This survey paper examines general characteristics of "yellow" color, the oldest color in the history of art. Also the research aims to find meanings of the color and historical development embedded in clothing and textile both in orient and in occident where different philosophy and history developed. It is found here that the yellow symbolized both positive and negative meaning in the history of costume throughout the world. The color, however, was used to symbolize mostly positive meaning in the orient whereas not in the occident. "Yellow" color in orient used to symbolize the supremacy of the emperor, excellence and authority. The meaning of "yellow" color in the occident is two fold: from the positive viewpoint it represent god, king, wisdom, wealth and holy light, and from the negative viewpoint it represent image of betrayal and distrust, image of immorality, image of death and disease and image of jealousy and hatred. The concept of "yellow" was generalized in orient by the "Eum-Yang-O-Haeng Theory", while in occident by the Christianism.

Temporal hollowing is a common complication that occurs after coronal approach surgeries. However, temporal hollowing without previous nerve damage or trauma history is rare. Herein, we present a patient with cryptogenic temporal hollowing. A 22-year-old man without any history of craniofacial interventions or trauma presented with temporal hallowing. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed fatty degeneration of the left temporalis muscle. Electromyography and nerve conduction study showed no signs of neurologic abnormalities. The patient received autologous fat injection of 30 mL harvested from the left thigh using the modified Coleman technique. Temporal hollowing is commonly caused by atrophy of the superficial temporal fat pad. Its incidence is reported to be as high as 6% after coronal approach operation. Augmentation using porous hydroxyapatite or titanium mesh is a treatment option. Autologous fat graft can also be an option for mild to moderate temporal hollowing. In this case, a patient with no history of trauma, surgery, or myogenic disease developed temporal hollowing. Further study of the little-known cryptogenic form of temporal hollowing is warranted.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to develop the diagnostic tool to distinguish between cold syndrome (CS) and heat syndrome (HS). Methods: A total of 1,753 subjects were divided into three groups, those are CS group, intemediate group, and HS group, by the mean and standard deviation of the cold heat syndrome differentiation score using 7 point scale consisting of 9 items. Demographic characteristics, diseases history, health status, Mibyeong, syndrome differentiation were analyzed. Results: CS is characterized by women, elderly, and low body mass index. CS has a history of thyroid disease, cataract, depression, osteoporosis, and HS has a history of prostatomegaly. CS receives less social psychosocial stress than HS, and the quality of life associated with health status is lower than HS. CS group has the tendency to be tired, painful, sleepless, dyspeptic and anxious. Conclusions: CS is a set of symptoms associated with decreased energy metabolism and decreased metabolic function, and is more likely to be unhealthy than HS.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the external application of paste preparation recorded in the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實錄) and to clarify the significance of modern use of plaster therapy. Methods: Of many paste preparations, records of All-applying ointment (萬應膏), One-great ointment (太一膏), Pain-relieving plaster (救苦膏), and Pus-promoting powder (促膿膏) were especially examined from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty. Other medical records regarding how these preparations were passed onto later generations were also studied. Results: According to the records from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty, paste preparations were mainly used to cure abscess and sore, partly to treat pain diseases. From other medical documents, it could be found that these preparations were continuously used in subsequent eras. Conclusions: From these records, the level and features of Chosun Dynasty medicine could be speculated. It is necessary to find and restore effective paste preparations in Traditional Korean Medicine to use for treating disease today. Therefore, records from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty are important and meaningful materials.

This paper analyzes the case records of a herbalist En Su-ryong who lived at the Kochang area of Chollapukdo province in the 19th century. The records, which were included in his collection of works, Tantojip(呑吐集), were consisted of 11 clinical diagnosis and prescriptions. The result of the analysis is as follows. First, En Su-ryong's records are estimated to be valuable enough to contribute to the development of the Korean clinical medicine, in light of the fact that the present established prescriptions or medical theory came from the repetition of trial and error by many herb doctors. Second, his case records are unique in the style of writing, because they were consisted of only his own clinical diagnosis and prescriptions case by case, while those of ordinary herbalists were classified by the types of the symptoms of a disease, with their prescriptions modified from the past established. Third, in the records he minutely wrote not only the names and the addresses of the patients under his care, but also the names of the diseases, the progress and the contents of his treatment, and even the perfect cure or not. Therefore, his case records are appreciated to be very important from the standpoint of the history of the society.

