Aspect of QOL Assessment and Proposed New Scale for Evaluation

Abstract

According to the reports from Ministry of Health in each country, the average life span is elongated over the past decade. This trend is expected to be keeping constant further in the future and at the same time continued efforts should be made. Next, it is necessary for us to consent about improving the quality of life. In an effort of improving the quality of life, other than the western medicine, we have attempted to introduce many traditional medical practices, including the oriental medicine, from various parts of the world into the medical field as a complementary & alternative medicine (CAM). Judging both positive and negative aspects by the evaluation standard of the Western medicine, we try to obtain numerical aspects in termed of QOL. Some methods of alternative medicine involved in this review are acupuncture, moxibustion, TCM and other traditional medicine. Above all, WHO suggests selecting the suzerain nation of acupuncture moxibustion, which has been developed in the oriental countries as a specialized cure, by identifying merits & demerits and ascertaining which nation can be a the best model for special field. At the moment for evaluating CAM, for example, what kind of methods is/are suitable for evaluating each CAM. We have been trying to propose the peripheral leukocyte, that is one of the best marker for evaluating CAM. Our trial is a hot spring hydrotherapy, acupuncture and moxibution, light exercise and Ondle/floor heating etc. In these trials, we find the common results from leukocyte effects which exhibit a strong correlation for the regulation in number and function, as a new scale for evaluating QOL. The contents are the result from the data showing the much in number of volunteer tend to down regulate, on the other hand, lower number of volunteer is up-regulated at next day by each menu of CAM as a constitution dependent manner. However, even in western medical methodology, double blind and cross over system are the better way to evaluation even in CAM. The responsibility in human to each CAM therapy is different in individually, so to say according to constitution. In other words, there are so many vectors within the group, including at least three * Corresponding author. N. Yamaguchi et al. 148groups, up-regulating, down regulating and stand stilled one. So we have no positive results by the method by sum-up and made mean. According to this system, individual vector is cancelled each other and real effect is not exhibited as a final result. So, we would like to present more smart way to access the efficacy for CAM menu. That is trial to plot each individual effect on the linear function and making slant/co-efficiency that plot each variable vector which is derived from the relative value compared to that of the day before. This procedure is easy to compare between each impact to the volunteer. We would like to propose this evaluation system as Super Constitution System: SCS. This kind of regulation showed within a 24 hours, for the leukocyte subsets, granulocyte and lymphocyte...

“…A total number of leukocyte was not significantly change after the administration of FWP80. On the other hand, the relative ration of leucocyte subset, granulocyte and lymphocyte were changed significantly before and after the trial (10). To further characterization to the influence of FWP80, we separated the subjects into two groups: the G type group, who had a granulocyte count over 60%, and the L type group, who had a lymphocyte count over 40%.…”

“…Recently, complementary, and alternative medicines (CAM) have interested more and more attractive since they are able to treat many life-style related diseases, such as Diabetes mellitus, fatigue syndrome that spurred in the industrialized world. The present report had showed that typical styles of CAM, preparing special molecule for both digestive and easy to augmented human complement component that regulated the functions of leukocytes in human immune defence system [6][7][8][9][10]. We had been published and proposed that the health promoting supplement could work after depredated the polysaccharide to appropriate fragment they possible to activate complement component.…”

“…The fermentation was prepared by Lactobacillus leuteria for 6 months at 20°C. GABA: gamma amino acid butyric acid was traced by the check system [9,10].…”

“…The overall mechanism of FWP80 to the phagocytic cell is also discussed in concern to the complement activation especially alternative complement pathway. This phenomenon was only find to prepare chained saccharide that enable to activate the complement pathway, made by acidophilic bacteria and yeast fungus [10]. gathered more than 95% of phagocytes.…”

Then the membrane was stained by May-Giemsa solution and recorded by photometry and counted.…”
