연구목적 : 이 연구는 봉약침의 봉독이 NF-${\kappa}B$ 활성억제와 안드로겐 수용체 조절 단백질 및 세포자멸사 조절 단백질의 발현을 통하여 세포자멸사를 유도하고, 전립선 암세포를 이식한 쥐에서의 세포자멸사 유도 효과를 확인함으로써, 봉약침의 봉독이 생체 내에서도 세포자멸사를 유도하여 전립선암에 효과를 나타냄을 확인하고자 하였다. 실험방법 : 세포자멸사의 관찰에는 DAPI, TUNEL staining assay를 시행하였으며, 세포자멸사 조절 단백질의 변동 관찰에는 western blot analysis를 시행하였고, 세포자멸사와 연관된 NF-${\kappa}B$의 활성 변화를 관찰하기 위해 EMSA를 시행하였다. 결과 : 1. DAPI, TUNEL staining assay 결과 봉독 및 melittin을 처리한 LNCaP 세포 모두에서 세포자멸사 유도율이 유의한 증가를 나타내었다. 2. LNCaP 세포에 봉독이나 melittin을 처리한 결과, 안드로겐 수용체 조절 단백질 중 p-Akt, COX-2, calpain은 봉독과 melittin 모두에서 유의한 감소를 나타내었고, Akt는 melittin에서 유의한 감소를 나타냈으며, 봉독에서 증가하는 경향을 보였고, MMP-9은 증가하였다. 3. 생체 내에서의 봉독의 항암효과를 확인하기 위해 전립선암세포가 이식된 쥐에 봉독을 처리한 후 암세포의 부피와 무게, 쥐의 체중을 측정한 결과, 봉독을 처리한 군에서 암 세포 부피비율 및 무게는 감소하였고, 쥐의 체중은 증가하였다. 4. 전립선암세포가 이식된 쥐에 봉독을 처리한 결과, NF-${\kappa}B$ 활성에서 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. 5. 전립선암세포가 이식된 쥐에 봉독을 처리한 결과, 세포자멸사 조절 단백질 중 Bax/Bcl-2, p53, caspase-3, caspase-9, calpain은 유의한 증가를, COX-2는 유의한 감소를 나타냈으며, MMP-9는 증가를 나타내었다. 결론 : 이상의 결과는 봉독이 시험관 내에서 뿐만 아니라 생체 내에서도 NF-${\kappa}B$의 활성을 억제하고 안드로겐 수용체 조절 단백질 및 세포자멸사 조절 단백질의 조절을 통하여 인간 전립선암 세포주인 LNCaP의 세포자멸사를 유도함으로써 전립선암 세포 증식억제 효과 및 호르몬 비의존적인 전립선암으로의 전이를 지연시키는 경향이 있을 것으로 사료되고, 봉독이 전립선암의 예방과 치료에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives : The essential tremor (ET) is characterized by a tremor of the whole body, including both arms. Recent studies suggest that its psychiatric and cognitive factors are more important for treatment and management than motor symptomsymptoms. This study was performed to report the effects of Korean medicine for essential tremor aggravated by Hwa-byung. Methods : We treated a 42 year- old man with Korean medicine (acupuncture, herb-medication and moxibustion) and mental therapy. The effects of the treatment for tremor and skin symptoms were measured by VAS and Severity score (3 level). We used SCL-90-R, BDI, BAI, PSQI and instrument of oriental medical evaluation for Hwa-Byung score (IOMEHB) for a psychological condition. Results : After treatments, tremor, Hwa-byung and accompanying symptoms have improved and subsided. VAS, SCL-90-R, BDI, BAI, PSQI, and IOMEHB have decreased. Conclusions : This result suggests that Korean medical treatment and mental therapy might be effective for the essential tremor aggravated with Hwa-byung.

Severe damage on a greenhouse grown lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) associated with Paratylenchus projectus is described for the first time. There were no marketable lettuce in entire greenhouse after three months of planting. Lettuce roots system appeared corky and most of feeder rootlets disappeared. Population densities of P. projectus were ranged from 320-11,600 nematodes per 100 ㎤ of soil. In an inoculation test in a greenhouse, P. projectus is proved as a causal agent of lettuce damage.

