Objectives The purpose of this review was to analyze the research trends in clinical research related to pelvic malposition published in Korean medicine journals. Methods We searched articles in Korean databases (OASIS, NDSL, RISS, and KTKP), and sorted the articles by publishing date, pelvic malposition type, field of study, and measurement index. Results 1. 25 original articles and 9 case report articles were reviewed. 2. In recent years, this topic has been studied more frequently, with an increasing number of original articles published. 3. 16 articles analyzed pelvic malposition type. And half of the articles focused on ilium. 4. The original articles have figured out the correlation between pelvic malposition measurement indices and other measurement indices or diseases. 5. Treatment tools, such as chuna therapy, the mckenzie method, devices for correcting malposition, acupuncture were used in the case report articles. 6. 29 measurement indices, such as Ferguson's angle, Ilium shadow measurement, and Iliac height difference were used. Conclusions According to the literature, pelvic malposition is related to other diseases and measurement indices, and manual medicine on pelvic malposition can be effective. However, due to the lack of sufficient empirical evidence from medical articles to support this, further clinical research should be conducted.

Objectives Two conflicting readings of "Donguisusebowon" so far have been presented that Sasang Constitutional Medicine inherited the traditional Five Elements theory and that it was a new perspective on its own right. The main purpose of this paper is to review the theoretical ground of Sasang Constitutional Medicine to see whether it has inherited the Traditional Korean Medicine, and show that it had been developed as an original view independent of the Five Elements theory. Methods To do this, I inquired into the theoretical background of Sasang Constitutional Medicine as well as its philosophical premises and its leading ideas. Results and Conclusions As a result, I have found that Sasang Constitutional Medicine is an original medical theory developed in empirical terms on its own right, divorced from the transcendental view of the Five Elements theory, while borrowing some concepts from I-Ching and Neo-Confucianism only for technical tools. In short, Sasang Constitutional Medicine may well be put as calling for a reappraisal of the Han-medical and Confucian accounts of human being, and a transition from speculative method based on the Five Elements theory to a verifiable empirical method. In this vein, my reading of Sasang Constitutional Medicine in empirical perspective may well be appraised as presenting a new way to further inquiries into the theoretical nature of it, and to getting itself across with Western medicine as well.

Introduction Chronic idiopathic urticaria in patients diagnosed with an unfavorable pattern in Soyangin and Taeumin based on Sasang medicine showed a significant improvement after herbal medicine treatment. Methods The patients had treatment with both herbal medication and antihistamine. We checked the patients' cutaneous manifestation, original symptoms, and the number of antihistamine doses in each visit. We evaluated the medical records retrospectively. Results After one month of treatment, the patients showed cutaneous manifestation relief. Each patient reduced and withdrew antihistamine at four moths and eight months respectively, and the cutaneous manifestation did not recur. We maintained the herbal medicine prescription until the origin symptoms improved. Throughout the subsequent follow-up, the patients showed both urticaria and the original symptoms in good condition without treatment. Discussion Sasang medicine treatment can be an effective treatment for chronic idiopathic urticaria and long-term management is necessary for an unfavorable pattern which can take more than 6 months.

This paper is study on Dong-Eue-Bo-Gam(東醫寶鑑) Dong-Eue-Bo-Gam(單方門)that is written by Heo-Joon. When Heo-Joon worte Dong-Eue-Bo-Gam(東醫寶鑑) between 1596 and 1610, it was the time for the people's healthy to be threatened by all kinds of infections and malnutrition. Dong-Eue-Bo-Gam(東醫寶鑑) compiled Chinese medical books and our medical books that still exists systematically. Especially there was Dan-Bang-Mun(單方門), medical art that is to use only one herb, at the end of each chapter for the people to treat disease. There was Tang-Aek-Pyun the end of Dong-Eue-Bo-Gam(東醫寶鑑). In this part, as it says herbs in rural areas were written in details, it was easy for everyone to get herbs to prevent any disease and to treat their sickness. That's why I'd like to succeed to our senior doctors' spirit for the medicine. So I decided to study Tang-Aek-Pyun that is based on Dan-Bang-Mun in Dong-Eue-Bo-Gam(東醫寶鑑) and many herbs that refer to the 4th of Gang-Je-By-Geup(廣濟秘笈). Medicine that was introduced in Dan-Bang-Mun(單方門) was 860 kinds of medicine. Among them, I choose about 3 kinds of medicine that was used the most frequently.

