Objectives : The purpose of this study was clinical observation about sensorineural hearing loss compare with acupucture treatment and assessments of prognotic factors. Methods : This study was clinical observation about sensorineural hearing loss cases. for diagnosing in these cases, pure tone audiometry was used. The treatment, acupuncture was used. Results : Three patients(37.5%) remarkably improved, one patient(12.5%), slightly improved, four patients(50%), no change. Conclusions : These results suggest that the prognosis by age and initial hearing threshold was significant. The treatment on sensorineural hearing loss considered that bone condution improved.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to show the rationale of point-selection on the methods of acupuncture and moxibustion in the Shin section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Methods : First, We summarized the cause of each disease in the Shin section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Then, We explained the rationale of acupuncture point-selection referring to the cause of disease, physiology of the Oriental medicine, exposition of acupuncture point name, character of each acupuncture points, flow of meridian pathways and specific acupuncture points etc. Results and Conclusions : Total 44 acupuncture points were used in the Shin section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Most of acupuncture points were specific acupuncture points. but, some rationale of acupuncture point-selection were explained by the cause of disease, physiology of the Oriental medicine, exposition of acupuncture point name, flow of meridian pathways etc.

Objectives : Bower Actinidia has been widely used for treatment of inflammatory diseases, such as jaundice, cystolithiasis. However, the mechanism of its anti-inflammatory activity has not been clarified. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of Bower Actinidia pharmacopuncture extract(BA) on LPS-induced inflammation. Methods : The effect of BA was analyzed by ELISA, RT-PCR and Western blotting in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Results : We found that BA suppressed not only the mRNA expression of pre-inflammatory cytokines, cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS), but also the phosphorylation of ERK, JNK and p38. Conclusions : These results suggest that BA exerts an anti-inflammatory effect through the regulation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) pathway, thereby decreasing production of pre-inflammatory cytokines.

편광기는 광변조기나 스위치 등과 같이 구동을 위해 하나의 편광성분을 요구하는 소자를 동작시킬 때 필수적으로 요구되는 소자이다. 편광기를 구현하는 기법에 따라 벌크형, 집적광학형 그리고 광섬유형으로 구분할 수 있다. 광섬유형은 광섬유를 절단하지 않고 제작이 가능하여 삽입손실이 작고 높은 기계적 신뢰성을 가진다. 측면 연마된 광섬유(side-polished fiber)위에 복굴절 크리스탈$^{(1)}$ , 액정크리스탈$^{(2)}$ , 금속막$^{(3)}$ , 그리고 복굴절을 가지는 평면도파로$^{(4)}$ 를 결합한 구조가 잘 알려져 있다. 특히 광섬유-평면도파로 결합 구조는 원하는 파장에서 TE혹은 TM 편광성분을 선택적으로 제거할 수 있고 평면도파로 물질선택이 용이한 구조이기 때문에 많은 주목을 받아 왔다. 하지만 지금 까지 알려진 광섬유-평면도파로 결합기를 이용한 편광기는 편광선택 작용이 발생하는 파장범위가 좁아 범용적으로 사용하는데 적합하지 않는 점이 있다.

코어 가까이 측면 연마한 광섬유를 이용하여 광 여파기, 편광기, 감쇠기등의 광통신 소자로 응용하고자 하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다.$^{[1]}$ 이 소자는 광섬유를 절단하지 않은 상태에서 코어 가까이 측면 연마하여 광학적 기능을 가진 소자를 제작함으로서 공정이 간단하고 삽입손실이 작은 특성을 가지며 기계적 신뢰성이 우수하다. 측면 연마된 광섬유를 이용한 광 증폭의 경우 광섬유의 소산장(evanescent field)과 펌핑광에 의해서 여기되는 활성 물질과의 상호작용에 의해서 광 이득을 얻는다. 소산장 결합에 의한 평면도파로에서의 광 증폭$^{[2]}$ 과 다중 모드 광섬유에서의 펄스 레이저 증폭, 단일 모드 광섬유에서 632.8nm He-Ne 레이저의 연속광원 증폭$^{[3]}$ 은 이미 보고되었다. 본 논문에서는 측면 연마된 다중 모드 광섬유의 연마된 부위에 색소가 첨가된 용액을 떨어뜨림으로서 발생하는 소산장 결합에 의해서 광섬유내를 진행하는 연속적인 He-Ne 레이저 광을 증폭시키는 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

Acupuncture effect principle on meridians is what physical stimulation does on general physiology so that it gets into new equilibrium from the fallen function state of human body. However, it is generally accepted that western medicine has regarded the action passageway of various kinds stimulation as nerve fluids tissue or nerve-endocrine-immune system. These regard any action for all meridians as a response to the stimulation. These are not treatments for transmission of the energy. This paper compares the change of electric potential when operator's bio-energy is passed on and when is not. As a result of it, the effect of acupuncture is different when a operator's bio-energy is passed on to meridians and it isn't. Therefore, it means that the general acupuncture is more effective than the insulation one. Moreover, we could certify that there is close relation between an operator's energy transmission and acupuncture effect.

This study analyze of reflection wave to Acoustic stimulation on acupoints and contrast parts for objectification of the meridian substance. In order to verify meridian pathway and channel theory of bio-energy in body. It was analyzed response characteristic of reflection waves after acoustic stimulation by sound wave of 5 specific tones. The response characteristics of reflection are measured by the average current magnitude of meridian. The current variation ratio are Live Meridian(gung) 33.2%, Heart Meridian(sang) 30.7%, Kidney Meridian (gak) 33.1%, Spleen Meridian(chi) 33.9%, Lung Meridian (wo) 30.7% compare with contrast parts (non-acupoint and meridian). Therefore meridian is distinguished to non-meridian and 5 vital meridians have relationship with sound wave of 5 specific tones.

In this paper, we heat 12 blood vessels which are ends of limbs of a body and measure the time for the patient to feel the pain. Using the time data and the fuzzy rule base, we implement a diagnosis system which can informs the present condition of the patient. It is shown by experiments that the proposed diagnosis system yields reasonable results and it can be easily utilized by beginners.

The essence of meridian collateral and acupoints is an overall physiologic unction with the level of multiple unctional states. However it is a pity that until present, so in this paper described about some experimental results of physical reactions of meridian and acupoints. In order to verify meridian pathway and channel theory of energy in body. It is suppose that substance of meridian is pathway channel of the meridian materials. In basic examination, It was analyzed spectrum of reflection waves after beat or continuos vibrate to meridian point and non-meridian point meridian line and non-meridian line. The characteristics of reflection waves similar to flow channel in hydrodynamic. So it be able to suggest that the meridian is pathway and channel in body.

Objectives : Assuming that the characteristic of meridian system has been similar to that of electrical potentials in human body and that measurements of electrical potential at well(井穴) and sea (合穴) points in branches of the twelve meridians(WSBTM) will be representative of measurements of the twelve meridians, to measure the electrical potentials of 13 patients with stiffness of nape(項强症, SN), to find out the characteristic of meridian system in patients with SN. Methods : Electrical potentials of well and sea points in the meridians in 13 patients with stiffness at neck diagnosed as SN were repeatedly measured by physiograph(PowerLab). Measurements of those electrical potentials were analyzed by factor analysis. Results and Conclusions : The electrical potentials of WSBTM at the left side were divided into five factors. On the other hand those at the right side were divided into five factors. In conclusion, electrical potentials of well and sea points might be the representative meridian to show their characteristics.
