Objective : The purpose of this study is evaluated the effects of Oriental treatments to symptoms and quality of life in the patients with herniated cervical disc being suggested operation. Methods : 20 patients diagnosed with herniated cervical disc by MRI in hospital were treated by oriental medical treatments. Symptoms of the patients were assessed by analogue scale(VAS) and SF-36. Results : After 12 weeks treatments, the VAS of symptoms of herniated cervical disc and the score of SF-36 were significantly improved. Conclusions : It could be suggested that oriental medical treatments were effective for the patients with herniated cervical disc being suggested operation. Further study of the effect of oriental medical treatments on herniated cervical disc is needed.

In this paper, fatigue crack propagation behaviors were investigated experimentally for the materials, carbon steel forgings (SF45A, SF50A, SF60A) which are used in the marine propeller shaft. The results obtained are as follows: The number of cycles required to grow crack length 1.30mm from microcrack initiation was about 60% of the total fatigue life. Fatigue crack propagation rate was expressed by the equation d(2a)/dN_B 2a/$N_f$ and the result was agreed well with the experimented data. And the equation d(2a)/dN=$C{\sigma}_a^m(2a)^n$ was evaluated also. Obtained material property m and n are 3~5 and 1-1.5 respectably, and the result was reasonably agreed to the data obtained from experiments.

현재 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 교류차단기는 72K이상에서는 SF 가스차단기이며 36K 이하에서는 진공차단기다. 그러나 현재에 이르기까지 교류차단기의 역사를 보면 전력 계통용기기 중에서도 그 형태, 성능 모두 놀라운 발전을 거듭해 온 기기다.

Objectives We report a series of 3 chronic tension-type headache cases who were constitutionally typed as the Soeum type, Taeeum type and treated with Dangguibaekhaoguanjung-tang, Chungshimyeonja-tang or Chunghyulganggui-tang. Methods In treating 1 patient who was constitutionally typed as the Soeum type, Case 1 fell into the category of the Taeeum symptomatology, 2 patients who were constitutionally typed as the Taeeum type, Case 2 and Case 3 fell into the category of Dry-Heat symptomatology. Each patient was given Sasang medication according to protocol: Dangguibaekhaoguanjung-tang to Case 1, Chungshimyeonja-tang to Case 2, Chunghyulganggui-tang to Case 3. On admission day and approximately 2 weeks later, patients evaluated their pain and quality of life using SF-36 and HIT-6. The patients symptoms were observed daily and NRS scores were recorded daily. Results and Conclusions 2 Patients(Case1, Case2) showed improvement in their NRS scores, SF-36 scores and HIT-6 scores. 1 patient(Case3) showed improvement in NRS scores, but worse SF-36 scores and no improvement in HIT-6 scores. Treating chronic tension-type headache based on Sasang Constitutional therapy was found to be effective for managing pain. The treatment protocol suggested in this investigation should be explored and verified in future studies.

This study is about a comparison of controlled and uncontrolled hypertension groups regarding comprehensive diagnosis of Qi blood water and quality of life. We surveyed "controlled and uncontrolled hypertension patients" using questionnaires for comprehensive diagnosis of Qi blood water, SF-36 and HTN QoL (Measurement Scale for the quality of life in hypertensive patients). There was no difference in comprehensive diagnosis of Qi blood water between the controlled and uncontrolled hypertension groups. Within the controlled hypertension group, the patients diagnosed with a Qi deficiency, Qi stagnation, Qi counterflow, blood deficiency, and water retention received lower total scores in SF-36 and HTN QoL than in undiagnosed patients. Within the uncontrolled hypertension group, the patients diagnosed with Qi deficiency, blood deficiency, and water retention got lower total scores in SF-36 and HTN QoL than in undiagnosed patients. These results were statistically significant. These results are insufficient that we and use comprehensive diagnosis of Qi blood water for a diagnosis tool of hypertension. But if we have better studies that make up for weak points, these results will help to make a diagnosis tool for hypertension.

