The Meridian and Collateral Diagram is one of the most important 圖像s of Traditional Korean Medicine. A 圖像 is a picture made on a two-dimensional surface using lines and colors to portray an object or an image. Meridian and Collateral diagram is a 圖像 of the human body with indications of acupoints and meridian passageways and have different names such as 經穴圖, 輸穴圖, 鍼灸圖, 明堂圖, 銅人圖, in accordance with its classification. The documental basis of the Meridian and Collateral Diagram is the Internal Classic and the very first Meridian and Collateral Diagram confirmed through textual evidence can be found in 葛洪's "抱朴子 雜應". The Korean 동인도 in existence today, called '銅人明堂之圖', exists in two versions; a hand-copied version and a wooden engraving block version. It displays all the locations of the acupoints located on the anterior side of the human body, labels the names of the acupoints, and specifically distinguishes 起始穴 and 終止穴 of the eight meridian vessels.

In Oriental medicine, the status of a tongue is the important indicator to diagnose one's health like physiological and clinicopathological changes of inner parts of the body. The method of tongue diagnosis is not only convenient but also non-invasive and widely used in Oriental medicine. However, tongue diagnosis is affected by examination circumstances a lot like a light source, patient's posture and doctor's condition. To develop an automatic tongue diagnosis system for an objective and standardized diagnosis, segmenting a tongue is inevitable but difficult since the colors of a tongue, lips and skin in a mouth are similar. The proposed method includes preprocessing, graph-based over-segmentation, detecting positions with a local minimum over shading, detecting edge with color difference and estimating edge geometry from the probable structure of a tongue, where preprocessing performs down-sampling to reduce computation time, histogram equalization and edge enhancement. A tongue was segmented from a face image with a tongue from a digital tongue diagnosis system by the proposed method. According to three oriental medical doctors' evaluation, it produced the segmented region to include effective information and exclude a non-tongue region. It can be used to make an objective and standardized diagnosis.

This study was to evaluate the effects of oral administration of Processed Sulphur on Hepatotoxicity. Processed Sulphur was administered orally to rats for 28 days. We measured the body and liver weight index, heamtological and biomedical parameters. We also observed the histopathological changes of liver in rats. No significant differences in body weight, liver weight index, heamtological and biomedical parameters and histopathological changes of hepatocyte between control and Processed Sulphur fed group were found. Our data indicate that hepatotoxicity was not caused by oral medication of Processed Sulphur up to 60mg/200g/day for 28 days in rats. Therefore, Processed Sulphur appears to be safe and non-toxic in these studies and a no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) in rats is established at 60mg/200g/day. The data could provide satisfactory preclinical evidence of safety to launch clinical trial on standardized formulation of mineral extracts.

Recently, Townhouse has emerged as a blue ocean of real estate market in Korea. In designing town houses, which are luxurious suburban houses centered around the capital area, the construction companies are using 'designer marketing' in which they hire interior designers and architects and express various styles of design in the interior space of the town houses. Therefore, this study examined the unit-family cases of Korean townhouses and analyzed the expression characteristics of design in the interior space of the town houses built after 2000 in terms of their spatial, morphological, material, and color aspect. "The extensibility of space" and "variableness of space" seem to have the same meaning, but they turned out to be not related to each other due to the particularity of houses. "The extensibility of space" turned out to show its characteristics via "the use of transparent materials." "Minimal form" utilizes the unified "achromatic and simple colors" to emphasize the simplicity and in some cases, highlights the use of original colors. The interior space of the townhouses expresses the traditional or heterosexual oriental image through "the use of natural materials," and they point out the "oriental form" through the controlled beauty expressed by using oriental components and "achromatic and simple colors."

심혈관계 질환의 발병 위험요인 분석이 가능한 맥진기는 한방 의료기기에서 대표적인 연구 분야 가운데 하나이다. 그러나 기존의 대부분의 센서 기반의 맥진기는 측정시의 맥박 박동처와 센서부의 접촉상태에 따른 편위, 검출된 파형의 부정확성 및 파형분석의 어려움 등에 있어서 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 맥동에 의해서 유발되는 모세관 시험액의 상태 변화를 촬영한 맥동 영상을 분석하여 환자의 맥파의 측정이 가능한 맥진기를 제안한다. 제안한 맥진기의 성능 평가를 위해서는 추출된 맥파로부터 맥파 분석에 필수적인 5가지 특징점에 대한 추출률을 측정한 결과 성공적인 결과를 보였다.

