The effects on the dyeing properties and antibacterial activity of fabrics dyed with camomile extract were analyzed. As the results obtained, the surface color of all the dyed fabric was tinged with the yellow of the bright color tone. In the test results of durability, the durability to sunlight of the dyed fabric of both cotton and silk showed from 2nd grade to 3rd grade. The durability to laundry of the dyed fabric of both cotton and silk showed relatively higher grade of 4th-5th. The durability to synthetic sweat of all the fabrics except fer the dyed fabric mordanted with $CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ showed the relatively good result of 3rd- 5th grade. The durability to friction and dry cleaning of all the dyed fabrics showed the excellent result of 4th-5th grade. In the test results of antibiosis, the dyed fabric of cotton showed the decrease rate of $50\%$ to Staphylococcus aureus and the decrease rate of $70\%$ to Klebsiella pneumoniae. The dyed fabric of silk showed the significant effect with Microscopic growth to the mold bacillus Aspergillus niger.

Purpose: This study was done to examine the effects of aroma hand massage on stress response and sleep in hospitalized elderly patients. Methods: A non-equivalent pre-and post-test design was used. Sixty-six hospitalized patients were recruited using a convenience sampling method and assigned to the experimental (n=34) or the control group (n=32). For the experiment, bergamot, lavender, and roman camomile oil were mixed in 2:1:1 ratio to provide aroma hand massage to both hands of each patient in the experimental group for 5 minutes per hand, for 3 days. Post-test data collection was conducted three days after completion of the hand massage. Results: The experimental group had significantly lower stress score (t=-2.648, p=.010, and anxiety scores (t=-4.166, p=.000), and higher sleep measurement scores (t=2.328, p=.023) than those in the control group. Conclusion: These results indicate that short-term application of aroma hand massage for hospitalized elderly patients has a positive effect on hospitalization stress, anxiety, and sleep. Therefore, aroma hand massage should be applied as a nursing intervention to reduce stress response and enhance sleep in elderly hospitalized patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of smoking cessation program applying aromatherapy massage on female college students' quitting of smoking. Methods: Forty-eight female college students were assigned to a smoking cessation program applying aromatherapy massage or a control group. The treatment group was taught to conduct a self hand massage with aroma essence oil. Lavender extra, Camomile roman and Bergamotte aroma essence oil were used for massage. The results of this study showed that the smoking cessation program applying aromatherapy massage resulted in significant effects on the number of cigarettes smoked per day, anxiety, smoking cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Conclusions: The findings presented above suggest that the smoking cessation program applying aromatherapy massage may be an effective intervention for female college students attempting to quit smoking to alleviate smoking-related anxiety and to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked, smoking cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Purpose: This study was done to determine the effects of aromatherapy on anxiety and discomfort for patients who were having colonoscopy. Methods: The study used a nonequivalent control group non-synchronized design. The participants were 48 people who were undergoing colonoscopy in a university hospital. The experimental group inhaled a blend of essential oil with neroli, camomile, lavender and lemon through an aroma stone for 5minutes before the examination. Then the aroma stone was put on the side of the pillow to spread the aroma scent in the room. The experimental group could inhale the aroma scent as soon as they came into the room and during the examination process. The control group received only fundamental nursing care. Results: Aromatherapy significantly decreased VAS anxiety. There were also significant differences in facial change and, tone change for objective discomfort. But there were no significant differences in subjective discomfort between the groups nor were there any significant differences in vital signs. Conclusion: Aromatherapy was perceived as an useful intervention to reduce anxiety and objective discomfort of patients receiving colonoscopy. The results of this study could be utilized as a clinical nursing intervention.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aromatherapy on the level of anxiety and fatigue in student nurses who were undergoing their first clinical practice. Method: A non-equivalent. control group. pretest-posttest design was used. A convenience sample of 42 student nurses were selected. They were assigned to experimental and control groups. The aromatherapy using lavender, geranium and camomile was given to the experimental group for four consecutive days while the control group only rested. Result: 1. Anxiety scores for the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group on the $2^{nd},\;3^{rd}$ and $4^{th}$ days of clinical practice. 2. Fatigue scores for the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group on the $2^{nd},\;3^{rd}$ and $4^{th}$ day of clinical practice. Conclusion: The results support the conclusion that aromatherapy using selected essential oils is an effective intervention for relieving anxiety and fatigue in student nurses experiencing their first clinical practice. However differences between aromatherapy and massage were not clear. Further investigation needs to be done.

혈관 증식 질환에서 세포주기 활성화와 진행은 중요한 치료 목적으로 사용된다. Luteolin는 glycosylated 형태로 샐러리, 후추, 들깨 잎 그리고 카밀레 차에 존재하며 항돌연변이, 항종양, 항산화 그리고 항염증을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 흰쥐 동맥으로부터 분리한 혈관평활근세포를 배양하여 소태아혈청으로 유도된 증식에서 luteolin 효과에 대해 조사했다. Luteolin이 5% 소태아혈청으로 유도된 흰쥐의 혈관평활근세포 증식과 DNA 합성을 5, 20 그리고 $50{\mu}M$에서 억제했다. 혈관평활근세포 증식을 각각 29.6, 50.8 그리고 83.1% 억제했고 DNA 합성은 각각 25.8, 57.6 그리고 81.0% 억제했다. 게다가, 유세포분석 결과 소태아혈청으로 유도된 혈관평활근세포의 세포주기는 luteolin에 의해 차단되었다. 이러한 결과는 세포독성에 의해서도 나타날 수 있기 때문에 WST-1 분석으로 세포독성을 확인한 결과 세포독성 없이 세포주기를 차단하는 효과임을 확인했다. 이상의 결과들은 luteolin이 혈관스텐트와 동맥경화의 치료를 위한 의미있는 항증식 물질임을 보여준다.

Recently many researches on plaque removal effect and therapeutic effect of toothpaste containing natural medicines are being studied in early periodontal diseases. The purpose of this study is to examine the clinical and microbiological effect of toothpaste containing natural medicines such as camomile, rhatany, myrrh，sage oil, glycyrrhetinic acid and vitamin E. Sixty three subjects with gingivitis were divided into an experimental group which performed normal oral hygiene procedure with toothpaste containing natural medicines and vitamine E and a control group which also performed normal oral hygiene procedure with Syrinmed? toothpaste without containing herbal extracts and vitamine E. At the baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks, subjects were analyzed for clinical study and microbiological study. After 2 weeks and 4 weeks use of their respective toothpastes, statistically significant decreases of gingival index, plaque index, and bleeding index were shown in both the control and the experimental group. The degree of decrease was more significant in the experimental group than the control group. A statistically significant decrease of pocket depth, and gingival crevicular fluid were shown in both the control and lie experimental group. A statistically significant increase of cocci was shown in both the control and the experimental group, the degree of increase was more significant in the experimental group than control group. A statistically significant decrease ofnon-motile rods, and motile rods were shown in both the control and the experimental group, the degree of decrease was more significant in the experimental group than the control group. Spirochetes increased weakly in both the control and the experimental group but a statistic significance was not shown. A statistically significant decrease of anaerobic bacteria, aerobic bacteria, and black pigmented Bacteroides were shown in both the control and the experimental group. These results indicate that the use of toothpaste containing natural medicines is effective in the prevention and the treatment of periodontal diseases.
