In future, hospitals are expected to automatically issue remote transcriptions. Many general hospitals are planning to encrypt their medical database to secure personal information as mandated by law. The electronic medical record system, picture archiving communication system, and the clinical data warehouse, amongst others, are the preferred targets for which stronger security is planned. In the near future, medical systems can be assumed to be automated and connected to remote locations, such as rural areas, and islands. Connecting patients who are in remote locations to medical complexes that are usually based in larger cities requires not only automatic processing, but also a certain amount of security in terms of medical data that is of a sensitive and critical nature. Unauthorized access to patients' transcription data could result in the data being modified, with possible lethal results. Hence, personal and sensitive data on telemedicine and medical information systems should be encrypted to protect patients from these risks. Login passwords, personal identification information, and biological information should similarly be protected in a systematic way. This paper proposes the use of electronic acupuncture with a built-in multi-pad, which has the advantage of being able to establish a patient's physical condition, while simultaneously treating the patient with acupuncture. This system implements a sensing pad, amplifier, a small signal drive circuit, and a digital signal processing system, while the use of a built-in fuzzy technique and a control algorithm have been proposed for performing analyses.

표본(標本) 근결(根結) 기가(氣街)와 경기(經氣)의 작용(作用)을 종합적(綜合的)으로 연구(硏究)한 결과(結果) 다음과 같은 결론(結論)을 얻었다. 1. 표본(標本) 근결(根結) 기가(氣街)의 이론은 경맥(經脈)에서 사지(四肢)와 두면(頭面), 구간(軀幹)의 밀접한 관계를 설명한 것으로 십이경맥(十二經脈)의 본부(本部), 족삼음(足三陰) 족삼양(足三陽)의 근부(根部) 및 기가(氣 街)중 경기(脛氣)는 모두 사지(四肢)의 주슬이하에 있고, 표부(標部)와 결부(結部) 및 기가(氣街) (흉기(胸氣), 복기(腹氣) 두기(頭氣))는 모두 두면(頭面)과 구간(軀幹)에 있음을 알 수 있다. 2. 사지말단(四肢末端)에서 두면(頭面), 구간(軀幹), 내장(內臟)에 영향을 주는 것은 십이경맥(十二經脈)의 원기(元氣)의 작용을 통해 알 수 있다. 3. 사지주슬관절이하의 수혈은 특히 원부주치(遠部主治)를 갖고 있는데 육음경맥(六陰經脈)의 본장병(本臟病)에는 해당 음경맥(陰經脈)의 원혈(原穴)(유혈(兪穴)), 배유차(背兪次), 흉모혈(胸募穴)을 사용할 수 있으며 륙양경맥(六陽經脈)의 본장병(本臟病)에는 해당 양경맥(陽經脈)의 육부하합혈(六腑下合穴), 배유혈(背兪穴), 흉모혈(胸募穴)을 사용할 수 있다. 4. 표본(標本) 근결(根結) 기가(氣街)의 이론에서 사지(四肢) 주슬관절이하의 본부(本部)와 근부(根部)의 혈위(穴位)는 그 혈위(穴位)가 있는 부위의 질병(疾病)도 치료할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 두,(頭) 면(面), 흉,(胸) 배부(背部)의 질환도 치료할 수 있는데 경맥(經脈)과 장부(臟腑)가 밀접한 관련이 되고 경기(經氣)가 상하(上下), 내외(內外)로 상응하고 있어서 사지(四肢)의 주슬관절 이하(본부(本部), 근부(根部))의 혈(穴)을 취혈(取穴), 자침(刺鍼)하여 원위부(遠位部)(표부(標部), 결부(結部))에 발생한 질병을 치료한다. 이는 침구임상(鍼灸臨床)에서 응용되고 있는 원격취혈(遠隔取穴)과 국소취혈(局所取穴)의 중요한 이론적 근거가 된다.

We have characterized the aftereffects of impulse activities on the transmission of afferent sensory to the primary somatosensory (SI) cortex of the anesthetized rats (n=22). Following conditioning stimulation (CS, 10 sec, either 5 Hz or 200 Hz) to the receptive field (RF), quantitative determination of the changes of afferent sensory transmission was done by generating post-stimulus time histogram of unit response to the testing stimulation (TS, at 0.5 Hz) to the RF center (RFC) for 60 min. In one group of experiments, CS was delivered to the RF center (RFC). In another group of experiments, CSs were simultaneously given to both RFC and RF outside (RFO, either forepaw or hindpaw). CS of 5 Hz to RFC exerted irreversible facilitation of sensory transmissions evoked by TS. Simultaneous CSs of 5 Hz to RFC and hindpaw RFO exerted reversible suppression of afferent transmission. However, CSs of 5 Hz to RFC and forepaw RFO did not significantly altered afferent sensory transmission to SI cortex neurons. CS of 200 Hz to RFC exerted irreversible suppression of sensory transmissions up to 60 min of experimental period. Simultaneous CSs of 200 Hz to RFC and RFO did not significantly altered afferent sensory transmission to SI cortex neurons. The profiles of CS-induced modulation of afferent sensory transmission were significantly different between two CS conditions. Thus, this study suggests that activity-dependent modulation of afferent transmission from a RF center to the SI cortex may be significantly altered when remote body part was simultaneously activated.
