Objectives : The main purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of Gagamchengyoung-tang (Ji$\bar{a}$ji$\check{a}$nq$\bar{i}$ngy$\acute{i}$ng-t$\bar{a}$ng) and examine the febrile tendency in the alopecia patients Methods : Of the patients who have visited Balmers Korean Medicine clinic for alopecia from December first 2012 to December 31st 2012, we enrolled 30 patients and performed heat and cold diagnosis, examine scalp and check hair density. We administrated Gagamchengyoung-tang(Ji$\bar{a}$ji$\check{a}$nq$\bar{i}$ngy$\acute{i}$ng-t$\bar{a}$ng) and acupuncture to all patients. The effect was assessed by scalp condition and hair density Results : The scalp disorder index decreased and hair density increased in alopecia patients with febrile tendency Conclusions : All patients had febrile tendency and Gagamchengyoung-Tang(Ji$\bar{a}$ji$\check{a}$nq$\bar{i}$ngy$\acute{i}$ng-t$\bar{a}$ng) can be effective in the scalp disorder and alopecia.

본 연구는 여성암환우의 가발착용이 두피질환에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 향 후 암 환우들을 위한 가발 제작 시 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 실증 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 여성암 환우의 탈모용 가발 착용이 두피 가려움증에 미치는 영향은 가발착용 시 여러 가지 불편요소가 클수록 가려움을 유발하는 것으로 나타났으며 가발착용의 밀착성과 땀 분비, 심리적 위축성은 두피 가려움을 직접적으로 유발하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또, 여성암환우의 탈모용 가발 착용이 두피 트러블 유발에 미치는 영향에서도 가발의 탈착 시 불편 여부와 심리적 위축감이 높을 경우 두피 트러블을 유발시키는데 유의적인 영향을 미치는 반면 가발 탈착 시 밀착성과 땀 분비는 직접적인 연관이 없는 것으로 나타나 기각되었다. 이 같은 결과는 여성암 환우의 탈모용 가발 작용이 두피가려움과 트러블을 유발시킴에 있어 단순한 밀착여부와 땀 분비만으로 두피질환을 유발하지 않음을 시사한 것으로 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 심적으로 고통 받는 여성 암 환우들을 위한 편리하고 우수한 가발 제작이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Aplasia cutis congenita (ACC) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by skin defects involving the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous tissue, bone, and sometimes dura. It commonly affects the scalp in approximately 70% of cases, but the neck, trunk, and the extremities can also be affected. ACC can occur either as an isolated condition or associated with other anomalies and congenital syndromes, and it can be acquired either genetically or sporadically. Morbidity and mortality are associated with the defects of skull bone, dura, and other multiple anomalies. We herein report the case of a female infant, with a large scalp defect accompanied by a skull defect noted at birth, who developed mental retardation in the preschool years.

Strabismus is a vision disorder in which the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object and it can negatively affect the quality of life. This case is a report on a strabismus patient who received Korean medicine treatment including scalp acupuncture. Scalp acupuncture, body acupuncture, and herbal medicine were performed on a patient diagnosed with strabismus and diplopia. The improvement of symptoms was evaluated by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Scott and Kraft Score (SK score), and change of symptoms and progress of diplopia. NRS decreased by more than 85%, and the SK score gradually changed from -4 to 0, which means strabismus mostly recovered, and the symptom and progress of diplopia were reduced. In this study, it is considered that Korean medical treatment including scalp acupuncture is useful for strabismus patients.

Objectives: This study is a clinical report of a patient with ADHD and learning disorders who is being treated with hyperbaric oxygen, scalp acupuncture, cognitive enhancement therapy and speech-language therapy. Methods: The BASA-R, BASA-M and REVT tests were used for the diagnosis of learning disorders. For the treatment, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, scalp acupuncture, cognitive enhancement therapy and speech-language therapy were all being used. The Raven's matrix tests were compared for between before and after the abovementioned therapies. Results: After the treatment, Raven's matrix test grade improved from 4 to 5. The improvement of the patient's concentration, communication, motion, confidence, and sleep conditions were observed. Conclusions: These therapies including the hyperbaric oxygen therapy are efficient for the treatment of ADHD and learning disorders.