Objectives : By understanding the basic information as a text about the original script, composition and characteristic of "Shanghanlunzhujie" which is included in "Uibang-yuchwi", We are evaluating value and significance of the text today. Methods : First of all, We are finding what the original script is through comparing different editions. Then by concrete analysis about texts, We are going to determine which standards affected "Shanghanlunzhujie" and "Uibang-yuchwi", and which elements included in those texts. In addition, We are figuring out what the characteristics are in the those texts roughly. Through this consideration, We could evaluate value and significance of the text. Results & Conclusions : In the course of research, We found that this publication deserves attention in the hereditary history of the "Shanghanlun" editions. First, the version of the "Shanghanlunzhujie" in the "Uibang-yuchwi" is surely the Won(元) edition. Based on recent research findings, the Won edition is the earliest version of Chengwuji's "Zhujieshanghanlun". Not only does it contain the original contents, it restored the deleted annotations of the Song edition, constituting the most accurate "Shanghanlun" edition closest to the original form of today.

The abnormal meat could caused by abscess, fibrosis and granuloma in the region of the neck by adverse effect of vaccination or antibiotic injection under swine practice. In this study, the incidence of abnormal meat due to antibiotics injection was investigated using marbofloxacin from different manufacturers. To evaluate the incidence of abnormal meat via antibiotic treatment, a total of 440 pigs with the age of 140~150 days old were selected. Two hundred of pigs were assigned as a control group and 2 mL of saline was inoculated daily for three days. Two hundred forty of pigs were used as treatment group and further divided into 6 groups, consisting of 16% of original marbofloxacin treated, 10% of original marbofloxacin treated and 4 different kinds of generic marbofloxacin treated groups respectively. When test animals were slaughtered, incidence, type and size of induced abnormal meat were recorded. In the result of this study, statistical analysis found significantly lower incidence of abnormal meat formation was in 16% original marbofloxacin treated groups compared to the other tested groups (P<0.05). In the summary, antibiotic treatment could produce abnormal meat formation but the 16% of original marbofloxacin had the most minimal abnormal meat formation effect.

Purpose: We investigated a statistical difference of tibial-articular surface (TAS) angles between radiographs of standing ankle anteroposterior (AP) and whole lower extremity view, and evaluated whether the tibial axis obtained from the standing ankle AP view reflects the original mechanical axis of lower extremity. Materials and Methods: Both the standing ankle AP and whole lower extremity view were taken from 60 legs of 30 healthy volunteers without a history of ankle surgery or deformity of lower limb. To determine the tibial axis, Takakura's and Hintermann's method were employed in the standing ankle AP view. To compare these results with the original TAS angle, ANOVA and multiple comparison test were used. Results: The mean TAS angle was 88.3 degrees(from hip joint to ankle), 89.5 degrees (from knee joint to ankle), 88.5 degrees (Takakura's method), and 90.2 degrees(Hintermann's method). Although there was a statistical significance (p=0.000) between these results, Takakura's method had no significant difference, compared to the results of whole extremity view by the multiple comparison test. Conclusion: The tibial axis obtained by Takakura's method reflects the original mechanical axis of lower extremity. When a surgical procedure is planned, however, it is necessary to consider that the ankle radiographs do not provide any information on the proximal deformity without the whole lower extremity view.

Background Neoplastic vessels tend to proliferate on the surface of malignant lesions in the aerodigestive tract. So, superficial malignant lesions can be detected earlier by enhancing mucosal vascular clarity. To enhance mucosal vascular clarity on endoscopic image, we developed an image processing algorithm of RGB (red-green-blue) channel substitution image (CSI). Methods Each pixel in original white light image (WLI) has its own value of red, green and blue channel. Various combinations of RGB channel substitution was tried on original WLI. Results To make superficial blood vessels darker than brighter background mucosa, in the CSI algorithm, RGB value in each pixel of WLI is substituted; red value to green one, green value to blue one. There was a good contrast between superficial mucosal vessels and background brighter mucosa in the CSI image. Conclusion By RGB CSI algorithm, WLI could be successfully converted to new images with enhanced mucosal vascular clarity. Using RGB CSI algorithm could provide added vascular visibility on original WLI.
