This study was undertaken to clinically inspect the accuracy of DSOM-diagnosis System of Oriental Medicine, which were used for the object diagnosis of oriental medicine in the dept. of oriental OB&GY, oriental medical hospital of Dong-Eui University- about uterus myoma patients. We analyzed the prescription and consequence of diagnosis about 16 patients -who had uterus myoma, were treated more than one month, were improved in myoma size, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia- in the oriental medical hospital of Dong-Eui University from January to December 2004. The calculation consequence of disease mechanism was as follows. The stagnation of Ki(氣滯), liver(肝), heart.(心) was 10 patients 71.4%, some deficiency(虛證), wet syndrome(濕), cold syndrome(寒) was 9 patients 64.3%, blood stasis(血奈) was 8 patients 57.1%. The agreement of consequence about DSOM and diagnosis was 13 patients, 92.9%.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of fumigation treatment, provide a clinical basis for fumigation therapy, and develop treatment protocols through consideration of treatment methods and herbal medicines. Methods: We searched for randomized controlled clinical trials using fumigation treatment on mycotic vaginitis in 8 electronic databases such as EMBASE, Pubmed, and CNKI. The results of the studies were analyzed and the risk of bias was assessed by using Cochrane risk of bias tool. A meta-analysis was performed to reveal the effectiveness of fumigation compared to control treatments. Results: We finally selected 5 studies among 54 articles according to inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. In all selected studies, herbal fumigation was more effective than any control treatment and all the studies were statistically significant. Conclusions: The study provides a basis for applying fumigation treatment to patients with mycotic vaginitis and helps developing a treatment protocol of caring patients of mycotic vaginitis. But the limitation of this study is that the number of studies included is small and quantitative synthesis of all results has not been achieved.

이 연구는 MCF-7 인간 유방암 세포주에 대한 귀출파징탕(歸朮破癥湯) 추출물의 증식억제효과 세포독성효과 세포사 유발효과를 확인하기 위하여 이루어졌다. MCF-7 인간 유방암 세포주는 Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium/F12 (DMEM/F12)에 10% fetal bovine serum(FBS;Gibco) 와 항생제를 가하여 만든 배지를 이용하여 배양하였고, MCPF-7 세포를 96- well plate에 접종한 후 다양한 농도(0~2000g/ml)의 귀출파징탕(歸朮破癥湯)이 든 배지로 처리하고 다양한 시간(48, 96, 192)동안 배양하여 현미경으로 관찰하고 각각 MTS assay kit를 이용하여 세포생존율을 측정하였다. 세포독성은 Sulforhodamine B assay 방법을 이용해 측정하였고 세포사 과정에서 MCF-7세포에서의 caspase 활성화를 측정하기 위해 Western blotting을 수행하여 poly ADP ribose polymerase(PARP)의 절단을 확인하였다. 실험결과 귀출파징탕(歸朮破癥湯) 추출물에 의한 세포성장 및 독성효과는 시간 및 농도에 비례하는 것으로 나타났고 세포고사과정에서 작용하는 caspase의 전 기질인 PARP 절단량이 귀출파징탕(歸朮破癥湯) 처리 농도와 시간에 비례하여 증가하였다. 이것은 caspase-3가 MCF-7 세포의 성장을 억제하는데 중요한 역할을 수행함을 의미한다. 따라서 귀출파징탕(歸朮破癥湯)은 다양한 기전에 의해서 유방암 세포에 대한 억제효과를 가진다는 것을 인식할 수 있다.

