Gamrosu was originally conceptualized from Jeho-tang, a selected thirst quencher of the kings in Chosun Dynasty and Saeng-Maek-san, a qi-vigorating summer beverage recommended by Dongeuibogam. It is a modified fasting therapy beverage which is manufactured from the single herbal medicines composed of those two prescriptions. This study was conducted on 6 obese patients with hypertension. A modified fasting therapy with Gamrosu was practised on them for 10 consecutive days. After the therapy, their average blood pressures were descended from 148/89 mmHg to 119/79 mmHg. The modified fasting therapy with Gamrosu is supposed to be more effective than general diet program or dietary sodium reduction on controlling hypertension. And, Gamrosu improves anti-hypertensive effect by reducing the side effects, such as fatigue, electrolyte imbalance, heartburn, nausea, and headache, during the modified fasting therapy.

Gamrosu is a modified fasting therapy beverage (431 kcal/d). A retrospective observational study was conducted to investigate the detoxification feasibility of Gamrosu. Three cases were reviewed which participants have finished the fasting with Garmrosu for 10 consecutive days. Detoxification profiles of Gamrosu were reviewed at pre- and post-fasting sessions. Post-Gamrosu session, -6.3% of average weight, -6.5% of average body fat mass and -6.6% of average muscle mass were reduced with the nutrition indices being improved. The inflammation indices showed the significant diminished profiles. Liver/kidney functions and the standard of electrolytes were maintained within normal range in stable manners, however, marginal elevation of total bilirubin and mild ketoacidosis were observed. The indices of oxidative stress decreased and those of antioxidative activity increased. The fatigue scale scores indicated lower scores except insomnia symptom. Taken together, detoxification profiles of Gamrosu were sufficiently feasible and the observed findings should be considered for further clinical studies.

A highly obese female patient (body mass index=$30.8kg/m^2$) participated in a 10-day Gamrosu modified fasting therapy with soluble dietary fiber supplementation to enhance lipid metabolism. Gamrosu is a modified fasting therapy beverage which is made from medical herbs and carbohydrates (431 kcal/d). Before and after fasting, we evaluated the efficacy of therapy by measuring the changes of body composition and blood chemistry. After the modified fasting therapy, -6.1% of body weight and -5.6% of body fat mass were decreased. With regard to blood chemistry, all the plasma lipid levels were lowered. -37.4% of total cholesterol, -39.7% of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, -39.0% of triglyceride and -27% of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were reduced. Further studies are needed to alleviate the reduction of HDL-cholesterol to apply the Gamrosu modified fasting to hyperlipidemia.

For the comparison of feeding behavior of Nilaparvata lugens among different rice varieties, electrical penetration graph (EPG) technique was used. Ten rice varieties were selected from national-widely recommended rice varieties cultivating in Chungnam province. The correlation between feeding duration and honeydew amount excreted was investigated, and the types of EPG pattern were analyzed among rice varieties. The EPG patterns divided into 6 types according to electrical specific feature, respectively. Type 1 pattern was a searching feeding sites, resting or wandering on a rice plant. Type 2 pattern was appeared when the insect untaken from phloem sieve element. Type 3 pattern was observed when the insect piercing into the rice plant. Type 4 pattern was observed when the insect salivating in rice plant. Type 5 pattern was observed when the insect ingesting from the xylem. Type 6 pattern was observed when the stylet moving in cell. Feeding duration time on Gum-nam was significantly shorter than Dong-jin, Dae-ahn, Dong-ahn, Dae-san. Also, on Gun-nam, it was shown that the brown planthopper did not penetrate the cuticle for a long time. The total number of excreted honeydew droplets by the brown planthopper was the greatest in Dong-jin variety and the least in Gum-nam variety. In proportion to phloem feeding time, the number of honeydew droplets had been increased. According to the results of EPG patterns and honeydew droplets analysis, N. lugens seems to prefer Dong-jin, Dong-ahn, Dae-san, and Dae-ahn to Gum-nam, Da-san, and Nam-chun rice plant variety.

This present study was carried out to investigate the effect of Saengjingamrotang and Saengjingamrotang plus Radix Trichosanthis in streptozotocin induced hyperglycemic rats. Body weight, serum levels of glucose insulin total cholesterol triglyceride and urine levels of volume glucose protein were measured in streptozotocin induced hyperglycemic rats orally receiving extracts of Saengjingamrotang and Saengjingamrotang plus Radix Trichosanthis for 4 days. According to above mentioned results, Saengjingamrotang and Saengjingamrotang plus Radix Trichosanthis have the effect of decreased blood sugar, serum lipid levels and urine volume, protein, glucose in streptozotocin induced hyperglycemic rats, and so they were expected to be appled to the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

This study is focused on the man's costumes of Sadangpae(the troupe of performers) shown in Gamrotaenghwa (감로탱화) during the late Chosun dynasty. Originally Gamrotaenghwa was used as a painting for a Buddhist praying ceremony, 또Young-ga-cheon-do-je(영가천도제). It shows us the lives of the commoners in those days. Gamrotaenghwa reflects the changes of costume style in the late Chosun period. The early styles of po(포, coat) for male performers in the 17th century were changeui(창의) and dopo(도포), which had the front panels(seop) overlapped deeply and sleeves that got wider as time passed. After the 18th century, Male performers wore a simpler coat such as sochangeui(소창의), which had narrow sleeves and long slits on the both sides. Especially the coats of acrobats were fastened on the center front with buttons. Heuklip(흑립: black hat), somoja(소모자: small cap) and jeonlip(전립: wool hat) were used as hats for the male performers. Originally, heuklip was the hat that represented the noble status: yangban(양반). However, it was popularized among the commoners in the late Chosun period. As time passed on, the heuklip became more popular and its shape also changed. Somoja and jeonlip were shown throughout the entire Gamrotaenghwa. Unlike heuklip, those were common hats for Sadangpae. The costumes of entertainers shown in Gamrotaenghwa were very similar to those of the commoners. However, it seems that there were some differences of the costumes depending on the roles they performed.
