본 연구의 목적은 촉각과 온각 자극에 따른 악력, 상지 기민성, 그리고 손 기능 변화의 차이 를 비교 분석하여 움직임에 가장 영향력 있는 자극의 종류를 규명하는 것이었다. 건강한 성인 남성 40명을 대상으로 하였고 신체적 특성을 파악한 뒤 악력과 상지 기민성 및 손 기능을 측정하였다. 이 후 부드러운 솔을 이용하여 촉각 입력을 발현한 뒤 재측정 하였으며 다음날 핫팩을 이용하여 온각 자극 발현 뒤 재측정하였다. 연구 결과 악력과 상지 기민성 검사의 모든 변인에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났고(p<.001), Lifting small objects를 제외한 모든 손 기능 변인에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.01). 결론적으로 자극의 입력은 악력, 기민성, 그리고 손 기능을 증가시킨다. 또한 자극의 종류에 따른 영향에서 온각 자극 입력은 촉각 자극 입력보다 악력, 기민성, 그리고 손 기능을 더욱 증가시킨다. 따라서 재활치료 및 산업 현장에서 상지와 손의 기능 촉진을 위해서는 적절한 자극의 적용이 도움이 될 것이며 앞으로 자극의 빈도와 강도에 대한 연구가 더욱 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 홍삼박을 산란계 사료에 첨가하여 고온 환경에서의 적응과 면역 개선 효과를 조사하는 것이 목적이며, 이를 위해 면역 증강 효과를 가진 ${\beta}$-glucan 첨가 사료를 양성대조군으로 설정하여 고온 스트레스 후의 생산성 변화, 혈액생화학 조성, LPS에 대한 면역 반응 및 혈액 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. 52주령 ISA Brown 갈색계를 무첨가구(Negative Control; NC), 시판 면역제제 첨가구(Positive Control; PC, ${\beta}$-glucan 25 ppm), 홍삼 부산물 3% 첨가구(RGM; Red Gingeng Marc)로 구분한 후, 처리당 15수(3수${\times}$5반복)로 배치하여 총 11주간 사양 실험을 2하였다. 8주차에 불쾌지수(THI; temperature humidity index)를 76($27^{\circ}C$, 60%)에서 86($34^{\circ}C$, 60%)으로 상승시키고, 24시간 동안 유지한 후 3주간 회복 시간을 가졌으며, 사양 기간이 종료된 후 LPS(Excherichia coli; SIGMA) 접종을 하였다. 8주간의 일반 사양 실험에서 홍삼박은 산란율을 증대시켰으나(P<0.05), 고온 스트레스 자극 후 혈액 생화학 및 생산성 변화에서 홍삼박의 첨가에 의한 효과는 나타내지 않았다. LPS 접종 시 전체적으로 IgM 농도가 감소되지만 홍삼박 첨가구의 경우 면역제제 첨가구와 동일하게 LPS 주입 후 IgM 농도를 대조구보다 높게 유지하는 것으로 관찰되었다(P<0.05). 또한 혈액 내 SOD 유사 활성을 분석한 결과, 홍삼박 첨가구와 면역제제 첨가구 모두 무첨가구보다 높은 항산화 활성을 유지하는 것으로 관찰되었다(P<0.05). 종합해 보면, 홍삼박은 산란계에서 강한 고온 스트레스 자극에 대한 효과는 관찰되지 않았지만 일반환경에서 산란율을 증대시켜 생산성을 개선하는 효과가 있었다. 또한 ${\beta}$-glucan을 함유한 면역제제와 유사 패턴으로 LPS 접종에 대해 IgM 농도를 높게 유지하고, 혈액 내 항산화 활성을 높이는 효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 홍삼박은 산란계 체내 면역 조절 및 항산화 효과를 가져 산란계 건강과 생산성 증진에 긍정적으로 작용할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 고온 스트레스자극 실험 결과는 앞으로 고온 스트레스 관련 연구에서 고온 환경 설정(불쾌지수, 자극시간)에 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Objectives : This study examined effects of kyeong points (經穴)' acupuncture of three hand yang collaterals (手三陽經) on the facial thermography in health subjects, because the kyeong point in Yang collaterals belongs to the characteristic of the five elements (五行)meaning fire (火). Methods : The volunteers who participating in this study rested for 20-30 min. atroom temperature (23-$25^{\circ}C$) before the examination and were informed to avoid smoking, drinking and use of any drugsfor the previous day. The thermography of the face was taken using Infra-Red Imaging System (IR 2000, MEDI-CORE Co., Korea) at time intervals of 15 minutes : at 15 min before, just before and after, 15 min after, 30 min after and 45 min after acupuncture stimulation. Acupuncture was applied to the left kyeong points (經穴)' of three hand yang collaterals (手三陽經) for 30 minutes. Results : The results showed that kyeong points (經穴)' acupuncture of three hand yang collaterals (手三陽經) decreased the temperature of all the areas of the facial surface comparing to those of the control group. Also, it was observed that the quantities of thermal changes following acupuncture of ST36 increased in the all ROIs (regions of interest) compared to those of the control group. Conclusions : Observing the thermography classified by ROI, it was clear that acupuncture of kyeong points (經穴) of three hand yang collaterals (手三陽經) could modulate thermogram of the facial area however, it is necessary to undertake more investigation supporting these results.

