According to the development of information processing technology and computer hardware, PACS systems have been installed in many hospitals. They can increase the efficiency and the convenience remarkably for handling medical images using digitalized data. After we compare the generation images with other cases, we can read the images correctly and decide how to treat the patients. If the results, included test method and specialist's opinion, are represented dynamically on homepage in hospital. then visitors can get their experience in directly and understand the field of examination and the area of medical treatment. In this thesis, we display the effective images such as MR of the abnormal cases according to parts and diseases, the movie and still images such as Angio image, the other multimedia materials such as the sound and text of doctor's opinions, in SMIL based on XML, concerning the problem of concurrency.

In this study, the authors aimed to give careful consideration to the circulation of bioenergy (Qi) by using cardiorespiratory massage technique. Finding enlightenment in harmony with nature thousands of years ago, our ancestors created Qi using natural breathing and tried to achieve good health and long life by controling the up and down movement. Experiencing the importance of the abdomen during the hungry times, also, grandmothers cured diseases by rubbing the abdomen, which is the ocean of life with their soft, soothing touch of hand. Naval breathing therapy was formed, based on natural breathing, emotional recognition of grandmothers' soft, soothing touch, and the Theory of Unified Reason and Energy that is the key of Oriental medicine. Natural breathing and Yakson massage are kinds of naturopathy to change body and mind, cure diseases naturally, and maintain the improvement in physical functions by taking care of the abdomen through the creation of Qi and the up and down movement and keeping dynamic balance between the natural world and the inside and outside of human body. It is anticipated that this study could contribute to the practical spread for an active application of naval breathing therapy and be broadly used in scientific clinical researches.

Purpose : The acupuncture existed more than 2000 years and has flourished not only in Asia but also in medical field of modern world. In addition, empirical evidences from biomedicine have been expended in many ways in order to objectify the field of acupuncture. Thus, the effect and mechanism of the acupuncture has been revealed in human and other animals. In this article, I attempt to explain what doctors and patients subjectively experience through acupuncture treatment and its clinical significance based on mind-body medicine. Methods : The experience and clinical significance of the acupuncture was examined in the view of mind-body medicine, also reviewed research trends related to meditation understanding the clinical effectiveness of acupuncture. Results and Conclusions : Traditional Korean medical doctor perceive generally "jogi " and "chishin " meaning the regulation of the balance of the various functions in the human body and patient's consciousness and psychology state as mightily important concept concerning the therapeutic effect of acupuncture. Despite scientific approach to objective understanding of the acupuncture was performed in the meantime, practitioners put emphasis on experience based on sensate and interaction between doctor-patient. As it reflects the recent understanding of the psychological effects associated with the clinical efficacy of acupuncture, it has been presented one by one through neuroscience and cognitive science. Therefore it is important that interpreting the clinical effectiveness of acupuncture into Mind-body medicine can form a new awareness and attitudes toward traditional medicine.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand and describe the experiences of patients with Meniere disease. Methods: Data were collected from February 19, 2019, to February 5, 2020, through individual in-depth interviews with 13 Meniere patients. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis. Results: The experiences of patients with Meniere disease were clustered into the following four themes from 22 meaning units: 1) Complex unfamiliar symptoms that shatter both balance of the body and peace of the heart; 2) A disease that medical treatment and health professionals cannot cure; 3) Suffering hardships that cannot be understood by non-Meniere sufferers; and 4) Making daily efforts to become healthier. Symptoms of Meniere disease are life-shattering and depressing because they are neither visible nor easily curable. Over time, as they accepted the reality of living with the disease, the participants would shift their focus from complete symptomatic cure to leading a healthy and more balanced life. Conclusion: This study shows that Meniere disease has a pervasive impact on all aspects of the patients' lives. Patients are prone to experiencing restrictions in their social functioning and activities. They also experience psychosocial problems due to the unseen nature of their symptoms. This study elucidates the experiences of Meniere patients and the need for nursing intervention to help improve their quality of life and ability to self-manage. Lastly, this study shows the need for a coordinated interdisciplinary approach to raising public awareness of the disease.

