  • Objectives : When sweating factor is excluded, to know the influence of acupuncture stimulation on electrical resistance. Methods : Regional anaesthesia(Lidocane 2%, 1ml, Subcutaneous injection) is applied to measured regions, 4cm round area including left Neiguan P6. So we can make adiaphoresis. Before and after acupucnture stimulation to Laogong P8, we measured the electrical resistance of anesthetized left Neiguan P6, anesthetized non-acupoint, normal left Ximen P4, and normal right Neiguan P6. For measurment, we use the 1.2V, DC system that has 100$k{\Omega}$ internal resistance Results : Under the adiaphoresis, Acupuncture stimulation makes the significant decrease of electrical resistance. In normal regions, so does it. Conclusions : When the acupuncture stimulation is applied to human boby, the decrease of electrical resistance is due not only to sweat secretion but also to other internal resistance.

  • Sweat gland cancer is very rare with a reported incidence of less than 0.005% of all tumor specimens resected surgically. Diagnosis and management of these cancers are difficult, due to the limited reports in the literature. Here we present a case of an eccrine adenocarcinoma in the retroauricular area and report this case with a review of the literature.

  • Ectodermal dysplasia is characterized by a partial or complete lack of primary and permanent teeth, other ectodermal structures that may be affected include the skin, hair, and sweat glands. The patient with the so-called anhidrotic type of ectodermal dysplasia exhibits dry skin, lack of sweat glands, sparse eyebrows, body hair, saddle nose, and everted lips. Genetic basis of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is recessive and sex-linked, being manifested chiefly in males, but this is debatable. A 6-year-old boy, with typical signs of anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, was presented. Prosthetic restoratoins are of great value to these patients, both from the standpoint of function and for psychologic reasons. The need for complete denture is critical during preschool periods and continues into adulthood. The following case report is an approach to the management of a patient with anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

  • The subject was a 70-year-old man who was suffering from productive cough after stroke. His symptoms were night cough, thick sputum production, reddened tongue and night sweat. The subject was diagnosed as having a deficiency of Yin, and was treated with Chungsangboha-tang(Qingshangbuxia-tang). A decrease in the severity of the subject's cough and sputum were observed, and $O_2$ saturation increased. In this case Chungsangboha-tang(Qingshangbuxia-tang) was effective on the patient with night cough, thick sputum production, reddened tongue and night sweat due to deficiency of Yin after stroke.

  • This case study was performed to investigate the effects of Chongsimyonja-tang and Dong's acupuncture therapy on senile macular degeneration patient who has been treated in the Dong-Eui oriental hospital. A 57-year-old female with senile macular degeneration complained of headaches, heaviness of the ache, night sweat, dizziness. For a duration of 2 months, We prescribed Chongsimyonja-tang, and added 3-4 herbs according to the symtoms and also treated the patient with Dong s acupuncture therapy. After 2 months, the patient's eyesight improved ($0.2{\rightarrow}0.7$) and the headaches disappeared, as did heaviness of the ache, night sweat, and dizziness. In this case Chongsimyonja-tang and Dong's acupuncture therapy present valuable treatment of senile macular degeneration.

  • Cholinergic urticaria with acquired generalized hypohidrosis, and its pathophysiology is not well known. Autoimmunity to sweat glands or to acetylcholine receptors on sweat glands has been mentioned as one of the possible etiologies. Systemic steroid therapy, antihistamines, anticholinergics, and avoidance of the stimulatory situations are recommended for treatment. We experienced a case of cholinergic urticaria with acquired generalized hypohidrosis in a patient who had no other associated disease, and the symptoms eased after repeated bilateral stellate ganglion block. Stellate ganglion block normalized the elevated sympathetic tone and may relieve symptoms in patients with this condition.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the suitability of several knit fabrics for the hadicapped children's slacks. After the observation and wearing test abrasion resistance pilling liquid water transport properties and heat transport properties of the fabrics were tested. As specimens cotton/polypropylene interlock knits and sweat absorbent polyester knit fabric were selected and compared to the cotton denim and wool fabrics. As a result of observation test importance of extensibility durability and comfort related properties were recognized. Through the wearing test depending on the handicap type and orthoses different location and grade of pilling were observed. Knit fabrics used in this experiment were as durable as woven fabrics and showed excellent heat and liquid water transport properties. It was concluded therefore that cotton/polypropylene and sweat absorbent polyester knit fabrics are suitable materials for handicapped children's slacks.

  • Objectives: This paper was for studying the features of perspiration according to Sasang constitution and to be helpful to make a diagnosis Sasang constitution. Using the result of this study, it will be helpful to diagnose a Sasang constitution. Methods: There were 504 patients(214 men and 290 women) who answered questionnaire and were diagnosed by the Sasang constitution specialist at constitutional clinic of Dongguk Bundang Oriental Hospital. Using the response of questionnaire and several statistical techniques, we tried to find the characteristics of each constitution depending on its sweat behaviors. Results: As a result of the analysis of questionnaire, Taeumin and Soyangin had, on the average, more sweat than Soeumin(p<0.01). In a view of feeling after sweating, Taeumin and Soyangin feels more fresh than Soeumin who feel tired(p<0.01).