본 논문에서 적외선(IR; Infrared), 자외선(UV; Ultraviolet), 가시광선(VR; Visible ray)의 영역에서 촬영한 설진 영상으로부터 가장 효과적인 설태 인식을 위한 최적 혀 영상 분석 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 설진에서 혀 영상 촬영을 위한 최적 파장 범위와 해당 파장에서 설태 분석에 최적의 컬러 영상을 선정한다. 최적 영상 선정을 위해서는 각 파장별로 촬영한 혀 영상을 LAB, HSV, YcBcR, RGB 컬러모델로 변환하고, 변환된 영상들로부터 설태와 비설태 영역의 히스토그램(Histogram)을 분석에 의해서 영역-분별력을 측정한다. 실험 결과 설진에서 설태 인식을 위한 최적 혀 영상은 자외선 영역에서의 RGB 컬러모델로 나타났다.

In this study, New Orientalism represened in modern fashion is defined a new idea that harmonized with factors of eclecticism, traditionalism, naturalism, and futurism and these characteristics are examined. First, as these features, it is the phenomenon of eclecticism presented beyond regions and sex. Second, it is the phenomenon of traditionalism newly expressed traditional images in a modern sense by using and changing of a oriental dress image of the of the past. Third, it is the phenomenon of naturalism revealed an unalloyed recurrent instinct about nature and a desire for yearning. Fourth, it is the phenomenon of futurism which is come out the factor of oriental images whithin a minimal and cyber environment. This paper might be the foundation for Korean Orientalism which could be not a just pastiche but a cultural commodity and s main fashion current with a cultural identity especially in the year of 2000, "New Arts Year", declared by Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Relationship between medicine and iching is what has been followed to be inherited from the period of generation in iching. This writing examined the Thought of the Relation between Medicine and I- ching in Donguibogam. Donguibogam implies the thought that the principles in medicine and iching are same, and is the thought that is broadly spread in Donguibogam. Donguibogam is very rich in yi-yi-study(醫易學)-based contents, which are involved in research subjects of the relation between medicine and iching such as the theory of Taiji(太極) ba gua(八卦), the thought of human and nature, the thought of Yin and Yang, and sign system of gua(卦), and the theory of Image and Number.

The zygoma is protruded on both sides of the midface and plays an important part in determining the impression of face. There are much different esthetic consideration of zygomatic prominence between the oriental and western. Because slight prominent zygoma is thought to be esthetic in the western, there has been done many augmentation therapy. But, in the oriental, prominent zygoma, especially in the female, is thought to be aggresive and manlike image, there has been done many zygoma reduction therapy. There are two methods to reduce the prominent zygoma, one is shaving method and the other is zygoma repositioning with ostectomy. The approach to zygoma and zygomatic arch without surgical morbidity is very difficult, so this problem has been difficult subject to oral & maxillofacial surgeon in a long period. We report the treatment case of facial asymmetry with the unilateral zygoma reduction & genioplasty using only intraoral approach with the retrospective study.

Objectives : This study was performed to find the desirable remaining time of needle in the acupuncture treatment. Methods : The 21 volunteers were given acupuncture at LU9 vertically and needles were remained for 2 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, respectively. The thermographic change induced by acupuncture was measured with Digital Infrared Thermographic Image at the following acupoints: LU11, LU10, LU9, LU8, LU5, LU1, and PC7. The statistical significance of thermographic change was evaluated using paired t-test and post hoc Wilcoxon test. Results : The most significant changes after acupuncture were produced when needles were remained for 10 min or 15 min. LU11, LU5, LU1, and PC7 were the point at which all of the remaining time produced significant change commonly. At LU11, the biggest change was produced when needle was remained for 15 min, while at LU5, LU1, and PC7, the biggest change was produced when needle was remained for 30 min, and the smallest change was produced when needle was remained for 10 min at all of acupoints of LU11, LU5, LU1, and PC7. The unbalance between left side and right was decreased the most largely in 15 min group. Conclusions : The results of this study suggest that the desirable remaining time of acupuncture needle might be 15 min.