Purpose : The pharmacological effects of medicinal remedies traditionally used in Asian countries for improving the blood circulation were examined on isolated rat thoracic aorta strips in organ baths. Methods and results : Each experimental medicine was consecutively extracted under reflux with water. Of three medicinal remedies . Hirudo(HI) having the strongest acute relaxant activity in endothelium-intact arteries, Tabanus(TA), Empoly ohaga(EO) were showing dose-dependent relaxant activity. Long-term relaxant effects were showed in Hirudo(HI) and Empoly ohaga(EO). In endothelium-injury test using carbachol, Hirudo(HI), Tabanus(TA) and Empoly of ohaga(EO) were not damaged to endothelium. Conclusion: As a result of this study, the possibility that a part of medicinal remedy may contribute to the beneficial effects in blood circulation was proposed, but inter-individual variation has been observed. Also, further studies on the vasorelaxant effects of these remedies are still required.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect on both herbal medicine periodic therapy and western medicine for polycystic ovary syndrome subfertility. Methods: We searched 8 electronic databases and search keywords were 'PCOS' and 'periodic therapy' or 'cyclic treatment'. We included randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) using the periodic therapy combined western medicine for PCOS patients. Results: We selected 8 studies. In studies, there were three studies in which the menstrual cycle was divided into 2 periods, one study divided into 3 periods, and four study divided into 4 periods. The meta-analysis of the 7 trials indicated that pregnancy rates integrated clomiphene and periodic therapy were higher than clomiphene alone. Conclusions: The periodic therapy combined western medicine for PCOS subfertility patients seems to improve pregnancy rates from this research. However, this result should be taken cautiously by unclear risk of bias. It would be necessary to fulfill further clinical study with herbal medicine periodic therapy on PCOS in Korean medicine to establish standard evidence of them.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the pulse energy in women with PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) compared with women who have a regular menstrual cycle. Methods: We analyzed the values of pulse energy on 20 patients with PCOS as an experimental group and 40 patients with regular menstrual cycle as a control group. Control group was divided into 20 women with follicular phase and 20 women with luteal phase respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS/Win 18.0, one way ANOVA and Tukey HSD. Results: The results were as follows. 1. The mean pulse energy of the Right Chon was significantly increased compared with those of the Left Kwan and the Right Kwan among PCOS group. 2. There were no statistically significant pulse energy among control groups. Conclusions: The pulse energy of Lung is bigger than that of Spleen and Liver in PCOS patients compared with women who have a regular menstrual cycle.

Purpose: This study is to examine anti-obesity effect and cytotoxicity of the long-term oral administration of Ephedra Sinica(Ma-hwang, ES) Methods: Using diet-induced obesity C57BL/6 mouse model, anti-obesity effect and DNA chip expression and cytotoxicity of the long-term oral administration of this herbal extract were investigated. Results: The herbal extract treated groups were arrested in weight increment only when they were lodged together. Such effects were abolished when they kept individually. ES fed mice behaved very rudely and violently. On the basis of histological studies of liver tissues and also in vitro cytotoxicity tests of the liver and kidney cell lines, no significant toxicity was found by 14 weeks of ES treatments. However, we found significant changes in gene expression profile in ES treated group by micro-array analysis. In case of ES group, up-regulated genes were 113 and down-regulated were 120. Some of lipid metabolism related genes also significantly changed in treatment groups. Conclusion: ES had effects of increasing the basal metabolic rate by stimulating the sympathetic nervous systems.

Purpose: To provide Diagnostic Criteria and Severity Evaluation Criteria of postpartum edema mainly complained by women directly after delivery. Methods: We analyzed Edema Index(ECF/TBW) analyzed by Body Composition Analyzer(InBody720) of 103 women directly after delivery who were delivered in Ob & Gy of Dongguk University Ilsan Hospital. Results: Mean value for Edema Index of 103 participants was 0.3527$\pm$0.0102, Minimum was 0.336, Maximum 0.388. From this Mean value and Edema Index distribution of participants, We suggest that we can diagnose more than 0.35 of Edema Index as Postpartum Edema, more than 0.35 and less than 0.36 as postpartum edema grade 1, more than 0.36 and less than 0.37 as grade 2, more than 0.37 as grade 3. Conclusion: This research is the first step for diagnostic criteria of postpartum edema, we suggest that diagnostic criteria of postpartum edema is more than 0.35 of Edema Index score. But this suggestion must be revaluated by additional research.
