In this study, we estimated the behavior of the diversity of physiological responses under varied physical environmental factors by measuring variations of heart rate variability (HRV), an index of activity of cardiac autonomic control. Seven healthy young male adults consented and participated in the study. The environmental conditions consisted of thermal, lighting, and acoustic conditions. Two components of HRV were measured. one was the low frequency (LF) component of HRV, which provided a quantitative index of the sympathetic and parasympathetic (vagal) activities controlling the heart rate (HR). The other component measured was the high frequency (HF) component, which provided an index of the vagal tone. The percent contribution of physical environmental factors to the variations in HRV indices were calculated by ANOVA. The contribution of physical environmental factors to the variations in HR was higher than the contribution of HF and LF. However, the contribution of these factors was lower than the contribution related with individual difference in all indices. This result showed that the individual diversity of physiological responses is not a negligible quantity.

녹지식물과 접함으로써 얻어지는 생리 심리적 효과를 과학적으로 실증하는 것은 녹지의 심리효과에 대한 객관적인 지식의 제공과 더불어 인간의 감성을 고려한 녹지공간을 창출에 있어 유용한 근거가 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 15명의 한국인 남성을 대상으로 자연 발산하는 소나무 잎의 향기를 맡는 동안 대뇌활동(뇌혈액동태)과 자율신경계활동(혈압, 맥박, 아밀라제)을 측정하고, SD법(Semantic Differential method)과 POMS(Profile Of Mood States)를 이용하여 소나무 향기에 대한 인상 및 감정상태의 변화를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 소나무 향기는 대뇌활동에 있어 전두야의 감정, 판단, 운동을 담당하는 부위와 측두야의 기억을 담당하는 부위의 활성화를 초래하였다. SD법과 POMS에 의한 언어적 평가에서는 소나무 향기는 자연적이지만, 자극적이고 활발한 인상을 가지며, 활기를 주고 혼란한 정서를 안정시키는 향기로서 평가되었다. 한편, 자율신경계활동에서는 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 실증된 결과를 통해, 소나무 향기가 우리의 생리 심리적인 측면에 활력을 주는 사실이 과학적으로 검증되었으며, 금후 감성을 고려한 녹지환경 디자인을 위한 기초적인 자료로 활용될 것을 기대한다.

급성 스트레스 상황에 따른 Type D 성격의 자율신경계 반응을 심박률 변동성을 중심으로 조사하였다. Type DS-14의 점수에 근거하여 Type D 집단(n=23명)과 non-Type D 집단(n=23명)을 구성하였다. 심박률 변동성(heart rate variability, HRV)을 이용하여 기저선, 스트레스 단계 및 회복 단계 동안의 심박활동을 측정하였으며 스트레스 과제로는 Stroop 색채단어 검사가 사용되었다. 반복측정 변랑분석을 통해 두 집단의 심박활동을 비교하였으며, 회귀분석을 통해 Type D 척도와 스트레스 취약성 척도가 기저선 상태에서의 심박활동의 변화를 예측할 수 있는지를 알아보았다. 연구 결과, Type D 집단은 non-Type D 집단보다 고주파수(high frequency, HF) 활성화가 더 낮았고 저주파수(low frequency, LF) 활성화는 더 높았다. 스트레스 과제 수행 시, non-Type D 집단에서는 교감신경계 활성화 지표(LF component, LF/HF)가 증가하고 부교감신경계 활성화 지표(HF component)가 감소하는 것이 관찰된 반면, Type D 집단에서는 심박활동 비율상의 유의한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 또한, Type D 척도의 총점수, 부정적 정서 소척도와 사회적 억제 소척도는 기저선 상태에서의 심박활동 반응에 대한 유의한 예측인자로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 Type D 성격이 non-Type D 성격에 비해 교감신경계 활성화 비율이 높거나 또는 부교감신경계 활성화비율이 낮음을 시사한다. 즉, Type D가 스트레스에 취약한 성격임을 시사하며, Type D에서 관찰된 심박 활동 양상, 즉 높은 교감신경계 혹은 낮은 부교감신경계 활성화는 Type D 성격이 심장혈관 장애 등을 포함한 정신신체 질환과 관련될 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구에서는 경호경비현장에서 이루어지고 있는 실제적인 경호경비원들의 경계근무와 CCTV 모니터링 요원들의 스트레스를 확인하고, 비교 평가하기 위해 심박동변이(heart rate variability)를 통하여 생체리듬의 변화를 관찰하였다. K대학교 경호학과 학생 9명을 대상으로 실제 근무와 유사한 환경에서 경계근무와 CCTV 모니터링근무를 150분간 실시하였다. 30분 간격으로 자율신경검사를 관찰한 결과 HRT는 모니터링 근무가 경계근무 보다 더 낮게 나타났으며, 안정시, 근무 30분과 60분보다 90분, 120분, 150분은 낮게 나타났다. SDNN은 모니터링 근무가 더 높게 나타났으며, 근무 30분과 60분 보다 근무 150분에서 더 낮게 나타났다. 자율신경검사에서는 TP는 근무형태에 따른 집단 간 차이는 나타나지 않았으며, 근무 30분 보다 근무 150분에 더 높은 시기적 차이를 보였다. 근무형태와 근무시간의 상호작용은 나타났다. LF는 근무 60분 보다 근무 150분에 높은 시기간의 차이를 보였다. HF는 모니터링 근무 집단에 높게 나타났으며, 근무 30분 보다 근무 120분과 150분에서 더 높게 나타났다. 근무형태와 근무시간의 상호작용도 나타났다. LF/HF ratio는 경계근무 집단이 더 높게 나타났으며, 시기 간에 차이와 함께 근무형태와 근무시간의 상호작용도 나타났다. 모니터링 근무가 경계근무보다 부교감신경활동이 더 활발함에 따라 더 낮은 심기능 활동을 보였다. 매일 반복되는 장기간의 모니터링 근무는 VDT증후군이나 신경피로에 노출될 가능성이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Opuntia ficus-indica, commonly known as prickly pear cactus, is commercially grown as a food and medicinal plant in Jeju Island, Korea. The crushed pads and fruits of Opuntia ficus-indica were dried in a freeze-dryer and ground into flour to be used for food materials. The major components of proximate compositions were part of a nitrogen free extract. The major minerals were Ca (4391.2-2086.9㎎%), K (1932.1-2608.7㎎%), and Mg (800.6-1984.8㎎%). The major amino acid was glutamic acid, comprising 16.3% of total amino acids in fruit and 25.2% in pad. Dihydroflavonols were identified as (+)-trans-dihydrokaempferol and (+)-trans-dihydroquercetin. Citric acid methyl esters extracted from fruits showed inhibitory activities against monoamine oxidase-B. The presence of trimethyl citrate has been reported in other plants, but 1,3-dimethyl citrate and 1-monomethyl citrate have not been previously reported. The results of pharmacological efficacy tests, including serum biochemical and hematological parameters, autonomic nervous system, anti-inflammatory, analgestic activity, anti-diabetic activity, antithrombotic, anticoagulant, dopamine beta-hydroxylase, monoamine oxidase activity, hyperlipidemia, the respiratory system, antigastic, and anti-ulcerative actions indicate that the fruit and pad of the Opuntia ficus-indica are rich sources of food and medicinal materials.

