Objective: This study was designed to investigate the difference of treatment effect between Oriental Medicine theraphy and Oriental and Western Medicine combination theraphy on low back pain patients. Methods: We divided 40 low back pain patients into 2 groups. The Group I was treated with Oriental Medicine theraphy and the Group II was treated with Oriental and Western Medicine combination theraphy. We evaluated visual analogue scale(VAS) score before and after 3, 5, 7 days of each treatment. Results: The VAS score of Group I and Group II after 3, 5, 7 days of each treatment was significantly lower than before treatment. But there was no significant difference between two groups after 3, 5, 7 days of each treatment. Conclusions: In this study, there was no significant difference between the two groups after 3, 5, 7 days of each treatment on low back pain patients. Further studies are needed for the comparison of Oriental Medicine theraphy and Oriental and Western Medicine combination theraphy.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of treatment effect between Oriental Medical Treatment and Oriental-Western Combination Treatment on Herniated Lumbar Disc. Methods : From 1st November, 2008 to 31th August, 2009, 18 Herniated Lumbar Disc patients who admitted the Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion, college of Oriental medicine, Dae-gu Hanny University were divided into two groups. Group A was treated with oriental medical theraphy (Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Herb, Cupping, Physical theraphy) and Group B with both oriental medical theraphy and western medical theraphy(Acupuncture, Moxibustion, Herb, Cupping, Physical theraphy, Intramuscular injection of Dexamethasone and Dicknol 2ml). We evaluated the treatment effect of each group with the Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and Pain Rating Scale(PRS), deviding two period(From first day to fourth day after Admission and From first day to ninth day after Admission). Results : Improvement Degree of Group A and Group B was significantly improvement (p<0.05) according to the VAS & PRS. Group B showed better performance compared with Group A. Conclusions : These results proved that combination treatment of oriental and western medicine was more effective than just oriental medical treatment of Herniated Lumbar Disc. And the difference between the two groups were significant according to PRS.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia which results from one or both of decreased insulin secretion and increased insulin resistance. Chronic hyperglycemia causes damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. The major goal in treating diabetes mellitus is controlling elevated blood sugars without causing abnormally low levels of blood sugar. A 67-year-old woman was admitted with hyperglycemia, thirst, Lt. leg numbness and both leg weakness. The patient was diagnosed as So-gal(消渴) due to dry ness-heat based on yin-deficiency(陰虛燥熱) through oriental medicine and NIDDM through western medicine. The patient was treated with oriental and western medicines. Specifically herbal medicine(Gamijihwangtang), acupuncture, moxa theraphy were used as well as oral medications. Clinical symptoms improved and hyperglycemia dramatically stablized.

Background: We recently reported that Salvia plebeia R. Br. extracts suppress leukotriene production and effectively inhibit the airway inflammatory response by modulating inflammatory chemokine and cytokine expression. Here, we investigated the synergistic airway anti-inflammation effect of Salvia plebeia and Panax ginseng (Korean red ginseng, KRG) that has been used to treat various immune diseases such as asthma. Methods and Results: To evaluate the synergistic airway anti-inflammatory effect of Salvia plebeia and KRG, we measured the inhibitory effect of monotheraphy with either or co-theraphy with both on leukotriene and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Using coal a combustion, fly ash, and diesel exhaust particle (CFD)-induced respiratory disease mouse model, we found that co-theraphy synergistically suppressed airway inflammatory signs such as alveolar wall thickness and collagen fibers deposition, and decreased the number of total cell, $CD11b^+Gr-1^+$ cells, and inflammatory cytokines (IL17A, TNF, MIP-2 and CXCL-1) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. Conclusions: We confirmed respiratory protection as a therapeutic effect of the Salbia plebeia-KRG 3 : 1 complex (KGC-03-PS) via anti-tracheal muscle contraction and expectorant animal studies using a CFD-induced respiratory disease mouse model.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether physical ability is improved by body stabilization, develop training methods to improve physical fitness factors suitable for body conditions, and provide future management and exercise materials to improve Taekwondo athletes' performance, after conducting the Body stabilization exercise (BSE) program on 22 elementary school Taekwondo athletes for 10 weeks to strengthen core muscles and evaluating Visual response speed test (VRST), Functional movement screen (FMS), Y-Balance test (YBT) and Vital capacity (VC). Methods : In order to examine the impact of the BSE program on Taekwondo athletes' VRST, FMS, YBT and VC this study conducted individual evaluations on all subjects, including VRST, FMS, YBT and VC before applying the programs, and compared exercise effects before and after the program, before and after exercise by a certain period. Results : After exercising, strength and quickness were improved significantly and reaction time was significantly shortened (p<.001). The total score of FMS was improved from 10.86±1.17 before to 11.68±0.99 after exercising, was statistically significant (p=.014). YBT was significantly improved from 91.11±4.84 before to 95.68±5.15 after exercising (p<.001). VC improved was statistically significant (p<.001). Conclusion : In conclusion, the BSE athletic program is expected to help Taekwondo athletes perform well by preventing and reducing injuries through the improvement of muscular strength, strength, speed, agility, step, kick, balance, flexibility, full body endurance and the combination of technical abilities.

