Objectives : ShangHanLun is a clinical guideline, and its core is in the part of Six-meridian Diseases. In recent philological sutdies, independent textual analysis of Shanghanlun is essential to define the scope of research. Methods : By the textual study, I defined the Shanghanlun clinic model. And I researched about medical range of Shanghanlun, and relations between Shanghanlun and JinGuiYaoLue, and between Shanghanlun and Huangdineijing. Results : In six topic sentences, the word '-之爲' means 'a process'. In provisions following topic sentences, the word '者' means 'a person'. So Shanghanlun is describing processing factors of Six-meridian Diseases and related human changes with clinical therapy. In the philological studies, meaning of '傷寒' was possibly just the 3rd provision of the greater yang disease part. Practically Shanghanlun's study range is over the concept of Cold damage today. Additionally Jinguiyaolue deals diseases, but Shanghanlun deals human. Gangpyeong-Shanghanlun's phrases can be separated into five part, and oldest part is independent of Huangdineijing. Conclusions : So we need to set a new and independent clinic model of Shanghanlun to verify it. The Shanghanlun's clinic model has a 3 steps. 1st step is to find 6 type defined symptoms, which act as processing factors of Six-meridian Diseases. 2nd step is to confirm a human changes after a Disease appeared. 3rd step is to treat a patient as a provision suggests. Philologically Shanghanlun's clinic range is not limited by the word '傷寒'. And many concepts in Shanghanlun should be independent of Huangdineijing.

A theory of the school which attach great importance to moxibustion therapy was more developed from 'Ge Hong(葛洪)', 'Wang Tao(王燾)' up to "BianQueXinShu(扁鵲心書)" of 'Dou Cai(竇材)' in Song Dynasty. The first volume of "BianQueXinShu" was described about the principles of health preserving method, diagnosis, treatment related with meridian system, support Yang theory, moxibustion therapy over the 10 chapters and in the continued 3 chapters, explained the symptoms and related moxibustion therapies. The summary is as follows. The Yang energy is the essence of the human body and it is minutely explained in "Hwangdineijing(黃帝內經)". However, the younger scholars after 'Zhang Zhongjing(張仲景)' held different views with "Hwangdineijing" so they didn't control serious diseases. Supporting the Yang energy, it will be possible to human body in good health and long life and perennial youth and longevity. To do like this, the first important thing is a moxibustion, the second is a Taoist hermit medication(丹藥) and the third is well usage of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata. According to the sequence of Yang energy deficiency, the stages of diseases are classified as Ordinary Gi(平氣), Latter deficient state(微虛), The more deficient state(甚虛), Exhausting state(將脫), Exhausted state(已脫) and in the consideration of each stage, it is used gradually with warm-natured berbs, warm-acrid herbs, warm-heated herbs and moxibustion therapy. If it comes to the stage of Exhausted state, the Yang energy is too weak to treat a disease. Therefore it is easy to harm human body with usage the treatment of the Purgationist school theory or the Cold and cool medical school theory, so it is needed a great attention to use these therapies. To summarized the keynote of 'Du Jae''s moxibustion therapy, the one is a minority of selection of points(1$^{\sim}$2 acupuncture points), the second is a majority of moxibustion units(50$^{\sim}$500 units), and the other is a focused selection of points on spleen and kidney(especially Gwanwon, CC4). And in this book, it was explained concretely about the size of moxibustion, according to the experiment with mentioned size, the burning time of moxibustion was almost 4 min 40 sec, so the big size moxibustion was one of the characteristic of moxibustion therapy revealed in this book. Also it was used 'Suseongsan(睡聖散)' - a kind of analgesic herb complexes - to reduce a pain during the usage of moxibustion therapy in this book. To develop the moxibustion theory, it is more investigated in the future that there wasn't significant relation between Gwanwon(CC4) and spleen and kidney meridian in theory, compared to many used Gwanwon(CC4) in the prescription, where as mentioned the importance of spleen and kidney in treatment, that considering the burning time(1 unit - 4 min 40 sec, 12 units an hour, maximum 288 units a day) there were no guidances about meals, sleeping, stool and urine, and that there was no concrete study about the toxicity of 'Suseongsan' as analgesic moxibustion therapy.

Objective : To study the effects and merits of the Yanzhen Therapy(眼針療法), Method : We researched through studying 28 kinds of literature. Result : 1. The Division of Eye Region(眼區分劃), the Position of Yanxue(眼穴定位) and the mutual connection with Internal Organ(臟腑) during the Yanzhen Therapy(眼鍼療法) were made according to Huata's Thesis, and were made by combining Neijing(內經) Theory about eyes, Yinyang and Five Elements(陰陽五行) Theory, Meridian & Zang-Xiang Theory(經絡臟象學說), the Five Circles & Eight Regions(五輪八廓學說) Theory, and the Zhouyi Eight Diagrams(周易八卦) Theory. 2. The assignment between the Internal Organ and Eye-Division(眼區分劃) was formed on the basis of the Five-Circles and Eight-Regions Theory in Ophthalmology(眼科五輪八廓學說) of Zhengzhizhunsheng(證治準繩). 3. The Assignment(排列) & Position(方位) of the Congenital Eight Diagram(先天八卦) and the Acquired Eight Diagram(後天八卦) have influenced the Division of Eight Eye Region(眼鍼八區) and the Position of Yanxue(眼穴定位) significantly. 4. It showed no difference with the Map of Eye Position of Eight-Division(八廓眼位圖) like as Shenshiyaohan(審視瑤函), Yinhaizhinan(銀海指南) and Sanzijing of Ophthalmology(眼科三字經). Conclusion : While combining organically with other methods of acupuncture, the Yanzhen Therapy(眼鍼療法) may have better clinical effectiveness, and is also expect to expand the clinical indication.