Prickly pear(Opuntia ficus-indica var. saboten Makino, Cactaceae) is a tropical or subtropical plant, which is widely used as folk medicine for burned wound, edema and indigestion. Screening on the biological properties of the fruits(OFS-Fr) and stems(OFS-St) of the plant was carried out to prove the pharmacological significance. By hot plate and acetic acid-inducing writhing methods, significant analgesic effects of OFS-Fr and OFS-St were found in mice and anti-edemic effect was observed in carrageenin-induced inflammatory rats. However, the extracts showed no significant actions on central and autonomic nervous system and blood circulatory system, which imply no toxic effects to animal.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship among sleep quality, heart rate variability (HRV), fatigue, depression, and anxiety reported by Korean adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study of 208 adults aged 20~60 years was conducted using a short-term HRV analysis and self-reported questionnaires of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Fatigue Severity Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results: Subjects with good sleep quality (PSQI $score{\leq}5$) had higher HRV total power (t=2.03, p=.043) and high-frequency (t=2.04, p=.043) with lower fatigue (t=-4.08, p<.001), depressive mood (t=-3.66, p<.001), and trait anxiety (t=-3.84, p<.001) than subjects with poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality was negatively correlated with HRV total power (r=-.17, p=.016), high-frequency (r=-.14, p=.049), and positively fatigue (r=.39, p<.001), depression (r=.44, p<.001), state anxiety (r=.23, p=.001) and trait anxiety (r=.34, p<.001). Conclusion: The results indicated that sleep quality is correlated with HRV which reflects the activities of the autonomic nerve system, fatigue, depression, and anxiety in adults.

Background and objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a forest healing program in terms of depression, neuropsychological and physiological benefits for the elderly. Methods: For this purpose, we developed a forest therapy program for the elderly who are vulnerable to dementia and conducted a total of 11 sessions of forest therapy activities in a forest once a week. We measured the changes in depression, resting-state Electroencephalography(EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) before and after the program. There were 60 subjects aged over 65 yesrs old. 30 subjects participated in the forest therapy program, and the other were in the control group. The Geriatric Depression Scale was used to measure the level of depression, neuroNicle FX2 (Laxtha, Korea) was used to measure the resting-state EEG, and photoplethymogram (ubpulse T1, Laxtha, Korea) was used to measure the HRV. Results: The results showed that the depression index of the experimental group improved with statistical significance after the program (experiment group = 3.267 decrease of the mean). In the EEG measurement, the alpha-peak frequency at rest (experimental group = 0.227 Hz increase of the mean) was improved (mean increase = 0.23 in the experimental group, p < .05). The high frequency of HRV, which represents the parasympathetic nerve activity of the body's autonomous response, was also significantly improved (mean increase = 0.396 in the experimental group, p < .05). Conclusion: The results suggest that the forest therapy program can reduce the cognitive, psychological and physical risk factors of dementia for the elderly at risk of cognitive decline. Therefore, forest therapy activities may be suitable for the prevention of dementia in the elderly.
