목적: 양안으로 사물을 주시할 때 우세안을 주로 사용한다. 이러한 이유로 안경과 콘택트렌즈 처방 시 우세안의 중요성이 크다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 연령대별로 구분하여 양안에 있어서 굴절력의 변화에 따른 우세안과 비우세안의 시력 차이가 있는지 알아보았다. 방법: 안질환이 없는 186명을 대상으로 Hole-in-the-card test법을 통한 우세안을 검사하였다. 검사의 일관성을 위해 동일인이 측정하였으며, 검사의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 3회 반복 실시하였다. Spss통계를 통해 굴절력에 따른 우세안과 비우세안의 상관관계를 알아보았다. 결과: 대상자 186명 중 우안 우세안은 135명, 좌안 우세안은 51명이었다. 굴절이상 환경에 노출되기 시작하는 10세 이전(평균 $8.8{\pm}1.18$세)과 본격적으로 굴절이상이 발생하는 10세에서 20세 사이(평균 $14.1{\pm}2.58$세), 그리고 시력안정화 시기에 접근하는 20세 이후(평균 $51.8{\pm}17.51$) 모두 우세안의 시력이 비우세안보다 시력이 높았지만 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 근시성 난시에 있어서 우세안의 난시 굴절력 평균값이 비우세안 난시안의 평균값보다 작게 나타났으며, 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 나타내었다(p=0.017<0.05). 결론: 양안 중에서 전체적으로 난시도가 작고 균형 잡힌 눈이 우세안으로 선택될 확률이 높다고 판단된다.

Objective : This study is to propose a new hypothesis about the interpretation of Jueyinbing in Shanghanlun by studying 2 Jueyinbing cases. Methods : We analyzed the original form of the chinese characters 'Jue(厥)', 'Jueyin(厥陰)' and 'Huoluan(?亂)' and tried to understand their contexts in Shanghanlun. At the same time, we analyzed 2 clinical cases diagnosed and treated as Jueyinbing according to newly hypothesized definition. Results : Both patients suffered from eye diseases which caused by concentrating on a sophisticated work by straining their hands, feet and chest during the night time. After the herbal intervention, their eye diseases are improved firstly. The National Eye Institute 25-item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ) score increased on both patients. Not only all the patients' chief complaints relieved but their other clinical problems such as limb pain, hand tremble also improved. Conclusions : These results highly insist that, at least in 15 characters provision of Shanghanlun, Jueyinbing had had the different usage from the conventional terminology, and it is assumed that Jueyinbing means the disease made by concentrating on a sophisticated work by straining hands, feet and chest during night time.

A 4-year-old Chihuahua dog was referred for bilateral corneal ulcers. Slightly raised white fluorescein-positive plaque-like corneal lesions in both eyes appeared as intense hyperreflective areas with posterior shadowing on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Based on corneal cytology and culture, Candida albicans-induced fungal keratitis was diagnosed. Despite treatment, on OCT, endothelial plaques, increased stromal infiltration thickness, vertical shapes of the ulcer edge, and necrotic stromal space were judged to be aggravation of the disease, and surgery was performed. Conjunctival grafting surgery with topical 1% voriconazole effectively resolved fungal keratitis. OCT can provide detailed and objective information related to the disease prognosis.

