광변색렌즈는 자외선 조사를 받아 무색의 렌즈가 유색의 렌즈로 변하는 렌즈다. 이 렌즈는 백내장의 원인이기도 하는 자외선-B로부터 눈을 보호할 수 있으며 차단율 70~80%를 갖는 선글라스로 이용될 수 있다. 표면코팅기술을 접목하여 광투과율이 70%를 유지하고 색의 변화주기를 5분이내로 하는 청색, 녹색, 갈색, 보라색, 노랑색 등의 여러 색상의 광변색렌즈를 개발하였다. 이 렌즈는 100%의 부착력과, 4~5H의 경도, 탁월한 내약품성, 내마모성 및 내열성을 보였다. 여러 가지 원인으로 눈부심을 호소하는 광시증 환자 65 명을 대상으로 순천향대학병원 안과에서 임상시험을 하였다. 임상시험 한 결과 현저하게 눈부심이 감소하였고 시력보호의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 LASIK수술환자에서는 야간의 눈부심 방지효과가 좋았다. 광변색렌즈는 자외선-B와 청색광을 차단하여 백내장과 노인성 황반변성 등의 빛과 관련된 눈의 손상을 줄여 시력보호를 할 수 있으며 임상결과로부터 광시증 환자의 치료와 예방을 위한 새로운 기술이 될 수가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

As migraine pain represents a substantial personal and social burden worldwide, there has been a great deal of effort in developing a screening instrument for migraine. Lipton et al(2003) developed and validated the ID Migraine questionnaire, which is a self-administered screener for migraine in primary care, and it is brief and easy to use for a primary care provider. The aim of this study was to determine if the ID Migraine questionnaire could be applied successfully to assess the headache patients with temporomandibular disorders(TMD) and orofacial pain. This study found that nausea, photophobia and headache-related disability had the highest individual sensitivities and specificities, and the performance of the three-item screener was equivalent to that reported in a previous study. Although the sensitivity of the three-item screener in this study (0.58) was lower than in a previous study (0.81), the specificity (0.98) was higher and the positive predictive value was 93.9%. This suggest that the ID Migraine questionnaire is very efficient in this setting. In conclusion, the ID Migraine questionnaire, which is a three-item screener consisting of nausea, photophobia and headache-related disability, is effective as a self-administered report for detecting migraine headaches in patients with temporomandibular disorders(TMD) and orofacial pain.

Allergic Rhinitis is specified by three symptoms such as sternutation, rhinorrhea and rhinanchon. Besides these three major symptoms, it is characterized by sternutation, frontal headache, photophobia and epiphora. The allergic rhinitis occurs when inhaled allergen is in contact with nasal mucosa, which causes immune response. And Tonguetangmi is one of the most frequently used medical treatment for the allergic rhinitis. A study on the 20 patients with allergic rhinitis who took Tonguetangmi a year ago shows that the oral medication for 10 days of Tonguetangmi for an adult who has allergic rhinitis less than one year results in the best efficiency of the remedy.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of EC102, a composition containing oriental medicine, for relieving VDT syndrome, including eye symptoms and musculo-skeletal symptoms. Methods: The study was conducted by using a double blind randomized controlled trial design. 40 subjects were randomly assigned to the placebo group or the EC102 group. The visual analogous scale (VAS) was used to evaluate various VDT symptoms, including eye pain, eye fatigue, back pain, shoulder pain and so on. Refractory indexes were measured using refractometer, and tear film break-up time (BUT) were measured using fluorescein strip. Blood circulation was measured using photo-plethysmography. Blood pressure and blood biochemistry were also measured. Statistical analysis was conducted by a Mann-Whitney test using SPSS 9.0 software. Results: The EC102 group showed a statistically significant reduction of eye symptoms including eye fatigue, eyelid fatigue, itching, pain, and photophobia when compared with the placebo group (P<0.05). The EC102 group also showed a statistically significant reduction of back pain compared with the placebo group (P<0.05). No side effects on liver function and blood biochemistry were observed. Conclusions: EC102 has significant clinical efficacy for relieving symptoms of VDT syndrome.

Germinomas of the central nervous system are rare embryonal tumors(accounting for less than 1% of intracranial neoplasms) that may be located in the pineal region, in the floor of the third ventricle, or in the suprasellar area. We report a case of germinoma developed in periventricular deep white matter without pineal region tumors or suprasellar masses. The 19-year-old male patient presented with slowly progressing headache, dizziness, photophobia, and dysarthria. Initial brain MRI revealed a irregular and dense enhancement from lateral ventricles to 4th ventricle. The stereotactic biopsy of tumor and histologic examination revealed the germinoma. Craniospinal axis radiation therapy was performed. After radiation therapy patient was improved and no neurologic sequelae was seen at discharge. Periventricular germinomas without pineal or suprasellar lesion are very rare. The radiation therapy, as in our case, is beneficial as with other intracranial germinomas. Stereotactic biopsy of periventricular germinoma provides precise pathologic diagnosis and thus allows more specific management.
