남부지방을 중심으로 많은 시설재배지가 염류집적의 문제를 해결하기 위해 윤답전환체계로 운영되고 있으나, 윤답전환체계가 토양의 이화학적 특성 및 인산의 집적에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 거의 없었다. 경남 진주지역 윤답전환체계 운영시설재배지(RS) 22곳의 토양을 깊이별로 채취하여 이화학적 특성 및 인산의 분포특성을 인근 비윤답전환 시설재배지(NRS) 토양과 비교하였다. RS 표층토(Ap)의 전기전도도(EC)는 NRS에 비해 약 평균 약 $1.0dS\;m^{-1}$ 정도가 낮았으나 30cm 이하의 심층부에서는 RS의 EC값이 NRS에 비해 높아졌다. 깊이가 깊어질수록 두 형태간 EC값의 차이는 증가하여 세척된 염분이 상당부분 심층부로 이동되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 기대와 달리 표층토의 유기물 함량은 RS가 NRS에 비해 약 $3g\;kg^{-1}$이 높았으며 이는 두 형태가 년간 유기물 시용량 차이에 기인된 것으로 해석되었다. 깊이가 증가 할수록 유기물 농도는 EC분포와 동일한 경향을 보여 윤답전환 과정중 단소의 유기물이 심층부로 이동되고 있음을 추정할 수 있었다. 전인산(T-P) 함량은 RS의 표층토가 NRS에비해 약 $850mg\;kg^{-1}$ 낮았으며, 이러한 경향은 심토까지 계속되었다. T-P의 약 90% 이상은 Inorganic P의 형태이었으며, Organic P와 Residual P가 저은 비율로 분포하였다. Inorganic P는 T-P에서와 같이 RS가 NRS에 비해 낮은 농도로 분포하였으며 깊이가 증가함에 따라 큰 폭으로 감소하였다. 이에 반해 Organic-P는 30cm 이상의 표층토에서는 RS가 NRS에 비해 낮은 농도로 분포하였으나 30cm 이하의 심층토에서는 RS가 NRS에 비해 높은 농도로 분포하였다. 특히 RS에서 Organic P는 NRS에서와 달리 깊이가 깊어짐에 따라 점점 증가하여 윤답전환지에서 인산이 상당 부분 Organic P의 형태로 이행되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 표층토내 Extractable P는 Al-P와 Ca-P가 가장높은 비율로 존재하였으며, Fe-P와 수용성 P(W-P)의 순의 낮은 비율로 분포하였다. Ca-P와 W-P는 전 토양깊이에서 RS가 NRS에 비해 낮았으나 Al-P는 두 형태간 큰 차이가 없었다. 이에 반해 Fe-P는 RS가 NRS에 비해 높은 농도로 분포하였으며 20~40cm 사이에 가장 높은 농도로 분포하여 논토양 조건에서 영향을 받은 것으로 판단되었다. 결과적으로 윤답전환에 의한 약간의 T-P의 감소는 주로 W-P, Ca-P와 Organic P 형태로 주로 이동되었던 것으로 간접 해석되나 그 양은 기대했던 것에 비해 미미한 수준인 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between HbA1c and pain intensity in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients, and to compare the difference between two groups divided by the risk of complications. Methods : The participants were 46 men and women suffering from neuropathic pain diagnosed with diabetes mellitus who visited the Hospital of Traditional Korean Medicine, Semyung University from June, 2014 to August, 2015. Age, duration of diabetes mellitus, numeric rating scale(NRS), and Michigan neuropathy screening instrument(MNSI) were used as evaluation tools. Results : 1. In all 46 cases, there were no significant correlations between HbA1c and age, duration of diabetes mellitus, NRS, MNSIQ, or MNSIE. 2. Among 23 cases with a high risk of complications (more than 7.0 % of HbA1c, group A), there were no significant correlations between HbA1c and age, duration of diabetes mellitus, NRS, MNSIQ, or MNSIE. 3. Among 23 cases with a low risk of complications(less than 7.0 % of HbA1c, group B), there were no significant correlations between HbA1c and age, duration of diabetes mellitus, NRS, MNSIQ, or MNSIE. 4. Means of duration of diabetes mellitus, NRS, MNSIQ, and MNSIE were higher in group A than group B, but there were no significant correlations in statistics. Conclusions : This study could not find statistically significant correlations between pain intensity and HbA1c in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients, so more studies are required in the future.

