Objectives : To examine the developmental process of the Pi-Yin theory since the Huangdineijing to Miu Xiyong. Methods : Related contents since the Huangdineijing to Miu Xiyong was searched to examine the development of the Pi-Yin theory. Results & Conclusions : In the Huangdineijing and Shanghanzabinglun, the origin of the Pi's body fluids that nurtures everywhere is explained to be the Wei, which limited the development of the Pi-Yin theory. Liu Wansu understood tonification of the Pi by means of moistening medicinals to mean adding Pi-Yin based on the manifestation of dryness in the case of dampness deficiency which is the main Qi of the Pi and Wei. Zhu Danxi understood adding Pi-Yin as accomplished by supplementing Blood. The understanding of the nature of Pi to be 'likes dryness and hates dampness' leading to thinking that drying dampness tonifies the Pi was the reason why the Pi-Yin theory could not develop fully. Miu Xiyong accepted theories of both Li Dongyuan and Zhu Danxi, and constructed the Pi-Yin theory to bring caution to the unwanted effects of using Baizhu wrongly. Through examination of the developmental process of the Pi-Yin theory, it could be understood that rather than focusing on the physiological function of the Pi-Yin and ways of maintaining its proper functioning, the theory was developed to bring caution to using medicinals with dry and hot properties that could dry the Pi-Yin.

Objective : Korean medicine normally explained Kuang as a symptom arising from the exaltation caused by excessive yangqi. Therefore, a lot of arguments existed surrounding Jinkuiyaolue's explanation of Kuang as Yangqishuai. Therefore, the paper will review the exisitng opinions regarding this issue, and studied the original meaning of Jinkuiyaolue. Method : First, the opinions of the historical doctors related to the clauses within Jinkuiyaolue are reviewed. Existing opinions are divided into categories, and their meanings and limitations are analyzed. Followed by this, Huangdineijing and later generations' annotations were studied to discover a way to distinquish Yin and Yang of Jinkuiyaolue's Yangqi within the Sinqi. Result & Conclusion : The disease pathogen as explained within Jinkuiyaolue can be understood as an activity of Simqi, and it's difficult to view it as the Yin and Yang in terms of blood qi. Therefore, Jinkuiyaolue refers to the deficiency in terms of the aspect of Yang within the activity of Sinqi. The Yangqi of this can be viewed as an activity of Shenming.

Facial nerver paralysis is classified as Supranuclear, Peripheral and Nuclear. It is mostly Spontaneous Peripheral Facial Paralysis(Bell's palsy) or Supranuclear Paralysis by C.V.A, but Nuclear Facial Nerve Paralysis is rarely reported. We treated a 64-years-old female patient who had 7-years history of C.V.A with hypertension and heart disease, and complained of these symptoms; left facial palsy, ocular dysmetria, diplopia, and right extremity weakness. We diagnosed as direct attack from the wind pathogen(風邪入中) with deficiency of both Gi(Qi, vital energy) and blood(氣血雨虛), and employed Oriental medical treatments; herb-medication, acupuncture and moxa therapy. The result was relatively acceptable. So We report this case with a brief review of related literatures.

By studying disease classifications of oriental medicine from Nei-Ching, Chao's-Bing-Yuan, Dong-Yi-Bao-Jian and Korea-standard classification of causes of disease & death. The results were obtained as follows : 1. In Nei-Ching 181 kinds, Chao's-Bing-Yuan 1729 kinds, Dong-Yi-Bao-Jian 966 kinds, and Korea-standard classification of causes of disease & death 2519 kinds of diseases, which suggested more diseases as time flew. 2. In classical books such as Nei-Ching, Chao's-Bing-Yuan, and Dong-Yi-Bao-Jian most of diseases and their names were originated from six kinds of pathogenic factors, Zang-Fu, Jung-Qi-Blood-Fluid, soul, and outer-body-signs, while Korea-standard classification of causes of disease & death classified diseases according to oriental medical departments. 3. Symptoms of Cold-Heat-Excess-Deficiency and pathogenic factors, body parts, Zang-Fu were applied to names of diseases in oriental medicine. 4. In oriental medicine, some symtoms, many intermal diseases were used as disease name, but it is necessary for us to select exact name of diseases in modem clinical treatment. 5. We should consider disease names in Korea-standard classification of causes of disease & death in relations with western medical terms of diseases.

Objectives : AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is considered a sensitive marker of ovarian reserve, and it tends to be included among basic fertility tests. This paper is to report four pregnancies which were achieved by subfertile women with low AMH level after Korean medical treatments. Methods : Four cases of pregnancy by subfertile women, aged 34 to 37, with low AMH level (0.04 to 0.76 ng/mL), after Korean medical treatments between July 2012 and May 2015, were analysed. The patients were diagnosed as Kidney deficiency (腎虛), Blood extravasation (瘀血) and/or Liver Qi stagnation (肝氣 鬱結). Herbal medicine, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture and moxibustion treatments were applied. Results : The four subfertile women with low AMH level achieved pregnancy after Korean medical treatments. Conclusions : The case report suggests that Korean medical treatment can be an effective option for subfertile women with low AMH level before Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of Bi-Su as a pattern identification (PI) index in stroke patients. Methods : The subjects were 424 hospitalized stroke patients within 1 month from onset and diagnosed with the same PI subtypes (dampness & phlegm, qi deficiency, fire & heat, eum deficiency, and blood stasis) by agreement of two clinical experts. Bi-Su type is a kind of body shape (Bi : fat, Su : lean). Bi-Su type and degree (Bi-Su score) were decided by clinical expert. Body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) were used as an obesity index. Correlation analysis between Bi-Su score and obesity index (Spearman) and variance analysis for Bi-Su score, BMI, and WHR among PI subtypes (ANOVA) and sex were carried out. Results : While there was partial correlation between Bi-Su type and BMI($r^2$=0.634, p<0.001), the distribution of the BMI group based on the Bi-Su group showed the broadest range. The Bi-Su score in the dampness & phlegm group was higher than in the other groups (p<0.001). BMI in the dampness & phlegm groups was also higher but the BMI differences among PI subtypes was low (p=0.002). The Bi-Su score in the dampness & phlegm group was similar in both sexes, although the hand score in the eum deficiency group was the lowest, especially in males. Conclusions : Although BMI is not an objective enough tool for evaluating Bi-Su type, Bi-Su type is more appropriate than BMI as PI index. Therefore Bi-Su type could be used as one of the PI indices for dampness & phlegm or eum deficiency group in stroke patients.