We investigated the comparative effect with different frequency and duration time of electroacupuncture(EA) for suppression of pain. Inflammation was induced by an intraplantar injection of 1 % carrageenan into the right hind paw. Bilateral EA stimulation with 2 Hz, 15 Hz and 120 Hz were delivered at those acupoints corresponding to Zusanli and Sanyinjiao in man via the needles in carrageenan-injected rats. The paw and tail thermal hyperalgesia were measured in 30-minute intervals after carrageenan injection using hot plate and tail flick analgesia meter, respectively. The significant difference was found between the control and any of EA frequencies examined. Especially 2 Hz EA presented more effective inhibitory effects compared with other frequency of EA in tail flick latency. The hyperalgesia induced by carrageenan was strongly inhibited by 2 Hz EA from 5 min post and reached sufficient effects from 20 min post EA treatment. These results suggest that EA treatment might be a useful therapy for mitigation of inflammatory pain.

In order to get the basic data for the study of the heat stimulation of burning moxa, the pattern of combustion temperature, which is one of the important factors of thermal characteristics, was measured by density of cone moxa along the time procedure. The following results have been obtained 1) The pattern of combustion temperature by moxa burning was classified into input period which means the infiltration of heat into the area and output period which means the radiation of heat from the area. The input period consists of preheating and heating periods, while the output period consists of heat retaining and cooling periods. 2) The pattern of combustion temperature showed the same type or curve, which was not influenced by the moxa weight. However, Its pattern gradient are varied by density. It is considered that the pattern of combution temperature is primarily influenced by the rate of combustion temperature, gradient temperature and duration of combustion.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the body temperature peripheral circulation with vibration shoes in healthy 10 adults. The magnetic vibration device with non-electric power was mounted in the midsole of the vibration shoes. The experiment was divided into two groups: vibration shoes and no vibration shoes. Subjects were randomly selected and measured body surface temperature by digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) and non-invasive capillaries change by nailfold microscope (NFM). After walking in a treadmill for 15 minutes at 4.0 km/h speed wearing normal shoes or vibration shoes, DITI and NFM were measured. The walking with vibration shoes showed the body surface temperature shift from the proximal to the distal. In addition, the diameter of the nailfold capillary in the vibration shoes group was thicker and clearer due to the increased blood flow than that of the no vibration shoes group. The vibration shoes are easy to apply to anyone who can walk because it can give vibration stimulation by walking without additional time, cost, and effort in daily life. Further studies are needed to explain the physiological effects of vibration frequency and intensity on the long-term perspective of target subjects resulting from vascular dysfunction.

In today's world, most children are exposed to various manmade electromagnetic fields (EMFs). EMFs are electromagnetic waves less than 300 GHz. A developing child's brain is vulnerable to electromagnetic radiation; thus, their caregivers' concerns about the health effects of EMFs are increasing. EMF exposure is divided into 2 categories: extremely low frequencies (ELFs; 3-3,000 Hz), involving high-voltage transmission lines and in-house wiring; and radiofrequencies (RFs; 30 kHz to 300 GHz), involving mobile phones, smart devices, base stations, WiFi, and 5G technologies. The biological effects of EMFs on humans include stimulation, thermal, and nonthermal, the latter of which is the least known. Among the various health issues related to EMFs, the most important issue is human carcinogenicity. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer's (IARC's) evaluation of carcinogenic risks to humans, ELFs and RFs were evaluated as possible human carcinogens (Group 2B). However, the World Health Organization's (WHO's) view of EMFs remains undetermined. This article reviews the current knowledge of EMF exposure on humans, specifically children. EMF exposure sources, biological effects, current WHO and IARC opinions on carcinogenicity, and effects of EMF exposures on children will be discussed. As well-controlled EMF experiments in children are nearly impossible, scientific knowledge should be interpreted objectively. Precautionary approaches are recommended for children until the potential health effects of EMF are confirmed.

