Objectives : The objective of this paper is to develop a standardized patient program with a focus on diagnosis and treatment of internal damage fever in Korean Medical education. Methods : First, cases of diagnosis and treatment of internal damage fever were collected from various classical texts, then a module was developed according to pre-existing standardized patient program's protocols based on selected cases. Careful consideration was given to developing evaluation criteria on history taking and physical examination that are necessary to accurately differentiating the 9 types. Results : Nine types of differentiation models on internal damage fever were selected, which are qi deficiency from overexertion/fatigue and famish; blood deficiency from overexertion/fatigue, famish and fullness; fire stagnation from excessive eating and cold foods; food damage; yang deficiency; yin deficiency; phlegm; stagnated blood; liver qi stagnation. For each type, evaluation criteria in regards to history taking, physical examination, communication with patient, and patient education were developed. Conclusions : When developing a standardized patient program using internal damage fever cases, it would better reflect the characteristics of Korean Medicine in clinical education of Korean Medicine if the program is based on classical texts. It would also be useful in evaluating students' graduation competence in exams such as CPX.

Cheonghunhwadam-tang(CHT) have been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent of vertigo by wind, fire and phlegm. CHTGR was CHT adding Gastrodae Rhizoma. The effects of CHTGR on the regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) is not known. A comparative Study of action-mechanism of CHT and CHTGR on the cerebral hemodynamics is not known too. Therefore, purpose of this Study was to investigate effects of CHT and CHTGR on the rCBF and MABP, compare action-mechanism of CHT and CHTGR on the rCBF and MABP. The changes of rCBF and BP was determinated by Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF). The results were as follows ; CHT extract was increased rCBF in a dose-dependent, but was not changed MABP compared with CHT non-treated group. CHTGR extract was decreased rCBF and MABP compared with CHTGR non-treated group in a dose-dependent. Action of CHT is not related with adrenergic β-receptor, cyclooxygenase and guanylate cyclase, but action of CHTGR is related with guanylate cyclase.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate that causes of motion sickness in oriental medicine. Methods The internal and external studies about motion sickness were searched Results and Conclusions The motion sickness is induced by conflict of balance system including vestibular, visual and proprioceptive system. The motion sickness is more common in female and in children between 2 and 12 years old. In western medicine, antihistamine and anticholinergic has been used for treatment of motion sickness, but these anti-motion sickness drug turn out to be not a perfect solution and have several side effects. On the other hands, In oriental medical terminology, there is no words equivalent to the "motion sickness", but we consider the motion sickness as state with dizziness, nausea and vomiting. The motion sickness can be induced by either internal or external causes and the internal causes can thought to be a constitutional factor of an individuals, and the general transportation can be an external cause. The important internal cause is a dysfunction of the spleen, stomch(脾胃不調), retention of phlegm and fluids(痰飮), and deficiency of the kidney jing(腎精不足). The wind(風) and fire(火) in the upper part of the body, especially in the head, also can be an important cause of the motion sickness.

In the literatual study on the cerebral vascular dementia, the results were as follows : 1. Cerebral vascular dementia is so called apoplectic dementia, because it almost occurs after apoplexy, the attack rate has gradually increased by increase of life, so it exert a harmful influence to geriatric diseases. 2. The etiological factors are summarized on deficiency in the heart, kidney, liver(心, 腎, 肝虛), pathogenic wind(豊) pathogenic fire(火) phlegm(痰) and stagnated blood(瘀血) in the oriental medicine, and multiple cerebral infarction, cerebral anemia, decrease of cerebral vascular flow are etiological factors in the occidental medicine. 3. The region of infarction and attack of cerebral vascular dementia have a close connection, and generally the cerebral vascular dementia easily occur in injury of white matter of brain. 4. Symptoms of cerebral vascular dementia are dysphasia, walking disorder, hemiplegia, sensory paralysis, disturbance of memory, judgement, calculation, emotion incontinence, speech impediment, silence or talkative, lower thinking ability and depersonalization, and symptoms are aggravated by stage. 5. Therapeutic herb medicines are Palpungsan(八風散), Baepungsan(排風散), Jinsaanshinhwan(辰砂安神丸), Sabacksan(四白散), Kanghwalyupungsan(姜活愈風散), Woohwangchungshimhwan(牛黃淸心丸), and they are used to dispelling pathogenic wind(祛風), soothe the nerves(安神), dispel pathogenic heat from lung, nourish the blood(淸肺養血).

This study attempted to study SLE oriental-western medically. As a result, the following conclusion was drawn 1. SLE is autoimmune disease to appear systemic pathology in the connective tissue, oriental medically correspond with numbness, yangdok(陽毒), yangdokbalban(陽毒發斑), fatigue, flank pain, phlegm, chest pain, asthma and cough, edema. 2. The cause of SLE is supposed by hereditary reason, ultraviolet exposure, medication, immune functional disorder, oriental medically is supposed by congenital in suffiency, sunlight exposure, pregnancy, menstruation, over wark, mental stimulus etc. 3. The oriental mechanisms of SLE were flursh of fever, yang defiency of spleen and kidney, defiency of yin and flourishing fire, obstruction of qi and stagnancy of blood, defiency qi and yin, defiency heart and spleen, liver stasis. 4. The treatments method of SLE were cooling blood and defending yin·clear away heat and detoxification, warming kidney and descending yang·establishing spleen and flowing water, nourishing yin and cooling blood, relaxation of liver and circulatin of qi·activating blood and removing stagnant blood,activating blood and promoting meridian. 5. the highest frequent prescription of SLE was jibakjihwanghwan(地柏地黃丸), in decending order segakjihwangtanggagam(犀角地黃湯加減), jinmutanggagam(眞武湯加減), soyosangagam(逍遙散加減), saengmakyingagam(生脈飮加減), daeboyinhwangagam(大補陰丸加減), yukmijihwanghwan(六味地黃丸), woogwihwangagam(右歸丸加減), kueibitang(歸脾湯), segakjihwangtanghaphwabantanggagam(犀角地黃湯合化斑湯加減), chengwonpaedokyingagam(淸溫敗毒飮加減), youngyanggudengyin(羚羊鉤藤飮).

