Objectives: The purpose of this study is to organize the research methods and results of studies related to the temperature of the warm needle for systematic utilization of warm needling technique. Methods: This study used the databases of nine (Pubmed, Science Direct, Cochrane Central, 4 Korean databases, CNKI, CiNii) to analyze temperature-related studies of the warm needle from 2000 to June 2019. Results: A total of 19 papers were included. Of these, 15 were used for mugwort, 2 for high frequency, and 1 for both mugwort and high frequency, and the other one for a ceramic heater. The maximum temperature rises as the amount of moxibustion increases. It is also affected by the density of moxa and the ignition part. There were 16 papers using stainless steel needles and 4 papers using a needle made of gold or silver to compare. In the area of the needle, the closer it is to moxibustion, the hotter it is. Compared to stainless steel needles, gold and silver needles showed almost twice the temperature. The effects of environment and radiant heat should be considered during warm needle procedures. Conclusions: There are various experimental methods such as warm needle technique materials, methods, measuring parts, measuring instruments, etc. The results were also very diverse. When setting the heating source, ignition part, size of moxibustion, etc. of warm needles, it should be implemented in a way that takes safety and validity into account. Considerations for temperature characteristics, radiant heat, etc. of warm needles will be needed when making warm needle apparatus.

마찰력은 치아이동시 활주이동부에 유해한 인자로 인식되어져 왔으나 치아이동에 저항하는 고정원에 있어서는 유리한 인자로 받아들여질 수 있다. 즉 마찰력이 작은 결찰법들을 이용하여 효과적인 치아이동을 도모하는 반면 마찰력이 큰 결찰법들을 이용하여 브라켓의 걸림에 의해 치아이동이 거의 일어나지 않게 하면 고정원을 강화할 수 있다. 인공타액하에서 시간경과에 따른 교정선과 브라켓 사이의 마찰력 변화, 탄성 모듈과 스테인레스 강 결찰선을 이용하여 각각 결찰양식을 달리 하였을 때의 마찰력 변화 그리고 결찰재의 재료를 달리 하였을 때의 마찰력 변화를 알아보기 위하여 .018"x.025" 슬롯의 상악 중절치용 standard edgewise twin 브라켓과 .017"x.022" 스테인레스 강 교정선을 탄성 모듈, .009" 스테인레스 강 결찰선 그리고 .012" 스테인레스 강 결찰선을 이용하여 다양하게 결찰하였다. 또한 통상적인 방법으로 결찰한 탄성 모듈 결찰군을 결찰 직후와 1주 간격으로 4주간 마찰력을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. ${\cdot}$탄성 모듈 whole tie시 시간경과에 따른 마찰력은 4주 경과시 가장 높았으나 3주, 2주, 1주, 결찰 직후간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다 (p>0.n). ${\cdot}$탄성 모듈로 결찰시 마찰력은 twisting tie가 가장 높았고 double overlay tie, whole tie, half tie 순으로 나타났으나 twisting tie와 double overlay tie 간에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다 (p>0.05). ${\cdot}$스테인레스 강 결찰선으로 결찰시 half tie 군이 whole tie 군보다 낮은 마찰력을 보였으며 ligature tying plier로 결찰한 경우가 needle holder로 결찰한 경우보다 더 높았고 .012" 결찰선을 이용한 경우가 .009" 결찰선을 이용한 경우보다 더 높았다 (p<0.05). ${\cdot}$통상적인 방법으로 탄성 모듈과 스테인레스 강 결찰선을 이용하여 결찰한 경우 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05).

Objectives : Many researches have studied warm needling technique to standardize its treatment by temperature measurement and material differences in the effectiveness. The purpose of this study is to compare the temperature changes of the acupuncture needle shaft during the combustion process of the moxa stick to determine the heat transfer pattern of the warn needling. Methods : A moxa stick($7{\times}8mm$) was connected to one side of the needle shaft using a stainless steel needle(ø 0.3 mm, ø 0.5 mm, ø 0.8 mm, shaft length 40 mm) with the needle handle removed. During the warm needling, temperature changes of the needle shaft were observed with an infrared camera(Flir E30) and an infrared thermometer(TESTO 845). Results : In the normal condition, heat transmit of needle shaft increased at spots 10 mm and 25 mm below the moxa stick. The amount of heat transmit increased with the diameter of needle shaft. However, when the heat shield was installed to exclude radiant heat from the moxa stick, heat transfer was less at 10 mm below the moxa stick and no temperature change was observed at 25 mm below the moxa stick. Heat transfer by warm needling does not reach the end of needle shaft even in ø 0.8 mm needle. Conclusions : It is suggested that the radiant heat of moxa stick results in the heat transmit of acupuncture needle shaft. Thus, radiant heat transmit must be considered as one of the heat transfer characteristics of the warm needling.

