  • 한의학에서 혀는 장부의 건강 상태를 표면적으로 보여주는 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 특히 장부가 혀의 영역에 연결이 되어 각 장부의 특성을 파악하는데 매우 요긴하게 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 비침습적으로 카메라와 조명 장치를 이용한 설진기를 이용하여 객관적으로 혀 영역을 촬영하고 진단을 위한 혀 영역의 객관적인 지표를 자동으로 찾는 방법을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. 이를 위해서 가장 중요한 일은 혀의 컬러 요소를 파악하여 정확한 위치를 찾아내는 것이다. 컬러를 색상, 채도, 명암으로 분해하고 지역 영역의 히스토그램을 분석하여 분할 임계값을 선택, 전체 영역을 분할한다. 결론적으로 이 방법은 설태가 있는 영역을 찾아내고 설태의 종류를 구분하는 방법을 제안하였다.

  • Brazil (Monte Alegro) and Ethiopia (Sidamo) coffee beans were roasted at three different roasting levels(light, medium, and dark), and were analyzed for color, total phenolic compound, caffeine, and chlorogenic acid contents. The total phenolic and caffeine contents remained unchanged during roasting. The chlorogenic acid levels of the Brazil and Ethiopia samples decreased with roasting. The antioxidant activities were measured using DPPH and ABTS. The radical scavenging activities of the light-roasted and dark-roasted coffee beans were similar. The flavor patterns of roasted coffee beans were analyzed using an electronic nose system based on gas chromatography. The data revealed that the flavor patterns of the roasted coffee beans could be separated via discriminant function analysis (DFA) method. The taste of the roasted coffee beans was analyzed using an electronic tongue system. The sourness and sweetness were decreased with roasting.

  • This study investigated the quality characteristics of beyolmijang prepared with corn (steamed and roasted corn) with different pretreatments and simultaneously added starter (Bacillus velezensis JH1). pH decreased, whereas total acidity showed a tendency to increase. The moisture content decreased slightly according to the fermentation period. In color, the L and b values decreased in all samples, whereas the a value showed a tendency to increase significantly. In microorganisms, sample D had more lactic acid bacteria, whereas the mold content was lower. The total polyphenol content was highest at six weeks in sample E, and other samples showed a tendency to decrease over eight weeks. Antioxidant activity increased significantly. In particular, the content in sample E was significantly higher. Reducing sugar showed a tendency to increase as the fermentation period increased. The highest content was found in sample C containing roasted corn at six weeks of fermentation. Amino nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen content increased in all samples. As a result of electronic tongue, sample E prepared with steamed corn, roasted corn, and lactic acid bacteria showed a low salty taste, sour taste, and high umami taste and was considered a good material for the development of byeolmijang.