Gastric cancer is common cancer generating about 20% incidence in Korea. But Oriental medical doctor (OMD) often can't measure therapy on gastric cancer positively because that the prognosis on it is not good. It is impossible the results on all of diseases not only gastric cancer always to have to be good. It is required to find out the causes of diseases and therapy method to conquest the diseases for the medical therapy. But because the results on medical therapy are not always good, it is necessary for the doctor who want to treat the diseases like gastric cancer having the prognosis to be death to protect himself, like as the legal system, a medical policy. And consequently, this protecting legal system lead the medical therapy principle or method on some special diseases to therapy completion on it. As a results of policy, medical therapy have to be developed. It is studied the literature referencing gastric cancer, experimental articles to insist the effects of Oriental medicine planet to gastric cancer and the clinical cases on gastric cancer to be treated as Oriental medicine therapy to have effects. Recently, there have been many other development in oriental medical therapy. This development can be grouped as two type. One type is clinical part and the other is experimental research part. Specially the experimental research and clinical research on gastric cancer in oriental medical therapy have been developed. So the present day is the time to make medical policy on liver cancer for OMD to measure oriental medical therapy and develop oriental medical theory. As a above results, we propose that the name of gastric cancer have to use in Korean medicine security clinical name (한방의료보험상병명) to make oriental medical policy.

The conventional model did not take momentum conservation into consideration when the electron absorbs and emits the photons. II-ray provides momentum conservations on any directions of the entering photons, and also the electrons have radial momentum conservations and fully elastic bouncing between two atoms, in the new atom model. Conventional atom model must be criticized on the following four points. (1) Natural motions between positive and negative entities are not circular motions but linear going and returning ones, fur examples sexual motion, tidal motion, day and night etc. Because the radius of hydrogen atom's electron orbit is the order of 10$^{-11}$ m and the radia of the nucleons in the nucleus are the order of 10$^{-l4}$m and then the converging $\pi$-gamma rays to the nucleus have so great circular momentum, the electron can not have a circular motion. We can say without doubt that any elementary mass particle can have only linear motion, because of the $\pi$-rays' hindrances, near the nucleus. (2) Potential energy generation was neglected when electron changes its orbit from outer one to inner one. The h v is the kinetic energy of the photo-electron. The total energy difference between orbits comprises kinetic and potential energies. (3) The structure of the space must be taken into consideration because the properties of the electron do not change during the transition from outer orbit to inner one even though it produces photon. (4) Total energy conservation law applies to the energy flow between mind and matter because we daily experiences a interconnection between mind and body. Any magnet absorbs n-rays to S pole and sends out the $\pi$-rays from N pole. Proton are constructed with the closed n-rays quantum-mechanically. The crystallizing n-bonding makes two $\pi$-far infrared rays of one wave length between two protons if two $\pi$-rays are supplied to each proton. It is easily done for a $\pi$-ray to be absorbed to a proton if there is a parallel magnetic flow to the blood flow because a $\pi$-ray advances axially under a magnetic field and a proton looks like a sphere. A axially advancing disk-like $\pi$-ray can meet more easily the coming spheres than from the other directions. The blood crystals stimulate the autonomous nerves on the blood vessels during the flow by their mechanical sliding collisions. SM n-ray meridian therapy and SMACN $\pi$-ray meridian therapy show the stimulation of blood flow and also combinational experiment between SM $\pi$-ray meridian therapy and n-ray psycho-physics acupuncture shows more clearly that magnet is forcing to make $\pi$-rays absorbed to the nucleons.s.ons.

'Needle-embedding therapy', also called 'Acupoint Embedding Therapy' is the newly induced therapy which uses specialized tools. Embedded alien substance stimulates the acupoint and helps to keep the stimulation up. Needle-embedding therapy is mainly used for chronic diseases and deficiency syndromes, and also for other diseases including acute pain and excessive syndromes. Recently, clinical doctors are studying this therapy vigorously on the foundation of 'theory of meridian pathway' and applying for facial and body esthetics such as face-lift, correction skin troubles, depilation and so on. In spite of all these effect, theories for 'Needle-embedding Therapy' doesn't seem clearly arranged yet. So we, here, present the philological basis of 'Needle-embedding Therapy' from referring to old records and newly publicated papers and consider the new trend of this therapy in Korean and China.
