"JeSeBoGam (濟世寶鑑)" was a medical document authored by Moon Gi-hong during the Japanese colonial rule in 1933, and the author acted as a Korean medicine doctor, an acupuncturist, a medicine practitioner and an apothecary. Since its first publication in 1933, it has been published three times in 1966 and 1975, from the Japanese colonial period to the liberation period. "JeSeBoGam" is largely divided into Preface part, "List of drugs according to symptoms [隨症用藥目錄]", "JeSeBoGam-Gap (濟世寶鑑甲)", and the Appendix includes "Key points for diagnosing the disease [察病要訣]" "Key points of acupuncture and pulse [脈訣]" "Key points of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment [針灸訣]" in the back of the book. In 1933, there are attached exam books and license application forms related to Korean medicine doctor and pharmacist, so strict regulations on them during the Japanese occupation period can be confirmed. "JeSeBoGam-Gap" contains 208 prescriptions from 143 prescriptions taken from "BangYakHapPyeon" and 65 prescriptions from other books. It divided into Gap (甲) Eul (乙) Byung (丙) Jung (丁). These prescriptions were placed in "List of drugs according to symptoms [隨症用藥目錄]" according to a symptom 1,286 times. Considerable parts of organization and prescription drug composition of "JeSeBoGam" are closely related with "BangYakHapPyeon", but there were adjustments in all medicinal ingredients and capacity for the rest of them except 23 prescription drugs. Compared to "BangYakHapPyeon", there was a tendency to substitute the basic prescription in "JeSeBoGam" for prescriptions used for the same disease. Though only 65 prescriptions were taken from books other than "BangYakHapPyeon", 575 times were reflected in "List of drugs according to symptoms [隨症用藥目錄]", and the rate of utilization is high compared with the number of prescriptions of "BangYakHapPyeon". It is thought that the circumstances of the Japanese occupation period, limits in medicinal ingredients composition due to regional characteristics, and changes in a patient's condition and the treatment method might have an influence on the author's drug use tendency. "JeSeBoGam" is similar to "BangYakHapPyeon" in composition, but it is a new practical medical book in which the author's clinical records are concentrated.

We examined and referred to some literatures on the meaning, Dai meridian and Meridian points of joining with circulation of Dai meridian through literatures of every generation. And then we came to get a few conclusions as follows. 1. Dai meridian starts below the hypochondriac region. Running obliquely downward, it runs transversely around the waist like a belt. Its function is to bind up all the meridians to circulate in a proper way. 2. The coalescent points of dai meridian are $D\grave{a}im\grave{a}i$(帶脈), $W\check{u}sh\bar{u}$(五樞) and $W\acute{e}id\grave{a}o$(維道). 3. Location of $D\grave{a}im\grave{a}i$(帶脈) is on the lateral side of the abdomen, 1.8 cun below $Zh\bar{a}ngm\grave{e}n$(章門), at the crossing point of vertical line through the free end of the 11th rib and a horizontal line through the umbilicus. Location of $W\check{u}sh\bar{u}$(五樞) is on the lateral side of the abdomen, anterior to the anterosuperior iliac spine, 3 cun below the level of the umbilicus. Location of $W\acute{e}id\grave{a}o$(維道) is on the lateral side of the abdomen, anterior and inferior to the anterosuperior iliac spine, 0.5 cun anterior and inferior to $W\check{u}sh\bar{u}$(五樞). 4. Indication of $D\grave{a}im\grave{a}i$(帶脈) is irregular menstruation, leukorrhea with reddish discharge, hernia, pain in the lumbar and hypochondriac region. Indication of $W\check{u}sh\bar{u}$(五樞) is prolapse of the uterus, leukorrhea with reddish discharge, irregular menstruation, hernia, pain in the lower abdomen, constipation and lumbosacral pain. Indication of $W\acute{e}id\grave{a}o$(維道) is edema, pain in the side of the lower abdomen, prolapse of the uterus, hernia and morbid leukorrhea. 5. The Dai meridian binds all meridians, produces pregnancy, grasps lumbar and abdomen region and controls leukorrhea. 6. Diseases of the Dai meridian manifested as distention and fullness in the lumbar region and abdomen, leukorrhea with reddish discharge, pain the navel, lumbar and spinal regions, flaccidity and hypoactivity of the lower limbs, etc.

