Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Samchilgeun powder (panax notoginseng) on the treatment of hematuria in a patient requiring double antiplatelet therapy due to recurrent cerebral infarction. Methods: The patient was treated with Samchilgeun powder (panax notoginseng) combined with Western medicine (an antiplatelet). Urinalysis was performed to observe hematuria and proteinuria levels, and blood tests were used to evaluate anemia levels. Results: After treatment, hematuria levels decreased without exacerbation of anemia and proteinuria and even recurrence of cerebral infarction. Conclusions: This study suggests that Samchilgeun powder (panax notoginseng) can effectively treat patients with hematuria requiring double antiplatelet therapy due to recurrent cerebral infarction, but further studies should be conducted.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of Guibiondam-tang-gamibang on patients in the thyrotoxic phase of painless thyroiditis. Methods: A patient in the thyrotoxic phase of painless thyroiditis was treated with Guibiondam-tang-gamibang combined with Western medicine (i.e., beta blockers). The effect of treatment was evaluated according to the pulse rate, NRS, the frequency of subjective symptoms, and sleep time. In addition, the thyroid function was evaluated with TSH, Free T4, and T3 using blood tests. Results: After treatment, the pulse rate decreased, and the NRS and frequency of subjective symptoms disappeared after improvement. Sleep time increased. In the thyroid function test, a significant normalization of each value was observed. Conclusion: This study suggests that Guibiondam-tang-gamibang can be effectively treated in patients with painless thyroiditis in the thyrotoxic phase. However, further studies should be conducted.

최근 IT 기술의 발달로 태블릿, 스마트폰과 같은 다양한 디바이스로 손쉽게 음악을 감상할 수 있다. 하지만 최근 이런 기술 발달과는 다르게 사용자가 원하는 음악을 검색하는 방법은 고전적인 형태에서 벗어나지 않고 있다. 기존 음악 검색 방법은 텍스트 기반, 내용 기반, 소비자 감성 기반의 음악 추천 검색 방법이 있으며 저장된 메타 데이터를 이용하여 사용자의 질의에 대한 결과만 제공할 뿐 사용자의 경험 정보를 고려하지 않는다. 그리고 기존 플랫폼들은 사용자가 최근 많이 들은 가수, 장르, 분위기를 종합하여 사용자에게 어울리는 음악을 추천을 할 뿐 사용자의 경험정보를 고려하여 음악을 추천하지는 않는다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 경험 정보를 활용하여 사용자 맞춤형 음악 추천 시스템을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 사용자의 현재 기분 정보, 주변 날씨 정보 등을 입력 받는다. 이후, 경험 정보를 기반으로 결정 트리를 통해 사용자 요구 기반의 음악 추천 시스템을 구축하였다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the food habits and nutrient intake of preschool children by investigating their food and snack consumption. To accomplish this, a food habit questionnaire and dietary intake survey was administered to 148 children between 2 and 6 years of age (average 4.8 years). According to the Kaup index, the underweight, normal, overweight and obesity levels of the subjects were 4.7, 60.1, 26.4, and 8.8%, respectively. In addition, the total energy intake met the EAR ($1433.94{\pm}369.70kcal$), whereas the protein, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B and vitamin C levels exceeded the EAR and the RI. Furthermore, the nutrient intake profile revealed that the mean caloric value of breakfasts consumed by preschool children in Daegu (403 kcal) was significantly (p<0.001) higher than that of preschool children in the Gyeongbuk area (271 kcal). Additionally, preschool children in Daegu ($382.96{\pm}255.79kcal$) usually consumed significantly (p<0.01) less food than those in the Gyeongbuk area ($413.82{\pm}275.43kcal$). The preferred snacks among subjects (in descending order) were milk, bread, fruit, potato or sweet potato and cookies. The mean score of the Food Habit was $3.72{\pm}0.35$ out of 5, although the score of preschool children in Daegu ($3.77{\pm}0.32$) was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of children in the Gyeongbuk area ($3.65{\pm}0.32$). Taken together, these results indicate that there were significant differences in the Food Habit and nutrient intake level of children in Daegu and the Gyeongbuk area. Therefore, parents and caregivers should be aware of the importance of the nutritional status of preschool children and choose healthy snacks for them.

Objectives : Ukgan-san plus Citri Pericarpium and Pinelliae Rhizoma (UCP) is used as a traditional herbal formula in Korea and Japan for treatment of fever, fever-induced convulsions, and liver dysfunction and so on. In this study, we investigated the cytoprotective effect and underlying mechanism of UCP against oxidative stress induced by cotreatment of arachidonic acid (AA) and iron. Methods : To evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of UCP against AA + iron-induced oxidative stress in HepG2 cell, cell viability and changes on apoptosis-related proteins were assessed by MTT and immunoblot analyses. The changes in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH), and mitochondrial membrane permeability (MMP) were investigated against to the oxidative stress. Furthermore, to verify underlying molecular mechanism, NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its downstream target genes were examined by immunoblot analysis. Results : Treatment of UCP increased the cell viability and altered the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins such as PARP, caspase-9, caspase-3, Bcl-2. UCP also inhibited the GSH depletion, excessive ROS production and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by AA + iron. In addition, the Nrf2 and the Nrf2 target genes activation were increased by UCP. Conclusions : These results indicated that UCP has the ability to protect against oxidative stress-induced hepatocyte damage, which may be mediated with Nrf2 pathway.
