Recent advances in systems biology are shedding a new light on the traditional medicine research. The systems biology highlights the way each component interacts with each other within a system, and the network behavior that emerges from such interactions. This feature of systems biology can accent the systemic aspects of Korean medicine such as the mechanism of action of herbal formulae, pattern differentiation, and the meridian systems, as both the Korean medicine and the systems biology theorize the human physiological functions and phenomena from a holistic point of view. This paper outlines the meaning of the recent Korean medicine research using the systems biology methodology. We discuss the methodologies of the two fields in a comparative manner, and overview the advantages and limitations of the integrated approaches. Finally, we suggest the future prospects for the systems biology inspired approaches to the Korean medicine research. The systems biology may provide a new modernized research methodology for the Korean medicine that can highlight its unique features.

This study was carried out (a) to investigate the variations of blood chemistry and (b) to examine the secretion trend of endocrine substances in a dog model after electroacupuncture and laser stimulation at different time period(9 to 11a.m. and 6 to 8p.m.). Two acupuncture points ; Da Zhui(GV-14) and Shen Shu(BL-23) were electroacupunctured for 20 minutes with 2Vol, 20Hz and irradiated for 5 minutes with 8,000Hz. Before stimulation and after a lapse of time(10-minutes, 30-minutes and 60-minutes) all dogs were checked the following parameters ; cortisol, ACTH, RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, WBC, Ca, P, SGPT, SGOT and creatinine. The results were as follow : The levels of cortisol and ACTH have been increased 10 minutes after the stimulation of the electroacupuncture and laser. The higher levels of cortisol and ACTH have been decreased to keep the normal levels from 30 minutes after the stimulation of the electroacupuncture and laser. The RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit and WBC showed the physiological phenomena in the electroacupuncture and laser stimulation. In sero chemical analysis, calcium, phosphate, SGOT, SGPT and creatinine levels were within normal physiological ranges.

Thick films of carbon fiber were prepared by a heating element of plan shape made in Darin co., We have investigated surface morphology of the specimen depending on heat-treatment temperatures. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) image of carbon fiber thick films of the specimen heat treated shows a grain growth at $1200^{\circ}C$ and becomes a poly-crystallization at $1350^{\circ}C$. The variation of resistivity at the thermally annealed specimen above $600^{\circ}C$ depends on type of the substrates. It may be due to a variation of film thickness and a difference of interfacial phenomena. A heating element of features was affected significantly by skin blood and quantity of heat of the body physiological function. After radiation of farinfrared for plate heating element, the function of biometric physiological is considered of skin blood flow and calorie which greatly affects on individuals. Electromagnetic wave was not influence on the body.

In general, the physiological systems have shown nonlinear complex phenomena. This study analyzes nonlinear characteristics of the flow of peripheral blood vessel dynamics in physiological systems using chaos theory. We performed this study by means of several quantity methods and power spectrum. The quantity methods are a phase space reconstruction and a poincare's map. And the power spectrum method is a conventional linear analysis. Experimental data have been acquired from examining 10 diabetic patients, and 10 control subjects in initial stable state. In acquisition experminetal data, we anlysized the differences of nonlinear characteristics between diabetic group and control group. The results of quality analysis methods showed the flow of peripheral blood vessel had the nonlinear and chaotic characteristics, screening a strange attractor on reconstructed phase space. In conclusion, the flow dynamics of peripheral blood vessel had a chaotic behavior of nonlinear dynamic systems, dynamic system, and differences of characteristic of nonlinear dynamic system.

Melatonin is a neurotransmitter that modulates various physiological phenomena including regulation and maintenance of the circadian rhythm. Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) play an important role in oral functions including orofacial muscle contraction, salivary secretion, and tooth development. However, knowledge regarding physiological crosstalk between melatonin and nAChRs is limited. In the present study, the melatonin-mediated modulation of nAChR functions using bovine adrenal chromaffin cells, a representative model for the study of nAChRs, was investigated. Melatonin inhibited the nicotinic agonist dimethylphenylpiperazinium (DMPP) iodide-induced cytosolic free $Ca^{2+}$ concentration ($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) increase and norepinephrine secretion in a concentration-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of melatonin on the DMPP-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase was observed when the melatonin treatment was performed simultaneously with DMPP. The results indicate that melatonin inhibits nAChR functions in both peripheral and central nervous systems.

In Korean Medicine (KM), the Yin-Yang doctrine is still used as a theoretical tool for understanding and explaining the clinical experiences. However, as the traditional culture declined in East Asia and the scientific culture took over, there was an increased negative view on the Yin-Yang doctrine, and thus a heightened distrust over KM. For KM to survive in an unfamiliar culture of science, a novel outlook on the Yin-Yang doctrine is needed. In this sense, I consider a thoroughly medical take on the Yin-Yang doctrine to be most important. The focus needs to be on the goals of medicine: this includes riddance of any discourses on Yin-Yang that cannot contribute to the goals, and an enhancement of the Yin-Yang concept as a rational and scientific terminology. One way to achieve this is by understanding Yin-Yang as a type of metaphor. The Yin-Yang doctrine that is utilized in KM corresponds well to the conceptual metaphor suggested by Lakoff and Johnson. As a metaphor, the Yin-Yang concept plays a role in structuring the target domain, that is life phenomena, metaphorically. Through the Yin-Yang metaphors, the life phenomena are understood as the Yin-Yang phenomena, and are systematically organized by the subcategories contained in the Yin-Yang doctrine. Understanding Yin-Yang as a metaphor is a good way to enhance the Yin-Yang concept and doctrine as a rational terminology and method.

