Diadochokinetic (DDK) speech task has been utilized as an evaluating tool for speakers with dysarthria for many years. This study attempted to differently diagnose multiple system atrophy (MSA) from idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) using patients' performance of DDK (i.e., alternate motion rate (AMR)). The subjects included 11 cases of pathologically confirmed MSA and 16 IPD patients who commonly presented with parkinsonian syndrome. The speech sample of each patient was analyzed acoustically using the MSPTM(Motor Speech Profile, a module of CSL). The results showed that the average DDK rate was significantly faster in the IPD than the MSA groups in all three syllables (i.e., /puh/, /tuh/. and /kuh/). We propose the average DDK rate variable as a core clinical trait in differentiating the two pathological conditions.

In this paper, an integrated chaos analysis system for EEG (ICASE) is designed for the analysis of brain functions based on the chaos theory. Nonlinear dynamic characteristics of EEG such as 3-D attractor, Poincare section, correlation dimension, Lyapunov exponents and power spectrum are extracted by this system. The results show that chaotic attractors which indicate the presence of deterministic, dynamics of complex nature could be identified from a routine EEG recording for normal and pathological activity. This proves that the chaotic analysis of EEG may be an appropriate tool in the classification of brain activity and thus a possible diagnostic tool.

Red ginseng powder was administered at a dose of 2.7 g per day for 3 months to 21 diabetic patients who were under the treatment with insulin. It was found that the ginseng powder was effective to 12 patients and ineffective to 9 patients. Based on these clinical results, experiments were carried out to elucidate factors which concerned with improvement of pathological conditions of diabetes mellitus. In the previous symposium, we reported that red ginseng powder contained an anti-lipolytic peptide, or an insulin-like peptide. In the course of purification of the insulin-like peptide in the ginseng, we found another fraction which possessed anti-lipolytic activity. The anti-lipolytic factor of the fraction was purified by gel filtration on Bio Gel P-2 column and Dowex $50W{\times}4$ column chromatography. The character of the finally purified material was examined by thin-layer chromatography, high-speed liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. With these examinations, the active principle was indentified to be adenosine. Pharmacological significance of these insulin-like substances, the peptide and adenosine, was discussed.

The purpose of this investigation is to seek the concepts of the Nature and the Emotion in the Sasang Constitutional Medicine. The results summerized as following. 1. When feelings like joy, anger, sorrow and happiness are kept in heart this state is the Nature. When they are expressed this state is the Emotion. In this point Confucianism and the Sasang Constitutional Medicine are same each other. 2. The Nature and Emotion of Confucianism are the psychic concepts. But the Nature and Emotion of the Sasang Constitutional Medicine are the psychosomatic concepts. 3. QI(氣) of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, each of them share with qi(氣) of the Nature and Emotion. Qi(氣) of the Nature and Emotion directly influence the formation of Sasang Constitution, physiological and pathological state. As mentioned above, though the Nature and Emotion of the Sasang Constitutional Medicine come from Confucianism they are used the more opened conception.

Supracricoid partial laryngectomy (SCPL) has been performed in selected patients with transglottic carcinoma of larynx who are not amenable to classically conservative Partial laryngectomy. We have applied this procedure for the complete removal of carcinoma and the satisfactory recovery of function in 74 supraglottic laryngeal cancer Patient with thyroid cartilage invasion. The 65-year-old man with supraglottic squamous carcinoma with thyroid cartilage invasion (74 stage) was treated by SCPL with bilateral lateral neck dissection. The part of larynx and whole thyroid cartilage with tumor invasion was completely removed with covering thyrohyoid muscle and fascia. External perichondrium of the thyroid cartilage containing carcinoma was not exposed from the overlying muscle and fascia on postoperative pathological examination. We confirmed the invasion of thyroid cartilage histopathologically. Tumor was confined in the specimen and the safety margin was proved in all direction. Postoperative course and functional results were uneventful. SCPL can be applied in selected cases of locally advanced 74 laryngeal cancer.

