Purpose : This study investigated reliability of Oriental DB & GY(obstetrics & gynecology) Questionnaires's items which was used by Dong-Eui OB & GY through analysis of oriental OB & GY books. Method : This study investigated differentiation of syndrome through analysis of oriental OB & GY book's. Result: This study investigated differentiation of syndrome through analysis of oriental OB & GY disease and pathogenesis. This study's pathogenesis was such that deficiency of Ki, deficiency of blood, stagnation of Ki, stagnated blood, deficiency of Yang, deficiency of Um, cold syndrome, heat syndrome, dampness, dryness, phlegm, kidney, liver, heart, spleen, wind, lung. We except lung from Questionnaires's pathogenesis because it is stuck for importance. We except wind from Questionnaires's pathogenesis because it is stuck for preguence. Oriental OB & GY Questionnaires's pathogenesis consist of 15 items such that deficiency of Ki, deficiency of blood, stagnation of Ki, stagnated blood, deficiency of Yang, deficiency of Um, cold syndrome, heat syndrome, dampness, dryness, phlegm, kidney, liver, heart, spleen. Oriental OB & GY Questionnaires construct pathogenesis's question and guide post through we examined it's reasonableness.

${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$ is the greatest and oldest book on oriental medicine. It contains all the basic theories of oriental medicine. OB&GY in oriental medicine have been developed on the foundation of ${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$. However no intensive gynecological studies on ${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$ has been performed to this day. Hereupon, an investigation on OB&GY in Hwang Jae Nai Kyung is done for future theory and clinical study. The phrases that contain OB&GY are totally 24 in the chapter 16 of Somun and total of 9 in the chapter 8 of Youngchu. Phrases dealing with pregnancy were total of 9, which was the most frequent. Also statements about amenorrhea, lower abdominal pain, bleeding, discharge, menstruation, jangdam, sukga, postpartum, infertility were found. Hence, more studies of OB&GY in ${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$ is needed in order to verify and apply the theories stated in ${\ulcorner}$Hwang\;Jae\;Nai\;Kyung${\lrcorner}$.

Objective: This study was undertaken to examine the reliability of disease mechanism diagnosis, estimate the disease mechanism items of questionnaires and inquire about the relation of disease mechanisms to the oriental OB & GY diagnosis program. Questionnaires and abridged questionnaires were used for the object diagnosis of oriental medicine in the dept of Oriental OB & GY, Oriental Medical Hospital of Dong-Eui University. Methods: We analyzed the results of questionnaires about 1706 outpatients who had OB & GY disease in the Oriental Medical Hospital of Dong-Eui University from April 2000 to March 2004. Results: 1. The reliability of Oriental OB & GY questionnaires between $90\%$ and $95\%$ were 9 cases, between $85\%$ and $90\%$ were 3 cases, and under $85\%$were 3 cases. Abridged questionnaires were lower than original questionnaires, but 12 cases of a total 15 cases of disease mechanism were above $85\%$. Therefore, both abridged questionnaires and original questionnaires had similar results. 2. Abridged questionnaires were usually lower than existing questionnaires in the comparison of disease mechanism output frequency and that of disease mechanism average score. Therefore, the results of abridged questionnaires seemed to be poorer than those of existing questionnaires, but a great difference wasn't seen. 3. Disease mechanism that was over $50\%$ in the rate of pure question per disease mechanism was 10 cases $(66.7\%)$. Disease mechanism that contributed to producing disease mechanism result and in which pure question was over relevance calculation 0.9 was also 10 cases $(66.7\%)$. In abridged questionnaires, the duplication of questions per disease mechanism Was decreased, the rate of pure questions was increased, and the number of related disease mechanisms was decreased by abridgment of the questionnaires' questions. 4. The calculation of disease mechanism went with the increase of the duplication of questions in many cases, but Tam­Umhe, Kihe-Hyule, Kihe-Umhe, and Shin-Tam went with disease mechanism in many cases despite no duplication of questions. Conclusions: About the reliability of Oriental OB & GY questionnaires, 12 of a total 15 cases of disease mechanism were above $85\%$; therefore both abridged questionnaires and original questionnaires had similar results.