영국 빅토리아 시대에 활성화된 문학과 과학 연구에서 뜨거운 논쟁 중 하나는 생리학과 심리학의 연관관계를 규명하는 것이다. 당시 많은 사상가들이 심리적 현상이 그것의 생리학적 원인으로 환원될 수 있는가의 여부에 대해 대단한 관심을 보였다. 예컨대 윌리엄 벤자민 카펜터(Willaim Benjamin Carpenter)는 심리라는 정신 현상은 생리라는 육체 현상과 근본적으로 다르다고 주장하고, 그랜트 알렌(Grant Allen)은 심리적 현상은 그것의 생리적 원인으로 환원될 수 있다고 여겼다. 본 논문에서는 알렌의 "생리학적 미학"(1877)에 나타난 생리학적 환원주의를 비판하고자 한다. 그의 미학은 대단한 역설을 품고 있다. 미적 인식의 점진적 발전을 주장하는 진화론적 미학을 주장하지만 궁극적으로는 이런 미적 발전 단계 구분을 부차적인 것으로 여기고 생리학적 보편주의를 제시하기 때문이다. 색깔에 대한 미적 판단의 진화를 예로 들면, 알렌은 인류 진화의 초기에는 화려한 색깔을 선호하다가 점진적으로 차분한 색깔로 '자연선택' 된다고 말한다. 색깔 선호의 이런 점진적 발전은 감각신경의 정교한 발전과 비례한다고 주장한다. 그러나 알렌은 궁극적으로 미적 인식의 이런 진화론적 발전 보다 미적 쾌락을 가능하게 하는 보편적으로 존재하는 감각신경 구조가 있다는데 더 큰 가치를 부여한다. 더 나아가 미적인 대상을 인식하는 방식에 있어서는 식물, 동물, 인간은 본질적으로 차이가 없다고까지 말한다. 미적 인식의 발전 단계를 설정하여 서열화하는 대신 누구에게나 존재하는 보편적 미적 감상 능력이 더 의미있다고 생각하는 미적 평등주의를 드러낸다. 이런 미적 보편주의는 인간에게 내재된 신경생리학적 구조의 보편성에 기인한다고 강조한다. 지적 판단이 개입되는 고차원적 미적 인식과 저급한 감각적 미적 인식의 차이는 질적 차이가 아니라 양적 차이일 뿐이다. 알렌이 정의하는 미적 사심 없음이라는 개념은 그의 이런 역설의 미학을 더욱 극명하게 보여준다. 그는 생리적-실용적 욕구에서 벗어나 그 자체의 쾌락을 추구하는 사심 없는 미적 판단을 최고 수준의 미적 인식이라고 말한다. 육체적-생리적-물질적-실용적 욕구에서 멀어지면 멀어질수록 미적 인식이 높다고 주장한다. 문제는 사심 없는 미적 관심이란 고차원의 미적 판단 능력도 결국은 신경 구조의 복잡한 발전에 기인한다고 보고 있어 다시 생물학적-생리학적 절대주의로 귀결한다. 필자는 알렌의 이런 모순된 주장을 생리학적 미학의 역설이라 부른다. 알렌의 미학은 사회적, 정신적 영역의 존재를 제대로 인정하지 않고 오직 신경-생리적 요인만을 절대화한다는 면에서 생물학적 순수주의를 표방한다. 현실은 물리적-생물학적 현실과 더불어 사회적, 개인적 요인들이 중층 결정된 구조인데 알렌은 이를 지나치게 단순화하여 생리학적 환원주의에 빠진다. 정치, 문화적 상황이나 개인적 취향의 다양성을 부차적인 요소로 과소평가하고 오직 육체적-생리적-감각적 요인만을 최우선시 하기 때문이다.

Most people suffer from stress during day life because modernized society is very complex and changes fast. Because stress can affect to many kind of physiological phenomena it is even considered as a disease. Therefore, it should be detected earlier, then must be released. When a person is being stressed several bio-signals such as heart rate, etc. are changed. So, those can be detected using medical electronics techniques. In this paper, stress assessment system is studied using random forest algorithm based on heart rate, RR interval and Galvanic skin response. The random forest model was trained and tested using the data set obtained from the bio-signals. It is found that the stress assessment procedure developed in this paper is very useful.

Regulation of respiration differs significantly between wakefulness and sleep. Respiration during wakefulness is influenced by not only automatic control but also voluntary and behavioral control. Sleep is associated with definite changes in respiratory function. With the onset of sleep, voluntary control of ventilation that overrides automatic control during wakefulness becomes terminated. Also ventilatory response to various stimuli including hypoxemia and hypercapnia is decreased. With these reasons respiration during sleep becomes fragile and unstable so that marked hypoxemia can be happened in patients with lung disease especially during REM sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea may also be developed if upper airway resistance is increased in addition to these blunted ventilatory responses.
