This case study was reported to show the effects of Seongnoe-gaegyubeop acupuncture treatment. The methods were applied to patients who had the sequela of cerebral vescular accident(CVA) and had no progression for 3~6 months after the onset of CVA. The patients had no progression in spite of receiving medical treatment for 3~6 months after the onset of CVA. The patients were treated with Seongnoe-gaegyubeop acupuncture treatment. The patient's standing, sitting state and activities of daily life like dressing, feeding etc were assessed by Berg balance scale, Barthel Index and Manual Muscle Testing. After 3 months of this treatment, the standing, sitting state and activities of daily life were improved. I think that acupuncture treatment of Seongnoe-gaegyubeop is effective treatment method to treat the patient who caused the sequela of CVA.

Objectives: Agent Orange TCDD has been related to serious diseases among Korean veterans who were exposed to it. Decades after the end of the war, however, its effects are still being debated. The object of this study was to examine various unmet needs raised among Agent Orange exposed veterans and their families and to find grounds of a new welfare policy for providing alternative legislation. Methods: Literatures concerning Agent Orange, TCDD, the associated diseases, compensation for veterans and Supreme Court sentencing were searched using PubMed, ProQuest, press news and relevant homepages. Results: Agent Orange exposed veterans are eligible for various benefits from the government, including disability compensation for diseases associated with exposure. The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs has classified certain diseases into two categories, Agent Orange sequela diseases and sequela suspect diseases and has provided differential benefits based on separated laws. Big differences exist in benefits to veterans and their families between the two laws. The absence of definite standards to classify the Agent Orange associated diseases was confirmed by recent Supreme Court sentencing which ruled in favor of US manufacturers. Conclusion: It appears that the evidence for cause and effect of Agent Orange related diseases would never be perfect. The results suggest a need to change welfare principles from presumptive or indefinite disease basis to exposure experiences combined with integrated disability evaluation. We propose to extend eligibility by enacting a new law for Agent Orange exposed Korean veterans.

Objectives : The aim of this systemic review was to summarize and compare adverse effect of spinal manipulation at domestic and abroad. Methods : We searched articles in Korean databases and Pubmed. We selected and analysed the articles met inclusion criteria. Results : 51 cases were included. 32 cases in Pubmed show that adverse effect related to cervical rotation and high velocity low amplitude(HVLA) thrust manipulation. It leads to severe adverse effect and sequela about vascular. While, 19 cases in Korean articles shows that domestic spinal manipulation is more safe becase of lower use of high velocity low amplitude(HVLA) thrust. It leads to low incidence of vascular adverse effect and no sequela. Conclusions : We concluded that Chuna is difficult manipulation because of possibility of adverse effect. Chuna is recommended to be taken by licensed medical practitioners who are skilled and complete the regular curriculum. Further studies like meta analysis about spinal manipulation are needed to estimate incidence of adverse effect. And adverse effects are going to be collected continually through randomized controlled trials(RCT) related to spinal manipulation.

