  • This study was performed in order to know the histochemical changes of mucosubstances in mucous glands under normal and dry conditions. The frogs, Rana nigromaculata Hallowell, were collected near Seoul area in mid-August. The experimental group was retained under dry conditions for 12, 24, 30 and 36 hrs to make a comparison to normal group. The results obtained were as follows: 1. Mucosubstances in mucous glands of the frog skin contain neutral mucin and sulfated and non-sulfated mucins. Mucosubstances in the cells of the gland neck are neutral mucin, while the gland body is composed of neutral, sulfated and non-sulfated mucins. 2. Mucosubstances in mucous gland of the frog skin decreased distinctively under dry conditions, as is evident from the hitochemical properties, te neutral mucins were influenced more clearly than acid mucins. 3. Histochemical compositions of the mucosubstances in the cell of the mucous gland (the gland neck and the gland body) were not changed. 4. The phenomena were considered as a general adaptation syndrome to keep homeostasis.

  • Roof and exterior wall of general formal buildings are designed and constructed through design focused exterior wall system and drainage and waterproof roof system. However, there are no classification of exterior wall and roof in freeform buildings and they are integrated as a surface of freeform buildings. Therefore it is necessary to develop the dry roof construction method using double skin roof system satisfying the design and function of the envelope. In this study, we have an effort to develop construction method of double-skin roof system using metal panel and PV.

  • This paper proposes a dry-type surface myoelectric sensor for the myoelectric hand prosthesis. The designed surface myoelectric sensor is composed of skin interface and processing circuits. The skin interface has one reference and two input electrodes, and the reference electrode is located in the center of two input electrodes. Considering the conduction velocity and the median frequency of the myoelectric signal, the inter-electrode distance (IED) between two input electrodes as 18mm, 20mm, and 22mm is selected. The signal processing circuit consists of a differential amplifier with a band pass filter, a band rejection filter for rejecting 60㎐ power-line noise, amplifier, and a level circuit. Using SUS440, six prototype skin interface with different reference electrode shape and IED is fabricated, and their output characteristics are evaluated by output signal obtained from the forearm of a healthy subject. The experimental results show that the skin interface with parallel bar shape and the 18mm IED has a good output characteristics. The fabricated dry-type surface myoelectric sensor is evaluated for the upper-limb amputee.

  • This study attempted to solve daily inconveniences and propose a direction for healthy skin care after investigating eating habits, preferred food and shower frequency and analyzing the relationship between these living habits and perceived skin dryness among adult men in their 30-40s who are suffering from pruritus due to dry skin. Most respondents revealed a high level of inconvenience in their daily lives because of dry skin. According to analysis of the correlation between these life habits and skin dryness, they had an effect on skin dryness in most categories of eating habits, preferred food and shower frequency. In particular, as the amount of smoking or preference for sweet food increased, skin dryness became more serious. Therefore, it appears it would be important to control the intake of preferred food and have healthy eating habits in that eating habits and smoking are correlated with skin health, and skin health is an indicator of physical health.

  • 1. Autum-dryness syndrome(秋燥) is caused by dry-warm or dry=-cool weather condition when lower-warmer Eumfen(下焦陰分) was injured by jung hyoul hatal(精血下脫) or taking medicines of dryness in autumn. 2. The symptoms of autum-dryness syndrome are headach, fever, chilling, anhydrosis, dry cough, tinnitis, dry lip, dry skin, chest discomfort in cool-dryness syndrome(凉燥) and headach, fever, dry cough, paroxymal cough, dry skin, chest pain, polydipsia, tinnitis, eye redness, sore throat in heat-dryness syndrome(溫燥). 3.

  • This study was undertaken to find out how much influence eating habits and food preferences have on basic skin types, namely dry skin, normal skin, oily skin, and combination skin, as well as troubled skin, such as acne skin, sensitive skin, pigment disorder skin and unbalanced oil and moisture skin. The aim of this study was to help establish good eating habits and to reform food preferences in order to maintain healthy skin. For this study, a suey on the eating habits and food preferences of 206 college women in the metropolitan area was conducted. Statistics Program SPSS (ver130.0) was used to analyze the results of the material obtained from the survey. The survey revealed that participants with basic skin types ate a variety of foods, enjoy soft drinks, juice and supplementary food, while those with troubled skin types had daily breakfast and substitute snacks for meals. The survey also showed that alcohol is the dangerous factor for the cause of both sensitive skin and pigment disorder skin. And it showed that various nutrition intake is the main factor for unbalanced oil and moisture skin.
