The purpose of this study was to identify the differences of the static and the dynamic balance reactions in the flexion syndrome (FS) and the extension syndrome (ES) group of the patients with chronic lowback pain (LBP) and healthy subjects. Twenty subjects were included in each group. By using EquiTest 5.02, the static balance was measured by the equilibrium score and the strategy score of sensory organization test (SOT), while the dynamic balance was measured by the latency of motor control test (MCT) and the sway energy of adaptation test (ADT). Oswestry Disability Index (OSI) was used to measure level of the disability in patients with chronic LBP. The equilibrium scores, the strategies of SOT, and thelatencies of MCT of three groups were compared with one way ANOVA, while the sway energy of ADT was compared with repeated measures one way ANOVA. The results of this study showed that the equilibrium scores and the strategy scores of SOT were significantly lower in patients with chronic LBP than in healthy subjects. The equilibrium scores and the strategy scores of SOT were significantly differences between the FS and ES groups in condition 5 (support surface was sway-referenced and visual information waseliminated by eye closure), and 6 (support surface was sway-referenced and visual information was altered by sway-referencing). The FS group showed delayed average reaction time at large posterior translation, however, the ES group showed delayed average reaction time at large anterior translation, Even though the sway energy of the patients with chronic LBP were greater than that of healthy subjects during the toe down (plantar flexion rotation), the values between the FS and ES groups didn't show any significant difference. The disability level showed highly correlation with the equilibrium score of the condition 5. As the results, the FS and ES groups divided by the their symptoms and signs in patients with chronic LBP showed different balance reaction. Therefore, more accurate evaluation and balance treatments are needed to focus on their symptoms and signs in patients with chronic LBP.

목 적 : 만성 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상과 음성증상의 호전이 인지기능에 어떤 영향을 끼치는 지를 알아보기 위함이다. 방 법：증상의 호전이 예상되는 활성기 정신분열병 환자 68명을 대상으로 입원 직후에 증상과 인지기능을 측정하고 6개월 약물치료 후 증상과 인지기능을 재차 측정하여 두 영역에서의 변화간의 연관성을 조사하였다. 또 약물치료에 의해 인지기능이 어느 수준까지 호전되는지를 알아보기 위하여 나이와 교육수준이 비슷한 정상 대조군 20명의 인지기능과도 비교하였다. 증상은 PANSS로 평가하였고, 인지기능은 고난도 지속수행검사를 이용한 지속적 주의력, 위스콘신 카드분류검사를 이용한 실행능력, 숫자 주의력을 이용한 주의 집중력, 그리고 레이 청각 언어성 학습검사를 이용한 언어성 기억과 학습 등을 측정하였다. 결 과：양성증상과 음성증상에서의 호전은 각 인지검사 점수의 변화에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았고, 인지검사 점수의 변화에서 증상의 호전으로 설명될 수 있는 정도는 미미하였다. 또 정신분열병의 활성기에 비하여 6개월 약물치료 때의 관해기때 주의력, 실행능력, 기억력 모두 유의한 호전을 보였지만, 나이와 교육수준이 비슷한 정상대조군과 비교 시는 여전히 유의한 결손을 보였다. 결 론：이러한 결과는 정신분열병에서 증상과 인지기능이 서로 다른 영역일 가능성을 시사하며, 나아가 정신분열병 치료에 있어 증상의 호전뿐 아니라 인지기능의 호전에도 초점을 두어야 할 필요성을 부각시킨다.

연구목적 본 연구는 틱장애 소아청소년들을 대상으로 틱증상 심각도, 전조 충동, 강박증상, 주의력결핍과잉행동 증상을 종단적으로 평가하여 틱장애의 임상적 특성을 알아보기 위해 시행하였다. 방 법 본 연구는 10-18세 소아청소년 26명을 대상으로 틱증상, 전조충동, 강박증상, ADHD 증상에 관한 척도를 2차례 반복 측정 하였다. 반복 측정 상관 분석(repeated measures correlation analysis)을 통해 척도간 상관관계를 확인하였고 선형 혼합 모형(linear mixed model)을 이용한 회귀 분석을 통해 척도간 인과관계를 확인하였다. 결 과 틱장애 소아청소년들에서 전조충동은 틱증상 정도, 강박증상 정도, 주의력결핍과잉행동 증상 정도와 각각 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였고 주의력결핍과잉행동 증상은 틱증상 심각도와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 강박장애를 공존질환으로 진단 받지 않은 틱장애 소아청소년들에서도 같았다. 또한 전조충동은 틱증상의 심각도에 유의한 양의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 이러한 결과는 틱장애 치료에 도움이 될 수 있으며 향후 발달 경로를 고려한 틱장애 연구에 활용될 수 있다.

