Objectives : This study is to report the effect of Scolopendrid Pharmacopuncture on two patients suffering from the pain of popliteal part. Methods : We treated the patients with the pain of popliteal part by acupuncture according to meridian(Taeyang and Soyang-Meridian), and we injected 0.1${\sim}$0.2cc of Scolopendrid Pharmacopuncture to his pain site. And then we evaluated their pain by VAS(Visual Analog Scale). Results : 1. A combined treatment-Scolopendrid Pharmacopuncture and Acupucture- had a very excellent effect on relieving pain of popliteal part originated from trigger point and referred pain of Popliteus or Biceps Femoris. 2. It appears that Scolopendrid Pharmacopuncture is very effective against trigger point of muscle and pain site fixed.

Referred pain is not localized to the site of its cause, but referred to an area that may be an adjacent distant from such a site. With respect to this, there is the possibility of misdiagnosis in the treatment of referred pain patient. We experienced a case of a 31-years-old male patient complaining of right shoulder pain, which subsided after a bursa injection. The patient revisited our clinic after 3 weeks complaining not only of right shoulder pain, but also of right upper quadrant pain and fever. He was diagnosed as having a liver abscess by an imaging study.

Recently we experienced a case of Takayasu`s arteritis involving the major aortic branches. A 30 year-old female patient admitted with the complaints of dizziness, visual disturbance, headache and tingling sensation of upper extremities. Aortogram revealed nearly complete obstruction of the origin site of both common carotid arteries and right vertebral artery, and irregular luminal narrowing of the origin site of innominate artery and left subclavian artery, but opacification of right subclavian artery and left vertebral artery. Successful surgical treatment was accomplished with a bypass from the ascending aorta to the left common carotid artery using a tube graft. The left subclavian artery and right axillary artery were revascularized distal to the stenosis with tube grafts that extended from the aortic graft. Postoperative complications were atelectasis, lymph leakage and left phrenic nerve palsy. She discharged uneventually at postoperative 22 days and most of symptoms were relieved.

Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak is a recognized cause of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a serious but rare complication of SIH. An autologous epidural blood patch at the CSF-leak site can effectively relieve SIH. We report a case of bilateral SDH with SIH caused by a CSF leak originating at the C1-2 level. A 55-year-old male complained of orthostatic headache without neurological signs. His symptoms did not respond to conservative treatments including bed rest, hydration and analgesics. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a subdural hematoma in the bilateral fronto-parietal region, and computed tomography (CT) myelography showed a CSF leak originating at the C1-2 level. The patient underwent successful treatment with a CT-guided epidural blood patch at the CSF-leak site after trephination for bilateral SDH.

This study investigated the factors in evaluating internet shopping mall sites, and developed a self-report evaluation scale of such sites, This article identifies factors to determine criteria for evaluating the sites from the consumers' viewpoint. Eighty three items were extracted initially, which were then categorized as follows: \circled1 Type of business, \circled2 Navigation ease, \circled3 Technological level, \circled4 Design of sites, \circled5 Communication ease, \circled6 Information available, \circled7 Ease of access, and \circled8 Site security, Overall reliability coefficients were high in the individual domains ($\alpha$=.86 to $\alpha$=.95). Face validity and contents validity were demonstrated to be good, There were significant differences in the means of these categories. The results also show that the technological level is the most important in shopping mall sites evaluation. These results may be used not only as a tool to evaluate shopping mall sites but also as a guideline to improve the quality of a shopping mall site that is under development.

The utility of soil-gas surveys is directly proportional to their accuracy in reflecting and representing changes in the subsurface concentrations of source compounds. Passive soil-gas vapor-phase is merely a fractional trace of the source, so, as a matter of convenience, the units used in reporting detection values from EMFLUX surveys are smaller than those employed for source-compound concentrations. According to the Leaking Underground Storage Tank(LUST) Program Annual Report, approximately 16 U.S. million dollars were spent for environmental site investigations at over 1,600 Underground Storage Tank(UST) sites and approximately over 1,000 acres of land was characterized and remediated in the State of Illinois in the year of 2003 alone. The main purpose of this study is to propose an idea to significantly reduce the site investigation cost by utilizing a passive soil-gas survey and conventional intrusive drilling method and to fully define the three dimensional characteristics of subsurface contamination from two industrial drycleaning facilities.

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.

Our previous report demonstrated that the rhp51$^＋$, a recA and RAD51 homolog of the fission yeast, encodes three transcripts of 1.9, 1.6 and 1.3 kb which have at least six polyadenylation sites. The 3'-end of the gene alone can direct the formation of multiple, discrete 3'ends of the transcripts. To identify the regulatory element required for the 3'-end formation of -rhp51$^＋$ deletion mapping analysis was performed. Northern blot analysis revealed that the 254-bp DNA fragment including 4 distinct poly (A) sites downstream from the Hindlll site, is crucial for normal 3'-end formation. Deletion of the 3'-terminal AU rich region caused appearance of read-through RNA, leading to enhancement of survival rate of the rhp51 deletion mutant in response to DNA damaging agent, methylmethane sulfonate (MMS). The results imply that the rhp51$^＋$ system may be useful for molecular analysis of the 3'-end formation of RNA in the fission yeast.

A congenital fistulous communication between the coronary artery and the cardiac chamber or the pulmonary artery is a rare condition, but increasing cases with this anomaly are being recognized with wide spread use of cardiac catheterization and coronary arteriography. Recently we experienced one case of right coronary artery fistula which was associated with atrial septal defect. The patient was a 24 year old female who was admitted because of cardiac murmur, palpitation and dyspnea on exertion after pregnancy. Cardiac catheterization and selective coronary arteriography revealed that a fistulous communication, forming a large aneurysm, was noted from the right coronary artery emptied into the right ventricle. On the operation field, the right coronary artery was curved and markedly dilated from the aorta to the middle segment at acute margin of the right ventricle. The egg-sized aneurysm of dilated right coronary artery was noticed on right ventricle. The aneurysm was incised longitudinally and both the proximal opening and the termination site of the fistula were closed directly with aneurysmectomy. The right atrium was also opened to evaluate the fistulous termination site and repaired only small interatrial septal defect. Postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged without problems

Manual or mechanical compression followed by 4 to 8 hours of bed rest is still the standard technique for accessing site management of the femoral arterial puncture site. But these methods are often uncomfortable and delay hospital discharge. Recently, a number of new devices to achieve hemostasis have been developed. These devices uses collagen to facilitate local hemostasis. But many complications associated with the use these devices have been reported internationally. We present a case of successful treatment of Rt. femoral and Rt. popliteal arteries thrombosis caused by Angioseal.
