인공판막심내막염은 드물지만 합병증으로 판막주위가 감염으로 파괴되고 농양이 형성되는 경우가 있어 높 은 사망율을 가져온다. 그러나 적절한 항생제의 사용, 심장초음파 검사에 기초를 둔 조기 진단,수술시 효과적인 심근보호. 그리고 수술경험의 축적으로 인공판막심내막염에 있어서 보다좋은 장단기 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 35세 남자 환자가 94년 8월에 대동맥판막, 승모판막대치술과 함께 삼첨판륜성형술을 받은후 특별한 증상 없이 지내다가 갑자기 시작된 실어증, 양안구의 좌측편위, 고열로 입원하여 심장초음파 검사를 시행한 결과 인공판막 심내막염 소견을 보여 6주간의 항생제 치료후 수술을 시행하였다. 수술소견상 대동맥 판륜을 따라 증식물 소견과 판막 주위의 누출, 농양주머니가 형성되어 있었고 승모판막은 비교적 건강해 보였다. 수술은 감염된 조직의 전체적인 제거와 냉동저장된 대동맥 동종이식편을 이용하여 재대치 수술을 시행했다. 환자는 수술후 63일째 퇴원했으며 퇴원후 7개월 동안 외래 추적 관찰결과 특별한 이상소견 없이 지내고 있다.

A Literature study on the language disturbance, the results are as follows; 1. Utterance was closely concerned not only the vocal organs(pharynx, larynx, epiglottis, lips, tongue, vocal cord etc,) but also five viscera{especially heart, lung, kidney etc.) in The Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine. It is very like the vocal mechanism in Medical science. 2. In the language disturbance, It is classified with dysarthria and dysphasia in Medical science. But in Oriental medicine, it is expressed the language disturbance as coma-speech lessness, stiff tongue-speechlessness, frightening-speechlessness etc. Especially in Oriental medicine, Non-utterance is called aphasia in literature study. 3. In the concern of the language disturbance and five viscera, $Heart{\cdot}Lung{\cdot}Kidney$ are counted of first importence. In differential diagnosis, It is divided sthenia-syndrome and asthenia-syndrome. Sthenia-syndrome is classified with wind-cold, fire-evil, adverseness of vital energy, stagnation of phlegm, is easy to cure. Asthenia-syndrome is classified with sexual desire, anxiety-meditation, fear, is hard to cure. 4. The pathogenesis of dysphasia originated from two factors; The first internal damages are consumption of body fluid caused by lung-dryness and yin-dificiency of lung & kidney. The second disease caused by exogenous evjls is sluggishness of lung-energy. 5. In many using points of acupuncture of the language disturbance, the order is LI-4(合谷), H-7(神門), K-l(湧泉), L-3(太衝), K-3(太谿), S-6(三陰交), H-5(通里), G-15(아門), C-23(廉泉), S-40(豊降), K-6(照海), L-7(列缺), S-36(足三里) etc.

We treated a Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathic patient with Oriental medical approach, and got a significant result. This treatment shows the possibility of healing Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. So we are reporting this case. Method : Acupuncture treatment, herb medication, rehabilitation therapy were applied for treating patient's chief symptom.(involuntary movement, dystonia, aphasia, fever, perspiration) Results : Consciousness loss in acute stage of Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy can be considered as Mental Confusion due to Phlegm(Dammisimgyu) in veiw point of Oriental medicine. Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome can be considered as Sudden Palpitation(Gyounggye) in veiw point of Oriental medicine. After oriental medical treatment, patient's chief symptoms were improved. Conclusion: More study about oriental medical treatment on Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome with Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is needed.

The psychiatric interview is not a random or arbitrary meeting between doctor and patient. It is a systematic attempt to understand the relationship of psychopathology to emotional conflicts in patient, and interviewing is an in rather than a science, a skill that can be acquired but probably not taught. The faculty of the Seoul National University Hospital, Department of Psychiatry, have been providing 12 sessions of seminar on Psychiatric Interview and Psychopathology every year for the first year residents for the past 15 years. The authors presented three cases materials with their understandings of psychopathology and psychodynamics, each of which the authors had performed live interviews for 50 minutes in front of the residents. Those are a young male with conversion disorder whose chief complaints was motor aphasia, a young college girl with paranoid schizophrenia whose chief complaints were persecutory and erotic delusions with auditory hallucination, and a climacteric female in delusional disorder who had a delusion of infidelity. The most frequent questions the residents raised after the presentations were on the significances of the first interview, danger of making the diagnoses with short interviews, and methodology of questionings and not-questionings. In reply the authors discussed the importance of understandings of psychopathology and psychodynamics, the flexibility of the techniques of interviewing, and priority-related matters in which the understanding of psychodynamics proceed to the diagnoses.

Objectives The purpose of this study was to review and evaluate the clinical evidence of the efficacy and safety of treatment based on Sasang constitutional medicine (SCM) for post-stroke patients by systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), published in 10 electronic databases up to December 2020, were searched. For the included studies, Cochrane's risk of bias assessment was performed to analyze the methodological quality. The strength of evidence was evaluated using the grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation system based on the results of analyses. All review processes were performed by two independent researchers. Results Five RCTs were finally included. All included RCTs were conducted for one month on post-stroke patients in 60-80s, four studies on Tae-Eum patients and one study on So-Yang patients. Four types of constitution-specific herbal medicine (Chungpyesagan-tang, Cheongsimsanyak-tang, Yeoldahanso-tang, and Yangkyuksanhwa-tang) and constitution-specific acupuncture therapy were identified as interventions. More than half of the included studies were evaluated as low quality due to the high-risk of bias in selection, performance, and detection. The combination of constitution-specific herbal medicine, acupuncture, and conventional treatment was more effective in improving the patients' motor impairment, dysphagia, aphasia, and depression than conventional treatment alone. No serious adverse events by SCM treatment were reported. Conclusions SCM treatment may improve the sequelae of post-stroke patients safely in combination with conventional treatment. Since the quality of clinical evidence included in this study was low, higher quality clinical evidence obtained in well-designed clinical studies will be needed.
