[Objective] For one facial palsy subject with synkinesis, we applied asynchronous 100Hz EAT and examined the effects. We also examined changes in the effects according to various frequencies.
[Methods] We applied EAT to Mm.faciales, and the evaluation was based mainly on EMG findings (the EMG amplitude, EMG survival continuance time) as well as facial palsy score, VAS, ENoG. We examined changes after treatment and observed the process.
[Results] Change in EMG amplitude were not recognized, but the EMG persistance was shortened after treatment and during the process of observation. VAS, facial palsy score, and ENoG were improved. EMG persistance was not changed by 1 Hz EAT, was prolonged by 30Hz EAT, and was shortened by 100 Hz EAT.
[Conclusion] One hundred Hz EAT shortened EMG persistance, and reduced the subjective symptoms of synkinesis. In addition, we were able to improve facial palsy score and ENoG value.

  To assess the effect of pre-germinated brown rice on metabolism of glucose and lipids, blood parameters of glucose and lipids were measured before and after 3 months of intake of test rice, which was mixed with pre-germinated brown rice (PGBR) and white rice in a ratio of 1:1, in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM). Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was significantly decreased from 6.40±0.23% to 6.23±0.19 after 3 months of intake of PGBR. The fasting plasma glucose level was not changed by intake of PGBR, but serum insulin level and HOMA-IR were decreased slightly. As the decrease of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) and the increase of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c) were slightly observed after 3 months of intake of PGBR, the LDL-c/HDL-c ratio was decreased significantly from 2.03±0.13 to 1.83±0.12. These changes were significantly larger in the high PGBR in take group than in the low PGBR in take group. These results suggested that the PGBR intake might have potentialities as one of therapeutic methods for diabetes mellitus type 2 and also be useful in the freatment of hypercholesterolemia.
