반도체 식각 공정에서 이온의 플럭스와 충돌 에너지를 각각 조절하고자 Dual frequency RF source가 사용된다. 듀얼 freuqnecy RF가 인가된 Capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) 의 경우, 기판에 걸린 Low freuqency (LF) RF 소스에 의하여 이온의 에너지를 조절하고, High frequency (HF) 소스를 조절하여 이온의 플럭스를 조절하는 것이 일반적이다. 그러나 LF의 세기가 증가함에 따라서, 플라즈마의 밀도가 오히려 감소하는 문제점이 있었다. 이 경우, 약한 자장을 플라즈마에 걸어줌으로써 밀도가 감소되는 문제를 해결할 수 있다고 알려져 왔다. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) 에서는 HF를 안테나에 가하여 이온의 플럭스를 조절하고, LF를 기판에 가하여 이온의 충돌 에너지를 조절하는 것이 일반적인데, 위와 동일한 문제가 이 경우에도 발생하는 것을 확인 하였다. CCP와 마찬가지로, 바이어스에 걸린 파워의 세기가 증가함에 따라서 플라즈마의 밀도가 감소하고 전자의 온도가 증가하는 현상을 확인하였다. 또한 이때에도, 약한 자장을 걸어줌으로써 플라즈마의 밀도가 감소하지 않고 유지될 수 있으며, 전자의 온도 또한 유지될 수 있음을 발견하였다.

Objectives : The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of Sa-am acupuncture (Damjeonggyeok) on autonomic nervous system in night nurses by heart rate variability. Methods : Five night nurses were divided into two groups. We checked their HRV once after sleeping for night and 5 times after working for night, 4 times after operation. We operate Sa-am acupuncture (Damjeonggyeok) and sham acupuncture twice by turns for group A and in reverse order for group B. We checked responses of HRV change after operations. Statistical analysis was performed by using the SPSS Win. Ver. 13.0 for analysis about correlation between data, and Baysian analysis using WinBUGS(Ver. 1.4) for comparison between Sa-am acupuncture (Damjeonggyeok) and sham acupuncture. Results : The median overall decrease for difference in responses of low-frequency power in normalized units (LF (NU)) was -16.56 (-28.88, -6.446), the median overall increase for difference in responses to high-frequency power in normalized units (HF (NU)) was 16.25 (8.104, 28.6) and for the median overall decrease for difference in responses to the ratio of low- to high-frequency power (LF/HF) was -1.846 (-3.922, -0.069), 95% credibility intervals being shown in brackets. VAS of stress was correlated with LF (NU) and HF (NU), LF/HF (p<0.0l). Conclusion : Sa-am acupuncture (Damjeonggyeok) might have sympatholytic and parasympathomimetic effects.

Objectives : To study autonomic nervous system dysfunction of Low Back Pain(LBP) patients, using spectral analysis of Heart Rate Variability(HRV). Methods : HRV of 190 patients was measured and seperated into two groups, those with LBP(n=95) and healthy controls(n=95). HRV was measured by SA-6000(Medicore, Korea) for 5 minutes after 5 minutes' resting. Results : 1. Mean heart rate(MHRT) of the experimental group was slightly higher than that of the control group, but did not show significant difference(P=0.428). The square root of the mean squared differences of successive normal-to-normal intervals(RMSSD), logarithmic very low frequency power(Ln VLF) and low frequency power/high frequency power ratio(LH/HF ratio) were not significantly low between experimental group and control group(P=0.16, 0.130, 0.537). 2. The standard deviation of all the normal-to-normal intervals(SDNN), logarithmic total power(Ln TP), logarithmic low frequency power(Ln LF) and logarithmic high frequency power(Ln HF) were significantly low between experimental group and control group(P=0.03, 0.005, 0.001, 0.007). 3. Ln LF of acute group was significantly low compared with those of chronic group(P= 0.039). Conclusions : This study suggests the activity and imbalance of autonomic nervous system in LBP is low. Also sympathetic nervous system of acute LBP is lower than that of chronic LBP. Further study of HRV related to LBP is needed in the clinical medicine.

Objectives This study was designed to identify the changes of autonomic nervous system (ANS) which was induced by acupuncture at the field of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. Methods 30 healthy adults were selected and classified into two groups; experimental group, control group. After providing mental stress, acupuncture was applied at external ear in experimental group and no treatment executed in control group. The evaluation of ANS function was measured by heart rate variability (HRV). We statically analyzed the difference of HRV parameters which include mean heart rate (MHRT), standard deviation of all N-N intervals (SDNN), square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of differences between adjacent N-N intervals (RMSSD), total power (TP), low frequency power (LF), high frequency power (HF), LF/HF ratio. Results All subjects showed significant increase in SDNN, LF after stress stimulation (p<0.05). Immediately after intervention, MHRT was significantly decreased (p<0.001) and RMSSD, HF were significantly increased in experimental group (p<0.05). After the end of intervention, SDNN, HF, RMSSD, TP, LF were significantly increased in experimental group (p<0.01, p<0.05). And when comparing baseline HRV, SDNN, LF were significantly increased in control group (p<0.01) and SDNN, RMSSD, TP, LF were significantly increased in experimental group (p<0.05). In the subgroup analysis, normal balance of ANS group showed significant increase in TP, LF, SDNN, HF (p<0.01, p<0.05). Conclusions We suggested that acupuncture at external ear, region of the vagus nerve distribution could increase parasympathetic activity and cause changes and reregulation of the ANS.

