accident, contused wounds. Lumbricus used to for the treatment of convulsions due to high fever, and for hemiplegia and hypertension. Scolopendra used to subdue the endogenous wind for the treatment of various kinds of tics, convulsions and tetanus, and it's character is strong because it will be effective Sthenia-Syndrome of apoplexy. Scorpio used to subdue the endogenous wind for the treatment of various kind of tics, convulsions, tetanus and sequela of cerebrovascular accident.

Central serous chorioretinopathy may induce poor eyesight and serous retinal detachment. However, its exact cause has not been well established thus far. It can be associated with systemic high-dose corticosteroid treatment mainly for young and middle-aged men and may spontaneously regress or recur after withdrawal from corticosteroid. After corticosteroid administration for Behcet's disease, it is necessary to identify any ocular symptoms. Behcet's disease can lead to the development of ocular complications, such as uveitis, hypopyon, retinal vasculitis, optic neuritis, angiogenesis, secondary cataract, and glaucoma. It is possible to diagnose any of these complications via optical coherence tomography and digital indocyanine green angiography. It is easy to neglect an ocular symptom that may appear after a low-dose corticosteroid treatment as an ocular complication in patients with Behcet's disease. Thus, we report on a case concerning high-dose corticosteroid treatment with a literature review.

대전에 소재하는 C 대학교 병원의 물리치료실에 2003년 5월 9일부터 2004년 10월 20일까지 내원한 환자들 중 견부 통증의 진단으로 치료를 받은 환자 가운데 중추신경계에 손상 병력이 없고, 치료사와 의사소통이 가능한 인지 능력을 가졌으며, 실험에 참가하기로 동의한 환자를 대상으로 내원한 순서에 따라 아로마 초음파군, 아로마군, 초음파군에 각각 30명씩을 배정하여 실험한 결과, 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 통증의 정도를 알아보는 시각적 통증 점수가 감소하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 통증 감소의 정도도 차이가 있었다. 사후 검정을 보면 아로마 초음파군과 아로마군의 통증 감소의 정도가 초음파군에 비해 높았다(p<0.001). 또한 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 McGill-Melzac 통증 점수 역시 감소하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 차이는 없었지만, 교호작용을 고려하면 아로마를 사용한 군에서 감소 폭이 더 큰 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 압통계의 역치 역시 치료의 횟수가 증가함에 따라 모든 군에서 상승하였으며(p<0.001), 군 간에 역치 증가의 정도에도 차이가 있었는데(p<0.05), 사후 검정을 보면 아로마 초음파군이 아로마군에 비해 역치 증가의 폭이 더 컸다. 따라서 압통계의 역치 증가는 아로마 보다는 초음파에 더 영향을 받는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 아로마 오일은 주관적이고, 정서적인 통증을 검사하는 시각적 통증 점수와 McGill-Melzac 점수에 많은 영향을 미치는 반면 조직의 회복에 의해 상승하는 압력 역치를 검사하는 압통계의 수치에는 영향을 적게 미침을 확인할 수 있었으며, 반면 초음파는 주관적, 정서적인 통증의 감소보다는 실제 조직이 회복되면서 감소하는 통증에 더 많은 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: This study attempted to understand health behaviors and analyze the association of the health behaviors with musculoskeletal diseases in adults. Method: The subjects of this study were 6,946 adults aged between 20 and 65 who had participated in the 2001 National Health Nutrition Survey. The instrument was composed of Health Interview Survey (HIS), Health Behavior Survey (HBS) and Health Examination Survey (HES), which were used in the 2001 National Health Nutrition Survey. Data were analyzed using SPSS 10.1 by applying $x^2$ and multivariate logistic regression. Results: 1. The present smoking rate was 46.5% and the present drinking rate was 81.2%. 2. Of the subjects, 22.7% were overweight ($BMI{\geq}25$), and 28.1% were exercising regularly. 3. Major factors affecting musculoskeletal diseases were low education, poor economic state, smoking, and BMI. Middle school graduates were 2.54 times more likely to have musculoskeletal diseases than college graduates. The risk was 1.83 times higher in indigent respondents than in affluent ones, and 1.43 times higher in smokers than in non-smokers. Conclusion: Therefore, in order to reduce musculoskeletal diseases in adults, other various factors should be looked into, and public education about appropriate posture and exercise should be carried out in community. Additionally, concentrated intervention programs for patients with musculoskeletal diseases should be performed.

