The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation of regional skin temperature with thermography during exercise. Seven men completed 82-min trials which consisted of rest, exercise of $VO_2$ max 60% and recovery period at $30{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ and $60{\pm}5%RH$. Changes in skin temperature due to physical activity varied, depending region of the body. The skin temperature of the chest was significantly lowered and that of the back was significantly increased after exercise period(p < 0.05). There were significant negative relationship between the skin temperature of the chest and thermal comfort sensation, and positive relationship between skin temperature of the back and thermal comfort sensation(p < 0.05). It would be better to keep the chest warm, and the back cool during exercise. The skin temperature changed differently on body site due to exercise, and it was influenced by blood flow, sweating and air movement. This study would be meaningful in that the change of regional skin temperature during exercise was investigated consecutively with thermography. In further study, it would be more realistic to measure physiological response with functional sportswear which applies different functional fabric based on skin temperature.

Treatment chart(醫案) is a document that doctors have described about their own practice. Western doctor's chart has a prescribed form, but otherwise chart of oriental medicine is a free form. As It has no prescribed form, doctors of oriental medicine have recorded important facts that they think especially. For example, details are patient's name, age, sex and address, the name of disease, state of pulse and tongue, state of secretions(stools, urine, perspiration, etc.), color of face, state of sleep and thirst, diagnosis, prescription, improvement of herb, teaching, and so forth. If we study on chart of oriental medicine, we draw a lesson about practices of a famous doctors. Through that we can increase ability of diagnosis and adaptation to circumstance, make ourselves familiar with use of past prescriptions and way of changing prescription, and learn narrative story of past doctors' personal experience, their though and teaching. As chart of oriental medicine had many methods to take a measure to meet the false situation, we can learn that. Through chart of oriental medicine, we can improve our practice of oriental medicine.

PET/CT combines the functional information from a positron emission tomography (PET) exam with the anatomical information from a computed tomography (CT) exam into one single exam. A CT scan uses a combination of x-rays and computers to give the radiologist a non-invasive way to see inside your body. One advantage of CT is its ability to rapidly acquire two-dimensional pictures of your anatomy. Using a computer these 2-D images can be presented in 3-D for in-depth clinical evaluation. A PET scan detects changes in the cellular function - how your cells are utilizing nutrients like sugar and oxygen. Since these functional changes take place before physical changes occur, PET can provide information that enables your physician to make an early diagnosis. The PET exam pinpoints metabolic activity in cells and the CT exam provides an anatomical reference. When these two scans are fused together, your physician can view metabolic changes in the proper anatomical context of your body. PET/CT offers significant advantages including more accurate localization of functional abnormalities, and the distinction of pathological from normal physiological uptake, and improvements in monitoring treatment. A PET/CT scan allows physicians to measure the body's abnormal molecular cell activity to detect cancer (such as breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, lymphoma, melanoma and other skin cancers), brain disorders (such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and epilepsy), and heart disease (such as coronary artery disease).

Previous reports revealed that DMfree (green tea extract) inhibited expression of the IL-6 gene in Mycobacterium lepraeinfected MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells). This study aimed to measure IL-6, $IL-1{\beta}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$ and PGE2 production in M. leprae-infected MSCs using ELISA. To confirm the effect of DMfree on IL-6 and signal transduction, a western blotting test was performed. DMfree inhibited the expression of IL-6 in the MSCs and the heterodimer of STAT3, which also affects the expression of multiple genes. Though DMfree pre-treatment of control MSCs produced a baseline level of IL-6, it significantly inhibited the production of IL-6 in M. leprae-infected MSCs. There was no significant difference in IL-6 production between 1 and 7 day treatment groups. M. leprae-infected MSCs produced more $IL-1{\beta}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$ and PGE2, but DMfree could not inhibit their production at a physiological concentration. This is different from other reports that used higher concentration of EGCG treatment, resulting in significant inhibition of the cytokines. The inhibition appears to be related to the concentration of EGCG. These results indicate that DMfree can alleviate inflammation involving IL-6.

Optical measurements of turbid biological tissue have provided a means to study tissue metabolism, tissue blood perfusion and blood oxygenation non-invasively. We used the red light of 660nm and infrared of 880nm to measure the blood fractional volume and oxygen saturation of biological tissue. In vivo reflectance data were obtained the physiological change from the deep tissue in human subject. The data evaluation was assessed by examining the slopes of the plotter index for the changes in oxygen saturation and blood fraction volume. The index is the natural logarithm of the ratio of reflected light intensity from measured medium to reference intensity at each wavelength. According to the experimental results, oxygen index changes significantly in the muscle of calf during exercise.

Citron seed extracts (CSEs) were made using distilled water (CSEW), ethanol (CSEE), and n-hexane (CSEH), to measure the total polyphenol contents, DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities, and anti-complementary activity. The total polyphenol content was observed the highest in CSEE (188.71 ${\mu}g/mL$), and occurred in the following order: CSEE>CSEW (141.11 ${\mu}g/mL$)>CSEH (26.19 ${\mu}g/mL$) at 10 mg/mL. CSEE (63.56%) and CSEW (56.61%) showed significantly higher DPPH radical scavenging activities when compared with CSEH (28.57%). ABTS radical scavenging activities of CSEE (45.53%) and CSEW (40.02%) were also observed to be higher, whereas CSEH did not show ABTS radical scavenging activity. Anti-complementary activity of CSEE (26.85%) showed a greater activity than that of CSEW (7.84%) at 1,000 ${\mu}g/mL$. Limonin and nomilin contents had the highest values (1.882% and 2.089%) in CSEE, and with 0.327% and 0.139% in CSEW; however, CSEH showed relatively very low values at 0.061% and 0.026%, respectively. Among the CSEs tested, CSEE as a by-product from citron may provide an important source of dietary antioxidant compounds with rich polyphenol and limonoid contents, and immunopotentiating activity, including the complement activation factor.

In order to investigate the therapeutic effect of SSC, NC/Nga animal model resembling the AD-like symptoms were used to measure the changes in cytokines and histology. SSC prescription group showed significant decrease in the atopic dermatitis clinical index by 40.2% compared to that of the control. The SSC prescription had significant effect on immune cells that are related to inducing AD symptoms. SSC prescription also increased the ratio of immune cells in DLN that were not directly involved in AD symptoms. SSC prescription group showed significant decrease in the level of cytokines within spleen cells and DLN. The prescription also decreased the level of immunoglobulin IgE levels in serum by 25.3%. The thickness of epidermis and dermis as well as the precipitation of erythrocytes were also observed. The results indicate the therapeutic effect of SSC in the treatment of atopic dermatitis through immune modulation. The study will provide a broader applications in the treatment of atopic dermatitis. Particularly, skin regeneration effect and supplemental use of topical application of SS in atopic dermatitis treatment had been reported previously, and further investigation on the dose dependent effect as well as skin irritation studies of SS should be followed.

In this paper, we measure the tympanic temperature and axillary temperature after far-infrared radiation. The subjects consist of 20 peoples($20s{\sim}60s$) regardless of age or sex. First of all, the subjects lied in mat without the hyperthermia induced by FIR(Far-infrared radiation) for 5 minutes(relaxation) and then lied in mat with the hyperthermia induced by FIR($40{\sim}65^{\circ}C$) for 30 minutes. At this all process, the tympanic temperature and axillary temperature were measured at every 5 minutes. Before FIR was radiating on the human body, the tympanic temperature were $1.05^{\circ}C$ higher than axillary temperature. But after FIR, axillary temperature were $0.217^{\circ}C$ higher than tympanic temperature and the difference of two parameters was decreased.
