Through a consideration of the contralateral collateral needling(繆刺) from "Neijing", the conclusions are as follows. The contralateral collateral needing is defined as a disordered state, and also as the pricking bloodletting method. Unlike the seasonal deficiency pathogen(虛邪), which are affected by the four seasons, the subject of the contralateral collateral needling is the extra pathogen(奇邪), which is the cause of the extra disease(奇病), therefore the treatment should be different from the general. The contralateral collateral needling is generally used when a pain is generated from the veins(絡) by an external pathogen(邪). However, it can be used as the treatment for an emotional disorder, such as flight or sorrow, or a body constituent(身形) disorder caused by internal parts of the five viscera. Although the contralateral collateral needling(繆刺) and the contralateral meridian needling(巨刺) share the left and right cross treatment(右取左, 左取右) in common, but they are different in every aspect, as the causes, transmutation, location, and feature of disease, relation of qi and blood, and location and method of needling(刺鍼). The medical procedure of the contralateral collateral needling is collateral needling(刺絡) the parts of blood collaterals(血絡) or bruising(痏) well points(井穴) of the end of the both sides of limbs, and using the left and right cross treatment when the former methods are not making any progress. The symptoms of contralateral collateral needling are head, chest, and abdomen pains, and they are treated at the end of the limbs. The bloodletting method(刺絡法), extracting a little amount of blood at well points or blood collaterals, or the collateral vessel pricking therapy(瀉血法), extracting a lot of blood by using cupping(附缸), for example, are contemporary successions of the collateral needling(絡刺), the leopard-spot needling(豹文刺), and the contralateral collateral needling.

Ulnar collateral ligament injuries have been increasingly common in overhead throwing athletes. Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction is the current gold standard for managing ulnar collateral ligament insufficiency, and numerous reconstruction techniques have been described. Although good clinical outcomes have been reported regarding return to sports, there are still several technical issues including exposure, graft selection and fixation, and ulnar nerve management. This review article summarizes a variety of surgical techniques of ulnar collateral ligament reconstructions and compares clinical outcomes and biomechanics.

Ulnar collateral ligament injuries of the elbow are frequent among overhead athletes. The incidence of ulnar collateral ligament reconstructions (UCLRs) in high-level players has increased dramatically over the past decade, but the optimal technique of UCLR is controversial. Surgeons need to manage the patients' expectations appropriately when considering the mode of treatment. This article reviews current studies on the management of ulnar collateral ligament injuries, particularly in overhead athletes.

Purpose: Rupture of a collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint is rare except in the thumb. The injured digit became flexed and deviated toward ulna side by the hypothenar intrinsic musculature. Incomplete rupture of a collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint can be often managed by splinting the affected digit in flexion position, however, in the case of complete tears that distraction of the ends of the ruptured collateral ligament is too great to allow repositioning by splinting. Primary repair of the ruptured collateral ligament or reattachment to bone by a pull-out wire, or tendon graft technique appears to be adequate. Methods: We report a case of instability of fifth metacarpophalangeal joint due to complete rupture of radial collateral ligament. This 18-year-old male presented pain in his right outstretched hand after trauma. The diagnosis was obtained by physical examination and simple radiography. Because of persistent instability after the initial conservative treatment, open reduction and repair surgical treatment was required. Results: The fifth metacarpophalangeal joint became free of pain and stable under forced lateral deviation. Postoperative results showed good metacarpophalangeal joint function and stability during 8 months follow-up period. Conclusion: Because of the interposition of the sagittal band between the ruptured ends of radial collateral ligament such as Stener-like lesion of the thumb, surgical repair of metacarpophalangeal joint collateral ligament of the finger was justified in case of complete laxity in full flexion.

