Objectives : This study was aimed to investigated the warning signs and its relationship with the other characteristics in acute stroke patients. Methods : 225 acute stroke patients were recruited at the Department of Cardiovascular and Neurologic Diseases (Stroke Center) of Kyung Hee University Oriental Hospital from October 2005 to September 2006. We evaluated their stroke type with brain MRI, their warning signs, and general characteristics such as age, sex, past history, risk factors, etc. Results : 225 subjects were included in the final analysis. In the subjects' general characteristics, the most common etiology of stroke was small vessel occlusion. In the assessment of the subjects' warning signs, the frequency of tension felt at the cervical area was highest followed by blepharospasm, sensory dysfunction (one side of numbness, tingling sensation, dead sensation), one side paralysis or weakness, etc. After analyzing etiology, cerebral hemorrhage had more facial spasm sign and hypertension than cerebral infarction. On the other hand, cerebral infarction had more diabetes and sensory dysfunction (one side of numbness, tingling sensation, dead sensation) than cerebral hemorrhage. Among stroke locations, subjects with their brain lesion in the cortex had more warning sings of motor dysfunction such as one side paralysis, or weakness. Multiple lesions showed a close relationship with smoking habit and were more common in males than in females. The under 65 years old group were more commonly associated with alcohol consumption, accidental mental stress and blepharospam than the over 65 years old group. In the group of under 65 years old, males more commonly had lesions in occipital lobe, alcohol consumption and smoking habit than females. Otherwise, females more commonly had vision dysfunction and blepharospasm than males. In the group of over 65 years old, males more commonly had cortex lesion than females. On the other hand, Females more commonly had accidental mental stress than males. Conclusions : We observed various warning signs and their distribution in acute stroke patients. The subjects' brainlesions and their etiology seemed to affect the features of the warning signs. Hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia were also related to etiology of stroke and some habitual problems such as smoking and drinking seemed to reduce the age of stroke ictus. Although a concrete conclusion can hardly be drawn from this study, it reminds physicians of the importance of warning signs which appear among their patients.

산성 식염수 쥐모델은 사람의 섬유근통에 근접한 모델로 제시되고 있다. 포도씨에서 얻은 oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPC)는 항산화제로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 산성 식염수 모델에서 통증 역치에 대한 OPC의 효과를 연구했다. 좌측 장딴지 근육에 pH 4.0의 산성 식염수 $100\;{\mu}l$를 0일과 5일에 주사했다. 대조군은 pH 7.2의 생리 식염수를 같은 스케줄로 주사했다. 산성 식염수 그룹 10마리를 다시 두 그룹으로 나누어 한 그룹은 멸균 식염수, 다른 한 그룹은 OPC 300 mg/kg를 복강 내 주사했다. 복강 내 주사 한시간 후 다시 통각에 대한 역치를 조사했다. 0일에 비해 7일에서 산성 식염수 모델은 기계적 과통각을 나타냈다(p<0.05). OPC 300 mg/kg를 복강내 주사한 그룹에서 강력한 항통각 효과를 나타냈다(주사측 발바닥, p=0.001; 반대측 발바닥, p=0.002). 면역조직화학 염색상 복강내 식염수를 처치한 대조군에 비해 OPC 처치군에서 대뇌의 M1 및 M2 영역에서 산-감지 이온 통로3의 발현이 감소되었다(p<0.05). 사람의 섬유근통에서 OPC 치료의 효과를 보기 위한 연구가 향후 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to present the epidemiological data on patients with a stroke admitted to Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion, Oriental Medical Hospital Kyung Hee University and to investigate the difference between preceding diseases of stroke. Methods : We reviewed medical records of 700 patients with a stroke admitted to Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion, Oriental Medical Hospital, Kyung Hee University. Results: The incidence of cerebral infarction was 6.7 times that of cerebral hemorrhage. The incidence in males was 1.28 times of that in females. The incidence of stroke increased with aging and more cerebral hemorrhage occured in lower age group than cerebral infarction. There was higher morbidity in October, during the changing of the seasons, than any other months. Hypertension was the most common preceding disease followed by diabetis mellitus, heart disease, hyperlipidemia, and according to Odds's ratio for Male/Female, the probability of having preceding diseases was higher in females than males. In cerebral infarction, MCA territory was the most frequent lesion sites. Of the cerebral hemorrhage, basal ganglia (60%) was the most commonly involved site which was followed by thalamus(33.3%), cortex (3.3%) and subcortex (2.2%). The most common symptom accompanied by stroke was motor dysfunction which was followed by verbal disturbance, urination disorder and dysphagia. Conclusion : This study showed the trends of stroke in Oriental medical center. We expects that Multicenter cooperative and prospective study including Oriental Medicine will be inspired by this study for establishing more accurate chacteristics of stroke in Korea in the future.

