Objective : This study was done to observe the effects on the thermal changes of herbal acupuncture. There were remarkable local thermal changes between pre and post herbal acupuncture therapy on D.I.T.I. or not. If there are those, we examine how long changes of those were maintained, what is the adequate interval on herbal acupuncture therapy. Methods : D.I.T.I, was used to study the local thermal changes in herbal acupuncture therapy. Determination of this analysis periods are pre and post-therapy(1hour, 1day, 7days later). The study group was divided into six groups that are NS group(No.=20), CF group(No.=22), BU group(No.=23), BUM group(No.=19), HP group(No.=20) and BV group(No.=l9). The herbal acupuncture was injected by 0.2ml divided into 0.05ml at the Fengmen(風門: B12), Feishu(肺兪: B13), Fufen(附分: B41), Pohu(魄戶: B42) 4 points. Then, we checked the thermal changes of their point after performing. Results : The following results were obtained ; 1. In CF groups, significant dermatothermal difference between pre and post therapy was not checked, In BU group that continued until post-therapy 1day, in HP group until 1hour, in BV group until 2days. In BUM, HP and BV group, Most dermatothermal difference was checked at post-therapy 1hour, in BU group at post-therapy 1day. 2. At post-therapy 1 hour, significant dermatothermal different between pre and post therapy was checked among BU group, BUM group, HP group and BV group. At post-therapy 1day and 2days, checked among BU group, BUM group and BV group. At post-therapy 7days, not checked among all groups. The group that highest dermatothermal difference were checked is BV group.

This study attempts to measure body sizes and somatotypes of 844 female middle and high students girls in their growth period and to investigate characteristics of each of the measured somatotypes. The data used for this study were 50 items of body sizes obtained from anthropometric measurements. The purposes of the study are as follows: 1. to analyze physical characteristics according to age. 2. to extract factors of somatotypes using factor analyses. 3. to classify somatotypes according to physical characteristics using cluster analyses. The study results were as follows: 1. TH anthropometric measurements indicated that three existed collective patterns of somatotypes across Group I(12∼13 years old), Group II(14∼15 years old), and Group III(16∼18 years old). 2. Through factor analyses, 6 factors were yielded from each age group. The cumulative proportions of these factors were 77% for Group I, 75% for Group II, and 72% for Group III. Factor I indicates a horizontal size factor and Factor 2 indicates a vertical size factor. 3. Group I and Group II ere classified into 5 types and Group III was classified as 3 types. In Group I, middle height and a little slim types were most prevalent(28%). In Group II, low height and very slim types were most prevalent(28.9%). Finally, In Group III, low height and slim types were most prevalent(4.6%)

The Purpose of the current study is to identify the differences between Samsung and Hyundai Group and the causes why the differences occurred. The study focuses on the founders of the two group as a main source of the differences, especially brain preference of the two founders. Two steps were employed to perform the study. Firstly, the two founders' characteristics were analyzed by using archival research. It was implicitly hypothesized that Group founders' characteristics explained the differences of the two Groups. It was found that the founder of Samsung Group, the late president Lee emphasized rationality, analysis, and cause/effect relationship and low risk taking, suggesting that he had left-brain preference. In contrast. the late president Chung, the founder of Hyundai Group, emphasized intuition, wholeness, contextual meaning, and risk taking, showing that he had right-brain preference. Secondly, a comparison between the two groups was performed in terms of business and financial risk in corporate portfolio, and management system. It was found that Hyundai Group was pursuing higher risk than Samsung Group. And it was observed that Samsung Group put more emphasis on formality in decision making and systematic control, and less emphasis on risk taking than Hyundai Group. From the two step research relationship between brian preference and management was reasoned. Research implications and limitations were discussed at the end of the study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the radiological results of fixation using the femoral neck system (FNS) and cannulated screw (CS) for treatment of femoral neck fractures. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of patients with femoral neck fractures who underwent internal fixation and had follow-up of more than six months from 2010 to 2020 was conducted. A total of 87 patients were enrolled in the study. The FNS group included 20 patients and the CS group included 67 patients. Classification of fractures was performed according to Garden and Pauwels classification. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, sliding distance of the implant, lateral soft tissue irritation caused by implants, and complications were evaluated. Results: The mean operation time was 40.30 minutes in the FNS group and 46.84 minutes in the CS group. The mean intraoperative bleeding volume was 51.25 mL in the FNS group and 72.16 mL in the CS group. Bone union was achieved in 18 patients in the FNS group (90.0%) and in 61 patients in the CS group (91.0%). The mean sliding distance of the implant was 4.06 mm in the FNS group and 3.92 mm in the CS group. No patients in the FNS group and 12 patients in the CS group complained of soft tissue irritation. Conclusion: A shorter operative time, less intraoperative bleeding, and less irritation of soft tissue were observed in the FNS group. FNS could be an alternative to CS for fixation of femoral neck fractures.

The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of psychodrama group counselling, and to determine its applicability as a nursing intervention for the promotion of mental health of clients in their developmental stages. Methodological triangulation was used for research design. For quantitative study, quasi experimental study design with nonequivalent control group was used to test the effects of psychodrama group counselling. For each experimental and control group convenient samples of 15 nursing students were selected, and observed from May to Nov. 2000. For experimental group, the treatment was given for 2 hours each week, totaling 20 hours. The questionnaire consisted of 24 items of physical symptoms from CMI. 40 items of Spielberger Anxiety Scale, and 21 items of Beck Depression Scale. Reflective journal was written by the experimental group. The data were analyzed using chi-square and Mann-Whitney U test. For the qualitative study, the contents of the reflective journal were analyzed into categories and classifications. The results of the study were as follows; 1. There was a significant difference on physical health status between the experimental and the control group 2. There was a significant difference between two groups on the mean scores of mental health before and after psychodrama group counselling. 3. The qualitative analysis of reflective journal resulted in 4 categories and 13 classifications, which was reflected by the experience of the psychodrama group counselling. The four categories were self introspection, psychological support, improvement of interpersonal relationship and self development. The thirteen classifications are self-discovery, discovering others, emotional catharsis, positive thinking, formation of consensus, comforting, being free, being comfortable, understanding, maturing personal relationship, acquiring self-confidence, new challenges, and planning for the future.
