호흡조절 방사선치료는 호흡이나 장기의 움직임을 극복하기 위하여 환자의 호흡주기를 획득하여 종양조직에 처방선량을 부여하며 동시에 주위 정상조직에는 적은 방사선량을 부여하는 방법이다. ABCHES를 이용한 호흡조절 방사선 치료는 호흡을 얕은 호흡으로 유도하며 종양조직의 움직임을 최소화 하는데 도움을 줄 수 있는 부속 장비이다. 한편 복부 압박 기구는 환자의 복부에 압박을 실시함으로 호흡에 제한을 두는 치료보조용 기구이다. 본 논문에서는 ABCHES를 단독으로 사용한 것과 ABCHES와 복부압박 장비를 이용하여 간세포암 환자의 종양의 움직임을 정량적으로 분석하고 그에 해당하는 치료효과를 선량체적곡선으로 분석하려 하였다. ABCHES를 사용한 경우와 ABCHES와 복부압박기구를 동시에 사용한 경우를 비교해본 결과 상하 방향과 앞뒤 방향 그리고 좌우 향으로 각각 평균 1.0 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.2 mm 정도로 그 움직임을 제한 할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 체적 감소율 또한 ABCHES를 사용한 경우 HPTV와 LPTV가 체적의 변화율을 $16{\pm}2%$ 정도로 줄일 수 있었고, LPTV의 경우 $15.8{\pm}0.8%$의 체적을 제어할 수 있었다. 선량체적 곡선을 분석한 경우 ABCHES만을 사용한 경우보다 ABCHES와 복부압박 기구를 동시에 사용한 경우가 종양조직에는 처방선량에 가까운 선량값을 보였으며 정상조직인 동측 폐, 콩팥, 정상 간조직에는 보다 적은 선량이 부여된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 논문에 결과 ABCHES를 단독으로 사용하는 것보다 복부압박기구와 ABCHES를 동시에 사용한 경우가 종양 및 정상조직에 부여된 선량 기준에 적합하다고 판명 되었고, 향후 ABCHES와 복부압박 기구에 대한 제한점 즉, 복부의 압박강도에 따른 환자의 불편감, 호흡주기가 정확하지 않은 환자들에게 적용하여야 하는 방법 등이 추후에 논의 되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: Cases of male external genitalia lymphedema are relatively uncommon in the clinical physical therapy field. Of more than two thousand clinical cases treated by the author in the lymphedema treatment center, only 4~5 cases of male external genitalia lymphedema were encountered. The present case report presents the experience and treatment results of male external genitalia lymphedema from urological cancer. Method: This case was a 47-year-old man, who was treated with complex decongestive physical therapy consisting of manual lymph drainage, compression bandage (including the external genitalia), remedial exercise, skin care. Result: The results were relatively good. The clinical experience would suggest that early treatment and education can reduce the external genitalia lymphedema. However, the treatment efficacy remains limited. Therefore, early treatment is vital for more successful outcomes. Conclusion: The relief of symptoms and a decrease in male external genitalia lymphedema may be the best result from long-term conservative management.

This review examined and analyzed clinical research trends in the treatment of compression fractures in traditional Korean medicine using case studies. Accordingly, 5 web databases were searched using relevant Korean and English terms. Based on predefined exclusion and inclusion criteria, 16 case studies were selected, analyzed, and classified according to the journal, publication year, participants, chief complaints, affected vertebrae, treatment and evaluation methods, and improvement. The case studies reported various treatment methods, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, physical therapy, cupping, moxibustion, and band training. All 16 case studies reported the use of combination therapy. All 23 cases reported in these case studies demonstrated improvement in chief complaints, and none reported any side effects.

With the progress of image-guided localization, body immobilization system, and computerized delivery of intensity-modulated radiation delivery, it became possible to perform spine radiosurgery. The next question is how to translate the high technology treatment to the clinical application. Clinical trials have been performed to demonstrate the feasibility of spine radiosurgery and efficacy of the treatment in the setting of spine metastasis, leading to the randomized trials by a cooperative group. Radiosurgery has also demonstrated its efficacy to decompress the spinal cord compression in selected group of patients. The experience indicates that spine radiosurgery has a potential to change the clinical practice in the management of spine metastasis and spinal cord compression.

