Purpose As modern science and medicine develop, the concept of life is changing, and the importance of patients' rights is emphasized, making it essential for medical professionals to think ethically. However, there is currently a lack of medical ethics research in the field of Oriental medicine, especially for pediatric and adolescent patients, we would like to take a look at this. Methods Through a literature review, we aim to discuss various ethical issues and human rights of children and adolescents that arise when Oriental medical doctors treat children and adolescents as medical professionals and use these as basic data for future research and education on Oriental medical ethics for children and adolescents. Results Medical ethics include the principles of autonomy, prohibition of evildoing, beneficence, and justice, and medical staff must make ethical judgments based on these principles. Ethical issues regarding children and adolescents arise in various clinical situations, and education on medical ethics is essential. Conclusions Discussions on the rights of children and adolescents are becoming active, and their importance is increasing. Therefore, sufficient explanation and consent must be provided to guardians, children, and adolescents with legal rightsand the opinions of the participants must be respected as far as possible.

The purpose of this study is to examine the recognition of the student of oriental medical school on cooperative system between Oriental and Western medicine and to provide basic information for the development of oriental medicine. In order to look at the level of recognition on cooperative system between Oriental and Western medicine, from September 1st to 15th of 2005, this study had been conducted through personal interview and questionnaires to 600 students who were attending the Department of Oriental Medicine (in both prep and regular courses) in D University, located in the City of Daegu. The data has been analyzed using statistic program, the SPSS WIN 12.0. Statistical analysis tools used for this study were frequency analysis, cross-over analysis and the t-test. The results are as follows; The students of oriental medical school had relatively high level of recognition on the basic concept, interests, necessity and potential for cooperative system between Oriental and Western medicine. However, they had negative understandings on the issue of unification of the two medical systems and it's possibility in the future. The students were optimistic about possible merits of cooperative system between Oriental and Western medicine, especially in the field of rehabilitation. On the reasons for lack of development of cooperative system between Oriental and Western medicine, the students listed prejudices existing on both sides firstly, followed by their contrasting approach on human illness, lack of legal and institutional support system, the indifferences of doctors and indifferences of oriental medical doctors. In addition, students understood that the dualism existing in our current medical system is aggravating mutual distrust between the two sides, causing the confusion of patients on the choice of medical facilities, and raising their medical bills. Therefore, in order to vitalize collaboration between Oriental and Western medicine in new health care environment, the following measures should be needed decreasing the prejudices between the two medical spheres with open mind improving educational programs in Western and Oriental medical schools; promoting joint academic research or exchange programs between the schools, and increasing government effort to minimize legal and institutional restrictions cooperative system between Oriental and Western medicine.

This experiment was done to investigate the effects of Ojajiwhangeumja(OJWEJ) to the symptoms of senility. To prove the effects of OJWEJ we injected scopolamine(1mg/kg) to the vein of rats. And we measured the blood cells(WBC, RBC, Platelet), constituents of serum(BUN, creatinin, glucose, uric acid), endurance of films of the red blood cell to erythrocyte hemolises, the activity of cholinesterase in serum, TBA and the activity of catalase, SOD in the purified microsome of brain tissue of rats. The results were as follows; 1. The number of white blood cells, platelet was increased significantly in the group treated by OJWEJ in comparison with control group. 2. The number of BUN, creatinin, glucose of serum decreased significantly in the OJWEJ treated group compared with control group. 3. The erythrocyte hemolises in red blood cells restrained significantly in the group treated by OJWEJ in comparison with control group. 4. The activity of cholinesterase in OJWEJ treated group increased significantly compared with control group. 5. The amounts of malondialdehyde of serum decreased significantly in the OJWEJ treated group in comparison with control group. 6. The catalase in the microsome of rat brain was activated significantly in the group treated by OJWEJ compared with control group. 7. The superoxide dismutase in the group treated by OJWEJ activated significantly in comparison with control group. According to this experiment it is suggested that OJWEJ accelerates the activity of colinesterase and restrains the creation of erythrocyte hemolises and accumulation of senile substance. But I look forward to see the further research to be made.

