This is a fundamental study for bibliometric analysis investigating the general, research, copyright activities and cited literature related to the field of Oriental Medicine, The data used for this study included theses published by the Journal of Korean Oriental Medicine Society over a period of nine years, from 1990 to 1998, We investigated the productivity of national authors, distribution of cited literature and subject analysis about Oriental Medicine and its authors quantitatively, So we were able to reach several conclusions: 1. The rule of Lotka is applied considerably to analyze the productivity of authors in the field of Oriental Medicine, When it comes to the analysis of national authors it was found that most authors in this field of study published 2 to 10 volumes, likewise other studies. And the rate of co-authorships was high, because most surveys are clinical. 2. When it comes to distribution of cited literatures, independent volumes were cited more than journals. This represents that the citing style of Oriental Medicine has a tendency to follow the methodology of historical research. 3. Scholars in the field of Oriental Medicine mainly tend to cite self-subjects among cited literatures. After analysing self-subjects in this field, the result is that the order of frequency used as cited literatures is as follows: Internal Medicine, Herbology and Oriental Prescription, Acupuncture & Moxibustion. Acupuncture point, and subjects with the circulatory system diseases were mainly cited as far as subordinary subjects of Internal Medicine.

Woodfordia fruticosa Kurz (Lythraceae) is used in the treatment of various ailments in traditional medicines. DPPH activity guided fractionation and purification process was used to identify the free radical-scavenging components from the flowers of this plant. The methanolic extract of the plant was first fractionated into four extracts; namely, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and water fractions. Among them, the ethyl acetate fraction was found to be the most effective and was further subjected to activity guided-fractionation and isolation procedures. After successive column chromatography on silica gel and Sephadex LH-20, gallic acid, which is responsible for the radical scavenging activity, was isolated and its structure was elucidated by spectral methods ($^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR) and by comparison with literature.

Primary carcinoma of the fallopian tube is exceedingly rare, accounting for 0.3 percent of female genital tract cancer. It is usually unilateral, but 20 percent of cases are bilateral. It occurs most commonly in women between 40 and 60 years old. Approximately 50 percent of the patients are nulliparous. Because of variable presenting symptoms and rarely incidence, preoperative diagnosis of fallopian tube carcinoma is seldom made. Evaluation and treatment are also essentially the same at that of ovarian carcinoma. We experienced a case of bilateral primary fallopian tube carcinoma in women presented with vaginal bleeding and pelvic mass, postoperatively pathologic examination of resected specimen after laparatomy and reported with brief review of literature.

Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis, popularly referred to as Fahr's disease, is a disorder radiologically characterized by bilateral calcifications of the basal ganglia, thalami, dentate nuclei of the cerebellum, and the white matter of the cerebral hemisphere without serum calcium-phosphorus metabolism and related endocrinologic abnormalities. Intracranial calcifications are easily visible as high-density on CT. On magnetic resonance images, the calcifications exhibit different signal intensities. The differences in signal intensity are thought to be related to the stage of the disease, differences in calcium metabolism, and the volume of the calcium deposit. Based on literature review, I report the case of a 63 year man with bilateral symmetrical calcification in the basal ganglia, dentate nuclei of the cerebellum, and the white matter of the cerebral hemisphere who present a 5 year history of progressive dysarthria associated with left thalamic infarction.

The objective of this study was to investigate the diagnosis and treatment of Raynaud disease such as syndrome differentiation and herbal medicine by reviewing Chinese traditional medicine's journals. The journal search was carried out using China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) and PubMed from January 2008 to August 2013. Searching key words were the various combination of "Raynaud disease", "traditional chinese medicine", "syndrome differentiation", "herbal medicine". The final selection of 38 studies were selected and summarized by researchers. The syndrome differentiation was classified as yang deficiency and cold syncope, qi stagnation and blood stasis. The most frequently prescribed herbal medication was Dangguisinitang.

Metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR)-dependent long-term depression (LTD), a type of synaptic plasticity, is characterized by a reduction in the synaptic response, mainly at the excitatory synapses of the neurons. The hippocampus and the cerebellum have been the most extensively studied regions in mGluR-dependent LTD, and Group 1 mGluR has been reported to be mainly involved in this synaptic LTD at excitatory synapses. However, mGluR-dependent LTD in other brain regions may be involved in the specific behaviors or diseases. In this paper, we focus on five cortical regions and review the literature that implicates their contribution to the pathogenesis of several behaviors and specific conditions associated with mGluR-dependent LTD.

The effects on birch (Betula spp.) of elevated carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and ozone ($O_3$), which are both increasing in the troposphere, are surveyed in detail based on the literature. Birches establish themselves in the open field after disturbances, and then become dominant trees in temperate or boreal forests. Ecophysiological approaches include the measurement of photosynthesis, biomass, growth, and survival of seedlings and trees. Elevated $CO_2$ levels give rise to a net enhancement of the growth of birch trees, whereas high $O_3$ generally reduces growth. Although the effects of the two are opposed, there is also an interactive effect. Basic physiological responses of the single genus Betula to $CO_2$ and $O_3$ are set out, and some data are summarized regarding ecological interactions between trees, or between trees and other organisms.

Sul-um is relative with verbal disturbance of central nervous disease and Hu-um is relative with verbal disturbance of peripheral nervous disease in modern medicine. The Aphasia of Children was classified two concept which is innate and acquirement Aphasia according to production cause. The Aphasia of children has the most close relation with the kidney and heart in the five zang-organ.

Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare neoplasm that arise from soft tissue of the perineum and usually affects young woman. It has a high risk of local recurrence due to infiltrative lesion. This tumor should be distinguished from benign and malignant tumor or tumor like lesion of the perineum. We experienced a case of an aggressive angiomyxoma on soft tissue of the vaginal wall in 43-year-old woman and reported it with a brief review of literature.

This study was carried out to investigate the dose of prescription in Shanghanlun. To this end, literature research and a survey of several herbal medicines have been done. As a result, the weight of 1 liang (兩) is determined to be about 15g. Furthermore, we find that Jung-Kyung Jang, who compiled Shang-hanlun, used a great quantity of herbal medicines to treat critical conditions of iIInesses. Therefore application of Shang-hanIun s prescriptions according to the various conditions of patients must have changed the quantity of dosage.
