I studied connection between meridians and Dianxian(癲癎, Epilepsy). Dianxian is caused by Feun(風) based on the Blood-Deficiency(血虛) which is induced by Heart-deficiency(心虛). Therefore, when Heart and blood are in deficient condition(心血虛), Heart meridian(心經) and Pericardium meridian(心包經) can be easily affected by Feng(風), which is main cause of Dianxian. Furthermore, Liver heat(肝熱) is another main cause of Dianxian. It shows along Liver meridian(肝經) and affects Pericardium Meridian(心包經). Heart, Pericardium and Liver are main organs of human psychoconscious activities, and also are main pathological organs of Dianxian. Dianxian progresses in several ways and simtoms of Dianxian are variant according to the deficiency-exess state(虛實) of Stomach and Spleen meridians(脾胃經). So, I concluded that controling Heart, Pericardium, Liver, Stomach and Spleen meridians can make therapeutical effects on Dianxian. So I report it for the better treatment, and it shoud need further study.

In this study, the effects of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) on ischemia/ reperfusion injury were investigated on isolated heart perfusion models. Hezrts were perfused with oxygenated Krebs-henseleit solution (pH 7.4, $37^{\cire}C$) on a Langendorff apparatus. After equilibration, isolated hearts were treated with TUDCA 100 and 200 $\mu\textrm{M}$ or vehicle (0.02% DMSO) for 10 min before the onset of ischemia in single treatment group. In 7 day pretreatment group. TUDCA 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight were given orally for 7 days before operation. After global ischemia (30 min), ischemic hearts were reperfused for 30 min. The physiological (i.e. heart rate, left ventricdular developed pressure, coronary flow, double product, time to contracture formation) and biochemical (lactate dehydrogenase; LDH) parameters were evaluated. In vehicle-treated group, time to contracture formation was 810 sec during ischemia, LVDP was 34.0 mmHg at the endpoint of reperfusion and LDH activity in total reperfusion effluent was 34.3 U/L. Single treatment with TUDCA did not change the postischemic recovery of cardiac function, LDH and time to contractur compared with ischemic control group. TUDCA pretreatment showed the tendency to decrease LDH release and to increase time to contracture and coronary flow. Our findings suggest that TUDCA does not ameliorate ischemia/reperfusion-reduced myocardial damage.

New born rat heart cells were dissociated using trypsin and/or collegenase to elucidate the dissociation efficiency of these two enzymes. And the effect of dimethyl sulfoxide during and immediately after cell dissociation was also investigated to clarify the so-called protective activity of dimethyl sulfoxide on cell performance. The results can be summarized as follows. 1. Cold trypsin 18 hours pretreatment followed by warm collagenase treatment resulted best cell viability and cell yield. 2. Single, warm trypsin treatment gave the poorest result. 3. Dimethyl sulfoxide did not seem to play any protective role during or immediately after rat heart cell dissociation. It had very damaging effect on rat heart cells.

This thesis is focused to get treatment on climacteric syndrome through literary study. The results are followed as below. 1. The climacteric syndrome is beginning with lowering of secretion of female hormone. It's not understood as abnormal disease but as normal phenomenon. 2. The causes of climacteric syndrome are defined as deficiency of the Kidney, stagnation of Liver, disharmony between Heart and Kidney, insufficiency of both the Heart and the Spleen, blood stagnation. 3. The causes of climacteric bleeding are continuous with overstrain, injury of the five emotions, blood heat, deteriorating blood. 4. The treatment of climacteric syndrome are mainly nutrition of Kidney and Liver, that of Kidney heat, descending Yang of Liver, nutrition of blood of heart, having a comunication with Kidney and Heart, nutrition of Spleen and Stomarch. 5. For the prescriptions on climacteric syndrome, the treatments such as Jaguium(左歸飮), Wooguium(右歸飮), Soyosan(逍遙散加減), Jibakjihwangtang(知柏地黃湯加減), Esuntang(二仙湯), Ejihwan(二至丸加味), Sihogayonggolmoryutang(柴胡加龍骨牡蠣湯加減) are used. And the acupuncture points such as Conception Channel, the Spleen Channel, the Urinary Bladder Channel, the Kidney Channel which are related to the lower belly of woman.

