The concept of makwon(膜原) holds great importance in the texts of Seup-yeoljobyeon(濕熱條辨). Research on the concept was based on Seolsaengbaek(薛生白)'s medical theories organized by Wang Maengyeong(王孟英). The results are as follows. Seolsaengbaek describes makwon as half-exterior half-interior(半表半裏) of yang-myeong(陽明) and half-exterior half-interior of the body. The half-exterior half-interior in these definitions each hold a different meaning. In half-exterior half-interior of yang-myeong, it refers to its mediating function, focusing on the location of makwon as yang-myeong. In half-exterior half-interior of the body, it refers to an intersection where the pathological mechanism of damp-heat disease(seup-yeoljeung 濕熱證) begins, and also where the course of the disease changes. This is why treatment of the makwon is included in treating many damp-heat disease symptoms. The conditions derived from the original damp-heat disease can follow the designated prognosis, or follow a reversed course. Because of its intersecting role, treating the makwon can help prevent aggravation. In treatment, consideration of the healthygi(jeonggi 正氣), the bodily fluids(jinaek 津液) with an understanding of the various prognosis is crucial.

What we want to report is the oriental medical treatment of eleven patients with lumbago. The patients had several features in common. First, the source of the lumbago was related to overdrinking or overeating, which is something like food damage(食傷) in oriental medicine. Second, they had symptoms of digestive trouble as well as lower back pain. Third, the R.O.M of lumbar spine was limited but there was no another special abnormality in physical examination. Fourth, singly they had muscular tenderness of Iliopsoas muscle and symptoms by Myofascial pain of Iliopsoas muscle was appeared. We assumed this sort of lumbago to be one due to retention of undigested food(食積) or damp-heat(濕熱) in oriental medicine, similar to Myofascial pain syndrome of Iliopsoas muscle in western counterpart. Acupuncture treatment was done to improve the digestive trobles according to oriental medical theory, and we saw the improvement in VAS score of lower back pain, degree of lumbar flexion, Iliopsoas muscle's tenderness and also digestive trobles. But an objective researches on the relation of lumbago due to retention of undigested food(食積) or damp-heat(濕熱) and myofascial pain syndrome of Iliopsoas muscle are quite lacking. However we think such a clinical approach could be useful in practices of oriental medicine increase in curative effect.

Output power of photovoltaic (PV) modules installed outdoors decreases every year due to environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet irradiations. In order to promote the installation of PV modules, the reliability must be guaranteed. One of the important factors affecting reliability is intermetallic compounds (IMC) layer formed in ribbon solder joint. For this reason, various studies on soldering properties between the ribbon and cell have been performed to solve the reliability deterioration caused by excessive growth of the IMC layer. However, the IMC layer of the PV module interconnected by multi-wires has been studied less than using the ribbon. It is necessary to study soldering characteristics of the multi-wire module for improvement of its reliability. In this study, we analyzed the growth of IMC layer of the PV module with multi-wire and the degradation of output power through damp-heat test. The fabricated modules were exposed to damp-heat conditions (85 ºC and 85 % relative humidity) for 1000 hours and the output powers of the modules before and after the damp-heat test were measured. Then, the process of dissolving ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) as an encapsulant of the modules was performed to observe the IMC layer. The growth of IMC layer was evaluated using OM and FE-SEM for cross-sectional analysis and EDS for elemental mapping. Based on these results, we investigated the correlation between the IMC layer and output power of modules.

Object : This paper is designed to inquire into the influence of eating habits on the emotion of modem people. Method : The methodology is used that searches for materials such as books and treatises on the relationship between eating habits and emotion. Result : Meat used for fast food comes from cows that are fed the feed containing growth hormone and antibiotic. Growth hormone extremely supplements fire or yang within the body while antibiotics undermines the process of yin, leading to an accumulation of damp-heat and inflammation of ministerial fire. Additives contained in instant foods also impinge on the process of yin, leading to poor digestion, damp-heat toxins and ministerial fire. Excessive consumption of meat results in incomplete combustion of fat and hinders the formation of essence. Subsequently, ministerial fire becomes hyperactive as a result of the lack of yin energy. Increased meat consumption in the human diet is coupled with unhealthy eating pattern in which people eat too much for dinner and too quickly. Eating too much disturbs digestion, making it slow and incomplete, leading to excess damp-heat conditions, insufficient amount of vital essence and eventually hyperactive ministerial fire. Milk is considered a catalyst of faster growth, making it suitable for calves. Milk intake rapidly increases the balance of yang and eventually cause hyperactivity of ministerial fire. Conclusion : It is estimated that the eating habits of modern people cause the process of yang, making them feel restless, impatient and aggressive.

