  • Waardenburgs syndrome is estimated to account for 1 to 7% of all congenital deafness. The primary features of the syndrome include lateral displacement of the medial canthi and lacrimal punctae, a flat nasal root, white forelock, unilateral or bilateral congenital deafness, some degree of heterochromia of the iris, and hyperplasia of the eyebrow. This syndrome was described at first by Waardenburg in 1951, and since that time there have been reports of the same syndrome in both the English (Partington, 1959) and American (Di George) literature. The authors have experienced 3 cases of Waardenburgs syndrom, and report these cases with literature review.

  • This study was conducted to detect the Y-specific DNA in the blood of the female calf in bovine heterosexual production. Genomic DNAs of the freemartin were isolated from the blood and amplified with Y-chromosome specific DNA primer(l4lbp). In order to estimate the lower limit for the detection of XY cells, blood from a hull was diluted in cow blood to 0.01%. DNA sequencing on the PCR products was shown the same sequences as Y chromosome DNA of the normal cows. The Y specific DNA hand by PCR was detected all blood of female calf suspected to have bovine freemar tin syndrom and the karyotyping with freemartin blood was identified as XX / XY chimerism. Therefore, the PGR methods used in this study was very useful technique for the detection of freemartin in Ranwoo and Holstein.

  • In recent years, and with the increased adoption of digital transformation and spending long hours in front of these devices, clinicians have observed that the prolonged use of visual display units (VDUs) can result in a certain symptom complex, which has been defined as computer vision syndrome (CVS). This syndrome has been affected by many causes, such as light refractive errors, poor computer design, workplace ergonomics, and a highly demanding visual task. This research focuses on eliminating one of CVSs, which is the eye dry syndrome caused by infrequent eye blink rate while using a smart device for a long time. This research attempt to find a limitation on the current tools. In addition, exploring the other use cases to utilize the solution based on each vertical and needs.

  • Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of treating the carpal tunnel syndrome by using both the Herbal Acupuncture and herbal medicine therapy on five cases. Methods: For the Herbal Acupuncture, Jungseonguhhyul No. 1 and Hwanglyunhaedoktang were used. For the herbal medicine, Dangguihwalhyul-tang was used. The patients were treated once in every two days; the result was evaluated after ten treatments. Patients' conditions were monitored through their testimony, phalen's test, nerve conduction study and electromyography. Results: In all five cases, the patients showed improvement; in four cases, the patients no longer had most of the clinical symptoms. Based on the result of the nerve conduction study, for the four cases in which the patients no longer displayed most of the clinical symptoms, their nerve conduction rate improved; for the remaining one case, the patient's nerve conduction rate deteriorated. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that combining the Herbal Acupuncture and herbal medicine therapy can have noticeable effects in treating the carpal tunnel syndrome; developing more variety of the herbal acupuncture would lead to even better treatment results.

  • The basal cell nevus syndrome is also known as the Gorlin-Goltz syndrom. It is a dominant autosomal disorder which is characterized by keratocystic odontogenic tumors in the jaw, skeletal abnormalities, and multiple basal cell nevi carcinomas. This study reports an 11-year-old boy with multiple odontogenic keratocysts in the jaw, hypertelorism, and frontal bossing. When a young patient has cystic lesions with an impacted permanent teeth, it is important to preserve the teeth. For a growing patient with impacted permanent teeth, a more conservative method is suggested, which will enable the preservation the permanent teeth in Gorlin-Goltz syndrome.

  • The objective of this study was to investigate the diagnosis and treatment of Retinal vein occlusion such as syndrome differentiation and herbal medicine by reviewing Chinese traditional medicine`s journals. The journal search was carried out using China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Pubmed from January 2000 to December 2014. Searching key words were the various combination of "Retinal vein occlusion", "traditional chinese medicine", "syndrome differentiation". The final selection of 11 studies were selected and summarized by researchers. The effective rate was significantly higher than control but, methodological quality of the trials was generally low questioning their liability. The syndrome differentiation was classified as hyperactivity of liver yang and blood stasis. The most frequently prescribed herbal medication was Hyulbuchookeotang, Boyanghwanotang and Cheomagudeungum. This finding could be widely utilized in future clinical practice and form the basis for the development of clinical practice guidelines in advance.

  • The etiologic agents of haemorragic fever with ranal syndrom (HFRS) in Korea are Hantaan and Seoul virus in the genus Hantavirus, family Bunyaviridae. In order to elucidate the role of maternal immunity to Hantavirus infection in rats, the protective effect of the maternal antibody were studies by using rats experimentally infected with Seoul virus strain HR80-39. Antibody titers of sera and viral antigen against Seoul virus were investigated by indirect immunofluorscence antibody technique (IFA). The dam sera had IFA antibody titers ranging from 1:128 to 1:1,024 after parturition. In fetuses, IFA antibody titers ranged from 1: 16 to 1:64 just after birth, increased to peak titers ranged from 1:256 to 1:1,024 in the 2nd week after birth. Challenged newborn rats had IFA antibody titers ranging from 1:64 to 1:1,024 after inoculation. No viral antigen was detected in lungs or other organs of the newborn rats. The maternal antibody to Seoul virus was transferred prenatally through placenta and postnatally via colostrum from immune dams to their offspring. These results demonstrated that maternal antibody to Seoul virus was quite effective in protecting newborn rats against same virus infection.