AC spark discharge voltage of SF6/CO2and SF6/N2 containing various mixed rate in volume percent (1, 5 and 10%) of SF6 in non-uniform fields are investigated. The needle to plane electrode gap spacing was 5 and 10 mm, and the gas pressure was varied within the range of 0.1~0.7 MPa. We have observed a N-characteristic typical for the electronegative gases even in gas mixtures of 1% SF6 with CO2 and N2 as buffer gases. Especially, the materials of the needle electrode affect the insulation properties of the gas mixtures drastically. On the contrary to the case of needle electrodes made by mild steel or high carbon steel, the N-characteristics are hardly perceived in the case of stainless steel needle in this experiment.

This experiment was carried out to develop the anesthetic methods for ultrasonography and a new simplified disposable needle guidance device for ovum pick-up(OPU) in cows. Three different anesthetic methods were applied as. 1) epidural analgesia only with 2% lidocaine(20~30 ml), 2) epidural analgesia with 2% under general sedation with xylazine, 3) epidural analgesia with 2% lidocaine under general sedation with detomidine. We evaluated the anesthetic effects with items such as relaxation of anal sphincter, tail movement and rectal wall, retractability of both ovaries, additional anesthesia and possibility of OPU. Through this experiment, the above three anesthetic methods were applicable to OPU, but the epidural anlagesia under general sedation with detomldine was most effective for OPU. We developed a new disposable needle guidance device with stainless steel tube. With this, disposable needles can be easily attatchable to any other intravaginal probes. And also, it was found to he practical, economic and effective for OPU with the recovery rate of 51.2%.

The present study was carried out to produce in vitro fertilized embryos with immature follicular oocytes collected by transvaginal aspiration from Holstein cows. A simple aspiration apparatus consists of two stainless steel tubes, an inner tube (needle holder; 1.2cmdiameter, 55cm long) and an outer tube (1.5cm diameter, 4Scm long), and a hand-operated vacuum pump was used. Under epidural anesthesia, the needle guide was passed into the vagina of the cow to a point next to the cervix. An ovary was placed against the wall of the vagina over the end of the aspiration needle by rectal manipulation. As the needlepassed into the ovary, an assistant was asked to apply vacuum(l00mrnHg) and the ovary was manipulated back and forth in all directions over the needle. When all sites of the ovary was aspirated, the needle was withdrawn and the needle guide was moved to the other side of ovary and the procedure was repeated. When the oocyte aspiration procedure was finished, collected fluid was transported to laboratory. Oocytes surrounded with at least 1 layer of cumulus cells were matured, fertilized and cultured in vitro. The results were as follows; Ninety seven oocytes were collected by transvaginal aspiration from seventeen Holstein cows(5.7 /head). The number of oocytes surrounded with at least 1 layer of cumulus cells were 60(61.9%). Following in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture, the cleavage and development rate to morula+blastocyst were 83.3% and 30.0%, respectively. From this study, transferable in vitro fertilized embryos could be produced with imma- ture follicular oocytes collected by transvaginal aspiration from Holstein cows using a simple aspiration apparatus.

This paper presents dielectric characteristics of $SF_6$ gas stressed by the non-oscillating and oscillating impulse voltages in inhomogeneous fields disturbed by metallic protrusion. The propose of this investigation is to present the predischarge development and dielectric characteristics of $SF_6$ gas under VFTOs. The experiments were carried out using a needle-to-plane and two needles-to-plane gap geometries in the gas pressure ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 MPa. The gap separation was 22 mm and the needle-shaped protrusions were made of stainless steel 10 mm in length and 1.0 mm in diameter. As a result, it was found that the breakdown mechanism and predischarge current are principally dependent on applied voltage waveform and polarity.