목 적: 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증은 일반인구의 $2{\sim}5%$ 정도에서 발견될 정도로 흔한 질환이며, 특히 심혈관계 질환이 병발되는 경우가 많아 치료의 중요성이 점차 증가되고 있는 질환이다. 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증과 심혈관계 질환간의 관계는 명확하지 않으나 자율신경계가 매개 작용을 할 것으로 추정되고 있다. 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증에서의 교감신경계 활성도가 증가되어 있다는 연구들이 이를 뒷받침 해준다. 또한, 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증의 치료 방법인 지속적 상기도 양압술이 자율신경계를 변화시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나, 현재까지 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증 환자에서 지속적 상기도 양압술 치료 전후에 자율신경계의 변화를 측정한 연구는 많지 않으며, 결과도 일정하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 스펙트럼 분석 방법을 사용하여 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증의 환자의 심전도를 분석함으로써 지속적 상기도 양압술 전후의 자율신경계 변화를 고찰하였다. 방 법: 임상적으로 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증이 의심되어 수면 다원검사실에 의뢰된 환자들 중 병력청취, 이학적 / 신경학적검사와 야간 수면다원검사 시행결과 수면무호흡증으로 진단 된 17명을 연구대상으로 하였다. 기본 측정일과 지속적 상기도 양압술 시행일 모두 디지털 수면다원검사기로 기록을 저장하였으며, 양압술 시행일에는 무호흡 해소를 위한 처방압력을 결정하기 위한 목적으로 수면다원기록 시행 전 시간에 걸쳐 양압술을 시행하였다. 수면다원기록 판독은 국제판독기준에 따랐다. 그후 기본 측정일과 양압술 시행일 각각의 2단계 수면, 렘수면에서 잡음이 없는 300개의 연속된 심박동 기록을 선택하였다. 이를 대상으로 한 스펙트럼 분석에서 VLF(very low frequency) power, LF(low frequency) power, HF(high frequency) power, LHR(LF/HF ratio) 값을 산출하였다. 그리고, 심박동 변량(R-R variance)과 심박동 평균값도 산출하였다. 기본 측정일과 양압술 시행일 모두에서 수면다원기록과 동시에 혈중산소포화도($SaO_2$)도 측정하여 비교하였다. 제 변인의 값은 Wilcoxon signed ranks test로 통계 처리하였다. 결 과: 모든 대상군에서 양압술 시행으로 무호흡이 해소되었다. 양압술 시행일의 2단계 수면에서 기본 측정일의 2단계 수면에 비해 VLF power(p<0.05), LF power(p<0.01) 그리고 R-R variance(p<0.05)가 감소하였다. 렘수면의 LF power도 감소하였다(p<0.05). 최저 혈중산소포화도(p<0.01)와 평균 혈중산소포화도(p<0.01)의 증가도 관찰되었다. HF power, LHR, 심박동 변량 그리고 심박동 평균값의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론: 본 연구에서는 처방압력 결정을 위한 양압술 시도 중에도 교감신경계 활성도가 즉각적으로 감소하는 것을 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증에서 관찰할 수 있었다. 부교감신경계의 활성도 변화는 유의하게 나타나지 않았으며, 이는 수면무호흡증에서 나타나는 혈동력학적인 변화가 교감신경계의 활성도의 증가와 관련이 있을 가능성을 시사해준다. 지속적 상기도 양압술을 처음 사용하는 날부터 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증 환자에서 즉각적이고 효율적으로 교감신경계 활성도가 감소하는 결과를 고려할 때, 임상적으로는 지속적 상기도 양얍술을 장기간 적용시 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증의 치료 뿐 만 아니라, 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증에서 병발하는 심혈관계 질환을 예방하고 치료에 도움을 줄 가능성도 시사된다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the respiratory cycle and posture can modulate the autonomic nervous system. Methods : Thirty-two healthy men and women, aged 20-30 years, were enrolled in this study. We conducted 2-second and 6-second respiratory cycle with the subjects in standing, sitting, and supine positions, respectively. Their heart rate variability was measured in each position for both cycle lengths. Results : The low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) ratio is derived from heart rate variability. In the 2-second respiratory cycles, the LF/HF ratios were highest in standing, sitting, and supine position in descending order. There was a significant difference in heart rate between standing and sitting positions (P<.005). In addition, there was a significant difference in heart rate between standing and supine position (P<.000). In the 6-second respiratory cycles, the LF/HF ratios were again highest in a standing, sitting, and supine position in descending order. However, posture was not found to make a significant difference in this case. Conclusion : Respiratory cycle and posture effectively modulated the autonomic nervous system. Further studies of the clinical application of these results should be conducted.

