  • The spleen is the source of gi, blood, body fluid and plays a vital role in maintaining life. The function of the spleen is to transform food nutrients and water, and to transport them to the heart and the lung. The movement of splenic gi is marked by elevation. The spleen governs the activity of elevating the lucid. The function of transportation and transformation is usually disturbed in the state of Gi deficiency of the spleen. The main clinical manifestations of gi deficiency of the spleen can be divided into as followers: anorexia, loose stool if the digesting and absorbing functions are disturbed; phlegm and edema if dampness and water are retained due to unhealthy water metabolism. Sagunja-tang can be applied for gi deficiency syndrome of the spleen. Ingredient bakchul(Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) and bokryeung(Poria) can be used as monarch drug to eliminate dampness and strengthen the spleen.

  • Orthodontic band cements are widely used in the fields of orthodontics, but they are commonly known as cytotoxic material. Within an oral cavity several ions and components are released from orthodontic band cements, thus causing inflammation or injury to the Periodontal tissue. Therefore, it is very important to estimate the biocompatibility of orthodontic band cements. The purpose of this study was to assess the cytotoxic effect of orthodontic band cements to HGF cells. A zinc phosphate cement, a glass ionomer, a resin modified glass ionomer, and compomer were used to evaluate three cytotoxicity assays: cell proliferation assay, MTT assay, and agar ovelay assay The results were as follows: 1. In the cell proliferation assay, Gl>ZPC, RMGI, RMGI24, GI24>compomer24, ZPC24, compomer>metal ring lined up in order of cytotoxicity 2. In the MTT assay, GI>ZPC, RMGI>GI24>ZPC24, compomer, metal ring, RMGI24, compomer24 lined up in order of cytotoxicity. 3. In the agar overlay test, GI>GI24, ZPC, ZPC24, RMGI>RMGI24, compomer, compomer24, metal ring lined up in order of cytotoxicity.

  • The objective of this study is to verify the effects of Moosim-Gi-Gong Doinbeop on low back pain targeting low back pain patients hospitalized in Korean medicine hospitals. For the study, 44 adult female and male patients hospitalized with low back pain at M Korean Medicine Hospital and H Korean Medicine Hospital located in Gimpo, Gyeonggi Province were recruited. The subjects had a temperature difference between left and right 湧泉(KI1) of over 0.5℃ through infrared thermographic imaging, and 23 of them were classified in the control group for retrospective analysis based on the test records. Infrared thermographic imaging, X-ray pelvic AP view - standing position, a sit-and-reach test and a VAS survey were employed for detection, and IBM SPSS Statistics 24 for the statistical process. The results were rounded down to three decimal places as in an average±standard deviation, and the significance level was 0.05 to be evaluated significant if p<0.05. The result of the study is as follows: 1. In the comparison between before and after conducting Moosim-Gi-Gong Doinbeop, the meaningful difference was shown in the experimental group in all indicators. But Indicators except for the temperature difference between right and left 湧泉(KI1)(difference between before and after) and In displaced pelvic correction indicators on the X-ray showed a significant difference in the control group. 2. As for the variation widths of the experimental group and the control group, the former showed significant temperature differences between 印堂(EX-HN3) and 關元(CV4) and right and left 湧泉(KI1); difference variations of anteflexion; and changes in PI and In displacement on the X-ray. 3. As for changes in the experimental group according to demographic characteristics, gender, age and degree of obesity did not show significant differences in all indicators. However, those who experienced back pain for more than six months in the experimental group showed the biggest body temperature differences between 印堂(EX-HN3) and 關元(CV4), while other indicators had no significant difference. As a result, patients who received Korean medicine treatment showed relieved back pain and improvement in pelvic correction and sports activity; however, those who got Moosim-Gi-Gong Doinbeop together showed more clearer improvement effects in pelvic correction and sports activity.

