Recently we observed and treated a 49-year-old postmenopausal female with enlarged uterine myoma who taking through the hormone replacement therapy(H.R.T). We regard the cause of this case as insufficiency of kidney-yin(腎陰虛), stagnation or the phlegm and pathologic blood(痰瘀阻滯) and H.R.T. ln general cases, myomas grow in size if estrogen and progesterone is present and do not increase in size if estrogen and progesterone levels are low. So if a woman can get to menopause without having symptoms from the myomas, then it is likely that she will never have problems from the growths that require treatment. But Taking postmenopausal estrogen and progestin replacement therapy can cause myomas to grow. So we recommended her to stop the H.R.T. gave herbal-medicine and acupuncture therapy. Thus we could get a good result as follows. The uterine myomas were significantly declined but no change on it's characters. Hot flush and general conditions were also significantly improved And body weight was lessened for about 4.7kg. But vaginal dryness was appeared, So we planed another therapy for that symptom.

본 논문에서는 스마트폰 앱의 파일 접근 중 상당 부분이 1회성 쓰기 참조라는 것을 분석하고 이러한 특성을 고려한 버퍼캐쉬 관리 기법을 제안한다. 버퍼캐쉬는 여러 번 참조되는 파일 데이터를 스토리지 접근 없이 메모리에서 처리하여 성능 개선을 도모하지만, 쓰기 참조가 발생한 경우에는 짧은 시간 내에 스토리지에 직접 반영하여 시스템 크래쉬에 대비한다. 제안하는 기법은 1회의 쓰기만 발생한 캐쉬 데이터의 경우 스토리지 반영 직후 버퍼캐쉬에서 쫓아내어 캐쉬의 공간 효율을 높인다. 다양한 스마트폰 앱에 적용한 시뮬레이션 실험 결과 제안하는 기법은 기존 버퍼캐쉬 관리 기법에 비해 캐쉬적중률을 5-33% 향상시키고, 전력소모를 27-92% 줄일 수 있음을 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the medicalizing process of menopanse with literature review, and then is to explore the knowledge of 'menopausal syndrome' critically, focused on four critics on the biomedical model which were suggested by Mishler. Although menopause is a natural biological phenomenon, the view of many medical researchers and practitioners is that menopause is a disease. After synthetic estrogen was developel in 1938, physicians did agree on two basic assumptions : menopausal women should be managed by physicians, and medical intervention should be given. Menopouse was defined as a deficiency disease (estrogen difficiency) by Wilson in 60's and is redefined as a cause of disease(for example, osteoporosis, heart disease) at the present. But the other view of non-medical researcher is that 'menopausal syndrome' as a disease is constructed medically. It was reported that Only hot flush and sweating of physical symptoms experienced by menopausal women, were associated with menopause. Symptoms of menopausal syndrome are also related with symptons of aging. So, it cann't conclude that menopausal syndrome is resulted from menopause, and it cann't be only explained that menopausal syndrome is related causally to estrogen deficiency, and only treatment by ERT or HRT is best relevant. It cann't assume that menopausal syndrome is a common phenomenon to all menopause women, because culture affected on women's experience of menopause.

The San Hu Pung could related with dysautonomia. So we studied the character of the postpartum disease patients as heart rate variability(H.R.V) Methods: The subjects were 63 women who visited Kangnam Kyunghee hospital for postpartum management from February 2006 to June 2007. From history taking, 42 symptomatic women was divided at the postpartum disease group, 21 asymptomatic women was divided at the control group. All women was measured HRV, we studied the difference of HRV between two group. Results: Compared with the control group, SDNN of the disease group was significant low. TP, LF and HF of the disease group were significantly lower than the control group. Conclusion: The difference of HRV between the disease group and the control group was significant. The results of HRV on the disease group could mean that San hu pung is related dysautonomia. The more studies to diagnose San hu pung would be needed.
