Objectives : This study is performed for the purpose of proving the efficacy of the Oriental medicine of swollen leg. Edema is defined as an increase in the extravascular(interstitial) component of the extracellular fluid volume, which may expand by several liters before the abnormality is recognized. We treated one case of patient with a swollen leg. Methods & results : We examined DITI before treatment and after treatment. We measured the circumference of thigh and calf every morning, so we compared with the values day after day. So we found the fact that leg swelling considerably decreased after treatment for 14 days. We followed up after discharge. Conclusions : Acupuncture, Aquacupuncture and Herbal medicine is possible to be effective for treating patients with a swollen leg.

Avian reoviruses have been implicated in respiratory disease enteric conditions including Cloacal pasting in young thicks, pericarditis, hydropericardium, anaemia with swollen spleen and liver and petechiation of skeletal muscle and viral arthritis. This study was conducted to examine properties of reovirus field 3 strains isolated from affected broiler from several farms. An infectious agent was isolated from leg tendons and intestine of broiler with clinical tenosynovitis. The agent grew well on the chicken embryo kideny cells(CEK). One of them produced cytopathic effects(CPE) of round type and formed intranuclear inclusions, and the other was characterized by CPE of syncytical type and cytoplasmic inclusion. The properties and serological classification of field strains were examined by hemagglutin test, virus neutralization test, agar gel precipitin, electropherotype. They showed no hemagglutination reactions and not well neutralization and to possess common antigens detectable by AGP test. RNA electropherotype presented 10 segment band as the previous report. These data suggest that the field strains and standard strains (1133, 1733) may be the same group.

A new monstrilloid species belonging to the genus $Cymbasoma$ is described as a preliminary result from nocturnal surveys using a light trap on the east and south coasts of South Korea. Monstrilloid copepods are first recorded in South Korea. $Cymbasoma$ $striifrons$ n. sp. resembles $C.$ $striatum$ (Isaac, 1974) and $C.$ $tumorifrons$ Isaac, 1975 in sharing the character combination of transverse striations on forehead, somewhat small body (generally slightly less or longer than 1 mm), single lobed leg 5 bearing a short medial seta in female, and smooth lateral margin of anal somite without notch and wrinkles. However, $C.$ $striifrons$ n. sp. differs from $C.$ $striatum$ by relatively short and swollen cephalothorax, and rather strongly wrinkled genital somite. $Cymbasoma$ $striifrons$ n. sp. is also distinguished from $C.$ $tumorifrons$ in lacking a rounded protuberance on anterior margin of ventral surface and by relatively short cephalothorax and the number of ventral nipple-like processes on cephalothorax. Herein the new species is described and illustrated, with some comments on the morphological comparison with its allied species.

Pseudomonas aerusinosa infection was diagnosed in broiler chicks, and was submitted to the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service in Korea. The total mortality rate was about 1,500 birds out of 22,000 broilers. Clinically, affected birds showed clinical signs including depression and anorexia with lameness and trembling of the leg. At necropsy, the dead broilers appeared to have omphalitis, yolk sac infection, fibrinous epicarditis, and fibrinous exudates in liver with swollen hock joint. Microscopically, there were multiple necrotic foci in the liver, fibrinous exudates in the heart, and infiltration of heterophils into the joint spaces of the hock joint. Pseudomonas aerusinosa was isolated from the heart, liver and hock joint, and the isolate was named P-200. In effort to estimate the virulence of P-200, 1-day-old chicks were challenged intramuscularly and intrayolksacally with the isolate. On the basis of mortality rate, the isolate P-200 was found to be highly virulent. This is the first report of an occurrence of Pseudomonas aerusinosa infection in broilers in Korea.

