This study reviews and suggests the followings: 1) The balance and harmony between water and fire (ki and blood, yin and yang) is regarded as the basic condition of maintaining health in Oriental medicine. 2) Oriental medicine defines disease as the imbalance or disharmony of body. So the discordance between water and fire is in ill state, the coordination between water and fire is in healthy state. 3) Etiological factors and pathology are summarized by the conflict between vital ki and pathogenic factors, six exogenous factors, internal injury by seven emotions and the imbalance between yin and yang. 4) The regulation of meridian ki recovers the balance between water and fire, ki and blood using acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, herbal medicine and physical and breathing exercise and massage which is based on the principle of controlling ki and spirit.

Objectives: The purpose was to take a closer look at the fundamental principles of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and to investigate its clinical applications for Korean medical fields. Results: IPL is a type of light treatment that is employed by radiating the short-pulse wave, which is transformed from high-intensity light. It may be used to stimulate skin along meridian channels in clinical fields of Korean medicine like acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping therapy, Guasha therapy, and other related traditional techniques.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to report the improvement of dyspepsia in a patient with liver cirrhosis and pancytopenia following traditional Korean medical treatment. Methods: A patient who suffered from dyspepsia with liver cirrhosis and pancytopenia was treated with herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, and moxibustion. The effect of treatment was measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: After treatment, the symptoms of dyspepsia improved and VAS score decreased. Conclusions: Traditional Korean medicine (TKM) could be effective for treatment of dyspepsia in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was carried out to review for hydrotherapy, phototherapy, cupping therapy, therapeutic touch and massage as a Korean traditional physical therapy. Methods : This is literature study with books, and thesis. Results : The physical therapy that is in use nowadays has been around since human being started to live on the earth. In primitive times, when men were injured while hunting, they washed the wound in clinic water and dried it out in the sunshine, they also soaked their bodies in hot springs to decrease physical fatigue, Heating of injured tissue has been used for centuries for pain relief and muscle spasm. Conclusion : Korean traditional physical therapy has been developed and its scientific effects has been proven, It is required, to continue to carry out studying on this field.

Objectives : The objective of this study is to report a effectiveness of korean medical treatment based on Meridian Tendino-musculature Acupuncture to patient with cervical dystonia. Methods : In this study, we conducted treatment based on Meridian Tendino-musculature Acupuncture to patients. And we also carried out treatments like herb medicine and cupping therapy etc. Tsui's score, Neck Disability Index(NDI), Visual analogue scale(VAS) and angle of C-spine were measured once a month to evaluate the severeness of symptom. Results : After 24 sessions of treatment, there were improvements on Tsui's score, Neck Disability Index(NDI), Visual analogue scale(VAS) and angle of C-spine.

The 3-dimensional finite element program is developed to analyze the non-isothermal forming processes of aluminum-alloy sheet metals. Bishop's method is introduced to solve the heat balance and force equilibrium equations. Also, Barlat's non-quadratic anisotropic yield function depicts the planar anisotropy of the aluminum-alloy sheet. To find an appropriate constitutive equation, four different forms are reviewed. For the verification of the reliability of the developed program, the computational try-outs of the non-isothermal cylindrical cupping processes of AL5052-H32 and Al1050-H16 are carried out. As results, the constitutive equation relating to strain and strain-rate, in which the constants are represented by the 5th-degree polynomials of temperature, is in good agreement with measurement. The computational try-outs can predict optimal forming conditions in non-isothermal forming processes.

The purpose of this case study is to report the effect of oriental medical treatment on chronic tension-type headache. Despite the patient was treated by cervical nerve block for headache, headache was not improved. We diagnosed chronic tension-type headache according to ICHD-II(The International Classification of Headache Disorders) and Qi deficiency, dampness and phlegm by oriental differential diagnosis of symptom and signs. We applied herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping therapy for hospitalization(7 days). Oriental medical treatment may have effective results in treating chronic tension-type headache that was not improved by cervical nerve block treatment. But this is a single case study, so further case-series research should be compiled.

Introduction This study is the first case report to observe a significant improvement of clinical symptoms of both Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis(RAS) and pompholyx treating with modified Palmulgunja-tang for Soeum-type. Case presentation A 37-year-old female patient complained of pain by ulcers on her mouth and tongue, and of itching caused by vesicles on her palms and soles was diagnosed with RAS, pompholyx, and, especially moderate pattern of 'Congestive Hyperpsychotic symptomatology' according to the theory of Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM). During inpatient and outpatient treatment, she took modified Palmulgunja-tang, and was treated with acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping therapy. The effectiveness of these therapies was assessed with subjective Neumeral Rating Scale(NRS) and Dyshidotic Eczema Area and Severity Index(DASI). Conclusion After the treatment according to the theory of SCM, NRS, and DASI score about RAS and pompoholyx was decreased, and the general condition of the patient also has improved.
