  • This study was performed to report the effectiveness of upper cervical chuna and release of cranial base on patients with dry eye syndrome. The patients diagnosed as dry eye syndrome and treated with upper cervical chuna and release of cranial base. Outcomes were measured by ocular surface disease index(OSDI). After treatments, discomfort and ocular surface disease index decreased. These results suggest that upper cervical chuna and release of cranial base were effective on patients with dry eye syndrome.

  • 최근 일부 연구자에 의해 근막의 자율신경지배가 보고되고 있다. 그러나 근막이완술의 효과에 대한 신경 생리학적 설명과 근거는 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 근막이완술에 의해 자율신경계의 흥분이 변화될 수 있는지의 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 건강한 20대 피검자 30명을 15명씩 무작위로 근막이완술군(MG)과 위약대조군(PCG)로 배치하였다. 근막이완술군으로 배정된 피검자들에게는 치료대에 바로 누운 자세에서 두개 기저부 이완기법(cranial base release)을 5분간 적용하였고 위약대조군으로 배정된 피검자들은 같은 자세와 절차를 거치지만 실제 근막이완술을 적용하지 않는 위약 치료를 적용하였다. 근육의 유연성은 경부의 관절가동범위로 측정하였으며 자율신경계의 변화는 심박수, 혈압 그리고 에피네프린과 노르에피네프린의 수치로 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 근막이완술군에서 신전과 측방굴곡의 가동범위 변화율이 유의하게 증가하였다. 2. 심박수와 혈압, 그리고 에피네프린의 변화율은 두 군간 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. 노르에피네프린의 변화율은 두 군간 유의한 차이가 있었다. 본 연구의 결과 근막이완술이 자율신경계의 흥분을 변화 시킬 수 있다는 근거는 없었다.

  • Craniosynostosis is the premature fusion of one or more sutures of either cranial vault or base. Fused sutures may impede normal growth of the calvaria, leading to characteristic skull deformities; Morphological craniosynostosis is classified descriptively. Being craniosynostosis uncorrected the deformity progresses continuously and causes an increase of intracranial pressure. The surgical involvement aims at the expansion of intracranial space as well as satisfactory achievement of craniofacial shape. Early surgical correction in infancy prevents the deformity from the further progression and possible associated complication of high intracranial pressure. A long period of follow-up is essential to asses the outcome of an effectiveness of the surgery. measurement of intracranial volume has been concerned in medical personnel and anthropologists for many years. A reliable and accurate measurements of the intracranial volume facilitates to make a diagnosis and treatment of craniosynostosis. Pre-and postoperative change of intracranial volume was evaluated with 3D CT scanning in 12 cases of craniosynostosis who underwent frontal advancement and total cranial vault remodeling. Increased intracranial volume is attributed to surgical release of craniosynostosis and natural growth. We conceive that the intracranial volume is significantly increased after surgical correction of fused cranial sutures and along with natural growing. A procedure of frontal advancement and total cranial vault remodeling is very useful to correct such a deformity as craniosynostosis. And also 2 cases out of five mentally retarded patients improved remarkably and Forehead retrusion or temporal depression followed in another two cases.

  • This study was performed to report the case of Korean medical treatment for the Patulous Eustachian tube patient with headache. The patient was treated by acupuncture, herbal medicine, bee venom injection, needle-embedding therapy, chuna therapy, release of cranial base and sacro-occipital therapy. Korean medical treatment was administered during 3 weeks. The improvement of clinical symptoms was evaluated by VAS (visual analogue scale) and SF-36 (36-Item Short Form Healthy Survey Instrument). After treatment, most symptoms decreased, headache VAS score changed 10 to 6 and tinnitus VAS score changed 10 to 5. Also, most SF-36 scores increased. Our study suggested that Korean medical treatments are effective in the patient with Patulous Eustachian tube. And further studies are required to identify underlying mechanism of treatment.
