JOURNAL FREE ACCESSDr. Yoshiwo Kozaymon Kogiu (1724-1800) was a Dutch interpreter in Nagasaki in Edo period. His private school was very successful where practical Dutch Medicine based on Dutch language education was taught. His theory was based on Dr. Buyzen's theory called “Verhandeling van Uitwerpingen des Menshelyke Lighaams”. The resource of his private school was the proceeds gained by “van Swieten Liquid” for the treatment of syphilis.
His theory strongly affected the medical society in Edo, including Dr. Maeno Ryotaku and Dr. Sugita Genpaku and later spread all over Japan.
He opened his own theory and knowledge. He also shared his intellectual property and treatment technique with his disciples. His way of thought was so modern and shared with the trends in the present days.View full abstractDownload PDF (1563K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe administered Seki-gan-ryo to 24 patients with severe asthenia and cold syndrome as judging by Japanese traditional Kampo medicine. The patients were separated into responder, and non-responder groups. There were 12 patients in the non-responding group. We investigated the clinical indicators of Seki-gan-ryo with special reference to the type of cold and pulse diagnosis. The type of cold wass divided into three groups; heat in the upper and cold in the lower, and limbs type. Pulses superficialis-profundus and excess-efficiency were graded from the diagram.
Seven of the 11 patients in the non-responder group appeared to have a general type of cold. There was, however, no statistical difference between the responders and the non-responders, in their type of cold. All patients in the responder group presented with relatively strong pulses (excess: 1, relative excess: 4, and balance: 5). On the other hand, the strength of pulses in the non-responder group appeared to vary.
If patients with severe asthenia and cold syndrome present with a relatively strong pulse, Seki-gan-ryo may be thought of as discriminating formula.View full abstractDownload PDF (755K) -
Examination by Micro Channel Array Flow Analyzer (the first report)Yuzo HORIBE, Syogo ISHINO, Naoko HISAMITSU, Thein LAIN, Shintaro ISHIK ...2004 Volume 55 Issue 5 Pages 645-648

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSScientific elucidation of “oketsu (blood stasis)” states is very important to understanding the diagnostic methods of oriental medicine. We investigated the correlation of blood fluidity to oketsu states, by micro channel array flow analyzer (MC-FAN). Twenty-seven female patients were divided into three groups: a non-oketsu group, a mildly affected group, and a severely affected group according to the diagnostic criteria of their oketsu syndrome. Immediately after collecting their venous blood, whole blood passage time was measured by MC-FAN. And we compared and investigated the correlation with degree of oketsu state, diagnostic criteria and changes of whole blood passage time after the administration of ku-oketsu drugs. As a result, whole-blood passage time of the mildly affected group and the severely affected group were significantly longer than that of the non-oketsu group, while the [an] improvement of blood fluidity was observed after medication. This study confirms that reduced blood fluidity is seen using MC-FAN in oketsu states, and that ku-oketsu drugs are able to improve these states.View full abstractDownload PDF (531K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe present a case of prolonged post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), successfully treated by Uyaku-junki-san-ryo. A 76-year-old woman was referred for PHN for 5 months. Her pain was confined to the area of the maxillary nerve, and waving smart pains trouble her greatly, all day long. The stellate block or the administration of carbamazepine did not avail against her pain at a nearby hospital. She visited our hospital on ******, the degree of her pain was expressed as 7.0cm/10.0cm in visual analogue scale (VAS). We utilized Uyaku-junki-san-ryo three times a day. The therapy of Uyaku junki-san-ryo resulted in the improvement of her pain, as well as the increase of her quality of life (QOL). Additionally, her VAS score was diminished from 7cm to 2cm, after two months.
This case demonstrates that Uyaku-junki-san-ryo may be a useful agent for the treatment of PHN.View full abstractDownload PDF (670K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe report two cases of ulcerative colitis successfully treated with Kigi-kenchu-to. Case One was a 35-year-old male. He had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at another hospital, had been receiving corticosteroid (prednisolone) treatment, but his symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea and hematochezia) improved little. He visited our department and was admitted. Treatment with Kigi-kenchu-to for 2 weeks improved his symptoms and colonoscopic findings, and he was discharged.
Case Two was a 28-year-old female. She had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at another hospital. She had received modern medicinal treatments, including steroid pulse therapy and granulocytapheresis for 10 years. But her symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea and hematochezia more than 10 times a day) showed little improvement. She visited our department, and Kampo treatment with Kigi-kenchu-to-ka-gaiyo-akyo was begun. After 4 weeks, her symptoms and colonoscopic results had improved. Based on these experiences, it is suggested that Kigi-kenchu-to might be an effective formulation in the treatment of ulcerative colitis.View full abstractDownload PDF (4292K)