Adults of Prosimulium kiotoense and Twinnia japonensis were collected and reported from Korea for the first time. Since adult black flies are notorious for morphological homogeneity particularly in female, larval and pupal characters have been mainly used to identify them. Adults of P. kiotoense can be identified by the following combination of characteristics: Adult, wing with radial sector (Rs) branched into R²⁺³ and R⁴⁺⁵; hind leg basitarsus without calcipala; first tarsomere without pedisulcus. Female, claw without basal thumblike lobe; hypogenial valve elongate, convex, heavily sclerotized medially, posterior end touching each other, space between valves rhomboid. Male, claw with basal thumblike lobe; ventral plate keel shaped; gonostylus with 2-3 spinules. Adults and pupa of T. japonensis can be identified by the following combination of characteristics: Adult, antenna with 7 flagellomeres. Female, hypogenial valve broad, posterior end of valve not touching each other; cercus elongate, subquadrate; spermatheca slightly wider and long, round. Male, claw with basal thumblike lobe; gonostylus with 1 spinule; ventral plate flat. Pupa, gill of 16 filaments, arising from 3 swollen stalks; abdominal tergites without spine combs except tergites III and IV with small recurved hooks; terminal spine well developed, wavy shaped.

이 연구에서는 갑각강, 요각아강, Harpacticoida 목, Diosaccidae과, Paramphiascella 속의 Paramphiascella vararensis의 copepodid유생단계 및 성체의 발생과정에 대하여 보고한다. P. vararensis는 구멍 갈파래의 건조 분말을 먹이로 수온 22${\sim}$23$^{\circ}$C, 염분 33${\sim}$34 ppt의 배양 조건하에서 copepodid I 단계에서 copepodid VI 단계인 성체까지 발생하는데, 15일이 소요되었다. 성 분화는 제 IV copepodid기에서 이루어지며, 크기, 제 1 촉각, 제 2 흉지, 제 5 흉지 및 제 6 흉지 등에서 발생을 거듭하면서 형태적 차이를 보였다. 즉, 크기에서는 숫컷이 암컷보다 훨씬 작으며, 제 1 촉각은 암컷에 비하여 숫컷이 매우 변형되었고, 특히 제 1 촉각의 네 번째 마디가 암컷에 비해 매우 부풀어져있었다. 그리고 암컷의 제 2 흉지의 내지는 3마디이나, 숫컷은 2마디로 차이를 보였다. 한편, 제 5 흉지의 내엽의 강모수는 암컷이 3개, 숫컷이 2개였고, 제 6 흉지에서는 암컷은 2개, 숫컷은 3개의 강모를 갖는다.

Objectives The purpose of this review is to investigate studies of Scolopendrid pharmacopuncture and the evidence of it's effects in order to suggest a better research method in the future. Methods We retrieved numbers of clinical studies about Scolopendrid pharmacopuncture from 7 Korean web databases, using key words such as 'Scolopendrid', 'Scolopendrid AND Pharmacopuncture'. This study had been conducted from 1st May 2013 to 31th July 2013. Controlled studies and case studies were only used for this study. Clinical studies that we picked from the databases were classified according to the diseases that those studies are about, and from these clinical studies, we are to research what has to be improved generally in clinical researches. Results 18 case studies, 4 controlled studies had been under research. Scolopendrid pharmacopuncture has a therapeutic effect mainly in musculoskeletal and neurological diseases such as herniated intervertebral disc, carpal tunnel syndrome, swollen leg, feeling of cold on legs, wrist ganglion, lateral epicondylitis, radial nerve palsy, cervical myelopathy, cauda equina syndrome, postauricular pain; as an early symptom of Bell's palsy, pain of popliteal part, gout, plantar fasciitis, cellulitis, frozen shoulder, pain of hip adductors. However objectivity and reliability of the Scolopendrid pharmacopuncture studies still remains controversial. Conclusions It has been suggested that there are positive effects of Scolopendrid pharmacopuncture therapy in treating specific diseases (especially neuromusculoskeletal diseases). However, this narrative review can't conclude and prove that the Scolopendrid pharmacopuncture has positive effectiveness on these diseases unlike systematic review. So, in order to put Scolopendrid pharmacopuncture therapy to use for many kinds of diseases in more reasonable ways, it is essential to build well-designed clinical research tools. In the future, abundant case studies, more follow-up trials and randomized controlled trials based on the korean medicine should be done to use Scolopendrid pharmacopuncture for a clinical purpose.