And 5) "Introspection of past and future life" describes positive turnings in life through enlightenment in addition to remorseful feeling about the past and persistent worry of death. Conclusion: Health professionals need to support men with myocardial infarction by providing family-oriented and empowerment-based self-management interventions to lead to success in their illness journey and to improve their quality of life.

"황제내경(黃帝內經)"(간칭(簡稱)"내경(內經)")의 내용을 임상치료와 진단에서 사용하면서 얻은 체험을 종합해보면 다음과 같다. 1. "내경(內經)"에서는 병을 치료하는 방법과 기술에 있어서는 대부분 직접 어느 한 가지 질병에 어떠한 치료방법을 사용할 것과 그 치료방법의 구체적인 조작방법과 사용에 대하여 기록하고 있다. 이러한 기록은 저자가 진실로 보고 들은 것으로서 거짓됨이 없다. "내경(內經)"에는 치료 방법만으로도 침구(鍼灸), 약물요법(藥物療法)뿐만이 아니라 또한 방복수법(放腹水法)이 있으며, 물리강온법(物理降溫法), 단식요법(斷食療法), 수술절제법(手術切除法), 압추경동맥강온법(壓推頸動脈降溫法)(자절진사(刺節眞邪)), 견인(牽引), 자료(磁療) 및 "딸꾹질을 치료하는 세 가지 방법" 등 거의 30가지에 가까운 치료방법들이 기재되어 있다. 2. "내경('內經)"의 이론은 어느 한 사랑의 손에서 만들어진 것이 아니며 또한 어느 한 시기에 저술 된 것도 아니다. "각가학설(各家學說)"의 성격을 띠고 있다. 3. "내경('內經)"에서는 글귀가 간결하고 함축성이 아주 강하므로 한마디에 많은 뜻을 내포하고 있다. 그러므로 임상에서 사용할 때 그 뜻을 잘 이해하면서 사용해야 한다. 4. "내경(內經)"을 연구하는 사람들이 "내경(內經)"의 이론을 임상에서 사용할 때 가장 먼저 장중경선사(張仲景先師)를 본받아 여러 의학자들의 장점을 취해야 한다. "상한잡병론(傷寒雜病論)"에서는 곳곳에 내경(內經)"의 취지를 나타내고 있으며 내경(內經)" 에 나오는 방법을 치료의 원칙으로 삼고 있다. 치료원칙은 대부분 "음양응상대론(陰陽應象大論)의 기준으로 삼고 있다.

Purpose: This study was to present home-care cases of gangrene sores or prevalent diseases using fake energy salt (FES) water containing energy. Methods: The health functional foods used for disease management were FES Water. Each product was Myeongil Leaf powder, dried yeast, propolis, fermented organic calcium, and royal jelly. Changes were investigated after taking this food. Some of them were combined with hospital treatment, and most of them were experienced by patients at home while managing the affected area. Results: One patient with high fever swine flu, who was treated in a hospital, had a fever dropping to the normal range in 2 hours, and one patient with a leg fracture healed in about six weeks, and one patient had bone adhesion in 2 weeks. Patients with rhinitis recovered after taking FES, and the intraocular pressure of patients with damaged retinopathy fell from 40 mmHg to 20 mmHg after taking FES. One patient with postpartum sequelae was said to have improved their aching limbs four days, and a Covid-19 confirmed patient admitted to the hospital was discharged ten days after starting taking FES during treatment. The size of the gangrene sores in 19 subjects initially ranged from 1 to 7 cm. Most of them were alleviated or healed by continuing to manage them at home with health functional food intake and FES for two weeks to a year. Conclusions: The above results are personal experiences and health functions, such as fake energy salts. It was possible to recognize that food was helpful for health promotion, but no final medical diagnosis was made.