From the reference research, the results obtained were as follows. 1. Until the "Song" dynasty, the predominant cause of facial nerve paralysis was the attack of Pathogenic Wind to "the Stomach Channel of Foot Yangming, (St.C.); and "the Small Intestine Channel of Hand Taiyang, (S.I.C.). They recognized the facial paralysis as an aspect of palsy. 2. In the period of Jin-Yuan(金元), the predominant cause was described as "Xuexu"(the deficiency of blood) and phlegm. They recognized that the facial palsy was a palsy. However, they also acceded to the possibility that there could be other explanations. 3. In the period of "Ming & Qing", there were numerous kinds of causes. For example, the following were identified as attacking the Meridian: the Pathogenic Cold; Pathogenic Heat; "Xinxu"(the deficiency in the heart); Fire and Heat combined as a pathogenic factor; "Pixu"(the deficiency in the spleen); and, "Xinxu"(the deficiency of blood). 4. In the past, Koreans have explained the facial paralysis according to the Chinese theories mentioned. However, recently there has been an emergence of another Chinese theory; whereby, facial paralysis is classified into causes and symptoms, and then medical treatment is applied accordingly. 5. From the occident medical perspective, the facial paralysis is categorized into two causes. The first is called central facial nerve paralysis and the second is called peripheral facial nerve paralysis. The latter is mainly caused by Bell's palsy, Herpez zoster oticus, and trauma.

In this study, we structuralized the diagnostic indices used for pattern identification (PI) of stroke, and suggested an AHP method to obtain the weights of PI indices. AHP of the subjects under consistency ratio 0.1 showed that the critical indices for stroke PI consists of 9 for Qi-deficiency, 13 for Phlegm/dampness, 7 for blood stagnation, 12 for Yin-deficiency and 16 for Fire/heat. Furthermore, AHP analysis rendered the weights of indices of each PI that will be useful for oriental medical experts to perform objective PI.

Cheonghunhwadam-tang(CHT) have been used in oriental medicine for many centuries as a therapeutic agent of vertigo by wind, fire and phlegm. CTG was CHT adding Aurantii FructusㆍGastrodae Rhizoma. CTG was significantly increased regional cerebral blood f1ow(rCBF) in a dose-dependent, and CTG was decreased mean arterial blood pressure(MABP) compared with normal MABP(100%) in a low dosage, but was increased MABP in a dose-dependent, was aliked with normal MABP in a high-dosage. Therefore, purpose of this Study was to investigate experimental mechanism of CHTAG on the cerebral hemodynamics(rCBF, MABP) in rats. The changes of rCBF and MABP were determinated by Laser-Doppler Flowmetry(LDF). The results were as follows ; Pretreatment with indomethacin(3㎎/㎏, i.v.) was significantly inhibited CTG induced increase of rCBF and pretreated with propranolol(3㎎/㎏, i.v.) was inhibited CTG induced increase of rCBF, but pretreatment with methylene blue(10㎍/㎏, i.v) was increased CTG induced increase of rCBF. Pretreatment with indomethacin was decreased CTG induced increase of MABP, but pretreatment with propranolol and methylene blue were increased CTG induced increase of MABP. This results suggest that the mechanism of CTG is mediated by cyclooxygenase.

To develop the Korean standard differentiation of the symptoms and signs for the stroke(KSDS), the committee on Stroke Diagnosis Standardization of traditional Korean medicine(TKM) was organized dy nineteen experts in college of Korean medicine. On July 9th 2005, the second consultation meeting was held in Daejeon, Korea. Fifteen experts of the committee attended the meeting and they discussed the KSDS and came to a consensus. The 15-member committee consensus was as follows: First, board members defined the stroke on the basis of TKM. Second, they divided the symptoms and signs of stroke into five categories- fire and heat, dampness and phlegm, blood stasis, qi deficiency, yin deficiency. Third, the symptom indicator of each differentiation type for the stroke was recommended. KSDS-1 will be applied to the clinical practice and revised.

The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in blood homocysteine levels and blood d-dimer levels of cerebral infarction patients categorized by Pattern Identification. We studied hospitalized patients within 4 weeks after the onset of stroke who were admitted to the Oriental Internal Medical Department at Semyung University Chungju Oriental Medical Hospital from May 2008 to September 2009. We analyzed risk factors and blood homocysteine levels and blood d-dimer levels accordings to Pattern Identification in Cerebral infarction patients. A total of 49 patients were included in the trial. No statistical significance was noted for any characteristics except body weight and body mass index. Body weight and body mass index were significantly higher Dampness-Phlegm pattern. On past history of patients, prevalence of DM was significantly higher in Fire-Heat pattern than that of other patterns. There was no significant difference of blood homocysteine levels and blood d-dimer levels among Pattern Identification. This study investigated the differences in blood homocysteine levels and blood d-dimer levels of cerebral infarction patients categorized by Pattern Identification. The correlation in homocysteine and d-dimer levels and Pattern Identification was not clarified.
