  • We determined threshold environmental factros to initiate infection of pepper plants by Botrytis cinerea, a fungal pathogen of pepper gray mold, in two greenhouse conditions. A new efficient spore-trapping method was developed to estimate population density of airborne conidia in the greenhouses, and spore release was measured using a Kerssies' selective medium. At a given day, spores were released greater during daytime (mostly from 7:30 am to 10:30 am and at 4:30 pm) than nighttime. Diurnal and nocturnal temperatures in the greenhouse-1 were about $25^{\circ}$ and $17^{\circ}$,and relative humidity was 100% for prolonged 24 h due to rain on December 17, 1997. Population density of air-borne conidia was 3.0$\times$103 conidia/ $0.5\textrm{m}^3$ after two days, and the initial infection occurred in ten days. During the same period of time in the greenhouse-2, diurnal temperature was about $25^{\circ}$ and nocturnal temperature was below $15^{\circ}$, and population density of air-borne conidia was 104 conidia/ $0.5\textrm{m}^3$. Under these conditions, the initial infection started in three days. This indicates that the early infection occurs under which diurnal temperature is approximately $25^{\circ}$, nocturnal temperature is maintained below $15^{\circ}$, and population density of air-borne conidia is 104 conidia/ $0.5\textrm{m}^3$ at saturated relative humidity condition.

  • Cough is a very common and largely recurrent childhood respiratory disease. In Korean medicine, Zhudanxi(矢丹溪), was the first to classify cough according to the different stages of time. In this research, I examined the stage of Nocturnal Cough(晨嗽) which refers to cough that occurs at dawn. Indigestion is classified as the cause with SaBaek-san proscribed as the treatment for such cough. In this research, twenty five children who had coughing at dawn with abdominal symptoms were treated with Sabaek-san-kamibang and then examined for cough, abdominal symptoms and other related symptoms. As a result, there was a statistically notable decrease in cough, abdominal symptoms and other symptoms such as nasal discharge, sputum, constipation, vomiting and cough. In addition, of the twenty five patients found with acute cough and those with moderate cough with abdominal symptoms showed good clinical results upon completion of treatment.

  • The driving mechanisms for low level jets(LLJ) and coastal surface maximum winds are studied with observed wind data from June, 1976 through August, 1980 at Port Aransas and Victoria, Texas, in connection with a baroclinic model. This model is developed considering the forcing functions such as the synoptic and meso-scale pressure gradient, the frictional force, and the atmospheric stability. The results show that a LLJis observed on over 95% of the occasions when a nighttime coastal wind maximum occurred. Baroclinicity generated by sloping terrain during the summertime causes the diurnal variation in the thermal field. This thermal wind component would then decrease the prevailing synoptic-scale southerly wind by day and allow it to increase at night. Nighttime atmospheric stability leads to frictional decoupling which enhances the nocturnal LLJ. At the coastal site neutral stability prevails, thus all owing downward transfer of momentum from the nocturnal LLJ and results in the nocturnal coastal surface wind maximum. The height of LLJis not uniquely related to the inversion layer, and the results of the computations using this model show a good agreement with the observations.

  • Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate enuretic children attending oriental hospital and classify subtypes and evaluate possible factors that enhance or hamper of continence. Methods: Children attending kyeongju dongguk oriental hospital pediatrics between January 2000 and December 2003 with chief complaint of nocturnal enuresis were enrolled. The data of present symptoms and improvement progress was collected via telephone interviews with their parents. Results: The total number of children was 61. 32 of them were male and 29 female. Sex ratio was 1.1:1. Patient under 6 years of age was 68.8%. Using acupuncture, acupressure or chimsband with herb medicine, treatment frequency was increased. Patients with nocturnal enuresis(NE) was 48, and primary nocturnal enuresis(PNE) 39, secondary (SNE) 9. 13 was impossible to diagnose. The ratio of male to female was 1:1.09. PNE was 4 times as many as SNE. Male was predominent in PNE, and female in SNE. In the progress of PNE, male and female were similiar. but SNE, male was all cured, female remained 50%. And elapsed time of male to improve was longer than that of female. In the progress of improvement, many parents mentioned that their child was improved spontaneously regardless of subtype. Conclusion: We consider age, sex distinction, subtype, bladder symptoms, frequency, time of progress as influencing factor of prognosis, but failed to verify significance. To develop guideline of NE and find influencing factor of prognosis, more prospective study through taking history carefully and using questionnaire is needed.

  • Purpose: Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is one of the most common problems in childhood. NE has a multifactorial etiology and is influenced by sleep and arousal mechanisms. The aim of the present study was to prospectively evaluate sleep problems and patterns in children with NE compared with normal healthy controls. Methods: Twenty-eight children with NE and 16 healthy controls were included in the study. To evaluate sleep habits and disturbances, parents and children filled out a questionnaire that included items about sleep patterns and sleep-related behaviors prior to treatment for NE. Demographic factors and other data were compared for the two groups based on the responses to the sleep questionnaire. Results: Night awakening, sleepwalking, and periodic limb movements were more prevalent in children with NE, but symptoms of sleep-disordered breathing were not increased in this group. There were statistically significant differences in periodic limb movements and daytime sleepiness between the two groups. Conclusion: Children with NE seemed to have more sleep problems such as night awakening, sleepwalking, and periodic limb movements. In addition, a higher level of daytime sleepiness and hyperactivity in patients with NE suggested a relationship between NE and sleep disorders.

  • This study was designed to evaluate the emotional and behavioral problems of nocturnal enuresis children(n=72) in general population. And this was compared with normal control children(n=72). The behavioral problems were assessed using a modified child behavior checklist(CBCL) parent form. The results indicated that enuretic children were rated significantly more anxious, fearful, depressed, inattentive, hyperactive, delinquent on the modified CBCL rating when compared to the age-, grade- and sex-matched normal control children. Finally, it was an impressive evidence that there exist many emotional and behavioral problems in children with nocturnal enuresis.
