Objectives : CHUNA therapy that removes compression of dislocated vertebral bones has positive effect, but sometimes improper CHUNA manual therapy may give rise to negative effect. The aim of this study is to make sure that cervical CHUNA manual therapy give positive effect or negative effect to the blood flow velocity of vertebral artery(VA) and basilar artery(BA) by Trancranial Doppler sonography(TCD). Methods : We performed TCD study on 20patients(male 5, female 15, mean ages 38.5 years) with diagnosis like cervical movement related disorder, headache or dizziness. After we measured mean blood flow velocity(Vm) of VA and BA before cervical CHUNA therapy(Pre-CCT) and after cervical CHUNA therapy(Post-CCT), statistically evaluated the results. Results: The patients received cervical CHUNA therapy for TA sequel, HIVD of cervical spine, headache, dizziness, neck stiffness etc. VA Vm was
$31.9{\pm}8.0cm/sec$ before CHUNA therapy, but significantly increased$35.0{\pm}8.7cm/sec$ after CHUNA therapy (p < 0.05). But, there was no significant variation of BA Vm between$41.8{\pm}7.5cm/sec$ Pre-CCT and$41.2{\pm}8.5cm/sec$ Post-CCT(p>0.05). Though VA Vm slightly increased after CHUNA therapy in normal range group, there was no significant variation between VA Vm Pre-CCT and VA Vm Post~CCT. In VA Vm decrease group, VA Vm significantly increased after CHUNA therapy(p<0.05). But, there was no significant variation of BA Vm between Pre-CCT and Post-CCT in BA Vm normal range group and BA Vm decrease group(p>0.05). Conclusions: These findings suggest that cervical CHUNA manual therapy have positive effect on blood flow velocity of VA and BA. -
The present study retrospectively investigated clinical outcome at patients with low back pain or sciatica during Chuna treatment (flexion-distraction technique). The study population consisted of 29 patients. Discogenic group consisted of 21 patients who were already diagnosed as HNP of lumbar spine with serial MRIs(magnetic resonance imaging) or CTs(computerized tomography). Simple LBP group consisted of 8 patients with low back pain & sciatica who were non-specific disorder on radiologic examination. All patients were treated with flexion-distraction technique, one of Chuna technique, under analysis of Moire Topography. And the evaluation of clinical outcome was done twice during this study by Moire Topography Analytic Point and Low Back Pain Assesment, Visual Analogue Scale. The results were summarized as follows; Total improvement rate of Moire Topography was
$25.8{\pm}17.8%$ , and the rate of Low Back Pain Assesment was$56.5{\pm}23.0%$ , Visual Analogue Scale of post-treatment was$32.6{\pm}22.5$ Between Improvement rate of Moire Topography and improvement rate of Low Back Pain Assesment, significant correlation was proved(Person's coefficient was 0.381, p<0.05). After all, it is certain improvement of Moire Topography represents symptom's improvement. -
To clarify the effect of chuna treatment reached at neck pain, the faculties of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine in Hospital of Oriental Medicine, Kyung Hee Medical Center had carried out chuna treatment for 72 patients who had neither structural defectiveness of cervical spine nor neural injury but simple soft tissue damage among people who visited the hospital with the neck pain since Jun. 11, 1997 to Dec. 31 in the year. The way of study: 32 out of 72 patients were treated by acupuncture treatment going with chuna treatment (calling 'Group A') and the other 40 patients were cured by only acupuncture (calling 'Group B'). The treatment in both Group A and B were performed 6 times totally at intervals of a time for 2 days. To judge the effect of treatment, both method-visual analog scale(VAS) and ,check of ROM-were performed each time. The results of study 1. Each one in Group A itself, according to the number of the treatment in progress, showed the note worthy decrease of pain and improvement of range of motion(ROM) in the cervical(P <0.001). 2. Each one in Group B itself, according to the number of the treatment in progress, showed the note worthy decrease of pain and improvement of range of motion(ROM) in the cervical(P <0.001). 3. In the degree of improvement in pain, the Group A who had been treated by both acupuncture and chuna treatment at the same lime showed some meaningful decrease in pain compared to the Group B with acupuncture treatment alone(P <0.001). 4. In the degree of improvement in ROM, the Group A who were treated by both chuna and acupuncture treatment had meaningful improvement compared to Group B who got the only acupuncture treatment(P <0.001).

Oryeong-San, Pangpungtongseong-San, Rangkyeoksanwha-Tang, Sipeemikwanjoong -Tang and Taeumjoui-Tang are not only examined using the code which are related to overweight in the QRIS but are also investigated the level of Free Radical using the Free Radical Measurement after steeping those 5 prescriptions in water. The results are as follows: 1. We indicated in the study of QRIS that 5 kinds of medicines which used most frequently In the treatment of the obesity appeared to affect the Immune system, spleen, kidneys, pancreas, the fatigue toxicity, TSH, and the metabolic disability but did not influence high on the contents of overweight and those of fatty cell, as well. in addition, there were no significant differences between the prescriptions as regards testosterone and progesterone. 2. In the Free Radical Measurement, Rangkyeoksanwha-Tang evaluated significantly high level of Free Radical, whereas others appear to have the similar level of Free Radical. These findings suggest that the treatment of the obesity affects particular body parts with respect to the control of overweight, although those medicines are not related directly to the areas(such as fatty cell Code), it is possible that they influence on the cure for the obesity. Furthermore, they indicate that with soaking prescription, Free Radical is not produced as much as we expected.

