The aim of this study is to find out benefits of symptom questionnaire for oriental medical treatments. We analyzed symptom questionnaire of Korean association of abdomen diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions are as below. 1. Appetite, taste and digestion have a deep connection with accumulation and muscular contracture, with which the method of reinforcement and reduction is decided. 2. Feces, urine and, sweat have a deep connection with accumulation and water, with which the method of diaphoresis, emesis and purgation is decided. 3. Thirst and chillness and fever have a deep connection with water poisons and feverish feeling, based on which the cold and heat is classified. 4. we can find out the lesions with departmentalized physical sections of the head and the face, the chest, the abdomen, the articulations, the limbs and the skin. 5. It is possible to select appropriate prescription and assess before & after treatment through the questionnaire.

The purpose of this study is to find out relationship between "Yakjing" and the textbook of herbology. Conclusions are as below. 1. The herbs of accumulation of poison(結毒) generally show cold nature and have a reducing effect, which resemble the method of treating accumulation and stagnation. 2. The herbs of muscular contracture(攣) show sweet taste and tonifying effect, fall on the spleen and the stomach and have acts of treating urgency, relieving pain and conciliating, which resemble the method of treating urgency(急)and pain from accumulation and stagnation. 3. The herbs of water poisons(水毒) are categorized as those of cold nature and dampness and we can find out that water poisons is related to cold nature. 4. The herbs of feverish feeling(煩) treat heat. 5. The herbs of cardiothoracic part have an effect of regulating Gi and treat the phlegm disease.

This paper considers the concept of analog computing based on a cellular neural network (CNN) paradigm to simulate nuclear reactor dynamics using a time-dependent second order form of the neutron transport equation. Instead of solving nuclear reactor dynamic equations numerically, which is time-consuming and suffers from such weaknesses as vulnerability to transient phenomena, accumulation of round-off errors and floating-point overflows, use is made of a new method based on a cellular neural network. The state-of-the-art shows the CNN as being an alternative solution to the conventional numerical computation method. Indeed CNN is an analog computing paradigm that performs ultra-fast calculations and provides accurate results. In this study use is made of the CNN model to simulate the space-time response of scalar flux distribution in steady state and transient conditions. The CNN model also is used to simulate step perturbation in the core. The accuracy and capability of the CNN model are examined in 2D Cartesian geometry for two fixed source problems, a mini-BWR assembly, and a TWIGL Seed/Blanket problem. We also use the CNN model concurrently for a typical small PWR assembly to simulate the effect of temperature feedback, poisons, and control rods on the scalar flux distribution.

본 연구에서는 인체 폐암세포주인 A549 세포와 간암세포주인 HepG2 세포를 사용하여 Endlicheria anomala 메탄올 추출물(Methanol extract of E. anomala, MEEA)의 항암 활성 및 그 분자적 기전에 관하여 분석하였다. 먼저 MEEA가 인체 폐암세포와 간암세포의 증식에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 암세포의 증식을 억제하는 효과가 탁월하였다. 그 후 MEEA에 의한 세포 증식이 억제되는 원인을 분석하기 위하여 Flow cytometry analysis, AnnexinV & 7-AAD 이중 염색을 수행한 결과, 두 세포에서 모두 농도의존적으로 apoptosis 유발군인 SubG1기의 세포 분포가 증가하였고, early apoptosis에서 late apoptosis로 전환되는 공통적인 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 apoptosis의 유발로 일어날 수 있는 세포의 형태 변화를 관찰하기 위한 DAPI 염색과 DNA fragmentation을 통하여 MEEA 처리에 의한 A549의 염색질 응축, 사멸체 형성 및 DNA의 끌림 현상을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이와 관련된 분자적 기전 분석을 위한 Western blot을 추가로 수행하여 caspase, PARP, pro-, anti-apoptotic 단백질의 발현을 관찰하였다. 이상의 결과로 MEEA는 인체 폐암세포와 간암세포에서 p53의 발현 증가와 Bcl-2 family의 변화를 유도하며, caspase-3와 관련된 경로를 통하여 농도의존적으로 apoptosis를 유발시킨다는 것을 증명하였다. 이는 MEEA가 항암 활성을 보유하고 있고, 인체 폐암세포와 간암세포 사멸의 기전 연구를 위한 중요한 자료가 될 수 있음을 시사한다.
