This study examined the effects of auricular acupressure on female college students with functional constipation to propose auricular acupressure as an effective and evidence-based nursing intervention. This is an experimental study designed with randomization and single-blind in a Sham-control approach. The subjects included 44 female college students with functional constipation whose symptoms met the Rome IV criteria. In this study, five different acupressure sites were applied to each group; the experimental group (n=23) received auricular acupressure on rectum, large intestine, lung, san jiao, and shenmen, whereas the Sham control group (n=21) received acupressure on ankle, helix, tooth, jaw, and external ear. The intervention was implemented once a week for a total of six weeks. After six weeks, the severity of constipation, stool form, and quality of life regarding constipation in the experimental group significantly improved compared to that of the Sham control group (p<.001). Consequently, the study showed that auricular acupressure can be used as an effective nursing intervention to alleviate constipation in female college students.

In this paper, we propose an efficient dynamic workload balancing strategy which improves the performance of high-performance computing system. The key idea of this dynamic workload balancing strategy is to minimize execution time of each job and to maximize the system throughput by effectively using system resource such as CPU, memory. Also, this strategy dynamically allocates job by considering demanded memory size of executing job and workload status of each node. If an overload node occurs due to allocated job, the proposed scheme migrates job, executing in overload nodes, to another free nodes and reduces the waiting time and execution time of job by balancing workload of each node. Through simulation, we show that the proposed dynamic workload balancing strategy based on CPU, memory improves the performance of high-performance computing system compared to previous strategies.

현대사회의 의료 시술 중 부작용이 거의 없으며 배우기 쉬워 일상적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 의료형태를 대체의학이라 한다. 많은 선진국에서 미래형 의료 서비스로 대체의학에 관한 연구를 활발히 진행하고 있다. 대체의학은 종류가 많지만 그 중 귀에 몸의 각 부위가 상응하는 반사점이 있으며 이를 자극하여 치료하는 형태를 이침요법(耳針療法)이라 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 이침요법(耳針療法)을 사용하여 폐에 상응하는 이혈 반사점을 자극하였을 때 음성의 변화를 분석하는 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 폐 이혈(耳穴) 자극 전과 후의 음성을 수집하고 기존 연구를 기반으로 폐와 연관성이 있는 음성분석 요소인 발화속도, Intensity 기술을 적용하여 변화 지표를 측정하고 이를 분석하여 이혈요법의 효과를 입증하는 연구를 수행하였다.

본 논문에서는 귀의 형태와 색을 통해서 질병을 자가진단 후 귀의 특정 부위를 자극하는 이침요법을 위한 시술 보조 시스템을 제안한다. 제안 시스템은 피시술자의 귀의 이미지 정보와 질병에 대한 정보를 처리하여 이침을 위한 혈자리를 귀 이미지에 표시해 주는 시스템을 구현하였다. 특히 귀를 인식하는 부분에 있어서, Haar-like feature와 Adaboost알고리즘을 사용하는 OpenCV내의 함수를 사용하였고 인식된 귀영역을 그리드 영역으로 나누고 질병에 대한 사전 정보에 따라서 그리드 영역내의 이침혈자리 시스템을 표시하는 시스템으로 구성하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of auricular acupressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Data collection was conducted from March 16 to May 11, 2018. A total of 44 participants with type 2 diabetes were recruited from welfare facilities. Participants in the experimental group (n=22) and placebo control group (n=22) received auricular acupressure on diabetes-related points (shenmen, pancreas, appetite control point, thirst point, and master endocrine point) and diabetes-unrelated points. The intervention was implemented on 5 consecutive days per week for a total of 6 weeks. To examine the effects of treatment, postprandial glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and blood lipid levels were evaluated. Postprandial glucose levels in the experimental group exhibited significant reduction over time compared to those in the placebo control group (p=.030). Glycated hemoglobin levels in the experimental group decreased significantly (t=-2.44, p=.024). However, there were no significant differences in blood lipid levels between the two groups. This study demonstrates that auricular acupressure on diabetes-related points for 6 weeks was highly effective in decreasing blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Mostly lung diseases by smoking and air pollution is increasing social interest one of 6 kinds of modern diseases which is difficult functional recovery of damaged lung as dangerous diseases of life extension. Therefore, to reduce suffering from respiratory diseases is usually non-smoking, to do strengthen behavior of lung function. In this paper, we would like to propose method to do investigation by voice analysis technology to apply when lung associated ear acupuncture point stimulus to help strengthen actually lung function. From this, we would like to consider the voice change of before/after in smoking to analyze the impact on the human body to the lungs. Based on this experiment, we would like to investigate numerically quantity data actual improved lung function to analyze of voice character difference of before/after in lung associated ear acupuncture point stimulating.

삶이 윤택해지면서 선진국에서는 건강에 대한 관심도가 높아 질병이 발생되기 전에 조기에 진단하여 예방하는 대체의학이 관심을 받고 있으며 이러한 대체의학 중 귀에 침을 자입을 하여 치료를 하는 이침(耳針)요법이 있다. 이침 요법은 부작용이 적고 자가 진단을 통해 응급처치가 가능한 것으로 실생활에서 손쉽게 이용하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 신장에 해당하는 이(耳)혈 상응점을 자극하여 신장과 관련된 지각(地閣)의 색 변화를 측정하였다. 이를 위해 동일한 조건에서 시행되는 신장 상응점을 자극하기 전과 후의 영상을 기반으로 이목구비 추출 및 색상 분석 프로그램을 이용하여 CMYK 중 검정 색상값을 의미하는 K값의 변화율을 적용하여 비교, 분석하였다. 결과적으로 신장 상응점 자극에 의해 K값이 낮아져 신장에 해당하는 혈(穴)을 자극할 시에 신장이 안정화 되었다는 결론을 도출하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ear reflexotherapy on back pain of working women in middle age. Methods: The quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used for the study. Total of 56 participants composed of experimental group (n=26) and control group (n=30), who were working in four hospitals in urban area. The degree of back pain after ear reflexotherapy was measured by VAS. The data were analyzed by frequency, percent, t-test and $X^2$-test. Results: The degree of back pain after ear reflexotherapy in the experimental group was significantly reduced, while there was no difference in control group. There was a significant difference between the experimental group and control group in the degree of back pain after ear reflexotherapy (t=3.702, p=.001). Conclusion: Application of ear reflexotherapy was effective for employed women in middle age and it needs to be further evaluated among the other population.

As indicators of life quality have recently shown great improvement, alternative medicine is becoming a mainstream health care pattern, in which early stage medical examinations and treatments are usually preformed before diseases occur. In this context, the ear-acupuncture method is increasingly used these day as one of important alternative medicine treatments. In this paper, we performed an experiment of facial region color analysis with kidney ear acupuncture point irritation. For this, we collected facial image samples before and after kidney ear acupuncture point irritation under the same condition. From the samples, the change rates of K, L values of CMYK color system and Lab color system, respectively, on kidney related facial parts were extracted and analyzed to investigate kidney function improvement.