Purpose: This study was done to identify whether pre-conditioning exercise has neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia, through enhance brain microvascular integrity. Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: 1) Normal (n=10); 2) Exercise (n=10); 3) Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo), n=10); 4) Exercise+MCAo (n= 10). Both exercise groups ran on a treadmill at a speed of 15 m/min, 30 min/day for 4 weeks, then, MCAo was performed for 90 min. Brain infarction was measured by Nissl staining. Examination of the remaining neuronal cell after MCAo, and microvascular protein expression on the motor cortex, showed the expression of Neuronal Nuclei (NeuN), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) & laminin. Results: After 48 hr of MCAo, the infarct volume was significantly reduced in the Ex+MCAo group ($15.6{\pm}2.7%$) compared to the MCAo group ($44.9{\pm}3.8%$) (p<.05), and many neuronal cells were detected in the Ex+ MCAo group ($70.8{\pm}3.9%$) compared to the MCAo group ($43.4{\pm}5.1%$) (p<.05). The immunoreactivity of laminin, as a marker of microvessels and Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were intensively increased in the Ex+MCAo group compared to the MCAo group. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the neuroprotective effects of exercise pre-conditioning reduce ischemic brain injury through strengthening the microvascular integrity after cerebral ischemia.

뇌와 근육은 상의 하달식 구조로 상지 운동 수행 과정에서 뇌파와 근전도 신호의 변화와 함께 기능적 연결성이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 상지 운동을 수행하였을 때의 뇌파와 근전도 신호에 대해 코히어런스 방법을 적용하여 운동 의도 여부에 따른 뇌와 근육간의 연결성 차이를 규명하고자 한다. 상지 운동을 수행하는 과정에서 운동 피질 영역의 뇌파는 뮤 리듬(mu rhythm, 8~14 Hz)과 베타 리듬(beta rhythm, 15~30 Hz)에서 활성화 되며, 근전도 신호는 베타 리듬과 파이퍼 리듬(piper rhythm, 30~60 Hz)에서 활성화 된다. 뇌파와 근전도 신호간의 코히어런스 분석 결과 운동 의도를 포함한 능동 운동 수행 시 수동 운동을 수행하였을 때 보다 유의미한 차이로 높은 코히어런스 계수가 확인되었다. 이는 인지적 반응과 근육의 움직임 사이의 코히어런스 관계로 운동 의도가 포함된 상지 운동 수행 과정에서의 뇌와 근육간의 연결성을 해석할 수 있었다. 운동 의도에 따른 뇌-근육간의 코히어런스 특징을 이용한다면 재활기기 사용자의 운동 의도에 따라 피드백이 필요한 재활 훈련 시스템 설계에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

X 연관 부신백질이영양증(adrenoleukodystrophy, ALD)은 과산화소체베타산화과정(peroxisomal ${\beta}$-oxidation)의 장애로 매우긴사슬지방산(very long chain fatty acids, VLCFA)이 신경계의 백질과 부신피질 및 고환에 축척된다. 이 질환은 과산화소체막단백질(peroxisomal membrane protein)을 형성하는 Xq28에 위치하는 ATP-binding cassette, subfamily D, member 1 (ABCD1) 유전자 돌연변이에 의해 주로 발생한다. X 연관 ALD는 다양한 임상양상을 보이는데 전형적인 소아대뇌형 부신백질이영양증은 10세 이전의 남아에서 대뇌백질에 빠르게 진행하는 탈수초현상을 보인다. 8세 된 남자 환아로 정상발달과정을 보이던 중 초등학교 입학 후에 집중장애와 산만한 모습으로 인해 주의력결핍과다활동장애로 진단받고 치료를 받았었다. 환아는 내원 8개월 전부터 말이 어눌해 지고 걸을 때 오른 발을 끌며 자주 넘어지는 모습을 보여 내원하였고 오른쪽 상, 하지의 근력이 떨어지는 양상이 관찰되었다. 검사상 부신기능저하증 소견을 보였으며 혈청 지방산 분석검사에서는 C26:0, C42:0/C22:0, C26:0/C22:0가 증가하였다. 뇌 자기공명영상에서는 T2와 FLAIR 강조영상에서 양측의 두정후두부의 백질과 소뇌의 백질에서 대칭적으로 고신호강도를 보였다. 환아는 부신백질이영양증로 진단하였고 ABCD1 유전자 분석 검사에서 새로운 c.983delT (p.Met329CysfsX7) 돌연변이가 확인되었다. X 연관 ALD는 유전자형과 표현형에 연관성이 없으며 다양한 임상양상을 보이기 때문에 환자들마다 임상증상을 잘 관찰해야 하며 향후 유전자 기능을 좀 더 파악하고 임상증상에 영향을 주는 다른 요소에 대한 연구가 필요할 것이라 사료된다.

