This study examined differences in the preference of the fest therapy program regarding stress level. Using convenience sampling method, the surveys on the preferred type of forest healing program and social and psychological stress scales was carried out for adult male and female. As a basis of Psycho social Stress Scale (PWI-SF: Psychosocial Well-being Index Short Form), the adult 620 people were classified such as healthy group, potential stress group, high-risk stress group. The data were analyzed by use of SPSS 21.0 program. To see the difference in preferences for forest therapy program between the three groups according to stress levels, it was analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Depending on the stress levels, there were differences in the preferences of forest healing program such as breathing, breathing exercises, walking in the forest, listening to the sound of water flowing, viewing the forest, counseling, consultation and expert coaching, stress-related lectures, communication-related lectures, forest bathing wind bathing sun bathing. High-risk stress group preferred cognitive based program such as counseling, consultation and expert coaching, stress-related lectures, communication-related lectures. Healthy group appeared to prefer highly emotional approach of the program to take advantage of the five senses such as breathing, breathing exercises, walking in the forest, listening to the sound of water flowing, viewing the forest, forest bathing, wind bathing, sun bathing. Noticeable preference difference was not observed in the potential stress group. It is hoped this study will serve as a basis for the development of forest healing program regarding stress level.

Effects of curing treatments and storage temperature on the quality of Chinese yams (Dioscorea polystachya Turcz.) were investigated stepwise in three consecutive years for the optimization of postharvest handling procedures. Tuberous roots were harvested in early to mid November and cured under ambient or $29^{\circ}C$ heated air conditions for various periods according to the treatment conditions. Storage temperatures in the range of 0.5 to $7.5^{\circ}C$ were phased in to avoid chilling injury while examining storage potential from 4 to 7 months. As poststorage technology, short-term $60^{\circ}C$ hot-air exposure or low shelf temperature treatments were additively imposed. Curing treatments, especially heated air curing for 3-5 days tended to reduce the respiration and weight loss during storage while maintaining flesh firmness. Storage at $0.5^{\circ}C$ brought out typical chilling injury symptoms on the shelf with increases in respiration and lower flesh firmness by tissue breakdown resulting in the rapid loss of marketability. Optimum storage temperature appeared to be the $3-4^{\circ}C$ range which suppresses quality deterioration while avoiding chilling injury. Low shelf temperature seemed to be a necessary part of postharvest handling system to keep marketability through control of poststorage disorders such as rooting and decay. Overall results suggested that optimized postharvest program consisting of heated-air curing, storage at $3-4^{\circ}C$, and low shelf temperature could extend storage potential of Chinese yam to longer than 7 months.

Recently, there are many children's hospitals which medical facilities are need to be improved in China. Except medical facilities, the environmental element-children's emotional security and mental development-were often been ignored. The waiting space is a place for the formation of the impression of hospital and the important space of spatial constitution for emotional security. It is necessary to provide a friendly environment for children. Previous studies showed there are three factors that affected healing environment in children's hospitals' waiting space: physical, psychological and conduct. The result showed that Chinese children's hospitals performed better in physical factor, but lack of psychological and conduct factor based on the case study of 6 children's hospitals in Beijing. In order meet the needs of patients and protectors better, the main purpose of this study is provide the suggestion for improving the healing environment from the perspective of design.

Due to various advantages such as small facilities, ease of construction and so on, the grouting technology which is widely used in construction field has developed remarkably compared with the past. However, the efforts to improve the homogeneity of quality, long-term durability and environmental problems have been continued. In recent years, new grouting method has been developed in order to solve problems such as low strength, durability and leaching phenomenon of liquid glass (sodium silicate) grouting material in Korea. A newly developed method integrates the injection material with the ground by the self-healing material of crystallization growth type. For this reason, it is known that improvement of the durability and water quality of the ground, prevention of leaching, and environment friendliness can be expected. The present study applied a newly developed method to test sites and verified its effect such as injection range, improvement effect, waterproofing performance and so on. Standard penetration test, field permeability test, borehole shear test, pressuremeter test and pH test were conducted, and the results were compared between before and after developed method application. As results of tests, the field applicability and improvement effect of developed method were proved to be excellent.

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.

In this study, we investigated the proliferative and adhesional effect of human osteoblast like MG-63 cell treated with low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS). We tested the effectiveness of LIPUS in human osteoblast like MG-63 cells. Cell proliferation was measured using a water soluble tetrazolium salts-1 assay. The mRNA expression of alkaline phosphate, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), integrin alpha 2, colla 1A1 were performed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. LIPUS was no cytotoxicity in human osteoblast like MG-63 cells. In addition, the data show that treatment with 1 MHz and 3 MHz LIPUS on increased proliferation 7 days after. There were significant increased in mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, VEGF, integrin alpha 2 and colla 1A1 (p<0.05). Therefore, the LIPUS significantly increased differential expression of mRNA levels in osteoblast like MG-63 cell and new possibilities in dental clinical practice.
