Backgrounds and Purpose: Hypertension is a common origin for stroke, heart disease, etc. Clinical management is needed to prevent these diseases. It has been said that auricular acupuncture treatment can be used for the control of hypertension. In this study, we studied the effects of auricular acupuncture on mild hypertension. Materials and Methods: Clinical study was performed on 22 stroke patients who didn't take the antihypertensive drugs. They were admitted in Kyunghee University, Hospital of Oriental Medicine. We checked patients' 24-hour blood pressure by Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor and did auricular acupuncture treatment for one day and rechecked blood pressure for 24-hours. We compared the blood pressure between, before, and after auricular acupuncture treatment by Wilcoxon test. The acupuncture points were KOHYOLABJUM, NAEBUNBI, SHINMUN, SHIM, KANGABJUM. They were all on the auricular. Results: After auricular acupuncture treatment, systolic and diastolic hypertension decreased significantly(p<0.05), but heart rates didn't change significantly. Conclusions: These results suggest that Auricular acupuncture treatment may be used for antihypertensive purpose. About the efficacy and safety, further study is needed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of hospital-based physical and occupational therapy on Modified Barthel Index (MBI) score in stroke inpatients at least 3 months after stroke, to predict MBI score at discharge from subscales of MBI, and determine the characteristics of stroke at admission. Forty-five stroke inpatients participated and received physical and occupational therapy for two months. All participants were assessed on MBI at admission and discharge. The collected data was analyzed by dependency level (MBI${\leq}$74 and MBI${\geq}$75) at admission. The results revealed that the MBI score at discharge was significantly improved compared to the MBI score at admission in the group with more than moderate dependency level (MBI${\leq}$74). In particular, personal hygiene, dressing, ambulation, and chair/bed transfer were improved. But only ambulation was improved significantly in the group with a less than mild dependency level (MBI${\geq}$75). The chair/bed transfer, dressing, ambulation, and Mini-Mental State Exam-Korea score at admission were important factors in the MBI score at discharge. Eighty-six percent of the variation in MBI score function at discharge can be explained. Therefore, it is suggested that hospital-based physical and occupational therapy in subacute stroke improve independent living status, especially for patients with a more than moderate dependency level.

PURPOSE: The purpose of present study was to determine effects of circuit class training (CCT) on the synthesis of central serotonin in people with post-stroke depression. METHODS: Forty patients with mild post-stroke depression were participated in current study. All subjects were assigned to two groups of CCT (circuit class training) group and SW (stretching and weight shifting) group. Both groups were performed for 80 minutes. The change of blood f-Trp, BCAAs, f-Trp/BCAAs and serotonin according to period training time were examined and the following results were obtained. RESULTS: In the CCT group, f-Trp, BCAAs, and f-Trp/BCAAs increased according to the time point. However, after 24 hour of circuit class training, all of these were significantly decreased by those before training. The change in blood levels of serotonin was the highest in immediately after the training in the CCT group while it was not changed significantly in the SW group. CONCLUSION: It can be seen that CCT can change the serotonin level and have an effect on the synthesis of central serotonin in people with post-stroke depression.

Brovincamine is a selective cerebral vasodilator that was apparently produced via a slow calcium blockade. Brovincamine has been shown to increase ATP production and glucose and oxygen consumption in brain, improving energy metabolism. Also brovincamine inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ADP and collagen in vivo and in vitro via an increase of cAMP concentration, promoting therapeutic effects on cerebral circulatory disorders. So we investigated and represented the clinical effects and safety of brovincamine in patients with cerebral stroke. Thirty patients of cerebral stroke that was older than 2 months, who were 22 cases of cerebral infarction, 6 of cerebral embolism that originated from carebral infarction, 6 of cerebral embolism that originated from cardiac diseases, and 2 of cerebral embolism that originated from cardiac diseases, and 2 of cerebral hemorrhage, were administered of 20 mg of oral brovincamine three times daily for 8 weeks. Improvement rates of each symptom after 8 week administration were 30.8% for subjective symptoms, 76% for psychiatric symptoms and 65.6% for neurologic symptoms. In final global improvement rates, much improvement was 10%, improvement was 23.3% slight improvement is 36.7%, and no change was 30%. So global improvement rate including slight improvement was 70%. As for side effects, there were 3 cases of mild gastrointestinal symptoms, but there were no other subjective side effects and significant fluctuation in laboratory examination. Conclusively throughout the present study, brovincamine is judged to be well tolerated and effective in patients with cerebral stroke.

