Objectives : The aim of this study was to show the rationale of point-selection on the methods of acupuncture and moxibustion in the Phlegm section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Methods : First, We summarized the cause of each disease in the Phlegm section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Then, We explained the rationale of acupuncture point-selection referring to the cause of disease, physiology of the Oriental medicine, other uses of each acupuncture points in the Donguibogam, character of each acupuncture points, flow of meridian pathways and specific acupuncture points etc. Results and Conclusions : Total 9 acupuncture points were used in the Phlegm section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Most of acupuncture points were specific acupuncture points. But, some rationale of acupuncture point-selection were explained by the cause of disease, physiology of the Oriental medicine, other uses of each acupuncture points in the Donguibogam, flow of meridian pathways etc.

Objectives : This study was performed to understand the meaning of acupuncture at sea point in an sprain in orther to Yin Gi. Methods : We have researched some oriental books and articles about ankle sprains, Kyung Keun, acupuncture and five su point. And we investigated the meaning between the sea point and Yin Gi in acupuncture of an ankle sprain. Results & Conclusions : In other to Yin Gi, using the sea point in an ankle sprain, there are two meanings. One is decreasing pain through regulating UmYang, and the other is regulating the mobility of the ankle joint using Kyung Keun.

Objectives and Methods : The present study was to investigate the change of acupuncture point location of gallbladder meridian in head by way of reviewing classical literatures. Result and Conclusions : 1. The locations of acupuncture points closed-by anatomical marks such as GB1, GB2, GB3, GB11, GB12, GB19, GB20 are clear and accurate. 2. The expression of acupuncture points' locations of GB4, GB5, GB6, GB8 and GB10 are obscure in classical literature, but their locations became clear and objective in recent literatures. 3. The locations of GB9 and GB13 are open to dispute but WHO standard acupuncture point seems to be resonable. 4. In classical literature, the length from the midpoint of the anterior hairline to the midpoint of the posterior hairline is 12 B-cun, and the length from the midpoint of the anterior hairline to the GB19 is 5 cun, 5.5 cun or 6.5 cun. We presume that the length from GB15 to GB19 might have been measured by F-cun.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to show the rationale of point-selection on the methods of acupuncture and moxibustion in the Internal Injury section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Methods : First, we summarized the cause of each disease in the Internal Injury section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Then we explained the rationale of acupuncture point-selection referring to the cause of disease, physiology of the oriental medicine, other uses of each acupuncture points in the Donguibogam and other literature, character of each acupuncture points and specific acupuncture points etc. Results and Conclusions : Total 9 acupuncture points were used in the Internal Injury section(in the Naegyeong chapter) of the Donguibogam. Most of rationale of acupuncture point-selection were explained by specific acupuncture points, character of each acupuncture points, physiology of the oriental medicine and flow of meridian pathways etc. Each acupuncture points has practical application of specific diseases.

목적 : 경혈, 침구 온톨로지의 연계율을 높이기 위한 연구를 시행하였다. 방법 : 혈성(효능) 용어와 치법 용어를 최소 의미 단위로 분해하여 상호 연계하였다. 결과 : 혈성(효능)과 치법의 연계가 증가함에 따라 경혈, 침구 온톨로지 간 연계성이 증가하였으며, 확장 연계되는 프로퍼티의 수와 프로퍼티 간 노드의 수도 증가하였다. 결론 : 혈성(효능) 용어와 치법 용어의 최소 의미 단위로의 연계를 통해 온톨로지의 연계율이 개선되고 이에 따라 온톨로지의 활용성이 제고될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Objective : By establishing the Five Viscera Source Point Acupuncture as the targeted acupuncture treatment for stadardization, as the first step, this study was conducted to sort the indications of each acupuncture remedies, which can be referred as one of the most important factors in acupuncture treatment, based on Yeoungchu. Method : This study selected only the contents related to indications of five viscera, by extracting the relevant sentences from Yeoungchu using the search words Liver(Liver Meridian, First Yin), Heart(Pericardium, Heart Meridian, Second Yin), Spleen(Spleen meridian, Third Yin), Lung(Lung Meridian, Third Yin), and Kidney(Kidney Meridian, Second Yin). Result & Conclusion : 1. We selected and extracted text related to liver disease from Chapter 16, heart (pericardium) disease from Chapter 16, spleen disease from Chapter 19, lung disease from Chapter 17, and finally kidney disease from Chapter 17 of Yeoungchu. 2. The basic theory of applying Five Viscera Source Point Acupuncture to five viscera diseases is first assorting the diseases according to its state (i.e. deficiency or excess), then draining the source point of the appropriate viscus in case of excess, or supplementing the source point of the appropriate viscus in case of deficiency. 3. For the correct application of Five Viscera Source Point Acupuncture, the classification of the disease, not only the judgement on its state, must be presented systematically and synthetically in combination with Four Examinations. Therefore the follow-up studies needs to be conducted.

Objectives : The aim of the study is to draw a consensus in acupuncture point locations (APLs) which are frequently used in experimental animal studies. Well-documented APL is needed not only for human but also for rodents because stimulation of precise point is very important factor in acupuncture. Methods : We organized a committee with experts to reach a consensus on the APLs in rat. The subject points were limited to 22 points used in the papers published at international peer-review journals. To describe point locations, we adopted the syntax of sentence used in the WHO standard acupuncture point locations. Results : Locations of 22 acupuncture points such as ST36, LI4, PC6, and SP6 were described in English with photographic illustrations. Interestingly, we found that ST36 had been inserted into 2 different locations in rodent. Under consideration of practical use, the location of ST36 point was described in 2 different ways. Conclusion : We hope that newly developed APLs would be a good indicator of acupuncture experiments in rats and mice.
