Objectives : The object of this study is to report the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment and to urge in-depth research on plantar fasciitis. Methods : Four patients, diagnosed as plantar fasciitis, were treated by Korean medicine interventions; acupuncture at K13, BL60, BL40, indirect moxibustion at local region, oral intake herbal medicine and Korean physical therapy on plantar fascia. Visual analog scale(VAS) was adpoted as a method of measuring the effect of treatment on plantar pain. Results : As a result, the plantar pain decreased and VAS score was declined at three cases. However, at one case, the symptom was not changed and VAS score was same. Conclusions : Korean rehabilitative complex therapy can be effectively used for plantar fasciitis. Further studies are needed to set up a rehabilitation protocol with Korean medicine interventions on this disease.

Surgical treatment for afferent loop syndrome (ALS) in patients with recurrent gastric cancer is usually not feasible because of the recurrent tumor mass at the anastomosis site and/or extensive carcinomatosis resulting in bowel loop fixation. Furthermore, ALS usually makes oral intake impossible, resulting in a rapid deterioration in general condition. In this situation, gastroscopic stenting at the anastomotic site and/or percutaneous external drainage may be a more feasible alternative for palliation. We herein report a recurrent gastric cancer whose ALS was successfully treated with internal and external drainage procedures.

We experienced a series of animal experimental studies of the total artificial heart in 1988. So called, "Korean Heart* was used in this study, which is developed and fabricated in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Med., S.N.U.. "Korean Heart" is a Rolling-Cylinder Motor-Driven type which is a newly developed electromechanical heart over the shortcomes of the previous artificial hearts, especially pneumatic type. The advantages of the "Korean Heart" are total implantability, quiet and smooth movement, small size fittable in oriental people, etc. The animal experiments were performed two times, as an assist device in sheep and total artificial heart implant experiment in calf weighing 100 kg. After total implantation, the artificial heart was well functioned in movement and hemodynamic control. So that, the calf was recovered excellently, which was able to stand up by herself and take an oral intake. Total survival time was 100 hours and the cause of death was a sudden pumping failure [electrical connection problem]. Several postoperative laboratory results almost within normal limits and no hemolysis, but in autopsy, the multiple thromboembolic findings were seen at the lung and kidney.n at the lung and kidney.

This study was to evaluate oral toxicity of meat originated from cloned cows in 7-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats. The meats were mixed with 2%, 10%. and 50% in basal diet and were fed to SD rats for 28 days, respectively. There were no changes in clinical signs, blood and urine analyses, change of body weight, and feed intake or water consumption in all animals treated with the meat mixtures.(omitted)

In this study, coffee was shown to effectively inhibit L6 muscle cell death and ATP reduction induced by hydrogen peroxide damage. Additionally, two weeks of oral administration of 7 mg/kg coffee extracts to mice resulted in a 33% increase in treadmill running time relative to that seen in the distilled water administered group. Blood analysis showed decreased lactate content, which was increased by exercise. Thus, these data suggest that coffee intake may enhance exercise capacity and inhibit damage due to excessive exercise.

Hyaluronic acid(HA) is a naturally occurring mucopolysaccharide composed of the repeating disaccharide unit of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. HA exists as a high molecular weight polymer in the extracellular matrix of many tissues in the body. HA has been widely used not only for osteoarthritis and ophthalmology but also for cosmetics for skin care. Recently HA has drawin much attention for use in health foods. Bioland Corporation started production of HA t1y biotechnological process in 1990 for cosmetical use. At present Bioland produces HA for cosmetic and food use. We have done many researches to evaluate the helpful effect for skin and safety of HA as food. In order to evaluate the effect of HA on the skin after its oral intake, we measured its bioavailability, skin-care effects on anti-wrinkle, moisturization elasticity and desquamation by clinical trial. The results showed that HA is very safe and could bs helpful to improve anti-wrinkling, moisturization, elasticity, and desquamation on the skin.

