Abstract

Due to recent changes in Korean medicine education and the medical environment, emphasis is being placed on integrated curricular understanding of western medical theory. Concerning to inflammation accounting for the majority of diseases, the corresponding concepts and specific details as an interface between the two were compared for a comprehensive basic and clinical understanding in Korean medicine, and then explored the logical procedures required for the verification method through experimental research. The up-to-date concept of acute inflammation is defined by a spectrum of biological responses and processes against external disturbances and the resulting state. The response is the initial phase of struggle between the vital energy and the pathogenic factor(SVP), the process is a specific pathogenesis, and the state can be corresponded to a specific type of symptom set. Also, the contents of inflammation as physiological homeostasis control only a quantitative difference can be regarded with the constitutional theory and differential diagnostics and therapeutic theory(DDT). Summing up the above, the viewpoint of the homeostasis maintenance mechanism and the logic of inflammation theory against SVP & DDT theory were same. So, variables and indicator molecules in the homeostatic and inflammatory control mechanisms for each cell or tissue can be used in the experimental and clinical research of Korean medicine. And then the general hypotheses of Korean medicine theory induced or abducted from research hypotheses of an experiment can be obtained.
