Objectives : We implemented the Artemisia Extract Moxibustion Method and had the clinical tests for the diabetes with it. Methods : We implemented Artemisia extract made by extracting the vasodilator and antioxidant compounds from Artemisia-CH2C12 fraction and the moxibustion method constructed with DC Power supply, controller, Artemisia pad. single and multiple heating terminal with PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor. And we performed to estimate the efficiency on the questionnaire and the clinical tests with 23 cases of the diabetics. Results : We have estimated the improvement over 60% the symptoms that were the upper and lower limbs pain, frequent urination, spontaneous perspiration, thirst, decrease of body weight, and malaise after the moxibustion treatment on 5 cases among 23 cases. And the 19 cases took the biochemical check-up after the moxibustion treatment. From the results of biochemical check-up, the average HbAlc of before treatment was 8.400%, and after treatment 7.632%. The average HbAlc was decreased significantly after treatment (P<0.001). And the average urinary blood of before treatment was 0.73 and after treatment 0.27. The average urinary blood was decreased significantly after treatment (P<0.001). In addition the average FBS before treatment was 182.64 mg/dl, after treatment 161.77 mg/dl. Conclusions : We could estimate that our proposed moxibustion method was a significant treatment method for the diabetes.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The number of diabetic patients has recently shown a rapid increase, and delayed wound healing is a major clinical complication in diabetes. In this study, the wound healing effect of Hominis placenta (HP) treatment was investigated in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. MATERIALS/METHODS: Four full thickness wounds were created using a 4 mm biopsy punch on the dorsum. HP was injected subcutaneously at the middle region of the upper and lower wounds. Wounds were digitally photographed and wound size was measured every other day until the 14th day. Wound closure rate was analyzed using CANVAS 7SE software. Wound tissues were collected on days 2, 6, and 14 after wounding for H/E, immunohistochemistry for FGF2, and Masson's trichrome staining for collagen study. RESULTS: Significantly faster wound closure rates were observed in the HP treated group than in normal and diabetes control mice on days 6 and 8. Treatment with HP resulted in reduced localization of inflammatory cells in wounded skin at day 6 in normal mice and at day 14 in diabetic mice (P < 0.01). Expression of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 2 showed a significant increase in the HP treated group on day 14 in both normal (P < 0.01) and diabetic mice (P < 0.05). In addition, HP treated groups showed a thicker collagen layer than no treatment groups, which was remarkable on the last day, day 14, in both normal and diabetic mice. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, HP treatment has a beneficial effect on acceleration of cutaneous wound healing via regulation of the entire wound healing process, including inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.

The chromosomes of all the world are the same in all 24 pairs, but the key, skin color and appearance are different. Also, it is the resistance of adult disease, diabetes, cancer. In 1953, Watson, Crick of Cambridge University experimentally discovered a DNA double helix structure, and in 1962, They laureates the Nobel Prize. In 1964, Temin, University of Wisconsin, USA, experimentally identified the ability to copy gene information from RNA to DNA and received the Nobel Prize in 1975. In this paper, we analyzed 24 pairs of DNA chromosomes using mathematical matrices based on the combination order sequence of four groups, and designed the Taegeuk pattern genetic code for the first time in the world. In the case of normal persons, the middle Yin-Yang taegeuk is designed as a block circulant Jacket matrix in DNA, and the left-right and upper-lower pairs of east-west and north-south rulings are designed as pair complementary matrices. If (C U: A G) chromosomes are unbalanced, that is, people with disease or inheritance become squashed squirming patterns. In 2017, Professor Michel Young was awarded a Nobel by presenting a biological clock and experimentally explained the bio-imbalance through a yellow fruit fly experiment.This study proved mathematical matrices for balanced and unbalanced RNA.

A 61-years old man with diabetes mellitus(DM) was admitted to our hospital, complaining of progressive right periorbital swelling, headache and toothache on the right lower second molar. On the first visit, moderate swelling was noticed from the right periorbital region with exophthalmos and subconjunctival effusion. Intraorally, right lower second molar had a severe periodontal disease and fistular formation on its distal area. From 3 days after hospitalization, the visual acuity of his right eye was gradually worsen and we performed CT scan. CT scan demonstrated an inflammatory change at the right orbit with subperiosteal abscess at the inferior orbital wall, which was extended from the right infratemporal, parapharyngeal and internal pterygoid space. Patient was treated by mean of intraoral(right upper vestibular and retromolar) and extraoral(infraorbital) incision and drainage, massive anti-therapy and DM control. The patient improved gradually and finally was discharged from the hospital, but his visual loss of right side was not recovered.

Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are the representative sleep disordered breathings, caused by the temporary and repetitive constriction or obstruction of upper airway during sleep. They present with excessively vibratory noise and repetitive cease of respiration. These disorders commonly result in sleep disturbance and the subsequent daytime sleepiness, chronic fatigue. Furthermore, they can cause the serious and extensive complications including increased risk of hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular accident, neurocognitive disturbance, traffic and occupational accidents, type II diabetes, childhood growth interruption, awakening headache and finally, relatively increased mortality rate. Because appropriate therapeutic intervention is best way for patients to relieve their symptoms and prevent their possible complications, it is very important for dentists to recognize their own role and responsibility in diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. For this, the present article provides the understanding of the clinical features, possible complications, various treatment modalities, and suitable treatment strategies for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

We had researched an automatic authentication-supported medical information platform[6]. The proposed automatic authentication consists of user authentication and mobile terminal authentication, and the authentications are performed simultaneously in patients' emergency conditions. In this paper, we studied on finding emergency conditions for the automatic authentication by applying big data processing and AI mechanism on the extended medical information platform with an added edge computing system. We used big data processing, SVM, and 1-Dimension CNN of AI mechanism to find emergency conditions as authentication means considering patients' underlying diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and arrhythmia. To quickly determine a patient's emergency conditions, we placed edge computing at the end of the platform. The medical information server derives patients' emergency conditions decision values using big data processing and AI mechanism and transmits the values to an edge node. If the edge node determines the patient emergency conditions, the edge node notifies the emergency conditions to the medical information server. The medical server transmits an emergency message to the patient's charge medical staff. The medical staff performs the automatic authentication using a mobile terminal. After the automatic authentication is completed, the medical staff can access the patient's upper medical information that was not seen in the normal condition.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the remodeling process of the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat's resected condyle. This experiment was performed with male Sprague-Dawly strain rats weighing approximately 250 gm, which were rendered diabetic by an intravenous injection of streptozotocin(70㎎/㎏ body weight). After condylectomy, experimental rats were serially terminated on the 1st week, the 2nd week, the 3rd week, and the 4th week. The following termination, the mandibles were dissected out to make specimens. Each mandibular condyle was radiographed with Hitex HA-80(Hitex Co., Ltd. Japan). In addition to radiographic observation, the mandibular condyles, further decalcified and embedded in paraffin, were sectioned and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin, Toluidine blue and Masson's trichrome. They were observed with a light microscope and a polarizing microscope. The results were as follows. 1. Soft X-ray radiograms revealed proliferation of bone after 1 week in both groups. Irregularly repaired bones and dense trabeculae were clearly observed in experimental group. 2. The resected condyles were repaired by intramembraneous and endochondral bone formation in both groups. 3. Bone tissue repair was initiated from the adjacent margin of resected bone, and cartilaginous tissues were observed at the top of repaired bone in both groups. 4. The number of osteoblasts of experimental group was small, compared with control group. Each osteoblast was small and flat. The thin trabeculae were irregularly formed. 5. Collagens of bone were gradually matured in both groups, but the degree of maturation was lower in experimental group. 6. Fibrous tissues covered the upper parts of repaired bone were densely arranged in the both groups. Conclusively, atrophied osteoblasts, immature collagen of bone, and thin and irregular trabeculae which were characterized in the diabetes experimental group showed diabetes disturbed osteoblastic function and caused disturbance of remodeling process of bone.

