The market of conferences and expos of traditional/ complementary and alternative medicine has not been mature enough while interests in those medicines are growing fast. Meanwhile, some related events in Europe, North America, and Asia, held on regular basis, have reached to the international level in size, such as CAMExpo The Complementary, Natural & Healthcare Show in Europe, Integrative Healthcare Symposium in North America, Ayurveda Congress & Arogya Expo in India, International Conference and Exhibition of the Modernization of Chinese Medicine & Health Products in Hong Kong. Those events have been held for 10 years or so, initiated their own features, and secured their own regular booth exhibitors and visitors. They open the homepage on the internet one or two years before their events are held and vigorously advertise their events on yearly basis. To succeed in, and bear fruits from, the 2013 World Traditional Medicine Expo in Sancheong, it is needed to analyze strong points of the events above and benchmark a practical timeline and technical road map to the 2013 Expo from them.

Objectives : This study analyzed the contents of research papers of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) concerning chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) published in PubMed during the last 5 years. This study was conducted to help clinical studies for treating COPD with Oriental medicine. Materials and Methods : We inspected 31 theses and scrutinized their objectives, periods, participants, materials and methods, methods of assessment, results and Jadad score. Results : The treatments in the studies were supplements, physical training, acupuncture, acu-TENS, Bojungikgi-tang (Buzhongyiqi-tang), counseling, breathing training, osteopathic manipulative treatment, reflexology, and distractive auditory stimuli. The aims of treatment were improvement of exercise capacity, lung function, quality of life, oxidative status, nutrient status, systemic inflammation, and cessation of smoking. The median for treatment period of study was 8 weeks, the median number of participants was 35 and the differences between mean $FEV_1$ from groups were less than 10% in 22 studies. The methods of assessment were lung function test, exercise capacity test, muscle strength test, questionnaire of QoL, laboratory studies, and measurement of nutrient state. The mean of Jadad score was $2.4\;{\pm}\;1.03$, and 24 treatment were assessed as effective. Conclusion : Recent CAM studies of COPD have focused on various topics in alternative and complementary medicine, and it is necessary to provide objective studies for treatment of this disease with Oriental medicines.

목 적:이유기의 영양은 영유아의 성장과 발달 뿐 아니라 성인 건강에도 장기적으로 영향을 미친다. 또한 이 시기의 영양섭취는 전적으로 보호자에게 의존하므로 보호자의 이유기 보충식에 대한 인식이 중요하다. 이에 본 영양위원회에서는 이유기 보충식 현황을 조사하여 과거 영양위원회 보고와 비교하고, 어머니의 이유기 보충식에 대한 인식 수준을 조사분석하여 문제점을 파악하고 영유아 영양 상담의 방향과 개선책을 제시하고자 하였다. 방 법:2008년 9월에서 12월까지 전국 14개 종합병원 소아청소년과를 방문한 9-15개월 영유아의 어머니를 대상으로 본 위원회에서 만든 설문지를 작성하도록 하였다. 총 1,078매 설문지를 SAS 9.1 통계프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 결 과:이유기 보충식을 4-7개월에 89.3%에서 시작하였다. 93.3 %에서 처음 준 음식은 쌀미음이었고, 96.5%에서 숟가락으로 주기 시작하였다. 12-15개월 영유아를 대상으로 식품 도입 시기를 보면 6-7개월에 쇠고기를 준 경우는 43.2%였고 12개월 이전 소금 뿌린 김을 준 경우 35.3%, 된장국을 준 경우는 50.7%, 생우유를 준 경우는 10.7%였다. 이유기 보충식에 대한 정보원은 육아 책이나 잡지(57.9%), 친구나 또래 엄마(29.9%), 인터넷(28.7%), 부모나 친지(14.1%), 의료인(4.4%) 순이었다. 영양위원회에서 시행한 1993년 조사와 비교하면 4개월 이전 이유기 보충식을 시작한 경우(0.4% vs. 20.6%)와 시판 이유기 보충식으로 시작한 경우(6.7% vs. 38.8%)가 현저히 감소하였다. 숟가락으로 시작한 경우(96.5% vs. 57%)는 현저히 증가하였다. 어머니의 이유기 보충식에 대한 인식 수준에 대한 10문항을 점수화 하였을 때 평균 인식 점수는 $7.5{\pm}2.1$였고 다음 4문항에서 동의율이 낮았다: 고기를 이유기 초기에 도입해야 한다(57.4%), 분유(우유)가 두유보다 좋다(65.1%), 아기에게 이온음료를 먹일 필요가 없다(66.6%), 분유병은 15-18개월에 떼야 한다(67.5%). 인식 점수는 출생 순서가 빠른 경우, 어머니의 나이가 30대인 경우, 학력이 대졸 이상인 경우, 거주 지역이 서울과 경기 지역인 경우, 이유기 보충식에 대한 정보원이 의료인과 책이나 잡지인 경우에 가장 높았다. 결 론:이유기 보충식 실행 방법은 과거와 비교하여 현저하게 개선되었다. 소아청소년과 의사는 어떤 음식을 언제 도입하는지에 대한 체계적인 이유기 보충식 스케줄을 제공해야 하며 다양한 이유기 보충식에 대한 정보원을 관리 감독 해야 할 것이다.