Objectives : In order to obtain the clinical type of facial palsy sequelae and try to make the treatment protocols for each, I observed patients who visited Gunpo-Wonkwang oriental medicine center with Bell’s palsy sequelae that were treated over three months. Methods : I make the value standard of muscle paralysis, contraction, synkinesis and acquired the results as follows. Results and Conclusions : 1. The distribution of age and sex was as follows : females of 41-50 years were the most common demographic, females of 51-60 years and males of 31-40 years were the second, males of 51-60 years were the third, females of 21-30 years and males of over 60 years were the fourth, and males of 41-50 years were the fifth. 2. The distributions of period of disease were as follows : 3-6 months was the most, 12-18 months was the second, 6-12 months and over 24 months was the third, and 18-24 months was the fourth. 3. The sequelae distributions of disease were as follows. In the group of 3-6 months, 12 persons (80%) showed palsy and atrophy, 10 persons (66.6%) showed synkinetics. In the group of over 6 months, all patients showed muscle palsy, muscle atrophy and synkinetics. All groups showed lower sensitivity of muscles, but the group of 18-24 months and the group of over 24 months showed more. Tinnitus was shown by the groups of 12-18 months and 3-6 months. Facial muscle pain was shown by the group of3-6 months only, Crocodile's tear was shown by the groups of 18-24 months and over 24 months. 4. The total palsy rates of sequela patients and palsy rates by muscle for disease period were as follows. The total palsy rate was 27.94%; the palsy rates for the group of 6-12 months and the group of over 24 months was lower than the total palsy rate. The rates of the groups of 3-6, 12-18, 18-24 months were higher than the total palsy rate. The palsy rate of zygomatic minor, levator labii superior muscle was higher than the total palsy rate for all groups. 5. Synkinetics manifestation rates by disease period were as follows. Total synkinetics manifestation rate was 73.81 %; the manifestation rate of the group of 6-12 months was lower than total synkinetics manifestation rate. For the groups of 12-18, 18-24, and over 24 months it was more than the total synkinetics manifestation rate. The group of over 24 months, total synkinetics induced by orbicularis oculi muscle and orbicularis oris muscle. 6. Facial muscle atrophy rates by disease period were as follows. Total atrophy rate was 5.26%; in the groups of 6-12, 18-24, over 24 months, the atrophy rates were higher than the total atrophy rate. The groups of 3-6 and 12-18 months showed lower than the total atrophy rates, while the atrophy of the levator palpebrae superioris muscle and levator palpebrae inferioris muscle was higher than in other groups.

목적 : 본 연구는 치료를 받고 있는 뇌졸중 환자 중 후유증의 유무에 따라 건강관련 삶의질(HRQOL)에 영향을 주는 건강상태의 중요도가 어떻게 달라지는지를 조사하여, 건강 관련 삶의 질 향상 방안을 위한 기초자료로 활용하는데 있다. 연구방법 : 뇌졸중 환자의 후유증 유무에 따라 HRQOL에 영향을 미치는 요인들의 중요도를 분석하기 위하여 국민건강영양조사 제5기의 자료를 활용하여 65세 이상 치료를 받고 있는 뇌졸중 환자 91명을 대상으로 2차 분석을 실시하였다. 결과 : 첫째, 후유증이 있는 뇌졸중 환자의 경우 없는 그룹보다 HRQOL과 주관적 건강상태가 유의하게 낮았으며(p<0.05), 자살 생각이 있을 위험도는 3.64였다. 둘째, 전체 그룹의 경우 주관적(${\beta}=0.39$), 정신적(${\beta}=0.29$), 의학적(${\beta}=0.23$) 건강상태가, 후유증이 있는 그룹의 경우 정신적(${\beta}=0.45$), 주관적(${\beta}=0.36$) 건강상태가, 후유증이 없는 경우 의학적(${\beta}=0.45$), 기능적(${\beta}=0.32$), 정신적(${\beta}=0.25$) 건강상태 순으로 HRQOL에 크게 영향을 주는 요인으로 추출되었다(p<0.05). 결론 : 종합하면 재활치료에 있어 뇌졸중 환자의 HRQOL 향상을 위해서는 후유증이 중증일 경우는 정신적 건강상태에 영향을 미치는 우울과 자살에 대한 조기 발견 및 조기 중재가 중요하며, 후유증이 경증이거나 없는 경우에는 기능적 회복에 초점을 맞추어 진행해야 하고, 후유증 유무와 상관없이 자신의 현 상태를 긍정적으로 받아들일 수 있도록 지속적인 지지를 해준다면 뇌졸중 환자의 기능적 회복과 더불어 HRQOL을 더욱 향상시켜 최종적으로 뇌졸중 환자의 독립적 자립에 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Although bleeding was reported before as the first symptom in a few cases of biliary atresia, this association is not generally known. We treated 115-day-old female with extrahepatic biliary atresia presented with subdural hemorrhage rather than with prolonged jaundice. Four years after craniectomy and Kasai's hepatic portojejunostomy, she looks happy without jaundice nor brain damage sequela even though she had recent episode of esophageal variceal bleeding.