Objective : Diabetic gastroparesis is a complication that is defined as delayed gastric emptying and upper gastrointestinal symptoms and often occurs in long-standing diabetic patients. Bojungikgi-tang (BJT) is a traditional oriental herbal formula that has long been used for the treatment of digestive disorders. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of BJT on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic gastroparesis rat model. Methods : Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats (250-270g) were divided into 13 groups including normal group, STZ-induced diabetic control group, BJT diet (7 various concentrations), and insulin-, glibenclamide-, metformin-treated group were used for the experiments for the comparison. Diabetic gastroparesis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ. The water intake, food intake, body weights and fasting blood glucose levels were measured. After 4 weeks the animals were sacrificed and gastrin, leptin, insulin, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), lactate, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), bilirubin, creatinine, albumin and lipid levels were evaluated. Results : Intraperitoneal injection of BJT for 4 weeks resulted in increased levels of gastrin in blood and decreased leptin and lactate concentration in STZ-induced diabetic gastroparesis rat model. BJT did not affect insulin, fasting glucose, HbA1c, and lipid levels in STZ-induced diabetic gastroparesis rat model. Conclusion : These results indicated that BJT would have protect effect on diabetic gastroparesis through the improvement effect of gastric motility and fatigue syndrome in STZ-induced diabetic rats. This study shows that BJT might be effective for treatment of diabetes and its complications such as gastroparesis.

연구배경 : 재 감염 결핵의 경우 대부분이 폐 상부를 침범하므로 폐 하야에만 단독으로 결핵이 있는 경우에 폐 결핵보다는 폐렴, 폐암, 기관지 확장증, 폐농양등을 먼저 생각할 수 있어 이로 인해 진단이 늦어지거나 오진 되는 경우가 흔히 있다. 이에 저자들은 폐하야에만 결핵이 침범된 환자를 대상으로 그 임상 양상과 진단 방법을 후향적으로 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 대상 환자는 1992년 1월부터 1994년 12월까지 한양대학교 의과대학 부속병원에 내원한 활동성 폐결핵 환자 724명중 폐 하야에만 결핵이 침범되어 있는 50명을 대상으로 하였다. 결 과 빈도 : 총 결핵 환자 724명중 폐 하야 결핵은 50예로 6.9%의 빈도를 보였다. 연령 및 성별 분포 : 남녀 비는 1 : 1.9로 여성에서 호발 하였다. 평균 연령은 43세 이었으며 고령 층에도 비교적 고른 분포를 나타내고 있었다. 임상 증상 : 기침이 34 (68%)로 가장 흔하였고 그외에 객담 26예(52%), 발열 19예(38%), 흉부 불쾌감 15예(30%)순으로 나타났다. 흉부 X-선 소견 : 우측에 더 호발 하는 양상을 보였고 침범 양상은 경변이 있는 경우가 26예(52%)로 가장 흔했고 고립종, 폐 허탈, 공통 형성 순으로 나타났다. 기관지 결핵 : 40%에서 나타났고 남녀 비는 1 : 3으로 여성에서 호발 하였으며 환자의 평균 연령은 44세였으며 고령층에서도 비교적 고른 분포를 보였다. 검사별 양성률 : 폐 하야 결핵 환자 총 50명중 단순객담 도말 검사 및 배양으로 25명이 진단되었고, 기관지 내시경 검사를 통해 9명이 추가로 진단되었으며 세침 흡입 조직 검사를 통해 16명이 추가 진단되었다. 기관지 내시경을 이용한 경우의 진단률(75.0%)이 단순 객담을 이용한 검사의 진단률(50.0%)보다 높은 양성률을 보였다. 동반 질환 : 당뇨병이 18%에서 동반되어 가장 많이 나타났으며 그 외에 빈혈, 류마티스 관절염과 신증후군으로 전신성 스테로이드를 사용한 경우, 신경성 식욕 불량증, 위암 등의 합병증이 있었다. 결 론 : 아직 결핵 환자가 많은 우리나라에서 폐하야에 병변이 있는 경우에 특히 당뇨병, 빈혈, 전신적 스테로이드를 사용하는 경우, 악성 종양 등 면역을 저하시키는 질환이 동반된 경우에는 결핵의 가능성을 항상 생각해야 하며 폐하야 결핵의 연령층이 젊은 연령에서 고령층으로 이동하고 있으므로 고령층에서도 이의 가능성에 유의하여야 할 것으로 생각된다. 또 폐하야 결핵에서 단순 객담을 이용한 항산균 도말 검사 및 배양 검사의 양성률이 낮으며 기관지 결핵의 동반률이 높으므로 기관지 내시경, 세침 흡입 조직 검사의 방법이 조기에 사용 되어야 하며 이를 통해 진단률을 높이는데 도움이 되리라 생각 된다.
