Objective: This clinical study reports on the effect of traditional Korean medicine on a patient with generalized anxiety disorder.Method: A patient who suffered from generalized anxiety disorder was treated with herbal medicine (Guibiondamtang-gami), acupuncture, moxibustion, and pharmacopuncture. We assessed the changes of anxiety-related symptoms with the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) score, the Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) score, a heart rate variability (HRV) test, and a second derivative of photoplethymogram waveform (SDPTG) test.Results: After taking Guibiondamtang-gami for 22 days, the patient’s STAI score, BAI score, and LF/HF (low-frequency/high-frequency heart rate variability) ratio decreased, while the differential pulse wave index and stress power in the SDPTG test increased.Conclusion: This clinical case study has demonstrated that traditional Korean medicine may be an effective option for treating generalized anxiety disorder.

In this study, photoplethysmography(PPG) was suggested as a way to replace the ankle-brachial index(ABI) in diagnosing PAD. The method using the PPG was presented for the simplification of the PAD diagnosis method which was used before. And the index related to the health condition of the artery from the PPG measured in both big toes of the subjects through the experiment was drawn. The indexes showing the significant relativeness in the Pearson correlation analysis with the ABI were the stiffness index(SI), reflection index(RI); it was confirmed each of them had the correlation coefficient of 0.688, and 0.637 at p < 0.05. The explanation ability of the linear regression equation derived using ABI, SI and RI was 52.5%. The explanation ability of the secondary curve regression equation derived using ABI, squared SI was 54.7%. It is expected to provide patients with significant results and draw the index associated with PAD by measuring PPG easily in the real life instead of the ambulatory care field.

Objective : To review the method, parameters, system of electrogastrography and to study its oriental medical application. Method : We investigate the research results through internet search engines such as Pubmed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Conclusion : Electrogastrography is believed to be of great use to the verification of treatment effect of herbal medicine that is used in internal medicine and neuropsychiatry, along with the objectification and quantification of diagnosis of oriental medicine related to gastric peristalsis and balance of autonomic nervous system. I would therefore like to conclude that there should be continued study and active application of electrogastrography in the wide variety of oriental medicine.

There are many people who suffer from simulation sickness when immersing in virtual reality. In this study, we analyzed two photoplethysmogram(PPG) parameters - a second derivative parameter and power spectral density ratios - in order to relate PPG parameters with simulation sickness. 36 young, healthy subjects were participated in the experiment, and each subject was equipped with a PPG electrode during his or her immersion. Simulation sickness section was defined as a 7 - second section which starts from the point where a subject reported simulation sickness, and normal section as a same-length section where no physical stimuli was presented to him or her. We compared the PPG parameters of the simulation sickness sections with the normal sections, - d/a ratio is believed to have lower value during vasodilation and higher value during vasoconstriction, however, we could not find much difference in the parameter between normal and simulation sickness sections. We also compared 1 to 10Hz power spectral density ratios in normal sections with in simulation sickness section, and found that 6 density ratios among them have different value. Therefore, the density ratios might be utilized as parameters to detect simulation sickness of subjects.
