Objectives : The purpose of this study is to know the shisho constitutional distribution of outpatients at the Center for Kampo Medicine, Keio University School of Medicine (the Keio Kampo Center, herein) and to find out if there are differences in the type of diseases and symptoms according to shisho constitution.
Methods : We collected data from 366 outpatients at the Keio Kampo Center. All did a SSCQ-P (shisho Constitution Questionnaire for Patients) to obtain a shisho constitution diagnosis. We then classified their shisho constitutions and surveyed disease and symptom prevalence according to same.
Results : 1 : Among the 366 outpatients, distribution rates for Taiyojin, Syoyojin, Taiinjin, and Syoinjin were 0.8%, 27.3%, 28.7%, and 43.2% respectively. 2 : And the prevalence of V. Mental and behavioral disorders, XI. Diseases of the digestive system, XV. Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium, and Feeling of coldness (under XVIII. Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, NEC) items for Shoinjin were significantly higher than those for the other constitutions. (p < 0.05)
Conclusions : The distribution rate for shisho in 366 outpatients at the Keio Kampo Center was different from that in Korea, with the rate for shoinjin in these outpatients at the Center especially, being significantly higher than that for Koreans. There were also significant differences in the prevalence of some diseases and symptoms in shoinjin group.

In 1984, Gustilo subgrouped type III open fracture into III a, III b and III c according to the severity, soft tissue damage and vascular injury. Type III c open fracture presents serious problems especially possible amputation due to vascular insufficiency, so emergency vascular surgery with bone fixation by using plate, IM nail fixator is mandatory. We reviewed 10 cases of type III c open fracture of the forearm and evaluated the bone healing process according to fixation method, intramedullary nailing and plating treated at Orthopaedic Department of Sung-Ae General Hospital from Feb. 1986 to Aug. 1988. The folliwing results were obtained: l. All cases were industrial accidents, 9 cases in right, and the mean age was 24.1 ranging from 17 to 34. 2. There were 4 cases of the radial & ulnar artery rupture and 6 cases of the radial artery rupture, 7 cases were treated end to end anastomosis and 3 cases with vein graft. 3. The fracture level of ulna & radius was same in all cases, 7 cases in distal one-third, 2 cases in middle one-third and 1 case in proximal one-third. 4. The average time of union was 14.1 weeks in the radius and 14.5 weeks in the ulna. 5. The fixation methods were plating in 7 cases and IM nailing in 3 cases. 6. The complications were non-union in 1 case, osteomyelitis in 2 cases and refracture in 1 case. 7. The functional result was excellent in 1 case, satisfactory in 3 cases, unsatisfactory in 5 cases, and failure in 1 case according to the rating system of Anderson.

Fractures of the tibia are frequently encountered in mordern civilized society. Especially, those in distal 1/3 of the tibia have so many problems, such as angular deformity, osteomyelitis and nonunion because of anatomically scanty soft tissue. Many modalities of the treatment of fracture of distal 1/3 of the tibia were introduced. Among them, interlocking IM nailings were considered as one of the best modality. But, in interlocking IM nail, reaming of the medullary canal which destroys the endosteal circulation and causes thermal necrosis of the inner aspect of the cortical bone results in delayed union. And also, procedure for distal screw fixation is difficult and time-consuming. As for using flexible IM nails for fractures of distal 1/3 of the tibia, it was considered as not so satisfactory method due to lack of stability of fixation. However, the stability of fixation can be strengthened with fanning of the nails in distal fragment, using more than 3 nails and delay the protected weight bearing. Authors studied 25 cases of fractures of distal 1/3 of the tibia treated with closed flexible IM nailing at Sung Ae General Hospital, from July., 1987 to July., 1989, and obtained following results: 1. Among 25 cases, 4th decades were most common and males were more commonly involved. 2. Traffic accidents were the most common causes of injury and majority of 16 open fractures and 19 comminuted fractures, were caused by high energy mechanism. Among open fractures, type II were most common. 3. Two angular deformities less than 10 degrees, one proximal migration and one checkrein deformity were observed as complications, but, no clinically significant complications were noted. 4. The time for radiological union were 14.5 weeks in group without fibular fracture and 15.1 weeks in group with fibular fracture, and 14.0 weeks in closed fracture group and 17.2 weeks in open fracture group, and average in 15.6 weeks.

Recently, the efficacy of immuno-oncologic agents for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been proven in several trials. In particular, atezolizumab with bevacizumab (AteBeva), as a first-line therapy for advanced HCC, has shown tremendous advances in the IMBrave150 study. However, second or third-line therapy after treatment failure with AteBeva has not been firmly established. Moreover, clinicians have continued their attempts at multidisciplinary treatment that includes other systemic therapy and radiotherapy (RT). Here, we report a case that showed a near complete response (CR) of lung metastasis to nivolumab with ipilimumab therapy after achieving a near CR of intrahepatic tumor using sorafenib and RT in a patient with advanced HCC who had experienced treatment failure of AteBeva.

M-mode echocardiograms were recorded in 268 apparently healthy young male adults and the mitral valve motion during systole was analyzed. In 149 cases( 55.6%) out of 268 the predominant echo of mitral valve closure(CD line) was recorded as smooth line moving slowly anteriorly, in 48 cases(17.9%) the CD line showed an abrupt transient posterior motion during early systole, in 24 cases(9.0%) there were multiple additional echoes posterior to the CD line, 17 cases(6.3%) the mitral valve closure was recorded as pansystolic anteriorly concave echo deviating less than 2 mm from a drawn CD line, and 10 cases(3.7%) as curvilinear and anteriorly convex echo deviating from a drawn CD line. In the remaining 20 cases(7.5%), the mitral valve closure was recorded as pansystolic anteriorly concave echo deviating more than 2 mm from a drawn CD line, which was categorized to have mitral valve prolapse in the current study. However, there were no significant differneces in various echocardiographic dimensions of the heart and the aorta between those with and without mitral valve prolapse.