The edible part of cucurbita moschata Duch, which is commonly used as a Korean traditional medicine as well as a popular food source, was studied to isolate anti-complementary substance. Extracts of Cucurbita moschata Duch showed significant anti-complementary activities on the classical pathway of the complement system. Especially, the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch had more activity than that of the complement system. Especially, the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch had more activity than that of the green one in terms of the overall anti-complementary activity. Among the extracts of various organic solvents of the ripe Cucurbita moschata Duch, chloroform and ethyl-acetate extracts, which are non-polar solvent extracts, showed the strongest activities. These results suggest that the major difference in the solvent extraction for the anti-complementary substances depends on the change in the chemical composition such as the fatty acid with the degree of ripening.

This study investigates the effect of a combination of homeopathic medicine and electro- acupuncture in two patients with breast cancer and severe liver disease who could not receive standard anaesthesia therapy due to liver problems. Specifically, measurable and quantifiable parameters were used to evaluate whether an integrated approach-consisting of electro- acupuncture and a homeopathic medicine diluted above Avogadro's limit (that is, above a potency of 12CH) during the pre-surgical, surgical and post-surgical phases -can improve general well-being of a patient undergoing breast cancer surgery. In breast cancer surgery, we employed an integrated approach consisting of induction with hypnotics and muscle relaxants, followed by maintenance with anaesthetic gas, combined with a homeopathic treatment (Arnica montana 15CH and Apis mellifica 15CH) before and after surgery and an electro- acupuncture treatment performed in the pre- and post-surgical phases without any analgesic/pain relieving medications. Both of the patients treated with the integrated approach improved their overall condition without need for other common pain relieving medicines. Additionally, thanks to their rapid awakening, the patients were not relocated to a protected area and the hospitalization was shorter. A multidisciplinary approach incorporating homeopathic medicine and electro-acupuncture can be a solution for patients who need or ask about a different and/or safer alternative to the standard treatment. This approach can offer a safe, much less expensive, non-invasive and viable alternative for such cases. Moreover it can be useful for an opioids free anesthesia.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends in foreign clinical trials for pediatric asthma in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Methods : We reviewed 31 randomized controlled trials (RCT) for pediatric asthma treatment in CAM published from 2005 to 2015 in PubMed and analyzed their treatments, compounds of herbal medicines, acupoints, methods of assessment, and treatment results. Results : The treatments used in the studies were herbal medicines, acupuncture, acupoint application, breathing training, supplement, normocaloric diet, yoga, massage therapy, and art therapy. The frequently used herbs were Asari Herba Cum Radix (細辛). Ephedrae Herba (麻黃), Astragali Radix. The most common acupoints were Feishu (肺兪, BL13). The methods of assessment in pediatric asthma were symptom scale, questionnaire of Quality of Life, lung function test, laboratory studies, and medication usage. In 28 out of 31 studies, treatment group gets better than non-treated group. Conclusions : This study shows that CAM is effective in treating pediatric asthma. More clinical studies using objective outcome measures are needed to prove its efficacy clearly.

Ginseng is a popular herbal medicine that has been used for thousands of years. A number of its components have been isolated and characterized, including ginsenosides, polysaccharides, peptides, polyacetylenic alcohols, and fatty acids. The lipophilic characteristics of ginsenosides have raised the possibility of their efficacy as steroid hormones. Several in-vitro studies have reported their pharmacological function as steroid hormones, especially estrogen, but no human study to date has confirmed their efficacy as alternatives to synthetic estrogen.