The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate the exchange between the East and the West during the 17th century through analyzing the oriental influences described in paintings in Delft school, a trade port of East India Company. The scope of this study focused on the 37 pieces of works by Johannes Vermeer and 31 pieces of the paintings by Pieter de Hooch, which are all the existing work, as analysis targets. The resources of this study were from previous papers about the history of costumes, paintings and culture, Internet sources and other qualitatively analyzed articles. The items that the study looked into were Delft porcelains and Delft tiles, Turkey carpets, costumes and accessories pearl earrings and headdresses. The study looked into oriental factors observed in each of these items, and analyzed them. In terms of oriental factors that are frequently observed in paintings, porcelains (100%), Deft tiles (100%), pearl earrings (100%) and (most) carpets (92.3%) turned out to have oriental nature, but this was not the case with head dresses (7.7%) and clothing (0.3%). These results happen to coincide with the previous investigation in that the oriental factor was reflected in the culture first, while the effects on costumes significantly lagged behind. This progress in cultural exchange can be seen through the noted use of Chinoiserie, a technique that is representative of the Chinese culture, in the 18th century. Through Japonism, the influence of Japanese culture into Europe was introduced, in detail, in 19th century. These results suggest that there are sufficient amount of sources that could be used to study the effect of orientalism to the Western culture. This study intends to look at how the oriental culture affected those of Europe by researching the Delft school of Netherlands during the 17th century.

Objective: The aim of this work is to investigate the antibacterial activity of the essential oil obtained from Artemisia lavandulaefolia (A. lavandulaefolia), as the development of microbial resistance to antibiotics make it essential to constantly look for new and active compounds effective against pathogenic bacteria. Method: The aerial parts of A. lavandulaefolia (1 kg) were subjected to steam distillation for 3 h, using a modified Clevenger type apparatus in order to obtain essential oil. Diethyl ether was the extracting solvent kept at 25?. The essential oil were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography／mass spectrometry (GC／MS). The essential oil and the composition were tested for antimicrobial activities against 15 different genera of oral bacteria. Ninety-nine compounds accounting for 94.74$\%$<／TEX> of the oil were identified. The main compounds in the oil were 1,8-cineole (5.63$\%$), yomogi alcohol (4.49$\%$), camphor (4.92$\%$), a-caryophyllene (16.10$\%$), trans-a-famesene (5.09$\%$), a-terpineol (3.91$\%$), borneol (5.27$\%$), cis-chrysanthenol (6.98$\%$), and a-humulene oxide (3.33$\%$). The essential oil and its compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity against 10 different genera of oral bacteria. Conclusion: The essential oil of A. lavandulaefolia exhibited considerable inhibitory effects against all obligate anaerobic bacteria (MICs, 0.025 - 0.05 ㎎／ml) tested, while their major compounds demonstrated various degrees of growth inhibition

This is a study on the methods of taking prescriptions in SANGHANRON (傷寒論), and after this, numbers of results have been obtained. SANGHANRON was written by Chang-Ki (張機) in the 2nd century, so it reflexes the usage of prescriptions of previous age indirectly. And gave affects on the methods of taking prescriptions to the oriental medicine doctors of next generation. Before Han-Dynasty (漢代), there were not so many publications connected with Oriental Medicine. Besides, some books couldn't hand down to next generation due to the gap of time and space. As time goes by, letters in medical books changed little by little, so contents connected with taking decoctions changed too. The effects of decoction and herb tea can be changed by the flexibility of methods of taking medicines, so we have to decide what kinds of taking methods should be taken and adapted to patients by the most effective way. There are many kind of methods of taking decocted prescriptions in SANGHANRON, so Chang-Ki selected the most appropriate method considering degree and position of disease and condition of patient. But nowadays, due to inconvenient procedure of taking medicines, some methos are not in common in clinical medicin. So this study was started to look back upon the changes of taking prescriptions and gave effort to find out the propriety of variation of taking prescriptions. In SANGHANRON, many kinds of taking prescriptions appeared from once a day to six times a day, except these, some prescriptions have to be taken little by little. These methods of taking prescriptions simplified as time pass by, but this change may give influence to the effect of medicine and finally we can't gain expected therapeutic value. So we have to distinguish the methods -though complicated and troublesome- in clinical medicine to make perfection more perfect in treating patients, and further studies have to be followed to prove the propriety of these methods.

The sasang constitutional medicine has been believed to be inherited. To ensure the heredity of sasang constitution and to look into the heredity pattern, we statistically analyzed constitutional relationship between parents and their children, using 173 clinical data couples registered to SCIB(Sasang Constitution Information Bank). The following results are obtained: The sasang constitution can be believed to be inherited, because the constitutions of children, whose parents have same constitutions, are mostly the same as their parents'. And it seems that one constitution is predominant to the other according to combinations of constitutions because constitution ratio of children are uniformly 2 to 1 in case the constitutions of parents are not same. Also it was confirmed that any sex of parents is not predominant by Chi-square test.
