Objective : In "Guanja" there is a clear system with xin and shengren as the central figure, which can be correlated with the united thought can be found in "Huangjenaegyeong". Method : In studying Oriental medicine, we will try to compare the Guanza and Huangjenaegyeong, in that what Sin is doing and how Seongin(聖人) does the work to achieve his prupose, and how Sin has philosophical meaning. Result : Guanja targets a unified government with the king centered, always issues an order, at the same time Guanja survey the system of the military, economy, retainer, people in the gross. In Guanja the Seongin is the ideal king, who understands the four seasons and command in timely, and rule his people using Muui(無爲). Sin is the center which achieve Dao(道) in mankind, and in the government system it is compared as the king to the rellation between king and retainer. "Huangjenaegyeong" is a medicine book which persued the united medical theory and algorithm. It made the general system algorithm, and united many different theories with the Seongin centered, who understand the 天氣 (including four seasons) and can control the human body. In this book, Sin is the center which control other organs. Conclusion : Political philoshphy in Guanja and the united thought in "Huangjenaegyeong" can be correlated in that two both aim for the systematization and the unity.

More than 30,000 Wooden Slips were excavated in the Juyan region in 1930s and 1970s. These slips recorded military actions of Juyan Frontier Fortress during Han dynasty, which is about BC 100 ~ AD 30. On the slips, there are many disease names and symptoms mentioned. We focused on a certain disease name, namely, Shnaghan(傷寒; injured by cold), which is the main subject of Shangha-lun(傷寒論). Looking closely into these Juan Wooden Slips, we found many articles recording Shanghan, including related diseases and symptoms, such as Shanghan(傷汗; injured by sweat), headache, fever and chills, immobilization of limbs, unacceptance of foods. And there are another Shanghan-related symptoms, such as inflation of upper-abdomen(心腹支滿), pain of upper abdomen(心腹痛), strain of both armpits(兩胠葥急), inflation of chest(胸脇支滿), tightness and fear in the chest(煩滿). Although they have no direct relationship with Shanghan, there are many symptoms, including the external wounds of waist, finger, thigh, back, breast and head, abscess of leg and elbow, sore throat, itching, leucorrhea, powerlessness of hands and legs(手足癃), visceral injury(傷臟), tinnitus, cold, warm and heat. Because the Wooden Slips are very short, with some characters even missing, we can not confirm the detail of the disease and symptoms. In addition, we will report about the herbal medicines and other treatments, which are recorded on the slips, by further research.

Objectives : To propose a feasible, valid and appropriate study designs and epidemiologic methods for evaluating the adverse health effects of Agent Orange-chemical defoliants used in Vietnam- in Korea. Methods : A literature study was peformed on Agent Orange, herbicides, pesticides and dioxins. The study subjects, study design, exposure assessment and health outcomes assessment were examined in each study. The potential data sources for the study subjects, study design, exposure assessment and health outcomes assessment in Korea were investigated. Results and Conclusion : In earlier Korean studies, research subjects for studying the effects of Agent Orange were identified from the patients or persons who claimed to have Agent Orange-related diseases due to the difficulties in identifying the entire population of Vietnam veterans in Korea. In this study, an attempt was made to identify the total number of Vietnam veterans in Korea. As a result, the addresses of 20,000 Vietnam veterans were obtained. It is proposed that a retrospective cohort design on a sample of the total number of Vietnam veterans is a feasible and appropriate study design. Self report questionnaires and military records were proposed to assess the exposure level. It is believed that measuring the plasma or tissue TCDD should be used only for a validation study assessing the level of exposure. For the health outcomes assessment, it is possible to obtain the mortality, cancer frequency, physical examination, screening and medical insurance record data.

항결핵제 치료 도중 병변이 악화되거나 새로 생기는 경우 일시적인 역설적 반응과 치료 실패를 감별하는 것이 중요하다. 역설적인 반응은 폐외 결핵, 특히 림프절과 중추신경계 결핵에서 잘 나타나는데 기존의 약제를 그대로 사용하더라도 일반적으로 잘 치유가 된다. 저자들은 속립성 폐결절이 항결핵제 투여 후 호전되고 있었으나 두개강내 결절은 오히려 악화된 소견을 보였지만 치료 약제를 변경하지 않았음에도 결국 치유된 역설적 반응을 경험하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.

Background: An independent medical examination (IME) is a critical process for awarding reparation for injury. However, conducting an IME in pain medicine is very difficult, not only because pain is a subjective symptom, but also because there are no proper objective methods to demonstrate it. This study was conducted to compare IME reports and the court decisions on the disability status of the patients. Methods: We analyzed 79 IME reports and 25 corresponding court decisions on the disability status of patients. The diagnoses, causal relationships between the patients' status and the trauma, McBride's degree of disability, the American Medical Association's impairment ratings, the estimated annual cost for future treatment, and the necessity of care-giving were compared and analyzed. Results: The diagnoses in the 79 cases were complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) type I (58 cases), CRPS type II (7 cases), peripheral neuropathy (5 cases), myofascial pain syndrome (4 cases), herniated intervertebral disc (2 cases), and fibromyalgia (1 case). The types of accidents were road traffic accidents (50 cases), military injuries (14 cases), industrial accidents (11 cases), and others (4 cases). The IME reports and the court decisions stated considerably different McBride's degrees of disability (P = 0.014). However, there was no significant difference in the estimated cost for future treatment between the IME reports and the court decisions (P = 0.912). Conclusions: IME reports should be accurate, fair, and based on objective findings. Feedback on IMEs from the court decisions is helpful for reference use.

