Clinical study on the 114 facial paralysis patients, visited Won Kwang University Oriental Medical Hospital in Kwang ju from July 1990 to Jun 1991, was carried out. The results obtained are as follows. 1. Prevalence was almost same in both sexes and high in the age of 3 and 4 decades but distributed in an age group. 2. Majority of the patients were nomotensive, which meant blood pressure did not affect the incidence. 3. The incidence distributed in every occupations but high in housewife as 37 cases ($32\%$) and decreased gradually in office employee, labor worker, student and merchant in order. 4. Overwork, wind and cold, emotional stress, and numerous implicated agents were etiological factor. 5. The paralysis mostly occured in summer and winter as 40($35\%$) and 37 cases($32\%$) respectively, 18($16\%$) and 19cases($17\%$) were recorded respectively in spring and autumn. 6. The majority of patients showed only facial muscle paralysis without other complications, whose cure rate was $60\%$ (47 cases). The patients with auditory impairment or taste loss was less common and cure rate was low. 7. The number of the patients with migraine or mastoid pain was 81($71\%$), which was more than 33 patients($29\%$) with such pain. The cure rate was high in the patients without migraine than with migraine as a raito of 64 to $46\%$. 8. Most of duration from attack to admission were in a week as 86 cases($75\%$) and the patients with duration over 4 weeks 11 cases($10\%$). The cure rate of the patients in a week, was 54 cases($60\%$) and the patients over 4 weeks was none($0\%$), which meant shorter the duration was, the beter the result was. 9. Response on electro acupuncture on initiating therapy showed good in 39 cases($34\%$) the majority group, moderate in 37 cases, exellent in 29 cases and poor in 5 cases. 10. The results of treatment were as follows : asymptomatic in 58 cases($51\%$), improved n 40cases($35\%$), effective in 10 cases($9\%$) and ineffective in 6 cases($5\%$). 11. Cure rate according to the response on electro acupuncture showed $72\%$ in exellent group, $59\%$ in good group, $27\%$ in moderate groop, and $0\%$ in poor group. These show the better the response on the electro-acupuncture is, the higher the cure rate is, which will be able to indicate the prognosis of facial paralysis.

Myiasis is usually caused by flies of the Calliphoridae family, and Cochliomyia hominivorax is the etiological agent most frequently found in myiasis. The first case of myiasis in a diabetic foot of a 54-year-old male patient in Argentina is reported. The patient attended the hospital of the capital city of Tucum$\acute{a} $n Province for a consultation concerning an ulcer in his right foot, where the larval specimens were found. The identification of the immature larvae was based on their morphological characters, such as the cylindrical, segmented, white yellow-coloured body and tracheas with strong pigmentation. The larvae were removed, and the patient was treated with antibiotics. The larvae were reared until the adults were obtained. The adults were identified by the setose basal vein in the upper surface of the wing, denuded lower surface of the wing, short and reduced palps, and parafrontalia with black hairs outside the front row of setae. The main factor that favoured the development of myiasis is due to diabetes, which caused a loss of sensibility in the limb that resulted in late consultation. Moreover, the poor personal hygiene attracted the flies, and the foul-smelling discharge from the wound favoured the female's oviposition. There is a need to implement a program for prevention of myiasis, in which the population is made aware not only of the importance of good personal hygiene and home sanitation but also of the degree of implication of flies in the occurrence and development of this disease.

The development of preneoplastic and neoplastic squamous cell proliferations of body sites such as the skin, female lower genital tract, and larynx is strongly associated with specific types of human papillomaviruses (HPV). Antitumor $CD^{8+}$ cells recognize peptide antigens presented on the surface of tumor cells by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. The MHC class I molecule is a heterodimer composed of an integral membrane glycoprotein designated the alpha chain and a noncovalently associated, soluble protein called beta-2-microglobulin( $\beta$ -2-m). Loss of $\beta$-2-m generally eliminates antigen recognition by antitumor $CD^{8+}$ T cells. We evaluated the expression of $\beta$-2-m as a potential means of tumor escape from immune recognition and the presence of HPV DNA as a cause of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Laryngeal SCCs (n=39) were analyzed for MHC class I expression by immunohistochemistry and for presence of HPV by in situ hybridization technique. The results were as follows : 1) HPV DNA was detected in 10 (25.64%) out of 39 cases in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas. 2) MHC class I down-regulation (heterogenous and negative expression) in HPV positive lesions was higher than HPV negative lesions. 3) The expression of MHC class I was related to cellular differentiation regardless of T-stage and nodal involvement. In conclusion, HPV was thought to be the etiological factor of SCC of larynx, and we found that the down-regulation of MHC class I was a common phenomenon In laryngeal SCC and may provide a way for tumor cells to escape from immune surveillance.

섬유근통은 피로, 수면장애, 기분변화, 인지장애 및 만성 전신통증을 핵심 증상으로 하는 질환이다. 섬유근통은 유전적 취약성, 통증 처리과정 및 스트레스 반응 체계의 변화 등을 포함하는 생물학적 요인과 불안, 우울, 분노, 스트레스 등의 심리적 요인, 그리고 감염, 발열 질환, 외상 등의 환경적 요인이 함께 작용하여 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 핵심 병인으로 감각 자극이 인식되는 과정에서 증폭되어 통증이 증진되는 중추성 감작의 역할이 강조되고 있다. 가이드라인들은 개별 환자의 필요에 따라 선택된 다원적 접근을 권고하며, 임상의는 충분한 교육을 통해 지적 이해의 틀을 제공하고 자기 관리의 중요성을 강조해야 한다. 섬유근통에서 정신건강 문제의 유병률은 일반인구집단의 7~9배로 유의하게 높으며, 특정 정신병리 및 수면장애와의 관련성도 제기되고 있다. 정신과적 상태는 섬유근통과 양방향성 상호작용을 하며 경과에 영향을 주고, 취약성을 공유하며 서로의 위험 요인으로 작용할 수 있으므로, 동반질환을 면밀히 평가하여 보다 통합적인 관리가 필요할 것이다.

