Allergy is one of the most common intractable disease, and also allergic rhinitis is the common symptom of the allergic diseases encountered in the otolaryngologic department. There are number of treatment such as: allergen avoidance by environmental control, pharmacotherapy, allergen immunotherapy and more. But choosing the exact reguired treatment is very difficult and troublesome. During the past 3 years, we have provided treatments to 49 allergic rhinitis patients with the combined therapy of stellate ganglion block(SGB) and eletrical acupuncture(E-AP) with very good results. From our experiences we highly recommend the combined therapy with SGB and E-AP for allergic rhinitis.

Therapeutic effect of Yinyang Balancing Appliance of functional cerebrospinal therapy (FCST) for meridian and neurologic yinyang balance was observed in a lumbar spinal stenosis case. One lumbar spinal stenosis case was managed with the Yinyang Balancing Appliance on temporomandibular joint (TMJ), combined with acupuncture. Clinical outcome measurement was based on subjective measures and clinical observations. The patient showed positive changes even after the initial treatment and this effect maintained over the follow-up period. further clinical and biological research on FCST is expected.

Objective : The objective of this study was to research depression with acupuncture & moxibustion treatment. Methods : We searched Chinese Medical Literature(published from 1985~2002) related to depression and acupuncture. Results : 1) PC6(內關), HT7(神門), ST36(足三里), GV20(百會), LR3(太衝), SP6(三陰交) are much used for the treatment depression. 2. LR3(太衝), CV17(전중), GB34(陽陵泉), ST40(豊隆), PC6(內關) are much used for the excess type of depression and PC6(內關), SP6(三陰交), HT7(神門), BL15(心兪) are much used for deficiency type of depression. 3. ST36(足三里), SP6(三稜交), HT7(神門), PC6(內關), HT5(通里), KI1(通泉) are used for the treatment depression in electroacupuncture therapy. BL15(心兪), BL20(脾兪),ST36(足三里) are used for the treatment depression in acupoint injection therapy. 4. In dermal needle therapy, it is used to tap slightly until the skin becomes congested in the region of Bladder meridian and nape, back of Governor Vessel. 5. It seems that psychotherapy, music therapy and light therapy will be applied for the treatment of depression.

목적 : 정상 췌장조직 속에 존재하는 췌장 소도세포들을 파괴시켜 고혈당을 유발시키고 복령 물추출물로 약침을 시술하여 췌장 조직의 보호효과와 항당뇨 효과를 살펴보고자 실험을 진행하였다. 방법 : 5주령의 Sprague-Dawley rat을 통제된 실험실 환경에 적응시킨 후 1주일간 복령약침액(125mg/kg 복령약침군 및 250mg/kg 복령약침군)을 좌우 신수($BL_{23}$)에 교대로 각각 피하에 약침하고 streptozotocin을 복강내 주사하여 3일 후 diabetes mellitus 유도 정도를 평가하고 2주일간 추가 치료를 진행 한 뒤, 혈액지표(plasma glucose, insulin, TG, TC, NEFA, sGOT, sGPT, ALP, BUN, CRE)와 췌장조직의 형태학적 분석 및 염증 관련 단백질의 발현을 평가하였다. 결과 : 복령약침군(125mg/kg 복령약침군 및 250mg/kg 복령약침군)에서 insulin과 triglyceride, NEFA 수치가 유의하게 감소하였으며 간 기능 효소수치인 sGOT가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, 신장기능지수는 유의한 감소를 나타내지 않았다. 특히 250mg/kg 복령약침군에서 streptozotocin 투여로 인한 pancreatic islet의 형태학적 변성이 현저하게 개선되었다. Western blot 결과 JNK-2, P-JNK-2, P-JNK-1, ERK1/2 및 phosphorylated ERK1의 발현이 감소되었다. 결론 : 복령약침이 고인슐린혈증과 고지질질혈증을 개선시키고 streptozotocin에 의한 pancreatic islet의 파괴를 억제하며, 이는 inflammation-related transcription factor인 NF-kB와도 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 향후 복령약침의 항당뇨 효과와 그 기전에 관한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다