Background: So far there is no confidence in the basics of acupoint/meridian phenomena, specifically in spatial and temporal electrical manifestations in the skin. Methods: Using the skin electrodynamic introscopy, the skin areas of 32 × 64 mm² were monitored for spectral electrical impedance landscape with spatial resolution of 1 mm, at 2 kHz and 1 MHz frequencies. The detailed baseline and 2D test-induced 2 kHz-impedance phase dynamics and the 4-parameter time plots of dozens of individual points in the St32-34 regions were examined in a healthy participant and a patient with mild gastritis. Non-thermal stimuli were used: (1) (for the sick subject), microwaves and ultraviolet radiation applied alternately from opposite directions of the meridian; and (2) (for the healthy one) microwaves to St17, and cathodic/anodic stimulation of the outermost St45, alternately. Results: In both cases, the following phenomena have been observed: emergence of in-phase and/or antiphase coherent structures, exceeding the acupoint conditional size of 1 cm; collective movement along the meridian; reversible with a reversed stimulus; counter-directional dynamics of both whole structures and adjacent points; local abnormalities in sensitivity and dynamics of the 1 MHz and 2 kHz parameters indicating existence of different waveguide paths. Conclusion: It is assumed that these findings necessitate reconsideration of some basic methodological issues regarding neurogenic/acupuncture points as spatial and temporal phenomena; this requires development of an appropriate approach for identifying the acuzones patterns. These findings may be used for developing new approaches to personalized/controlled therapy/treatment.

This study proposes to develop a 3D printed re-entrant(RE) strip by shape memory thermoplastic polyurethane that can be deformed and recovered by thermal stimulation. The most suitable 3D printing infill density condition and temperature condition during shape recovery for mechanical behavior were confirmed. As the poisson's ratio indicated, the higher the recovery temperature, the closer the poisson's ratio to zero and the better the auxetic properties. After recovery testing for five minutes, it appeared that the shape recovery ratio was the highest at 70℃. The temperature range when the shape recovery ratio appeared to be more than 90% was a recovery temperature of more than 50℃ and 60℃ when deformed under a constant load of 100 gf and 300 gf, respectively. This indicated that further deformation occurred after maximum recovery when recovered at a temperature of 80℃, which is above the glass transition temperature range. As for REstrip by infill density, a shape recovery properties of 100% was superior than 50%. Additionally, as the re-entrant structure exhibited a shape recovery ratio of more than 90%, and exhibited auxetic properties. It was confirmed that the infill density condition of 100% and the temperature condition of 70℃ are suitable for REstrips for applying the actuator.

나자식물 5종의 잎 수용 추출액과 무궁화 4품종간의 allelopathy 현상을 조사하였다. 이들 수용 추출액의 총 phenolic compound 함량은 리기다소나무가 2.21 mg/L, 그리고 생육지의 수관 내 토양 총 phenolic compound 함량은 잣나무가 1.38 mg/L로 가장 높았다. 그리고 HPLC를 이용하여 phenolic compound의 성분을 분석한 결과 14종을 확인하였고, 그 중 리기다소나무의 phenolic compound함량은 320.56 g/mg으로 가장 높았으며 특히 5-sulfosalicylic acid가 312.55 g/mg로 분석되었다. 수용 추출액의 총 phenolic compound 함량과 pH와는 상관관계가 없었으나 총 phenolic compound는 공여체 식물의 수관내 토양 pH에 변화를 보이고 있다. 무궁화의 종자발아 실험에서 수용 추출액의 임계농도는 25%였으며 이 경우 잣나무의 수용 추출액은 4품종의 상대종자발아율이 대조구와 유사하거나 약간의 발아 촉진현상이 나타났고, 도입종인 캄판화 종자는 모든 수용추출액의 처리구에서 대조구보다 촉진되었다. 또한 유식물 생장에서 서호향은 대조구보다 처리구의 지상 및 지하부의 생장이 모두 촉진되었으며 그 외 품종들의 지상부 생장은 대조구와 유사하고 지하부는 촉진되었다. 또한 실외의 초기생장에서 서호향은 대조구보다 처리구에서 촉진되었고 그 외 품종은 대조구와 유사하거나 감소하고 건중량은 서호향이 모든 처리구에서 대조구보다 촉진되었고 그 외의 품종은 대부분 대조구보다 억제되었다. 엽록소의 함량은 대조구와 비교하여 고요로와 서호향의 품종에서 약간의 촉진현상이 있었으나 그외에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 5종의 나자식물 수용 추출액은 무궁화의 4품종 중에서 서호향은 생장의 촉진을, 그리고 다른 품종들은 억제 시키는 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.로그램이 다양하지 못하였다. 그러므로 효율적인 사별관리를 위해 사별관리 프로그램이 개발되어야 하며 관리운영자의 전문적인 교육과 봉사자 교육 및 훈련이 있어야 하고 사별자의 개별성과 요구에 적합한 접근방법이 모색되어야 한다. 앞으로 한국실정에 맞는 토착화된 사별관리를 위한 다각적인 연구가 시도되어야 하며 이를 실무에 적용시켜야 한다.ssumption, additional study is needed to examine the relationship between the levels of microbes and excessive concentrations of EA, and borate at a high pH level.부정적인 반응을 보였다.