In order to clarify spatial meaning of Meridian and Collateral theory(經絡學說) within the human body. Meridian Divergence(經別) was studied mainly on "Miraculous Pivot(靈樞) - Meridian Divergence section(經別篇)". Furthermore, the meaning of Meridian Divergence(經別) was investigated based on Symbolic Mathematical Study(象數學). Firstly, Meridian divergence(經別) is associated with brain and Viscera and Bowels(臟腑) which are located in the Central Palace(中宮, Zhong Gong). It draws that Meridian Divergence(經別) is a theory based on Nine Palace(九宮, Jiugong), the spatial theory of Symbolic Mathematical Study(象數學). In this system, Viscera and Bowels(臟腑) were included in Meridian and Collateral(經絡). Secondly, the Central Palace(中宮, Zhong Gong) imparts functionality to Nine Palace(九宮, Jiu Gong). Therefore, brain and Viscera and Bowels(臟腑) in Central Palace(中宮, Zhong Gong) supply Qi and Blood(氣血) to whole Meridian and Collateral(經絡) and also control each Meridian and Collateral(經絡) through Twelve Meridian Divergences(十二經別). Meridian and Collateral Theory(經絡學說) is the theory of Body space. The basic theory of Twelve Meridian Vessels(十二經脈), Three Yin and Three Yang(三陰三陽) signifies six areas of human body space. And Fifteen Collateral Vessels(十五絡脈) connect the six areas of the Twelve Meridian Vessles(十二經脈) through Six Harmonies(六合, liu He). In addition, Meridian Divergence(經別) is also based on Nine Palace(九宮, Jiu Gong). Thus, Meridian and Collateral(經絡) classifies and organically integrates the human body space that is filled with Qi and Blood(氣血) by applying the theories of Symbolic Mathematical Study(象數學). Recently presented Morphogenetic field hypothesis resembles Meridian and Collateral theory(經絡學說). However Meridian and Collateral theory(經絡學說) is considered to be the substantive concept that has relation to treatments based on Meridian points(經穴) which contain the spatial information of Meridian and Collateral theory(經絡學說).

Objective: Cerebral collateral circulation may affect subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) induced cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia. In this study our aim was to investigate the relationship between collateral status, vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in both aneurysmal and nonaneurysmal SAH. Methods: Patients diagnosed as SAH with and without aneurysm were included and their data investigated retrospectively. After the patients diagnosed as SAH according to cerebral computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), they underwent cerebral angiography to check for cerebral aneurysm. The diagnosis of DCI was made according to the neurological examination and control CT/MRI. All the patients had their control cerebral angiography on days 7 to 10 in order to assess vasospasm and also collateral circulation. The American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology (ASITN/SIR) Collateral Flow Grading System was modified to measure collateral circulation. Results: A total of 59 patients data were analyzed. Patients with aneurysmal SAH had higher Fisher scores and DCI was more common. Although there was no statistically significant difference between the patients with and without DCI in terms of demographics and mortality, patients with DCI had worse collateral circulation and more severe vasospasm. These patients had higher Fisher scores and more cerebral aneurysm overall. Conclusions: According to our data, patients with higher Fisher scores, more severe vasospasm, and poor cerebral collateral circulation may experience DCI more frequently. Additionally aneurysmal SAH had higher Fisher scores and DCI was seen more common. To improve the clinical results for SAH patients, we believe that physicians should be aware of the DCI risk factors.

This study aimed to investigate flow of defense qi(衛氣) through the relationship among the collateral meridians(絡脈), Pyobon(標本), Kika(氣街) and Geungyul(根結). The nutrient qi(營氣) and defense qi have a same origin and are transformed from the food and drink(水穀), the nutrient qi flows in the meridian(經脈) and the defense qi flows outside of the meridian. The defense qi flows in the collateral meridians where meridians divide into smaller ones. The beginnig of the collateral meridian division is called Bon(本) and the finishing point is called Pyo(標). The defense qi flows from Pyo(標) to outside of the collateral meridian which is called Kika and then flows to skins(皮膚) and muscles (肌肉). The defense qi enters the meridian at Geun(根) and it joins the other qi within the meridian at Gyul(結). In this study, we suggest that the collateral meridian, Pyobon, Kika and Geungyul are continuos pathways where the defense qi circulates.

The Meridian and Collateral Diagram is one of the most important 圖像s of Traditional Korean Medicine. A 圖像 is a picture made on a two-dimensional surface using lines and colors to portray an object or an image. Meridian and Collateral diagram is a 圖像 of the human body with indications of acupoints and meridian passageways and have different names such as 經穴圖, 輸穴圖, 鍼灸圖, 明堂圖, 銅人圖, in accordance with its classification. The documental basis of the Meridian and Collateral Diagram is the Internal Classic and the very first Meridian and Collateral Diagram confirmed through textual evidence can be found in 葛洪's "抱朴子 雜應". The Korean 동인도 in existence today, called '銅人明堂之圖', exists in two versions; a hand-copied version and a wooden engraving block version. It displays all the locations of the acupoints located on the anterior side of the human body, labels the names of the acupoints, and specifically distinguishes 起始穴 and 終止穴 of the eight meridian vessels.