Objectives: To review the concept of Moebius syndrome. Methods: Literature search was done to study definition, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical feature, and treatment of Moebius syndrome. Pubmed, RISS, Google scholarship and uptodate scholastic were used in the research. Search words were 'Moebius syndrome', 'treatment of Moebius syndrome'. Only English and Korean studies were assessed. Results: Moebius syndrome is rare disease characterized by nonprogressive congenital uni- or bi-lateral facial (VII cranial nerve) and abducens (VI cranial nerve) palsy. This facial palsy is found across the world, and its incidence is approximately 1 per 250,000. Moebius is diagnosed by clinical features. Facial palsy, eye abduction problem, limb deformities, global cerebral nerve impairment can be shown. Rehabilitation, smile surgery, and acupuncture can be used to treat this. Conclusion: Moebius syndrome's epidemiology, pathogenesis, treatment is still not fully revealed. It is known to be a congenital disease which didn't have exact treatment except surgery. But, it needs further study about exact treatment, diagnosis, and pathogenesis.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the interrelationship between eye movement and auditory function through the effects of eye lateralization on transient evoked otoacoustic emissions of auditory function. Methods : 25 subjects with complete set of ears were used in this study, which composed of 12 males and 13 females with pure tone threshold of below 25 dB without otolaryngology were evaluated. Each of the patient has a visual acuity of greater than 1.0 after correction, and has no problems with eye disease, eye movement, and human parallel system. In a dark silent room, the subjects sat on a chair with their heads fixed on a headrest. The tests were performed by asking the patients to look at a fixed red light dot on a light bar in front of them. This light was directed to the front, right and left sides of the subject at an angle of 40 ° In the presence of the stimulus sound in the ipsilateral ear, the transient evoked otoacoustic emissions of the ipsilateral ear was measured at the straight, right and left fixation. In order to evaluate the transient evoked otoacoustic emissions through the efferent auditory pathway, the transient evoked otoacoustic emission values of the contralateral ear were measured at the straight, right and left fixation. These measurements were taken at frequencies of 1 kHz, 1.4 kHz, 2.0 kHz, 2.8 kHz and 4 kHz, respectively. Results : Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions caused by lateral movement of the eye showed significant changes at 1.4 KHz and 2 KHz of the afferent pathway of the ipsilateral ear. Also, significant changes were observed at 1.4 KHz and 4 KHz of the efferent pathway of the contralateral ear. Conclusion : These results indicated that there is a close relationship between eye movement and auditory cochlea. In the future, further studies considering more diverse subjects and age groups will be needed.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the effects of auriculotherapy on reducing signs of dry eye syndrome. Methods: This study is based on a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. The participants who scored higher than 13 on the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) were divided randomly into two groups, the experimental group (n=45) and the control group (n=44). Auriculotherapy was performed by researchers for 2 weeks. For the experimental group, seed stickers were applied to the eye, liver, shenmen, and tubercle point of their ears. The pretest and the posttest included the same questionnaires of the OSDI as well as the Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ25) and the eye fatigue. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, $x^2$ test, t-test and paired t-test, using SAS 20.0 program. Results: The difference in the OSDI's scores showed a significant decrease between the pretest and the posttest (t=-4.12, p<.001) in the experimental group. No significant difference was found in the NEI-VFQ25 (t=-0.10, p=.921, t=-0.91 p=.374). However, the experimental group showed a significant decrease in eye fatigue (t=5.78, p<.001), whereas the control group showed no difference (t=1.38, p=.18). Conclusion: Auriculotherapy can be used effectively on relieving the symptoms of dry eye syndrome and eye fatigue. However, the quality of life related to eyes was not improved by auriculotherapy.

The purpose of this study is to figure out the relationship between the residence stories in high-rise condominium and residents' disease patterns throughout the dweller's medical reports. Research basic data are obtained from medical fee request of National Health Insurance Corporation. Data are limited to 'A' high-rise condominium and a medical treatment time to 3 years (2004. 1-2006, 12). Data for analysis are composed of total 346,286 medical records, 43,159 disease records, and 8,999 personal records. Data are stored by sex, age, building story, residence story, visiting year and month, treatment days, main disease type (KCD-4). Treatment number, disease type and asthma in disease records and personal records are statistically analyzed by residence story considering age. Findings are as follows: 1) Women have more medical treatments than men, 40-50 age group is more treated, and the residents of 6-25 stories are more received medical treatments. According to KCD-4, diseases of the respiratory system and diseases of the eye and adnexa are relatively treated higher than other diseases. 2) The diseases of he respiratory system, the eye and adnexa, the skin and subcutaneous issue, the ear and mastoid process, and the asthma have not relation to the high-storied residence through the data of disease records and personal records. But the analysis on the data of children, age 7 and less, showed a significant relation. to conclude, there is no relationship between the residence of high-stories in the condominium and residents' disease patterns, but there is a little probable to the relationship in the pre-school child.