We report here one case of rapid and aggressive course of cerebral metastatic angiosarcoma from the heart. A 36-year-old man presented with 10-days history of headache. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated subacute hemorrhage with a small region of enhancement in right parietal region and the pathological diagnosis was angiosarcoma. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated $3.2{\times}3$ cm sized mass on right atrial wall. Newly developed lesion was reoperated, three and four weeks later respectively, and whole brain radiotherapy of total 30 Gy was done. With the interval of two months, gamma knife surgery was done for new lesions two times, which were well controlled. Newly developed lesions rapidly happened even in the adjuvant treatment. He died 9 months after the diagnosis because of the aggravation of primary cancer. The cerebral metastatic angiosarcoma from the heart showed the rapid aggressive behavior and the closed follow-up could be needed for the adjuvant treatment.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the necessity of distant pedicled flap in the treatment of soft tissue defects in the hand. Materials and Methods: Distant pedicled flap was performed in the 25 hands of 25 patients from 2000 to 2004. There were 20 males and 5 females and mean age was 34 years. The surgery was done for electrical burns in 13 patients, flame burns in 8 patients and crushing injuies in 4 patients. Results: We have performed 25 distant pedicled flaps for the coverage of soft tissue defects in the hands when local and free flaps were unavailable. Soft tissue coverages by distant pedicled flap were completely successful in all the 25 hands. No complication such as total flap loss, marginal flap loss and infection occurred. Conclusion: Distant pedicled flaps were very useful alternative method in the treatment of soft tissue defect in the hand.

Many surgical procedures have been described for the treatment of chronic lateral instability of the ankle. Tenodesis procedures using peroneus brevis tendon is traditionally common among them. Recently, the modified Brostrom anatomic procedure, that is, tightening the stretched out lateral ligaments to restore their norma] anatomy without the use of supplemental tissues and then suturing the lateral portion of the extensor retinaculum to the distal fibula over the ligament repair. has been gaining in popularity. We have reviewed 6 of 10 consecutive cases at an average of 17 months after modified Brostrom procedure. An excellent or good result was achieved in 5 cases, all of which had improved mechanical stability as measured radiographically. One case that had an unsatisfactory result was in patient who had had a previous Evans' operation. So, we believed that the modified Brostrom procedure is an excellent treating method for chronic lateral instability of the ankle.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of power walking and square dancing on middle-aged women with hypertension. Design: Randomized controlled Trial. Methods: 30 middle-aged women with hypertension were selected and divided into two groups. 15 cases in the control group received routine treatment, and 15 cases in the intervention group received community vigorous walking and square dancing intervention on the basis of routine treatment. The intervention time was 40-60minutes/day, 5days/week, total 16 weeks. total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), angiotensin II (Ang II), Leptin, blood pressure, and heart rate were measured. Results: Body weight, body mass index (BMI), TC, TG, LOW-density lipoprotein, angiotensin II, leptin, systolic blood pressure and heart rate were significantly reduced after power walking and square dancing (p<0.05). After the experiment, TC and TG in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (p<0.05), while HDL was higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that power walking exercises and square dances are significant effects on lipid mechanism and heart rate.

Since the current tendencies show us the increasing number of cerebral palsy children and the standard longevity, we need to find out more research about the following various problems. Therefore I have tried to figure out the difference of oxygen saturation and heart rate between before ambulation and after. Objects chosen are 17 C.P children on the process of treatment those who were able to walk and 8 normal children in Ah-San hospital, Gang-Nung. They haven't had either any operation or suffered heart disease and I measured their oxygen saturation and heart rate by using pulse-oximeter and are analyzed by SPSS (10.07 version). Results are the followings; 1. There was no difference of oxygen saturation and heart rate between pre-ambulation and post-ambulation of normal and spastic hemiplegia children. 2. There showed the significant statistic difference of oxygen saturation, heart rate between pre-ambulates and post-ambulation of normal and spastic diplegia(p<.05). 3. There was no difference of oxygen saturation, heart rate in C.P between(p>.05), but shows the significant statistic difference in heart rate(p<.05). As I compared the oxygen saturation and heart rate of spastic and normal children on between pre-ambulation and post-ambulation, theres is significant statistic difference on both items (p<.05). However there was no difference of oxygen saturation among hemiplegia, normal and diplegia children while the pulse rate showed the significant difference(p<.05). According to this clinical research, CP children's oxygen saturation and heart rate had no change between pre and post compared to normal children. But there was difference in diplegia. This is why we need to invest time to study these kinds of research about various analysis and comparison of oxygen saturation and heart rate, and furthermore making use of pulse-oxymetry in physical therapy room for the children involved would be beneficial to calculate in accuracy without any discomfort for the patient as well.
