Background: Trigeminal neuralgia is a debilitating craniofacial pain syndrome that is characterized by paroxysms of intense, short-lived electric shock-like pains in the trigeminal nerve distribution. Recently, the presence of triggers has become one of the key diagnostic criteria in the 3rd edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders. Light touch is the most common trigger, however other non-mechanical triggers, such as cold weather and certain foods, have been thought to provoke trigeminal neuralgia anecdotally. We aimed to characterize the prevalence and characteristics of these atypical triggers. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional study of atypical triggers in trigeminal neuralgia patients seen in a tertiary pain clinic in Singapore. Patients were recruited via clinic records, and study data were identified from physician documentation. Results: A total of 60 patients met the inclusion criteria. Weather triggers were observed in 12 patients (20%), of which five patients (8%) reported strong winds, 4 patients (7%) reported cold temperatures, and 3 patients (5%) reported cold winds as triggers. Fifteen patients (25%) had a specific food trigger, of which 10 patients (17%) reported hard or tough food, 5 patients (8%) reported hot/cold food, 4 patients (7%) reported spicy food, and 2 patients (3%) reported sweet food as triggers. Conclusions: Although trigeminal neuralgia is most commonly triggered by mechanical stimuli, atypical triggers such as cold temperatures and certain foods are seen in a significant proportion of patients. These atypical triggers may share a common pathway of sensory afferent Aδ fiber activation.

The n-3 family fatty acids containing ${\alpha}$-linolenic acid(18:3, ALA) have been known as physiological activation materials such as inhibitory effects on the incidence of hyper-tension, coronary heart disease and cancers as well as the control of senilc dementia. Although a lot of ALA(about $63\%$) are contained in perilla oil, it has not been commercialized yet because the purification technique of the ALA has not been well established. The procedure of purification of ALA from perilla oil was saponified with 1 N-KOH /ethanol and then saturated and low level unsaturated fatty acids were removed by low-temperature crystallization method. The concentrated unsaturated fatty acids (containing about $75\%$ ALA) went down through the silver nitrate-impregnated silica column chromatography for separation of high purity of ALA. The results obtained we Fraction B, C and D contained ALA more than $85.5\%$(recovery, >$88.9\%,\;95.4\%$(recovery, >$54.4\%$) and $99.9\%$(recovery, >$31.5\%$) in purity, respectively. Seed oil content of the tested varieties were ranged from 34.8 to $54.1\%$ with $45.3\%$ of varietal means. The major omega fatty acids contained in the oil were oleic acid(n-9) $15.2\%$, linoleic acid(n-6) $13.9\%$ and linolenic acid(n-3) $63.1\%$ in the mean value. Varietal variation of n-9, 6 and 3 fatty acids ranged of $9.5\~21.4\%,\;9.1\~20.4\%$ and $50.6\~70.5\%$ respectively. Unsaturated fatty acid were averaged $92.2\%$ of seed oil in fatty acid composition. The ratios of n-6 to n-3 ranged of $0.13\~0.34\%$($0.22\%$ in mean value). The highest n-3 fatty acid variety was Yecheonjong being $70.5\%$. The lowest variety in ratios of n-6 to n-3 was Goseongjong being $0.13\%$. Oil content showed positive correlation with stearic acid and linolenic acid, while the negative correlation with oil content and linoleic acid. On the other hand, A significant negative correlation were showed between linolnic acid and the ratios n-6/n-3 fatty acid, saturated fatty acid. Saturated fatty acid was highly correlated with unsaturated fatty acid negatively being $r= -0.723^{**}$.

목적 : 이 연구는 MPTP 유발 파킨슨병 동물 모델에서 봉독약침의 신경보호 효과 및 항염증 효과를 확인하기 위해 시행되었다. 방법 : C57BL/6 mice에 신경독소인 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)를 하루에 2시간 간격으로 MPTP-HCl(20mg/kg per dose)을 4번 복강 내 주입하여 중뇌 흑질의 도파민 신경세포를 파괴한 파킨슨병 동물 모델을 유발하였다. 실험군은 MPTP군, MPTP 현종 BVA군, MPTP 곡지 BVA군, MPTP 신수 BVA군의 4군으로 하였다. 마지막 MPTP 투여 2시간 후에 1차로 봉독약침을 시술하고, 그 후 48시간 간격으로 총 5차 연속 시술하였다. 봉독약침액의 농도는 0.2mg/Kg으로 하였고, 경혈은 양측 현종($GB_{39}$), 곡지($LI_{11}$), 신수($BL_{23}$)를 사용했고, 주입량은 각 경혈당 양측으로 각 $20{\mu\ell}$씩 주입하였다. 항염증작용을 알아보기 위해 TH, MAC-1, iNOS HSP70을, 세포사멸에 대한 신경세포의 보호효과를 알아보기 위해 caspase-3을 면역조직화학법을 사용하여 실시하였다. 결과 : 실험 결과 MPTP 유발 파킨슨병 동물 모델에서 현종 곡지 신수혈에 대한 봉독약침은 TH-Immunoreactivity neuron의 감소와 microglial activation을 억제하였다. 봉독약침군 모두 효과를 보였으나 그 중 현종과 신수혈에서 특히 억제작용이 컸다. MAC-1에서는 현종혈이 억제작용이 컸다. HSP70-IR neuron은 곡지에서 유의한 억제작용을 보였으나, iNOS neuron은 모든 군에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 세포사멸억제여부 실험에서 봉독약침은 모두 억제작용을 보였으나 특히 곡지자침군에서 caspase-3 발현을 유의하게 억제하였다. 결론 : 이러한 결과는 봉독약침이 MPTP 투여로 인한 중뇌 흑질의 염증에 의한 도파민 신경세포 손상을, 염증을 억제함으로써 항염 효과를 나타냄을 알 수 있으며, 신경세포를 보호하는 활성이 있음을 보여줌과 동시에 세포사멸을 억제하는 활성이 있다고 사료된다.

