Purpose: The treatment of children mandibular condyle fracture that is severely displaced is controversial. The conservative treatment of it may lead to complications - mandibular deficiency, asymmetry, malocclusion and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Moreover, open reduction carries risks for growth retardation, facial nerve injury, scarring and joint stiffness. The aim of this article is to present an alternative technique of the treatment by using a threaded Kirschner wire and external rubber traction. Materials: From November 2005 to May 2008, three patients underwent the management by using a threaded Kirschner wire and external rubber traction. A threaded Kirschner wire was inserted in the condylar segment by using a C-arm. We applied the external rubber traction, and we reducted the segment progressively until complete reduction. The mandibular - maxillary fixations were removed after 3 weeks, and patients went into training for mouth opening. Results: The technique didn't result in complications - joint dysfunction, facial nerve injury, sore, infection and nonunion during follow - up period. Radiologic follow - up examinations revealed correct reduction in all patients. In all cases, we found restoration of preinjury occlusion and temporomandibular joint function. Conclusions: Closed reduction of children mandibular condyle fracture by using a threaded Kirschner wire and external rubber traction did achieve anatomic reduction and restore mandibular height. This alternative technique is simple, effective, inexpensive, easy to apply and minimally invasive.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate treatment efficacy and side effects of concomitant Aisu$^{(R)}$ (docetaxel) with three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy for the treatment of inoperable patients with esophageal cancer. Methods: Inoperable patients were treated with three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy (5/week, 2 GY/day, and total dose 60GY) plus docetaxel ($30-45mg/m^2$, iv, d1, 8). Results: Twenty eight patients met the study eligibility criteria and the response rate was evaluated according to RICIST guidelines. Among 28 patients, 2 achieved CR, 22 PR, 3 SD and 1 patient was documented PD. Mild gastrointestinal reaction and bone marrow suppression were also documented. All treatment related side effects were tolerable. Conclusion: Three-dimensional conformal external beam radiotherapy combined with docetaxel is an active and safe regimen for inoperable patients with esophageal cancer.

Objectives : This study is designed for analysis of trend and curative effect of Korean medicine for idiopathic external ophthalmoplegia. Methods : Research studies related to objectives were gathered through OASIS and KTKP and analyzed. Results : 21 case reports were selected. 5 korean medicine therapies, Herb, acupuncture, moxibustion, electroacupuncture, and pharmacopuncture, were executed. Restorative herb including Bojungikki-tang was frequently used in herb therapy. Facial and cephalic acupoints and non-facial, non-cephalic acupoints which individually differ were mostly simultaneously executed as acupuncture therapy. Also, moxibustion was partly performed. Electroacupuncture was carried out to affected area with electric stimulation at the strength of 1Hz and 4Hz. Hominis placental pharmacopuncture, 0.1cc or 0.5cc for each acupoint, was injected on disease area. After analyzing number of Korean medicine treatment and period of Korean medicine treatment from 21 case reports, the recovery period of idiopathic external ophthalmoplegia, 36.6 treatment session/36.69 days, was assessed to be more than one month shorter than previously known recovery period. Number of treatment sessions and treatment period for 11 cases when pharmacopuncture or electroacupunture was applied were 10/29, 35/29.96, which was 15 days shorter in terms of treatment period and 10 times less in terms of number of treatment sessions compared to cases when pharmacopuncture or electroacupunture was not applied. Conclusions : Korean medicine treatment can be effective for recovery of idiopathic external ophthalmoplegia.

Root resorption is conventionally divided into internal and external varieties. Internal resorption occurs where there is loss of the internal wall of the root canal. and is usually associated with a localized area of necrotic pulp(Trope '||'&'||' Chivian 1984). External resorption occurs where there is loss of the external surface of the root and the resorption may be either transient or progressive(Tronstad 1988). External inflammatory resorption usually occurs following damage to the periodontal ligament or where there is communication between the periodontal ligament and a necrotic pulp. via open dentinal tubules or accessory canals. This type of resorption is usually progressive until root canal treatment is instituted (Barclay 1993).

Objective This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of external washing therapy for seborrheic dermatitis based on randomized controlled clinical studies in China. Methods We used the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) as a data resource and conducted a search using the following key words: "Seborrheic Dermatitis" and "外洗" Seven randomized controlled clinical studies were identified and analyzed in this study. Results 1. The external washing treatment group showed significant changes in total efficiency, relapse rates, Quality of life, and Hamilton depression rating scale, compared with the control group. 2. The most commonly used herbal medicines were Sophorae Radix (苦蔘), Thujae Orientalis Folium (側柏葉), Impatiens balsamina L. (透骨草), Phellodendri Cortex (黃柏), and Stemonae Radix (百部根). Conclusions The results indicate that external washing treatment is effective for patients with seborrheic dermatitis. Futher research on external washing treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in the future may be useful.

To investigate changes of estrus signs and genital organs in the bitch by hormonal induction of estrus, fourteen bitches of nulliparous and multiparous(2nd-5th) were grouped into diestrus and anestrus according to their estrus cycle. The hormonal treatments were divided into four groups: group A($PGF_2{\alpha}+PMSG+hCG$) and group B(PMSG+hCG) in diestrus bitches and group C(GnRH+FSH+hCG) and group D(PMSG+hCG) in anestrus bitches. The external signs of proestrus and estrus as well as the vaginal smear findings and natural breeding as estrus detection were investigated in all the experimental groups. Also, genital organs were examined at two months after the hormone treatment. The bitches in anestrus showed 100% of male attraction, vaginal bleeding and vulvar swelling as proestrus signs after the hormonal treatment for estrus induction and they showed higher numerical value of signs than the bitches in diestrus. The group A showed the lowest value in proestrous signs of all the groups. The bitches in anestrus treated with GnRH+FSH showed 100% of positive estrus by vaginal smear findings and 75% of natural breeding as estrus detection index and these values were the highest of all the groups. Pregnancy was recognized in only group C and the conception rate was 7.14% in al the experimental animals. Of the side effects after the hormone treatment, external findings of continous male attraction, continous external swelling and purulent exudate were recognized in all the experimental groups and the bitches in diestrus showed higher value of the findings than the bitches in anestrus. Of the changes of genital organs after the hormone treatment, hypertrophy of uterine horn, sanguineous exudate and purulent exudate as uterine findings were recognized in all the groups and these findings were shown more in the bitches in diestrus than in those in anestrus. These results indicated that group C showed the highest value of all the experimental groups in external signs of estrus and estrus detection and also pregnancy was recognized only in that group, consequently, that the hormonal treatment of group C would be the most effective for estrus induction, and also indicated that bitches in anestrus were more suitable than bitches in diestrus for the induction of estrus. In addition, side effects in external genital organs and uteri after hormone treatment were shown more in the bitches in diestrus than in those in anestrus, indicating that bitches in anestrus would be of choice for estrus induction.