Objectives: This study investigated the association between baseline exposures to particulate matter with a diameter <2.5 microns (PM_2.5) and subsequent temporal changes in PM_2.5 exposure with the incidence of type 2 diabetes among Royal Thai Army personnel. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using nationwide health check-up data from 21 325 Thai Army personnel between 2018 and 2021. Multilevel mixed-effects parametric survival statistics were utilized to analyze the relationship between baseline (i.e., PM_2.5-baseline) and subsequent changes (i.e., PM_2.5-change) in PM_2.5 exposure and the occurrence of type 2 diabetes. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were employed to assess this association while considering covariates. Results: There was a significant association between both PM_2.5 baseline and PM_2.5-change and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in a dose-response manner. Compared to quartile 1, the HRs for quartiles 2 to 4 of PM_2.5-baseline were 1.11 (95% CI, 0.74 to 1.65), 1.51 (95% CI, 1.00 to 2.28), and 1.77 (95% CI, 1.07 to 2.93), respectively. Similarly, the HRs for quartiles 2 to 4 of PM_2.5-change were 1.41 (95% CI, 1.14 to 1.75), 1.43 (95% CI, 1.13 to 1.81) and 2.40 (95% CI, 1.84 to 3.14), respectively. Conclusions: Our findings contribute to existing evidence regarding the association between short-term and long-term exposure to PM_2.5 and the incidence of diabetes among personnel in the Royal Thai Army.

배 경: 국내 결핵관리지침은 결핵 집단발병시 접촉자에 대하여 투베르쿨린 검사와 흉부단순촬영을 이용하여 활동성 결핵을 찾아내고 나머지 접촉자 중 HIV 양성자와 투베르쿨린 검사 양성인 6세 미만의 소아에 한하여 잠복결핵 치료를 시행하도록 되어있다. 국내외 연구에서 20대 초반의 젊은 연령층은 다른 연령대에 비하여 결핵 발병률과 잠복결핵으로 진행시 추후 활동성 결핵 발병률이 높다고 알려져 있어 이 집단에서의 결핵 집단발병시 현재의 지침이 적절한지는 의문이다. 본 연구는 한 부대에서 일어난 결핵유행에 대하여 국내 결핵관리지침에 따라 대응하고 잠복결핵이 포함된 나머지 접촉자들을 6개월간 추적 관찰한 결과이다. 방 법: 2005년 12월 총원 464명인 경기도 한 부대에서 결핵유행이 발생하여 연구 대상으로 선정하였다. 간접 흉부엑스레이촬영은 전 인원에 대하여 실시하여 활동성 여부를 판정하였고 투베르쿨린 검사는 408명에 시행하여 48-72시간 사이에 판독하였다. 투베르쿨린 검사는 환자당 1회 실시하였고 간접 흉부엑스레이촬영이나 투베르쿨린 검사가 음성이라도 결핵에 합당한 증상이 있으면 직접 흉부엑스선촬영과 객담 도말검사를 시행하였다. 결 과: 간접 흉부엑스레이촬영을 통하여 2명의 활동성 결핵환자를 발견하여 치료를 시작하였으나 2006년 4월에 신환 1명이 발생하고 이후 2006년 8월까지 3명의 환자가 추가로 발생하여 2005년 12월부터 8개월 동안 총 9명의 환자가 발병하였으며 이들은 모두 활동성 폐결핵이나 결핵성 흉막염 형태를 보였다. 밀접 접촉자와 기타 접촉자 사이의 투베르쿨린 검사결과를 비교할 때 경결의 절대적인 크기와 ($9.70{\pm}7.50mm$ vs. $6.26{\pm}7.02mm$, p= <0.001) 각각 10mm(50.0% vs. 32.0%, p= <0.001), 15mm(33.2% vs. 20.9%, p= 0.005) 이상인 환자 비율에서 의미 있는 차이를 보였다. 결 론: 20대 젊은 연령층이 집단으로 생활하는 공간에서 결핵유행이 발생하여 이를 국가 결핵관리지침에 따라 대응 하였지만 계속되는 환자 발생이 인지되어 현재의 국내지침 외에 추가적인 대책이 필요하리라 생각된다.

Most capitate fractures occur in association with additional carpal injuries, particularly scaphoid fractures. Isolated fractures of the capitate account for only 0.3% of carpal injuries, and stress fractures are one form of this fracture. We report the case of a 20-year-old male who had a stress fracture of the capitate after serving as an honor guard in the military. Conventional radiographs and computed tomography of the right wrist revealed a minimally displaced fracture line located at the midcarpal aspect of the right capitate. A magnetic resonance imaging scan demonstrates a subarticular capitate fracture with diffuse bone marrow edema, small osteophytes, and irregularity of the midcarpal articular cartilage. We also review the carpal kinematics which possibly caused the stress fracture. Although stress fractures of the capitate are rare, they should also be accounted for with patients who perform repetitive motions of the wrist to a considerable extent.
