This study was introduced the short-term effectiveness of Oriental medicine treatment for lumbar disc herniation inpatients. We selected 208 inpatients with a magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)-confirmed lumbar disc herniation since June 2012 until August 2012. Their demographics characterisitics, numeric rating scale(NRS) and Oswestry back-related disability index(ODI) for low or leg pain, lumbar flexion and extension angle were assessed at baseline and when discharged from the hospital. When it measured the straight leg raisingscale(SLR), the low side of the angle was examined. Treatment every patient has received as follow; herbal medicine, bee venom, acupuncture and physical examination, spinal manipulation. NRS of low back pain and leg pain and ODI is $5.6{\pm}2.3$, $4.9{\pm}2.8$ and $45.5{\pm}20.0$, respectively at baseline and $2.8{\pm}1.8$, $2.7{\pm}1.9$ and $27.2{\pm}14.1$, respectively when discharged from the hospital. range of motion(ROM) of lumbar flexion and extension angle and SLR is $70.0{\pm}27.1$, $15.4{\pm}7.2$ and $61.3{\pm}23.0$ respectively at baseline and $80.5{\pm}16.9$, $18.25{\pm}4.1$ and $73.2{\pm}14.0$, respectively when discharged from the hospital. It shows that statistically significant improved(P<0.001). Furthermore, regarding patient satisfaction with the treatment, excellent(33.7%), good(55.4%), normal(10.4%), poor(0.5%), it suggests that most patients(89%) satisfied with the treatment.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medical treatments on idiopathic bilateral strabismus. Methods : We treated a 43-year-old male idiopathic bilateral strabismus patient who was told to wait without a prescription as there was no problem in intraocular pressure test, fundus test, brain computed tomography, brain magnetic resonance imaging and angiography test, and cerebrospinal fluid test. The patient was admitted to Cheonan Korean medical hospital for 3 months to get Korean medical treatments including acupuncture, electroacupuncture, vapor treatment, pharmacopuncture therapy. The degree of improvement in idiopathic bilateral strabismus was determined by the objective measures of internal and external rotation disorders, and the patient's subjective opinions on eye pain and double vision discomfort. Results : The results of this patient showed distinct improvements on objective measures of internal and external rotation disorders in both eyes. Distance from the outer corner of the right eye when abducted decreased from 7mm to 0mm, and left eye decreased from 7mm to 0mm. Distance from the inner corner of the right eye when adducted decreased from 5mm to 0mm, and left eye decreased from 4mm to 0mm. In addition, eye pain decreased from 10 to 0 and diplopia decreased from 10 to 2 according to the patient's subjective opinions. Conclusions : This study shows the possibility that such medical treatment in Koreans can improve the rare idiopathic bilateral perspective among strabismus patients.

