In surgery the hemostatic control is very important for the parenchymatous organs. These organs consist of the fragile and the blood content tissues such as liver, spleen and kidney, etc.. One of the control methods to solve this problem is to insert the mono polar typed needle electrode, which gathers the thermal effect of microwave, directly into tissues so as to coagulate and stop the hemorrhage. This method has same advantages: First, the range of the heat energy is limited. Second, the coagulation, the hemostatic characteristic, and stability are excellent. Third, more convenient operation is possible. This paper is aimed to manufacture the microwave tissue coagulation system and to suggest the new direction for development, hereafter.

The poultry plays a crucial role in the animal industry, providing humans with efficient, high-quality animal protein. The rapid growth and short generational intervals of broilers offer significant benefits compared to other economic animals. This growth and increased muscle mass in modern commercial broilers result from advancements in breeding. However, the high productivity of contemporary broilers indicates they are approaching their physiological limits, with excessive fat accumulation becoming a significant industry issue. This not only reduces lean meat yield and feed efficiency but also negatively impacts consumers, especially due to problematic abdominal fat, which consumes more energy than lean meat production. Laying hens, reared for extended periods, maintain high productivity, producing a substantial number of eggs. This productivity in laying hens, akin to broilers, stems from genetic selection and breeding. For egg production, laying hens require physiological support for necessary nutrients. In this context, yolk fat accumulation is a critical physiological process. Lipoproteins, essential in avian lipid metabolism, are vital for yolk and body fat accumulation. Understanding these lipoproteins and their metabolism is key to developing healthier, more productive animals, offering economic benefits to farmers and improved nutritional quality to consumers. This review focuses on the physiological aspects of dietary fat transport, fatty acid biosynthesis in the liver, fat accumulation in the abdomen and muscles, and lipid deposition in egg yolks in chickens. It also highlights recent research trends in the regulation of fat metabolism in poultry.

According to the research, the Estern and Western medical literatural records about the causes and symptoms of the heart failure, the results as follows are concluded. 1. The asthma, suceptibility to fright and severe palpitation are generally revealed from the left heart failure. The causes of it are belong to the Yang and Yeum deficiency which are mainly caused by primordial energy deficiency. 2. The symtoms of asthma which are derived from left heart failure are related to the gasping that contain dyspnea, asthma due to the accumulation of phlegm and severe palpitation and related to shortness of breath due to fluid retention (水喘) that make asthma. 3. In the right heart failure, the edema which is derived from the congestion of vein, is revealed as stoppage of main channel that is mainly caused by the Yang or the Yeum deficiency. 4. The edema which is caused by the right heart failure, is mainly related to the symptoms of Yeum type edema, also it is related to the five viscera-fluid, moreover to the heart-fluid (心水), lung-fluid (肺水) and liver-fluid (肝水). 5. In heart failure, the pathologic symptoms which are derived from the stoppage of blood circulation, are phlegm-retention disease (痰飮), diffuse fluid-retention syndrom (溢飮), fluid-retention syndrome characterized by dyspnea and edema (支飮).

To investigate whether GyeongshinhaeGihwan 1(GGT1), an anti-obesity herbal medicine widely used in oriental medicine, regulates the expression of obesity-related genes, we measured the changes in mRNA levels of these genes by GGT1 in human growth hormone transgenic (hGHTg) obese male rats, and these effects by GGT1 were compared with those of reductil (RD), an anti-obesity drug approved by FDA. Rats received once daily oral administrations of autoclaved water, RD, or GGT1 for 8 weeks. At the end of study, rats were sacrificed and tissues were harvested. Total RNA from adipose tissue, liver and kidney was prepared and the mRNA levels for LPL (lipoprotein lipase), PPAR $\gamma$ (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma), PPAR$\delta$ (peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-delta), leptin, TNF$\alpha$ (tumor necrosis factor-alpha), and internal standard G3PDH (glyceraldehyde-3- phosphate dehydrogenase) were analyzed by RT-PCR. PPAR$\gamma$ mRNA levels of liver and kidney were decreased in drug-treated groups compared with control group and the decrease of PPAR$\gamma$ expression was more prominent in GGT1 group than in RD group, suggesting that GGT1 is effective in the inhibition of adipogenesis and lipid storage by decreasing the PPAR$\gamma$ expression. In contrast, PPAR$\delta$ mRNA levels of adipose tissue and kidney were increased by RD and GGT1 , and the magnitudes of increase were higher in GGT1 group than in RD group, indicating that GGT1 stimulates fatty acid oxidation and energy metabolism by activating PPAR$\delta$ expression, Compared with control and RD groups, GGT1 group had higher concentrations of serum leptin, a well-known inhibitor of appetite. However, The mRNA levels of leptin, LPL, and TNF$\alpha$ were not changed by GGT1 and RD, compared with DW. These results demonstrate that GGT1 not only decreases PPAR$\gamma$ expression of liver and kidney, but also increases PPAR$\delta$ expression of adipose tissue and kidney, leading to the regulation of obesity and that these effects were more pronounced in GGT1 group compared with RD group. In addition, GGT1 seems to prevent obesity by increasing the serum leptin levels.

