Erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability to attain and maintain penile rigidity sufficient to allow sexual intercourse. Although erectile dysfunction is usually considered a benign disorder, it has a dramatic impact on quality of life of the patients as well as their sexual partners. And it is common in men between the age of 40 and 70 years, and its incidence increases with age. The prevalence is reported to occupy 10% at the age of 40 years, 20% in 50s, 30% in 60s and 50% at the age of 70 years, and is more prevalent as stress in modern life and interest onsexual behavior increase. This article has aims to investigate and summarize the current trend of treatment for erectiledysfunction so as to suggest the effective and available way to treat the disease. In oriental medicine, erectile dysfunction has been treated with herb medicine and acupuncture with good results. Some of herb drugs have the substances which induce penile erection. So it should be investigated on the neurotransmitter or endothelial mediator which can be included in herb drugs. The acupuncture therapy stimulates the erectile nerves and is reported to be effective for erectile dysfunction. And suppository, locus injection therapy and topical agent are found to be effective as well as stellate ganglion block and biofeedback treatment. So the study on the approach and application of these treatments on erectile dysfunction would be necessary.

Though modern medicine has taken rapid strides, varieties of intractable maladies and diseases go on increasing more and more. And so medical technologies and academic achievements related to diagnoses and prognoses are being carried on. As the progress of genetics, all sorts of diseases have proved to be hereditary. This makes efficient use of the prevention of diseases. According to Sasang-Constitution medicine, each person inherently possesses a unique constitution different from that of any other person. The shapes and sizes, temperaments and characters of people have enormous variations that must affect our health and happiness. Without understanding our particular constitution, we must fall into poor health and disease. The food and exercise that are good for one person's constitution may not be good for another. No standardized medicine can adequately deal with our individual variations. Only a system that can discern our different constitutional types has this capacity. This paper is to study Life-Regulating Science that has taken firm root in our culture from time immemorial, so that I suggest the methods of diagnoses and prognoses by using Life-Regulating Science. In the medical texts, psychological imbalances of Eum-Yang and Five Phases generate all kinds of diseases. Accordingly visceral manifestation and diseases as a future possibility may be known by the Four Pillars.

People are willing to spend more for their health. Traditional medical services are hospital-centric and patients obtain their treatments mainly at the clinics or hospitals. As people age, more medical services are needed to exceed the potentials of this hospital-centric service model. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of CardioSentinal, a 24-hour heart care and monitoring system. CardioSentinal is designed for in-home and daily medical services. It mainly focuses on the outpatients and elderly. CardioSentinal is an interdisciplinary system that integrates recent advances in many fields such as bio-sensors, small-range wireless communications, pervasive computing, cellular networks and modern data centers. We conducted numerous clinic trials for CardioSentinal. Experimental results show that the sensitivity and accuracy are quite high. It is not as good as the professional measurements in hospital due to harsh environments but the system provides valuable information for heart diseases with low-cost and extreme convenience. Some early experiences and lessons in the work will also be reported.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the external application of paste preparation recorded in the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty (朝鮮王朝實錄) and to clarify the significance of modern use of plaster therapy. Methods: Of many paste preparations, records of All-applying ointment (萬應膏), One-great ointment (太一膏), Pain-relieving plaster (救苦膏), and Pus-promoting powder (促膿膏) were especially examined from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty. Other medical records regarding how these preparations were passed onto later generations were also studied. Results: According to the records from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty, paste preparations were mainly used to cure abscess and sore, partly to treat pain diseases. From other medical documents, it could be found that these preparations were continuously used in subsequent eras. Conclusions: From these records, the level and features of Chosun Dynasty medicine could be speculated. It is necessary to find and restore effective paste preparations in Traditional Korean Medicine to use for treating disease today. Therefore, records from the Annals of the Chosun Dynasty are important and meaningful materials.

Malignant triton tumor(MTT) is a rare type of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor(MPNST) with focal rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. MTT constitutes about 5% of all MPNSTs and described the first case of a MTT in a patient with Von Recklinghausen disease by Masson in 1932. MTT is commonly seen in the head, neck, extremities and trunk. It can occur in sporadic form or over a setting of neurofibromatosis-1(NF-1). The diagnosis can be confirmed based on morphologic grounds supported by an immunostain such as S-100 protein. Desmin, myo-D1 and myogenin are immunostains positive for rhabdomyoblasts. MTT has an aggressive biological behavior so prognosis of this rare and highly malignant tumor is poor and optimal treatment remains unclear. But modern treatment consisted of radical excision and postoperative radiotherapy has improved the prognosis of such cases.

Objectives: There have been no specific as well as evidence-based physical activity guidelines issued on the governmental level. There just have been physical activity recommendations and guidelines released from governmental agencies or organizations as well as individual researchers and these are not consistent, thereby giving the public and even some professionals quite a confusion. As such, this study was aimed to suggest key factors to include when issuing national physical activity recommendations for Koreans. Methods: Since chronological evolution of modern physical activity recommendations reflects key factors to consider when establishing those recommendations and guidelines, that released for several decades was reviewed. Results: The evolution was found to be based on the basis of strong evidence from both epidemiological and exercise physiology studies and the key concepts of such evolution were feasibility, efficacy, and safety. Conclusion: On the basis of three key factors found in the review process, this study concluded that the upcoming national physical activity guidelines should include the following to maximize the outcomes of the efforts which have long been put by the division of physical activity under the 'New Health Plan 2010'. First, guidelines for achieving health benefits (ie, preventing chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancers or weight management) as well as improving cardiorespiratory fitness should be included to enhance efficacy. Second, safety measures should be included to enhance safety. Third, various alternative forms of physical activity should be included to enhance feasibility.
