This study was undertaken to find the effect of radiation therapy on the healing ability of surgical wounds and on this basis, to find the proper time interval between the radiation therapy and surgery. Two hundred and fifty-two mice were used and a single dose of 2000 cGy was given in each instances to the hind limb of mice. Incisional wounds were produced after varying intervals in the previously irradiated areas and then they were followed up at regular intervals by the measurement of tensile strength. The wounds which received surgery immediately, 1 or 2 weeks after irradiation revealed marked delay and the wounds which received surgery 12, 16 or 20 weeks after irradiation demonstrated slight delay in wound healing in terms of tensile strength measurement. But the wounds which received irradiation 4 or 8 weeks before surgery did not differ much in the wound healing process from that of the control group. Histopathologic studies of the wounds demonstrated epithelization in most instances as quickly as in the control wounds. The appearance of fibroblasts and collagen fibers has delayed momently and appeared to have close correlation with the tensile strength healing curves.

In this study, we investigated the efficacy of ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}CD$) hydrorogel containing silk fibroin (SF) on healing burnt wound. Tosyl ${\beta}CD$ was conjugated to polyethyleneimine (PEI) using epichlorohydrin (EPI) as a cross-linker. The ${\beta}CD/PEI/SF$ hydrogel was applied on the back of mouse and then the efficacy of hydrogel was compared with both positive control group and negative control group. There was no wound healing efficacy showed neither in the drug loaded ${\beta}CD/PEI/SF$ hydrogel group nor in the drug unloaded ${\beta}CD/PEI/SF$ hydrogel group. On the other hand, in the positive control group, a significant reduction of the wound size after the usage of OTC hydrorogel was obtained. The burn-healing histological result showed a similar phenomenon. After hematoxylin-eosin staining the skin induced by burning, and the epithelial growth observed in the dermis, the efficacy of ${\beta}CD/PEI/SF$ hydrogel in healing burnt wound could not be clearly identified.

This study explores the aftermath of state violence and the meaning of its healing by analyzing testimony therapy designed to deal with trauma of the victims of May 18 democratization movement("May 18"). In order to have a point of view that May 18 had catastrophic impacts on many individuals and communities and to observe the after-effects of such event to individuals' lives, this study analyzed the contents of testimony therapy sessions of four people who were tortured, arrested and detained after their participating in May 18 in 1980. The experiences of those participants with their testimony therapy and the interactions they had with the audience during the sessions made sure what are the key factors to healing the trauma from state violence. Nineteen topics were drawn from analyzing the statements made in the therapy process, and out of them, seven subjects below were chosen as the most significant; 'repetitive pain', 'social and economic damage', 'isolation and disconnection', 'transition of suffering to other generations', and 'Safety', 'healing through connections', 'obligation as a survivor'. Based on its findings, this study also examined the characteristics of trauma caused by state violence and made suggestions for healing such trauma.

편층증의 개인치료와 집단관리에 있어서 메벤다졸의 유용성 및 효과를 측정하였다. 메벤다졸(100∼1,200mg) 투약 3주후 430명에 있어서의 치료효과는 15.0∼64.0% 및 24.6∼95.2%의 치유율 및 충란감소율을 보여 대체로 만족스럽지 못한 결과이었으나 메벤다졸의 총 투여량이 높으면 높을수록 치유율 및 충란감소율도 높아지는 것이 관찰되었다. 일정간격 반복투여(600mg용량)에 의한 집단관리를 주민(4개군, 총 551명)의 편충란양성율은 3개월간격(3일 분복군) 투여 군에서 가장 현저한 감소추세를 보여 관리시작후 1년만에 40.0%에서 5.6%로 저하되었고, 3개월 간격(단희 또는 2회 분복군), 6개월, 12개월군 및 대조군에서는 감소추세가 완만하거나 거의 관찰되지 않았다. 이상의 결과로 보아, 메벤다졸은 편충의 개인치료에는 그다지 우수한 결과를 나타내지 않았으나, 3개월간격으로 반복투여하면 집단관리에는 유효한 약제가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the matter as to how the meaning of the physical therapeutic landscape by water, which is associated with physical, cultural, spatial, and economical aspects, appears in the space centering on women and is to look into the feminine factors in term of a rest area, consideration, and imagery for women. From a perspective of a rest area for women, the meaning of a physical aspect is remarkable and is materialized in thermal waters and bathing, atmosphere, subsidiary facilities and safe nightlife. According to these phenomena, female visitors are able to feel freedom, power, which can return themselves to the best condition by thermal waters, therapeutic equipments provided in a watering place continuously, safe protection and exchange with strangers with an open mind. And the cultural aspect of the therapeutic landscape by water is discovered in consideration for women. It is the fact that joins the Japanese culture based on consideration towards others to the traditional culture of hot springs by itself. For example, women can feel various pleasure, experience the protection or the support by someone and pursuit not only physical beauty but also mental or spiritual one through welcome bus, service of Okami san and Nakai san, decorations, funny installments and secure of private space. Lastly, the imagery of women can be identified in cultural, spatial, and economical aspects extensively somewhat and is embodied by advertising mediums, signs of hot springs, shrines, objets and products variously. It is made into healthiness, relaxation, comfort, familiarity and image that are realized to love or are connected to a happy marriage life. To sum up the results, the healing or therapeutic elements for women appearing in hot springs are gathered to some abstraction such as freedom, safe, effect beyond the body, pleasure, durability of healing or therapy, beauty and hope; furthermore, if these abstraction are combined each other closely, the effect of healing or therapy, which transforms anxiety into a stable condition, can be exposed externally.

Background: Studies on the existence and activation of antioxidants in the wild Erigeron canadensis are still incomplete. Purposes: The activity of antioxidant substances was studied by extracting E. canadensis with ethyl alcohol. Methods: After washing the wild turfgrass, extraction with ethyl alcohol was used to investigate the activity of antioxidant substances using various analytical instruments. Results: The highest yield ratio of the extract was 49.3%, and it varied according to temperature and ethyl alcohol ratio. The 50:50 of water to ethyl alcohol at 180℃ was the highest yield. 100% survival rate was in the untreated group and 98-100% in the experimental group at 50 ppm or more of the extract. There was no cytotoxicity at almost all concentrations. The extract of 25 ppm was suppressed by 42% in the test group. The extract of 50 ppm reduced the free fatty acid content by 15%. Cell viability was 20% at the extract concentration of 50 ppm and 24% at 100 ppm. At an extract of 500 ppm, the free oxygen scavenging ability using DPPH and ABTs was 90-98%. When the changes in the free radical scavenging activity of DPPH and ABTs were observed in three dimensions, the antioxidant activity tended to increase at 85℃ as the temperature increased. However, at 85~130℃, it showed a rather decreasing tendency as the temperature increased. Conclusions: There were antioxidants in the ethyl alcohol extract of the wild grass, there was almost no cytotoxicity and suppressed NO production, and the scavenging function of free oxygen was also high. These results provide primary data for the various natural healing uses of the extracts of the turfgrass.
