Background and objective: Various images from visual display terminals (VDTs) as well as living lighting are important parts of our daily life; thus, properly controlling the lighting environment - that is, illuminance, color temperature and good images from VDTs - can have a substantial effect on improving the mental health and work efficiency in everyday life. We examined electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) responses to various lighting conditions in 25 university students as they viewed images of a green landscape or traffic congestion. Methods: EEG was performed in darkness and when the room was illuminated with 10 different light-emitting diode (LED) color temperatures, while the EEG and HRV responses to green landscape or traffic congestion image stimuli were measured in darkness and during room illumination with three different LED color temperatures. Results: We found a significant difference between darkness and high LED illumination (400 lx) at 7 (CZ, F4, FZ, O1, O2, OZ, and T6) of 30 channels, while the alpha wave activity increased during darkness. In the second experiment, the green landscape image stimuli in the 30 lx-2600 K lighting condition elicited theta wave activity on the EEG, whereas the traffic congestion image stimuli under high LED illumination elicited high beta and gamma wave activities. Moreover, the subjects exhibited better stress coping ability and heart rate stability in response to green landscape image stimuli under illuminated conditions, according to their HRV. Conclusion: These results suggest that lower color temperatures and illumination levels alleviate tension, and that viewing green landscape image stimuli at low illumination, or in darkness, is effective for reducing stress. Conversely, high illumination levels and color temperatures are likely to increase tension and stress in response to traffic congestion image stimuli.

Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the use of heart rate variability on a stroke patient with autonomic dysfunction and the effectiveness of Bunshimgi-eum. Case report: The patient showed autonomic dysfunction, including chest discomfort, 煩燥 (sweating, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, lightheadedness), and abdomen discomfort (dyspepsia, heartburn) after ischemic stroke. She was treated with a herbal medicine (Bunshimgi-eum) through complex Korean medicine treatment. The effect was evaluated using heart rate variability (HRV), Mini-Mental State Examination-DS (MMSE-DS), mean pulse rate, and subjective percentage of symptoms. After treatment, the HRV score, MMSE-DS score, and subjective percentage of symptoms improved, and the pulse rate decreased from the upper boundary value. Discussion: The results suggest that HRV may be useful in evaluating stroke patients with autonomic dysfunction and that Bunshimgi-eum is suitable for treatment.

본 연구는 human rotavirus (HRV)의 검출법을 최적화하기 위해 real-time RT-PCR과 세포 배양법을 이용하여 여러 가지 탈리 농축법을 비교 및 평가하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 채소류 중 배추, 상추, 깻잎을 선정하여 바이러스 희석액을 접종하고 탈리액 비교를 위하여 buffer A (100 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM glycine, 3% beef extract, pH 9.5)와 buffer B (250 mM Threonine, 300 mM NaCl, pH 9.5)를 이용하여 탈리하였고, 농축방법을 비교하기 위하여 PEG (polyethylene glycol) 침전법 또는 filtration [Nanoceram filter$^{(R)}$ (Argonide corporation)]을 이용하여 농축하였다. 또한 바이러스의 감염성 평가를 위하여 MA-104 cell을 배양하여 탈리, 농축 방법을 거쳐 회수된 HRV를 접종하고 1, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168시간 후 세포를 수거하여 real-time RT-PCR을 시행하고 세포병변을 관찰하였다. 탈리 용액은 buffer A가 회수율 29.54%로 buffer B의 18.32%보다 더 뛰어난 탈리효과를 보였으며 농축방법을 비교했을 때 filtration 방법이 회수율 51.89%를 나타내며 PEG 침전법에 비해서 바이러스의 농축에 효과적이었으며 검출 소요시간이나 간단한 과정 면에서 효율적이었다. ICC/real-time RT-PCR을 시행하였을 때 세포병변 72시간 후부터 나타나기 시작했지만 Ct value는 48시간부터 감소하기 시작하여 더 빠른 시간 내에 감염성을 평가할 수 있었다. 따라서, filtration과 integrated/cell culture real-time RT-PCR을 이용하면 기존의 검출방법보다 빠른 시간 내에 바이러스 검출이 가능할 것으로 여겨진다.

