The aqua-acupuncture blended with liquid medicine and acupuncture is known to be effective in treating various medical disorders. This study used gallbladders of bear (WoongDam, WD, Ursus arctos Linne) and pig(JeoDam, JD, Sus scrofa domestica Brisson) plus the stones from the ox gallbladder(WooHwang, WH, Bos taurus var, domesticus Gmelin) to produce the liquid medicine. For the acupuncture, acupoint of ST -36 which is located one finger breadth from the anterior crest of the tibia was selected. There were a couple of purposes in this experiment. First, the relationship between aqua-acupuncture and gastric activity was scrutinized. Secondly, the possibility of pig gallbladder as an alternative organ to bear gallbladder for making liquid medicine was evaluated. Thirdly, different injection concentration ratio of liquid medicine was tried to figure out the optimal dosage for the aqua-acupuncture. The data of the present results indicated that the mixtures of WD + WH and JD + WH have a similar hypotonic effect on the stomach. These findings illustrated that aqua-acupuncture or hydroacupuncture showed inhibitory effect on the stomach in addition to its well-known prophylactic value. Also the possible alternative medical organ of pig gallbladder was checked out since two mixtures illustrated very similar trends in suppressing the gastric activity. The injection concentration ratio was not very different between two mixtures in terms of gastric motility except a couple of ratio. In conclusion, the aqua-acupuncture is a promising way to control the gastric activity for better medical purposes and the gallbladder of pig was assessed as a prospective one for making a liquid medicine.

Objective : I want to examine the antimicrobial activity of Samhwangsasimtang against pseudomonas aeruginosa 38 isolated from an acne patient. Method : Antimicrobial activity was assayed through the hot water extract from Samhwangsasimtang against pseudomonas aeruginosa 38 isolated from an acne patient. Result : The size of inhibition zone of Samhwangsasimtang extract was $12.6\;{\pm}\;0.04\;mm$. The optimal pH and temperature for the growth of isolated pseudomonas aeruginosa 38 were 6.0 and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration of Samhwangsasimtang extract was $10\;{\pm}\;0.06\;{\mu\ell}$ and the antimicrobial activity of Samhwangsasimtang extract was not destroyed by the heat ($121^{\circ}C$ for 15 min) and not affected by pH. Conclusion : Reviewing this experimental result, it appeared that Samhwangsasimtang had efficacy against pseudomonas aeruginosa 38 isolated from an acne patient.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the residents' use and occupancy-behavior in the activity areas of the senior nursing facilities, and to provide basic information to establish the appropriate physical elements for planning the activity areas. For the study, the observations in five facilities were conducted for one day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m by four researchers. The results of the study are summarized as follows: First, most of the using behaviors in the activity areas were the doing nothing or sleeping. The meals and program services were provided in only one activity area of the floor and it showed that the unit care system was perfunctorily conducted at those facilities. In the representative activity area, its openness was the main physical element influencing the spatial using frequency, while the accessibility and the openness in the sub-activity area were most important. The seating arrangements having comers were helpful for residents' interactions. Second, while facility programs and meals were provided in the specific activity area, there was no residents' occupancy in other activity areas at the same time. There were interactions including residents' conversations and watching/observations in non-designated activity areas such as the nursing stations and near corridors. But the residents' interactions and self-regulations were blocked by absence of territoriality, monotonous spatial compositions and furniture arrangements, insecurity of residents' privacy, wide or narrow areas, and isolated spatial type. Based on the results at the above, basic guidelines for planning the activity areas of senior nursing facilities can be proposed as follows: First, the isolated type and the sight interception should be avoided in representative activity areas. It should be partitioned with couple of areas through the appropriate furniture arrangements, and be prepared semi-private spaces in non-designated areas such as nursing station for the interactions among the residents and the staff. Second, in activity areas for small group, the isolated type is not also good for the residents' accessibility. The residents' privacy should be confirmed through the various spatial compositions, and enough areas need to be sure for the diverse furniture arrangements.

In recent years, leisure time has received increasing attention in Korean society. Despite the growing interest, however, there are very few studies that explored shared leisure time, especially among married couples. In this light, the present study examined variations in shared leisure time by demographic characteristics and associations between shared leisure time and quality of marital relationship. We used the third wave of the national data KLoWF (Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families, 9,997 19-64 years old women). The study sample included 5,965 married women with no prior history of divorce. Results showed that Korean wives reported very little shared leisure time with their husbands. Given that the mean of the shared leisure time reported by employed women was significantly lower than that of the un-employed, we speculated that the time constraint may be one of the major barriers to having leisure time with one's spouse among Korean married couples. Married women in their 30's had the most frequent couple leisure time. The younger wives in their 20s had more cultural leisure time with their husbands, but sharing outdoor leisure time was not related to their age. The higher level of education for women was associated with greater shared active leisure time. However, visiting a husband's family often took place regardless of the wives' education level. After controlling for age, years of education, job status and annual family income, shared active leisure time (i.e., cultural activity and exercise) was positively related to marital satisfaction. Visiting one's own family, however, was not considered a leisure activity for Korean wives. Rather, frequent family visits were related to lower marital satisfaction. Findings shed light on how leisure life of married women with spouses are intertwined with not only their socioeconomic status and but also marital relationship in culturally unique ways.

This study was designed to figure out the results of proceeding research, to establish the recipients and service contents, and to develop handbook for elderly-elderly care in the rural area. The results of the study were as follows: The recipients of services were contained to healthy elderly from troubles elderly, solitude elderly, and old couple in the community. The range of the services by elderly-elderly carer were moral support, everyday life support and outside activity support. The handbook listed four areas of services including first meeting and observing, mind care, everyday life care, and outside activity care, and then described contents of 47 situations. The handbook will be great help to the rural elderly if it is given to participants of elderly-elderly care program along with the hall for the aged. Further efforts should be made to reflect feedbacks from rural area, and to make series to bring elderly carer up to date consistently.

Regarding to maturity evaluation of pig manure compost mixed with saw dust, change of constituents of organic matter influenced by microbial activities were investigated. Throughout the two stages of active composting period, we obtained a lot of data related to compost stabilization. However, we found out that only a couple of parameters could be used for adequate evaluation of compost. We, therefore, decided that total sugar and reducing sugar could be used for the reasonable standard criteria of maturity during composting process, even though some enzyme activities by phosphates and cellulase reactions were obtained and compared. Because the other parameters such as contents of lignin, cellulose, and organic acids were difficult to be used for maturity evaluation of pig manure compost.

We previously showed that the root extract of Paeonia lactiflora Red Charm might have anti-oxidant activities, however it was not clear which components might be involved in this activity. Our boinformatics analysis indicated the root extracts of Paeonia lactiflora Red Charm has a couple of potential anti-oxidant materials. One of them is paeoniflorin. We hypothesized that one of components present in Paeonia lactiflora Red Charm, paeoniflorin and its derivatives might be related to anti-oxidant activity. In this study, we compared paeoniflorin and its derivatives with the root extract of Paeonia lactiflora Red Charm using DPPH assays to measure its antioxidant activities. Paeoniflorin showed the highest radical scavenging activity(%) in $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. its derivative showed the high levels radical scavenging activity(%) in $600{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $800{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, $1000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ similar to ascorbic acid. Taken together, these results suggest that Paeoniflorin and its derivatives may play a role in anti-oxidant acitivity in the root extracts of Paeonia lactiflora. Much of future studies may be needed to develop a potential new anti-oxidant candidates with anti-aging and anti-cancer effects.