본 연구는 투어마린 소재와 전기적인 방전을 통해 물의 성질을 변화시킨 투어마린이온활성수를 이용하여 간보호 효과, 비만 예방 효과, 숙취제거 효과를 확인하기 위해 시행되었다. 고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 ICR 마우스에서 투어마린이온활성수를 급이한 실험군은 정수물을 급이한 대조군과 비교하여 사료섭취량이 비슷하고 음수량이 더 적었지만 체중증가는 대조군에 비하여 억제되어 13주에는 유의한 차이를 보여줌으로써 비만 예방 효과를 나타내었다(P<0.05). 사염화탄소로 간독성을 유발시킨 생쥐를 이용하여 간보호 효과를 관찰한 실험에서, 실험군의 aspartate aminotransferase (AST)와 alanine aminotransferase (ALT)는 대조군과 비교하여 평균적인 차이를 나타내었으며, 간의 조직학적 관찰에서 괴사를 비롯한 병리학적 병변이 감소한 것으로 나타났다. S-D rats을 이용한 숙취 실험에서는 실험군이 대조군에 비해 혈중알콜농도가 유의하게 낮았으며(P<0.01), 알콜 대사와 관련된 항산화 효소인 glutathione-S transferase (GST)는 활성이 증가한 것으로 관찰되었고(P<0.05), 간기능 지표인 AST와 ALT는 상대적인 감소현상을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 투어마린이온활성수의 음용이 동물의 항산화 체계에 영향을 미침으로써 간조직을 보호하고 알콜 분해를 향상시킨 것으로 판단되며, 그 결과 숙취해소에 어느 정도 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 투어마린이온활성수의 효능과 관련된 기전은 아직 과학적 검증에 어려움이 있으나, 물에 전달된 투어마린의 원적외선에너지나 전기적 영향으로 인하여 물분자의 결합력과 분자 구조 또는 클러스터의 크기에 변화를 일으켰기 때문으로 판단된다. 사용된 투어마린이온활성수는 음용안전성이 확보된 물로서 효과적인 기능수로 개발될 가능성을 가지며, 유효성과 관련된 기전은 더 연구될 필요성이 있다.

All living things including human being consist of soul(spirit) and body. Soul is the root of a life and body frames it. I wrote this paper to tell how internal injury due to endogenous etiological factors and affection due to exegenous pathogenic factors, affect the internal organs and the external bodily from. This paper begins with description of the patterns of disharmony of the internal organs. General disorders of each Five-Jang(五藏) an be classified into two types of soul and body. The Liver and the Heart which lead changing to Yang(陽) of vital energy, have close relationship with spiritual symptoms because spirit is related to Yang. The Lung, Kidneys, the Spleen which lead changing to m(陰) of vital energy, mainly connected with physical disorders because body is relatively close to m. The Five-Jang are ruled by the Five-Phases(五行) system and cause troubles with Oche(五體) and the nine body orifice. Otherwise the main function of the Six-Bu(六府) is to receive food, absorb the usuable portions, and transmit and excrete waste. Therefore they can cause such problems as abdominal pain, distention, difficulty in urination, and constipation. The spleen is responsible for sending Grain-Ki)穀氣) 내 that is closely connected with the six-Bu. The Gall bladder takes care of control of giving out spirit. That's why it presents many symptoms related to the spirit that is ruled by the Five-Jang. Patterns of disharmony of external bodily form is influenced by the state of Maridians. Bodily forms get divided into many parts by the function of six-meridians(六經) to which they belong. Six-meridians have their own function related to excretion, related to excretion, retention, and balance(開闔樞). If local bodily froms get affected by pernicious influences, the Meridians to which they are attached will lose harmony and connot fulfil their own functions. Because the meridian symtem unifies all parts of the body, the whole body will be under the influence of the affection although local parts of the bodily forms get affected. Therefore the symptoms of disharmony should be considered in a synthetic view. There are however, also cases which should be focused on the very meridian channels affected. Disorder within a Meridian generates derangement in the pathway make it not to benefit the muscles and skin belong to it. Because the meridians connect the interior organs with the exterior bodily form, they are influenced by each other.

