Objectives : A rare case of dural tear ensuing after a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment leading to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine was found, so we report it. Methods : A 32-year-old woman presented with back and neck pain in 1 days earlier. The patient undertook a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment. After this maneuver, the patient complained of an orthostatic headache with nausea. The patient's headache worsened, and lying down gave the only measure of limited relief. In Brain CT and MRI study, nonspecific finding was detected. In Cistemography study, CSF leakage at lower cervical or upper thoracic area was detected. Results and Conclusions : It is supposed that this patient suffered a dural tear and CSF leakage secondarily due to a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment. From this case, we can understand the etiology of dural tear to some extent and consider the complication of Chuna Manipulation Treatment. In the future, more study, research and prospective trial for complications of a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment is needed.

More than 30,000 Wooden Slips were excavated in the Juyan region in 1930s and 1970s. These slips recorded military actions of Juyan Frontier Fortress during Han dynasty, which is about BC 100 ~ AD 30. On the slips, there are many disease names and symptoms mentioned. We focused on a certain disease name, namely, Shnaghan(傷寒; injured by cold), which is the main subject of Shangha-lun(傷寒論). Looking closely into these Juan Wooden Slips, we found many articles recording Shanghan, including related diseases and symptoms, such as Shanghan(傷汗; injured by sweat), headache, fever and chills, immobilization of limbs, unacceptance of foods. And there are another Shanghan-related symptoms, such as inflation of upper-abdomen(心腹支滿), pain of upper abdomen(心腹痛), strain of both armpits(兩胠葥急), inflation of chest(胸脇支滿), tightness and fear in the chest(煩滿). Although they have no direct relationship with Shanghan, there are many symptoms, including the external wounds of waist, finger, thigh, back, breast and head, abscess of leg and elbow, sore throat, itching, leucorrhea, powerlessness of hands and legs(手足癃), visceral injury(傷臟), tinnitus, cold, warm and heat. Because the Wooden Slips are very short, with some characters even missing, we can not confirm the detail of the disease and symptoms. In addition, we will report about the herbal medicines and other treatments, which are recorded on the slips, by further research.

노인층에서의 턱관절장애의 증상과 징후에 관한 이전 연구에서 일관된 결론을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 연령에 따른 턱관절의 증상과 징후의 유병률을 분석하는 것이다. 젊은층을 대조군으로 평가하였다. 40명의 노인층 환자 (28명 여자, 12명 남자, 평균연령: $65.2{\pm}2.5$)와 40명의 젊은층 환자 (30명 여자, 10명 남자, 평균연령: $23.3{\pm}2.6$)로서 턱관절장애(temporomandibular disorders, TMD)로 진단받은 질환자를 대상으로 하였다. 실험 대상자는 다음과 같은 평가기준을 적용하였다. 주관적 평가인 주소에서 구강안면 통증의 정도(VAS), 객관적인 평가에서 하악 개구 시 운동량, TMJ 관절잡음 (관절음, 염발음), TMJ 촉진 시 통증, 저작과 관련된 근육(교근, 측두근)과 목 근육, 견부근의 촉진 시 통증에 관한 것을 포함한다. 두 그룹 간 차이점 분석은 t 검정과 카이제곱 검정 방법을 사용하였다. (SPSS v. 17) P 값이 0.05 이하인 것을 통계적으로 유의성 있게 보았다. 주관적인 평가에서 주소에 나타난 구강안면 통증 정도에서는 두 그룹 간 유의한 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 객관적인 평가에서 노인층 환자에서 개구 시 염발음이 25%에서 관찰되었고 저작근 촉진 시 통증은 82.5%에서 관찰되었으며 측두근 촉진시에 60%에서 통증을 보였다. 반대로, 젊은층에서 62.5%에서 관절잡음이 관찰되었고 개구 시 좀 더 큰 운동량을 보였다. (p=0.043) 관절잡음과 촉진 시 근육 통증, 하악 운동량에서 두 그룹 간 차이는 현저했다. 노인층에서 TMD에 대한 개구 시염발음, 근육 촉진 시 통증이 자주 관찰되는 반면 젊은 층에서는 하악 운동 시 관절잡음, 운동 시 개구량의 증가가 보다 많이 관찰되었다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of tools (i., extracorporeal shock wave therapy, massage gun, and foam roller) on range of motion, muscle tone and pain threshold among patients with hamstring stiffness. Methods : Fourteen participants with hamstrings stiffness were recruited. Interventions were performed 6 times, and each session was for 30 seconds using the three tools. The range of motion, muscle tone, and pain threshold were measured. The order of the use of the three tools was randomly determined. The foam roller was made to move from the bottom of the hip crease to the upper part of the back of the hamstring. Additionally, velocity 5 vibration stimulation was performed on the hamstring using a massage gun. Moreover, vibration stimulation was performed on the hamstring with extracorporeal shock wave therapy 5 minutes, 5 Hz, and 1,500 strokes. The flexibility of the posterior thigh muscle was based on maintaining the knee and hip joints in a 90 ° bend in the supine position. The joint angle of the knee was measured, when the knee was actively extended, at the maximum point where the posterior thigh muscle was stretched. The elasticity of the posterior thigh muscle was measured while the subject was prone and in a relaxed state without any force. Measurements were made at the muscle abdominal area of the semitendinosus muscle of the posterior femur, and the area to be measured was marked with a pen. The measurement of the tenderness threshold of the posterior femur was measured using a tenderness meter(Commander Algometer, J-Tech, USA). The force value at the point at which the pressure sensation change to pain was measured after applying vertical pressure to the posterior femur muscle, which was the halfway point between the ischial tuberosity and the popliteal surface of the subject lying on their stomach. Results : The extracorporeal shock wave therapy increased stiffness and, muscle tone, and caused changes in the pain threshold, whereas the other two tools had no effect on these indices. Conclusion : Extracorporeal shock wave therapy has important effects on range of motion and muscle stiffness and can be used in warmup protocols.

