Hot and humid weather in summer generally brings about discomfort. Experiments on which relative humidity makes effects on the comfort sensation were performed to the young and the aged using sensation vote. From July to October 1996, seven college students and eleven aged people were exposed for 2 hours under six different conditions in the Pukyong National University test chamber so as to determine the effects of relative humidity on thermal and comfort sensations. Subjects were wearing same clothes, and the mean clo value was 0.5. The mean radiant temperature was equal to the air temperature and air velocity in the occupied zone around 0.lm/s. In the experiments, it was found that discomfort could be largely reduced when the humidity is controlled to low values in the settled high temperature.

A vasovagal reaction is defined as the 'development of hypotension and bradycardia associated with the typical clinical manifestations of pallor, sweating and weakness'. The most profound degree of vasovagal reaction results in fainting or syncope. Incidence of vasovagal reactions in the local anesthetic department of a dental hospital is around 2%. The pathophysiology of the hypotension/bradycardia reflex responsible for vasovagal syncope is not completely understood. Central as well as peripheral mechanisms have been implicated in its pathogenesis: however their relative contribution is not fully elucidated. Recently, trigeminocardiac reflex, previously known as oculocardiac reflex, may serve as syncope. The management of vasovagal syncope is evolving. Non-pharmacological treatment options are a fundamental first step of all treatment pathways. In this article, we would like to review new mechanism of vasovagal syncope and hope to be of help to manage the syncopal patients.

The usages of botulinum toxin were most commonly for the treatment of spasmodic dysphonia in the otolaryngology field. It has been not only widely used in otolaryngology-Head Neck surgery but also plastic surgery, ophthalmology, rehabilitation medicine, and orthopedics. Now botulinum toxin is used such as blepharospasm (excessive blinking), strabismus, cosmetic, muscle spasms, upper motor neuron syndrome, severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis), chronic migraine, bruxism, and achalasia. The indication of this drug still gradually expanding with the times. In this articles, the author will demontrate how to use the botulinum toxin for treating cricopharyngeal spasm, arytenoid dislocation, sialocele, Frey syndrome, contact granuloma, bilateral vocal fold paralysis, and mutaional falsetto instead of conventional surgical treatment.

We experienced one case of schizophrenia. A patient who has hypertetyion & c.v.a as a past history was suffer from conspitation, headache, nausea, sweating, insomnia, & etc. This study is peformed to find out gypsum fibrosum enema theraphy has a clinical effect on constipation with schizophrenia. Gypsum fibrosum enema theraphy has a sufficient effect. Altought, the most important thing is that schizophrenia is almost due to seven feelings. So maybe more and more studies are need in the schizophrenia & seven feelings.

Aralia continentalis Kitagawa (Araliaceae), known as "Dokwhal" in Korea, has been widely used in traditional Korean medicine for analgesia, neuralgia, sweating, and rheumatism. The biological activity was estimated with methanol extracts of from cultivated roots and adventitious roots of A. continentalis. DPPH and ABTS activities showed the highest activity in methanol extract of adventitious roots at 175.6 and $279.7{\mu}g/mL$ ($RC_{50}$), respectively. Antioxidant activity of methanol extract of the adventitious roots was higher than other samples. In the antibacterial activity assay (paper disc method), the methanol extract of adventitious roots showed activity against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, B. subtilis, and S. enterica. This study demonstrated that adventitious roots of A. continentalis, which was produced for the first time in the roots of A. continentalis, can be used as a natural antioxidant and antibacterial agents.

The subject was a 46-year-old woman who was suffering from severe vertigo. Her major symptoms were vertigo, headache, neck pain, feverishness, and her minor symptoms were intermittent nausea and tinnitus, mild chest discomfort, facial flushing and sweating. Her symptoms were diagnosed as Chi-Vertigo and the patient was treated with Boheo-eum(Buxu-yin). Next, the patient's vertigo was evaluated with Vestibular disorders activities of Daily Living scale and Dix-Hallpike maneuver per 3days. An improved state in vestibular disorders activities of daily living scale, a frequency and duration of Dix-Hallpike maneuver were observed. In this case Boheo-eum(Buxu-yin) has an effect on a patient with vertigo due to Chi-Vertigo.

In order to help develop more comfortable seat cover fabrics, this study primarily surveyed the actual using conditions and the consumers' opinions of the seat cover fabrics. The results of this study were as follows: 1) The colors of seat cover fabric were mostly achromatic. Regarding comsumers' satisfaction on the colors of seat cover fabric, comsumers in their 20's were less satisfied than other age groups. Most unsatisfied consumers prefered bright colors. 2) On the materials of seat cover fabric, synthethic leather and woven were most widely used. Real leather was most prefered due to its luxury and tactile sensation. Woven was secondarily prefered due to its price and tactile sensation. About fourty percent of consumers covered the seat with other cover fabrics because of soil and other reasons. It will be useful if they could choose and change the seat cover fabircs with different materials and colors. 3) When consumers used the seat cover fabrics, the problems that they indicated were not durability and colorfastness but low breathablity during sweating, static electricity, soil, firmness, and cool sensation at the first contact.

This research is an analysis of medical essay article 62 by Jang Jong-jung that is quotated in "Donguibogam". The opinion through out the essay is that the way of healing on the whole is eliminating the origin of illness above all. Three methods of sweating, vomiting, and purging that Jang applied are profoundly connected to this opinion. Non-medicinal treatment of emotion disorders that is quoted in "Donguibogam" is also closely related. The consideration of Unqi(circulating qi) as the best way of searching etiological factor, pathology, and treatment, in "Donguibogam" is close to the view of medical essay by Jang Jong-jung.

Allergic Purpura is similar to Yangdokbalban Syndrom in Oriental Medicine. The main symptoms of Yangdokbalban Syndrom and allergic purpura are rashes and fevers in body. In Sasang Constitutional Medicine, Taeumin have an Yangdokbalban Syndrom by Ganyeol as their inherent symptomatic phamacology. An inpatient diagnosed as allergic purpura in other hospital who has fevers in body, rashes and itchings at fevers was seen to Taeumin by his external figures and internal emotions. And, he has an symptomatic distinctiveness that general conditions refreshed after sweating and can drink water in chilling. Therefore A person was diagnosed as Taeumin with allergic purpura as above distinguishing symptoms, the curative value will be outperformed by taking Galgeunhaekitang.

As important factors determining human sensorial comfort, liquid moisture management and surface properties of heat resistant workwear materials were examined. To figure out liquid moisture management properties of the test materials, absorption capacity, rate of absorption, and evaporation properties were assessed. A modified GATS(Gravimetric Absorbency Testing System) was used to measure the liquid moisture accumulation associated with the wicking of liquid moisture from sweating skin. The GATS procedure measures demand wettability of materials to take up liquid in a direction perpendicular to the fabric surface and it was modified to incorporate a special test cell and cover to assess absorption behavior in the presence of evaporation. Fabric stiffness, smoothness, number and the length of surface fibers, and an estimate of the contact area between the skin and fabric surface were measured to characterize the mechanical and surface properties of the test materials. Also an estimate of the force with which a fabric clings to moist skin was made using as wet-cling index.