본 연구는 지역사회 거주 노인들의 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 위험요인들을 측정하여 평가 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 연구대상은 지역사회 거주노인 총 314명(연령평균:75.8세(5.64))이며 무질병 대상자가 81명, 만성질환자가 233명이며, 2개월 동안 삶의 질에 관한 설문지를 활용하여 상담을 실시하였다. 일상생활활동은 Barthel Index(BI)와 Frenchay Activities Index(FAI)로 평가하였으며 심리상태는 노인우울척도, 건강관련 삶의 질은 한국판 SF-36으로 평가하였다. 조사결과 중복 만성질환 노인은 일상생활동작이 떨어지며, 우울하고, 인지기능의 저하와 건강관련 삶의 질이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 우울증, 중복 만성질환 및 일상생활활동이 노인의 건강관련 삶의 질을 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 중복 만성질환과 낮은 일상생활활동이 우울증과 결합되어 건강관련 삶의 질을 더욱 저하시킬 수 있다는 것을 새롭게 제시하였다.

Objectives : Lumbar disc herniations are common conditions which induce severe pain and disability. We assessed the clinical effectiveness of Korean medical combination treatment. Methods : This is an observational study. We reviewed the medical records of 46 patients with lumbar disc herniations, who attended intensive Korean medical combination treatments at Mokhuri Neck and Back Hospital, Korea during March, 2012 to October, 2012. All the patients took combination treatments of acupuncture, Chuna and herbal medicines during the hospitalization treatments. Zero to ten pain numerating rating scale(NRS) of pain and SF-36 were assessed before and after treatments. Results : During the period, 46 patients with lumbar disc herniation participated in the treatments, respectively. Average admission duration were 20.32 days(SD 9.67) in lumbar disc patients. For lumbar patients, low back pain NRS decreased from $5.84{\pm}2.58$ to $2.12{\pm}1.74$(p<0.001) and radiating pain from $6.25{\pm}2.30$ to $2.59{\pm}1.97$(p<0.001). Total SF-36 score increased significantly after treatment in lumbar disc patients(p<0.001). Conclusions : Korean medical combination treatment might be effective in reducing pain and improving life quality of patients with lumbar disc herniation.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of acupuncture on trunk flexors compared with trunk extensors in patients with chronic low back pain. The experimental group was treated with acupuncture on trunk flexors. The control group was treated with acupuncture on trunk extensors. Acupuncture treatment was performed 12 sessions over the course of 6 weeks. Volunteers who satisfied the requirements were enrolled in the study. Chronic low back pain was evaluated based on the VAS for bothersomeness, VAS for pain intensity at every treatment and 8, 12 and 24 weeks after starting the treatments, and ODI, SF-36 and BDI before and after treatments and 8, 12 and 24 weeks after starting the treatments. The VAS score for bothersomeness significantly decreased after treatment for up to 24 weeks after starting the treatments in both group (p<0.05). The VAS score for bothersomeness in the experimental group decreased more rapidly than that of the control group with statistical significance (p<0.05). The VAS score for pain intensity, ODI, SF-36 and BDI significantly improved after treatment for up to 24 weeks after starting the treatments in both group (p<0.05). The VAS score for pain intensity, ODI, SF-36 and BDI in the experimental group showed more rapid improvement than those of the control group. But, there were no statistical significances. Treating trunk flexors using acupuncture was more effective in decreasing the degree of bothersomeness caused by chronic low back pain than treating trunk extensors with acupuncture. There is a need to perform further studies.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the health status of residents who were exposed to sources of extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) in the living environment and those who were not exposed to such a source of ELF-EMFs through a survey designed to appraise the residents' health levels. Method: Aimed at 251 residents exposed to a source of ELF-EMFs and 278 residents not exposed to a source, the survey was conducted to investigate the health status of the residents on the basis of questionnaire SF-36. Result: The health status scores of residents exposed to ELF-EMFs turned out to be lower than those of their counterparts. In terms of self-reported symptoms related to health and sleep quality, residents exposed to ELF-EMFs were found to have a higher complaint rate of self-reported symptoms such as dizziness, depression, and fatigue. Regarding sleep disorders, residents exposed to ELF-EMFs appeared to have a slightly higher complaint rate of sleep disorders compared to non-exposed residents. Conclusion: If a region is to be exposed to a source of ELF-EMFs, a more proactive policy for reducing such exposure is advised. In addition, it is necessary to better understand problems of residents by emplacing an ELF-EMFs risk information delivery system and building an efficient communication system for voluntary participation during the construction phase.
