Objectives : In order to apply herbal medicine to aroma-therapy, we observed clinically remedical effect for allergic rhinitis of aroma-therapy using herbal medicine. Methods : Twenty-four allergic rhinitis patients were treated in the Kun-po Oriental Medical Hospital of Wonkwang University from September 2000 to October 2000. They were treated with aroma-therapy and analyzed clinically. Results : 1. 25.0% (6 cases) of all cases involved pre-teenagers; teenagers 29.2% (7 cases); patients in their 20s, 20.8% (5 cases); patients in their 30s, 12.5% (3 cases); patients in their 40s, 8.3% (2 cases); patients in their 50s, 4.2% (1 cases). 2. The ratio of male to female patients was 58.3%(14 cases) to 41.7%(10 cases). 3. Cases involving patients under the age of six months was 0%; under 1 year 12.5% (3 cases); under 2 years 33.3%(8 cases); under 3 years 16.7%(4 cases); over 3 years 37.5%(9 cases). 4. Past history : The cases of sinusitis were 33.3%(8 cases); otitis media 20.8%(5 cases), bronchitis 16.7%(4 cases), atopic dermatitis 12.5%(3 cases), asthma 8.3%(2 cases). 5. The ratio of allergic onset based on seasons were : spring 16.7%(4 cases), summer 0%, fall 29.2%(7 cases), winter 16.7%(4 cases), and not defined 37.5%(9 cases). 6. The cases of nasal obstruction was 91.7%(22 cases); followed by : sneezing 83.3(20 cases), white rhinorrhea 70.8%(17 cases), eye itching 66.7%(16 cases), nasal itching 58.3%(14 cases), rhinalgia 58.3%(14 cases), postnasal drip 50.0%(12 cases), headache 41.7%(10 cases), yellow rhinorrhea 33.3%(8 cases), cough 33.3%(8 cases), fatigue 29.2%(7 cases). 7. The cases of familial factor was 66.7%(16 cases); the non-familial factor 33.3%(8 cases). 8. The remedical effect of the treatment showed an improvement in 58.4% of the total cases studied. 9. The improvement-rate of the 1st group (mahwang group) was 66.7%; of the 2nd group (hwangkum group) 48.5%, and of the 3rd group (pine group) 55.8%.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of experience emotion (i.e., happy, proud, sad, fear) on the risk perception. This study also examined interaction effects of emotion regulation (i.e., reappraisal strategy, problem focused strategy) between experience emotion and risk perception. The study collected data from 168 flight crew members in Korean commercial airlines, using an online research in which an experiment of emotion manipulation and a survey were included. The results of the study found the positive effect of happiness emotion on the risk perception regarding cases 1(these cases have high possibility of negative result and low circumstance control) and the positive effect of sadness emotion on the risk perception regarding cases 2(these cases have low possibility of negative result and high circumstance control). This study also found the interaction effect of reappraisal emotion regulation strategy between the relationship of happiness and risk perception regarding cases 2. From these results, the study provided that theoretical and practical implication that happiness and sadness emotion contribute risk perception and reappraisal strategy has a moderating role in the relationship between happy emotion and risk perception. Finally, based on these results, the limitations of this study and future research were discussed.

Antibody screening and identification tests before blood transfusion are important because unexpected red antibodies can cause acute or delayed hemolytic transfusion reactions. Although a tube method was used for detecting unexpected antibodies, a column agglutination method has recently been used because of its simple procedure and a high detection of warm antibodies. This study investigated the frequency and distribution of unexpected antibodies in transfusion candidates during the recent 5 years, and transfusion characteristics in the identified cases. From January 2005 to December 2009, 46,923 sera of the cases from E hospital were screened and 98 sera were identified by the DiaMed-ID System. 272 cases (0.58%) showed positive results out of all 46,923 cases that underwent unexpected antibodies screening. Among them, unexpected antibodies were identified in 98 cases. The anti-Rh antibodies included in warm antibodies were the most frequently detected in 47 cases (47.96%). Anti-Lewis and anti-MNSs antibodies were detected in 11 cases (11.22%) and 6 cases (6.12%), respectively. Unidentified antibodies were detected in 6 cases (6.12%). Among the patients with unexpected antibodies, 43 cases (43.88%) had a history of previous transfusion. Anti-E was the most frequently detected antibody (4/14 cases, 30.77%) in the cases who had a previous history of transfusion and showed different screening results from negative to positive, This study may provide the basic data for the frequency and characteristics of red cell antibodies.