To guarantee life time more than 20 years for manufacturer without stopping photovoltaic(PV) system, it is really important to test the module in realistic time and condition compared to outside weather. In here, we tested PV modules in highly stressed condition compared to IEC standards. In IEC 61215 and IEC 61646 standards, damp-heat, thermal cycle(TC200) and mechanical test are main test items for evaluating long-term durability of PV module in controlled temperature and humidity condition. So in this paper, we have lengthened the test time for TC200 and damp-heat test and increased the loading stress on surface of module. Through this test, we can get some clue of proper the method for measuring realistic life cycle of PV modules and suggested the minimum time for PV test method. The detail description is specified as the following paper.

Objective: This study reports on a treatment case of Soojeom-san plus Jeungmiyijin-tang (SJJI) on gastroesophageal reflux disease with hiatal hernia. Method: We considered a male patient suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease with hiatal hernia because of blood stasis and damp-heat of the spleen and stomach pattern and prescribed SJJI. The progress was evaluated using the frequency scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (FSSG) score, and the visual analogue scale for abdominal pain, sore stomach, and other symptoms. Results: The patient's symptoms, which included abdominal pain, sore stomach, dyspepsia, anorexia, insomnia, etc., almost disappeared. Conclusion: SJJI can be used for patients who have a chronic condition of gastroesophageal reflux disease with hiatal hernia because of blood stasis and a pattern of damp-heat of the spleen and stomach.

To analyze the phenomenon of corrosion in the PV module, we experimented damp heat test at $85^{\circ}C$/85% relative humidity(RH) and $65^{\circ}C$/85% RH for 2,000 hours, respectively. We used 30 mini-modules designed of 6inch one cell. Despite of 2,000 hours test, measured $P_{max}$ is not reached failure which is defined less than 80% compared to initial $P_{max}$. Therefore, we calculate proper curve fitting over 2,000 hours. Data less than 80% $P_{max}$ is found and B10 lifetime is calculated by the number of failure specimens and weibull distribution. Using B10 lifetime that the point of failure rate 10% and Peck's model, the predictable equation of lifetime was derived under temperature and humidity condition.

Dyshidrotic eczema is a eczema making vesicles at the hand and foot with pruritus, tend to chronically recurred. It is caused to retention of Damp-heat in interior(濕熱蘊積), interior heat due to Yin deficiency(陰虛內熱) in Oriental medicine. We treated a patient who suffered from recurred dyshidrotic eczema differentiated with retention of Damp-heat in interior(濕熱蘊積) with Chunggisangagam(淸肌散加減). After about 30 days of treatment with Chunggisangagam(淸肌散加減), acupunture and aroma therapy, we observed an improvement. Based on this experience, it is considered that the Oriental medicine can be applied to the treatment of dyshidrotic eczema.

The study has been carried out to investigate of the Contact dermatitis by referring to 37 literature. The results were as follows; 1. In oriental medical science, Contact dermatitis is belong to the cartegory of the 'Chilchang(漆瘡)', 'Honyoja(狐尿刺)', 'Bunhwachang(粉花瘡)', 'Goyakpoong(膏藥風)', 'Matongsun(馬桶癬)'. 2. The cause of a disease is combination of internal factor-the weak of skin or the constitutional factor and external factor-the toxic substance. When the toxic substance contacts skin, pathologial change-stagnation of vital energy and blood(氣血鬱滯)-appears, and after the stagnation of vital energy and blood change heat(化火熱). 3. The symptom of a disease is topical itching, burning pain, erythematous papule, vesicle etc in skin in the acute state and itching, pachyderma, lichenification etc in skin in the chronic state. The symptom is differentiated to wind-heat(風熱) syndrom, damp-heat(濕熱) syndrom, toxic heat(熱毒) syndrom in the acute state and blood dryness(血燥) sydrom in the chronic state. 4. The treatment-methodes is as follow ; Until chung dynasty(淸代) the greater part of treatment is externl treatment The present age in china use together internal treatment and external treatment, in the acute state use method of remove heat(淸熱), remove wind(祛風), remove damp(利濕), detoxicating(解毒), remove heat from blood(凉血), in the chronic state use method of remove wind(祛風) and nourishing the blood(養血).

This is a study of two admissional patients whose chief compiaints were yellow color and itching, and fatigue. Diagnosis and treatment was based on overall analysis of symptoms from the point of view of Jaudice due to damp-geat from an Oriental Medical point of view. Injinolyungsangami was administered against Jaudice due to damp-heat and showed desirable effect on more rapid recovery of total bilirubin than previous reports about treating jaudice. Improvement was observed. For lack of objective criteria to evaluate improvement of these symptoms more case studies of this kind, done with screening tests and proper treatment through clinical application of the thinking of Oriental Medicine, will be needed.
