This Study aims at looking into the use of oriental medical services in treating hypertension. The first objective to be explored through this study is the morbidity caused by the disease, classifying them by age, gender, and occupation. The second is to determine the regular use of anti-hypertensive medicine and their efficacy in controlling blood-pressure. The third is to investigate the use-rate and satisfaction of oriental medical service. 838 households across the country, were asked to answer questionnaires for the period of time from Apr. to Jun. 2005. The conclusion from the survey can be summarized as following. The age of which the first medical diagnosis of hypertension were made showed lower in males, those with higher education and income. The study showed females were more active in blood-pressure control, with their frequent monitoring of blood-pressure for the past year. With age, people in under 50 age group proved to be less active. The management of high blood pressure was more effective in group with regular dosage compared to group with irregular use of anti-hypertensive medication, but their difference was minimal. Also, group with no medication showed signs of blood-pressure control. The use of oriental medical service for the past year, were more frequent in groups with lower education, either low or high income, old age, females and occupations in agriculture, forestry and fishing industry. Results were similar in both general population and high blood-pressure patient group. Females, people over 51 years old and with lower education showed more intentions in utilizing oriental medical services in the future. Results were similar in both general population and high blood-pressure patient group. It is necessary to offer a more accurate information on oriental medical treatments. Also, a systematic reform to reduce the patient's share of the treatment cost, as well as, heightening public awareness on the infirmity of present blood-pressure management system is crucial.

Nowadays because of social and structural complexities, patients in the field of Psychoneurosis tend to increase gradually. So it needs to be diagnosed and treated for neuroses regardless of Oriental-Western Medicine. The category about Psychosomatic disease of Psychosomatic Medicine which is studied at present, nevertheless, is seen to focused on the limited range that called neurotic state and studies of Psychosomatic Medicine is divided into the field of psychology, philosophy and medicine. To set up the foundation for the course of Psychosomatic Medicine and medical solution of Psychosomatic relation, I have considered, compared and contrasted between Stress theory and Seven modes of emotion theory which is well thought to reflect the Psychosomatic Medicine and I came to the conclusion as follows; 1. Stress theory has commons with Seven modes of emotion theory in mechanism and notion. First, Both-Stress and Seven modes of emotion theory- explain the changes of function in body. second, they both are the internal reactions. third, they bring about the morphologic disease directly through the functional path change. Finally, the reaction is not partial but general and synthetic. Four similarities above show that two theories are identical with respect to the important characteristics and mechanism. 2. Compared with Seven modes of emotion theory, Stress theory concentrates on only anger, anxiety, surprise out of Seven emotion modes and that was the part to be studied from now on. 3. Studies on Stress and Seven modes of emotion theory is the ones which makes clear the prospect and course of Psychosomatic Medicine. They provide the clue that can explain the relationship of mind and disease, emotion and body, and already established theory. So they developed the medical science from treatment-centered to prevention- centered.

A study on the antitoxic effects of Flos Carthami against Cadmium Chloride Toxicity in Live and Kidney of Rats. This study was performed to find out the effect of Flos Carthami against Cadmium toxicity. The experimental rats were divided into 5 groups such as control group, Cadmium alone treatment group, three simultaneous treatment groups of Flos Carthami and cadmium. Rat were given pellets administration with three dosage of Flos Carthami such as 4mg/kg body weight for four weeks. The results were summarized as follows on: 1. The simultaneously administration of Flos Carthami and cadmium significantly more decreased cadmium concentration in liver and kidney tissues compared to the administration of cadmium alone. (p<0.05) 2. The simultaneously administration of Flos Carthami and cadmium significantly more increased metallothionein concentration in liver and kidney tissues compared to administration alone (p<0.05)

For the Old Age, the old health and disease are not a future problem any more but present one. In many developed countries they try to make a many-sided research about the old health, senility disease. But in spite of these efforts, we did not make out the features of the old health and senility exactly, so produced a little. I think of the Oriental approach as a appropriate, synthetic view which can develop the new opportunity of solution to the old health and senility. Through the comparisons, contrasts and considerations between the Oriental-Western medicine about the old health and senility, I have investigated the medical course and I came to the conclusion as follows; 1. Both -the Oriental and the Western- define that senility is a inevitable phenomenon in any creature and is the natural phenomenon that weaken the function of the internal organs little by little in the body. So after we classify it into physiological, pathological aging, we research it. 2. In the Western medicine, they have made progress about the cause of senility but their researches are analytic, fragmental and unessential. Considering the general characteristics that senility is occurred in all creatures, the synthetic viewpoint of the Oriental medicine is more desirable. 3. In classifying the old disease the Western medicine makes a list analytically but only apply clinical field established to the old, while the Oriental medicine don't classify specially and apply the established symptom name. When we consider the traits of the disease of the old, functions and activities-centered viewpoint, that is to say, point of view of the Oriental medicine, are more useful than disease-centered. 4. In treating of the old disease, the Western medicine is limited to the popular method, while the Oriental medicine approach represent the various method based on variable of vital essence and energy. the Oriental medicine, however, has defects that haven't developed the technique and biomarker which can measure the function of creature. But I am sure that analytical research of the Western medicine have scientific advantages. 5. the Oriental-Western medical considerations on the old health and senility have a lot of parts which cooperated each other and will be a clue that can solve the mystery of lives.
