Homoeopathy was established in 1796 by German physician Samuel Hahnemann(1755~1843). This method is an alternative form of therapy involving treatment by natural remedies. The basic principles of homeopathic medicine, "Similia similibus curantur", "experimenta in hominesano", "doses minimae" and "unitas remedii", are founded upon the idea of illness as a disorder of the internal equilibrium at the physical, mental and psychic levels. The three distinguishing characteristics of homeopathy are that remedies are prescribed on the totality of a person's symptoms, that the remedy likely to cure a person is a dilution of that remedies are prepared using microdoses of substances which are diluted and then vigorously shaken. This paper describes the basic principled of homeopathy and compared with the Sa-sang constitutional Medicine from the literature. 1. Homeopathy is the holistic medicine that derived from the competition of vitalism and mechanism, and it is the one of natural medicine that absorbed the influence of asian scholarship and theoretical background of oriental medicine. 2. Homeopathic remedy typologies and Sa-sang constitutional Medicine are same in the mind-body correlativity and in-born typologies. 3. In homeopathy, constitutional types are distinguished the variable types with variety of symptoms by the remedy picture, but comparably in Sa-sang constitutional medicine, it is determined only by the constitutional symptoms.

chaos이론은 현재 사회과학과 자연과학의 많은 분야에 있어서 연구 수단 또는 연구 대상으로서의 폭발적인 인기를 누리고 있다. 열 . 유체역학, 동력학, 구조역학, 화학(화학 분야에 있어서의 chaos개념은 Prigogine(1978년Nobel상 수상자)과 Stengers의 저서에 잘 기술되어 있음), 플라즈마 물리학, 전자공학, 전기공학 등 우리들에게 친숙한 학문은 말할 것 없고, 의학, 생태학, 생물학, 인구학, 경제학, 회계학 등에서도 종래의 것과는 완전히 다른 시각에서 현상을 분석하고 예측하 려는 노력을 하고 있다. 그리고 최근에는 computer graphics 에서도 간단한 수식 모델로 fractal set를 형성시켜, 각종 나무, 꽃, 파도, 구름등 자연의 산물들을 성공적으로 묘사하고 있다. Gleick는 chaos이론에 의한 각 분야에 있어서의 새로운 현상을 Newton-Einstein 이후의 또 다른 과학 혁명이라 부르고 있다. 그리고, 지금까지의 서양 학문이 줄곧 세부화의 길을 달려 왔으나 chaos에 의해 그 과정이 역으로 될 것이라는 인식이 일고 있다. 이는 chaos의 질서의 법칙이 보편타당성(universality)의 일면을 갖고 있다는데 기인되며, 종합화를 지향하는 동양의 제반 학 문과 그 성격상 일맥상통한 점이 있어, chaos학이 동양인의 기호 학문이 되리라 믿는다.

비만은 단순한 신체적 원인 뿐 아니라 심리적, 사회적, 문화적 문제가 복합되어 있다. 따라서, 의료적 측면에 있어서도 전인적 접근이 강조되어야 하나 서양의 치료는 주로 신체적인 문제에 집중한다. 한의학은 몸과 마음을 따로 보지 않는 전인적인 의학이며 비만과 같은 질환을 접근하는데 강점을 갖는다. 지금까지 비만환자를 위한 한의학의 전인적 접근, 즉 신체 뿐아니라 체계적으로 심리적인 접근을 하려는 노력은 많았으나 보고된 연구 성과가 드물었다. 양성치료는 동양철학과 한의학에 근거하여 비만환자를 위해 개발된 전인적 상담프로그램이다. 기존에 발표된 양성치료에 관한 두 논문에서는 이론적 배경과 임상적 효과에 대한 보고를 하였다면, 본 논문에서는 실제 환자의 사례를 통해 실제 치료의 전개와 역동을 서술하였다.