Prosthetic valves are being widely used in the treatment of heart valve disease. Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is one of the most catastrophic complications seen in these patients. In particular, prosthetic valve dehiscence can lead to acute decompensation, pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock. Here, we discuss the medical management of late PVE in a patient with a prior history of late and redo early PVE and recurrent dehiscence. According to the present case, we can summarize the learning points as follows. A prior history of infective endocarditis increases the risk of relapse or recurrence, and these patients should be evaluated very cautiously to prevent late complications. Adequate debridement of infected material is of paramount importance to prevent relapse. A history of dehiscence is associated with increased risk of relapse and recurrent dehiscence.

This study was conducted to investigate drinking smoking exercise and environmental characteristics and it's risk factors for hypercholesterolemia (HC) in Korean. 344 adult men who took the annual health check-ups at D or J hospitals were participated in this corss-sectional study. The subjects were grouped by plasma total cholesterol level into three groups: normal cholesterolemic(n=139) borderline hyper-cholesterolemic (n=93) and hypercholesterolemic (n-112) groups. The data of plasma cholesterol level in the subjects were collected from medical records. Drinking smoking and exercise habits family and disease history personality type and stress level of subjects were investigated by using questionaries. The subjects with HC had longer drinking duration and drunk more frequently. The proportion of smok-er heavy smoker($\geq$2pack/day) and longer smoker ($\geq$30yrs) showed high in the HC but there were no significancy. The subjects with HC had preference for light exercise and exercised more frequently but there were no significant difference. The family history of cardiovascular diseases was higher in the were not different among the three groups. The relative risks on HC were 1.33 for family history, 1.22 for severe stress 1.06 for smoking and 1.04 for exercise.

The smallpox or chanjin(瘡疹), from Korea Dynasty when the name concretely is discussed to Joseon Dynasty, was very one of the diseases which were important. Not only the public but also the royal family could not avoid the pain which is caused by with the smallpox. Also as a scar and fear that the smallpox leave on, the smallpox was called a God(痘瘡神). As the prayer and sacrificial rites primarily could not relieve the nation and the community from a smallpox, an intellectual finally had to remind that if people considered a factor which caused the smallpox, they could cure this disease. That was Nam Hyoon(南孝溫) who rejected a goast to cause a smallpox. And the compilation of "Changjinjip(瘡疹集)" changed recognition about a smallpox. Especially, the compilation of "Changjinjip" was very important in the history of Korean medicine. Because it told what "Uibanglyuchui(醫方類聚)" the national compilation project of medicine book that King Sejong promoted leaved. The "Changjinjip(瘡疹集)" adopted two kind methods. The one was the medical history or with medical theoretic history method: arranged a various medical theory about "changjin" like "Uibanglyuchui". The other was the clinical method of presenting theories and prescriptions as causes and mutations: reformed contents of "Uibanglyuchui". In addition to special medicine book of smallpox, "Changjinjip" gave knowledge about a paradigm of "Uibanglyuchui" and methods of medical book compilation in later.

Songjeol-tea is a prescription that mixes alcohol with some ingredients and Songjeol[松節], and appears only in the King-Yeongjo era throughout 『Seungjeongwon Ilgi』. King Yeongjo recognized that the Songjeol-tea was an excellent prescription for the treatment of leg diseases, and took it in various ways thanks to the title of "tea" by his officials and doctors. There were many internal conflicts as King Yeongjo taking a prescription in the form of alcohol in a situation where an official who violated it was punished after issuing prohibition of drinking alcohol, and recognized the Songjeol-tea as alcohol. The officials and doctors of King Yeongjo's reign rationalized the King's actions by creating a justification for taking the Songjeol-tea to treat the disease because the king's body was related to the safety of the state.