To prove the effect of Yukmijihwngwon(YMJHW) and Taeyoungjeon(TYJ) extract on the Meridian of Human body and Active oxygen experimentally, ORS & Free Radical of extract and precipitate of YMJHW and TYJ was measured. The results were summarized as follows; 1. TYJ extract, as a result of measuring QRIS, had a considerable effect on the function of pituitary gland, the 4th cervical vertebra and the 1 st lumbar vertebra. 2. TYJ precipitate, as a result of measuring QRIS, had a considerable effect on the function of liver, uterus, and vertebra. 3. YMJHW extract, as a result of measuring QRIS, had a considerable effect on the function of lung, adrenalin gland, bladder, prostate gland, ovaria, the 2nd cervical vertebra, the 3rd cervical vertebra, the 5th cervical vertebra, the 6th cervical vertebra, the 2nd lumbar vertebra, the 4th lumbar vertebra and the 5th lumbar vertebra. 4. YMJHW precipitate, as a result of measuring QRIS, had a considerable effect on the function of spleen, lung, kidney, adrenal gland, bladder, ovaria, the 2nd cervical vertebra, the 6th cervical vertebra, the 7th cervical vertebra, the 2nd lumbar vertebra, the 5th lumbar vertebra, sacrum, and knee joint. 5. As a result of measuring Free Radical, the level of TYJ is higher than YMJHW. It is thiut that's because of Duchung and roasted Gamcho. 6. As an order of QRIS levels, YMJHW precipitate is the highest, YMJHW extract is next, TYJ extract and TYJ precipitate. These results suggested that TYJ and YMJHW be usefully applied for suppressing of abnormal Meridian and noxious oxygen, preventing and curing all the disease.

The manipulations are the main therapheutic procedure of Chuna. Manipulation is the essential procedure of Chuna theraphy. On the basis of touch parts and motion changes, each elementary manipulation is divided into Stimulating Manipulations (reflexional manipulations) and Mobilizing Manipulations. Objectives: This study were advanced so as to know Chinese Chuna Manipulations especially on Herniated Nucleus Pulposus. Methods We Investigated Chinese medicine paper about Chinese Chuna Manipulations on Herniated Nucleus Pulposus between 1996 and 1999. Results. Chinese Chuna theraphy, Pressing Manipulations and Thrusting-Wrenching Manipulations are mostly used on Herniated Nucleus Pulposus, and Chinese Chuna theraphy carrys out Traction, Injection. Chinese medicine. Acupuncture side by side. Conclusions: Chinese Chuna theraphy uses not only Mobilizing Manipulations, but also Stimulating Manipulations whereas Korean Chuna theraphy chiefly uses Mobilizing Manipulations.

the aim of this study was to investigate whether osteoporosis can be advanced after cerebral infarction Of not and role of female sex hormone. all animals were classified 4 groups; group of ovariectomy (OVXgroup) group of cerebral infarction( INF group), group of combination ovariectomy and cerebral infarction(OVX + INF group), naturally intact group for control data (NOR group ). cerebral infarction was made by Chen,s method with some modification and ovariectomy was performed by Wayforth,s method. experimental data was collected at 15 days, 1 month, 3 months and 6months after starting observation. serum 17
${{\beta}-estradiol\;(E_2)}$ was determined by radioimmunoassay, for comparision of osteoporosis formation, bone density, serum osteocalcin, Serum total calcium and phosphorus, Serum AST Concentration, Serum ALT Concentration, Creatinine Concentration were also calculated. we have found that cerebral ischemia decreases not only the serum concentration of 17${{\beta}-estradiol\;(E_2)}$ and inhibits but also the physiologically compensatory function of the ovariectomized rats and that the decreased estrogen concentration followed by cerebral infarction have not produced osteoporosis, regretfully. -
통증감소를 위주로 하는 기존의 슬 골관절염 치료는 슬관절의 퇴행을 가속화시킬 수 있기 때문에 한의학적 각종 침구요법 및 물리요법, 약물요법이나 의학적 주사요법 등을 '슬관절에 대한 부하 힘을 감소시킨 상태'에서 시행하는 진료형식을 제안한다. 그리고 이러한 슬관절질환 치료의 추나요법을 채택하여 임상적용이 가능하도록 이를 기계화 도구화하고, 진단과 치료를 동시에 시행할 수 있는 방식이 되도록 연구할 필요가 있다.