I found following idea, as a result of researching his Science idea, mainly, by translation of the "$Zh\bar{a}ng$ xi $ch\acute{u}n$ $Xu\acute{e}$ $Sh\acute{u}$ ssu $hsi\acute{a}ng$ "(張錫純 學術硏究). $Zh\bar{a}ng$ xi $ch\acute{u}n$ regarded $ch\tilde{u}ng$ $ch\bar{u}ng$ $ts'\bar{a}n$ $hs\bar{l}$' (衷中參西) as the core idea of The Chinese-Western medical combination. He didn't segregate philosophy of the West from One of the Orient. He persued to harmonize each other and thought that the Western medicint theory is included in the Chinese one in many parts. besides, He recognized that it is bad to reject each other, for the medical science's purpose is to save a life, and united The Chinese-Western medicine theory, by $ch\acute{u}ng$ $ch\tilde{u}ng$ $ch\bar{u}ng$ $ts'\bar{a}n$ $hs\bar{l}$'(衷中參西) idea which refers to consult the Western medicine on the basis of the Chinese one. Medical basic theory of $Zh\bar{a}ng$ xi $ch\acute{u}n$ brought up new views of the theory : Dae-gi(大氣), gi-Hwa(氣化) theory, Nongangubgan byung juing chi(論肝及肝病證治), Eum her chijung ja bi(陰虛治重滋脾). Lim Sangeung yong(臨床應用) of Hyul Her gub(血虛及)-Hwal Hyul Hwa $\breve{u}$ bub(活血化瘀法), on the basis of classics, such as, "$N\breve{e}i$ Ching"(內經), "Chin Kue $\breve{i}$ $y\bar{a}o$ $l\ddot{u}{\bar{e}}h$, "Shen $n\acute{u}ng$ $p\breve{e}n$ $t\acute{s}{\check{a}}o$ ching"(新農本草經) etc. I'll sum up $Zh\bar{a}ng$ xi $ch\acute{u}n's$ clinical idea now He unified Sang Han(像寒)-On Byung(溫病) with Yuk Kyung Byung Jung(六經辨證) and It was noticiable to utilize a kinds of Baek Ho Tang(白虎湯). He gave a detailed description about a method of grasp the symptoms of the cause of the internal medicine diseases and pathology and, he left abundant views of theory about using remedy and experience of clinic.

A growing interest in health has been leading to more interest in function of food rather than its taste and nutrition. Usually we think chemical-free or oriental food to be good for health. Yaksun is a food with herbal stuff, which reflects our desire for health and longevity and China's splendid food culture. It is based on the traditional medical thought of the Orient that both medicine and food have the same origin. Yaksun is a traditional functional or nourishing food with both nutritive and medicinal elements, which therefore provides such effects as epicurean pleasure, prevention of diseases and improvement of health. It is recorded that in China there was a dietitian in the royal court from the period of Seoju(B.C. 11∼7), who was responsible for supervising and controlling the health, nutrition and disease of an emperor. Therefore, herbal food has a very long history. Currently, there are many Yaksun stores in Japan and Taiwan as well as China, which are one of popular tourist destinations. Basically Yaksun follows the theory of the Oriental medicine. Yaksun is categorized into four(cold, cool, hot and warm) according to its temperature and into five basic tastes(bitter, sweet, pungent, salty and sour). Yaksun has the functions such as preventing diseases and aging improving internal organs, and healing diseases. In China many colleges of medicine have a department of Yaksun studies through which systematic researches have been being made since a long time ago. For Korea, the discipline of Yaksun studies is still at the beginning stage. To respond to a growing interest in health and prevent chronic adult diseases, it is required to develop a functional food by establishing a systematic theory of Yaksun and making more researches into it.

Various full-scale radio location systems have been developed since ground-based radio navigation systems appeared during World War II, and more recently global positioning systems (GPS) have been widely used as a representative location system. In addition, radio location systems based on cellular systems are intensively being studied as cellular services become more and more popular. However, these studies have been focused mainly on macrocellular systems of which based stations are mutually synchronized. There has been no study about systems of which based stations are asynchronous. In this paper, we proposed two radio location algorithms in microcellular CDMA systems of which base stations are asychronous. The one is to estimate the position of a personal station at the center of rectangular shaped area which approximates the realistic common area. The other, as a method based on road map, is to first find candidate positions, the centers of roads pseudo-range-distant from the base station which the personal station belongs to and then is to estimate the position by monitoring the pilot signal strengths of neighboring base stations. We compare these two algorithms with three wide-spread algorithms through computer simulations and investigate interference effect on measuring pseudo ranges. The proposed algorithms require no recursive calculations and yield smaller position error than the existing algorithms because of less affection of non-line-of-signt propagation in microcellular environments.

