Objectives In order to the review of the Yoon Gil-Young's theory on the "differentiation of syndromes", we studied on the his method and system of classification on the "differentiation of syndromes". Methods We reviewed on "The Clinical Formula Science Traditional Korean Medicine 東醫臨床方劑學", "A study on the Methodology of Traditional Korean Medicine 東醫學의 方法論硏究" "The theory of SaSang Constitution Medicine 四象體質醫學論". From a connected standpoint with the basic theory and clinical medicine, considered on the Yoon Gil-Young's theory of "differentiation of syndromes". Results Yoon Gil-Young's theory of differentiation of syndromes and treatment was widespread so much that he studied on the learning field of Traditional Korean Mediciine and ingenious as well. The main principles of differentiation of syndromes was summarized the three representative syndrome-complexes; BON-HER(original deficiency syndrome), BON-HAN(orginal cold excess syndrome), BON-YEOL(original heat excess syndrome). And also the three representative syndrome-complexes was previously carried out the details of differentiation of syndromes and assigned represent prescription one by one. Conclusions As the results, Yoon Gil-Young insisted the system of differentiation of syndromes closely connecting with Traditional Korean Medical physiology, pathology, diagnosis and prescriptions. And therefore he was a frontier of the field of Traditional Korean Medicine.

Objectives Although the faith that pulse diagnosis via a thread, namely "Xuanxizhenmai", had been applied to some women in royal families, is widely spread in East Asian countries, but it is still controversial that whether this faith is based on historical facts or just originated from some folk tales. So we provided some reasonable clues to interpret that faith. Methods The digitalized Annals of Joseon Dynasty and Twenty Five Books of Chinese History were used for historical example search. Conventional internet search engines are widely used for investigation of other examples and related interpretations. Additionally, a pilot observation with nylon threads and optical vibration detection devices was performed to confirm it's feasibility. Results Although there are a few evidences supporting Xuanxizhenmai's existence in Qing dynasty, no evidence was found to show it's existence in authoritative annals of Korea and China. The pilot observation showed that in optimal environment, some intense arterial pulse could be propagated dozens of centimeter, but it was not applicable to clinical needs. Conclusions Pulse propagation via a thread was proved to be reproducible within limited extents, but pulse diagnosis via a thread, namely Xuanxizhenmai, seem to have never been used for proper clinical purpose.

Objectives: Peer role-play (PRP) has been used in health care training simulations because standardized patient training requires considerable time and expense. This study described the implementation of clinical simulation using PRP and examined the effect. Methods: Final year students from a single college of Korean medicine engaged in PRP as part of clinical skills practice. Education tools from clinical practice guidelines were used to structure the PRP. Communication competency was assessed with the Korean Version of the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (KSE-12). Whether this training helped to achieve graduate outcomes was evaluated on a five-point scale. Results: Fifty-nine students (53.2%) participated in the survey. Among 12 items on the KSE-12, the score for "How certain are you that you are able to successfully listen attentively to the patient?" was the highest. Further, PRP was found to be helpful for self-directed learning, establishment of one's professional identity, and the ability to communicate and manage patients. Three themes ("Benefits of role-play", "The importance of positive feedback", "Limitations and problems of role-play"), 15 categories, and 16 central meanings were derived by categorizing learners' subjective opinions about PRP. Conclusions: Study findings indicate that PRP may contribute to improving communication skills and establishing a professional identity for future Korean medicine doctors. We suggest using PRP in clinical education in colleges of Korean Medicine.

There are strong demands for accurate, fast, and inexpensive devices in the medical diagnostic laboratories, such as biosensors and chemical sensors. Biosensors can provide the reliable and accurate informations on the desired biochemical parameters, which is an essential prerequisite for a patient before going for a treatment. They can be used for continuous measurements of metabolites, blood cations, gases, etc. Of these, electrochemical biosensors play an important role in the improvement of public health, because rapid detection, high sensitivity, small size, and specificity are achievable for clinical diagnostics. In this paper, the clinical applications with electrochemical biosensors are reviewed. An attempt is also made to highlight some of the trends that govern the research and developments of the important biosensors that are associated to clinical diagnosis.
