1. Purpose This study is intended to catch the expasion of theory of Sasang Constitutional Medicine through comparision DongyiSooseBowon Chopanbon with DongyiSooseBowon Chobonguen and DongyiSooseBowon Gabobon. 2. Method I compared the Soyangin's prescription and medications of DongyiSooseBowon Chopanbon with those of DongyiSooseBowon Chobonguen and Dongyisoosebowon Gabobon. 3. Result and conclusion 1) Soyangin's Medications of the same kind in Chobonguen's prescriptions and Gabobon's and Chopann's are thirty-two; like Bangpoong(防風), Hyeunggye(荊芥), Sangjihwang(生地黃), sukgo(石膏), etc. And these medications are the principle in Soyangin's disease. 2) Soyangin's Prescriptions of the same name in Chobonguen's prescriptions and Gabobon's and Chopanbon's are Yangdokbackhotang(陽毒白虎湯). Chopanbon's Yangdokbackhotang(陽毒白虎湯) is more rational and effective prescription. 3) Soyangin's Prescriptions of the same name in Chobonguen's prescriptions and Gabobon's are eleven; Bangpoongtongseungsan(防風通聖散), chengumdojuksan(千金導赤散), etc. These prescriptions are similar in the structure. 4) Soyangin's Prescriptions of the same name in Gabobon's prescriptions and Chopanbon's are five; Hyungbangpaedoksan(荊防敗毒散), Yangdokbackhotang(陽毒白虎湯). etc. These Prescriptions make a change in the structure from Gabobon's to Chopanbon's. As this we know that Dongmu(東武) selected Sasang Constitutional prescription and medication in detail as he has the more experience of treatment.

Objective: South Korea made a list of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) for elderly patients in 2015 and has prompted medical professionals to prescribe proper medication by using the drug utilization review (DUR) system. It has been three years since the system was introduced, but related studies have rarely been conducted. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the DUR system on the prescription of PIMs for elderly patients. Methods: The data on the prescription of PIMs for elderly patients (${\geq}65$ years) who received medical treatment between March 1st and May 31st in 2015 (before introduction of the DUR system) and who received medical treatment between March 1st and May 31st in 2018 (after introduction of the DUR system) were retrospectively collected from electronic medical records. Results: The prescriptions of PIMs decreased from 3,716 (7.7%) to 3,857 (6.9%) (p < 0.001). The prescription of escitalopram and paroxetine, among selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, increased significantly, and that of short-acting benzodiazepines also increased significantly from 454 (0.93%) to 624 (1.2%). Conclusion: Prescription of PIMs for elderly patients significantly decreased (p < 0.001) after the DUR system was introduced. Further expanded studies of PIMs need to be conducted for the safety of elderly patients.

Dementia is a clinical syndrome characterized by a cluster of symptoms and signs that manifest as difficulties in cognitive functions such as memory, psychological and psychiatric changes, and impairments in activities of daily living. As a result of worldwide trends of population aging, dementia has had a huge impact on public health in almost all countries. Disease modification therapies for dementia have not yet been developed. However, pharmacotherapy is essential in patients with dementia to combat delays in their cognitive and functional decline. In this article, we review the current pharmacotherapy for dementia. Three acetylcholinesterase inhibitors-donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine-and memantine are the only medications that have been approved for the treatment of dementia. We present the indications, dose recommendations, side effects, and criteria for National Health Insurance coverage in Korea of these medications for dementia treatment. Although the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in Korea has not approved any medications for managing the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, some antipsychotics and antidepressants have been studied and used clinically for those purposes. Clinicians may consider vitamin E, Ginkgo biloba extract, choline alfoscerate, or omega-3 fatty acids as additional treatment options. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, estrogen hormone therapy, and statins are not generally recommended for dementia treatment. We believe that our findings will aid clinicians in the treatment of patients with cognitive decline.

Objectives: Patients with excessive tooth wear should first be diagnosed for the etiology of the tooth wear. Causes of tooth wear include bruxism, clenching, and taking medications for systemic diseases. After identifying the cause of tooth attrition, the final prosthesis should be restored with an appropriate vertical dimension. Methods: A 79-year-old man with worn out teeth desired a whole dental treatment. He was on medications for high blood pressure and asthma. The treatment proceeded with a consultation with a medical doctor. The medications for asthma evoked multiple teeth wear and a loss of the vertical dimension. After recovery of 3 mm of vertical dimension, 2 months of evaluation was followed by an interim prosthesis. Results: The increased vertical dimension caused no problem in function and esthetics, and the final restoration was performed with a full monolithic zirconia crown. Group function, adequate anterior guidance, and the occlusal plane were determined. Conclusions: After the final restoration, the patient was both esthetically and functionally satisfied, and a night guard splint was delivered to prevent prosthesis fracture. The patient was informed about the potential tooth wear associated with asthma drugs and educated to visit the clinic regularly.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the persistence and adherence to secondary preventive medication of stroke patients after discharge and to assess the reasons for persistence and nonadherence. Methods: Four hundred twenty-nine patients with stroke were surveyed to determine their behaviors from discharge. Reasons for stopping medications were ascertained. Persistence was defined as continuation of all secondary preventive medications prescribed at hospital discharge, and adherence as continuation of prescribed medications according to health care provider instructions. Results: Of the 429 patients, 86.5% were treatment persistent and 41.2%(non-intentional nonadherence=39.4%, intentional nonadherence=19.4%) were adherent. Independent predictors of persistence included having experience about health education. Independent predictors of non-intentional nonadherence were modified Rankin Scale(mRS) (Exp(B)=2.858, p=0.001) and health education experience (Exp(B)=0.472, p=0.032), and independent predictors of intentional nonadherence were mRS (Exp(B)=2.533, p=0.006), depressive symptoms (Exp(B)=1.113, p=0.016), beliefs about medications questionnaire(necessity, Exp(B)=0.879, p=0.011, concern, Exp(B)=1.098, p=0.019). Conclusions: Although up to one-ninth of stroke patients continued secondary prevention medications, nonadherence is common. Several potentially modifiable patient, provider, and system-level factors associated with persistence and adherence may be targets for future interventions. Specially, interventions to improve adherence should target patients' beliefs about their medication.