In this study, we propose an immunosensor using zinc oxide nanorods (NRs) inside PDMS channel for detecting the influenza A virus subtype H7N9. ZnO with high isoelectric point (IEP, ~9.5) makes it suitable for immobilizing proteins with low IEP. In this proposed H7N9 immunosensor structure ZnO NRs were grown on the PDMS channel inner surface to immobilize H7N9 capture antibody. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method with was used 3,3',5,5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) for detecting H7N9 influenza virus. The immunosensor was evaluated by amperometry at various H7N9 influenza antigen concentrations (1 pg/ml - 1 ng/ml). The redox peak voltage and current were measured by amperometry with ZnO NWs and without ZnO NWs inside PDMS channel. The measurement results of the H7N9 immunosensor showed that oxidation peak current of TMB at 0.25 V logarithmically increased from 2.3 to 3.8 uA as the H7N9 influenza antigen concentration changed from 1 pg/ml to 1 ng/ml. And then we demonstrated that ZnO NRs inside PDMS channel can improve the sensitivity of immunosensor to compare non-ZnO NRs inside PDMS channel.

Objectives: We report the results of three case studies on the clinical efect of ascending kidney water and descending heart fre (AKDH) pharmacopuncture on patients with Hwa-Byung. Methods: Tis study involved three patients, all female, who had been admitted to a hospital of traditional Korean medicine and had been diagnosed as having Hwa-Byung by using the Hwa-Byung Structure Clinical Interview for DSM-IV. AKDH pharmacopuncture is administered by injecting pharmacopuncture at a specifc acupoint to change from a state of water-fre disharmony to one of water-fre harmony. For our three patients, Hwangyeonhaedoktang (黃連解毒湯) pharmacopuncture was injected at GB21 and GB20 on both sides; a total of 0.4 cc was injected, with 0.1 cc being injected at each point. Fel ursi, Bezora bovis and moschus (BUM) pharmacopuncture was injected at CV17, CV12, and CV6; a total of 0.15 cc was injected, with 0.05 cc being injected at each point. Treatment was done daily. Progress was evaluated using the Hwa-Byung diagnostic interview (HBDIS), beck depression inventory (BDI), and numeric rating scale (NRS) scores. Results: For the frst patient (case 1), after treatment, the HBDIS score was reduced from 44 to 30 points, the BDI score from 37 to 14, and the NRS score from 10 to 7. For the second patient (case 2), after treatment, the HBDIS score was reduced from 41 to 27 points, the BDI score from 13 to 7, and the NRS score from 10 to 5. For the third patient (case 3), after treatment, the HBDIS score was reduced from 42 to 28 points, the BDI score from 12 to 9, and the NRS score from 10 to 4. Conclusion: Ascending kidney water and descending heart fre pharmacopuncture treatment can be efective for improving ascending kidney water and descending heart fre energy and can be used to alleviate Hwa-Byung.

Objectives This study was designed to compare the effects Gwibi-tang herbal-medication with Danggwisusan herbal-medication for patients with acute cervical and lumbar sprains due to a traffic accident. Methods This study was carried out on 119 acute cervical & lumbar sprain patients by traffic accident. We divided these patients into 2 groups. Group A was treated with Gwibi-tang and Group B was treated with Danggwisusan three times a day for three days. Each patient was treated with acupuncture, physical therapy and two types of herbal-medication. We measured the numerical rating scale (NRS) at two time points : pre-treatment (Tx). and post-Tx. Results 1. The NRS scores significantly decreased after treatment in all patients. 2. The changed NRS scores of nuchal pain showed a borderline significant difference between Group A and Group B (p=0.067). 3. In sub-group analysis, Gwibi-tang showed a greater effect on NRS scores of lumbago pain in female patients (p=0.068) and patients under 30s (p=0.054) compared to Danggwisusan. Conclusions In this study, both types of herbal-medication; Gwibi-tang and Danggwisusan were highly effective on acute cervical and lumbar sprain patients. Especially Gwibi-tang (Group A) was more effective than Danggwisusan (Group B) in reducing the initial nuchal pain. Also Gwibi-tang was more effective for lumbago pain in female and patients under 30s.

Purpose: To search the salivary factors that objectively indicate an pain in myalgia patients with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and determine the possibility of the factors as pain-biomarkers. Methods: Participants consisted of pain-free 15 persons (male 7, female 8, mean age±standard deviation (SD); 26.8±16.04 years) and 45 myalgia patients with TMD (male 21, female 24, mean age±SD; 27.98±13.01 years). They were divided into a pain-free group (numerical rating scale [NRS] score 0), a mild pain group (NRS 1-4), a moderate pain group (NRS 5-6), and a severe pain group (NRS 7-10) and members of all groups were age, sex matched. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and matrix metalloprotease 9 (MMP-9) were selected as pain biomarkers, by searching the Gene Expression Omnibus database and analyzing pain-related genes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure the concentration of IL-8 and MMP-9 in the patients' saliva. Results: IL-8 and MMP-9 levels were statistically significantly higher in pain groups than in the pain-free group. Greater differences were observed in patients with acute pain (with painful duration under 3 months) than in the control group and in female patients than in male. Conclusions: Salivary IL-8 and MMP-9 may play a role as biomarkers of myalgia in patients with TMD.