A mulberry field and 3 graftage nurseries in Puyo were flooded for 2 to 5 days in 1987 to investigate flood damage. The effect of fertilization upon fall yield in previously flood fields was also studied. The results were : 1. Graftage which received 2 days of flood were alive with decaying leaves submerged under water. Graftages submerged completely for 5 days died, whereas those whose top appeared above the water lived. Graftages which were knocked down by water and scratched by sand, following washing by a fire engine, died. 2. Mulberry trees flooded for 5 days were alive when tops were above the water. 3. Mud soil carried by the flood and deposited on the mulberry had a pH of 6.43, organic matter 2.4%, and available phosphorus of 124ppm. The original sandy soil of the mulberry field had a pH of 5.52, organic matter 0.3%, and available phosphorus of 467ppm. Mud, as a clayey soil with higth fertility, may play a role in soil building. 4. Mulberry from the flooded field showed 3.4% higher yield with additional fertilization than no fertilization. This suggests nitrogen a mobile element, was lost in the flood.

Clinical research on acupuncture in cancer care is a new and challenging field in oncology. The results of clinical research will continue to provide clinically relevant answers for patients and oncologists. The evidence currently available has suggested that acupuncture is a safe and effective therapy to manage cancer and treatment related symptoms, while giving patients the ability to actively participate in their own care plan. The article explains the potential benefits of acupuncture and describes the difficulties in studying its effectiveness.

Ground subsidence occurring in mine area can cause an enormous damage of loss of lives and properties, and a systematic survey should be conducted a series of field investigation and ground stability analysis in subsidence area. This study describes the results from field investigation and ground stability analysis in a limestone mine located in Cheongwon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea. Rock mechanical measurements and electrical resistivity surveys are applied to obtain the characteristics of in-situ rock masses and the distribution patterns of subsurface weak zone, and their results are extrapolated in numerical analysis. From the field investigation and stability analysis, it is concluded that the subsidence occurrence in this limestone mine is caused mainly by subsurface limestone cavities.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate acupuncture therapy for post-stroke cognitive disorder to suggest the methods of a study about acupuncture therapy. Methods: Several academic databases were used in this study, including National Digital Science Library (NDSL), National Assembly Library of Korea, Korean Traditional Knowledge Portal, Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), Korean studies Information Service System (KISS), Korean Medical Database (KMBASE), Korea Med, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS), PubMed, MEDLINE with Full Text, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI). Keywords used were "중풍", "뇌졸중", "인지장애", "침", "acupuncture", and "cognitive disorder". Results: Ultimately, 28 papers were investigated. that were mainly published in 2012 and 2016. Of these, More than two-thirds received a score of one or less on the Jadad scale. Acupuncture points such as GV20, GV24, PC6, EX-HN1, SP6, and GV26 were most frequently used. The treatment duration was mostly 30 minutes or less, and the treatment cycle was mostly for four weeks. Dilatational wave was generally used in pulse wave form, and amplitude of electricity was increased until patients were able to endure. G6805 was generally used in electric acupuncture apparatus. According to results of acupuncture treatment, assessments such as the MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) and the Montreal Cognitive Function Assessment Scale (MoCA) showed statistically significant improvements in 28 studies. Conclusions: Future research is needed to standardize the treatment of acupuncture, and more diversified high quality papers should be published to help clarify the therapeutic effects of acupuncture and the mechanisms of cognitive disorder post-stroke.

Climate factors such as rainfall, temperature, wind, humidity, and solar radiant heat affect soil erosion. Among those factors, rainfall influences soil erosion to the most extent. The kinetic energy of rainfall breaks away soil particles and the water flow caused by the rainfall entrains and transport them downstream. In order to estimate soil erosion, therefore, it is important to determine the rainfall erosivity. In this study, the annual average Rainfall Erosivity(R) in Korea, an important factor of the Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE) and Revised Equation(RUSLE), has been estimated using the nationwide rainfall data from 1973 to 1996. For this estimation, hourly rainfall data at 53 meterological stations managed by the Meterological Agency was used. It has been found from this study that the newly computed values for R are slightly larger than the existing ones. It would be because this study is based on the range of rainfall data that is longer in period and denser in the number of gauging stations than what the existing result used. The final result of this study is shown in the form the isoerodent map of Korea.

In order to investigate the maneuverability of tug-barge, sea trial tests such as speed, acceleration/deceleration, $10^{\circ}$ turning, $20^{\circ}$ turning, $10^{\circ}/10^{\circ}$ zigzag and $20^{\circ}/20^{\circ}$ zigzag were conducted with both tug and tug-barge. From the result of turning test, longer tactical diameter and lower rate of turn of tug-barge than those of tug are obtained. From the result of the zigzag test, bigger overshoot angle of tug-barge than that of tug is obtained. When they turned or changed a course, it showed that the barge turned inner side of the trajectory of tug. For the safe navigation, the helmsman of tug-barge should be aware of these maneuvering characteristics.
