  • The demand for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is increasing worldwide. High-technology medicine is not always effective and is often accompanied by neglected self-care and high cost. Also, conventional medicine has become dependent on expensive technological solutions to health problems. Integrated medicine is not simply a synonym for complementary medicine. It involves the understanding of the interaction of the mind, body, and spirit and how to interpret this relationship in the dynamics of health and disease. Integrative medicine shifts the orientation of the medical practice from a disease-based approach to a healing-based approach. In South Korea, CAM education was first provided 20 years ago, and integrative medicine is becoming part of the current mainstream medicine. Increasing numbers of fellowships in integrative medicine are being offered in many academic health centers in the U.S. Also, it has emerged as a potential solution to the American healthcare crisis and chronic diseases, which are bankrupting the economy. It provides care that is patient-centered, healing-oriented, emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, and uses therapeutic approaches originating from conventional and alternative medicine.

  • A forty-three-year-old male patient was diagnosed with an acute abscess in the dorsum of the right hand. On the 5th day of conventional pharmacological therapy the patient was still suffering, and was referred to the Outpatient department (OPD) to evacuate and drain the abscess and treat the edema around the area with Hijama (wet cupping therapy, WCT). The hand abscess was successfully cured within a week using an integrative approach of wet cupping therapy together with conventional drug therapy.

  • The educational environment of the era of age of uncertainty and human and disaster, where nothing is predictable, so it is bringing about many changes. The purpose of this study is to suggest the implications of Integrative arts therapy in the educational field of unpredictable times as a way to move the minds of people living in various educational changes. As for the research method, the characteristics of the integrative arts therapy shown in the previous studies were examined through the literature method, and then through the cases in the modern education environment practiced we propose three things. First, in the field of university education, students should have an integrative arts therapy approach in terms of teaching methods, and also, second, in order to recover from failure and frustration, continuous gratitude sharing training to discover and acknowledge positivity in the situation by changing perspectives should improve students' self-esteem and self-efficacy. Third, professors should play the role of facilitators and also coaches in knowledge transfer. Therefore the coaching process should be integrated into the process of sustainable education when the integrative arts therapy is approached from the pedagogical curriculum.

  • This study uses theoretical perspectives and models from organizational ecology to examine the dynamics and viability of strategic groups. Integrating the ecological perspective and the contingency theoretical view of strategic management, this study developed propositions demonstrating the impact of environmental density and variation on the effectiveness of strategic groups. Justifications for linking ecological perspectives to strategic management theory are discussed and the importance of the integrative approach to strategic management is highlighted.

  • Dystonia is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary and uncontrollable muscle tonus abnormalities. It is a huge burden not only to the patients and their families, but also to the field of medicine, in that there has hardly been any substantial change in the concept of and approach to this intractable disorder and therefore no breakthrough to its diagnosis, evaluation and treatment. As an effort to solve the current impasse, this review briefly summarizes the current concept, etiology, diagnosis, treatment and management, and then suggests a rather new therapeutic approach to this disorder, based on the concept of neurological balance and TMJ integrative approach. These new approaches will provide a platform for the clinicians and researchers to have a leap in the concept, diagnosis and therapeutics.

  • 본 연구는 삽교천 수계의 삽교천, 무한천, 곡교천의 이화학적 수질, 물리적 서식지 건강성, 생물학적 건강성을 평가하였고, 이를 바탕으로 종합적인 수생태계 건강성을 평가하였다. 3가지 건강성 평가 항목은 3개 하천에서 모두 악화된 상태이거나 보통 상태를 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 곡교천에서 가장 악화되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 건강성이 더 악화되는 경향을 보였다. 6개 항목의 화학적 수질 중 Chl-$\alpha$를 제외한 5개 수질 항목은 하류로 갈수록 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 곡교천에서 가장 높은 값을보였다. 물리적 서식지 건강성은 Good에서 Fair 범위를 보였고, 곡교천의 서식지 건강성이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 생물학적 건강성은 이화학적 수질과 물리적 서식지 건강도를 잘 반영하였으며, 3개 하천의 생물학적 건강도는 상류지점에서 Fair 상태로 나타났고, 하류 지점에서 Poor 상태를 보였다. 이러한 생물학적 건강성에 영향을 주는 요인을 PCA를 통하여 분석한 결과 상류 지점에서는 물리적 서식지 건강성이 좀더 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 하류지점에서는 화학적수질의 영향이 좀 더 큰 젓으로 판단되었다. 화학적 수질, 물리적 서식지 건강성, 생물학적 건강성 평가 항목을 바탕으로 종합적인 수생태계 건강성을 평가한 결과 무한천의 M1 지점이 통합적인 건강성이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 곡교천의 G2와 G3 지점이 가장 건강성이 악화된 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 수생태계의 건강성을 통합적으로 나타내어 취약한 부분을 쉽게 확인할 수 있는 방법으로써 향후 수생태계 복원 및 장기 모니터링에 중요한 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • Synthesis of flavonoid glycoside is difficult due to diverse hydroxy groups in flavonoids and sugars. As such, enzymatic synthesis or biotransformation is an approach to solve this problem. In this report, we used stepwise biotransformation to synthesize two quercetin bisglycosides (quercetin 3-O-glucuronic acid 7-O-rhamnoside [Q-GR] and quercetin 3-O-arabinose 7-O-rhamnoside [Q-AR]) because quercetin O-rhamnosides contain antiviral activity. Two sequential enzymatic reactions were required to synthesize these flavonoid glycosides. We first synthesized quercetin 3-O-glucuronic acid [Q-G], and quercetin 3-O-arabinose [Q-A] from quercetin using E. coli harboring specific uridine diphopsphate glycosyltransferase (UGT) and genes for UDP-glucuronic acid and UDP-arabinose, respectively. With each quercetin 3-O-glycoside, rhamnosylation using E. coli harboring UGT and the gene for UDP-rhamnose was conducted. This approach resulted in the production of 44.8 mg/l Q-GR and 45.1 mg/l Q-AR. This stepwise synthesis could be applicable to synthesize various natural product derivatives in case that the final yield of product was low due to the multistep reaction in one cell or when sequential synthesis is necessary in order to reduce the synthesis of byproducts.

  • 건강 관리에 있어서 서양의학과 한의학의 접근 방법의 차이는 자연과 인간의 이해에 대한 문화적인 차이에서 비롯된다. 서양의학에서는 자연과 인간을 분리하고 인간 또한 여러 하위 시스템으로 나누고, 질병을 외부의 자극에 대한 반응이 적절하지 못하여 초래되는 것으로 보고 질병이 발생되면 시스템 별로 진단하여 치료해 왔다. 반면, 한의학의 경우 자연과 인간을 하나로 보고 인간의 건강을 자연과의 조화로운 상태로 규명하고 질병이 발생하기 전에 건강의 균형을 유지하기 위한 면역 기능을 높이는 예방적 치료를 주로 해왔다. 이러한 인간에 대한 근본적인 접근방법의 차이는 의료 전달체계를 양분화 시키고 상호 의사소통의 어려움을 야기했으나 통합 의료 서비스는 두 가지 의학의 장점을 살리고 최상의 치료 효과를 지향하는 시도라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 특정 질환인 황달에 대해 한의학적 분류 (습증, 열증)에 따른 서양의학에서 사용하는 혈액학적 검사수치를 통계적 분석기법을 사용하여 살펴보고 차이가 있는 수치를 살펴봄으로써 통합의료적 환자 진단과 치료에 적용할 수 있는 접근 방법을 살펴보고자 한다.