The monitoring was performed to survey the mortalities and medications occurred in the inland aquaculture farms of olive flounder in South Korea from May to October, 2012. Both of the indirect inquiry for entire inland farms and the sample survey for selected farms were carried out. The aquatic organism disease inspectors, who have the national licenses for the diagnosis and prevention of aquatic organism diseases and have close relationship with the farms, investigated the rates and causes of mortalities according to the standard manual. The cumulative mortalities rate by the indirect inquiry on 565 farms, was calculated to 27.18%, and the mortalities rate by infectious diseases was 22.64%. Otherwise, the mortalities rate by sample survey on 60 farms was 25.50%, 19.33% of them were caused by infectious diseases. The high mortality rates were recorded by scuticociliatosis, non-infectious loss, streptococcosis, VHS, artificial eliminations, vibriosis and gliding bacterial disease. Streptococcosis and non-infectious mortality caused to serious loss in productivity and economy of the farms, because of their outbreaks in the flounder groups over 600 g. The monitoring of medications in the selected farms revealed that formalin for the treatment of external parasites, such as scuticociliates, was the most commonly used drugs in the farms. As the antibiotic medications, amoxicillin and florfenicol for streptococcosis, and oxytetracycline and neomycin expecting wide antibacterial spectrum, were frequently prescribed.

Individuals with visual impairments face difficulties in accessing accurate information about medical services and medications, making it challenging for them to ensure proper medication intake. While there are healthcare laws addressing this issue, there is a lack of standardized solutions, and not all over-the-counter medications are covered. Therefore, we have undertaken the design of a mobile application that utilizes image recognition technology, barcode scanning, and QR code recognition to provide guidance on how to take over-the-counter medications, filling the existing gaps in the knowledge of visually impaired individuals. Currently available applications for individuals with visual impairments allow them to access information about medications. However, they still require the user to remember which specific medication they are taking, posing a significant challenge. In this research, we are optimizing the camera capture environment, user interface (UI), and user experience (UX) screens for image recognition, ensuring greater accessibility and convenience for visually impaired individuals. By implementing the findings from our research into the application, we aim to assist visually impaired individuals in acquiring the correct methods for taking over-the-counter medications.

Purpose: This study aimed at evaluating the therapeutic outcome, cost effectiveness and recurrence rate in children with H. pylori infection after the treatment using various medications. Methods: Seventy five children (mean age $11.4{\pm}2.5$ years) were given an endoscopy with biopsy and H. pylori status assessed by CLO test and histologic examination (Warthin Starry stain). Children were given one of following medications such as DA ($Denol^{(R)}$ and amoxycillin), OA (omeprazole and amoxycillin), DC ($Denol^{(R)}$ and clarithromycin) as primary treatment. And one of following medications such as DAM ($Denol^{(R)}$, amoxycillin and metronidazole), DC, OA, OC (omeprazole and clarithromycin) were used in children who failed the eradication of H. pylori. Results: The endoscopic diagnoses were: nodular gastritis (46 cases), gastric ulcer (9), duodenal ulcer (6), superficial gastritis (6), and normal (8). H. pylori eradication rate was 91% (63 of 69 children) on 4 weeks course of DA, 50% (1 of 2 cases who had treatment failure on DA) on DAM, and 75% (3 of 4 cases who treated on DC primarily) and 50% (1 of 2 cases who had treatment failure on DA) on DC, and 100% on OA (all of 2) and on OC (all of 1 who failed on DA). In 3 of 7 children in whom H. pylori had not been eradicated by primary medications (DA 6 and DC 1 case), H. pylori was re-eradicated by secondary medications (DA 1, DAM 1 and DC 1 case). But in remaining 4 cases, H. pylori infection persisted. Reinfection of H. pylori was found in 4 of 75 children between 3 months and 3 years after completion of the treatment of DA, yielding recurrence rate of 5.3%. In 2 of 4 cases who had relapsed, H. pylori was re-eradicated by secondary medications (OC 1 and DA 1 case). But in remaining 2 cases, H. pylori infection persisted. Conclusion: These results suggest that dual therapy with $Denol^{(R)}$ and amoxycillin is the effective medications in treating H. pylori infection in children. Concerning the cost effectiveness, it can be recommended as first line treatment of choice as well.