일반적으로 척추기형에 의한 기계적인 기도협착 환자의 경우 척추기형을 교정함으로써 증상을 완화시킬 수 있다. 그러나 흉곽기형의 원인이 되는 척추기형이 너무 심하여 교정이 어려울 경우에는 심한 기도협착으로 인해 호흡부전을 유발하고 치명적인 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 본 교실에서는 교정이 불가능할 정도의 심한 척추기형으로 인한 기도협착 환자에서 흉벽거상술을 통해 비교적 좋은 성적을 얻었기에 이에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Multiple myeloma, a multicentric hematological malignancy, is the most common primary tumor of the spine. As epidural myeloma causing spinal cord compression is a rare condition, its therapeutic approach and clinical results have been reported to be diverse, and no clear guidelines for therapeutic decision have been established. Three patients presented with progressive paraplegia and sensory disturbance. Image and serological studies revealed multiple myeloma and spinal cord compression caused by epidural myeloma. Emergency radiotherapy and steroid therapy were performed in all three cases. However, their clinical courses and results were distinctly different. Following review of our cases and the related literature, we suggest a systematic therapeutic approach for these patients to achieve better clinical results.

This study was introduce to Manual Mobilization of the Extremity Joints of Freddy M. Kaltenborn(1989). Much of Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of joint and related soft tissue disorders and one of the primary treatment methods is mobilization. When examination reveals joint dysfunction, especially decreased range of motion, joint mobilization techniques are often utilized. Kaltenborn's joint mobilization techniques are performed as passive examination or treatment movements by the therapist. There are three basic joint play movements: (1) traction, (2) compression, and (3) translatoric gliding. The purpose of joint mobilization is to restore normal, painless joint function. Mechanically, the goal is to restore joint play and thus normalize roll-gliding which occurs during active movements.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of fascia chuna therapy in the treatment of piriformis syndrome. Methods A literature search was conducted using 8 databases to identify all randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) that investigated fascia chuna therapy as a treatment for piriformis syndrome. The selected studies are analyzed the risk of bias through Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results Among 37 articles that were searched, 3 RCTs met our inclusion criteria and were included in this analysis. These studies demonstrated positive results of Fascia Chuna Therapy with respect to the reduction of pain scale and functional scale compared with other treatment methods. Conclusions Based on results, fascia chuna therapy could be effective in piriformis syndrome. However there are limitations that the number of selected studies was small and risk of bias was unclear. More well-designed RCTs are required to provide clearer evidence.

Thoracic outlet syndrome is very rare thoracic surgical neurovascular disorder which is subject to compression by bones and muscular structures impinging upon the subclavian artery, vein k brachial plexus. The operative therapy is applied to remove the anatomical abnormal structures which leads to the compression to develop symptoms. We have operated one patient with thoracic outlet syndrome by excision of cervical ribs & first ribs with using transaxillary & posterior parascapular approaches in the thoracic surgical department, Yonsei University College of medicine, The post-operative courses has been uneventful for 7 months to now.

Objectives : The Purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of traditional Korean herbal therapy to a patient with thoraco-lumbar compression fracture. Methods : The patient who had sudden low back pain, back pain and ambulation disorder due to pain caused by an accidental fall, we prescribed Doinseunggi-tang (Taorenchenqi-tang) for her with acupuncture therapy. And we adopted several scales to estimate to progress of her symptoms. Results : Soon after taking herbal medication with other treatments, the patients pain was controlled and was able to ambulation without pain. Conclusions : In this case, we assume that Doinseunggi-tang(Taorenchenqi-tang) play an important role in improvement of the patient's symptoms. So, the present results suggest that traditional Korean herbal therapy has the positive effect to reduce the pain and shortening the period of treatment.