  • Jangjahwa(張子和) was influenced by "Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)" and Yuhagan(劉河間)'s theory, and other classics. Also, his clinical experience was helpful to theorize his thought. Thus, he improved medical theory by combining previous medical theory and his own experience. The essence of his thought is the importance of pathogenic Gi[邪氣] as the cause of disease and is Sambeop(三法) of Hantoha(汗吐下) as the methodology for removing pathogenic Gi[邪氣] away. He regarded pathogenic Gi as the cause of disease, and eliminated pathogenic Gi for the remedy. Namely, Sambeop(三法) of Hantoha(汗吐下) was selected as the best efficient method for driving pathogenic Gi away. Sambeop of Jangjahwa(張子和) have different meaning from previous one. Traditionally, Diaphoretic Therapy[汗法] was regarded as therapy for exogenous disease[外感病], and its effect was regarded as Balhanhaepyo(發汗解表). Emetic therapy[吐法] was throwing up Dameumsuksik(痰飮宿食) of stomach and above diaphragm. Purgation therapy[下法] means Tongbyeon(通便), Hajeok(下積), Sasil(瀉實), Chuksu(逐水) were regarded as therapy for Yangmyeongsiljeung(陽明實證) of Sanghan(傷寒). He submitted a new extensive concept of Sambeop adding traditional one, and expanded the application range of Sambeop. All methods, can cause circulation of Gihyeol(氣血) by opening the 'Hyeonbu(玄府)', like Moxibution therapy[灸薰], Steaming[蒸], Washing[洗],Heat therapy[慰], Cauterization[烙], Acupuncture therapy[鍼刺], Stone needling, Physical and breathing exercise[導引], Massage[按摩] were regarded as Diaphoretic Therapy[汗法]. Especially, he thought that Diaphoretic Therapy and venesection[瀉血] have same medical implication. If we examine the process of pushing out pathogenic Gi[邪氣] by means of Sambeop(三法), we can find the intermediation, that is circulation of Gihyeol(氣血). Its meaning is implied in the word of 'opening Hyeonbu(玄府)'. He thought that the circulation of Gihyeol(氣血) is the key to control health. Gihyeol(氣血) was circulated well under the physiological balance, but it was not circulated well under the invasion of pathogenic Gi[邪氣]. In other words, pathogenic Gi is the immediate cause of bad circulation of Gihyeol(氣血) and disease. Naturally, the doctor must remove pathogenic Gi that cause bad circulation for healing by means of Sambeop(三法). In my opinion, because the ultimate goal of Jangjahwa(張子和) was circulation of Gihyeol(氣血) by removing pathogenic Gi[邪氣], the concept of Sarnbeop(三法) could be expanded.

  • In the present image processing technique, the concept of the gradient indicator(GI) has been introduced to find out the depth-of-field in sizing large particles ranging from 30μm to 30μm where using of the concept of the normalized contrast value(VC) is not appropriate. The gradient indicator is defined as the ratio of the local value to the maximum possible value of the gray-level gradient in an image frame. The gradient indicator decreases with the increases of the particle size and the distance from the exact focal plane. A particle is considered to be in focus when the value of the gradient indicator at its image boundary stays above a critical value. This critical gradient indicator(GIcritical) is defined as the maximum gradient indicator(GImax) subtracted by a constant ΔGI which is to account for the particle-size effect. In the present ca.so, the value of ΔGI was set to 0.28 to keep the standard deviation of the measured particles mostly within 0.1. It was also confirmed that, to find the depth-of-field for small particles(30μm) with the same measurement accuracy, tho concept of the critical normalized contrast(VCcritical) is applicable with 85% of the maximum normalized contrast value(VCmax). Finally, the depth-of-field was checked for the size range between 10μm and 300μm when the both in-focus criteria (GIcritical and VCcritical) were adopted. The change of the depth-of-field with the particle size shows good linearity in both the VC-applicable and the GI-applicable ranges with a reasonable accuracy.