수면단계는 수면감을 평가하는 데 있어서 중요한 생리지표로서 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 수면다원검사를 이용한 전통적 수면단계 분류방법은 뇌전도(electroencephalogram : EEG), 안전도(electrooculogram : EOG), 심전도(electrocardiogram : ECG), 근전도(electromyogram : EMG) 등을 종합적으로 측정하므로 수면단계를 비교적 정확히 분류할 수 있지만 피험자에게 심한 구속감을 주는 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는, 각성상태에서 교감신경계가 지배적인 반면에 수면 중에는 부교감 신경계가 더 활동적인 점에 착안하여 수면단계를 간단히 분류할 수 있는 방법을 찾고자 수면단계에 따른 심박동변이도(heart rate variability : HRY)를 분석하였다. 이 실험에는 건강한 대학생 6명이 2일씩 전체 12회의 야간수면에 참여하였다. 수면다원검사 장치를 이용하여 피험자들이 수면을 취하고 있는 동안, EEG, EOG, ECG, EMG(턱 및 다리)를 측정하여 수면단계를 "Standard scoring system for sleep stage"에 따라 자동으로 분류하였다. 그런 뒤, 본 연구를 통하여 제작된 Sleep Data Acquisition/Analysis 시스템을 이용하여 수면다원검사 장치로부터 ECG신호만 추출하여 HRV의 전력스펙트럼을 3개의 영역[저주파수대역(low frequency : LF), 중간주파수대역(medium frequency : MF), 고주파수대역(high frequency : HF)]으로 나누어 분석하였다. 단일채널 ECG를 이용하여 수면단계별로 HRV의 LF/HF를 분석한 결과, W(wakefulness)단계가 2단계에 비하여 325%높게(p＜.05), 3단계에 비하여 628%높게(p＜.001), 4단계에 비하여 800%높게(p＜.001) 나타났으며, 4단계는 REM(rapid eye movement)단계에 비하여 427% 낮게(p＜.05), 1단계에 비하여 418% 낮게(p＜.05) 나타났다. 또한 LF/HF가 수면단계에 따라 변화하는 양상은 W, REM, 1, 2, 3, 4단계의 순으로 단조 감소하였다. 한편, 수면단계별 MF/(LF+HF)의 차이는 유의하지 않았으나 표본집단의 기술통계치를 살펴본 바 REM단계와 3단계의 평균치가 가장 높았다.치가 가장 높았다.

The information of the accompanying symptoms and types of insomnia was based on each patients' progress note. Results : l. There was no significant differences in the characteristics of HRV between male and female. 2. The most frequent symptom shown among the insmonia patents' was headache(41.14%). 3. Comparing the symptoms between the gender, female patients had more dry mouth, alternative periodic chill and fever, and hot flush symptoms than the male patients. 4. Comparing the symptoms between the age groups(divided in two), the lower age group (20~59) had more dizziness and constipation symptoms than the higher age group (over 60). 5. Comparing the types of insomma between the age group, the higher age group (over 60) had more termination insomnia. 6. The types of insomnia of the entire insomnia patients were onset insomnia (73.1%), maintenance insomnia(20.6%), termination insomma(l7.1 %), shallow sleep (52.6%), listed by order of frequency. 7. The patients who takes hypnotics had more anorexia symptoms than the patients who doesn't take hypnotics. 8. There was no visible differences of the average fractal portrait between male and female. The age group of 20~30yrs. had the highest average fractal portrait, and the age group of 30~59yrs. the second highest, and the age group over 60yrs. the lowest. 9. The average of the regulation reserves of the autonomic nervous system(B2) - was lower than the regulation level of the ANS at the present (Bl). 10. When compared the priority of the function of the ANS, it showed that the proportion of HF($38.61{\pm}29.19%$)was the most, and than VLF($30.65{\pm}23.36%$), LF($20.04{\pm}19.13%$) the least. 11. The average of the compensation level of the central nervous system at present(Cl) - was lower than the compensation reserves of the CNS(C2). 12. The average of the control reserves of the cerebrum(D2) - was lower than the control level of the cerebrum at the present (Dl). 13. There was no visible differences between different sexes and ages in pulse rate. 14. The abdomen fat ratio above the line of the insomnia patients was 77.97% in male and 93.1% in female. Both sexes showed that insomnia patients had more abdomen fat that the standard, and female patients had more abd. fat than male patients. Conclusions : This study shows that the HRV of insomnia patients had no significant differences between gender. Fractal portrait, HF, LF and VLF of the insomnia patients are in inverse proportion to the age. The study of the Body Component Analysis showed that female had more abdomen fat than male, and both gender showed more abdomen fat than the standard. When looked into the accompanying symptoms of the insomnia patients, the symptoms show differences according to gender, age and hypnotics taking, as shown as below. In the entire patients, Headache was the most accompanying symptom. Female had more dry mouth, alternative periodic chill and fever, and hot flush symptoms than male. Higher age groups had more dizziness and constipation as accompanying symptoms than lower age groups. Patients who takes hypnotics had more anorexia than those who dont.

