Objectives : The purpose of this study is to review laser acupuncture studies to find possibility for applying high intensity laser to acupuncture and moxibustion treatment. Methods : Searching papers was performed using search engines of five electronic databases, including Pubmed, Thomson ISI, EMBASE, Sciencedirect, and EBSCO, from inception to May 2011 without language limitation. Inclusion criteria were clinical studies with human, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), case-control studies, and case reports. Selecting papers was performed with titles and abstracts in first step, scrutinize full text in second step, and then the extrated data was analyzed by two authors independently. The methodological quality for RCTs was evaluated using Jadad's scale. Results : Total 8 papers, (3 RCTs, 5 controlld studies, and 1 case reports), were finally selected. The study dealt with surgical laser, argon and $CO_2$ laser was one for each, with GaAs laser was two, and with new semiconductor laser, GaN, were four. The output range was from 110 mW to 15 W. The study diseases were alcohol addiction, knee osteoarthritis, bronchopneumonia and asthma for children, and circulation. All studies reported positive effect. The methodological quality in all RCTs was low because of below 3 points and all studies had few subject numbers. Conclusions : We suggest that high intensity laser can be applied to acupuncture and moxibustion. Further rigorous and well-designed study will be needed for various disease. The oriental medical society needs to take active measures to study and clinical application of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment with high intensity laser.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combined therapy with Banhasasim-tang and conventional treatment for atrophic Gastritis. Methods: The study collected data of clinical studies of combined therapy with Banhasasim-tang and conventional treatment for atrophic gastritis. Electronic databases were used, including PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, Wanfang, CINII, J-stage, NDSL, and OASIS. The main search terms included such as "Atrophic Gastritis", "Banhasasim-tang", "BanXia Xiexin Tang". This study only included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that adopted combined therapy with Banhasasim-tang and conventional treatment for atrophic gastritis. Results: A total of 18 RCTs were selected. They all adopted combined therapy with Banhasasim-tang and conventional treatment for atrophic gastritis. In all the studies, the intervention group significantly improved the score of effective rate, and in the 8 studies, Hp negative conversion rate was significantly improved when Banhasasim-tang was taken. Conclusion: Through the analysis of 18 RCTs, we found Banhasasim-tang combined with conventional therapy were more effective in the positive performance of atrophic gastritis than conventional therapy single contribution. However, due to the low quality of the selected studies and the lack of endoscopy, biopsy, follow-up observation, so there is a slight insufficient to prove its conclusion. Therefore, we hope that more systematic and diverse clinical studies will be conducted.

이 논문에서는 고차원 색인 구조인 CIR-트리를 위한 효율적인 벌크로딩 알고리즘을 설계하고 구현한다. 벌크로딩 기법은 대량의 고차원 데이타가 색인 구성 시 함께 주어지는 경우 색인의 구성을 빠르게 하고 구축한 색인의 검색 성능을 향상시킨다. CIR-트리는 반드시 필요한 차원만 이용해서 비단말 노드의 엔트리를 구성하기 때문에 엔트리 크기가 일정하지 않다. 이 특성은 비단말 노드의 분기율을 높이고 탐색 성능을 향상시키는 효과가 있다. 기존에 다차원 및 고차원 색인구조를 위한 벌크로딩 기법이 제안되었지만 이러한 CIR-트리의 특징을 제대로 살릴 수 있는 방법은 없다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 벌크로딩 알고리즘을 개선하면서 CIR-트리의 특징을 효과적으로 색인 구성에 반영할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 이를 BADA-III의 하부 저장 시스템인 MiDAS-III에서 구현하고 다양한 실험을 통해 그 성능을 입증한다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to explore the trends of acupoints used for lumbar HIVD(Herniated Intervertebral Disc) and treatment and anatomical location of Hwatahyeopcheock. Methods : We searched the latest clinical studies on acupuncture treatment for lumbar HIVD(Herniated Intervertebral Disc) through domestic studies search. To analyze the data, we categorized them by year and article types of literatures and investigated often-used acupoints and acupuncture types for treatment by reading treatment part of every paper searched. Domestic and Chinese literatures related to Hwatahyeopcheock were also studied for its anatomical location. Results : Total 50 articles are searched and local points are more used than distant points for lumbar HIVD(Herniated Intervertebral Disc) and most of them showed curative effects. Back-su points were used the most and Hwatahyeopcheock use accounted for one-third of the articles. In the articles of Hwatahyeopcheock use, except for one, patients complained of both low back pain and radiating pain, and all of them showed positive results after treatment. Conclusions : Back su point is considered to have its meaning as physical region where patients feel pain including herniated disc level rather than the effect meridian system makes. Through document research and meridian muscle theory, we found that Hwatahyeopcheock means vertebral facet joint, intervertebral foramen and surrounding muscle, nerve, blood vessel and related spinal nerves.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate (using a systematic review) the effect of Banhasasim-tang in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced symptoms. Method: A systematic review was conducted to identify the effect of Banhasasim-tang for chemotherapy-induced symptoms. Electronic databases were used, including such as PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, Wanfang, CiNii, J-STAGE, NDSL, and OASIS. Among others, the main search terms included "cancer", "Banhasasim-tang", "Banxia Xiexin Tang", and "Hangeshashin-to". This study only included randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Results: A total of 14 RCTs were selected. They all identified the effect of Banhasasim-tang in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In addition, five of the studies evaluated the preventive effect of Banhasasim-tang on the symptoms. Conclusion: An analysis of 14 RCTs showed that Banhasasim-tang for chemotherapy-induced symptoms might be effective not only for treatment but also for prevention. However, due to the low quality and number of the selected original articles, the significance of this conclusion is somewhat limited. It is hoped that more systematic and rigorous clinical trials will be conducted.