연구목적 : 장기적인 탈모증의 심리적 영향에 대해 알아보기 위해 탈모증을 겪는 여성 환자에서의 불안, 우울, 감정 표현불능증, 성격 특성에 대해서 알아보았으며, 더불어 유전적 생물학적 원인이 크게 작용하는 안드로겐성 탈모증과 정신적 스트레스의 병인론적 역할에 대한 논란이 있는 원형 탈모증간에 심리적 특성에서 차이가 있는지 알아보았다. 방법: 여성 탈모증 환자를 대상으로 최소 1년 이상 치료를 받고 있는 원형탈모증 환자군(52명)과 안드로겐성 탈모증 환자군(33명), 그리고 정상대조군(54명)에서 다면적 인성검사(MMPI), 벡 우울척도(BDI), 상태불안척도(STAI-S), 특성불안척도(STAI-T), 토론토 감정표현불능증척도(TAS-20K)를 시행하여 각 군간의 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 결과: MMPI 결과는 F척도, Hs척도, D척도, Pd척도, Pa척도, Sc척도, Si척도에서 탈모증 환자군이 정상대조군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높았고, Hy척도, Pt척도는 안드로겐성 탈모증 환자군에서 가장 높았다. BDI 점수, 상태불안척도, 특성불안척도에서 정상대조군에 비해 원형 탈모증과 안드로겐성 탈모증에서 점수가 높았으며, 특히 BDI 점수에서는 심한 우울증(23점 기준)에 해당하는 경우가 원형 탈모증 환자에서 94.2%(49명), 안드로겐 탈모증 환자의 97.0% (32명)로 나타났다. TAS-20K의 경우 총점에서는 환자군이 정상 대조군에 비해 유의하게 높았으며, Factor 3에서 안드로겐성 탈모증이 타 군에 비해 유의하게 높은 점수를 보였다. 또한 STAI-S 및 STAI-T에서도 환자군이 정상대조군에 비해 유의하게 높은 점수를 보였다. 결론: 여성 만성 탈모증 환자에서 우울감이 두드러지고 불안 수준이 높으며 감정표현불능증의 정도가 더 심한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 이러한 결과는 탈모의 병인론에 관련된 논란에도 불구하고, 두 종류의 탈모증에서 거의 모든 환자가 가지는 우울감에 대해서 적극적인 정신과적 개입이 필요하며, 환자의 성격적 측면과 심리적 대처기 전을 고려해야 함을 의미한다.

Background: Sperm DNA damage is underlying aetiology of poor implantation and pregnancy rates but also affects health of offspring and may also result in denovo mutations in germ line and post fertilization. This may result in complex diseases, polygenic disorders and childhood cancers. Childhood cancer like retinoblastoma (RB) is more prevalent in developing countries and the incidence of RB has increased more than three fold in India in the last decade. Recent studies have documented increased incidence of cancers in children born to fathers who consume alcohol in excess and tobacco or who were conceived by assisted conception. The aetiology of childhood cancer and increased disease burden in these children is lin ked to oxidative stress (OS) and oxidative DNA damage( ODD) in sperm of their fathers. Though several antioxidants are in use to combat oxidative stress, the effect of majority of these formulations on DNA is not known. Yoga and meditation cause significant decline in OS and ODD and aid in regulating OS levels such that reactive oxygen speues meditated signal transduction, gene expression and several other physiological functions are not disrupted. Thus, this study aimed to analyze sperm ODD as a possible etiological factor in childhood cancer and role of simple life style interventions like yoga and meditation in significantly decreasing seminal oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage and thereby decreasing incidence of childhood cancers. Materials and Methods: A total of 131 fathers of children with RB (non-familial sporadic heritable) and 50 controls (fathers of healthy children) were recruited at a tertiary center in India. Sperm parameters as per WHO 2010 guidelines and reactive oxygen species (ROS), DNA fragmentation index (DFI), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxy guanosine (8-OHdG) and telomere length were estimated at day 0, and after 3 and 6 months of intervention. We also examined the compliance with yoga and meditation practice and smoking status at each follow-up. Results: The seminal mean ROS levels (p<0.05), sperm DFI (p<0.001), 8-OHdG (p<0.01) levels were significantly higher in fathers of children with RB, as compared to controls and the relative mean telomere length in the sperm was shorter. Levels of ROS were significantly reduced in tobacco users (p<0.05) as well as in alcoholics (p<0.05) after intervention. DFI reduced significantly (p<0.05) after 6 months of yoga and meditation practice in all groups. The levels of oxidative DNA damage marker 8-OHdG were reduced significantly after 3 months (p<0.05) and 6 months (p<0.05) of practice. Conclusions: Our results suggest that OS and ODD DNA may contribute to the development of childhood cancer. This may be due to accumulation of oxidized mutagenic base 8OHdG, and elevated MDA levels which results in MDA dimers which are also mutagenic, aberrant methylation pattern, altered gene expression which affect cell proliferation and survival through activation of transcription factors. Increased mt DNA mutations and aberrant repair of mt and nuclear DNA due to highly truncatred DNA repair mechanisms all contribute to sperm genome hypermutability and persistant oxidative DNA damage. Oxidative stress is also associated with genome wide hypomethylation, telomere shortening and mitochondrial dysfunction leading to genome hypermutability and instability. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report decline in OS and ODD and improvement in sperm DNA integrity following adoption of meditation and yoga based life style modification.This may reduce disease burden in next generation and reduce incidence of childhood cancers.
