Objectives : The purpose of this study is to examine senior citizens' perception of medical welfare service in Daejeon, and to investigate the level of Korean Medicine University students' satisfaction about medical services that they have done. Methods : We visited Daejeon city hall and Dae jeon Seo-gu community health center, and interviewed them. After that we select two population and did two different surveys. First, to investigate the current state of medical services and medical welfare in Daejeon, we select neglected class senior citizens who were serviced at social welfare center. Second, we select Daejeon Korean Medicine University student to investigate the level of satisfaction about medical services and pre-education. In first population, we random select 25 of 34 senior citizen who visits mere social welfare center. In second population, we random select 78 of 115 Korean Medicine University student who belongs to medical welfare club. Results : We found some advantages and problems in medical services. A lot of senior citizen who were serviced at social welfare center showed high level of satisfaction about medical service. But there were few citizens who knows about health & medical welfare. And most Korean Medicine University student who services medical service to neglected class senior citizens showed high level of satisfaction. Conclusion : We concluded that medical welfare for senior citizen needs more publicizing. Because result of our survey, many senior citizens showed not only low level of recognition in medical welfare service, also showed low utilization rate in public health center. And most Korean Medicine University students were satisfied with themselves about medical service that they have done, it seemed medical service gives beneficial influence to not only senior citizen but also Korean Medicine University student.

Objectives : This study was carried out to assess the risk of bias of clinical trials on acne treatment with herbal medicine that have been published in Korea. Methods : 7 electronic databases in Korea were searched for clinical trials on acne treatment. Two independent reviewers selected clinical trials on herbal medicine treatment for acne. Selected studies are categorized according to DAMI(Study Design Algorithm for Medical literature of Intervention). RCTs are assessed according to Cochrane RoB(Risk of Bias), non-randomized studies(Before-after studies) are assessed according to RoBANS(Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-randomized Study). Results : After selection process, 25 articles are left. Among 25 articles, 3 RCTs and 4 before-after studies are finally included. In RCTs, the proportion of 'unclear' is high in criteria of 'random sequence generation', 'allocation concealment', and 'blinding'. In before-after studies, 'high' is high in criteria of 'blinding for outcome assessment' and 'incomplete outcome data'. Conclusions : Considering the above results of the assessment, it is necessary to conduct more well designed clinical trials on acne treatment with herbal medicine.

Objective : This study aims to evaluate a risk of bias by Risk of Bias tool and RoBANS(Risk of Bias Assessment tool for Non-randomized Study) tool for clinical trial papers proving treatment effect of herbs to alopecia and provides the newest reason of effectiveness of herbs to alopecia. Methos : Data were collected through electronic database including NDSL, KISS, KMBASE, Koreantk, OASIS, KoreaMed, KISTI, Pubmd, Cochrane CENTRAL and CINAHL. Two experts in Oriental Medince assessed risk of bias of randomized controlled trials by Cochrane group's Risk of Bias tool and non-randomized controlled trials by RoBANS tool after searching, reviewing and selecting papers. Results : Total number of selected trials is 20 including 4 randomized controlled trials, 13 non-randomized controlled trials and 3 case reports. This study evaluates the risk of bias of 17 papers including 4 randomized controlled trials and 13 non-randomized controlled trials except 3 case reports by risk of bias tool and RoBANS tool. All papers of randomized controlled trials are evaluated unclear for random sequence generation and allocation concealment as there are no word on them. And all papers of non-randomized controlled trials are evaluated unclear for blinding of outcome assessments and relatively low for others. Conclusion : We must try to specify concretely methods of allocation concealment after planning and practicing it for reducing a selection bias in randomized controlled trials. Also report a reason of missing value and blinding outcome assessments. And we have to agonize and mention methods of blinding of researchers for reducing a detection bias in non-randomized controlled trials.

Objective : This study aimed to explore the clinical feature of patients with dyspepsia who were treated by an Oriental internal medicine. Methods : We analyzed 130 patients who visited an Korean Medicine Hospital for their dyspepsia-related symptoms, from March 1, 2014 until to February 28, 2015 Results : The sex composition was consisted of 31.5% man and 68.5% woman, and 85.6% of outpatient and 14.4% of inpatient. The 39.2% of patients showed chronic complain (>6 months), and the main causes included stress and fatigue for 46.2% and 31.5% respectively. The accompanied symptoms were mainly fatigue (40.0%), insomnia (36.9%), abnormal stool (34.6%), upper back pain (31.5%), and headache (28.5%). The improvement rate was 68.5% while other (31.5%) showed no change of dysplasia. Conclusion : This study created an important information of patients with dysplasia, which will be critically helpful for development of Korean Medicine-based therapeutics in the future.

Objective : The aim of this review is to analyze the study tendency in papers on Gyejibokryeong-hwan had been published in Korea from 1990 to 2014. Methods : We searched the four electronic database(NSDL, RISS, Korean traditional knowledge portal, OASIS) and checked relevant Korean journals from 1990 to 2014. We classified the papers by publication date, speciality, study method, and field of study, and analysed the study tendency. Results : After analyzing the papers, these results are revealed : 1. 2.12 papers were published annually on average. 2. As for the speciality of the journal, most of the papers were published in Traditional Korean Medicine, and a few were in Pharmacology. 3. As for the study method, in vitro was 32%, in vivo was 30%, and clinical case was 21%, 4. As for the subject of the studies, beneficial effect was 86%, toxicity was 8%, safety, stability and qualitative analysis was 2% each. 5. As for the studies about effectiveness on the diseases, 30% at gynecologic disease and 30% at vascular disease like arteriosclerosis. There were new studies for a variety of fields like cancer, urologic, and musculoskeletal diseases. Conclusions : These results suggest that Gyejibokryeong-hwan can be used as cure medicine, but there are not sufficient evidence based papers, so there should be further studies in order to establish Gyejibokryeong-hwan as a cure medicine.