Nucler factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) 프로모터는 염증성 질환을 유도하는 호염증성 시토카인의 발현에 중요한 역할을 수행하는 전사인자 중의 하나이다. 본 실험에서는 200 여종의 식물추출물들로부터 항염효능이 있는 추출물을 선발하기 위해 NF-kappaB 리포터 실험을 수행하였다. NF-kappaB 리포터 실험결과, 12종의 식물추출물, 즉 개나리, 고추잎, 박하, 뱀딸기, 뽕나무, 삼백초, 솔잎, 양애줄기, 약쑥, 어성초, 왕벚꽃가지, 조릿대 등이 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)에 의해 유도된 NF-kappaB 프로모터 활성을 농도의존적으로 억제하는 것을 확인하였다. 이들 12종의 식물추출물이 호염증성 시토카인 발현에도 동일한 효과를 나타내는지 알아보기 위해 tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha)와 인터루킨-8에 대한 ELISA실험을 실시하였다. ELISA실험 결과, NF-kappaB 리포터 실험결과와 동일하게, TNF-alpha와 인터루킨-8 생산이 12종 식물추출물 모두에서 감소됨을 관찰하였다. 이러한 실험결과는, 12종의 식물 추출물에서 보여지는 호염증성 시토카인 억제효과가 NF-kappaB 프로모터 활성억제를 통해 이루어지고 있음을 시사한다. 또한, 이들 12종 식물은 diphenyl-p-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay를 통해 살펴본 결과 높은 항산화 활성도 있음을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과로부터, 12종의 식물 추출물은 염증성 피부질환 전용 화장품 제형에서 항염 및 자극완화 소재로 응용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Since 1992, conventional fire fighting businesses have been converted into a metropolitan autonomous fire fighting system to be ready for a variety of disasters. However, the corresponding investment has been overlapped due to the non-integration of businesses to prevent any potential disasters, and a series of collaborative systems have been not functioning so well. In the meantime, our fire fighting sector has been trying to set up its own clean and faithful position by abolishing any inconvenient system or outsourcing private sectors, and expanded its work scope from conventional fire fighting even to rescue and emergency works. While focusing on handling disaster, the fire fighting sector has been widely trusted and reliable throughtout our nation. Moreover, our fire fighting sector has secured nation wide mobile organizations, technical personnel by field, special equipments and independent communication network. In addition, the fire fighting sector has knowledges, expertise and capabilities required for managing disasters, while in charge of almost every disaster management works including fire, explosion, collapse, disaster and flood. It becomes an organization for comprehensive disaster management under an absolute national trust, which is based on the system for prevention, preparation and countermeasure against a variety of disasters. Thus, our fire fighting sector must make many efforts and try to modernize conventional education and training. The ways to facilitate rescue and emergency works may include the nurture of technical fire fighting personnel along with modernized equipments, the reinforcement of rescue and emergency education, the facilitation of operating civil defense corps, the facilitation of operating volunteer fire fighting corps, the better arrangement of 119 briefing room for public healthcare in provincial offices, the sterilization of rescue instruments and equipments the better repair education for emergency rescue member, the establishment of regional emergency assistant system and the expansion of fire fighting personnel and equipments. In terms of reinforcing the functions and services of rescue 119 and emergency corps, we must review the following considerations: Building up security system along with operational expansion, building up a system for emergency medical treatment, building up a comprehensive information management system for rescue and emergency, constructing a provincial safety museum and so forth. For the ways to better the works of rescue 119 we can review the following considerations : Improving the education for fire fighting training corps under Jeju Provincial Fire and Disaster Management Department, providing rescue members with more opportunities for clinical practices, enhancing the morale of rescue members, installing a comprehensive briefing room for emergency rescue members, building up medical networks along with reasonable policies for information service, operating the consulting system for rescue 119 and so on. If these requirements are met, it is expected that the fire fighting departments in Jeju province can cope with every accident and disaster a little more rapidly and quickly in compliance with local needs, so that they can keep their own position as a public fire fighting organization which may be trusted by the public.

In order to investigate the changes in the temperature regulation mechanism following ingestion of red pepper, twenty healthy man were given 2 gms of powdered red pepper each in 100 ml of water at room temperature, $20^{\circ}C$, Simultaneous recordings of temperature and electrical resistance of the skin of forehead were taken by means of Physiograph, using appropriate transducers. Temperature of various spots such as the cheek, upper tack and the forearm was also measured by the telethermometer at interval of two minutes. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Seventeen out of 20 subjects showed immediate rise in the skin temperature of the forehead, and 11 of them manifested the oscillating pattern of the skin temperature. The average of the largest peak amplitude was $0.58{\pm}0.355^{\circ}C$. 2. Even those who failed to show the immediate rise in the temperature did not keep the quiescence over 9 minutes, and delayed responses were revealed. 3. The rise in tile skin temperature is the favourable sign for the heat discipating mechanism only because the sweat glands are activated with the concomittant rise in the temperature of the skin. 4. There was a preceding or coincide fall in the electrical resistance of the skin, and it was also attributed to the glandular activity. 5. At rather cool room temperature, $20^{\circ}C$, no visible sweat was seen during the period of observation. Nevertheless it was obvious that latent activation of the sweat glands was triggered and the. threshold was lowered. This situation imitates the acclimatized condition in the hot environment, and it is likely to increase the tolerance in tropical climate from the view point of temperature regulation.