The roots of teeth exposed by gingival recession, may be successfully covered by various type of gingival grafting procedures. Vascularization of the recipient site is an essential determinant of the grafts' survival during the first healing stages. It has been suggested that a procedure by which they stimulate the periosteum presurgically will induce the proliferation of neo-endothelium in the site to be operated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the variations in the gingival blood flow during 4weeks after periosteal stimulation in patient scheduled to receive gingival grafts and to compare variations in the gingival blood flow between smoker and non-smoker. Laser Doppler Flowmetry(floLAB(R), Moor Instruments Ltd, England ; wave length = 780mm. Max. power =l.6mW) was used to measure the gingival blood flow. 112 sites of 68 male patients (32 smokers and 36 non-smoker), aged between 23 and 48 years (smoker : 24-44 years. mean=32.6, non-smoker : 23-48 years, mean=28.5) were monitored for the blood flow. Gingival blood flow measured at before periosteal stimulation, 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-weeks after periosteal stimulation from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The difference of blood flow in each measuring time, each measuring site and between smokers and non-smokers were statistically analyzed by MANOVA. The results were as follows : (1) Blood flow stayed increased for 2 weeks, and then, it was a tendency to decrease(p<0.05). (2) There was no statistically significant difference of blood flow change between smokers and non-smokers. (3)The blood flow at middle site had lower than mesial and distal site during the measuring periods(p<0.05). The present study suggested that blood flow change following periosteal stimulation was significant difference, thus periosteal stimulation before gingival graft might induce favorable results in gingival recession patient.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine exercise program and outcome variables of exercise intervention studies from 1985 to 2004 in 9 major nursing journals in Korea. Method: From 81 articles, publishing year, research design, subjects, exercise program and outcome variables were analyzed. Results: The 57 papers(70.4%) were experimental research among 81 papers. Subjects of exercise intervention studies were demonstrated that patients were 55.6% while healthy person was 44.4%. Exercise type by the subjects which demonstrated the highest proportion was dance movement for the elderly, walking for the middle aged women and aqua exercise for the arthritis. The 40 papers(49.4%) included exercise duration, frequency and time for the exercise program which demonstrated the highest proportion. Outcome variables to determine the effect of exercise intervention were demonstrated to be physical function, physiological index, psychological and emotional variables, cardiopulmonary function, body composition, physical symptoms, variables related to exercise and behavior in order. Conclusion: Half of the exercise intervention papers included exercise duration, frequency, time and intensity for the exercise program. Frequently used outcome variables to determine the effect of exercise intervention were demonstrated to be physical function, physiological index and psychological emotional variables.

A retrospective study was performed with 9 cases of spontaneous canine hypoadrenocorticism presented to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Seoul National University. The disease occurred mostly in young to middle­aged dogs. Most dogs had chronic nonspecific signs such as episodic anorexia, lethargy and vomiting, but 3 dogs were brought to the hospital with an acute adrenal crisis. Serum biochemical analysis revealed azotemia, abnormal concentration of sodium, potassium, and chloride in almost all the patients. Diagnoses were made based on lack of adrenocortical response to exogenous adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH). Most dogs have been responded well with mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid replacement except for a dog which died during treatment for adrenal crisis. Three dogs treated with fludrocortisone acetate(final median dosage, $31.0{\mu}g/kg/day$) for mineralocorticoid supplementation showed some adverse effects, such as excessive appetite and polyuria/polydipsia. In this study, it was suggested that clinicians should also consider hypoadrenocorticism when they diagnose a patient showing nonspecific gastrointestinal signs with unknown cause or laboratory findings which mimic primary renal diseases.
