Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate effects of electroacupuncture and Cervi Pantortichum Cornu pharmacopuncture on pain and nerve regeneration after crush injury of sciatic nerve in rats. Methods: We divided the subjects into 5 groups: control group, acupuncture treated group, electroacupuncture treated group, Cervi Pantortichum Cornu pharmacopuncture treated group, electroacupuncture and Cervi Pantortichum Cornu pharmacopuncture group. Hot plate test and degree of Substance P antibody in each group were observed at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th day. Sciatic function index and change of BDNF immunoreactivity had been estimated at the 7th, 14th, 21st day respectively. Atrophy of the gastrocnemius at the 21st day was observed. Results: All the experimental groups showed significant changes in hot plate test, degree of Substance P antibody, sciatic function index and change of BDNF immunoreactivity compared with control group. Especially, when electroacupuncture and Cervi Pantortichum Cornu pharmacopuncture used together, results were more effective than other groups. Recovery of the gastrocnemius was also the same. Conclusions: It is suggested that electroacupuncture and Cervi Pantortichum Cornu pharmacopuncture may play a significant role on pain decrease and nerve regeneration after crush injury of sciatic nerve in rats and these two treatments could be more effective when used together.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report that a patient with facial nerve paralysis caused by traumatic temporal bone fracture was improved by non-surgical treatment. Methods : We treated this patient with electric acupuncture, physical therapy and herbal medication. We evaluated the state of improvement by House-Brackmann facial grading scale, Yanagihara`s unweighted grading system, DITI(digital infrared thermographic imaging) and EMG(electromyography). DITI was measured twice before treatment and after 25 weeks ; EMG before treatment and after 12 weeks. Results : The subject was improved in estimation by House-Brackmann facial grading scale, Yanagihara`s unweighted grading system, DITI and EMG. Conclusions : Although this case was supposed to take surgical treatment, non-surgical treatment(electric acupuncture, physical therapy and herbal medication) was effective to improve many symptoms of facial nerve paralysis. We expect we can use non-surgical treatments more broadly for diseases which can be taken only by surgery with subsequent studies

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effects of Neutral Eohyeol(Yuxue) herbal acupuncture and Dangkisoo-san(Dangguixu-san) on fracture healing in rats. Methods : We divided the subjects into 5 groups : normal, control with no treatment, Sample Ⅰ taken with Dangkisoo-san(Dangguixu-san), Sample Ⅱ taken with Neutral Eohyeol(Yuxue) herbal acupuncture and sample Ⅲ taken with Neutral Eohyeol(Yuxue) herbal acupuncture and Dangkisoo-san(Dangguixu-san) groups. We induced penetrating fracture on femur in control, sample Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups. And after serum T-ALP, serum osteocalcin, histological changes, and the degree of TGF-β1 in each group were observed at the 7th day and at the 14th day respectively. Results : All the sample groups showed significant changes in serum T-ALP, histological observation and TGF-beta 1 compared with control group. Especially sample Ⅲ was more effective than other groups in fracture healing. However, serum osteocalcin insignificantly increased at the 14th day. It seemed that 14 day was too short to evaluate osteocalcin. Conclusions : It is suggested that Neutral Eohyeol(Yuxue) herbal acupuncture and Dangkisoo-san(Dangguixu-san) may play a significant role in fracture healing and these two treatments could be more effective when used together

Objectives :Sling exercise therapy(SET) is a system for spinal muscle stabilization and strengthening using fixed string and mobile band. Nowadays, patients with spinal disorders are spreading more and more because of many working conditions. At the same time, non-operation therapies including SET come to have important meaning from a viewpoint of prevention and treatment of spinal disorders. Methods : The subjects for this study are 32 patients suffering lumbar pain in our clinic. They were divided into two groups(Control group and SET group). All the patients were taken basic treatments including acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and physical therapy. The subjects in SET group were taught special sling program for pain. Every subjects visited 12 times. And they were estimated by VAS, flexibility index and disability index(Oswestry Score) 3 times(before, middle and final of this study). Results : In the above index, the score were decreased after treatments. Of course, patients in both groups were improved. Especially, subjects in SET group were satisfied with pain relief. Conclusions : These results suggest that SET may be used for spinal disorders for pain management and muscle strengthening as an essential treatment

Weight change in the postpartum period is a dominant concern of new mothers recently. Postpartum weight retention has important public health implication as well, because retention of gestational weight can be a significant contributor to long-term obesity and associated health risks. This study was designed to collect the latest papers and find more effective approach for postpartum obesity. Methods We searched 81 papers in English from PubMed and selected 41 in favor of our study. In addition to that, we searched 11 papers in Korean and 2 papers in Chinese. Results are as follows. Results and Conclusions These papers show that many different factors were related with postpartum weight retention. This study suggests that moderate weight gain during pregnancy is important to prevent postpartum obesity. Adequate caloric restriction and exercise are needed to prevent from postpartum weight retention. In addition, husbands, some relatives and friends are primary sources for postpartum female to lose and keep up weight. The effect of weight loss associated with lactation significantly differs from paper to paper. There are not many treatments for postpartum weight retention. So, more effective treatments using Korean traditional medicine must be improved even from now on. This study can offer many ideas to treat postpartum weight retention.

Objective This study was designed to collect latest papers and to find more effective approach for Postmenopausal Women Methods We searched 85 papers in English from Pubmed(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and selected 40 in favor of our study. In addition to that, we searched 24 papers in Korean from Kiss(www.kiss.kstudy.com) and Medric(www.medric.or.kr). Results are as follows. Results and conclusion Many studies showed that postmenopausal obesity causes cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, breast cancer and decrease in immunity. To prevent and treat obesity, many studies suggested that dietary and exercise are most effective methods. If needed, medicine and hormone therapy may be recommended as next steps. But, Herb medication and acupuncture are not used yet as postmenopausal obesity treatment around the world. Postmenopausal obesity is significant, resulting in many medical problems. We hope more effective treatment based on these studies and combined with Korean traditional medicine could be developed after.

Objectives : Ohyaksungi-san(Wuyaoshunqi-san) has been used for many years as a treatment for sciatica in oriental medicine. And electrical acupuncture also has been used as a treatment for sciatica in recent study. By the way, it is hard to find the study that apply two treatments in the same time. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of Ohyaksungi-san(Wuyaoshunqi-san) and electrical acupuncture on nerve regeneration after crush injury in rat sciatic nerve in the same time. Methods : This study was designed with 4 subgroups to evaluate the effects of Ohyaksungi-san(Wuyaoshunqi-san) and electrical acupuncture on nerve regeneration. As control groups, group Ⅰ has not been treated during 3 weeks after crush injury in rat sciatic nerve. Group Ⅱ has been treated Ohyaksungi-san(Wuyaoshunqi-san), Group Ⅲ has been treated electrical acupuncture, and Group Ⅳ has been treated both during 3 weeks. This study has been estimated sciatic function index and change of GAP-43 immunoreactivity about sciatic nerve regeneration. Results : 1. The test for nerve regeneration had significantly good result of sciatic function index in the experimental groups as compared with control groups(p<.05). Especially, Group Ⅳ has the greatest result of sciatic function index. 2. GAP-43, the marker of nerve regeneration, more increased in the experimental groups as compared with control groups. Especially, Group Ⅳ has the greatest result of GAP-43. Conclusions : Ohyaksungi-san(Wuyaoshunqi-san) and electrical acupuncture have good effects on nerve regeneration after crush injury in rat sciatic nerve.
