Purpose : The purposes of this study was to determine the effect of plyometric training and agility training on SEBT and dynamic balance of health young. Methods : Thirty healthy subjects in their 20s were randomly assigned to a plyometric exercise group, an agility training group, and a control group; each group had 10 subjects. The training starts first 2set after more 1set 2 weeks. SEBT is measured every two weeks. Results : The results of this research were as followings: (1) After treatment, there were significant SEBT scores differences in both plyometric and agility group compared with pre-treatment(p<0.05). (2) After treatment, there were significant SEBT scores differences in both agility and control group compared with pre-treatment (p<0.05). Conclusion : It was concluded that ployometric training was effective for improving balance than agility and control group. Therefore, further studies are required to investigate the effect of plyometric training for improving balance with sports injury patient.

A structured review study of drug interventions on sleep disorders in patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has not been published to date. This systematic review aimed to investigate drug interventions for the treatment of sleep disorders in children with ASD. The Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched until March 2019. Study quality was assessed using the Delphi checklist. Due to the heterogeneity of the findings, a meta-analysis was not possible. Drug interventions for the treatment of sleep disorders in patients with ASD included melatonin, atomoxetine, and risperidone. Atomoxetine had no effect on sleep disorders in patients with ASD. A total of 10 studies were reviewed. Melatonin appears to be useful for the treatment of sleep problems in patients with ASD, but further studies are needed to determine the effects of other drugs.

Purpose: These case reports show the orthodontic treatment of lower anterior incisors with gingival recession. Materials and Methods: Three cases were treated by an orthodontist and a periodontist. Each case had lingually tilted lower anterior incisors, anterior crossbite and skeletal Cl III pattern. Results: A variety of etiological factors were thought to cause gingival recession: aging, oral hygiene, tooth malpositioning, occlusal trauma. Conclusion: Due to the interaction among many possible contributing factors, it is difficult to predict whether further gingival recession may occur at a given site. The position and the movement of the lower anterior incisors with gingival recession are important factors in diagnosis and orthodontic treatment planning.

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive, treatment-resistant, and generally fatal disease. A 68-year-old male who was diagnosed with MPM at another hospital came to our hospital with dyspnea. We advised him to take combination chemotherapy but he refused to take the treatment. That was because he had already received chemotherapy with supportive care at another hospital but his condition worsened. Thus, we recommended photodynamic therapy (PDT) to deal with the dyspnea and MPM. After PDT, the dyspnea improved and the patient then decided to take the combination chemotherapy. Our patient received chemotherapy using pemetrexed/cisplatin. Afterwards, he received a single PDT treatment and then later took chemotherapy using gemcitabine/cisplatin. The patient showed a survival time of 27 months, which is longer than median survival time in advanced MPM patients. Further research and clinical trials are needed to demonstrate any synergistic effect between the combination chemotherapy and PDT.

Objective : We investigated the effects of BOM Gunbisoyeom-tang(Jianbixiaoyan-tang) Gamibang having prescribed clinically to patients with perennial allergic rhinitis. Methods : We prescribed BOM Gunbisoyeom-tang(Jianbixiaoyan-tang) Gamibang for 1 month to 77 patients visiting to KimKiJoon Orentalclinic BOM from January 1 to December 31, 2008 with perennial allergic rhinitis and analysised the questionnaire(symptom severity assessment) before and after treatment. Results : BOM Gunbisoyeom-tang(Jianbixiaoyan-tang) Gamibang improved significantly all nosal symptoms(sneezing, runny nose, congestion, itchy nose and postnasal drip), some non-nasal symptoms(eye and throat symptoms, headache and mental function) except chromic cough and ear symptoms and quality of life. Conclusion : BOM Gunbisoyeom-tang(Jianbixiaoyan-tang) Gamibang cured effectively patients with perennial allergic rhinitis by 1 month treatment but not perfectly. So further studies are needed for treatment duration and changes of pathological index before and after treatment.

The study was performed to evaluate the effect of oriental medical treatment for unilateral hyperhidrosis. This clinical study was carried out 1 case with unilateral hyperhidrosis, who had been treated from 22 December 2004 to 3 January 2005 in the department of acupuncture ＆ moxibustion, Gun-San Medical Center. There was improvement in condition of the patient treated by oriental medical treatment. So I guess that oriental medical treatment may improve unilateral hyperhidrosis. Further many studies are required.

We report on 4 patients suffering from acute neck pain and limited range of motion (ROM) in the cervical spine who were treated with intradermal acupuncture. The treatment effect was evaluated with numeric rating scale (NRS), ROM, and Neck Disability Index (NDI). After treatment, the NRS and NDI scores decreased and the ROM of the cervical spine increased in all patients. This report shows that intradermal acupuncture treatment can be effective for patients with acute neck pain with limited ROM. However, further controlled studies are needed to confirm the effect of intradermal acupuncture on such patients.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a module with higher removal efficiency and effectiveness by adapting two or more deodorization techniques for main cause of odor pollution exposed citizen living near water treatment facilities. Research design, data and methodology: To consider the standard, unity, electrical wire, compatibility of detachable device by installing two types of dry deodorization device within one module for easy replacement. Complex odor, H₂S, NH₃ were collected from sewage treatment facilities for evaluation of deodorization device. Results: Using the developed application in this study, removal efficiency of complex odor, H₂S, NH₃ were 93%, 100%, 82%, respectively. Conclusions: The H₂S removal efficiency of deodorization device was higher than bio-filter system, which were currently used by sewage treatment. Further, the device should be considered for use in efficient odor removal system.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to figure out the tendency of the commonly-used-pattern-identification and treatment for Hyperhidrosis by reviewing Korean clinical studies. Methods 18 articles which were published from August, 2004 to December, 2018. were obtained from the National discovery for science leader (NDSL), Research information sharing service (RISS), and Oriental medicine advanced searching integrated system (OASIS) by using keyword 'hyperhidrosis'. Results The most commonly-used-pattern-identification were the patterns with 'Heart' and 'Spleen-stomach'. Hyungbangsabaek-san and Taeeumjowi-tang were the most frequently used herbal medicine. The most common acupoints was LI4. The most common method of assessment was VAS. Conclusions This study identifies the most common pattern identification and treatment for hyperhidrosis. Developing systematic standards of pattern identification and treatment can be possible with further studies.

Tinnitus is a prevalent disorder that has no cure currently. Within the last two decades, neuroscientific research has facilitated a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie the generation and maintenance of tinnitus, and the brain and nerves have been identified as potential targets for its treatment using non-invasive brain stimulation methods. This article reviews studies on tinnitus patients using transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation, alternating current stimulation, transcranial random noise stimulation as well as transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation and bimodal combined auditory and somatosensory stimulation. Although none of these approaches has demonstrated effects that would justify its use in routine treatment, the studies have provided important insights into tinnitus pathophysiology. Moreover bimodal stimulation, which has only been developed recently, has shown promising results in pilot trials and is a candidate for further development into a valuable treatment procedure.