This study was aimed to observe the histological changes of the edentulous and denture wearing alveolar ridge mucosa. The distribution of Langerhans cells was also observed to investigate the mucosal immune response by denture wearing. The mucosal tissues were obtained from of 12 cases of edentulous nondenture wearers(NDW), 7 cases of denture wearers(DW), and 12 cases of flabby tissues(FT). For the identification of Langerhans cells of the mucosal epithelia, the immunohistochemical stain for S-100 protein was applied. The results were as follows : 1. 7 cases among 12 cases of NDW showed hyperkeratosis, and 5 cases were covered by parakeratosis, whereas 3 cases among 7 cases of DW showed hyperkeratosis, and 4 cases showed parakeratosis on the mucosal epithelium. All cases of both DW and NDW demonstrated epithelial hyperplasia, except. 2 cases of DW, which showed epithelial atrophy. The content of glycogen in the epithelial layer showed the decrease in the group of DW. 2. Both NDW and DW showed the infiltration of chronic inflammatory cells. The collagen fibers tended to be arranged densely and irregularly in cases of denture wearing period more than 10 years. 3. FT showed variable epithelial changes from epithelial atrophy to marked hyperplasia, and the pattern of keratinization was also variable. The collagen fibers tended to be arranged irregularly. 4. The distribution of Langerhans cells showed the increase of 1.84-1.96 times in the group of DW compared with NDW group.

Purpose: We reviewed the clinical finding of malignant melanoma of the foot in korean because it's advanced stage and extended lesion at diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study was enforced about the 11 cases who has diagnosed to malignant melanoma of the foot from February 1995 to March 2004. The mean follow up period was 61 months. In this study we used age, sex, site, depth, histology, clinical stage, precursor lesion, misdiagnosis, interval to diagnosis, survival time, survival. Results: Average age was 58 years and number of female was six. Common site of involvement were heel of plantar surface (6 cases) and subungual area (2 cases). Depths of involvement were 0.3 to 10 mm, most common histological type was acral lentiginous melanoma (7 cases), stage 5 according to classification of Clark were 5 cases and stage 2 or more according to clinical staging were 8 cases. precursor lesion were benign melanocytic nevi (2 cases) and ill defined (9 cases). Chief complaint were increasing of size, color change, pain and ulceration. Conclusion: Malignant melanoma of the foot usually arise at nonvisible area and is easy to be misdiagnosed or delayed treatment. So it is hard to early diagnosis and have poor prognosis. So we need education and effort to early detection and diagnosis.

Purpose: Our aim in this study is to investigate efficacy of topical lidocaine spray for sedated esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in children. Methods: The endoscopy of children aged between 3-18 years who underwent EGD in our endoscopy unit. Intravenous (IV) midazolam and ketamine were used for sedation. Prior to sedation, endoscopy nurse applied topical lidocaine 10% with pump spray at 1 mg/kg dose in group 1, and distilled water via identically scaled pump spray in group 2, in a double blinded fashion. Results: Sedation was not applied in 24.1% of the cases in topical lidocaine spray group (LS group) and in 5.7% of the cases in distilled water spray group (DS group). Gag reflex was observed in 6.5% of cases in LS group and 33.3% of cases in DS group (p=0.024), increased oral secretion was observed in 9.3% of cases in LS group and 51.7% of cases in DS group (p=0.038), sore throat was observed in 3.7% of cases in LS group and 35.6% of cases in DS group (p=0.019) and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: The study showed that topical pharyngeal lidocaine reduces both requirement and amount of IV sedation before EGD in children and sore throat, gag reflex and decreased oral secretion increase.

Inguinal hernia is the most frequent problem requiring surgery in children. Moreover, subsequent contralateral occurrence after repair of the symptomatic unilateral inguinal hernia(UIH) is not rare, This study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of inguinal ultrasonography (IUS) for potential bilateral inguinal hernia (BIH). A prospective study was performed for preschool children less than 6 years of age who were diagnosed as UIH from July 1999 to December 2000. We selected 58 cases with potential BIH, based on the past history, such as prematurity, ventriculo peritoneal shunt, family history of BIH. hernia on the left side (LIH), age below 2, female, and contralateral positive silk glove sign on the physical examination, Screening with IUS and bilateral surgical exploration were applied on these cases. Forty-seven cases were males (81.0%) and 11 cases were females (19.0%). Thirty four were infants. Symptomatic right inguinal hernia (RIH) were 28 (48.3%), and LIH were 30 cases (51.7%). Six cases had no evidence of contralateral patent process vaginalis (PPV) by IUS but showed contralateral PPV by operation. Two cases were suspicious to contralateral PPV under IUS, but operative findings were negative. Fifty cases showed contralateral PPV by IUS as well as operation. The detection rate of contralateral PPV under IUS was 86.2%. The preoperative IUS may reduce contralateral exploration.