목적: 식도암의 방사선 치료에 대해 최초로 시행한 한국의 PCS의 결과를 토대로 미국, 일본에서 시행한 결과와 비교 분석하여 식도암 환자들의 특징, 진단 및 치료방침의 차이를 파악해 향후 범 국가적으로 활용할 시스템의 구축에 응용하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 국내의 21개 병원의 방사선 종양학과에서 1998-1999년 동안 식도암으로 확진 된 후 방사선 치료를 받은 총 246명을 대상으로 하였다. 이 결과를 미국 59개 병원에서 식도암 환자 414명을 연구한 PCS 결과(Suntharalingam)와 비교 하였다. 또 일본의 76개 병원에서 수술과 방사선치료를 받았거나 수술, 방사선 치료, 항암제치료를 함께 받은 수술 군 환자 220명(Gomi), 수술을 받지 않고 방사선 치료만 시행하였거나 방사선 치료와 항암제치료를 함께 시행한 비 수술 군 환자 385명(Murakami)을 대상으로 시행한 PCS 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 환자들의 평균 연령은 일본의 비 수술 군이 가장 높았다(71세). 한국과 일본은 남성의 발생 빈도가 월등히 높았지만(9:1) 미국은 여성의 발생률이 23.1%였다. 한국과 일본은 편평상피세포암이 압도적으로 많았지만(한국 96.3%, 일본 98%) 미국은 선암이 더 많은 양상을 보였다(49.6%). 병기결정을 위한 검사는 식도 내시경, 흉부 컴퓨터 단층촬영, 식도조영술을 가장 많이 사용하였고 미국과 일본은 복부 컴퓨터단층촬영을 복부 초음파보다 더 자주 시행하였다. 치료방침을 분석한 결과 방사선 단독치료의 비율은 한국이 23.2%, 일본이 39%인데 반해 미국은 9.5%에 불과하였다. 수술과 방사선 및 항암치료를 병용한 빈도는 미국(32.8%)과 일본(49.5%)이 한국(11.8%)보다 높았다. 식도암 치료에 있어서 항암제 치료는 미국이 가장 높은 빈도로 사용되어졌고(89%) 동시항암방사선 치료도의 빈도도 미국이 가장 높았다(97%). 항암치료제는 3개국 모두에서 cisplatin과 5-FU를 가장 선호하였다. 방사선 조사량은 한국 55.8 Gy, 미국 50.4 Gy였고 일본은 수술 군(48 Gy)과 비 수술 군(60 Gy)이 현격한 차이를 보였다. 결론: 한국, 미국, 일본에서 시행된 식도암 환자의 PCS 결과를 분석하여 환자 및 종양의 특징, 진단 및 치료 방침에 다소간의 상이점을 발견하였다. 그러나 방사선 조사량과 조사야 수, 방사선치료 에너지의 종류 등 방사선 기술적인 부분은 3개국 모두에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다.