Isolated sphenoid sinusitis is a rare disease in children, and its symptoms are often nonspecific and confusing. Rarely, severe headache can be the first or only symptom of isolated sphenoid sinusitis. New daily persistent headache (NDPH) is a form of chronic daily headache that may have features of both migraines and tension-type headaches. NDPH is difficult to diagnose and requires a multifaceted approach. Here, we report on a 10-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl who both presented with typical NDPH symptoms. These patients had no nasal symptoms or signs of infection. Neither nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs nor topiramate had any effect on the headaches. Their neurological and ophthalmological examinations were normal. The results of routine blood work, including thyroid function tests, inflammatory markers, complete blood count, tests for viral infection, and a metabolic panel, were normal. A brain magnetic resonance imaging scan showed isolated sphenoid sinusitis. Both patients' symptoms resolved completely after approximately 1 month of oral antibiotics for sinusitis.

Liver cirrhosis is caused by virus, alcohol, toxins, drugs and chronic hepatitis. Clinical symptoms of liver cirrhosis are severe fatigue, nausea, fever, dyspepsia, anorexia, RUQ pain, jaundice, ascites. We applied oriental medicines to patient who had chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Sodalgeonbitang-gamibang has been used to treat hepatitis and liver cirrhosis because of its beneficial effects. The patient symptoms began to improve after about one month of treatment. After medication we could find remarkable effect on clinical symptoms and blood test. So we hope that this clinical study is helpful in treat a patient with hepatic disease.

Chronic fatigue syndrome is an agonizing illness that impedes the quality of life of people worldwide. Although this syndrome is reported to be increasing in industrialized countries, there are as yet no effective therapies. In the view of Oriental medicine, chronic fatigue syndrome is thought to result from a state of unbalanced inter-organ functions, or a condition of deficiency in the qi or blood characteristics. On the other hand, chronic fatigue-related symptoms are one of the most common complaints of patients using complementary and alternative medicine. This study aimed to theoretically analyze chronic fatigue syndrome from an Oriental medicine point of view, so to help Oriental doctors to design appropriate therapeutic models.

Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries sustained during athletic activities and daily life. Acute ankle sprain is usually managed conservatively with functional rehabilitation but the failure of conservative treatment leads to the development of chronic ankle instability. The development of repetitive ankle sprains and persistent symptoms after injury has been termed chronic ankle instability. Acute ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability require a careful evaluation to detect other comorbidities, such as subtalar instability, osteochondral defect, peroneal tendinopathy, tarsal coalition, os trigonum, flexor hallucis longus tendinitis, calcaneus anterior process fracture, and neural injuries. For the successful treatment of acute ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability, the treatment of comorbidity lesions should be performed first.

Two cases of chronic sinusitis with asthma were treated by Socheongryong-tang for 8 weeks in Respiratory System Division, Department of Internal Medicine of Kyunghee Oriental Medical Center. Socheongryong-tang is herbal decoction that has been used as the traditional therapeutic agent for asthma. The author has observed two cases of chronic sinusitis with asthma. Treatment with Socheongryong-tang for 8 weeks didn't result in significant change in the symptoms of asthma, but chronic sinusitis improved without any side effects. This study suggests that Socheongryong-tang is an effective herbal decoction in the treatment of chronic sinusitis. Obviously, further research concerning this is still necessary.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe how the rural elderly cope with experiences in multiple chronic diseases. Method: Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interview using ethnography. The participants were 9 women and 2 men who aged over 65, were living in rural community, and had experienced two or more chronic diseases. Results: According to the results of this study, those who had experienced multiple chronic diseases went through the stages of 'recognizing of revealed symptoms', 'discovering of disease', 'overcoming', 'neglecting', 'discovering another disease', 'being frustrated' and 'living with suffering'. Conclusion: The results of this study are expected to be utilized as basic materials to develop a nursing intervention program for effective management of chronic diseases.