Objectives : This study was performed to evaluate the effect of dry cupping treatment applied to back-shu points on the autonomic nervous system. Methods : Two groups of sympathicotonia and normal with each 30 volunteers were set up for this experiment. The sympathicotonia group was selected by the criterion for sympathicotonia by the questionnaire composed of 11 items. After 10 minutes for environmental adaptation, the first HRV(heart rate variability) test was conducted, and then, dry cupping therapy was applied to back-shu points for 5 minutes to stimulate sympathetic ganglia lying along the spine. The second HRV test was carried out just after the cupping therapy under the same condition and then, the third test was repeated after two hours based on the first test time. Results : 1. In sympathicotonia group, SDNN(standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals), RMSSD(the square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of differences between adjacent normal R-R intervals), Ln(HF)(high frequency power), nmHF(normalized high frequency power) increased and mHR(mean heart rate), nmLF(normalized low frequency power) decreased significantly right after dry cupping therapy which means dry cupping affects on autonomic nervous system. The effect lasts in these items of nmLF, Ln(HF), nmHF, rLHF(rate ratio of LF/HF). 2. In normal group, SDNN, RMSSD increased and mHR decreased significantly right after dry cupping therapy, too. But, Ln(LF)(low frequency power), nmLF, rLHF unexpectedly increased and nmLF, rLHF stay increased up to 2 hours. Conclusions : The results suggest that the dry cupping therapy has effect on the autonomic nervous system. It is effective to stabilize hyper-sympathetic tone of people diagnosed as Sympathicotonia and activate parasympathetic tone.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the autonomic imbalance in syncope by comparing the baseline heart rate variability (HRV) between healthy children and those with vasovagal syncope. Methods: To characterize the autonomic profile in children experiencing vasovagal syncope, we evaluated the HRV of 23 patients aged 7-18 years and 20 healthy children. These children were divided into preadolescent (<12 years) and adolescent groups. The following time-domain indices were calculated: root mean square of the successive differences (RMSSD); standard deviation of all average R-R intervals (SDNN); and frequency domain indices including high frequency (HF), low frequency (LF), normalized high frequency, normalized low frequency, and low frequency to high frequency ratio (LF/HF). Results: HRV values were significantly different between healthy children and those with syncope. Student t test indicated significantly higher SNDD values (60.46 ms vs. 37.42 ms, P =0.003) and RMSSD (57.90 ms vs. 26.92 ms, P=0.000) in the patient group than in the control group. In the patient group, RMSSD (80.41 ms vs. 45.89 ms, P =0.015) and normalized HF (61.18 ms vs. 43.19 ms, P =0.022) were significantly higher in adolescents, whereas normalized LF (38.81 ms vs. 56.76 ms, P =0.022) and LF/HF ratio (0.76 vs. 1.89, P =0.041) were significantly lower in adolescents. In contrast, the control group did not have significant differences in HRV values between adolescents and preadolescents. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that children with syncope had a decreased sympathetic tone and increased vagal tone compared to healthy children. Additionally, more severe autonomic imbalances possibly occur in adolescents than in preadolescents.

Objective : The study aims to investigate the effect of moxibustion treatments on autonomic nervous system function of cancer patients through the evaluation of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback testing. Materials and Methods : Six cancer patients from inpatient care unit of Dunsan Oriental Hospital, Daejeon University were given three moxibustion treatment sessions every other day over one week period on five Oriental Medicine meridian points CV4, CV6, CV12, KD1, and PC8. HRV biofeedback was conducted before and after each treatment sessions. Three areas of analyses were done from the test conducted; Time Domain Analysis, Frequency Domain Analysis and Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) balance analysis. Results : Time Domain Analysis has shown increased Standard Deviation of all Normal R-R Intervals (SDNN), and decreased Mean Heart Rate and Physical Stress Index (PSI) levels, with statistical significance (P<0.05). In Frequency Domain Analysis, series of moxa treatments have increased Total Power (TP), Very Low Frequency Oscillation Power (VLF), High Frequency Oscillation Power (HF), normalized HF values while decreasing Low Frequency Oscillation Power (LF), normalized LF and LF/HF ratio with statistical significance (P<0.05). The values of ANS activity, ANS balance, Stress resistance, Stress index, have also shown significant changes. For cardiac stability stroke volume power (SP) and Blood Vessel Tension (BVT) were followed, which were both increased after treatment. All changes were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion : The results have shown a positive correlation between the moxibustion treatments and autonomic nervous system responses on cancer patients through the HRV biofeedback testing. This study suggests possible application of moxibustion treatments for managing ANS functions of cancer patients, although additional studies with larger population are necessary to confirm the data.
