Objectives : This study was performed to examine the hypothesis that the structural imbalance affect cardiac function and autonomic reflex system and to investigate the possibility of the chiropractic care for cardiovascular system. Methods : 78 of Dong-Guk University students with structural imbalance were recruited for the investigation from March to June 2007. Heart rate variability, Buss and Durkee Hostility inventory(BDHI) and physical examinations to evaluate psoas muscle contracture were performed. Results : Left psoas muscle contracture was associated with decrease of LF/HF ratio(p=0.048). Conclusion : Left side contracture of psoas muscle showed a tendency to decrease sympathetic activity.

In this paper, we have developed smart-phone App(application) for screening Dementia using bionic sensors, urine test and questionnaire. Since small amounts of urinary protein strongly predict faster cognitive decline in the elderly, smart-phone based urinalysis is adopted to screen dementia more accurately as well as bionic sensors such as $SpO_2$ and HRV(Heart Rate Variability). Firstly, DI(Dementia Index) is calculated from urinalysis, two bionic sensors and electric questionnaire, and then compared to the threshold from clinical test. Finally the results of Dementia screening is shown in your smart-phone and useful information to prevent or relieve Dementia is also given. We performed simple testing on persons aged over 60 and found out the proposed application can be useful devices for screening Dementia easily and quickly.

심박변이도는 자율신경계의 균형 상태를 나타내는 중요한 지표이다. 동적인 환경내에서 항상성을 유지할려는 인체가 각 신경계를 조율하는 수치로 심박의 변화를 시간영역과 주파수영역으로 나누어 그 값을 측정하여 분석하였다. 그 중 심전도의 측정방식에서 간략히 하고자 광학적 방법으로 심장의 박동을 측정하는 PPG 변화량이 심박변이도와 유사하다는 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 하지만, 심전도와 PPG 는 혈압의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서 운동부하 실험을 주어 혈압을 상승 시킨뒤, 심전도를 통해 산출한 심박변이도와 PPG를 통해 산출한 맥박변이도를 비교하여 두 상관성에 대하여 연구하였다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Gamisoyo-san on severe menopausal disorder patients. Methods : We recruited 2 severe menopausal disorder patients who have been suffering from hot flush and heat sensation. The patients had been administrated Gamisoyo-san. The patients of severe menopausal disorder had been estimated with Kupperman's index(KI), Menopause rating scale(MRS), Beck's depression Inventory(BDI), Visual analogue scale(VAS) and Heart rate variability (HRV). Kupperman's index, Menopause rating scale and Beck's depression inventory for every seven days. We measured VAS everyday. Heart rate variability was estimated twice, before and after treatment. Results : After the treatments, symptoms of menopausal disorder were decreased. Conclusions : This study suggests that Gamisoyo-san is significantly effective on severe menopausal disorder patients with hot flush and heat sensation.

본 연구에서는 긴장 스트레스를 평가하기 위하여 작업 중에 긴장 조건을 부가하고 행동량, 주관량, 생리량을 계측하여 통계적으로 긴장 상태 유무와 작업 난이도에 따른 변화를 분석하였다. 긴장 스트레스를 유발시키기 위하여 20대 남자 대학생 3D명에게 세 가지 레벨의 트랙킹 작업을 수행하게 하면서 긴장상태를 유발하여 행동량, 주관신고와 생리신호를 측정하였다. 행동량과 주관신고의 결과를 사용하여 본 연구에서 상정된 작업난이도와 긴장조건이 적절한 가를 살펴보고 생리신호를 사용하여 작업난이도와 긴장감을 분석하였다. 난이도가 낮을 때 HRV의 회귀도와 GSR의 평균값은 긴장 조건이 있을 때가 없을 때에 비해서 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났으며 난이도가 높을 때에는 피부온도의 값이 긴장 조건이 있을 때가 없을 때에 비해서 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 또한 긴장 조건이 있는 경우 작업의 난이도가 높을 때에 낮을 때에 비해서 호흡수의 값이 높게 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 상정한 긴장감은 양호하게 부가되었고 긴장감은 생리신호를 사용하여 측정할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

Objectives : This study aims to evaluate the current status of clinical use of diagnostic equipment in oriental neuropsychiatry. Methods : Thirty clinical studies using diagnostic equipment out of 223 papers in the journal of oriental neuropsychiatry in the 10 years from 2003 to 2012 were reviewed. Results : Ten diagnostic apparatuses were used in 30 papers. HRV (Heart Rate Variability) was used the most, but the results of papers were not consistent. ADS (ADHD Diagnostic System) and ERP (Event Related Potential) were effective in clinical research. Conclusions : Diagnostic equipment might be useful and effective to treat mental disorders if they are to be used properly and followed by well-designed studies.

There is substantial evidence that anatomical connections and functional interactions exist between vestibular and autonomic systems. Heart rate variability (HRV) including mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation (CV), power spectrum was analyzed for evaluation of the physiological role of the vestibular system on control of heart rate in rabbits. In anesthetized rabbits, electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve decreased heart rate and decreased LF/HF by increasing HF. On the cervical sympathetic nerve increased heart rate and increased LF/HF by increasing LF. Atropine, cholinergic blocker, increased heart rate and increased LF/HF by reducing HF, and propranolol, ${\beta}$-adrenergic blocker, decreased heart rate and decreased LF/HF by reducing LF> In unanesthetized rabbits, stimulation of the vestibular system induced by rotation or caloric increased heart rate and increased LF/HF by increasing LF> Also electrical stimulation of the vestibular nerve produced the same of effects as rotation or caloric in anesthetized rabbits. These results suggest that Stimulation of the vestibular system increased heart rate not by inhibiting the parasympathetic nerve but by activating the sympathetic nerve.

The study was to evaluate psychological and physiological changes of simulator sickness in the controlled condition of driving a car (1 hr. at speed of 60 km/h) in a graphic simulator. Simulator sickness was measured and analyzed every 5 min using both subjective responses(i.e., Simulator Sickness Questionnaire) and Physiological signals(EEG, HRV, Skin Temperature, GSR). The results showed that there was significant differences in subjective response 10 min after the main experiment. From 10 min after the driving, the level of subjective simulator sickness increased significantly, relative one of the rest condition. There also was significant differences in physiological responses between the rest and the 5 min after from the start of driving : for EEG, $\delta$ and $\theta$ at Fz area increased, while $\alpha$ decreased; the averaged R-R interval and skin temperature decreased; LF/HF and GSR increased. The results indicated that simulator sickness was induced by activation of the autonomic nerves and inactivation of the central nerves.
