  • The review of the literature had been done to investigate the mechanism of the herbal medicines contained in traditional Korean medical books. We had thought the results could provide the theoretical basis of adding herbal medicies to functional drink. This study is a document research in cluding a historical review of traditional beverages from after the period of the Joseon Dynasty, analysis of the characteristics of tradition the herbal medicine of the Joseon entered the new stage at the era of King Sejong. In the reign of Sejong, there had been a noticeable increase in kinds of herbs. Besides understanding the quality of herbs by provinces, the Joseon government also had pushed ahead with increase policy of herbs. The more the standard of living and incomes have increased, the more the concern of our health has been raised. This social phenomenon has affected on the food& beverage industry. The food& beverage industry of Korea has been already reorganized like the ones in developed countries in the early 21st century. Consumers are particular choosing their beverages; they concern their health, convenience, and taste more than ever. We had selected several herbal medicines contained in functional drink, and investigated the mechanism in field of oriental medicine and pharmacology.

  • After the author of 'Luxinjing' explained the children's characters using the concept of Pure-Yang, the term has been widely exploited in the literature of Oriental pediatrics, Its meaning could be summed up in three general categories, namely: Shengyang(盛陽), Zhiyinzhiyang(稚陰稚陽) and Shaoyang(少陽). The implications of Pure-Yang were different in each dynasties of China. By the early Qing(淸) period, it meant mostly Shengyang(盛陽), but its meaning moved in the direction of Zhiyinzhiyang(稚陰稚陽) after Wu Jutong(吳鞠通). And this movement in the interpretation of this term was largely triggered by the pharmaceutical concerns of doctors as too much medicine of cooling and gastrointestinal effect was used to 'cool off' the over-charged Yang characters(盛陽) of children, causing considerable detrimental side effects to the children's body. The concept of Zhiyinzhiyang(稚陰稚陽) which emphasizes the fragility of children's body thus came in action. The meaning of physiological terms in Oriental Medicine is essentially linked to its clinical applications as we have seen in the case of Pure Yang. In that respect, the recent interpretation of Pure-Yang as Shaoyang(少陽) among physicians in China seems lacking in its crucial counterpart, which is its clinical applications. No theory can prove fruitful in the absence of its practice.

  • The Maasai community from Kenya is highly esteemed for their strong adherence to traditional cultures and ethno medicine. This is attributed to their age-old traditional mechanisms of passing down knowledge to the younger generation. Adoption to new socio-economic lifestyle and urbanization has been associated with development of diabetes, which has been reported among some indigenous pastoral communities in Kenya. Documentation of traditional methods of treatment and management of diabetes by the Maasai has not yet been reported, yet it is noteworthy. Thirty traditional healers from Narok County were purposively selected and interviewed about traditional knowledge of antidiabetic medicinal plants, parts used, preparation dosage and administration. A total of 14 antidiabetic plant species distributed within 13 genera and 12 families were identified and documented as herbal medicine used in the management of diabetes. The most highly cited plant species was Dovyalis abyssinica (20%), the plant family Flacourtiaceae and Rhamnaceae (2 plant species each) recorded the highest number of plant species while the most frequently used plant part was the roots (46%). Literature review revealed that some of the cited plants have known phytochemicals with antidiabetic activity; the study recommends further scientific investigation to validate their efficacy and safety.

  • This study is a bibliographic search about completion and maintenance of pregnancy. In oriental medicine, there is a proper temper and appearance that encourages optimal pregnancy. Invigoration of sperm is important for males to have descendants, and regulation of menstrual disturbances is necessary for female to have descendants. It is not good for both male and female to engage in sexual intercourse too often. Male and female shall have sexual intercourse. When they feel the connection, mind and body are sound, weather is fine, and they take position at ease. Previous studies on pregnancy describe minutely process of fetus's growth until the fifth month, and suggest the rules of fetus's health according to fetal development. Therefore, it is important to prevent acquiring diseases during pregnancy. Female needs to be careful and restful in the early stage of pregnancy. In the late period of pregnancy, she needs to be active.

  • This study aims to study the codes that can code the Sijo's emotional codes into AI and use them in literature therapy. In this study, we conducted emotional coding of the Sijo Crying Cuckoo at the Empty Mountain. As a result, the Emotion Codon was able to indicate the state of sadness catharsis. This implanting of the Sijo's emotional codes into Emotion Codon is like implanting human emotions into AI. If the basic emotion codes are implanted in the Emotion Codon and induced of AI's self-learning, We think AI can combine various emotions that occur in the human body. AI can then replace human emotions, which can be useful in treating of human emotions. It is believed that continuing this study will induce human emotions to heal the mind and spirit.

  • This study is one of the preparatory tasks for this researcher to do Emotion Coding on AI. This time, we're doing an Emotion Coding for Sijo "Blue Mountain is My Meaning" by Hwang Jin-yi. Huang Jin-yi is doing Emotion Coding on Blue Mountain and Green Stream in this Sijo. These Emotions code, as seen in Emotion Codon, as in UUU. This phenomenon can be described in the form in which this researcher hypothesized. In other words, this Emotion Coding acts as a catalyst for the formation of an amino acid called phenylalanine. If we continue this research, it is thought that the function of literature, which is more healing, will be utilized in the future of mankind.

  • The functional molecular weight of band 4.5 polypeptide was measured by applying the classical target theory to radiation inactivation data of the cytochalasin B binding. Band 4.5 polypeptides purified from human erythrocyte membranes were irradiated at -45 to $-50^{\circ}C$ with an increasing dose of 1.5 MeV electron beam, and after thawing, cytochalasin B binding activities were assayed. Each activity measured was reduced as a simple exponential function of radiation dose. $D_{37}$, dose appeared to be 6.7 mega rads, from which the target size (radiation sensitive mass) of band 4.5 polypeptide was calculated to be 95,500 daltons. This result with other informations available in literature suggests that band 4.5 polypeptide may exist as a dimer in human erythrocytes.

  • Moyamoya disease is characterized by the angiographic findings of bilateral occlusion of the distal portion of the internal carotid arteries with a vascular network at the base of the brain. The typical findings on conventional angiography and magnetic resonance imaging usually confirm the correct diagnosis of moyamoya disease. We experienced a 11-year-old girl with moyamoya disease showing repeated transient ischemic attacks and we report on this case with a review of the literature.

  • Always, emotion is mutant. This is principle of literary treatment. In the literature, sadness is not sadness, and 'loving emotion' is not 'loving emotion.' Despite loving of our, loving is sadness. Also loving is to cry. This crying becomes love. This study is to show the mutant emotion which is to be able to code Deep Learning AI. We explored the Sijo "Streams that cried last night", because this Sijo was useful to study mutant emotion. The result was that this Sijo was coding the mutant emotion. Almost continuously, the sadness codes were spawning and concentrating. So this Sijo was making the emotion of love with the sadness. If this study is continued, It is believed that our lives will be much happier. And the method of literary therapy will be able to more upgrade.
