Objectives : Introduction to Medicine(醫學入門, Yixuerumen) is one of the basic clinical texts in Korean medical history. This study is designed to prove clinical value of Introduction to Medicine for practitioners in their early stage of clinical practice. Methods : Introduction to Medicine is closely reviewed in various aspects in order to examine broad outlines of specificity as well as its distinctive constructional feature. Results : Since Introduction to Medicine showed peculiar intention of developing practitioner's clinical ability, it has been a preferential choice for Korean medicine practitioners to enhance their qualification at the early stage of one's career in Korean history. It is still valid for modern practitioners because composite medical texts are needed in order to systematize one's fragmental knowledge acquired from institutional education. Conclusions : Introduction to Medicine shows a large potential as a clinical textbook in the course of maximizing one's clinical ability with its aid. Through understanding multilateral aspects of clinical guidelines and directions engraved in Introduction to Medicine, learners will be able to derive full capacity from the text.

Objective : The purpose of this study is exploring value of Shanghanlun six diagnostic system as Narrative Medicine by analyzing cases. Methods : In the article, we examined the theory of narrative medicine and current studies. And then key elements of narrative medicine was defined. On the basis of these, two medical cases were analyzed by reordering in accordance with time sequences and causality for confirming narrative factors. Results : The narrative approach to analyzing cases shows us that different diseases could be the result of same pathological patterns based on Shanghanlun. This tells us following four aspects. [1] Shanghanlun is the causes-oriented records and the text includes narrative factors. [2] Shanghanlun six diagnostic system is a process of constructing plot of medical case history through the clinical interpretation of contextual meaning of patient's life. [3] In the process of diagnosis, Schemata and script are engaged in assuming and confirming six patterns diseases. [4] The subjective factors of an individual can be applied universally through the provision of Shanghanlun. Conclusions : Narrative factors of Shanghanlun six diagnostic system suggest the possibility and value of Shanghan Medicine as Narrative Medicine in terms of Medical Humanities, essence of medical diagnosis and therapeutic action.

${\ulcorner}$Sanghanlonju Taeyangpyun(傷寒論注 太陽篇)${\lrcorner}$ is a part of ${\ulcorner}$Uijonggumgam(醫宗金鑑)${\lrcorner}$, ${\ulcorner}$Ui jong gum gam${\lrcorner}$ is a voluminous medical book. That was complied by O gyum(吳謙) who was a chief of Taeuiwon(太醫院). In this paper, I speculated O gyum's annotations and compared other annotations in some parts, needed a comparing. O gyum's academic features, appeared in ${\ulcorner}$Sanghanlon ju Taeyangpyun${\lrcorner}$ are as follow. O gyum understood the Taeyang(太陽) as a meaning of Gyounglak(經絡), and explained that the Taeyang part disease arose from a pathologic course of Banggwanggyong(膀胱經). He maintained The Samgangjeonglip(三綱鼎立) theory and restructrured the text order in his own way. He fixed the contents of ${\ulcorner}$Sanghanlon(傷寒論)${\lrcorner}$ to accommodate his medical view. And then he compared and distinguished similar diseases or prescriptions necessary to division clinically. And then about issues of long standing in study of San han lon, he showed his own opinions. Finally, remarking many other commentator's theory, he tried to understand Taeyangpyun(太陽篇).

Eoyakwonbang is a collection of prescriptions of Yuyaoyuan, an imperial medical bureau of China. While the first edition of this book does not exist at present, two versions printed in Korea, and one printed in Japan, which is the well-known Gyesasingan Eoyakwonbang have been passed down. Eoyakwonbang is a meaningful text for the history of medical communication between China, Japan and Korea, but research on the different versions and contents of Eoyakwonbang have been insufficient. Out of the 2 versions published in Korea, Eulheja Eoyakwonbang is different from Gapjinja Eoyakwonbang [another version in Korea] and Gwanjeong Eoyakwonbang of Japan, in that the prescriptions are organized, the ingredients are organized according to the amount of each ingredient for each formula, and the amounts are recorded in an accurate manner. On the other hand, the Gapjinja version has many mistakes in the characters and content. The Gwanjeong version has lesser mistakes in characters, but repeats the content error of the Gapjinja version. Eulheja was printed after correction based on the original version or unknown version from China. Gapjinja was re-printed based on the Gyesasingan version, while Gwanjeong seems to have used the Gapjinja version as its original script, as the mistakes made in the Gapjinja version are repeated in the Gwanjeong version as well.

The purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis that some early Chinese meridians were described by haptic exploration of the arterial pulse. The method is as follows: First, the relevant passages of the Mawangdui medical texts, the oldest meridian monographs, are translated based on perceptual anatomy. Second, the pulse is haptically searched for in the palm, lower arm, upper arm, armpit, and torso of the human body. Finally, their locations are compared with the translation. As a result, It was confirmed that the pulse locations detected on the body were mostly consistent with the routes of the meridians described in the texts. So meridians were haptically detectable pulse routes. What is known today as the flow direction of hand-yin meridians is actually the direction of searching the pulse. Our result runs counter to Huang Longxiang's claim that the route of the meridians are virtual routes set by speculation. Our findings also dispute Vivien Shaw's claim that the meridians of Mawangdui medical texts were discovered by anatomical dissection. They also refute the claim that meridians were discovered by the extrasensory perception of the inner sight (內觀) and the subjective experience of the meridian sensitive person. The hand-yin meridians of Mawangdui medical texts are well described so that anyone can find them by touching them with their fingers.

Objective : The COVID-19 pandemic has brought non-face-to-face healthcare service delivery system. Research into telehealth system and its efficacy remains unclear. Methods : Seven healthy adults participated in this study to investigate effects of tele-monitoring with the speech-to-text (STT) application to induce changes in occupational activities on occupational balance in healthy adults. Subjects were requested to choose occupational activities they wanted to have researched and then register them to the STT application. The STT application provided an alarm to check whether the pre-registered activities were performed on time, and whether the subjects performed it by their voice. The subjects were followed for 1 week, with assessments at baseline, and after 1-week's tele-monitoring. Results : Our findings showed that the subjects were willing to participate in tele-monitoring with the STT application with high adherence and satisfaction. In addition, there was a significant improvement in occupational activities related to health (p<.05). Specifically, adherence, satisfaction, and efficacy of the tele-monitoring with the STT application could successfully bring occupational balance in short-term periods. Conclusion : These findings highlight that tele-monitoring with a smartphone could be considered as one promising way to restore occupational balance in lockdown after the COVID-19 outbreak.

${\text\tiny{D}}-Allose$ is a potential medical sugar because it has anticancer, antihypertensive, antiinflammatory, antioxidative, and immunosuppressant activities. Allose production from fructose as a cheap substrate was performed by a one-pot reaction using Flavonifractor plautii ${\text\tiny{D}}-allulose$ 3-epimerase (FP-DAE) and Clostridium thermocellum ribose 5-phosphate isomerase (CT-RPI). The optimal reaction conditions for allose production were pH 7.5, $60^{\circ}C$, 0.1 g/l FP-DAE, 12 g/l CT-RPI, and 600 g/l fructose in the presence of 1 mM $Co^{2+}$. Under these optimized conditions, FP-DAE and CT-RPI produced 79 g/l allose for 2 h, with a conversion yield of 13%. This is the first biotransformation of fructose to allose by a two-enzyme system. The production of allose by a one-pot reaction using FP-DAE and CT-RPI was 1.3-fold higher than that by a two-step reaction using the two enzymes.

Objective : The current wuiwan poses a challenge in understanding related disease because one term refers to many different parts. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to review historical documents and define the areas of wuiwan revolving around the wuiwan-related disease. Method : The Sikuquanshu database, Traditional Chinese Medical(TCM) books webdatabase were studied, and selections were made from the texts that discussed wuiwan. Result & Conclusion : The term wuiwan is used to refer to stomach's capacity. The word wuiwan is first discovered in Neijing. wuiwan-related disease as shown in Neijing does not move beyond the scope of stomach. The view of seeing wuiwan as part of esophagus is discovered in the text which explains dysphagia, and it is believed that this expression was used in the purpose of pointing the airway and the esphagus. Therefore, the reason wuiwan was viwed as esophagus has to be confined within the texts in documents that explain dysphagia or within the Four-Constitution Medicine. Generally, it is more reasonable to see wuiwan within the scope of stomach.

${\ulcorner}$Hwangje-Naegyeong (黃帝內經)${\lrcorner}$ is a source of all Korean traditional medical theories. Despite the importance of ${\ulcorner}$Hwangje-Naegyeong (黃帝內經)${\lrcorner}$, it is difficult to read and fully understand the contents because it is written in archaic language and many contents were missed now. Zhu dan Xi(朱丹溪, 1282-1358) is one of the most well-known four doctors in Jin-Yuan Dynasty(金元四大家). He insisted that ${\ulcorner}$Su-wen (素問)${\lrcorner}$ is the most important text book of traditional medical science, and established his medical theories based on it. This study has two objectives. One is to establish a base for comprehension and application of information contained in ${\ulcorner}$Su-wen (素問)${\lrcorner}$, and the other is to understand the medical theories developed by Zhu dan Xi(朱丹溪). Number of quotes related with ${\ulcorner}$Hwangje-Naegyeong (黃帝內經)${\lrcorner}$ in the eight books by Zhu dan Xi(朱丹溪) and his followers were extracted for my study.
