Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Chungju City from July to December 2021. Methods: The authors processed and analyzed the epidemiological analysis report written by researcher. The estimated reproduction rate was analyzed using web-based software that calculates time-varying reproduction numbers. The results were analyzed through univariate multiple regression analysis, with a maximum significance level set at 0.05. Results: During the study period, a total of 1,188 patients were identified, with 7.9% of them progressing to a severe status. The maximum reproduction rate recorded was 3.48. Factors associated with the transition to a severe status included the presence of symptoms at the time of diagnosis, lack of vaccination, and belonging to the age group over 40. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be strongly supported that the measures implemented in Chungju City, such as social distancing, vaccination, and preemptive diagnostic tests, were appropriate. Furthermore, it demonstrates that Chungju City effectively managed the impact of COVID-19. Korean Medicine Doctors made significant contributions to the epidemiological investigations of COVID-19. To comprehensively manage infectious diseases, it is crucial to provide administrative and legal support and encourage active research to expand the role of Korean Medicine Doctors in this area.

Objectives: To evaluate the degree of satisfaction about a specialized treatment type smoking cessation camp conducted by a Korean medicine hospital. Methods: The subjects of this study were 112 patients who enrolled smoking cessation camp from September 2015 to December 2017 at ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Korean medicine hospital of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ University. Patients received Korean medical treatment, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, counseling, education, stretching, hand and foot baths, and hiking. Each patient filled in a satisfaction survey after completion of the camp. Results: Drug satisfaction of the nicotine patch was $8.0{\pm}1.9$ points, nicotine gum was $7.5{\pm}2.6$ points, Cheongpye-tang was $7.8{\pm}2.5$ points, and Bopye-tang was $7.6{\pm}2.8$ points. Acupuncture was the most favorable treatment among the 12 programs, followed by education and herbal medicine. Confidence after the camp was $8.8{\pm}1.4$ points compared to $6.6{\pm}2.4$ points before the camp. An appropriate period for the camp was 7 days (40%). Conclusions: After participating in the smoking cessation camp, most patients feel considerable satisfaction. Further study is required.

Objectives: To evaluate the reliability of a pattern identification tool for benign prostatic hyperplasia and to examine the relationship between pattern identification tool readings and IPSS and uroflowmetry. Methods: We analyzed 56 patients diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia from December 27th, 2017 to December 26th, 2018 by two different Korean medical doctors and followed with a pattern identification tool and by IPSS and uroflowmetry. One week later, the patients were retested to analyze the reliability of the pattern identification tool, determined with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) using the test-retest method. The correlation between IPSS and uroflowmetry was analyzed with the Pearson coefficient. Result: The reliability of the pattern identification tool for benign prostatic hyperplasia was evaluated as “poor agreement beyond chance” (ICC=0.349). The reliability of each pattern identification score was evaluated as “good” for Yang Deficiency of Kidney, Yin Deficiency of Kidney, Deficiency of Middle Qi, and Dampness-heat of Lower Energizer. The internal consistency was evaluated as “good” for Yang Deficiency of Kidney, Yin Deficiency of Kidney, and Dampness-heat of Lower Energizer, and as “excellent” for Deficiency of Middle Qi. The correlation between pattern identification and IPSS was evaluated as a “moderate positive correlation” for all pattern identifications. The average flow rate and maximum flow rate using uroflowmetry was evaluated with “moderate negative correlation” for Yang Deficiency of Kidney and Dampness-heat of Lower Energizer. Conclusion: The reliability of a pattern identification tool for benign prostatic hyperplasia was evaluated as “poor agreement beyond chance.” Further research is needed.

Objective : The aim of this study is to investigate the features of clinical trial which used symptom differentiation on cancer patients Method : Electronic databases including Ovid-Medline, Ovid-EMBASE, and Cochrane library were searched. Search terms incorporating the concepts of cancer, herbal medicine, clinical trial were used. Articles described using symptom differentiation in methods were selected. Results : Twelve studies used symptom differentiation for prescribing herbal medicine to cancer patients. A total of 36 symptom differentiation were used. The kind of the herbal medicines was varied as much as the kind of symptom differentiation. Conclusion : Most of herbal medicines used for cancer patients focused on quality of life or adverse events rather than tumor size. Symptom differentiation and herbal medicine used in selected studies were too diverse to categorize. To use standardized symptom differentiation, symptom differentiation instrument should be developed and reliability test and validity test are needed.

Objective : The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between Yangsaeng and general health status. Methods : In this study, we used data from the combined 2008-2010 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KNHANES). Mental Yangsaeng was measured by stress recognition and depression. Food Yangsaeng was measured by breakfast skipping and mixed grain diet. Life style Yangsaeng was measured by sleeping time and working pattern. Exercise Yangsaeng was measured by walking and exercise. We defined general health status as EQ-5Dindex, EQ-5Dvas, frequency and day of lying in a sickbed in last one month and activity limitation. Results : Mental Yangsaeng, food Yangsaeng, life style Yangsaeng and exercise Yangsaeng have 8 factors. Most of factors significant correlation with EQ-5Dindex, EQ-5Dvas, frequency and day of lying in a sickbed in last one month and activity limitation.

Objectives: This report aims to present the case of Korean medicine therapies including Samilsingi-hwan on recurrent hyponatremia in the elderly. Method: A laboratory test was conducted on a patient with general weakness, anorexia, and excess salivation. The patient was diagnosed with hyponatremia and so received intravenous fluid treatment. Results: We continued fluid treatment until electrolyte levels of sodium returned to normal, but the levels gradually dropped repeatedly when the fluid treatment was discontinued. After changing the herbal medicine to Samilsingi-hwan, recurrence of hyponatremia was not seen, even after stopping the fluid treatment. Clinical symptoms also improved during 35 days of hospitalization. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that Samilsingi-hwan may be effective in recurrent hyponatremia in the elderly. Further research is needed.
