Objectives: The purpose was to take a closer look at the fundamental principles of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and to investigate its clinical applications for Korean medical fields. Results: IPL is a type of light treatment that is employed by radiating the short-pulse wave, which is transformed from high-intensity light. It may be used to stimulate skin along meridian channels in clinical fields of Korean medicine like acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, Guasha therapy, and other related traditional techniques. So, it may be feasible to treat not only lentigines, freckles, facial dermatitis, and acne, but also other applications. In addition, it could be recommended for use with herb remedies or herb facial mask packs. Conclusions: IPL may be a plausible method in phototherapy of Korean medicine.

Mycosis fungoides is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Patients with early stage disease usually respond well to conventional therapies, with a relatively favorable prognosis. However, a few patients are refractory to treatment and need alternative strategies, even at the patch and plaque stages. We report the case of a middle-aged woman with long-standing and refractory mycosis fungoides that responded to combination therapy with the 308-nm excimer laser and oral alitretinoin.

Purpose: This study was performed to identify and investigate the therapeutic effects of low-level laser (LLL) combined with a light-emitting diode (LED) on post-operative wound healing and functional recovery after hand orthopedic surgery. Methods: The study subjects were twenty patients who had passed the acute inflammatory phase after hand orthopedic surgery and were assigned equally to an experimental or a control group. Phototherapy was administered three times weekly for two weeks. Changes in wound length, edema, pain, and hand function were measured. Results: Significant differences in wound length, edema, pain, and hand function were observed between the experimental and control groups (p<0.05). However, no significant intergroup difference was observed (p>0.05). Nonetheless, a comparison of results showed changes in the experiment group over the two-week study period were significantly greater than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings show that combined LLL plus LED phototherapy positively influences post-operative hand rehabilitation.

Introduction Jaundice is one of the most common conditions found in neonatal period. Phototherapy is one of the main treatments for neonatal jaundice. However, several adverse effects of the phototherapy have been reported, including DNA damage recently. Therefore, a variety of treatments have been conducted to shorten the duration of phototherapy. Meanwhile, it has been hardly tried to prevent neonatal jaundice, but diverse approaches have been tried in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for many years. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the studies for the treatments to prevent neonatal jaundice based on TCM. Materials and Methods Various literatures have been searched via CNKI, and PubMed using the terms "neonatal jaundice" (新生儿黄疸, 胎黃, 胎疸) in category of 'Traditional Chinese Medicine', 'Traditional Chinese Medicinal Herbs' and 'Combination of Traditional Chinese Medicine With Western Medicine'. The search range included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials (CCTs), case reports, reviews and animal experiments published from 2013 to 2015. Results A total of 104 studies were found. 93 articles were excluded by reviewing the titles and abstracts. Out of the remaining 11 studies, 9 articles were RCTs, 2 articles were CCTs. The treatment used in neonatal babies in the studies were, using herbal remedies (meditation 5, bath 3 and retention enema 1) and the acupressure. All treatments were initiated within the first 24-48 hours after their birth. Then, there was a study that the subjects taken the herbal medicine were women during pregnancy. The outcome assessments used were the serum total bilirubin (TB), transcutaneous bilirubin measurement (TCB), the incidence of the hyperbilirubinemia, the duration time of the jaundice. Especially, TB, TCB and the incidence of the hyperbilirubinemia have decreased significantly more than that of the control group in the most of the results. No severe adverse events were reported in all articles reviewed. Conclusions Conventional treatment such as, herbal medicine in TCM, seems to be the effective way to prevent neonatal jaundice or hyperbilirubinemia. Therefore, the conventional treatment may be favorable choice for preventive treatment for neonatal jaundice.