  • This study investigated the effects of ultra-ground seaweed powders (USP) on the physicochemical properties (proximate composition, mineral contents, pH, color, shear force, sensory evaluation, electronic nose, and electronic tongue) of restructured black goat jerky. Restructured black goat jerky was prepared using three different treatments, i.e., 3% (w/w) each of ultra-ground sea tangle (ST; Undaria pinnatifida), sea mustard (SM; Saccharina japonica), and sea string (SS; Gracilaria verrucosa) powders. Moisture and ash contents were significantly higher in the USP-treated group than in the control (p<0.05). Potassium, calcium, and zinc contents were significantly higher in the SM than in the other USP-treated groups (p<0.05). In contrast, pH values were significantly higher in the ST and SM than in the control and SS (p<0.05). CIE L*, CIE a*, CIE b*, and shear force were significantly lower in the USP-treated groups than in the control (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation revealed no significant difference in taste, texture, seaweed-like odor, and goaty flavor (p<0.05). Principal component analysis (PCA) and peak graph analysis of the electronic nose showed that the SS differed the most from the control compared with the other USP-treated groups, owing to the seaweed odor of ultra-ground SS powder. The PCA and ranking analysis of the electronic tongue showed that the umami taste of the SM was higher than that of the control and other USP-treated groups. Therefore, the potassium, calcium, zinc contents, and umami taste of reconstituted black goat jerky were significantly higher in the SM than in the control and other USP-treated groups.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to report the clinical characteristics of glossodynia patients and effects of traditional Korean treatment on glossodynia and to gather data in order to carry out future study. Methods : We surveyed 40 glossodynia patients visiting the Department of Korean Internal Medicine of Stroke and Neurological Disorders Center, Kyung Hee University Hospital at Gangdong and analyzed their glossodynia questionnaires, examination results, and progression of symptoms. Results : In Glossodynia patients the average age was 62.4 years old. Glossodynia was more prevalent in females than males (5.67:1). Red tongue color, white fur, and fissured tongue were observed most often. The average glossodynia duration was 36.1 months and the average glossodynia degree was VAS 5.6. The most commonly appearing symptom was burning sense, and dryness of tongue. In Korean medicine diagnosis, Yin, deficiency, Tae-eum was most commonly diagnosed. In herbal medicine, Gamichungsim-tang was the most frequently prescribed. In laboratory tests, zinc deficiency was the most common result. In heart rate variability (HRV), average SDNN was 34.03 and average LF/HF ratio was 2.11. Of 40 patients, 23 completed treatment and their pain was relieved from average VAS 5.52 to VAS 3.63. Pre-and post-treatment results showed a significant difference. The average duration of treatment was 34.91 days. Conclusions : The results of this study suggest that Korean medical approach and treatment for glossodynia could be effective. Further study should be conducted for more valuable information.

  • This study was conducted to characterize the morphological and behavior patterns of Sapsaree dogs. The population (n=8,256) has been constructed since 1990 over 12 generations and managed at the Sapsaree Breeding Research Institute, Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk province. Eighteen morphological and seven behavioral traits were investigated for 882 individuals. Linear models were applied for each trait by fitting sex, season of birth, hair color or test age. The averages of body weight, body length, body height, and depth of chest were $20.5{\pm}2.4\;kg$, $57.3{\pm}4.2\;cm$, $52.1{\pm}3.6\;cm$, and $21.1{\pm}2.4\;cm$, respectively. Males had greater estimated values than females for these body conformation traits. The chocolate Sapsarees had greater averages for body weight, body height and chest depth. The older animals (>2 years) had heavier body weight than younger animals. About 54, 69, 97, 39 and 83.3% of the Sapsarees had hairs with yellow color, straight, medium to long, untangled, and longer around eyes, respectively. Also, about 40% brown eye, 43% curly tail, 78% normal jaw, 86% no missing teeth, 90% no dewclaw, and >90% with black nose, pendent ear, tongue without spots were observed. About 95% males were normal in testicles state. The males performed significantly better than the females for majority of the behavioral traits. For nerve stability, affability, wariness, adaptability, sharpness, activity, and reaction during blood drawn about 79%, 73%, 76%, 61%, 70%, 48% and 81% of the Sapsarees performed at desired level. In general, the Sapsarees showed good characteristics for both morphological and behavioral traits, which can be exploited to use the Sapsaree breed as a companion or guide dog.

  • Medial medullary infarction is caused by occlusion of vertebral artery or lower basilar artery. In this report, one case had impaired pain and thermal sense over half the body, and complained of dizziness, nausea and vomiting. The other symptoms were slippery pulse(脈滑), pale tongue with whitish coating(舌淡苔白), white face(面白), obesity(體肥) and unchanged skin color(肌色如故). We diagnosed this patient as the Gastrointestinal Phlegm(食痰) and prescribed Jengjengamiyijin-tang (Zhengchuanjiaweierchen-tang). The symptoms of impaired pain and thermal sense, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting were improved. So, we suggest that Jengjengamiyijin-tang (Zhengchuanjiaweierchen-tang) could be effective to the patient with the symptom of the Gastrointestinal Phlegm(食痰)
