The trigger point phenomenon is an extremely common syndrome in physical therapy room. The symptoms created by these syndromes may be interpreted as originating in discogneic disease, nerve entrapment syndromes, viscerosomatic pain, and certain myalgic pain of unknown etiology. Injuries, viral or bacterial infections, immobilization, psychogenic stress, and other environment factors can preciptate and perpetuate these syndromes, which may occur in any of the voluntary muscles of the human body and thus lead to a multitude of myofascial pain syndromes. Obviously symptomatic treatment can meet with only partial success. Knowledge of the trigger point phenomenon will aid the diagnostician in understanding otherwise in explicable symptom. The trigger point are $2{\sim}5mm$ in diameter, hyperirritable palpable taut in a tissue, when compressed, is locally tender, if sufficiently hypersensitive, give rise to referred pain and tenderness, and sometimes to referred automatic phenomena and distortion of proprioception. The treatment of myofascial trigger point pain syndrome is not difficult once the source of the problem has been determined. Where as many modalities may be used, two of the most effective are spray-and stretch and TP injection. These can be followed by deep massage, specific, manual resistive exercise, and an exercise program which the patient can follow at home. The goal of management is to inactivate the TPs and to restore shortened and stretch resistent muscles to their full range of motion. The purpose of this case study was to know about the pathophysiologic mechanism of the trigger point and will enable to physical therapist to direct his treatment to the real source of trouble.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the influencing factors on presenteeism of nurses in Korea and Japan. Methods: The subjects were hospital nurses in Korea and Japan. Data of 1,618 nurses were collected from September 2007 to March 2008 by structured questionnaires. The response rate of subjects was 93.0% in Korea and 76.9% in Japan. The data was analyzed using SPSS 12.0 package. Results: The three major health problems of Korean nurses were 'shoulder, back and neck pain', 'fatigue or edema of foot' and 'gastrointestinal trouble'. The three major health problems of Japanese nurses were 'shoulder, back and neck pain', 'fatigue or edema of foot' and 'depression or anxiety'. 'Depression or anxiety' were considered the highest cause of presenteeism by nurses in both countries. The number of health problems was the most influencing factor on presenteeism by nurses in both Korea and Japan. Conclusions: These results imply that clinical nurses have a higher level of presenteeism. Therefore, administrators need to use job-related safety and health strategies to manage the presenteeism of nurses. It is desirable that those strategies will be specifically applied to gastrointestinal trouble management for Korean nurses and to depression management for Japanese nurses.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the radiographic images of Temporomandibular joint trouble patients. This study included 186 patients with the chief complaints of TMJ pain and dysfunction. Their age ranged from 17 to 68 years. All patients were identified in the department of Dental mary of College of Dentistry, Seoul National University, Apr. 1978 to Jun. 1979. The author has observed the radiographic variations of two positions of condylar head taken by modified transcranial oblique-lateral projection, which are one in centric occlusion and the other in 1 inch(2.54㎝) mouth open. The results were obtained as follows; 1. In centric occlusion, the distances and positional relationship between the summit of condylar head and the deepest point of articular fossa revealed more or less large variations; Normal range is of 37.9%, anterior displacement of 37.3% and posterior displacement of 22.6%. 2. In the horizontal movement of condylar heads when on 1 inch mouth open, it was revealed that normalrange was of 46.5%, anterior displacement of 12.3%, posterior displacement of 41. 1 %. 3. In the positional interrelationship of both condylar heads when on 1 inch mouth open, it was revealed that symmetry(71. 5%) occurred approximately 2.5 times as many as asymmetry. 4. In both centric occlusion and 1 inch mouth open, it was showed that almost all estimated figures were greater in male than in female, and in the horizontal movement of condylar head when on 1 inch open, it was showed that hypermobility was dominant in male and hypomobility in female.

Osteoblasts, originating from mesenchymal cells, make the receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in order to control differentiation of activated osteoclasts, originating from hematopoietic stem cells. When the RANKL binds to the RANK of the pre-osteoclasts or mature osteoclasts, bone resorption increases. On the contrary, when OPG binds to the RANK, bone resorption decreases. Denosumab (AMG 162), like OPG (a decoy receptor), binds to the RANKL, and reduces binding between the RANK and the RANKL resulting in inhibition of osteoclastogenesis and reduction of bone resorption. Bisphosphonates (BPs), which bind to the bone mineral and occupy the site of resorption performed by activated osteoclasts, are still the drugs of choice to prevent and treat osteoporosis. The merits of denosumab are reversibility targeting the RANKL, lack of adverse gastrointestinal events, improved adherence due to convenient biannual subcutaneous administration, and potential use with impaired renal function. The known adverse reactions are musculoskeletal pain, increased infections with adverse dermatologic reactions, osteonecrosis of the jaw, hypersensitivity reaction, and hypocalcemia. Treatment with 60 mg of denosumab reduces the bone resorption marker, serum type 1 C-telopeptide, by 3 days, with maximum reduction occurring by 1 month. The mean time to maximum denosumab concentration is 10 days with a mean half-life of 25.4 days. In conclusion, the convenient biannual subcutaneous administration of 60 mg of denosumab can be considered as a first-line treatment for osteoporosis in cases of low compliance with BPs due to gastrointestinal trouble and impaired renal function.

What we want to report is the oriental medical treatment of eleven patients with lumbago. The patients had several features in common. First, the source of the lumbago was related to overdrinking or overeating, which is something like food damage(食傷) in oriental medicine. Second, they had symptoms of digestive trouble as well as lower back pain. Third, the R.O.M of lumbar spine was limited but there was no another special abnormality in physical examination. Fourth, singly they had muscular tenderness of Iliopsoas muscle and symptoms by Myofascial pain of Iliopsoas muscle was appeared. We assumed this sort of lumbago to be one due to retention of undigested food(食積) or damp-heat(濕熱) in oriental medicine, similar to Myofascial pain syndrome of Iliopsoas muscle in western counterpart. Acupuncture treatment was done to improve the digestive trobles according to oriental medical theory, and we saw the improvement in VAS score of lower back pain, degree of lumbar flexion, Iliopsoas muscle's tenderness and also digestive trobles. But an objective researches on the relation of lumbago due to retention of undigested food(食積) or damp-heat(濕熱) and myofascial pain syndrome of Iliopsoas muscle are quite lacking. However we think such a clinical approach could be useful in practices of oriental medicine increase in curative effect.