Objective : We investigated the effects of BOM Gunbisoyeom-tang(Jianbixiaoyan-tang) Gamibang having prescribed clinically to patients with perennial allergic rhinitis. Methods : We prescribed BOM Gunbisoyeom-tang(Jianbixiaoyan-tang) Gamibang for 1 month to 77 patients visiting to KimKiJoon Orentalclinic BOM from January 1 to December 31, 2008 with perennial allergic rhinitis and analysised the questionnaire(symptom severity assessment) before and after treatment. Results : BOM Gunbisoyeom-tang(Jianbixiaoyan-tang) Gamibang improved significantly all nosal symptoms(sneezing, runny nose, congestion, itchy nose and postnasal drip), some non-nasal symptoms(eye and throat symptoms, headache and mental function) except chromic cough and ear symptoms and quality of life. Conclusion : BOM Gunbisoyeom-tang(Jianbixiaoyan-tang) Gamibang cured effectively patients with perennial allergic rhinitis by 1 month treatment but not perfectly. So further studies are needed for treatment duration and changes of pathological index before and after treatment.

The author experienced a failed ase of root resection which qas performed on the abnormal upper right lateral incisor. The patient was 16year old female. Clinically the effected tooth had neither a carious cavity nor periondontal diseases, ut, a fistula was present on the gum tissue near the root apex. The roentogenogram revealed a pathological area around the apex of the tooth. The results of failed apicoectomy lead to following conclusions. 1. The operated tooth was a case of dense invaginatus which had two pulp cavities and two canals seperated along their entire length. 2. It was the main cause of failure that the second pulp cavity and root canal were not obturated.

This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a few disinfectant on amputated pulps of domestic dogs. The materials employed for the purpose were zinc oxide eugenol paste, calcium hydroxide as control groups and guaiacol (1%, 5%, 10% by weight) added zinc oxide eugenol paste and formaldehyde (1%, 5%, 10% by weight) added calcium hydroxide as experimental groups. Following were the results obtained throngh histo-pathological examination. 1) In calcium hydroxide-formaldehyde groups, secondary dentin formation was observed in the 2 weeks, but the remaining pulp tissue was severely atrophied according to the concentration of formaldehyde and the time increased. 2) In zinc oxide eugenol-guaiacol groups, the first evidence of secondary dentin formation was observed in the 3 weeks. It seems that the concentration variety of guaiacol influenced very little to the potential ability of dentin formation. 3) Except 1% formaldehyde containing calcium hydroxide group, every group showed severe pulp degeneration. In all groups of zinc oxide eugenol-guaiacol cases revealed the tendency of recovery.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to analyze the seven passions in terms of physical vector, and to understand the point of actions and directions. The result of this study will help us understand the aspect that the seven passions result in obesity and contribute in finding effective treatments. Methods : The characters of each seven passions were identified according to ${\ulcorner}$Hwangjenaekyung-Huangdineijing${\lrcorner}$. Results and Conclusions : 1. Each of the seven passions differs individually in physical characters in terms of points of actions and directions. 2. As the vector points of each seven passion work closely to digestive metabolism, and if the directions of vector clash into normal physiology, huge effects on obesity can be brought about. 3. Obesity, as a pathological situation, can be approached by canceling out all the vector elements of the seven passions. Here, the vector elements are basically regarded as the sources of obesity. 4. Psychological models of obesity can be applied for prevention and treatment.

A total of 500 sera and lungs of slaughtered pigs were examined to investigate antibody titer, prevalence of pulmonary lesion, and interrelation among lung lesion score, type of pulmonary lesion and antibody titers by ELISA. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. The highest distribution of antibody titer was showed at 20 - 80 in M hyopneumoniae, 160-640 in P multocida type A and 160 - 640 in A pleuropneumoniae serotype 2 and 5. 2. The prevalence of pulmonary lesions was 84.0%, mean pulmonary lesion and mean lung score listed as 24.0$\pm$19.8% and 2.5$\pm$1.6, respectively. 3. In the prevalence of type of pulmonary lesion, enzootic pneumonia, pleuropneumonia and pleuritis were 58.2%, 10.0% and 15.8%, respectively. 4. Lung lesion score and type of pulmonary lesion were not interrelated with the distribution of antibody titer to specific pathogens, and causative pathogens of respiratory diseases were complicated with various bacteria.
