Methods We studied 47 patients who visited Kangnam Kyunghee Korean Hospital Medical Examination Center from November, 2013 to June, 2014. They were devided into two groups, atrophic vaginitis group (AV, n=18) and non-atrophic vaginitis group (NAV, n=29). We compared the result of HRV between the two groups. Results The mean of The standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), the square root of the mean squared difference of successive NNs (RMSSD) in AV group was lower than NAV group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups.

Objectives: This study aims to research correlation of the malondialdehyde level in urinalysis with cold hypersensitivity. Methods: We studied 128 patients visiting ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Korean Hospital from March, 2013 to May, 2013. The subjects were categorized into two groups: cold hypersensitivity group (n=46) and control group (n=79). Patients in cold hypersensitivity group had been stressed because of severe cold hypersensitivity. First, We investigated the difference of the level of malondialdehyde between two groups. In addition, temperature of the two points, ST32 and LR3, was measured by using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging (DITI) to find out whether the extent of cold hypersensitivity is related to the level of malondialdehyde. Results: There is no different characteristics between two groups. The average of malondialdehyde in cold hypersensitivity group ($1613.15{\pm}1260.71$) is significantly higher than in control group ($1170.01{\pm}1015.66$)(p=0.04). But there is no correlation between level of malondialdehyde and the extent of cold hypersensitivity (r=-0.22, p=0.13). Conclusions: Although the level of malondialdehyde in cold hypersensitivity group is higher than in control group, there is no significant correlation between level of malondialdehyde and the extent of cold hypersensitivity.

Objectives: Postmenopausal symptoms are subject to many factors. Recently, obesity has been suggested as a factor of hot flush. So this study aims to report the relationship between body composition and Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), The Menopause-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) of postmenopausal women. Methods: We studied 42 climacteric women who had visited Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong from April 2011 to July 2014. 42 women had filled out MRS, MENQOL, and they had taken body composition tests. Pearson correlation tests were conducted. (Correlation was statistically significant at the 0.05 level) Results: Correlation between psychological subscale of MENQOL and Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) was statistically significant (pearson correlation coefficient=0.385; p-value=0.012). But other subscales of MRS and MENQOL were not statistically related with body composition. Conclusions: WHR could be an important factor of psychological health of menopausal women. So, abdominal fat reduction must be considered when curing menopausal symptoms. In connection with climacteric depression, well-designed studies would be necessary.
