Real-world accident cases were investigated to understand injury characteristics of the elderly driver. A total 10 cases of car-to-car frontal crash accidents from passenger car including SUV claimed to domestic car insurance company were reviewed. The injury characteristics of the elderly were analyzed from personal information (gender, age), medical treatment record (medical certificate, curative days), vehicle information (model, air-bag, seatbelt) and damage information. This study showed that elderly driver has higher possibility of thorax injury than non-elderly's. Moreover, Injury type and severity were more severe than non-elderly driver at similar type accident conditions. Also, elderly driver's medical treatment period needs 3 times more than non-elderly driver's.

The cavernous hemangioma often occur on the skin and mucosal surfaces of the body, but are also found in many viscera, particularly the liver, spleen, pancreas and occasionally in the brain. But it is rarely encountered in the mediastinum, but when found occur predominantly in the anterior mediastinum. It can occur in any age and have no characteristic symptoms or roentgenographic findings including angiocardiography. Inspite of its histologic benignancy, it may be locally invasive and can result in rib erosion or adjacent structural compression. Usually, surgical exploration is not only the sole means of assuring a diagnosis and the only treatment. Recently, we experienced one case of cavernous hemangioma in the anterior mediastinum, which was removed surgically, being proved to be cavernous hemangioma on histologic examination. Related literatures were reviewed.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that affects mainly the aorta, main aortic branches, and pulmonary arteries. Diverse neurological manifestations of TA have rarely been reported in children. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neuroradiological condition that presents with headache, seizure, visual disturbances, and characteristic lesions on imaging. Inflammatory condition and severe hypertension in TA can cause PRES. We report of a 5-year-old girl with presumed TA who presented with PRES and chronic total occlusion in the renal artery. The findings on magnetic resonance imaging suggested PRES. Left nephrectomy was performed for total occlusion of the left renal artery, and the confirmatory diagnosis of TA was based on the pathologic findings of the renal artery.

Ijema's four constitution theory is the result of creative succession which is originated from the "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)", and shaped up as "Sanghanron(傷寒論)", the key of Ijema's theory would be the re-explnation of the Sameum-Samyang pattern identification. therefore, we should recognize that the four constitution theory is related to the Sameum-Samyang identification of "Sanghanron(傷寒論)". And is even on the mutual supporting relation. from this point of view, the "Dong-uisusebowon(東醫壽世保元)" could be valuated as a commentary of "Sanghanron(傷寒論)" which shows us that how to review the Sameum-Samyang identification as the point of characteristic of four constitution theory.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a disease reported to account for 1% of all cancers and 10% of hematological malignant diseases. Unlike other malignant diseases that are transferred to the osseous tissues, MM does not show new bone formation, is associated with characteristic osteolytic lesions, and shows monoclonal protein (M-protein) on the immunohematological test, which is an important index in its diagnosis. Solitary lesions of MM are rare in the head and neck area, and, in most cases, MM of the head and neck area is related to systemic sympomts.

As the ensemble averaged dZ/dt signal during exercise is smoothed, it is difficult to find the distinctive marks. The cross correlation function was made use of estmating these marks. LVET was calculated based on the calculated parameters of the characteristic points. For the accuracy validation, LVET calculated by hand, by the ensemble average and the cross correl at ion were compared.

In this paper, the overall contents of InJo's disease centering on the records from Chosun Dynasty's Official Records were examined. As a result, it was elucidated that the fundamental cause had lied in internal injuries of the Spleen and Stomach. The reason behind the constant change from fever to chills that agonized InJo the most lied not so much in external hazards as much in the injuries of the Spleen and Stomach. The treatment for InJo focused more on acupuncture methods than herbal medicine, which is thought to be characteristic of mid-Chosun Dynasty starting from the times of prior king SunJo or GwangHaeGun.

The development of delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH) reaction to Staphylococcus aureus in mice was studied, Mice received 3 injections of $10^8$ viable S. aureus subcutaneously showed a marked footpad swelling when mice were challenged with $10\;{\mu}g$ staphylococcal protein antigen into footpad(The percent increase of footpad thickness at 24 h after challenge wsa 35% approximately). Histological observation of footpad of immunized mice showed a marked thickness of subcutaneous tissue due to edematous reaction and massive infiltration of lymphocytes and neutrophils which are characteristic cells in DTH reaction. Intensity of DTH reaction of mice immunized with viable bacteria was much higher than that of mice immunized with staphylococcal protein or heat-killed bacteria. The DTH reaction to S. aureus could be transferred to normal recipient mice by both spleen cells and lymph node cells.

Muscular involvement in Behcet's disease is rare manifestation in spite of basic characteristic that is vasculitis can invade multi-organ of the entire body. A few cases has been announced involving the lower extremities, the arm and generalized weakness. Like our case, myositis involving the masticatory muscles with clinically diagnosed Behcet's disease was presented with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical findings, which is, not yet documented in the literature.
