The purposes of this study is to survey the clinical findings of congenital muscular torticollis. The subjects were 44 congenital muscular torticollis patients who were treated at physical therapy department of rehabilitation medicine, presbyterian medical center during the period Jan. Dec. 1991 The results were as follows : 1. Patients were evenly divided by gender(22 bodys, 22 girls). Left-sided involvement was found in 27 cases$(61.4\%)$, and right side in 17 cases$(38.6\%)$. 2. Abnormal delivery was 29 cases$(65.9\%)$. Those included resarean section, breech presentation with vaginal delivery and difficulty delivery. 3. Most of torticollis were primipara infant 33 cases$(75\%)$ 4. Associated congenital anomalies were noted in 12 cases, the most common cases were central co-ordination disturbance. 5. Patients was most commonly referred form the department of pediatrics. 6. Sternocleidomastoid fibrotic nodules were noted in 32 cases$(72.7\%)$. 7. Four cases had excision of the sternocleidomastoid fibrotic nodules in infancy and average at which operation was twelve months of life(range from nine months to fourteen months). 8. Facial asymmetry was noted in 13 cases at the begining of treatment, and the asymmetry was corrected after treatment in 10 cases. 9. The average duration of treatment was 3 months when the treatment was started in 3 weeks old. 10. The result was good in 22 cases$(50\%)$, fair in 12 Cases$(27.3\%)$.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to investigate the current breast feeding rates in Jeju Province and to identify factors which influence breast feeding duration after birth. Method: The subjects were 189 women with a child between 12 months and 24 months old. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire from October 2003 to January 2004. Measures used in this study included general characteristics, delivery related characteristics, breast feeding related characteristics and the feeding type over a 12-month period after birth. Result: The study showed that the breast feeding rate in the first month was 63.1%, later dropping to 30.9% in the sixth month. In addition, only 14.2% of subjects were still breast feeding the baby at twelve months of age. The mean of breast feeding duration was 4.77 months. The factors which influenced breast feeding duration were wanted pregnancy, breast feeding education, planning of breast feeding and breast feeding experience. Conclusion: Considering the low rate of long-term breast feeding, the importance of breast feeding should be emphasized to promote and support the continuation of breast feeding in addition to at its initial stage. Based on the results, programs on breast feeding promotion and continuation need to be developed.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of a positioning education program through the brochure or oral explanations for the parents of premature infants with a brain lesion and investigated the satisfaction level of physical therapy of parents of premature infants with a brain lesion. Methods: Forty parents of premature infants with a brain lesion participated in this study. The recruited premature infants were randomized into groups A (n=20) and B (n=20) for the purpose of the positioning education method through brochure or oral explanations. The level of satisfaction and recognition for the positioning education program was investigated by the parents of 12 month old infants. The gross motor function, measure-88, was examined at three months, six months, nine months, and twelve months of the corrected age. Results: No significant differences in the recognition of the position education program, level of satisfaction of the environment, and the attitude of the therapist were noted (p>0.05). Significantly high levels of satisfaction with the program of group B given the brochure were noted. The gross motor function measure-88 was also similar in both groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study suggests that the parents were satisfied with the positioning education program of the brochure. The differences in educational methods did not affect the development of premature infants.

배경: 심장판막 및 그 주변의 큰 혈관들의 내피세포는 다른 부위와 달리 훨씬 완화된 면역 반응을 보이는 것에 착안하여, 고정액이나 면역학적 처치를 거치지 않은 이종 판막의 대동맥 판막의 임상적 유용성을 돼지-염소 간 이종 폐동맥 판막도관 이식 실험을 통해 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 돼지 폐동맥 판막도관은 특별한 면역학적 처치를 거치지 않은 채 준비하여 인공심폐기 가동 하에 염소의 우심실 유출로에 이식하였다. 염소들은 군당 2마리씩 배정하여 이식 후 하루, 1주, 3개월, 6개월, 12개월 동안 각각 관찰하였다. 실험동물을 희생하기 전 심초음파검사를 시행하여 판막의 움직임을 관찰하였고, 이종 장기를 적출한 후 판막도관의 조직학적 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과: 총 12마리 중 10마리에서 정해진 기간 동안 생존하였다. 이식된 폐동맥의 전벽의 동맥류가 12개월과 3개월 관찰한 각각 한 마리의 염소에서 발견되었다. 심초음파 검사에서는 다양한 정도의 폐동맥 판막 폐쇄부전의 소견을 보였으나 판막의 협착이나 혈전형성, 증식증은 관찰되지 않았다. 조직학적 관찰에서 이식 세포의 핵은 핵농축 및 핵융해를 통해 없어졌지만, 이식된 이종 판막도관의 세 구역(폐동맥, 폐동맥 판막, 누두부)은 구조가 보존되면서 점차적으로 시간에 따라 숙주 세포로 대체되었다. 결론: 면역학적 처리를 거치지 않은 이종 폐동맥 판막도관이 돼지-염소 간 이종 이식실험에서 다소의 문제점이 발견되기는 하였지만 성공적으로 숙주 세포로 대체되어 기존의 조직판막의 대안이 될 가능성을 제시하였다.

