This study is to measure the differences of the trace-metals resulted from the different ecologies, such as nickel(Ni), copper(Cu), zinc(Zn), cadmium(Cd), plumbum(Pb), arsenic(As) and chrome(Cr) remaining in the parts of Korean Yeongdeok Crab (KYC) and Russian Snow Crab (RSC) based on ICP-MS. The recovery rate of each metal certified the reference materials (CRM) was in the average of 81~99%, which corresponded with the level required in Codex. The level of metals in the parts of KYC was in the order of Ni > As > Zn > Cu > Cr > Cd in the both male and female shell; the order of Zn > As > Cu > Cr > Ni > Cd in the leg flesh; the order of Zn > As > Cu > Cr > Cd > Ni in the body flesh; the order of Cu > Zn > As > Cd > Cr > Ni in the gill; the order of Cu > As > Zn > Cd > Ni > Cr in the male hepatopancreas; the order of Cu > Zn > As > Cd > Cr > Ni in the female hepatopancreas, thereby showing some differences. It was revealed that the levels of most metals (nickel, copper, zinc, arsenic and chrome) were similar between KYC and RSC except cadmium which was somewhat lower than that of KYC. However, the cadmium in RSC was discovered in high level in most of the parts, two times higher in the hepatopancreas, and four times in the gill. It was also revealed that the trace metal contents were changing according to the size of KYC; the metals with the highest level of Ni in shell, Zn in leg and body flesh, Cu in gill tended to decrease as growing, whereas the cadmium contents tended to increase overall and accumulated the most in hepatopancreas. The results showed there was a possibility that the phenomenon of bioaccumulation within hepatopancreas would increase as growing.

Body fluid(津液) is a general term for normal mucus in human body, including saliva, gastric juice, intestinal juice and articular fluid in joints as well as tear, running nose, sweat, etc.. The formation of Body fluid goes through two phases. First phase is digestion of food at stomach, and then evaporation and classification of energy at Triple warmer(三焦). More technically speaking, Body fluid is divided into the Jin(津) & the Aek(液). Aek is a very mild and water-like fluid, runs deep into the internal organs. Jin is a thick and sticky liquid, running shallow under the skin or in the joints of limbs. Major roles of body fluid over the body are to moisturize the internal organs, flesh, skin, etc., to soften the joints, to fill the bone marrow, and to balance Yin and Yang. This article deals with the role of body fluid and how to differentiate them, the liquid metabolism in the human body, and the formation and change of sweat, urine, tear, spit, bone marrow, etc.. The imbalance of Yin and Yang and disturbance of Triple warmer's evaporation lead into lumbago, leg weakness and edema is also explained here.
