Objectives : Bell's palsy in an acute peripheral facial nerve paralysis that usually affects only one side of the face. The seventh cranial nerve carries predominantly motor fibers, but also supplies some autonomic innervation, sensation to park of the ear, and taste to the anterior two thirds of the tongue. The aim of this study is to provide evidence of differences between facial skin temperature of the paralyzed side and normal side in Bell's palsy patients. Methods : the author studied 68 patients with Bell's palsy whose facial nerve function had been documented by the House-Brackmann grading system. We measured skin temperature of the forehead, zygoma, lower lip, temple and lower jaw area of the paralyzed side and those of the normal side. Results : there were significant facial skin temperature differences between the forehead area of paralyzed side and that of normal side of GrII(P<0.05) and III(P<0.05). The result also showed that the facial skin temperature difference according to the aflection period vanished when air temperature was calibrated (F=1.700, P=0.178). Conclusions : Thermography is a useful diagnostic tool in Bell's palsy if the air temperature is low enough to cool the facial skin temperature and the forehead area is evaluated as the sampling zone.

The subject of Abdominal syndrome in the field of Jin Kui Yao Lue takes a quarter of the whole research quantity, and has greatly contributed to the development of diagnoses due to the well-growth of syndrome differentiation through 'the differentiation of symptoms and signs based on prescriptions'-centered abdominal syndrome. Since then, while the diagnostic has been developed mainly in the field of pulse feeling and the inspection of the tongue, application of the abdominal diagnostic has not been continuously improved because of special historical and social environments. Recently, since interest in the differentiation of symptoms and signs based on abdominal syndrome has been raised by emphasis of Oriental diagnostic methods and. medical treatment which have led to the study of Abdominal Syndrome in Jin Kui Yao Lue. The following is the results of the study. 1. Jin Kui Yao Lue abdominal syndrome is categorized into all abdominal symptoms Epigastric symptoms, Hypochondrium symptoms, and Lower abdomen symptoms. 2. Subjective symptoms and Objective symptoms have been found in Abdominal syndrome, and Subjective symptoms have been more often than Objective symptoms. Both of the symptoms have been found more to co-exist in abdominal syndromes. 3. More cases of fullness of abdomen symptoms in All abdominal symptoms, a smaller number of cases in Taiyang disease, Yangming disease, disease involving all three yang, Tayin disease and Jueyin disease have been found, but there have not been found in Shaoyin disease. 4. More cases of Epigastric fullness and rigidity in Epigastric symptoms, Epigastric throbs in Palpitation symptoms, and sense of fullness-in-chest in Abdominal syndrome of chest and hypochondrium have been recognized. 5. Any regularity caused by abdominal symptoms has not been identified. 6. Diagnosis of the abdomen caused by abdominal symptoms has been identified in Epigastric fullness, Epigastric pain, Epigastric procrastination, Epigastric throb, fullness of abdomen and distension of lower abdomen.

Objectives : This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the Oriental medical diagnosis and arteriosclerosis by measuring carotid-ankle vascular index(CAVI) in acute cerebral infarction patients. Method : One hundred thirty-one subjects were recruited from the patients admitted to the Internal Medical Department at Kyunghee University Oriental Medical Center from April 2007 to August 2008. We sorted cerebral infarction patients and assessed one hundred fourteen patients' CAVI data. We diagnosed dampness-phlegm by Oriental medical diagnosis and evaluated stroke type by single or multiple infarctions. then, we analyzed their characteristics with type of stroke, risk factor, lifestyle, metabolic syndrome and dampness-phlegm diagnosis. Result : 1. On the demographic variables of the patients, age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, multiple infarction group and metabolic syndrome and dampness-phlegm group were significantly higher in the high CAVI score group than in the control. 2. According to the significant difference in the dampness-phlegm group, we analyzed dampness-phlegm related index for pattern identifications by CAVI score. As a result, dark circles, insomnia, headache, white coating tongue. slippery pulse, and rough pulse were significantly higher in the high CAVI score group then in the control. 3. In multivariate analysis, age, hypertension, multiple infarction and dampness-phlegm groups showed a close relationship with the high CAVI score group. Conclusions : According to the analysis, significance between dampness-phlegm diagnosed patients group and high CAVI score were clarified. Moreover, multiple location infarctions also have a relationship with high CAVI score in cerebral infarction patients. These results can be utilized in the future as a basis material.

This Chapter mentioned Terror and Palpitation due to Fright(驚悸) and Hemorrhagic disease(血證). Terror and Palpitation due to FrightAcctually Terror(驚) is different from Palpitation(悸). Terror(驚) is one of the seven emotions. But in this case, It refer to the Palpitation and the uneasiness of mind due to one's hearing a strange sound of seeing a strange. Tremulous Pulse can be appear. So Terror(驚) is caused by Exopathic Factors(外因) and belongs to Excess syndrome(實證). Palpitaion(悸) is the sensation of plamus, palpitation and unrest not because of being frightened. It is usurally caused by the deficiency of Ki(氣) and blood(血). So Deep, Thready and weak pulse can be appear. So Palpitaion(悸) is caused by Endopathic Factors and belongs to Deficiency Syndrome. In this Chapter, Terror and Palpitation due to Fright(驚悸) treat with the Kyeji-ke-jakyak-ka-chokchil-moryu-yongkol-kuyuk-tang(桂枝去芍藥加蜀漆牡蠣龍骨救逆湯) and Banha-mahwang-hwan(半夏麻黃丸). There are two type in Hemorrhagic disease(血證). One is bleeding(出血) and another is blood stasis(瘀血). The contents which relate with the Hemorrhagic disease(血證) are Hematemisis(吐血), Rhinorrhagia, Hemafecia(下血). In hemorrhage pathological mechanisms, there are two mechanisms. One is that Fire and Heat(火熱) pressure blood. Another is that cold and deficiency(虛寒) disable Ki(氣) from keeping blood flowing within vessels. Blood stasis(瘀血) can be called Extravasated Blood(惡血), Coagulated Blood, Blood retention(蓄血,積血), Dead Blood(死血) and Emaciation due to Blood disorder(乾血). It refer to a morbid state of unsmooth circulation and blood stagnancy often resulting from Ki(氣) stagnation, Ki(氣) deficiency and accumulation of pathogenic coldness. The symptom of Blood stasis are 'Fullness sensation in the chest, Lip Flaccidity, Cyonotic Tongue and Dryness of Mouth'.