현대 사회의 의학기술과 대체의학은 IT 기술과의 융합적 개발로 점차 발전하고 있다. 동양의학 이론을 통해 인체 중 손, 발, 얼굴 등이 오장육부와 관련이 있다는 학설이 널리 알려져 있다. 이 중 발은 '제2의 심장'이라고까지 불려지고 있다. 즉, 발이 건강해야 전신 건강을 유지할 수 있다는 의미도 있지만 실제로 혈액 순환에도 중요하다는 의미도 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 심장과 관련된 발 영역인 왼쪽발바닥 네번째와 다섯 번째 발가락 사이에서 3cm정도 내려간 부위를 지압하여 심장 관련 얼굴 영역의 색상 변화를 측정하는 실험을 수행하였다. 지압에 쓰이는 지압봉은 일반 가정용으로 사용되는 150x10mm 크기의 지압봉이며 지압법으로는 뒤꿈치 방향에서 심장 지압점까지 누르면서하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이와 같은 발지압법을 수행한 후 심장과 관련된 얼굴 영역인 천정과 입술 부위의 붉은 정도를 Lab색체계로 측정하여 a*값 색상의 변화를 분석하였다.

Four-constitutional theory proposed by Dr. Lee, Je-ma has been evolve for last 100years by his followers. One of the major progresses was the emergence of constitutional acupuncture proposed by Dr. Kwan Doh-won. Constitutional acupuncture included the new pulse diagnostic method to determine the body type, pulse diagrams and corresponding acupuncture method called five element acupuncture in which five-element points in 12 meridian channels are used. Dr. Sa-ahm proposed five-element acupuncture three and a half hundred years age. Conjunction of Dr Lee's theory to Dr. Kwan proposed eight constitutions with eight pulse diagrams. He also adopted eight acupuncture prescriptions out of twenty-four Sa-ahm's acupuncture prescriptions. The author, Dr. Yom Tae-hwa, proposed more inclusive theory of 24 constitutions with 24 diagnostic pulse diagrams in Las Vegas International Acupuncture Convention in 1986. This article reviews history of constitutional medicine briefly. Each step of theoretical evolution from four-constitutional theory to twenty-four-constitutional theory is explained. By understanding the theoretical connection between twelve meridian channels based on five-element theory and four-constitutional theory in the article, one will easily accept the emergence of twelve of twenty four constitutional theory. Next, the article is focused on four subcategories under Sao-Yin constitution, which are one-sixth of 24 constitution. in this section classification, pulse diagnostic method, pulse diagram acupuncture prescriptions and herbal prescriptions are explained in detail. Then, clinical trial reports of acupuncture treatment and/or herbal formulas for such constitutions are attached for the rest part of the article. the purpose of this paper is to present the new hypothesis with the result of preliminary clinical trial hoping that additional clinical reports from other practitioners in this field triggers well-designed clinical study in future.

Kidney diseases rates in modern Korean society, which is entering an aging society, are growing. These diseases diagnosed at early stage can be cured with the drug or dietary treatment. If, however, at worsening stage, kidney dialysis or transplant is needed. In this context, we analyzed the relationship between kidney and voice by measuring and analyzing the changing rate of the vocal chord and intensity according to hemodialysis. For this, we collected voice samples before and after hemodialysis, and compared and analyzed them through application of vocal analytical element. Namely, based on oriental medical diagnosis theory that voice is quieted down when kidney is abnormal, we collected voice samples before and after hemodialysis, and applied trembling and intensity analysis of vocal chord.

This study is to analyze the impedance response in human body by acoustic stimulation on acupoints and contrast parte; for objectification of the meridian substance. It is to verify meridian pathway and channel theory or bio-energy in body. This paper proposes to make an hypothesis about the underground water theory. The meridian has not tube or pipe line type channel but bio-energy flow along the channel similar to flowing pattern of underground water in body. It was analyzed the current characteristic or impedance response after acoustic stimulation by sound wave of 5 specific tones. The response characteristics of current stimulation are measured by the average current magnitude and variation ratio or meridian. The current variation ratio or 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% are to be compared to contrast parts (non-acupoint and meridian). In experimental results, meridian is discrimination to non-meridian, and 5 vital meridians have a reciprocal relationship with sound wave of 5 specific tones.
