The purpose of this study is to report the effects of electroacupuncture and bee venom (BV) acupuncture for a patient suffering with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy. There was a one patient who was diagnosed as idiopathic peroneal neuropathy and tibial neuropathy received electroacupuncture and BV acupuncture at acupoints on peroneal and tibial nerve pathway. The evaluation of clinical outcome was done by range of motion (ROM), manual muscle test (MMT), perimeter of lower leg, neuropathy pain scale (NPS). After treatment, the patient showed improvement in ROM and MMT. The patient's perimeter of lower leg was increased, NPS was decreased. This study suggests that the treatment of acupoints on the damaged nerve pathways could be an effective treatment for peripheral neuropathy, although further studies will be needed.

A 14-year-old male patient was referred to us for evaluation of Right TMJ clicking sound and mandibular deviation during mouth opening. On examinaaation, protrusion and lateral excursion was also restricted. Radiographs showed hook-like curved elongation of Right coronoid process with limitation o right condylar translation. His past medical and dental history was noncontributory. This patient underwent an extraoral coronoidectomy and the specimen revealed coronoid process malformation mimicking condylar head. Microcoically, the specimen discloses mature bony trabeculae. At postoperative 5 days, physical therapy was instituted. At present, this patient could open his mouth well with any clicking sound and mandibular deviation. The asymmetric face of this patient is expectated to be corrected by periodic observation and remained growth porential. If not to be corrected, orthognathic surgery will be done.

Wegener's granulomatosis is characterized by 3 criteria: 1. Necrotizing granulomas with vasculitis of upper and lower respiratory tracts 2. A systemic vasculitis 3. Focal necrotizing glomerulitis. This disease is one of the nonhealing disease in the otolaryngologic and ophthalmologic fields. A 48years old Korean male patient was seen with the complaints of nasal discharge, foul odor and frequent nasal bleeding. The patient was admitted after biopsy of the nasal cavity which diagnosed tuberculous granuloma, for biopsy of the maxillary sinus. After biopsy by Caldwell-Luc's approach this patient was complained with severe headache, visual impairment and cough. And so this patient was readmitted for further evaluation. Generally, the diagnosis was made after autopsy sometimes several years later after reevaluation of the case. Tuberculous granuloma was the pathological diagnosis on the basis of resected material in various cases. The correct diagnosis was made at autopsy occasionally. It is our intention to present this case with. literature review.

The purpose of this study is for development textile design and making fabric actually for dementia patients hospital clothing using symbol which has social care meaning. For achievement the aim, process and research methods were as follows. First the symbol design was developed. Second the symbol was applied as textile design for dementia patients hospital clothing. Symbol design was under processed with a letter 'Alzheimer' and meanings as like 'love', 'happiness' 'care' 'hope' and 12 design samples were developed by CAD and photoshop. Total 15 evaluation members chose 2 design samples. The 2 design sample were practically arrangement 7 textile design pattern with ground different colors. And finally 3 design pattern and 3 colorway were selected and add white ground. Totally 7 textile design was printed on 100% cotton, 20 yarn count, 1/2 twill. Therefore this new textile design for dementia patient's hospital clothing can be used in medical clinically and the symbol can be use for daily care item for the patients more comfort and high quality in their lives in hospital.

A 50-year-old female patient with visual disturbances was referred for further evaluation of a heart murmur. Fundoscopy revealed a Roth spot in both eyes. A physical examination showed peripheral signs of infective endocarditis, including Osler nodes, Janeway lesions, and splinter hemorrhages. Our preoperative diagnosis was subacute bacterial endocarditis with severe aortic regurgitation. The patient underwent aortic valve replacement and was treated with intravenous antibiotics for 6 weeks postoperatively. The patient made a remarkable recovery and was discharged without complications. We report this case of subacute endocarditis with all 4 classic peripheral signs in a patient who presented with visual disturbance.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a scale measuring the Patient-Centered Nursing Culture (PCNC) and provide a basic tool to improve PCNC in Korea. Methods: A conceptual framework and construct factors were extracted through extensive literature review and in-depth interviews with nursing professionals. In total, 59 items were derived based on the pilot survey. Data were collected from 357 nurses working at general hospitals and analyzed for verifying the reliability and validity of the scale. Results: Nine factors containing 54 items were extracted from the exploratory factor analysis to verify the construct validity. The nine factors were top management leadership, policy and procedure, education and training, middle management leadership, supportive teamwork, nursing workplace environment, professional competence, patient-centered nursing activity, and nurses' values. These items were verified by convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity testing. The internal consistency reliability was acceptable (Cronbach's ${\alpha}=.96$). Conclusion: The developed PCNC scale is expected to be used as the tool for the development of theory and improvement of PCNC, the empirical testing for cause and effect of PCNC, the development of interventions, education and training programs for improving PCNC, and indicators for evaluation or accreditation of hospital service quality.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to report the clinical results of various medical methods (including Chuna joint mobilization) used to treat a single patient with polyneuritis. Methods : We treated a 46 year-old female patient diagnosed with polyneuritis using various methods, including acupuncture, moxibustion, infrared therapy, herbal medication, Western medication, Chuna manual therapy, and physical therapy. We evaluated the results using the numeric rating scale (NRS), manual muscle test (MMT), active range of motion (ROM), modified barthel index (MBI). Other evaluation scale included Deep tendon reflex and thickness of muscle especially forearm and lower leg. Results : Following treatment using a combination of the above methods, the general overall condition of the patients was significantly improved. Furthermore, the NRS, MMT, MBI, and the active ROM scores were numerically improved. Conclusions : In this case, a single patient with polyneuritis was treated using a combination of Korean and Western medical methods. Although this study provides useful insight into treatment methods, further studies are required to determine the treatment effects of Korean medicine, specifically Chuna manual therapy, in patients with polyneuritis.

In a patient with blunt abdominal trauma with small bowel injury, early diagnosis is clinically challenging due to unclear clinical symptoms and signs in the early stage of an injury. On the other hand, a delay of diagnosis of bowel disruption may lead to increased complication and mortality. The diagnostic laparoscopy is very useful for the evaluation of the small bowel injury. Laparoscopy can reduce unnecessary open surgery in a patient with blunt abdominal trauma with subtle symptoms and imprecise findings on abdominal computed tomography. Also it can prevent delay of treatment and be converted immediately to open surgery as soon as bowel damage is revealed. Furthermore, extracorporeal repair of small bowel via mini-laparotomy after a single incision diagnostic laparoscopy in a patient with traumatic small bowel perforation was a feasible and safe alternative to conventional laparoscopy. We are pleased to introduce successfully treated cases by extracorporeal repair of small bowel via mini-laparotomy after a single incision diagnostic laparoscopy in a patient with small bowel perforation after blunt trauma.