Objectives: This study compared the characteristics of the work environment between agricultural and general workers and analyzed the effects of agricultural working characteristics on work-related health problems. Methods: The participants of this study were 2,347 agricultural workers and 48,042 general workers who were selected by applying standardized weights to the raw data of 50,538 respondents from the 6th Korean Working Condition Survey (KWCS). Variables applicable to both worker groups and related to exposure to hazardous risk factors in the working environment, working hours and intensity of work, health problems and work-related status, and satisfaction with the work environment were selected. Chi-square tests and independent sample t-tests were performed to evaluate the differences in the variables between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the effects of work environment characteristics on work-related health problems. Results: Compared to general workers, agricultural workers were more exposed to hazardous environments, irregular work patterns such as working on Saturday/Sunday, and short repetitive tasks. They reported more work-related and general health problems, including back pain, upper extremity muscle pain, lower extremity muscle pain, and general fatigue. Agricultural workers showed lower satisfaction with their work environment than general workers. Factors affecting one or more work-related health problems included gender, working years, hazardous factors, irregular work pattern, working hours, and labor intensity. Conclusions: Our findings showed that agricultural workers were relatively more vulnerable to safety issues compared to other occupational groups. Therefore, it is necessary to establish standardized safety and health standards and strengthen systematic safety and health management policies and services for agriculture.

Purpose: It is known that the chronic absence of unilateral breast can cause spine curvature. The artificial breast manufactures take up the position of that possibility. This study was designed to evaluate the influence of the mastectomy on the spine and appearance of scoliosis among women who wanted delayed breast reconstruction. ted delayed breast reconstruction. Methods: The study population consisted of 47 women who underwent delayed breast reconstruction at our Department of Plastic Surgery from April 2001 to May 2007. The whole spine anteroposterior and lateral X-ray was taken to evaluate the Cobb's angle. As a general rule a Cobb angle of 10 is regarded as a minimum angulation to define scoliosis. We evaluated Cobb's angle and drew a correlation between the duration of the mastectomy state and the weight of the mastectomy specimen. Results: There were no family history of scoliosis, and no numbness or weakness in the upper or lower extremities. They had normal reflex and experienced no tenderness of the perispinal area. The Spearman Correlation Coefficient between Cobb's angle and the period that took time from the mastectomy to the X-rays and analysis between Cobb's angle and specimen weight was 0.032 and-0.115. there were no correlation between Cobb's angle and time, or between Cobb's angle and specimen weight. Conclusion: lthough the patients attribute their back pain and distorted posture to having received an one-sided mastectomy, it is unlikely that one-sided mastectomy causes spinal deformity and scoliosis.

A 12-years-old female admitted to the hospital with the complaint of pain on the right upper chest area which persisted about 1 month prior to admission. $Caf{\acute{e}}$-au-lait spots of various size laying on a whole body and freckling on the axilla were found on physical examination. A huge mass was found on the plain chest X-ray and on chest MRI. The mass encroached thoracic spine, posterior rib, back muscles, and then into the neural canal and compressed thoracic spinal cord. On the 5th day of hospitalization, the patient complained tingling on the both legs and 2 days later, monoparesis on the right leg. Open thoracotomy and decompressive laminectomy was done to remove mass. Pathologic reports confirmed rhabdomyosarcoma, embryonal type.