Purpose: This study was a comparative analysis of stroke-related factors between recurrent patients and non-recurrent patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort study design was used, and data were collected from March 2020 to April 2020 using electronic medical records. 244 patients (221 first-timers and 23 recurrent) were included in this study. Results: The stroke recurrence rate in 5 years was 9.4%, the readmission rate was 39.3%, and the mortality rate was 2.0%. The number of patients hospitalized for stroke was greater among men than among women. Of the patients, 60.7% had an underlying disease. With regard to daily life abilities, over 70% of participants needed more than moderate dependence and about 40% of participants had more than mild cognitive impairment. More than 50% were moved to wheelchairs or stretcher cars. The difference in the stroke readmission rate between recurrent and non-recurrent patients was statistically significant. Conclusions: Based on our findings, a program to prevent recurrence of stroke should be developed to considering age, ability of daily living, place of discharge, gait ability at discharge, and place of discharge.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of coordinative locomotor training in a chronic stroke patient. Methods: A left hemiplegic patient diagnosed with a right middle cerebral artery stroke participated in this research. The patient's functional conditions were assessed, and a coordinative locomotor training program was initiated to resolve the problems identified. A set of movements deemed difficult based on the brief International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health core set for stroke and d4501 (long-distance walking) were agreed as improvement targets. The program comprised warm up, main, cool-down, and home exercises. Repeated measurements were obtained, as follows: five times at baseline (A), 10 times during the intervention (B), and five times after the intervention (A). The study period was 7 weeks, and the intervention period was 1 h per day, twice a week for 5 weeks. Various tools, including the community walking test (CWT), 10-m walking test (10 MWT), 6-min walking test (6 MWT), and timed up and go (TUG) test, were conducted to assess the patient's walking ability. Changes in functional domains before and after the ICF Qualifier were compared. The mean values of the descriptive statistics were calculated, and a visual analysis using graphs was used to compare the rates of change. Results: The results showed that the CWT, 10 MWT, 6 MWT, and TUG test scores during the intervention period improved and that this improvement remained, even during the baseline period. In addition, the ICF Qualifier before and after the comparison decreased from moderate to mild. Conclusion: Based on the results, we propose that coordinative locomotor training can have positive effects on community ambulation of chronic stroke patients.

본 연구의 목적은 뇌졸중 환자의 운동공포증과 낙상공포 사이에 융합적 관계를 조사하는 것이다. 총 113명의 뇌졸중 환자가 본 연구에 참여하였다. 참여자는 재활병원 입원환자로 낙상 효능감 척도(FES), 운동공포증을 위한 번역된 탐파 척도(TSK-13), 및 활동-특이성 균형 자신감 척도(ABC)를 포함한 3가지 다른 설문지를 작성하도록 요청하였다. TSK-13과 FES는 약한 음의 상관관계를 보였고(r=-0.226), TSK-13과 ABC는 중등도 음의 상관관계가 나타났다(r=0.838). FES는 ABC와 비교했을 때 매우 강한 양의 상관관계가 나타났다(r=0.838). 낙상을 경험한 환자는 낙상을 경험하지 않은 환자보다 유의하게 낮은 FES와 ABC 점수를 보였다(p<0.05). 이 결과는 뇌졸중 환자가 경증 운동공포증을 가지고 있으며, 운동공포증은 낙상공포와 관련이 있음을 제시하고 있습니다. 앞으로 뇌졸중 재활에 있어 운동공포증의 평가가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