자화전이영상 (MTI)은 무릎의 연골조직, 활액, 연대 등에 있는 거대분자에 붙어 분자운동에 제한을 받은 수소와 비교적 자유로운 물 분자의 수소가 두 가지 자화 상태로 서로 교환되고 있는 상태에서 한쪽 자화상태를 RF 펄스를 사용하여 포화시키면 다른 자화 상태가 교환 상황에 따라 그 신호강도가 달라지면서 영상의 대조도를 이룬다. 교차이완은 수소의 T2 이완시간이 다르면서 생기는 두 스핀 풀로 모델화하여 물 분자와 거대분자 사이의 쌍극자들의 상호교환 뿐만 아니라 물분자와 거대분자의 수소 화학교환으로 설명된다. 이에 의학영상에서 가장 필수적 요소인 신호강도와 대조도를 조절하는 능력으로서 양성자 밀도와 T2 강조 무릎영상을 획득하여 비정상적 조직과 그 변화 위에 시퀀스와 더불어 무릎 조인트의 중간신호들에 의해 무릎 연골주위의 다른 조직과의 신호강도 차이를 더욱 높이기도 한다. 또한 지방억제 기술은 조직 대조도를 증대시키고 화학전이 인공물을 제거할 뿐 아니라 움직임과 관련한 고스트 인공물을 감소시킨다. 이와 같은 지방 포화억제는 위상감각 방법 (Phase Sensitive Method)에서 물과 지방의 세차운동 주파수에 차이를 나타낸다. 본 연구에서 위상감각 방법은 Larmor 주파수 차이를 직접 사용하기 보다는 그 주파수 차이결과를 축적하여 생기는 위상 차이를 보고자 하였다. 자화전이영상이 어떻게 작동하는가는 무릎조직의 자화전이(MT)에 대한 정량적 모델로 유도되는 임상적 증거에서 주어지지만 그 자화전이 효과를 설명하는 수학적 공식화는 전방 십자형 인대 (Anterior Cruciate Ligament)파열과 관절간연골 파열과 같은 무릎관절질환을 평가하는 데 적용하였고, 자화전이 포화 효과의 계산은 MT 펄스에 의한 신호강도에 상대적 감소를 정량적으로 측정하는 자화전이률에 의해 주어졌다.糖) 및 이성화당(異性化糖)의 개발생산(開發生産)이 시급(時急)하며 이런 감미원(甘味源) 생산공장(生産工場)의 대규모화(大規模化)로 경제적(經濟的) 양산(量産)을 서둘러야 될 줄 생각(生覺)한다. 우선적(優先的)으로 소요(所要)의 효소생산(酵素生産)에 대(對)한 개발연구(開發硏究)가 앞서야 하며, 이어서 전분(澱粉)으로부터 이성화당(異性化糖)에 이르기까지 단계적(段階的) 효소처리공정(酵素處理工程)의 확립(確立)과 새로운 공정(工程)의 개발연구(開發硏究)가 이루어져야 하겠다. 나아가서 보다 더 경제적(經濟的) 감미료(甘味料)의 생산(生産)과 생산공정(生産工程)의 능율화(能率化)를 위(爲)하여 전분당화(澱粉糖化) 및 이성화(異性化) 공정(工程)의 연속화(連續化)가 필연적(必然的)이며, 이에 소요(所要) 및 불용성(不溶性) 효소(酵素)의 생산공정(生産工程)도 연구(硏究)되어야 한다.>$16.8{\sim}30.1$ kcal/mole의 범위 안에 있으며 ginsenoside-Re 및 $-Rg_1$이 $ginsenoside-Rb_1,\;-Rb_2$, -Rc 및 -Rd 보다 훨씬 높으므로 troil saponin이 diol saponin보다 온도(溫度)의 영향(影響)을 더 많이 받고 있었다. 마. total ginsenosides의 분해반응시(分解反應時)의 활성화(活性化)에너지($E_a$)는 17.7kcal/mole이었고 분해속도상수(分解速度常數)의 온도의존성(溫度依存性)은 $k=4.574{\times}10^8{\exp}(-8898.8/T)$의 관계식(關係式)으로 표시(表示)할 수 있다rc}C,\;30^{\circ}C,\;45^{\circ}C$ 별로 각 fine spirit에 oak chip을 넣고 숙성시킨

Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the effects between the degree of herniated intervertebral lumbar disc (HIVD) at L4-5 level and improvement of low back pain treated by Korean Medicine therapy. Methods 567 patients who received inpatient treatment from May 2014 to December 2015 in the Daejeon-Jaseng of Korean Medicine Hospital were divided into 6 groups by the degree of HIVD at L4-5 level confirmed with a Lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging. All patients received a combination of treatment including acupunture, chuna manual therapy, pharmacopunture, herbal medication. They were compared and analyzed on the basis of improvement between measuring Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), EuroQol-5 Dimension Index (EQ5D Index) as they were hospitalized and as they were discharged. The statistically significance was evaluated by SPSS 23.0 for windows. Results After treatment, Normal stage on Intervertebral Lumbar Disc at L4-5 level group's Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), EuroQol-5 Dimension Index (EQ5D Index) improvement was $1.30{\pm}1.62$, $4.52{\pm}11.82$ and $0.04{\pm}0.11$ respectively. Bulging group's improvement was $3.25{\pm}2.81$, $8.28{\pm}13.02$ and $0.09{\pm}0.17$ respectively. Spinal canal occupying ratio (SOR) less than 20 group's improvement was $2.15{\pm}1.92$, $11.79{\pm}17.81$ and $0.13{\pm}0.23$ respectively. SOR 20 to less than 40 stage group's improvement was $2.13{\pm}1.92$. $10.79{\pm}15.93$ and $0.10{\pm}0.26$ respectively. SOR 40 to less than 60 group's improvement was $2.16{\pm}2.24$, $9.80{\pm}16.62$ and $0.15{\pm}0.25$ respectively. Surgery group's improvement was $2.47{\pm}2.21$, $11.64{\pm}18.53$ and $0.15{\pm}0.27$ respectively (p<0.03). But there was no statistically significance between 6 group's improvement after treatment (p>0.05). Conclusions After inpatient treatment by Korean Medicine therapy, Most patient's pain, disability and Health Related Quality of Life was improved significantly. But there was no statistically correlation between the degree of HIVD at L4-5 level and improvement of low back pain. So We think that future research of higher quality and correct statistics shall be necessary.