Background: Hypoglycemia is uncommon in people without diabetes. There have been only a few reports of cardiac arrest in conjunction with hypoglycemia in non-diabetic patients. Case Report: A 66-year-old man visited the emergency room with dizziness. He was a chronic alcoholic. Laboratory test showed no evidence of diabetes mellitus. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a left cerebellar infarction. Abdomen computed tomography demonstrated liver cirrhosis with minimal ascites. During his hospital stay, he consumed only a small amount of food because of nausea and headache. On hospital day 4, he had a cardiac arrest after two seizure episodes. His blood glucose was 10 mg/dL. The combination of liver cirrhosis, renal failure and poor oral intake was presumed to be the causes of the severe hypoglycemia. Conclusion: We report a rare case of cardiac arrest occurring in conjunction with severe hypoglycemia in a non-diabetic patient with cerebral infarction.

Herein, we describe the case of a 20-year-old woman who presented with dysphagia of 2 months' duration associated with vomiting, moderate abdominal pain, decreased oral intake, and significant weight loss. During the past 3 years, the patient experienced intermittent mild abdominal pain with infrequent vomiting. Endoscopy at Jordan University Hospital showed a mass in the esophagus, and endoscopic biopsies were performed. The preliminary histopathological report excluded malignancy. Two days after endoscopy, the patient presented to the emergency department complaining of severely worsening pain and total dysphagia. The pain persisted despite intravenous paracetamol administration, which was concerning for esophageal perforation; therefore, an urgent surgical intervention was performed. The mass was removed surgically, along with a para-esophageal lymph node. The final histopathological results of the endoscopic and resected specimens supported the diagnosis of pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMHE). This is the first case reporting esophageal involvement of PMHE.

본 연구는 중학생의 구강건강실태를 파악하고 인식 및 행위를 알아봄으로써 지역사회의 구강건강 문제를 확인하고, 구강보건사업을 효율적으로 진행하는데 도움을 주고자 화성시 14개 중학교 1학년 총662명을 대상으로 조사하였으며, 그에 대한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 중학생의 치아상태 검사결과 건전치율이 83.22%로 아직까지 건전한 구강환경을 갖고 있었으며, 치아우식증관련 지표 산출결과에서는 우식경험영구치지수가 평균 2.0이었으며, 여자가 2.2로 남자 1.7보다 높았다. 2. 자가구강건강상태를 알아본 결과 남학생은 22%, 여학생은 10.9%가 건강하다고 생각하고 있었으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이고 있다(p = .000). 3. 치아청결 습관에서 여학생이 남학생보다 잇솔질 닦는 횟수가 많았으며, 점심식사 후 잇솔질을 하지 않는 이유로는 남학생, 여학생 모두 잇솔, 치약 등 가지고 다니기 귀찮아서가 가장 높았다(p = .000). 치실 사용은 비슷한 비율을 보이고 있으나 인지여부는 여학생이 높게 나타났다. 4. 간식섭취 습관은 남학생의 경우 1회(42.1%)와 2~3회(31.3%) 순이었으며, 여학생의 경우 '먹지 않았다'(34.5%)와 2~3회(25.1%) 순을 보였다. 주된 간식으로 과자, 케익 사탕류가 두 집단에서 가장 높았으며 다음으로 야채, 과일이라도 답하였다. 5. 치과치료에 대한 느낌으로 '내일 치과에 간다면 기분은?'이란 질문에 남, 여학생 모두'별다른 느낌이 없다', '약간 불안하다' 순으로 나타났다. '치료받기 위해 기다릴 때 기분은?'이라는 질문에 두 집단 모두 '많이 긴장된다', '약간 불안하다' 순으로 답하였으며, '치과진료의자에 누워 있을 때 기분은?'이라는 질문에 '긴장된다'는 답이 가장 많았다. '스케일링을 받기위해 치과 진료의자에 누워있을 때 기분은?'이라는 질문에 대부분 긴장되고 약간 불안하게 느끼고 있었다.
