Primary cyst of the diaphragm is a rather uncommon disease. This is a report of a case of diaphragmatic cyst, located in the tendinous portion of the right diaphragm. The patient had no specific symptoms in the respiratory systems, but suffered from gastrointestinal symptoms [indigestion, epigastralgia, and loss of appetite etc.] for 2 months. Accidentally, on a simple chest x-ray examination, a round homogenous mass density was discovered. Tomography showed a well circumscribed parenchymatous mass. So a coin lesion in the medial segment of the right lower lobe was suspected. A thoracotomy was performed. There were no pathological findings in the lung and pleura. A ping-pong ball sized round mass, which was soft, elastic and fluctuated,was noted in the tendinous portion of the diaphragm. It was enucleated completely without diaphragmatic rupture, and diagnosed as a primary diaphragmatic cyst [fibrous-walled] by the histopathologic examination. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Glomus tumors of the lung are rare benign neoplasm, originating from modified smooth muscle cells. The patients are usually presented with no or non-specific symptoms such as cough, dyspnea or hemoptysis. Although surgical treatment is considered as the treatment of choice, the endobronchial therapy can be applied to the patients who are unfit for surgical excision. Herein, we describe two rare cases of glomus tumor originated at large airway (trachea and main bronchus) without respiratory symptoms and review their characteristic radiologic, macroscopic and pathological features.

Most solitary gastrointestinal (GI) polyps in children are either inflammatory or hamartomatous. Solitary hyperplastic polyp, sentinel polyp and solitary adenomatous polyp have been occasionally diagnosed in adults, but very rarely reported in Korean children. We recently came across a case with adenomatous polyp in the colon, a case with hyperplastic polyp beneath the gastroesophageal junction, a case with hyperplastic polyp in the prepyloric area, and a case with sentinel polyp in the distal esophagus, which are unusual pathologic types in children. These mucosal lesions were diagnosed incidentally during elective endoscopic examinations for GI symptoms. Most polyps do not cause significant symptoms, so the diagnosis might be delayed, especially in children, in whom GI endoscopy is not commonly performed for screening purpose as in the adults.

Plantar fasciitis is a common pathological condition of the foot and often be a challenge for clinicans to successfully treat. The purpose of this article is to present and discuss selected literature on the function and anatomy, causes, symptoms and clinical treating methods of plantar fasciitis. A majority of patients with plantar fasciitis present with either a pronated or a cave foot. Pain is usually localized to the plantar medial heel at the attachment of the plantar fascia to the calcaneus. Surgical and nonsurgical techniques have been used in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Nonsurgical management for the treatment of the symptoms and discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis can be classified into brod categories: reducing pain and inflammation. reducing tissue stress to a tolerable level, and restoring muscle strength and flexibility of involved tissue.

Objective: This study presents the case of a 74-year-old male patient with basal ganglia calcification suggestive of Fahr's disease and the effectiveness of Korean medicinal treatment. Methods: We treated this patient with traditional Korean medicine and measured symptom severity using the Numeral Rating Scale (NRS). Results: After treatment, most pathological symptoms had decreased, and there was a gradual decline in the NRS of patient's symptoms. Conclusions: Korean medicinal treatment can be a solution for patients with basal ganglia calcification.

Bacterial canker of sweet cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) was observed in farmers' orchard in Goesan, Chungbuk in 2003. Typical canker symptom occurred on the branches or twigs of sweet cherry in early spring and bacterial exudates oozed out of the cracked barks of diseased trees. Watersoaked brown symptom appeared on the leaves and severe infection caused thorough defoliation on the branches or twigs of sweet cherry. When cut the severely infected branches or twigs, irregular and rusty-colored symptoms in sapwood and heartwood were clearly found, indicating that they could serve as specific symptoms of bacterial canker of sweet cherry. The gram negative, aerobic bacterium isolated from the lesion produced fluorescent pigments on King's B agar medium but did not grow at 37$^{\circ}C$ The bacterium formed Levan-type colonies, and showed negative reactions in oxidase reaction, arginine dihydrolysis test, and pectolytic activity Based on the biochemical and pathological characteristics, the causal organism was identified as Pseudomonas syringae pv. morsprunorum. This is the first report on bacterial canker of sweet cherry in Korea.