목적 : 자궁경부암환자의 근치목적의 방사선치료 성적을 보고하기에 앞서 본원에서 사용하고 있는 자궁강내치료기기의 선량투여 방법의 정확성을 평가해보고 각 장기의 흡수선량을 대변할수 있는 예측력이 어느정도인지 알아보고자 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 조준필름의 측면사진에서는 본원에서 현재 사용중인 방광(SBD)과 직장(SRD)의 기준흡수점의 흡수선량을 확인 하였다. 골반강 자기공명상의 측면사진에서 종양의 두 횡축과 종축의 직경을 곱하여 종양부피(TV)를 측정하였고, 기본으로 사음되고 있는 등선량곡선을 그린후 선량기준점 A 의 등선량 곡선내에 자궁경부 종양이 포함되는지 대상 환자별로 확인하였으며, 방광(MBD)과 직장(MRD)에서 보여주는 최대흡수선량점의 값을 측정하였고, 또한 선량기준점 A의 등선량 곡선내에 포함되는 방광(HBV)과 직장(HRV)의 면적을 계산해 보았다. 결 과 : 45례를 대상으로 분석하였다. 이중 53%(24/45) 에서만이 선량기준점 A의 등선량곡선내에 종양이 잘 포함되었다. 적절한 포함정도는 병기보다는 원발종양의 크기와 통계학적으로 유의한 관련성을 보여주었으며 종양의 측면지름의 크기가 3cm 이상인 종양은 불충분한 포함을 보여 주었다. 조준필름의 측면상의 방광과 직장의 기준흡수선량값은 자기공명사진상의 방광과 직장의 최대흡수값과 각각 유의한 관계를 보여주지 못했으나, 조준필름의 직장의 흡수선량값(SRD)은 HRV 와 유의한 관련성을 보여주었다. HBV 이나 HRV 은 오히려 자기공명사진상에서 측정한 종양의 크기(TV) 와 유의한 연관성을 보여 주었다. 결론 : 본원에서 사용하고 있는 선량계산 방법은 개별적인 종양의 크기를 고려해주지 못하였으며, 특히 방광의 흡수선량계산에 있어서 실제 흡수선량을 대변할수 있는 예측도가 낮아서 이에 대한 환자 개개인의 종양의 특성을 고려한 선량계산이 필요하리라 사료되는 바이다.

Objective : This empirical research is performed to recognize diagnostic concept, pattern identification, and clinical features of Hwa-byung. In other words, the aims of this research are to examine the differences of the diagnosis between Hwa-Byung and the other psychiatric disorders, and to find out pattern identification, and clinical characteristics of Hwa-Byung for prescriptions of this syndrome. Method : In the experiment, there were participated 30 patients who were met for our criterions according to HBDIS (Hwa-Byung Diagnostic interview Schedule). These patients were diagnosed as Axis1 according to criterions of DSM-IV with administering SCID-I. OMS-prime was utilized for finding out pattern identification of oriental medicine. Symptom Check List-90-Revision(SCL-90-R), Hemilton rating Scale for Depression(HRSD), Heart Rate Variability(HRV), and Digital Infrared Thermographic imaging(D.I.T.I.) were also utilized to discover clinical characteristics of Hwa-Byung Patients. Results : 1. Regarding Sex-ratio, male subjects were 3(10%), and female subjects are 27(90%). The age of subjects ranged from 22 year old to 75 $(51.87{\pm}11.04;\:Mean{\pm}SD)$ 2. In the results of diagnosis on the basis of DSM-IV, the 17(56.67%) patients were MOD (Major Depressive Disorder), the 5(16.67%) patients were USD (Undifferentiated Somatoform Disorder), the 4(13.33%) patients were Dysthymic Disorder, the 3(10%) patients were GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder), and the 1(3.33%) was Panic Disorder. Two of the patients who diagnosed as MOD were diagnosed as Panic Disorder too, and one of them was diagnosed as Pain Disorder too. 3. Regarding pattern identification, Hwa-Byung is positively correlated to deficiency of Heart(心). and then to stagnancy of Liver-Gall bladder. Hwa-Byung is correlated deficiency symptom-complex rather than excessiveness symptom-complex. That is also correlated positively to Pathological heat and fire. 4. In SCL90-R, the mean of PSDI was $(75.3{\pm}10.7;\:Mean{\pm}SD)$. The each mean of the other 11 factors was distributed between50-70. 5. The mean of HRSD was $(17.9{\pm}5.6;\:Mean{\pm}SD)$ in the entire subject's group. Then the group of MDD was $20.9{\pm}4.4$ and the group of USD was $12.0{\pm}4.8$ 6. In the results of HRV. the mean of TP is $972.4{\pm}1174(Mean{\pm}SD)$, this is lower than normal range 1000-200. The other factors were within normal range. Then, there were no significant differences between them (p<0.05). 7. The temperatures of each acupoint have significant differences between HNl(印堂) and PC6(內關), between CV17(顫中) and PC6(內關), between HN1(印堂) and CV8(神闕), between CV17(顫中) and CV8(神闕) in comparison with the average of body temperature in the use of D.I.T.I. (p<0.01) 8. In the analysis of correlation between SCL-90-R, HRSD, HRV. and D.I.T.I. there were no significant results. According to results that the correlation was analyzed with only the MDD group as subjects, there was negative correlation between RMSSD of HRV and HRSD, between LF of HRV and PDSIof SCL-90-R, and between LF/HF of HRV and ANX, PSY, and PDSI of SCL-90-R. Conclusion : In the observation of clinical features of 30 cases of Hwa-Byung patients by using diverse structured tests, there could make diverse diagnosis as depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and Somatoform Disorder. Particularly. MDD was highly distributed. Considering oriental medicine's pattern identification of Hwa-Byung, this syndrome is related strongly to Heart, and there were demonstrated deficiency symptom-complex, and Pathological heat and fire. One of the limits of this study is lack of control subject's group, therefore, in the future study, it requires reexamination through a comparative research with these data to complete this study.