The purpose of this morphological studies was to investigate the relation to the meridian, acupoint and nerve. The common locations of the spinal cord and brain projecting to the the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve were observed following injection of transsynaptic neurotropic virus, pseudorabies virus(PRV), into the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve of the rabbit. After survival times of 96 hours following injection of PRV, the thirty rabbits were perfused, and their spinal cord and brain were frozen sectioned($30{\mu}m$). These sections were stained by PRV immunohistochemical staining method, and observed with light microscope. The results were as follows: 1. In spinal cord, PRV labeled neurons projecting to the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve were founded in thoracic, lumbar and sacral spinal segments. Densely labeled areas of each spinal cord segment were founded in lamina V, VII, X, intermediolateral nucleus and dorsal nucleus. 2. In medulla oblongata, The PRV labeled neurons projecting to the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve were founded in the A1 noradrenalin cells/C1 adrenalin cells/caudoventrolateral reticular nucleus, rostroventrolateral reticular nucleus, medullary reticular nucleus, dorsal motor nucleus of vagus nerve, nucleus tractus solitarius, raphe obscurus nucleus, raphe pallidus nucleus, raphe magnus nucleus, gigantocellular nucleus, lateral paragigantocellular nucleus, principal sensory trigeminal nucleus and spinal trigeminal nucleus. 3. In Pons, PRV labeled neurons were parabrachial nucleus, Kolliker-Fuse nucleus and cochlear nucleus. 4. In midbrain, PRV labeled neurons were founded in central gray matter and substantia nigra. 5. In diencephalon, PRV labeled neurons were founded in lateral hypothalamic nucleus, suprachiasmatic nucleus and paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus. 6. In cerebral cortex, PRV labeled neuron were founded in hind limb area.This results suggest that PRV labeled common areas of the spinal cord projecting to the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve may be first-order neurons related to the somatic sensory, viscero-somatic sensory and symapathetic preganglionic neurons, and PRV labeled common area of the brain may be first, second and third-order neurons response to the movement of smooth muscle in gallbladder and blood vessels.These PRV labeled neurons may be central autonomic center related to the integration and modulation of reflex control linked to the sensory system monitoring the internal environment, including both visceral sensation and various chemical and physical qualities of the bloodstream. The present morphological results provide that gallbladder meridian and acupoint may be related to the central autonomic pathways.

This experimental studies was to investigate the location of PNS and CNS labeled neurons following injection of 2% WGA-HRP and pseudorabies virus (PRY), Bartha strain, into the ductus deferens of rats. After survival times 4-5 days following injection of 2% WGA-HRP and PRV, the rats were perfused, and their brain, spinal cord, sympathetic ganglia and spinal ganglia were frozen sectioned ($30{\mu}m$). These sections were stained by HRP histochemical and PRY inummohistochemical staining methods, and observed with light microscope. The results were as follows ; 1. The location of sympathetic ganglia projecting to the ductus deferens were observed in pelvic ganglion, inferior mesenteric ganglion and L1-6 lwnbar sympathetic ganglia. 2. The location of spinal ganglia projecting to the ductus deferens were observed in T13-L6 spinal ganglia. 3. The PRY labeled neurons projecting to the ductus deferens were observed in lateral spinal nucleus, lamina I, II and X of cervical segments. In thoracic segments, PRY labeled neurons were observed in dorsomedial part of lamina I, II and III, and dorsolateral part of lamina IV and V. Densely labeled neurons were observed in intermediolateral nucleus. In first lumbar segment, labeled neurons were observed in intermediolateral nucleus and dorsal commisural nucleus. In sixth lumbar segment and sacral segments, dense labeled neurons were observed in sacral parasympathetic nuc., lamina IX and X. 4. In the medulla oblongata, PRV labeled neurons projecting to the ductus deferens were observed in the trigeminal spinal nuc., A1 noradrenalin cells/C1 adrenalin cells/caudoventrolateral reticular nuc., rostroventrolateral reticular nuc., area postrema, nuc. tractus solitarius, raphe obscurus nuc., raphe pallidus nuc., raphe magnus nuc., parapyramidal nuc., lateral reticular nuc., gigantocellular reticular nuc.. 5. In the pons, PRV labeled neurons projecting to the ductus deferens were ohserved in parabrachial nuc., Kolliker-Fuse nuc., locus cooruleus, subcooruleus nuc. and AS noradrenalin cells. 6. In midbrain, PRV labeled neurons projecting to the ductus deferens were observed in periaqueductal gray substance, substantia nigra and dorsal raphe nuc.. 7. In the diencephalon, PRV labeled neurons projecting to the ductus deferens were observed in paraventricular hypahalamic nuc., lateral hypothalamic nuc., retrochiasmatic nuc. and ventromedial hypothalamic nuc.. 8. In cerebrum, PRV labeled neurons projecting to the ductus deferens were observed in area 1 of parietal cortex. These results suggest that WGA-HRP labeled neurons of the spinal cord projecting to the rat ductus deferens might be the first-order neurons related to the viscero-somatic sensory and sympathetic postganglionic neurons, and PRV labeled neurons of the brain and spinal cord may be the second and third-order neurons response to the movement of smooth muscles in ductus deferens. These PRV labeled neurons may be central autonomic center related to the integration and modulation of reflex control linked to the sensory and motor system monitaing the internal environment. These observations provide evidence for previously unknown projections from ductus deferens to spinal cord and brain which may be play an important neuroanatornical basic evidence in the regulation of ductus deferens function.