목 적 : 신생아 황달은 신생아기에 가장 흔한 질환으로 핵황달 및 사망까지의 심각한 후유증을 유발할 수 있기 때문에 신속하고 정확한 빌리루빈 농도의 측정과 치료가 중요하다. 따라서 신생아 황달의 진단에서 빌리루빈 측정법 중 경피적 빌리루빈 측정기의 개발로 신생아 황달의 선별법으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 광선치료 동안에 경피적 빌리루빈 측정기의 유용성이 연구되지 않아 이에 저자들은 광선치료 동안에 측정하는 신체의 부위별 TcB와 PB의 상관관계를 조사해서 경피적 빌리루빈 측정기의 유용성을 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 2005년 6월부터 8월까지 제일병원 신생아실에서 광선치료를 받는 황달의 임상적 위험성(미숙아, Rh및 ABO 부적합증, 간손상 등 다른 합병증)이 없는 신생아 90명을 대상으로 경피적 빌리루빈 측정기인 JM-103을 사용하여 광선치료 시작전 이마와 흉골 중앙부에 opaque patch을 붙이고 광선치료 동안에 opaque patch 부위와 바로 인접한 부위에서 TcB를 측정하였다. TcB 측정시 각각 3회씩 측정하여 평균치를 TcB로 하였으며, 경피적 빌리루빈 측정기로 측정한 시각으로부터 30분 이내에 발뒤꿈치를 천자하여 PB를 측정하여 측정 부위간 TcB와 PB의 상관관계를 비교 관찰하였다. 결 과 : 대상에 포함된 신생아는 황달의 임상적 위험성(미숙아, Rh 및 ABO 부적합증, 간손상 등 다른 합병증)이 없는 신생아를 대상으로 하였고 신생아의 평균 재태주령은 $38.6{\pm}1.3$주였고 평균 출생 체중은 $3,207.0{\pm}472.1g$이었고 광선치료 시작 시기는 평균 $4.9{\pm}0.9$일이고 평균 광선치료 기간은 $1.3{\pm}0.6$일이었다. 대상 신생아의 광선치료 시작전 PB와 patch 붙인 흉골 부위의 TcB, patch 붙인 이마 부위의 TcB, 흉골 부위의 TcB, 이마 부위의 TcB 결과는 각 부위간에 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 광선치료 동안에 각 측정부위별(TcB-UF, TcB-UC, TcB-PF, TcB-PC)와 PB는 의미있는 상관관계를 나타내었고 opaque patch를 붙인 부위가 인접한 부위보다 PB와 의미 있는 상관관계를 나타내었으며 TcB-PC가 TcB-PF보다 더욱 더 PB와 의미 있는 상관관계를 나타내었으며 일치도가 높았다. 결 론 : 본 연구의 결과로 경피적 빌리루빈 측정기는 신생아 황달의 선별검사 방법뿐 아니라 광선치료 동안에도 추적검사 측정법으로 사용하기에 적절하다고 생각되며 사용하는 기관에서 자기고유의 회귀직선을 작성하여 사용한다면, 신생아의 몸에 침해를 가하지 않고 편리하고 신속하게 신생아 과빌리루빈혈증 진단과 추적검사에 유용하게 사용될 수 있으리라 생각된다.

Purpose: This study compared the pain and skin reactions of neonates according to the method of removing the adhesive eyepatch used for phototherapy. Methods: The subjects included 20 neonates admitted at C University Hospital. In group 1 (n=10), DuoDERM dressing was attached under the adhesive eyepatch, which was removed with water, while in group 2 (n=10), the eyepatch was attached on the skin and removed with oil. Heart rate, oxygen saturation, the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS), crying time were measured. Data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: No interaction was found between group and timing for heart rate and oxygen saturation. In group 1, the NIPS score was higher and the crying time was longer than in group 2. No difference was observed in the erythema score between the groups. Conclusion: Removing the adhesive eyepatch using oil can be used as a nursing intervention to reduce pain and improve comfort in neonates.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to compare the principles between moxibustion and the 'Intense pulsed light (IPL)' and to investigate the clinical application of the photo-moxa for the Korean medicine fields. Methods : The characteristics of moxibustion, IPL, parabolic reflector moxa and the dermatology surgical use of moxibustion were reviewed in the literature. Results : IPL is one type of light treatments that is employed by radiating the short-pulse wave, which is transformed from the light of high intensity. There has been used parabolic reflector in Asia for more than 2,000 years, and this hand-held device used for moxibustion in traditional medicine. Moxibustion is one of the treatment tools in Korean medicine using the heat energy. The fluence or energy density of IPL in clinical circumstances is similar to parabolic reflector moxa of moxibustion. IPL and parabolic reflector moxa shared same treatment principle employing the heat energy. Therefore IPL could apply for many indications in Korean medicine as a moxibustion tool and acupuncture. Conclusions: IPL may be plausible to be a fascinate method in phototherapy of Korean medicine.
