Objectives: Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract marked by chronic abdominal pain and altered bowel habits. Irritable bowel syndrome is experienced by 11% of the global population. Although antidepressants and antispasmodic agents are currently used as therapeutic methods, they have side effects, so safer treatment agents are needed. Hence, I report the case of an outpatient who suffers from irritable bowel syndrome. Methods: The patient visited a public health center 14 times over four weeks and was treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine (Sosiho-tang and Jakyakgamcho-tang). Treatment progress was assessed using the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System. Results: After 28 days of treatment, the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Severity Scoring System score decreased from 410 to 30 points without adverse events. The patient was highly satisfied. Conclusion: Sosiho-tang and Jakyakgamcho-tang with acupuncture might become recommended therapeutic options for irritable bowel syndrome patients.

We present our efforts for extending the simultaneous multi-frequency receiver system of the Korean Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Network (KVN) to global baselines in order to measure the frequency-dependent position shifts in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) jets, the so called core shift effect, with an unprecedented accuracy (a few micro-arcseconds). Millimeter VLBI observations with simultaneous multi-frequency receiver systems, like those of the KVN, enable us to explore the innermost regions of AGN and high precision astrometry. Such a system is capable of locating the frequency dependent opacity changes accurately. We have conducted the feasibility test-observations with the interested partners by implementing the KVN-compatible systems. Here we describe the science case for measuring the core shift effect in the AGN jet and report progress and future plans on extending the simultaneous multi-frequency system to global baselines.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report 20 cases of tic disorder children who were treated by Kuibiondam-tang Gami. Methods We treated the tic disorder children with herbal medicine, Kuibiondam-tang Gami. Then we evaluated tic disorder by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and observed the progress of tic disorder. Results 20 children (male 17, female 3 / transient tic disorder 6, chronic motor or vocal tic disorder 13, Tourette's disorder 1) were studied, the average age of children was $8.45{\pm}2.08$ years, the average duration of illness was $16.55{\pm}13.63$ month and the mean of treatment was $13.20{\pm}9.29$ week. After the treatment, mean of YGTSS was reduced $36.35{\pm}9.84$ to $9.35{\pm}1.03$ and total effective rate was 95%. Conclusions Kuibiondam-tang Gami is effective for reducing tic symptom and improving general conditions in children.
