  • Damaged structures change the value of natural properties. The purpose of this study is to detect damage using the difference of natural properties between the healthy state and the damaged state. Anti-optimization method is used to find the conditions that maximize the difference in characteristics between the two contrasting models. In this paper, a algorithm for finding the loading conditions which can maximize the difference of strain energy between the healthy state and the damaged state of truss structures is developed. Numerical examples show that the proposed method is accurate and efficient for truss structures.

  • It is essential to investigate the structure and the main characteristics of BSN (Bio-Sensor Network) platform in built smart healthcare environment while designing healthy housing facilities. For this study, WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) data transmission technologies have been employed with medical sensors, and optimal medical devices would provide various Web 2.0 services by connecting to the WiBro network. The BSN platform normally recognizes in surroundings of WBAN (Wireless Body Area Network) or WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network), and it is possible to manage sensor nodes by utilizing SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and REST (REpresentational State Transfer). In addition, the feature of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for mobile gateway is also included for being adapted to huge network structure. Finally, BSN platform will play a role as important clues for developing personal WSN service models for smart healthy housing properties.

  • Generally, normal cells synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria. However, they produce ATP through lactic acid fermentation on hypoxic condition. Interestingly, many cancer cells rely on aerobic glycolysis for ATP generation instead of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, which is termed as "Warburg effect". According to results from recent researches on differences of cancer cell metabolism from normal cell metabolism and because chemotherapy to suppress rapidly growing cells, as a side effect of cancer treatment, can still target healthy cells, there is merit in the development of small-molecule inhibitors targeting metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDHK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and monocarboxylate transporter (MCT). For new anticancer therapy, in this review, we show recent advances in study on cancer cell metabolism and molecules targeting metabolic enzymes which are importantly associated with cancer metabolism for cancer therapy. Furthermore, we would also like to emphasize the necessity of development of molecules targeting metabolic enzymes using herbal medicines and their constituents for anticancer drugs.

  • Medical science is an area of study that focuses on maintaining health and treating disease. However, modern medicine focuses on treating disease and neglects methodology of maintaining health. Although the definition of heal this defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) and as the concept of harmonizing Yin and Yang in Korean medicine, there is no specific details regarding the definition. Thus, the following conclusion was obtained after the concept of health is viewed through Yin-Yang(陰陽), Vital Essence(精), Qi(氣), and Healthy Person(平人). Although Yin and Yang have opposite properties, they work very closely, maintaining the overall balance and harmony. Secondly, Vin and Yang would each function by the effects of one another, and the body could maintain normal physiological activities through this function. Thirdly, it maintains normal physiological state through the ascending Kidney-Water and descending Heart-Yang(水升火降). Fourthly, Vital Essence is divided into the congenital Essence(先天之精) and the acquired Essence(後天之精) in which the former is related with reproduction and the latter, nourishing. Fifthly, Qi is resistant to pathogens and related with the physique so that Qi and physique should be balanced. Sixthly, Healthy Person is the state where the exchange of Qi-Blood is active.

  • Dampness is usually caused by the disorder of gi(氣) function, splenic dysfunction. It can be divided into exogenous and endogenous according to the route of invasion. The symptoms of dampness include heaviness of body and four limbs, heaviness of head like being bound, heaviness and lassitude of the whole body. Prescriptions for eliminating dampness are mostly composed of drugs that are aromatic, warm, dry, sweet and bland and can promote diuresis. This group of prescriptions tends to consume and impair body fluid. For this reason, they should be carefully used for patients with deficiency of eum(陰) and body fluid, or those who have weak constitution after illness. In order to select the right therapy for dampness, we must carefully analyze the state of dampness and the condition of healthy gi(氣), and distinguish the relationship between dampness and the healthy state of internal organs.

  • The term '健康(heathy condition)' does not appear in East Asian medical classics. Its root comes from the ancient word 'hal' which can be translated as 'hale', 'whole', 'sound in wind and limb', and it means 'the physical state is flawless, whole, satisfactory, and strong'. The Japanese translated it into the Chinese letters 건강 in the 19th century and this was spread during the Japanese occupation era. This study is an attempt to explore what "huangdineijing" (the most representative medical documents of East Asian medicine) mentions about healthy condition, which is as a term to express the body's ideal state and what other concepts exist that correspond to 健康.

  • This research has studied the people's perception and understanding of the 'Healthy Family Act' that has been enacted and practised from the year 2005. For this purpose, a survey has been conducted during October 2004 in several central and local cities in Korea, including Seoul, and a total of 741 samples have been used for the final analysis. The results of this study is as follows. The participants showed a very low level of recognition of the 'Healthy Family Act', and they Perceived that establishing a home-friendly atmosphere was of primary importance among the tasks that should be conducted by the State and local governments to encourage 'healthy families' The participants chose 'supporting the mental & physical health of family members' for the government supporting programs to make healthy families, and chose 'healthy life cultures such as clothes, food, and housing' for the government programs to support the everyday living cultures of the people. 1 Two thirds(2/3) of the participants indicated a willingness to participate in voluntary activities, and more than half of the participants said that they will participate in educational programs. Also, the participants indicated that divorce counselling should be offered only to the people who want the counselling, and as far as 'contents' are concerned, the participants indicated that 'the upbringing of children' should be the most important subject of the counselling. Finally, the participants indicated a willingness of participating educational programs in the order of parent education, family ethics education, realization of family values and family life education.
