    Recently, oriental medicine has received increased attention from various sources. We must respond to this expectation. However, classical research and modern scientific research to date have been inadepuate. We comprehend the principles of oriental medicine, and must provide better medical treatment. The concept of "Ki" exists all over the world. However, the "common sense" which recognized "Ki" has been lost in the modern age during the establishment of the visual sense superiority as the methodology of natural science. Oriental medicine is the "medicine of Ki", which utilizes "life sense and common sense". As one direction, it is nacessary that we regain "life sense and common sense" in our recognition of "life and Ki". Then, we should construct principles of oriental medicine that are based on "life and Ki", allowing oriental medicine to be reorganized creatively. As a result, modern medicine, traditinal medicine and oriental medicine will be integrated, and this integration is expected to promote better medical treatment.

    Ulcerative colitis (UC) is inveterate and easy recurrent inflammatory bowel disease, especially designated as a bad disease by Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan. Variable symptoms of this disease, i.e. diarrhea, melena, bloody stool and abdominal pain, often interfere with the life of patients. Because definitive perfect therapy is not established hitherto the aim of therapy is remission only. Although steroid therapy is adapted to almost all of the patients of UC there are problems of side effects, preservation of remission and dependence on steroid products. Authors tried to adapt AST Qi-gong therapy to six patients of UC, used together with modern medical therapy, and obtained good results in all patients as improvement of symptoms, physical examination and endoscopic examination. These data are judged by medical and objective study. It is indispensable for further examination of the effects of AST Qi-gong therapy on UC.