The moxibustion therapy of orient medical is well known. Moxibustion method is used to burning moxibustion. The variation factors of the moxibustion stimulation for body can be applied to the electronic moxibustion method. This study is to analyze and examine the electroencephalogram(EEG) variations for moxibustion stimulation. In experiment, we divided six healthy male subjects into two same sized groups : with and without stimuli. The given stimuli are the moxibustion for CV4(Kwan-Won), CV8(Shin-Guel), and CV12(Jung-wan) acupuncture points. We have analyzed the power spectrum for ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\delta}$, ${\Theta}$ waves and the average EEG variation level and each channels variation level of EEG. The result was that the moxibustion stimulation decreased the EEG levels of parietal lobe(ch 2, 3, 6, 7) according to the somatosensory system. And the apparent different points are that mild-heat($42{\sim}44^{\circ}C$) stimulation generating ${\alpha}$-wave is increased and ${\beta}$-wave is decreased, also slight-hot($45{\sim}48^{\circ}C$) stimulation made ${\alpha}$-wave decrease and ${\beta}$-wave increase for occipital lobe(ch 4,8) on the simulation group.

Objective: We present a case of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain with the aim of driving further study evaluating the effectiveness of Oriental medical treatment on patients with neuropathic pain. Method: We prescribed Bogijetong-tang (BJT) two times a day and performed acupuncture and moxibustion once a day over one month of hospitalization. Laboratory tests were performed twice a month during this period. To evaluate the therapeutic effect, Total Symptom Score (TSS) or Visual Analog Score (VAS) was examined at intervals of 7 days. Result: Laboratory data showed no abnormal signs compared with those of initial examination. The patient's subjective symptoms were rapidly relieved within one month. Also, the sums of TSS scores (upper limbs/lower limbs) decreased from 13.64/7.32 to 3.32/3.32 points, and VAS scores (upper limbs/lower limbs) improved from 19/10 to 6/8 points. Conclusion: This case presents a possibility that Oriental medical treatment may offer potential benefits (from an approach aimed at relieving of pain) for patients with chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain.

"Beijijiufa" is a book written by Wenrenqinian, 1226, Song dynasty. It provides moxibustion on acute disease. However, the book is composed with quotations by other authors such as Gehong, Zhenquan, Sunzhenren, Hwangdi Qibo and others. Sunzhenren is a dominant author out of them by quotations. 14 diseases out of 22 in acute disease, is quoted in "Qianjinfang" of Sunzhenren. I will compare texts of "Beijijiufa" with "Qianjinfang" and try to figure out differences between them just like text itself, methods of treatment, moxibution point, number of points, case of male or female and so on. As a result, comparing with "Qianjinfang", "Beijijiufa" has somehow new opinions about acute disease by moxibution in methods of treatment, moxibution point, number of points, case of male or female etc., even if it referred "Qianjinfang".

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to identify changes of texts by investigating similarities and differences of the third chapter of limb diseases section between Beijiqianjinyaofang(BJQJYF) and Sunzhenrenqianjinfang(SZRQJF). Methods : I reviewed the third chapter of limb diseases section both of BJQJYF and SZRQJF and analysed the changes of texts. Results : 1. Hand, shoulder and low back pains mentioned in the second chapter of glossopathy from SZRQJF were moved to the third chapter of limb diseases in BJQJYF. 2. Inappropriate indications were changed reasonably. 3. Contents related with treatment were revised, by addition or deletion of contents. 4. There were some contents which were worth clinically in SZRQJF. 5. The rule of choosing acupoints for hand, arm, leg, knee and limb disease was selection of local points, and for shoulder and low back disease was selection of distant points. Conclusions : Classification and contents of the third chapter of limb diseases were re-organized systematically through proofreading by medical printing authority. However, some contents deleted from SZRQJF were worth clinically, and more studies are necessary to identify the reason why the indication and selection of acupoints were changed by proofreading.

The literature which was written about manual technique of 'Four method of conducting the Qi(氣)'suggest the following results. 1. Four method of conducting the Qi(氣) is a total method based on the basic manual method, lifing and thrusting, twisting and rotating(捻轉), timing the insertion and withdrawal(呼吸) ect. 2) Cheongryongphami method(靑龍擺尾法) come to understanding channels and conducting and Qi(氣), Paekhoyodu method(白虎搖頭法) using a channels understanding and Qi(氣) introducing, Changkuthamhyeol method(蒼龜探穴法) using a channels understanding, Ceokpongyeongweon method(赤鳳迎源法) using a collaterals understanding. 3) Cheongryongphami(靑龍擺尾) and Changkuthamhyeol method(蒼龜探穴法) were used on disease like insufficiency symptom-complex(盧證), Paekhoyodu(白虎搖頭) and Ceokpongyeongweon method(赤鳳迎源法) were used on excessivess symptom-complex(實證) of pathogenic factors selectively. But all of them often used on C.V.A. 4) The Yang Channel's points, under the elbow and knee point, are often used as points which are used in "Four method of conducting the Qi(氣), and the Yin, Ren(任) Du(督) channels are used less than the former. 5) The manual techniques of 'Four method of conducting the Qi(氣)' are often used in clinically. "Four method of conducting the Qi(氣)"has been studies as above, but there weren't a lot of literature which is about total manual technique of acupuncture. So there is a need study about it.
