Syndrome of asthenia of spleen gi usually caused by improper diet, overstrain, emotional upsets, followed by syndrome of sinking of splenic gi. There are several pathologic categories of splenic gi deficiency syndrome. These include failure to nourish the body, failure to astringe liquid substances, failure of splenic gi to rise, gi stagnation in which gi can't disperse normally, failure of transportation. In the splenic gi deficient situation, body fluid is usually stagnated because the rest of the water absorbed from the food is transported to every part of the body by the action of splenic gi. In addition, there is abnormal sinking of clear gi, followed by fever due to gi deficiency. Bojungikgi-tang is composed of restoratives which are invigorating splenic gi and herbs which uplift splenic gi. It is mainly applicable to splenic gi deficiency syndrome accompanied by gi stagnation and fluid accumulation.

The discovery of biomarkers related to pattern identification (PI), the core diagnostic theory of Korean medicine (KM), is one of the methods that can provide objective and reliable evidence by applying PI to clinical practice. In this study, 40 diabetic patients and 41 healthy control subjects recruited from the Korean medicine clinic were examined to determine the human electrical response related to the deficiency pattern, a representative pattern of diabetes. Qi-Blood-Yin-Yang deficiency pattern scores, which are representative deficiency patterns for diabetes mellitus, were obtained through a questionnaire with verified reliability and validity, and the human electrical response was measured non-invasively using a bioimpedance meter. In ANCOVA analysis using gender as a covariate, the 5 kHz frequency resistance and 5-250 kHz frequency reactance were significantly lower in the diabetic group than in non-diabetic control group. In addition, the multiple regression analysis showed a positive correlation (R2=0.11~0.19) between the Yang deficiency pattern score and resistance value for the diabetic group; the correlation was higher at higher frequencies of 50kHz (R2=0.18) and 250kHz (R2=0.19) compared to 5kHz(R2=0.11). In contrast, there was no such significant association in the control group. It implies that bioimpedance resistance measured at finite frequencies may be useful in predicting Yang deficiency, which is closely related to diabetic complications by reflecting the decrease in body water content and metabolism. In the future, large-scale planned clinical studies will be needed to identify biomarkers associated with different types of PI in diabetes.

The effect of zinc deficiency on certain immunological parameters was investigated using intragastric tube feeding to obviate decreased food intake and altered eating pattern. Male, Fischer 344 rats were bilaterally adrenalectomized(ADX) or sham operated(SHAM). ADX rats received 0.9% NaCl in their drinking water and corticosterone injections at the dose of 1mg/kg of body weight three times per day. After recovery, one half of ADX and SHAM animals were tube-fed a purified, liquid diet containing either two ppm of zinc(zinc-deficient, force-fed ; ZDF) or 50ppm(zinc-replete, force-fed ; ZRF) for 19 days. They received identical amounts of diet based on the intake of ad libitum-fed, zinc-replete rats. Although they received identical amounts of food, ZDF rats grew at a slower rate compared to ZRF rats in both SHAM and ADX rats. Regardless of surgery, force-feeding rats the zinc-deficient diet resulted in a substantial decrease in serum zinc levels. The weights of the thymus, lymph node, and spleen were lower in SHAM-ZRF rats compared to SHAM-ARF rats. Marginal zinc deficiency caused lymphopenia in SHAM animals. However, these differences in lymphoid tissues and cells between SHAM-ZDF and SHAM-ZRF rats disappeared in ADX rats. These results indicate that the impaired growth of lymphoid tissues observed in zinc-deficient, sham-operated animals can be attributed to elevated serum corticosterone levels under the conditions of our experiments.

Recent studies about irrigation water use have focused on agricultural reservoir operation in irrigation period. At the same time, it is significant to store water resource in reservoir during non-irrigation period in order to secure sufficient water in early growing season. In this study, Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5, 8.5 scenarios with the Global Climate Model (GCM) of The Second Generation Earth System Model (CanESM2) were downscaled with bias correlation method. Cumulative precipitation during non-irrigation season, October to March, was analyzed. Interaction between cumulative precipitation and carry-over storage was analyzed with linear regression model for ten study reservoirs. Using the regression model, reservoir drought response ability was evaluated with expression of excess and deficiency. The results showed that future droughts will be more severe than past droughts. Especially in case of non-exceedance probability of 10%, drought in southern region seemed to be serious. Nine study reservoirs showed deficiency range from 10% to 55%, which turned out to be vulnerable for future drought. Only Jang-Chan reservoir was secure for early growing season in spite of drought with deficiency of 8% and -2%. The results of this study represents current agricultural reservoirs have vulnerability for the upcoming drought.

보다 체계적인 수자원관리를 위해 OECD를 비롯한 많은 선진국에서 지표를 활용하고 있다. 기후변화 등으로 국가 물부족에 대한 우려가 높아지고 있음에도 불구하고 실제 물이 얼마나 부족한지 어디가 부족한지를 쉽게 평가할 수 있는 기준이 부족하기 때문에 이수부문에 대한 국가수자원지표를 설정해 보고자 한다. 국가가 꼭 관리해야 할 핵심지표를 선정하기 위해 외국의 지표를 모두 검토하였고 이 지표들 중 우리나라의 여건에 알맞은 지표를 선정하였다. 또한 향후 정책지표로 선정되기에 충분한지를 결정하기 위한 많은 전문가들의 자문을 통해 완성도를 높이고자 하였다. 지표의 선정기준은 첫째, 가능한 한 국민이 이해할 수 있도록 쉬워야 한다. 둘째, 정량적으로 표현될 수 있어야 한다. 셋째, 국제간 비교도 가능해야 하며 마지막으로 장기목표 설정이 가능해야 한다. 다양한 지표 중 8개가 핵심지표로 선정되었다. 그러나 지표 설정을 위한 기초자료와 정보가 아직은 부족하기 때문에 지표의 완성도가 높지는 못하다. 향후 정부와의 협력 하에 지표의 완성도를 높이기 위해 유역조사와 같은 기초자료의 수집을 보다 체계화할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단한다.
