We study on the significance and application of the whole body form diagnosis. The results were as follows; The general form diagnosis is the method to observe the individual physiology and pathology. The phase of thinking, the current and activity of KI, the pattern of general form diagnosis have organic relations with the symptoms. The general form diagnosis is made up the principle of the imaging phase, therefore it must make synthetic union the differentiation of syndromes. The general form diagnosis of NAE GYEONG shows the typical phases and it is divided with the sight of YIN YANG and Five-Element. The general form diagnosis of SEOP GAE is practiced the theory of constitution's demonstration before the understanding of symptoms. Then JANG NAM tried the type of constitution's demonstration. The general form diagnosis of DONG MU becomes the diagnostic root of constitution's demonstration in four type constitution theory.

Objectives : This study proposes developing Sasang Medical Diagnosis Program using Facial form for increase in Sasang Constitution Diagnosis objectivity and putting the Diagnosis Program into practical use. The author presents a review of extant research on Sasang constitution diagnosis utilizing facial feature analysis and suggests an agenda for further research. Methods : For this thesis, a collection of dissertations on the subject of 'Usage of facial form for constitution diagnosis' published until September of 2012 such as RISS4U, OASIS, KISTI, Korean TK were reviewed. The final 33 dissertations were classified into two categories, basic or clinical research and then analyzed. Results : 9 out of 33 dissertations were of basic research and 24 were of clinical research. 1) As result of review of references, a uniform tendency was found in facial form according to Sasang Constitution. 2) In the grade of practical use, facial element is repeatedly used and the facial element of important use has constitutional differences. 3) Standard faces per Sasang Constitution were derived as result of 2-dimensional research. 4) 3-dimensional research focused on improvement of accuracy and reliability of 3D-AFRA, and there has been an attempt to develop a prototype for identification. Conclusions : For practical use of facial feature in Sasang Constitution Diagnosis, 1) Standardization of diagnosis through establishing Sasang Medical Diagnosis clinical protocol must be preceded. After the standardization, practical purpose and direction of facial form in general may be decided. 2) Information on high quality facial form of constitutional and conditional patients must be collected to form extensive database. 3) Subdivided symptomatology, as well as Sasang Constitution must be considered for diagnosis in order for diagnosis technique to acquire clinical practicality.

Jang Nam's opinion is that Yin-Yang of pathogenic factors change following to the Yin and Yang of human body. As the pathogenic factors injure the human body, the conditions of diseases become different to the inborn constitution of human. Therefore the main principles of remedy set up the diagnosis on the YINㆍYANG & the strengthㆍweakness of constitution. This diagnotic points are body formal distinction, flesh hardness and softness, face color and form, skin color. Moreover he arranges the 4 type of the hole-body constitution based on the Seop-Gye's the guide of clinical differentiation of syndromes(臨證指南); Yang-Strength and Yin-weakness(陽盛陰虛), Yin ㆍYang-strength(陰陽具盛), Yin-Strength and Yang-weakness(陰盛陽虛), YinㆍYang-weakness(陰陽兩虛).

Seop-Gye divided up the constitution's strength and weakness, and so he cured disease by the 'cold and heat'. 'deficiency and excessiveness' means on the basis of the YINㆍYANG of constitution. He classified constitution with pathogenesis grounding in body formal distinction, flesh hardness and softness, face color and form, skin color. Therefore he grasped the rule of constitution connected with physiological function and pathological distinction, applied the rule of constitution in the diagnosis and cure of the chronic & epidemic febrile disease.

Hamming distances in medical science are used for the diagnosis of diseases. The differences of the distances, however, are often very small, and is not in the general statistical form such as normal or chi-square distribution. In this study, we explore the characteristics and significance of the differences of Hamming distances generated in medical diagnosis.

The treatment before growing into disease is the highest level of the spirit of oriental preventive public medicine. Specially the treatmentt is very important in the life style disease of the aged society, and it is closely connected the human body-form diagnosis reflecting the character of individual physiology and pathology. The human body-form diagnosis explain systematically the color of face, the form and movement of the body, the smell and the taste, the mentality, many or few of $Yin{\cdot}Yang$, the state of pulse, the Meridian, the state of pathology and the direction of the treatment, and therefore the human body-form diagnostis method has also the practical ity on classifying the type. As the spirit of oriental preventive public medicine is based on the Meridian control method and food cooking control method, it has an important effect on the general management of the disease, the making on the beautiful face and the healthy body, the prolongation of life, the management of the individual-ordered health.

An epialtid spider crab, Naxioides robillardi (Miers, 1882), is known as widely distributed in Indo-West Pacific region include Japanese waters. Four specimens of epialtid crabs were collected from adjacent waters of Jejudo Island and identified as N. robillardi. This species can be grouped into two forms such as N. robillardi form typical and N. robillardi form mammillata according to morphological features of carapace, gastric spine, and chela. Morphological characters of all Korean specimens well agree with the form mammillata in general. In this paper, morphological diagnosis and illustrations of newly collected N. robillardi are provided. DNA barcode sequence of COI region is also determined for the first time.

Tuberculous pleurisy is the most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis in Korea. Tuberculous pleurisy presents a diagnostic and therapeutic problem due to the limitations of traditional diagnostic tools. There have been many clinical research works during the past decade. Recent studies have provided new insight into the tuberculous pleurisy, which have a large impact on clinical practice. This review is a general overview of tuberculous pleurisy with a focus on recent findings on the diagnosis and management.

The graft copolymer consisting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and single-stranded DNA was prepared. Interestingly, the copolymer was found to form nanoparticles above physiological temperature. We found that non-crosslinking aggregation of the nanoparticles was induced by the hybridization of the surface-bound DNA with the full-match complementary DNA, but not with one-base mismatch. The core material is not restricted to PNIPAAm; DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticle was found to show a similar aggregation induced only by the fully-complementary DNA, resulting in rapid color change within 3 min at ambient temperature. This methodology is general in principle and applicable for wide variety of clinical gene diagnosis.

Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is one of the most severe form of chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), which could result in bone and related tissue damage. This autoinflammatory bone disorder (ABD) is very difficult for its clinical diagnosis because of no diagnostic criteria or biomarkers. CRMO in the jaw must be suspected in the differential diagnosis of chronic and recurrent bone pain in the jaw, and a bone biopsy should be considered in chronic and relapsing bone pain with swelling that is unresponsive to treatment. The early diagnosis of CRMO in the jaw will prevent unnecessary and prolonged antibiotic usage or unnecessary surgical intervention. The updated researches for the identification of genetic and molecular alterations in CNO/CRMO should be studied more for its correct pathophysiological causes and proper treatment guidelines. Although our trial consisted of reporting items from Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), there are very few articles of randomized controlled trials. This article was summarized based on the author's diverse clinical experiences. This paper reviews the clinical presentation of CNO/CRMO with its own pathogenesis, epidemiology, recent research studies, and general medications. Treatment and monitoring of the jaw are essential for the clear diagnosis and management of CNO/CRMO patients in the field of dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.