Objectives: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity impulsivity that interferes with function or development in children. In traditional Korean medicine (TKM) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), ADHD is classified by several patterns based on symptoms and signs. However, currently, there is no objective diagnostic tool for ADHD in traditional medicine. The objective of this study was to develop the Pattern Identification Questionnaire for ADHD (parents-survey style) to be used in Korean medicine, through a literature review and consultation with groups of experts. Methods: The types of pattern identifications of ADHD mentioned in 13 pieces of Korean and Chinese literatures and their symptoms and signs were analyzed. The advisory committee (15 Neuropsychiatrist and 11 Pediatrist in Korean Medicine) assessed the appropriateness of the literature selection and the types of pattern identification selection and their symptoms and signs, and weighed the significance of the symptoms and signs. The Pattern Identification Questionnaire for ADHD was developed using the calculated weights by evaluated significance. The translation of symptoms and signs to the Korean language was achieved through consultation with expert translators. Results: 1. Four pattern identification types and their symptoms and signs were selected according to frequency of appearance in the Korean and Chinese literatures, and were reviewed by the advisory committee: Kidney yin deficiency and liver yang ascendant hyperactivity (腎虛肝亢), Dual deficiencies in the heart and spleen (心脾兩虛), Phlegm-fire harassing the heart (痰火擾心), and Spleen weakness and liver energy preponderance (脾虛肝旺). 2. The weights of all the symptoms and signs in the four patterns were calculated using the means and standard deviations of the symptoms and signs' importance that were obtained from specialists' significance weighting. 3. The Pattern Identification Questionnaire for ADHD (parents-survey style) in Korean medicine composed of 38 questions was suggested. Conclusions: Using a review of the literature and expert advice, Pattern Identification Questionnaire for ADHD (parents-survey style) in Korean medicine was developed. Further clinical study is required to develop a final version of the questionnaire through the evaluation of reliability and validity.

Dam-eum(痰飮) is peculiar pathological product which is caused by functional difficulty in human fluid replacement and that principally originated functional difficulty between Lung(肺), Spleen(脾), Kidney(腎) and Sam-Cho(三焦). Dam-eum(痰飮) comes into force to disorder about ascending, decending, in and out of human energy circulation and frequently raises functional difficulty in human fluid replacement. As a result of that, it has much effect on action of Spirit(神志). After literatual study on the effect of Dam-eum(痰飮) on Spirit(神志), the result were obtained as follows : Dam-eum is not affecting to Spirit by itself. When Dam-eum is Positive Symptom(實證), Yang Symptom(陽證), mainly it affects to Spirit with Pung(風), Hwa(火), Kyung(驚), Youl(熱). And when it is Negative Symptom(虛症), it mostly affects with 脾胃虛寒, 心血不足. Dam-eum is a factor of causing disharmony between Heart & Kidney(心腎), Heart & Liver(心肝), Stomach & Gall Bladder Line(胃膽經) by 痰迷心竅, 痰火擾心. So it brings out troubles of fluid replacement. These are the main circumstances of affecting Spirit. To cure Disease of Spirit(神志病), which is caused by Dam-eum, there are not only uses the treatment of 理痰氣, 豁痰開竅. There are two treatments to use together. The first treatment is 淸熱, 定驚, 息風, 淸心 that removes fitted toxin. And the other treatment is that keeps the balance of Internal Organs.
