Objectives: This study is to report the clinical effect of oriental medicine on a patient suffering from postabortal syndrome with somatic pain disorder, Qi deficiency and depression. Methods: The patient had a miscarriage by cervical incompetence in 24 weeks' gestation even though she had operated cervical cerclage in 20 weeks' gestation. The patient received herbal medication, acupuncture, moxibustion during 20 days of outpatient treatment. The clinical effects were evaluated through VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) and EPDS (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale Test). Results: The clinical symptoms of somatic pain and Qi deficiency were reduced during the treatment. The EPDS score also decreased from 19 points (high risk level) to 8 points (low risk level). Conclusions: This case study showed that herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion treatment appeared to effectively reduce postabortal syndrome. Since patients previously experienced cervical incompetence tend to have habitual abortion for next pregnancy, further long term observation and preventive treatment are needed in this case for next safe pregnancy and childbirth.

Objectives: This study was performed to analyze the pattern identification in infertile women who participated in infertility support program of Cheongju-city. Methods: The project proceeded from October, 2016 to June 2017. Participants filled in the questionnaire which is composed of 33 symptoms before korean medical treatments. Data were collected from 17 participants. We classified symptoms into six pattern identifications based on previous research and rated each answer to score. Results: Throughout the study, the average age of 26 patients was $34.88{\pm}3.19$ years old, the average height was $162.51{\pm}4.99cm$, and average weight was $58.41{\pm}7.88kg$. The average duration of acupuncture treatment was $121.03{\pm}52.73$ days and the average times of acupuncture treatment was $27.42{\pm}10.77$ times. The average number of herbal medicine treatment was $2.65{\pm}0.69$, the majority of it was Chokyungjongok-tang. After the treatment, 3 patients of infertility became pregnant (11.54%) in twenty six patients. By analyzing pattern identification survey papers, We can classify infertile women into 6 pattern identification based on previous research. The majority of participants was identified as Blood deficiency and the other participants were identified as Kidney deficiency, Liver depression, Dampness-phlegm, Qi deficiency and Static blood in order of priority. Most of patients' pattern identification were combined with two kind of pattern identification. In terms of priority, Liver depression combined with Kidney deficiency, Blood deficiency combined with Kidney deficiency, Liver depression combined with Qi deficiency, Liver depression combined with Dampness-phlegm. Conclusions: After the study we confirmed that Korean traditional medicine is a safe treatment for infertile women. Further clinical study about herbal medicines of patients who have combined pattern identification is needed.

The purpose of this study was to review the research on treating depression in Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) over the last 5 years to set the foundation for further studies. We searched for and analyzed articles about depression in CNKI(China National Knowledge Infrastructure) from January 2010 to December 2014. The results were as follows : The most frequently used diagnostic criteria was CCMD-3(The Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders-3), and the most used evaluation criteria was HAMD(Hamilton Depression Rating Scale). Prescription of decoction of medical herbs was most frequently used as a therapeutic method. Acupuncture, traditional Chinese psychotherapy, and music therapy were also used for some studies. The most frequent TCM Syndrome Differentiation Type was stagnation of liver-QI. For decoction of Chinese herbs, Soyo-san(Xiaoyao-san) and Sihosogan-san(Chaihushugan-san) were most often prescribed, and Bupleuri Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Curcumae Radix, Poria cocos wolf, Angelicae Gigantis Radix, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba were mainly used for medical herbs. BaekHoi(GV20) and Yindang(Ex-HN3) were often used as acupuncture sites. Post-Stroke Depression was the most common case of intercurrent or secondary depression. According to the Jadad Quality Assessment Scale, the quality of the reports was not high as most of the reports had a score of 3 or below. Most systematic reviews on depression were conducted by Chinese researchers. The problem with Clinical research on depression, according to those reviews, was that there were no standardized criteria for the diagnosis and treatment and the trials were usually not randomized nor controlled. We found out there are various clinical methods for treating depression in TCM, and hope that this research could provide the preliminary data for designing and conducting clinical trials for depression.

This article is a study on to which categories of modern diseases blood deficiency pattern types are assigned by reference to modern clinical papers. Clinical papers were searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) from 1994 to 2013. Results are as follows. First, diverse diseases classified in qi-blood depletion pattern and pattern of blood deficiency and wind-dryness are reported and pattern types designated by the name of viscera are the minority. Second, among pattern types in Korean Standard Classification of Diseases(KCD), diseases classified in heart blood deficiency pattern, liver blood deficiency pattern and heart-liver blood deficiency pattern are a few. Third, the level of designation by the combined patterns such as qi deficiency, fluid deficiency, yin deficiency, kidney deficiency, essence deficiency, wind-cold, cold-dampness, dampness-heat, liver hyperactivity, liver depression and static blood is more specific than KCD, which makes pattern types more useful to clinical application. The detailed relation between modern diseases and pattern types can be an another topic.

많은 비만인들은 사회적인 편견과 차별로 인하여 신체상에 대한 불만족, 우울, 불안 및 정서장애를 경험하고 있으며, 더 나아가 건강과 관련된 삶의 질의 저하를 나타내고 있다. 이러한 비만인들의 정신적 고통을 개선하기 위하여 운동요법은 하나의 긍정적인 치료 방법으로 권장되고 있다. 본 연구는 동양의 전통 운동형태 중 기공 운동이 비만인에게 건강관련 삶의 질(SF-36), 자기효능감, 우울, 불안, 피로의 심리적 요인에 어떠한 효과를 나타내는지를 살펴봄으로써 비만인을 위한 운동처방 지침을 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구의 피검자는 S시 G구에 소재한 S대학교 골든웰빙 운동프로그램에 참가하는 50-60대의 성인으로 통제군 16명, 운동군 17명으로 분류하였다. 기공 운동은 12주 동안 주2회의 빈도로 실시하여, 운동 전 후로 건강관련 삶의 질(SF-36), 신체적 자기효능감, 우울, 불안, 피로도 변인을 측정하였다. 12주간의 기공 운동 전 후 건강관련 삶의 질(SF-36)의 8항목 중 감정역할 제한(F=0.187, p=0.668), 정신건강(F=2.043, p=0.163)은 집단 간의 유의한 차이를 나타내지 못하였으나, 신체기능(F=15.151, p<0.001), 신체역할 제한(F=18.278, p<0.001), 사회적 기능(F=4.957, p=0.033), 활력/피로(F=11.485, p=0.002), 신체통증(F=6.623, p=0.015), 일반적인 건강(F=4.498, p=0.042)의 6가지 변인은 집단 간의 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 불안(F=0.631, p=0.433)은 집단 간의 유의한 차이를 나타내지 못하였으나, 신체적 자기효능감(F=6.124, p=0.019), 우울(F=5.109, p=0.031), 피로(F=7.998, p=0.008)의 3가지 변인은 집단 간의 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 비만인에게 있어서 기공 운동은 비록 느린 동작으로 수행되는 낮은 강도의 운동형태일지라도 운동자체가 가져다주는 정신 심리적인 개선효과가 분명하게 나타나는 운동임을 본 연구를 통하여 확인할 수 있었다.