Cubital tunnel syndrome refers to compression neuropathy caused by pressure on the ulnar nerve pathway around the elbow. A 63-year-old male patient visited the clinic complaining of decreased sensation and weakness in his left ring finger and little finger, stating that the symptoms first began 6 months prior. He had undergone surgery to remove a ganglion cyst from his left elbow joint about 5 years prior in Mongolia. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic mass located at the previous surgical site, which was compressing the ulnar nerve within the cubital tunnel. Ulnar nerve decompression and anterior transposition were performed, and the cystic mass was excised. Upon pathological examination, the mass was diagnosed as a ganglion cyst. The patient's symptoms including sensory dysfunction and weakness improved over the 1-year follow-up period. This report describes a rare case of ganglion cyst recurrence compressing the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel after previous ganglion cyst excision.

Review of literature on the symptoms of sweat. According to comparative studies of oriental and occidental medical literature on the symptoms of sweat, following results were obtained. 1. oriental medicine 1) time: ja han (自汗), do han (盜汗) 2) body : du han (頭汗), su jog han (手足汗), sim han (心汗), eum ban (陰汗) pyun hang (偏汗) 3) kan (肝) : hwang han (黃汗), sim(心) : sin han (心汗), hyul han(血汗), bee (脾) : sig hu han (腎虛汗) sin(腎) : eum han (陰汗) By the study of the oriental medical literature, sweat were concerned with physiological function and pathological transformation of the body, 2. occidental medicine 1) NO sweat of the whole body 2) NO sweat of the part 3) much sweat of the whole body, 4) much sweat of the part. By the study of the western medical literature, sweats were tiny reaction of the· nerve and the mind.

Pathological and anatomical studies on the cause of the crown gall like symptoms associated with the chestnut nurse grafts were undertaken. The crown gall bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, was isolated from the gall tissues of chestnut nurese grafts by using selective media developed by S초개소 et al. and kado and Heskett. Typical crown gall symptoms appeared on tomato, castor bean and geranium plants 10~21 days following inoculation with the bacterium isolated from the gall tissues of chestnut nurse grafts. Agrobacterium tumefaciens was reisolated from crown gall tissues of tomato, castor bean and geranium. Anatomical studies on the origin, growth and differentiation of the gall tissues of the chestnut nurse grafts confirmed that the gall tissues are of crown gall origin. Masses of Agrobacterium tumefaciens were observed from gall tissues of chestnut nurse grafts, so it could be confirmed that the crown gall symptoms prevalent on chestnut nurse grafts are caused by the crown gall bacterium, Agrobacterium tumefaciens.

From pathological view, Gwoleumbyeong(厥陰病) may be explained as extreme reduction of Gwoleumgyeonggi(厥陰經氣) due to immoderate Wihan(胃寒). Also, concerning regions of human body, Gwoleumbyeong has close relation to lower abdomen and genital, which are the origins of Gwoleum meridian[厥陰經]. Therefore, it is appropriate that the nature of Gwoleumbyeong be described as Hangeukyangul(寒極陽鬱), rather than Sangyeolhahan(上熱下寒), Hanyeolchakjap(寒熱錯雜). Sangyeolhahan, Hanyeolchakjap does not represent Gwoleumbyeong to the full extent, in a sense that the term views Hanyeol(寒熱) as two equal rank, whereas pathogenesis of Gwoleumbyeong depends on the sole extremity of Wihan(胃寒). The reason that the nature of sanghallon(傷寒論) be regarded as Sangyeolhahan, Hanyeolchakjap has been lying on the presupposition that whole symptoms of Hangwol (寒厥), Yeolgwol(熱厥), diarrhea[下利], vomiting[嘔吐] and hiccup, from "Gwoleumpyeon(厥陰篇)",may be categorized into Gwoleumbyeong. However, the symptoms described above do not show Gihwa(氣化) characteristic of Gwoleum(厥陰) and follow the regional distribution of Gwoleumbyeong, from which it can be pointed that those symptoms have no relation with Gwoleumbyeong. Ever since the theory of Yukgigihwa(六氣氣化) was used to comprehend and interpret "Sanghallon", Gwoleumbyeong has been thought as equivalence of Gwol(厥), which led to misunderstanding of Sangyeolhahan, Hanyeolchakjap. However, Gwoleumbyeong from "Sanghallon" has been argued in specific, through the historical practice of Sanghan(傷寒) as pathogen, particular state of meridian and correlation of meridian and Byeongjeung(病證).