Purpose : In the part of Ob & Gy disease, the health insurance application is very limited. This study has been performed for gaining the basic data of enlargement of insurance coverage and reform of the insurance system corresponded with real clinical conditions. Methods : The survey has been practiced twice, the subjective questionnaire was used at the first survey. Then the questionnaire written using the results of first survey was distributed to the Korean medical doctors(KMD) who participated in the autumn symposium of the society of Oriental Obstetrics & Gynecology. Results : 1. The main Ob & Gy disease that the acupuncture treatment has been used actually or thought be positively necessary on the clinic were Dysmenorrhea(including premenstrual syndrome), Climacteric syndrome, Menstrual disorder, Postpartum Pain syndrome.

Suitable the sick and wounded name of Ob & Gy disease thought be added in BokGangNae(Intra-abdominal acupuncture: CV13 ${\cdot}$CV16${\cdot}$CV10). TuJa(Puncture each adjoining acu-points in one insertion : SP6-GB39), TuJa(PC6-TE5) among acupuncture items of insurance coverage were Dysmenorrhea(K05). Menstrual disorder(K02) and Dysmenorrhea(K05), Hyperemesis(K16.0). 4. Climacteric syndrome(K04) and Dysmenorrhea(K05) should be added as suitable the sick and wounded name of TuJa(SP6-GB39), and Postpartum pain syndrome(K29) as KwanJeolGangNea(Intra-articular acupuncture: S35, LE201).

Objective: This study investigated whether adding outer-well medium to inhibit osmotic changes in culture media in a dry-type incubator improved the clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. Methods: In culture dishes, the osmotic changes in media (20 µL)-covered oil with or without outer-well medium (humid or dry culture conditions, respectively) were compared after 3 days of incubation in a dry-type incubator. One-step (Origio) and G1/G2 (Vitrolife) media were used. Results: The osmotic changes in the dry culture condition (308 mOsm) were higher than in the humid culture conditions (285-290 mOsm) after 3 days of incubation. In day 3 IVF-ET cycles, although the pregnancy rate did not significantly differ between the dry (46.2%) and humid culture (51.0%) groups, the rates of abortion and ongoing pregnancy were significantly better in the humid culture group (1.5% and 49.5%, respectively) than in the dry culture group (8.3% and 37.8%, respectively, p<0.05). In day 5 IVF-ET cycles, the abortion rate was significantly lower in the humid culture group (2.2%) than in the dry culture group (25.0%, p<0.01), but no statistically significant difference was observed in the rates of clinical and ongoing pregnancy between the dry (50.0% and 25.0%, respectively) and humid culture groups (59.5% and 57.3%, respectively) because of the small number of cycles. Conclusion: Hyperosmotic changes in media occurred in a dry-type incubator by evaporation, although the medium was covered with oil. These osmotic changes were efficiently inhibited by supplementation of outer-well medium, which resulted in improved pregnancy outcomes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of oriental medicine on secondary amenorrhea & hypomenorrhea objectively. Methods: By serum hormone assay and history interview, we classified the causes of each patient having secondary amenorrhea & hypomenorrhea. We also diagnosed and treated each patient according to them. And then we estimated the results of treatment by follow-up measurements of serum hormone level. Results: 1. We diagnosed case I as hypothalamic-pituitary disfunction, case II, III as PCOS and case IV as ovarian failure by classifying the causes from western medical scientific angle. 2. We also diagnosed and treated the cases from oriental medical scientific angle. 3. We confirmed the improvement of cases by follow-up measurements of serum hormone level. Conclusion: These results of serum hormone assay showed how medically effective oriental medical therapies of secondary amenorrhea & hypomenorrhea were.
