  • Intervertebral disk disease is a common neurological disease in dogs. In veterinary neurology clinics, the incidence of intervertebral disk disease and the spinal cord compression rate of the disk are well documented. However, the direction of herniation of the intervertebral disk is relatively less known on Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Therefore, this study systematically investigated and analyzed the intervertebral disk disease in dogs. Especially, classification according to the direction of herniation of the disk, the degree of pre - treatment neurological manifestation, and the compression rate was investigated. In addition, the treatment methods of patients who received treatment after visiting the Chonbuk animal medical center (CAMC) were divided into pharmacological treatment and surgical treatment. The location of intervertebral disc in spinal canal was mainly ventral (69.9%), and when the prognosis was evaluated according to the compression rate of the spinal cord, the prognosis of the surgical treatment (72.7%) was more effective than the non - surgical medication (40.6%). Surgical treatment (83.3%) was more successful than nonsurgical medication (60%), especially in cases of severe spinal cord compression (> 50%). In this study, surgical treatment was more effective when the neurological symptoms were severe or the spinal cord compression rate was high.

  • Sciatic neuralgia has been considered as the symptom of herniated lumbar disk. but disk disease is not the only causes of sciatic neuralgia. Sciatic neuralgia uncombined with disk disease in thought to be a sign of myofascial syndrome of the piriform is muscle. Local anesthetic injection into piriform is muscle is recommended for the therapeutic treatment of sciatica without lumbago.

  • 본 논문에서는 척추 자기공명영상에 대하여 자동적으로 질환에 관련된 특징 벡터들을 추출하고 디스크 질환을 인식하는 방법을 제안하였다. 척추 자기공명영상은 절단면에 따라 시상 단면 영상과 축 단면 영상으로 나누어 진다. 두가지 영상에서 질환에 관련된 특징 벡터를 추출하여 질환의 유무와 종류를 인식하는데 사용하였다. 시상 단면 영상에서는 각 부위에 해당하는 영역의 동질성을 이용하여 디스크 부분을 추출한 후 영역레이블링 과정을 통해 전체적인 크기와 돌출 정도를 구해서 질환을 나타내는 특징으로 이용하였다. 축 단면 영상에서는 템플릿 정합을 이용하여 디스크 영역을 찾고 경계선을 추출하기 위해 세기와 방향성을 고려한 연산자를 사용했다. 경계선의 모양을 분석해서 디스크 돌출 정도에 관한 수치를 얻었다. 이렇게 얻은 특징벡터들은 유사한 질환을 가진 환자의 영상을 찾기 위한 의료 영상 데이터 베이스에 사용될 수 있으며, 많은 양의 영상에서 질환이 나타나 있는 것을 일차적으로 선별하여 전문의에게 제공하는데 이용될 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

  • We report the case of 57-year-old woman diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease and lumbar disk herniation (LDH). She had left leg weakness and foot numbness, foot deformity (muscle atrophy, high arch, and clawed toes). The lumbar spine MRI showed LDH at L4-5. Additionally, electrophysiology results were consistent with chronic peripheral motor-sensory polyneuropathy (axonopathy). In genetic testing, 17p11.2-p12 duplication/deletions characteristic of CMT disease were observed. We confirmed the patient's diagnosis as CMT disease and used conservative treatment.

  • 잎절편법을 이용하여 오이 흰가루병(Sphaerorheca fusca)에 대한 10개 품종의 저항성을 평가하였다 완전히 전개된 오이 잎에서 직경 10mm의 절편를 잘라내어 benzimidazole을 혼합한 한천배지에 올려놓고 포자현탁액을 10$\mu$l씩 절편에 점접종법으로 실험하였다. 흰가루병의 분생자경은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 가장 잘 형성되었다. 제1본엽의 disk를 이용하여 분생포자형성정도를 측정해 흰가루병에 대한 오이의 저항성을 평가한 결과와 하우스 포장에서의 발병도 결과간에 고도의 정의 상관을 보였다(r=0.99$^{**}$ ). 이 결과들을 통해 잎절편법을 이용하여 오이 식물체의 흰가루병(S. fusca)에 대한 저항성을 평가할 수 있었다.

  • Information about retinal blood vessels can be used in grading disease severity or as part of the process of automated diagnosis of diseases with ocular menifestations. In this paper, we address the problem of detecting retinal blood vessels and optic disk (papilla) in eye-fundus images. We introduce an algorithm for feature extraction based on Fuzzy Clustering algorithm (fuzzy c-means). A method of finding the optic disk (papilla) is proposed in the eye-fundus images. Additionally, the inrormations such as position and area of the optic disk are extracted. The results are compared to those obtained from other methods. The automatic detection of retinal blood vessels and optic disk in the eye-rundus images could help physicians in diagnosing ocular diseases.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze trends in domestic studies on pharmacopuncture therapy for treating cervical disease. Methods: This study was carried out on original copies and abstracts of theses listed in databases or published until July 2014. The search was made on the Oriental medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS) the National Digital Science Library (NDSL), and the Korean traditional knowledge portal. Search words were 'pain on cervical spine', 'cervical pain', 'ruptured cervical disk', 'cervical disc disorder', 'stiffness of the neck', 'cervical disk', 'whiplash injury', 'cervicalgia', 'posterior cervical pain', 'neck disability', 'Herniated Nucleus Pulposus (HNP)', and 'Herniated Intervertebral Disc (HIVD)'. Results: Twenty-five clinical theses related to pharmacopuncture were selected and were analyzed by year according to the type of pharmacopuncture used, the academic journal in which the publication appeared, and the effect of pharmacopuncture therapy. Conclusion: The significant conclusions are as follows: (1) Pharmacopunctures used for cervical pain were Bee venom pharmacopuncture, Carthami-flos pharmacopuncture, Scolopendra pharmacopuncture, Ouhyul pharmacopuncturen, Hwangryun pharmacopuncture, Corpus pharmacopuncture, Soyeom pharmacopuncture, Hwangryunhaedoktang pharmacopuncture, Shinbaro phamacopuncture. (2) Randomized controlled trials showed that pharmacopuncture therapy combined with other methods was more effective. (3) In the past, studies oriented toward Bee venom pharmacopuncture were actively pursued, but the number of studies on various other types of pharmacopuncture gradually began to increase. (4) For treating a patient with cervical pain, the type of pharmacopuncture to be used should be selected based on the cause of the disease and the patient's condition.