진행성 골화성 섬유이형성증은 매우 드문 유전적 질환이기는 하나 영유아 초기에 경부나 두부의 종괴에 동반하여 나타나는 특징적인 양측성의 족부 모지의 선천성 기형으로 진단이 가능하다. 그러나 오진으로 인한 잘못된 치료와 그로 인한 합병증이 병의 진행을 더 악화시킬 수 있으며 불필요한 처치를 행할 수 있어 처음 진단에 주의를 요하는 질환이다. 이에 저자는 이질환의 자연적 경과와 더불어 잘못된 치료로 인해 발생한 성인에서의 양상을 보고하는 바이다.

Trichotillomania (TTM) is a disorder characterized by repetitive hair pulling, frequently from the scalp and/or eyebrows, leading to noticeable hair loss and functional impairment. TTM remains a poorly understood and inadequately treated disorder despite increased recognition of its prevalence. We review available neuroimaging studies conducted in patients with TTM, covering structural and functional neuroimaging in turn. Data from patients' structural and functional neuroimaging results enabled us to identify the neural circuitry involved in the manifestation of hair pulling. Finally, we highlighted the future importance of neuroimaging studies in children and adolescents with TTM.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation method that delivers 1-2 mA of current to the scalp. Several clinical studies have been conducted to confirm the therapeutic effect of major depressive disorder (MDD) patients with tDCS. Some studies have shown tDCS's antidepressant effect, while the others showed conflicting results in antidepressant effects. Our aim of this review is to understand the biological bases of tDCS's antidepressant effect and review the results of studies on tDCS's antidepressant effect. For the review and search process of MDD treatment using tDCS, the US National Library of Medicine search engine PubMed was used. In this review, we discuss the biological mechanism of tDCS's antidepressant effect and the existing published literature including meta-analysis, systematic review, control trial, open studies, and case reports of antidepressant effects and cognitive function improvement in patients with MDD are reviewed. We also discuss the appropriate tDCS protocol for MDD patients, factors predictive of response to tDCS treatment, the disadvantages of tDCS in MDD treatment, and side effects.

Langerhans' cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare immunologic disorder characterized by histiocyte proliferation in multiple organ systems. Eosinophilic granuloma, a benign bone lesion, represents a focal form of LCH. We experienced a case of Langerhans' cell histiocytosis in a patient who presented with intracranial epidural hematoma and cyst on the midline of the frontal skull. A 10-year-old boy presented with a rapidly growing large scalp mass on the midline frontal area after mild head trauma. The scalp mass was painless and immobile. Plain skull x-ray showed a punched-out bone lesion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a non-enhancing osteolytic lesion presenting with an epidural hematoma and cyst on the midline of the frontal skull. The lesion of the skull was completely resected and the patient's recovery was uneventful. The acute presentation of a solitary eosinophilic granuloma of skull with an epidural hematoma has been described in only five cases in the literature and we report the first case of LCH presenting as an intracranial epidural hematoma on frontal area.

Objectives The purpose of this review is to investigate the clinical studies of oriental treatment for Autism in China and seek the better methods to study and treat Autism in Korea. Methods We searched for the study at CNKI by keywords, 'Autism', '孤獨症', '自閉症', in the last 5years. Results Selected 14 clinical studies were divided into 6 case reports and 8 control studies. The subjects of clinical study were the average 4-9 years old children. It was described that the symptoms were improved after treatment in 6 case reports. 8 control studies reported that the experimental group were better effective than the comparison group. Frequently used method for treatment was Scalp acupuncture. Conclusions It is promising that we could develop our own treatment and studies for autism in Korea by using Scalp acupuncture, based on these clinical studies.