Objective: This study was performed to compare fat content, reducing sugar contents, sensory traits, and fatty acid (FA) and volatile compound profiles in longissimus thoracis (LT) among Korean cattle (KC), Holstein (HO), and Angus (AN) steers. Methods: Twelve LT samples (about 500 g each) of KC with an average age of $31{\pm}0.42months$, an average carcass weight of $431{\pm}12.5kg$, and a quality grade (QG) of 1+ were obtained from the joint livestock products market. Twelve LT samples of HO cattle with an average age of $24{\pm}0.54months$, an average carcass weight of $402{\pm}7.81kg$, and a QG of 2 were also obtained from the same market. Twelve LT samples of AN steers with an average age of about 20 months and a QG of choice were purchased from a beef delivery company. After slaughter, samples were kept at $4^{\circ}C$ for 42 days and prepared for immediate analysis or stored at appropriate conditions. The chemical composition, color, pH, shear force, collagen content, reducing sugars, sensory evaluation, FA composition, and volatile compound content for each LT sample were analyzed. Results: The LT of KC had the highest (p<0.05) fat content, the highest reducing sugar content, and the highest scores in the sensory evaluation (flavor, tenderness, juiciness, and overall acceptance). All the sensory traits were positively correlated (p<0.001) with intramuscular fat and reducing sugar content. Several FAs and volatile compound profiles varied among the breeds. KC LT had the highest (p<0.05) concentrations of acetaldehyde, 3-methyl butanal, and 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, and these volatile compounds were positively correlated (p<0.05) with all the sensory traits. Conclusion: Variations in fat content and reducing sugar contents and FA and volatile compound profiles may contribute to differences in the sensory quality of LT among breeds.

The following conclusions are drawn from a review on the theory of correlation between the jang-bu organs in 'Ojangchunchaklon(五臟穿鑿論)' which is quoted in 'Uihakipmoon(醫學入門)' and 'Donguibogam(東醫寶鑑)'. The three yangs and three yins are trisections each of yang ki and y1n ki. They represent three aspects of change in powers of yin ki and yang ki. The theory of Kaehapchu(開闔樞 the opening, closing and pivot) is thought to be the concept which explains the three states of jang-bu organs and meridians in terms of three yangs and three yins. The three yangs and three yins are assigned to twelve months according to the generation, prosperity and vanishment of the water, the fire, the wood and the metal in the circulation of nature with the lapse of time. Most of all, the change of the water and the fire is the main guide to the assignment. Both the theory of exterior-interior relations in jang-bu organs and meridians and the theory of Kaehapchu are founded on the assignment of three yangs and three yins to twelve months. The correlation between jang-bu organs is based on the monthly assignment of three yangs and three yins described in 'Internal classic(內經)' and the theory of Kaehapchu. In the correlations between jang-bu organs and meridians, the exterior-interior relations are the correspondences of Hand to Hand and Foot to Foot. but the relations of Kaehapchu are those of Hand to Foot and Foot to Hand. Jeesan's diagram of pulse is grounded on the correlations between jang-bu organs. On the left of the diagram, jang organs are arranged in the order of hierarchic positions in body. On the right, bu organs are disposed according to the correlations with the jang organs. Jeesan's diagram includes the principles of triple harmony and diagonal groups in twelve earthly branches(十二支). Jeesan's diagram is the frame through which correlations of jung-ki-shin-hyul, five jang and six bu organs, twelve meridians and six intrinsic factors can be observed at once.

This study aimed to assess the biomechanical performance of a new generation of artificial ligament, which can be considered "bioactive" and "biointegrated," implanted in sheep. Thirty sheep were implanted: 15 sheep received the artificial ligament grafted with a bioactive polymer (grafted) and 15 received the artificial ligament without a bioactive polymer (non-grafted). The animals were sacrificed 3 or 12 months after implantation. The knee kinematics, namely flexion-extension, anterior drawer, and varus-valgus tests, were evaluated using a fully characterized custom-made device. Afterward, the specimens were tested under uniaxial tension until failure. The flexion-extension showed significant differences between (grafted or non-grafted) artificial and native ligaments 3 months after implantation. This difference became non-significant 12 months postoperatively. The anterior tibial drawer was significantly increased 3 months after implantation and remained significantly different only for non-grafted ligament 12 months after implantation. Twelve months after implantation, the differences between grafted and non-grafted ligament biomechanical properties were significant in terms of stiffness. In terms of load to failure, grafted ligaments seem to have had slightly better performance than non-grafted ligaments 12 months postoperatively. Overall these results suggest that grafted artificial ligaments have slightly better biomechanical characteristics than non-grafted artificial ligaments 12 months after implantation in sheep.

Intussusception is common cause of intestinal obstruction in children. Most of intussusceptions can be treated with non-operative reduction using air or barium. However, about 10% patients need operative treatment due to failure of reduction, peritonitis, and recurrence after reduction. We introduce our experience of laparoscopic surgery for intussusception. From April 2010 to March 2013, we reviewed 57 children who diagnosed intussusception. Twelve patients underwent an operation. The cause of operation was 7 of failure of air reduction and 5 of recurrence after air reduction. Median age was 21.5 months (range: 5.0~57.7 months) and 11 children (91.7%) underwent successful laparoscopic reduction. Median operating time was 50 minutes (range: 30~20 minutes) and median hospital days was 4.5 days (range: 3~8 days). One patient had a leading point as a heterotopic pancreas and underwent bowel resection through conversion. There was neither intra-operative nor postoperative complication. Laparoscopic reduction for intussusception can bring an excellent cosmetic effect with high success rate.

Hydrocele is commonly found clinically and it is associated with patent processes vaginalis. The exact causes of this disease have no been proved up to now however monthly this disease disappears in twelve months after birth but some cases remain. For the treatment we do hydrocelectomy and although the rate of complications were low, sometimes the complications result in reoperations of children. Form the view of oriental medicine, hydrocele is included in susan(水疝) and this treatment originated from naekyung(內經). In this case, we got good results after treating a boy at the age of twenly-five months by bojungikitanggamibang therefor we want to annoume this.
