Objectives : The objective of this study is to review external approaches using acupuncture and related treatments of hyperpigmentation disorders and their classification in traditional medicine. Methods and Results : Hyperpigmentation was recorded for the first time in Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases published in 610 A.D. This suggests that the symptom has already been recognized as an independent disease in East Asia for more than 1,400 years. Over the course of several centuries, there has been a significant evolution in the traditional treatments for hyperpigmentation. There are many different types of therapy, including body acupuncture, intradermal acupuncture, ear acupuncture, ear acupressure, blood-letting treatment, pharmacopuncture, plum-blossom needle therapy, burning acupuncture therapy, moxibustion, and guasha. In addition, the traditional classification of hyperpigmentation has been changing shape. However, no attempts have been made to establish the academic linkage between the modern classification of hyperpigmentation disorders and the traditional one, on account of different concepts and names of the ailment. This study was designed in an attempt to identify the linkage of the categorization of the Korean Standard Classification of Disease (KCD) and the traditional classification. Conclusions : Through this literature review, we found that there has been a significant evolution in the treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders in East Asia. Traditional medical treatment for skin disease, including hyperpigmentation, is expected to be further developed with the advancement of science and technology.

Purpose : Various free flaps and pedicled island flaps are effective for reconstruction of soft tissue defect developed after tumor excision. We want to know the advantage of dorsalis pedis island flap for reconstruction of soft tissue defect caused by soft tissue tumor excision. Materials and Methods : Between 1992 and 2002, we performed 4 dorsalis pedis island flap procedure for reconstruction of soft tissue defect of lower limb developed after soft tissue tumor excision. Average age was 54.7 years old $(40{\sim}68)$, and male 2 cases, female 2 cases. The kinds and number of soft tissue tumors were 2 squamous cell carcinoma and 2 malignant melanoma. The procedures that we performed were all dorsalis pedis island flap. The analysis for the result of treatment was retrospectively accessed by physical examination and questionnaire for whether the change of symptom after operation, range of adjacent joint motion. Also we reviewed associated complication after operative treatment. Results : All dorsalis pedis island flaps were alive. There is no problem for activity of daily living, no skin necrosis and no limitation of motion of adjacent joint. In 1 case of them, the patients died of distant metastasis. Conclusion: Dorsalis pedis island flap procedure as a pedicled island flap procedure is very effective and easy operative procedure for reconstruction of soft tissue defect of lower limb developed after tumor excision compared to free flap procedure because there is no need for microvascular surgery, we can obtain relatively large flap and the lesion and flap donor site locate in the same limb.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate occupational symptoms and chemical exposures of nail salon technicians. Methods: Work-related symptoms of nail salon technicians in Daegu City were surveyed using a researcher-administered questionnaire, and responses were compared to those of non-exposed office workers as controls. Personal exposure level of airborne volatile organic compounds was also monitored using passive samplers. Results: A total of 159 subjects in 120 salons were interviewed. Average work-shift concentrations of 13 chemicals were measured for 50 workers from 30 salons using personal passive samplers. The most frequently reported respiratory or neurologic symptoms by nail shop technicians compared to controls were nose irritation (odds ratio [OR], 54.0; confidence interval [CI], 21.6 to 134.8), followed by headache (OR, 9.3; CI, 4.7 to 18), and throat irritation (OR, 4.3; CI, 2.2 to 8.5). For eyes and skin, 92% of respondents complained eye irritation (OR, 13.1; CI, 5.7 to 30.1). In musculoskeletal symptoms, workers reported pain or discomfort in shoulders (OR, 20.3; CI, 7.7 to 54) and neck (OR, 19.7; CI, 8.9 to 43.6). From personal measurements, the proportion of exceeding the Korean Occupational Exposure Limit was the highest for acetone with 64%, followed by toluene (50%), butyl acetate (46%), and methyl methacrylate (12%). However, the service was being provided without a proper ventilation system in most surveyed shops. Conclusions: Based on these findings, it is warranted to have appropriate local exhaust ventilation place to ensure adequate health protection of nail shop technicians as well as customers. At the same time, greater policy interests are warranted in nail care business to protect health of both workers and customers.

외배엽이형성증(Ectodermal dysplasia, ED)은 외배엽에서 분화되는 조직에 다양한 선천적 이형성이 나타나는 유전적 질환이다. 외배엽이형성증 중에서 저한성 외배엽이형성증(Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, HED)은 가장 흔한 유형으로 주로 모발, 손톱, 치아, 그리고 피부에 이형성을 보인다. 남성에서 여성보다 증상이 심하게 나타나며, 보인자인 여성은 정상으로 보이는 경우가 많다. 이러한 환자를 위한 치료는 개인마다 차이가 있으나, 다수의 치아상실로 인한 저작 및 발음기능의 저하 뿐만아니라 심미적이지 못한 안모로 사회적, 정서적 우울감에 빠지기 쉬우므로 조기치료가 요구된다. 본 증례에서는 조선대학교 치과병원 소아치과에 내원하여 상악의 부분무치증 및 하악의 무치증을 보이는 HED로 진단된 10세 남아에서 의치제작을 통해 저작력의 증가, 발음기능의 회복 및 안면고경의 증가로 심미성이 개선된 좋은 결과를 보였다
