Reiki is a form of energy therapy in which the therapist, with or without light touch, is believed to access universal energy sources that can strengthen the body's ability to heal itself, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain and stress. There is currently no licensing for Reiki nor, given its apparent low risk, is there likely to be. Reiki appears to be generally safe, and serious adverse effects have not been reported. So in this article provides coverage of how to use Reiki in oncology services.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are produced during normal cellular function. ROS are very transient species due to their high chemical reactivity that leads to lipid peroxidation and oxidation of some enzyme, massive protein oxidation and degradation. Under normal conditions, antioxidant are substances that either directly or indirectly protect cells against adverse effects of ROS. Several biologically important compounds have been reported to have antioxidant functions. These incluce vitamin C, vitamin E, GSH, flavonoids. superoxidee dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GPX) and catalase(CAT). (omitted)

Background : Sulfasalazine for treating ulcerative colitis has a clinical limitation due to its adverse effects. This case is about a patient with ulcerative colitis who could not tolerate sulfasalazine and was improved by Do-che decoction-based Korean medicine. Method and Results : Purulent and bloody diarrhea more than 20 times a day, mild fever, chilling and tenesmus were main symptoms of this patient who was diagnosed as ulcerative colitis 10 years ago. Do-che decoction-based Korean medicine which was recommended for purulent and bloody diarrhea in Dong-Ui-Bo-Gam, the classic literature of Traditional Korean Medicine was given to the patient for more than 1 month. After treatment, the frequency of purulent and bloody diarrhea, tenesmus and fever was decreased remarkably, and C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cell count and maximum temperature also dropped to the normal range. Conclusion : Do-che decoction-based Korean medicine has a potential effect and may be a alternative therapeutic option in patients with ulcerative colitis who cannot tolerate sulfasalazine due to its adverse effects.

In this paper, we propose a Fourier transform-based modified phasor estimation method to eliminate the adverse influence of exponentially decaying DC offsets. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is generally used to calculate the phasor of the fundamental frequency component in digital protective relays. However, the output of the DFT contains an error due to exponentially decaying DC offsets. Therefore, the decaying DC components should be taken into consideration when calculating the phasor of the fundamental frequency component of a relaying signal. In this paper, the error due to DC offsets in a DFT is calculated and eliminated using the outputs of quaternity DFT, so that the phasor of the fundamental component can be accurately estimated. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by using computer-simulated signals and EMTP-generated signals. A performance evaluation showed that the proposed algorithm was not affected by system and fault conditions. Thus, the proposed algorithm can effectively suppress the adverse influence of DC offsets in a relaying signal.

This study was conducted to measure toxicity of 1-chloropropane (CAS No. : 540-54-5). According to the OECD Test Guideline 413 (Subchronic inhalation toxicity: 90-day study), SD rats were exposed to 0, 310, 1,250, and 5,000 ppm of 1-chloropropane for 6 h/day, 5 day/week for 13 weeks via whole-body inhalation. Mortality, clinical signs, body weights, food consumption, motor activity, ophthalmoscopy, hematology, serum chemistry, urinalysis, organ weights, gross and histopathological findings were compared between control and all tested groups. No mortality or remarkable clinical signs were examined during the study. No gross lesions or adverse effects on body weight, food consumption, motor activity, ophthalmoscopy, urinalysis, hematology, organ weights were observed in any of male or female rats in all tested groups. In serum biochemistry, glucose was significantly decreased in males of 1,250 and 5,000 ppm groups compared to control group in dose-dependent relationship. In histopathological examination, vacuolation of acinar cells was observed in pancreas of all male and female groups exposed to 1-chloropropane. In conclusion, no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be below 310 ppm/6 h/day, 5 day/week for rats.

누룩치, 고본, 당귀 및 산초의 ethanol ext.는 자발운동량에 미치는 영향에 대한 시험에서 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았다. 다만 phenobarbital sodium 수면시간에 대해서는 산초투여군에서만 다소 단축시켰다. 0.7% acetic acid의 복강내 투여에 의해 유발된 writhing syndrome을 다소 억제하였으나 유의성은 없었다. 체온에 미치는 영향에 대한 시험에서는 유의성 있는 체온 변화가 없었다. 다만 흰쥐의 위액분비에 미치는 영향에 대한 시험에서는 누룩치와 고본투여군에서 위액분비량과 총산도가 유의적으로 감소하였다. 소장운동능에 미치는 영향에 대한 시험결과 누룩치, 당귀 및 고본투여군에서 유의성 있는 charoal의 이동억제가 관찰되었다. 결론적으로 누룩치, 고본, 당귀 및 산초의 ethanol ext.는 일반약리작용에 대하여 특이한 작용이 없었다.

Rhizobium phaseoli strains were isolated from the mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) nodules, and the most salt tolerant and high auxin producing rhizobial isolate N20 was evaluated in the presence and absence of L-tryptophan (L-TRP) for improving the growth and yield of mung bean under saline conditions in a pot experiment. Mung bean seeds were inoculated with peat-based inoculum and NP fertilizers were applied at 30-60 kg/ha, respectively. Results revealed that imposition of salinity reduced the growth and yield of mung bean. On the contrary, the separate application of L-TRP and Rhizobium appeared to mitigate the adverse effects of salt stress. However, their combined application produced more pronounced effects and increased the plant height (28.2%), number of nodules per plant (71.4%), plant biomass (61.2%), grain yield (65.3%), and grain nitrogen concentration (22.4%) compared with untreated control. The growth promotion effect might be due to higher auxin production in the rhizosphere and improved mineral uptake that reduced the adverse effects of salinity. The results imply that supplementing Rhizobium inoculation with L-TRP could be a useful approach for improving the growth and yield of mung bean under salt stress conditions.

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in industry is increasing, bringing with it a number of adverse health effects on workers. Like other chemical carcinogens, NPs can cause cancer via oxidative DNA damage. Of all the molecules vulnerable to oxidative modification by NPs, DNA has received the greatest attention, and biomarkers of exposure and effect are nearing validation. This review concentrates on studies published between 2000 and 2012 that attempted to detect oxidative DNA damage in humans, laboratory animals, and cell lines. It is important to review these studies to improve the current understanding of the oxidative DNA damage caused by NP exposure in the workplace. In addition to examining studies on oxidative damage, this review briefly describes NPs, giving some examples of their adverse effects, and reviews occupational exposure assessments and approaches to minimizing exposure (e.g., personal protective equipment and engineering controls such as fume hoods). Current recommendations to minimize exposure are largely based on common sense, analogy to ultrafine material toxicity, and general health and safety recommendations.

We previously pointed out that the polluted sediment elutriate manifestly affected the early events of reproductive outputs in the Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas. A serial dilution of priority xenobiotic sediment elutriates determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) were exposed to gametes of the oyster with different stress burdens to detail the maternal stress transfer to its reproductive outputs. There was an apparent critical concentration over which survival and morphogenesis were significantly affected with more profound damage in morphogenesis. The critical concentration which drives mortality and abnormal morphogenesis of the larvae corresponded to a dilution between 10 and 20% of our elutriate. The adverse effects of the early lives by the xenobiotic exposure over the critical concentration were magnified by the maternal stress from the exposed benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), one of the priority polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) during the maturation condition. These results indicate that maternal transfer of the xenobiotic compounds from oysters living in the contaminated location might represent a significant adverse effect to their larval population of wild seeds.
