Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is characterized by progressive scarring of the lung leading to restriction and diminished oxygen transfer. Clinically, the presenting symptoms of ILD are nonspecific (cough and progressive dyspnea on exertion) and are often attributed to other diseases, thus delaying diagnosis and timely therapy. In this study, I analyzed the 10 chinese papers of interstitial lung diseases(ILD). The etiology are body resistance weakness(本虛) and pathogenic factor prevailing(標實). The body resistance weakness(本虛) including deficiency of the lung(肺虛), deficiency of the kidney(腎虛), deficiency of the spleen(脾虛), deficiency of Qi and Yin(氣陰兩虛), pathogenic factor prevailing(標實) including stagnation of phlegm(痰濁), blood stasis(瘀血), noxious heat(熱毒). As an treatment aim at supplementing lung and kidney(益肺腎), resolving phlegm and blood stasis(化痰瘀).

Cough is not only serves to maintain normal function of respiratory tract, but also many diseases may lead to this symptom. In Korean medicine, Zhudanxi(朱丹溪), was the first to classify cough according to the different stages of time. In this research, I investigated the stage of Nocturnal Cough(夜嗽) through 26 oriental medical books. As a result, deficiency of Yin(陰虛) was the most common causes of Nocturnal Cough and indigestion(食積) is the next. Liuweidihuang-tang(六味地黃湯) prescribed as the treatment for Yin Xu(陰虛) and Xeibaisan-jiawei(瀉白散加味) prescribed as the treatment for indigestion(食積).

In this paper, examined characteristics of EEG(electroencephalogram) variation when the stimulation was given to lung-wan(CV12), Shin-gwol(CV8) and Gwan-won(CV4) which were some of the acupuncture point, through indirect moxibustion and No stimulation. The EEG signals were measured before the stimulation, during the stimulation, and 1 hour after the stimulation. The measured time domain data were converted to the frequency domain data FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) and frequency power spectrum. Then the $\alpha,\beta,\delta$, and $\theta$ waves were analyzed for variation to the amplitude of vibration according to the stages of stimulation.

As entering the information age of the 21st century, Korea is actively processing many digitalizing businesses related to information source of the Korean academic science at the government level based on the Korean advanced digital technologies, which makes them more evolved through the internet networks in Korea. The definition of 'Newly found ideographs(新出漢字)' are made by researching and extracting from the old Chinese documents through the digitalizing process and they are not registered yet among the block of Unicode & extended Chinese characters those are existent international standard. Presently Korea is in the middle of brisk developing computerized old documents in the huge scale. Meanwhile, the international standard of Chinese characters in mostly Asian countries where using them is processing and developing by IRG. Therefore, Korean processing works is very important which are included extracting precisely 'Newly found ideographs' founded from building its database, organizing as an international standard code, submitting the International organization and finally registering as the best standard code.

Objectives : Our study aims to help users take the medicinal materials in a desirable manner by providing toxic and contraindicating information, based on the ontology of medicinal materials in traditional Korean medicine (TKM). Methods : The toxic and contraindicating data are extracted for 160 medicinal materials from 67 books published in Korea and China. The extracted data are linked to the medicinal material in the ontology, respectively. Results : We in this paper construct an ontology for toxic and contraindicating data of medicinal materials in traditional Korean medicine (TKM), extending our conventional ontology. Based on the ontology, we devised a web-based searching tool that enables users to share the toxic and contraindicating information of medicinal materials. Conclusions : The contents in our ontology are facts based on the books, while the addition of clinical knowledge may elaborate the ontology. Moreover, the addition of easy explanations for terminologies in our ontology is required to help users which are not familiar to TKM.

In this paper, we propose a method of analysing the relation between the patient's face color and his(her) kidney disease using image processing technology. This method is based on the ocular inspection which is one of the most famous diagnosis methods used in the oriental medical system. The way of processing and analysing the face image, which is for visualization and objectification of the color difference, is included. The objects are selected from the patients who suffer the kidney disease and use the hemodialyzer. Their facial images and clinical data are collected. From these data, we propose a hypothesis that the color of the patient's face is changed according to the patient's kidney state. At the same time, we present two algorithms of extracting the specific part of face which can identify the state of the patient's kidney and tracing the history of the color's change. This proposed method is evaluated through the practical experiments and their analysis.

The ECG which used for this paper, is analysis result from alogrisms of arrythmia, and we have studied that how we could certain Cold(寒 )type or Heat(熱) type and that Deficiency(虛) type or Excess(實)type of organs from various special diseases, and we obtained like these results. 1. we depend on our examination about Pulse(脈) because we can't discriminate arrythmia using EKG analysis instruments. 2. We obtained that Cold(寒) type diseases had wave that prolonged above normal baseline and ST wave which had downward aptitude. 3. We obtained that Heat(熱) type diseases had the fibrillation which had shortend wave that compare to normal and had downward aptitude or negative aptitude. 4. We obtained that Respiratory system (肺) diseases had wave that is within normal or is short of normal range and had much fluctuation in potential difference or trans on P wave. 5. The character of EKG which presented about diseases of gastric systems is prolonged above narmal range of wave, and the EKG had represented mixed wave with Heat(熱) type when accompany inflammatory in gastric system. 6. The wave of Blood Stasis(瘀血) type had upward aptitude of QRS wave, and the wave of anemia or blood loss type(少血 ) had downward aptitude of QRS wave, the wave which had both Cold(寒) and Heat (熱) represented mixed waves. 7. The Knotted Pulse(結脈) and Intermittent Pulse(代脈) is corresponded with sinus brady cardia, and the Swift Pulsle(疾脈) is corresponded with fibrillation. 8. We pay attention to the relations of formations about pressures pulse from formations of EMD( electromechanical dissociation ). From these results, we will have to study about EKG which using in tests of change of Parkinsons disease.

In this paper, we propose a home medical system that integrates a self-diagnosing disease classification system and a tele-consulting system by communication technology. The proposed disease classification system supports to self-diagnose the health condition based on oriental medical science using fuzzy neural network algorithm. The prepared database includes 72 different diseases and their associated symptoms based on a famous medical science book "Dong-eui-bo-gam". The proposed system extracts three most prospective diseases from user's symptoms by analyzing disease database with fuzzy neural network technology. Technically, user's symptoms are used as an input vector and the clustering algorithm based upon a fuzzy neural network is performed. The degree of fuzzy membership is computed for each probable cluster and the system infers the three most prospective diseases with their degree of membership. Such information should be sent to medical doctors via our tele-consulting system module. Finally a user can take an appropriate consultation via video images by a medical doctor. Oriental medical doctors verified the accuracy of disease diagnosing ability and the efficacy of overall system's plausibility in the real world.
