JOURNAL FREE ACCESSKAMEI Nanmei was a Confucian scholar-physician of chivalrous spirit. In his adolescent days, he admired and followed NAGATOMI Dokushoan's thought, and this helped him develop a strikingly individual personality. HIROSE Tanso, one of his disciples, related that Kamei was so dedicated and broadminded that he fostered and nurtured the latent talents of others. He also was a man of courage.
In 1778, Kamei was assigned the position of official medical doctor of the Fukuoka feudal clan, and served the clan lord as a lecturer-advisor, due to his marvelous achievements and reputation among the local citizens as a medical practitioner. His faithful service brought him opportunities for further promotion, and in 1783 he finally assumed the honorable position of Director of Kantokan (an educational institute for clan youth). These successes and achievements in Kamei's career, however, were by no means welcomed by his rivals at the KAIBARA Ekiken school. Kamei belonged to another leading school, the OGYU-Sorai. A severe contention for superiority developed between the two rival schools, and finally Kamei was defeated and sentenced to imprisonment for life in 1792.
This article discusses Kamei's thoughts and his efforts in writing the book, “Rongo-goyu, ” which was intended to explore and impart the genuine, orthodox teachings of Confucianism.View full abstractDownload PDF (14694K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe report a case of sciatica showing improvement by treatment with Gorei-san-ryo. The patient, a 66-year-old woman with right gonarthrosis, had been receiving treatment at the orthopaedic surgery department since May 19, 2000. She felt left hip pain and left leg numbness on May 10, 2002. She was diagnosed with left-side sciatica on May 15, 2002. She was treated with loxoprofen, eperisone, and epidural steroids at the orthopaedic surgery, but her symptoms hardly improved. She visited our department on August 7, and treatment wiht Busi-to was begun. After four weeks, her symptoms had not improved. Busi-to was stopped and Gorei-san-ryo was begun on September 4. After two weeks, her hip pain had improved. Keishi-bukuryo-gan was administered in addition to Gorei-san-ryo on September 18. On December 25, her sciatica as evaluated by visual analogue scale, had decreased from 100 to 35 since first visiting our department. Based on this experience, it is suggested that Gorei-san-ryo be considered in the treatment of sciatica.View full abstractDownload PDF (1994K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe source of the herbal mixture named Jiin-koka-to is Wan bing hui chun. Jiin-koka-to has been used mainly as a decoction for the treatment of bronchitis and tuberculosis. The cases of bronchial asthma treated with Jiin-koka-to in this report had similar symptoms: abnormal sensations in the throat and irritation. We investigated the efficacy of Jiin-koka-to in 11 asthma patients having both symptoms. Improvements were observed in all patients; these improvements included reduction of peripheral eosinophil count and serum IgE, loss in quantity of prednisolone, increment of peak expiratory flow rate, and cessation or decrease of asthma attacks. Thus, it is possible that Jiin-koka-to is a controller rather than a reliever in the treatment of bronchial asthma. Abnormal sensations in the throat and irritation might be one of the indications for Jiin-koka-to.View full abstractDownload PDF (2057K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe assessed the understanding of Japanese Oriental Medicine, as well as the connection between General Medicine and Japanese Oriental Medicine, among medical students, to improve the effectiveness of clinical practice and lectures. The questionnaires were sent to fifth-year medical students (n=66), and the responses were collected anonymously. Although 22.4% of the responding students were “very” interested in Japanese Oriental Medicine and 68.7% were “slightly” interested, the students who understood Japanese Oriental Medicine even “slightly”comprised only 23.9%. The majority of students considered that the system of Japanese Oriental Medicine was most useful in combination with Western Medicine for practicing General Medicine. Nine (60%) of 15 students who understood Japanese Oriental Medicine considered that the system of Japanese Oriental Medicine was most useful for practicing general medicine. In contrast, among students who did not understand Japanese Oriental Medicine, only 8 of 42 (19%) showed the same response. Similarly, more of the students who understood General Medicine showed this response than students who did not understand General Medicine.
These results permit us to speculate that medical students consider that understanding both General Medicine and Japanese Oriental Medicine might contribute to the development of a medical service.View full abstractDownload PDF (624K)
