멀티미디어 시스템에서 여러 가지 캐슁 기법들이 제안되어 왔다. 기존의 기법들은 캐쉬 적중률을 높이는 데에 초점을 맞추고 있는 반면, 캐슁 효과에 의해 절약된 디스크 대역을 활용하는 방법을 제시하고 있지는 않다. 멀티미디어 시스템에서는 서비스의 질을 보장하면서 동시에 얼마나 많은 사용자를 서비스할 수 있는 지가 시스템의 성능을 나타내는 가장 중요한 척도이다. 이 점에 착안해 캐슁의 장점을 살리면서 보장형 서비스를 제공하는 PSIC(Preemptive but Safe Interval Caching) 기법이 제안되었지만, 이 기법은 캐쉬 크기를 고정시킴으로써 시스템 환경의 변화에 대처할 수 없다는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서, 우리는 보장형 서비스를 제공하면서 캐슁을 위해 메모리 버퍼를 동적으로 관리함으로써 접근 성향에 상관없이 시스템의 성능을 극대화시킬 수 있는 DIC(Dynamic Interval Caching) 기법을 제안한다. 그리고, PSIC 기법과의 실험적 비교를 통해, DIC가 캐쉬를 최적으로 할당한다는 것을 보였다.

The following conclusions are drawn from Hyungsang medicinal review on th globs hystericus through Donguibogam and other literatures. The globs hystericus appears in the throat and the epigastric region. It is a subjective sensation as if a plum pit is stick in the throat and is compressed, usually ac companied by stuffiness in chest, depression, nausea, and hiccup. But the throat is not marked with redness and swelling. Because Gi stagnation due to seven emotions is the main cause, the globs hystericus is usually followed by Seven Gi injuries, Pain and depressive syndrome due to disorder of Gi, palpitation due to fright, continuous violent palpitation, Gi phlegm, precordial pain with palpitation, epigastric pain due to seven emotions, cough and dyspnea due to disorder of Gi, and six kinds of stagnations. When head and body or chest and abdomen is compared to heaven and earth, the blockage of Gi between heaven and earth is common to the persons with the following charcteristics in Hyungsang; Dam type rather than Bankwang type, Gi type and Shin type rather than deer type and fish type, Taeum and Yangmyeong meridian types out of six meridian types, manly women, womanly man, too long or short neck, and signs of stagnation between the eyebrows. The globus hystericus needs, distinguishing from aphonia, acute tonsilitis, goiter, and pectorial pain with stuffiness. The affected area of aphonia and acute tonsilitis is the throat but they are not cause by the disturbance of seven emotions. Goiter can be distinguished by the changes in the appearance of neck. Even though the symptoms are similar, globus hystericus is caused by the stagnation of Gi, but the pectorial pain with stuffiness, by the insufficiency of the Heart blood. The general prescriptions are Chilgitang, Sachiltang, Gamisachiltang, Gamiijintang, and Sinihwan.

Objectives : The calyx of Diospyros kaki Thunb. has usually been used to treat obstinate hiccup. This study investigated the protective effects of Diospyros kaki using C2C12 myoblasts of H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress. Methods : Cell viability and cytotoxicity were determined by MTT assay. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and reduced glutathione (GSH) were measured by using optical properties. Results : The calyx of Diospyros kaki Thunb. extract showed no toxicity to C2C12 myoblasts until 20 ㎍/mL concentration and increased cell viability compared to the H₂O₂ treated group. The calyx of Diospyros kaki Thunb. extract inhibited the production of ROS and MDA at all concentrations. In addition, the calyx of Diospyros kaki Thunb. extract increased the concentration of GSH. Conclusion : This study provides that the calyx of Diospyros kaki Thunb. can be used as a potential material that exhibit antioxidative and protective effects on H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress in C2C12 Myoblasts.

Diospyros Kaki Thunberg is the species of persimmon tree that grows in Korea. Although its fresh or dried fruits are often served as a desert, it has little been known if persimmon tree has any specific pharmacological action. The leaves and branches of persimmon tree has long been used as folk remedies for palsy and frostbite in the southern part of Korea and it is also in use for the treatment of hiccup and nocturnal enuresis in chinese herbal medicine. Recently it was reported that an intravenous administration of Diospyros Kaki Thunberg ethanol extract (KTEE) into the animals lowered arterial blood pressure. Lee concluded from his study on the mechanism of depressor action of KTEE that at least a part of depressor response he observed was caused by acetylcholine-like action of KTEE. On the other hand little study has been made on the effect of KTEE on the motility of isolated animal intestines. Therefore the present study was undertaken to investigate effect of KTEE and the mechanism of its action on the motility of isolated rabbit duodenum. Ethanol extract of Diospyros Kaki Thunberg was prepared by boiling 1 kg of dried branches of persimmon tree in 1 liter of ethanol and the motility of isolated rabbit duodenum was recorded on physiograph by means of force transducer connected with Magnus apparatus. Doses of KTEE used were $5{\times}10^{-4}gm/ml,\;1{\times}10^{-3}gm/ml,\;and\;2{\times}10^{-3}gm/ml$. And the isolated duodenum was separately pretreated with acetylcholine $(5{\times}10^{-7}gm/ml)$, pilocarpine $(2.5{\times}10^{-6}gm/ml)$, histamine $(5{\times}10^{-6}gm/ml)$ and barium chloride $(2.5{\times}10^{-5}gm/ml)$ in order to find out interactions of these drugs with KTEE. The results obtained are as follows: 1. At doses of $5{\times}10^{-4}gm/ml,\;1{\times}10^{-3}gm/ml$ KTEE reduced contractions of isolated duodenum, while tonus as well as contaction of duodenum were depressed with $2{\times}10^{-3}gm/ml$ of KTEE. 2. Since the inhibitory effect of KTEE on the intestinal motility was not blocked by pretreatment with acetylcholine, pilocarpine, and barium chloride, it was strongly suggested that the inhibitory action of KTEE on intestinal motility is mainly Caused by its antihistamine effect. 3. It is also concluded that the principal substance of KTEE responsible for inhibition of intestinal motility may also have a vasodilating activity and would not be an acetylcholine-like substance in case it is same substance as that cause depressor responses.
