Free oral papers EFFECTIVE ACUPUNCTURE COMBINATION BASED ON SAAHM 5 ELEMENT AND ACUPOINT’S EFFICACY Chang-Beohm Ahn ,Chun-Ho Song, Kyung-Jeon Jang, Hyun-Min Yun, Cheol-Hong Kim,Young-Kwang Min Department <strong>of</strong> Acupuncture and Moxibustion, College <strong>of</strong> Oriental Medicine, Dongeui University, Busan, Republic <strong>of</strong> Korea Acupuncture could have more effects in combination <strong>of</strong> Saahm 5 Element and acupoint’s efficacy. Most illnesses manifest themselves as interruptions <strong>of</strong> stagnation or irregularities and imbalances <strong>of</strong> deficiency or excess through meridian. There are three effects <strong>of</strong> acupoint;1 st , local effect on surrounding areas, corresponding and related channels.2 nd , special effect <strong>of</strong> special points as connecting and alarm points, etc. 3 rd , tonification and sedation effects <strong>of</strong> distal points below elbow and knee joints, particularly, the 5-Shu points corresponding to 5 phases. In backache, many doctors select acupoints on BL,GB,GV,etc from local and special effects. In imbalances <strong>of</strong> deficiency and excess, we must select 5 Shu points. In NanJing, the 50th issue explains 5 Evils’ pathology and the 69th issue proposes treatments. Gaowu in China’s Ming Dynasty 1stly proposed to tonify and sedate based on promotion cycle which’s called as The Four Needle method by Jeremy Ross Korean Saahm about 350 years ago proposed 5 Element acupuncture that uses simultaneously 5 Shu points <strong>of</strong> promotion and control cycles which’s called as Four Needle technique or The Eight Needle method. In backache <strong>of</strong> BL deficiency, we reinforce BL.67, LI.1 and reduce KI.3, SP.3. In backache <strong>of</strong> BL excess, we reduce BL.65, GB.41 and reinforce BL.40,ST36. It needs guidelines for symptoms’diagnosis and clinical statistics that compares effects <strong>of</strong> acupoint’s treatments to those <strong>of</strong> combination treatment though we may have more effective treatment if using two methods together. ACUPUNCTURE AND LOCAL LASER-THERAPY IN OSTEONECROSIS OF THE KNEE-ACTUAL RESULTS K. Benner, S. Benner Gelenkzentrum Hochheim Osteonecrosis <strong>of</strong> the knee is a pathological process and the study <strong>of</strong> its genesis remains controversial and incomplete. Several etiological aspects, such as traumatic, endogenous and - most importantly vascular theory, are still beeing debated. This is a case study about a middle - aged healthy woman with an early beginning osteonecrosis <strong>of</strong> the lateral Femurcondylus.She experienced pain at the lateral joint cavity and a movement reduction. Since conservative approaches with NSAR and physical therapy had not been successful, we started a six week local laser-therapy, with a laser needle appliance in combination with acupuncture. The MRI three months later showed a restitutio ad integrum, and the patient had no more problems moving the joint <strong>of</strong> the left knee freely. Therefore, we can suppose that the low level laser-therapy has biostimulatory effects. We presume that this therapy induces vascular relaxation, increases microcirculation and prevents the further development <strong>of</strong> bone necrosis.
