Since the majority of cases with unilateral peripheral facial palsy are idiopathic, radiological studies such as CT or MRI are not usually recommended for further evaluation. We report a patient with peripheral facial palsy caused by minor salivary gland tumor which was demonstrated by appropriate imaging study.

The mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a rare tumor in the lung for less than 1% of all pulmonary neoplasm. It is mostly presented as a solitary pulmonary nodule at a large bronchial tree on bronchoscope. But more peripheral located tumor that not accessible to the bronchoscope are rarely reported on literature. The cytologic findings of these tumors are discribed as a mixture of squamous cells, mucous cells, and intermediate cells with overlapped cellular clusters. We experienced a case of peripheral mucoepidermoid carcinoma of lung diagnosed by fine needle aspiration cytology. The smear showed many cellular clusters on mucoid background. They consisted of many intermediate cells with occasional mucus-secreting cells, but malignant squamous cells were not present.

We studied the protective effect of Echinacea purpurea against radiation by evaluating changes in the peripheral blood cell count and peripheral blood antioxidant activity. Echinacea purpurea administration had a suppressive effect on radiation-induced leukopenia, especially on lymphocytes and monocytes and resulted in a faster recovery of blood cell counts. Mouse peripheral blood antioxidant activity was increased by Echinacea purpurea, and a relationship between the suppressive effect on radiation-induced leukopenia and the antioxidant effect was suggested.

We investigated the effect of Qi therapy (QT) on peripheral blood pressure (PBP), glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cortisol concentrations. Fourteen college students participated in receiving QT and placebo treatment. There were significant differences in embedding dimension of PBP. Plasma cortisol concentrations during QT were significantly lower than during control sessions (P

In this study, the micronucleus test with peripheral blood using acridine orange coated slides was evaluated in mice treated with mitomycin C(MMC) at doses of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg/kg body weight. The peripheral bloods were obtained at 0, 24, 48 and 72h after treatment. The frequencies of micronucleated reficulocytes(MNRET) in the MMC-treated groups increased dose-dependently, and showed a peak time at 48h after treatment. We also performed the sex differences of MNRET frequency in 0.5 mg/kg MMC treated group, and we observed no sex differences in this experiment. And we evaluated the usefulness of a direct acting clastogen, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea and a indirect acting clastogen, benzo(a) pyrene as the positive control in this supravital micronucleus test. They also caused a significant increase in MNRET frequencies. These results suggest that the supravital staining micronucleus test using MNRET can be useful tool to evalulate the quantitative and qualitative assessment of genotoxicity in vivo compared to classical in vivo micronucleus test using bone-marrow cells.

The treatment of chronic digital pain and cold intolerance due to Raynaud's phenomenon is quite difficult especially it is combined with scleroderma. Several surgical trial such as cervicothoracic sympathectomy have been attempted for the medically unresponsible Raynaud's phenomenon, but their results were unsatisfactory. We have tried peripheral periarterial sympathectomy for the 44 years old female patient who had medically unresponsible severe Raynaud's phenomenon with scleroderma. Periarterial adventitial stripping was performed at the level of wrist, superficial palmar arch, common digital artery and proper digital artery about 1.5-2 cm in length. Preoperative angiography and radioactive angiography were done and preoperatively and postoperatively the blood flow was measured by the desk top computer-aided histogram. Both hands digital pain were markedly reduced after operation and blood flow increased as compaired with the preoperative measure.

This paper deals with the design scheme of the custom control circuit for optimizing the interface of peripheral devices to general-purpose controllers for the high speed digital system. When the various peripheral devices such as memory, I/O devices and buffers which operate at low speed are interfaced to the microprocessor which operates at high speed, inserting the proper wait state to the processor is required. The proposed scheme designed with random logic may be applied to the high performance graphic system like the X-terminal. This circuit provides the flexibility and system independancy for the optimum digital system design.

Although painful conditions of varying degrees of severity involving the soft tissues (i .e., muscles, tendons, ligaments, periosteum and peripheral nerves) occur frequently, their underlying pathogenesis is poorly understood. The term peripheral neuropathic pain has recently been suggested to embrace the combination of positive and negative symptoms in patients whose pain is due to pathological changes or dysfunction in peripheral nerves or nerve root. The spinal nerve root, because of its vulnerable position, is very easily prone to injury from pressure, stretch, angulation, and friction. Therefore, not a few of musculoskeletal chronic pains are result of nerve root dysfunction. Neuropathic changes due to nerve root dysfunction are primarily in soft tissue especially muscle, tendon and joint. It shows tenderness over muscle motor points and palpable muscle contracture bands and restricted Joint range. Careful palpation and physical examination is the important tool that, be abne to detect all of these phenomena.

This research was carried out to examine the ultrasonic properties of $Phyllostachys$ $bambusoids$ Sieb et Zucc depending on three directions for providing the fundamental properties of the Korea traditional flute, Daekeum. The ultrasonic properties of $Phyllostachys$ $bambusoids$ Sieb. et Zucc were found to be different from those of wood, because of the distinctive anatomical structure of bamboo tissue. The ultrasonic velocity of peripheral zone showed higher values of all three directions. The ratio of longitudinal velocities to perpendicular velocities showed 1.16 at peripheral zone, 1.70 at central zone, 1.38 at inner zone respectively. The ratio of radial velocities to tangential velocities were measured as 1.286 at peripheral zone, 1.325 at central zone, 0.829 at inner zone respectively.

It is as result that study to apply mini magnet nerve curer in peripheral nervous system disease treatment. Design and embodied action power and Control Unit in cylinder form of magnet roof object firstly. Yielded service area about special quality of probe of roof object cylinder style and treatment area dimension and distance of treatment pulse secondly. Embody pulse forming course energy value by Probe's form by third, could embody treatment pulse by disease. Specially, through a special quality experiment, saved Damping pulse torn and treatment pulse form etc. variously. Lately, embodied this to aid a little in disease treatment that follow that there is no invasion that there is no stimulation by medicine development. Go amplitude treatment pulse (traditional magneto-therapy of greatly great that strong) does curative effect greatest at short time and becomes thought that demand is magnified greatly at the future in this research.
