Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of gargling with A-Solution and 0.9% normal saline on xerostomia, halitosis, and salivary pH among nursing students. Methods: The study design was a randomized, controlled trial. The experimental group received oral gargling treatment for 15 seconds with A-solution while the control group received oral gargling treatment for the same time with 0.9% normal saline. Outcome variables were measured at baseline, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes. Results: The groups were homogeneous in general characteristics, and the outcome variables before the treatment between the experimental group and the control group. 1) There were no significant differences in xerostomia, halitosis, and salivary pH between the two groups. 2) There were no significant differences in xerostomia, halitosis, and salivary pH based on the time. 3) There were significant interactions between group and time in subjective halitosis (F=3.766, p=.034) only. Conclusion: These findings indicate that oral gargling with Aroma solution and 0.9% normal saline could have the same effect of reducing xerostomia and halitosis in nursing students.

Purpose: The study was performed to evaluate effects of aroma therapy on the anxiety, blood pressure and pulse of uterine leiomyoma patients before surgery and to apply it as the actual nursing intervention. Method: From Aug1st to Nov. 30th, 2007, the experimental group (n=30) and the control group (n=30) were selected in 1 hospital, Busan. Lavender and Bergamot oil mixed together at a 3:2 ratio was applied to the experimental group two times at 8-9 pm the day before surgery and twice 30 minutes before the surgery. Anxiety, VAS, blood pressure, and pulse were measured to evaluate the effects of aroma therapy. The data analysis was done using the SPSS/PC 12.0 program using chi-square test and t-test. Results: Hypothesis 1 was supported. The VAS of the experimental group was lower than control group after aroma therapy. Hypothesis 2 was partly supported. The systolic blood pressure and pulse of experimental group was significantly decreased, but diastolic blood pressure wasn't difference. The VAS, systolic blood pressure and pulse of control group were increased. Conclusion: The study verified that the aroma therapy is a very effective nursing intervention that can reduce anxiety before surgery. It is recommended to apply aroma therapy actively to patients experiencing anxiety before surgery procedure.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to identify the effects of aroma-foot-reflexology on premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea and lower abdominal skin temperature of nursing students. Methods: This study used a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study design. The participants were divided into two groups, a control group with 37 students and a treatment with 24 students. A 35 minute three times a week aroma-foot-reflexology was carried out for the treatment group. The data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. Results: The results showed that aroma-foot reflexology was significantly effective in reducing premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea, and raised lower abdominal skin temperature of the students. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that aroma-foot-reflexology is an effective nursing intervention in reducing premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea and in improving lower abdominal skin temperature. It is, therefore, recommended that the aroma-foot reflexology should be a clinical practice as an effective nursing intervention to reduce premenstrual syndrome and dysmenorrhea and to improve lower abdominal skin temperature of nursing students.

Many researches have been made on the processing technology of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), which is widely used for clothing and non-clothing applications. In this study, we coated PET filaments with m-aramid resin to improve heat resistance and antimicrobial properties. In order to enhance adhesion between PET and m-aramid polymer, the adhesive polymer was coated on the PET filaments using a winding speed of 100m/min and then treated with m-aramid. Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyze the surface of the adhesive polymer and m-aramid treated PET filament. The change of initial degradation temperature according to treatment was confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis. Antimicrobial activity analysis using bacterial reduction method showed that PET filament treated with adhesive polymer and m-aramid had an increased antibacterial effect compared to untreated PET filament.

발효란"박테리아,곰팡이,효모의 효소에 의해 일어나는 계속적인 변화"로 규정한다. 발효에 의해 일어나는 화학적 변화의 예를 들면 우유의 acidulation. 전분의 분해.설탕이 알콜과 이산화탄소로 변화되는 것과 질소 유기화합물의 산화등이 있다. 배지, 온도, 소금, 산도 배양 용기 및 시간과 같은 몇몇 요인이 발효 과정에 중요한 역할을 한다. 사실 발효식품 제조에 있어서 제품의 향미,텍스쳐,아로마 기타 다른 요소들이 어느 정도의 발효시간에 따라 차이가 있기때문에 단순히 급하게 서두를 수도 없다. 빵, 맥주, 사이다, 와인, 치이즈와 요구르트류의 식품과 음료는 발효과정을 통해 만들어진다. 이들 제품 이외에 어떤 제품은 다른 식품 제조에 이용될 수 있는데, 광의의 이들 식품 소재는 새롭고 기발한 발효기법 뿐아니라 전통적인 기법을 사용해서 생산 되기도 한다. 예를 들면 잔탄검(xanthan gum)은 고분자 폴리사카라드로 Bacterium xanthomona campestris를 이용한 발효과정을 통해 생산되는데 기질로서 설탕을 사용한다 젤란검(Gellan Gum)은 수용성 폴리사카이라이드로 Sphingomonas elodea 순수균의 발효에 의해 생산된다. 이와 같은 다중 기능의 하이드로콜로이드는 IFT Food technology 산업 성공상을 수년에 걸쳐 받았고, 제조업자들은 이것을 증점제, 안정제, 조직강화제로 이용했다. 최근 식품, 음료와 의약품에 사용하는 소이이소플라본(soy isoflavone)이 주목을 받고 있다. 소이이소프라본 중 제니스데인(genistein). 다이드제인(daizein)과 글라이스데인(glycitcin) 같은 soy sioflavone이 건강에 이익을 준다고 연구되었고, 독자적인 발효 과정으로 건강 증진과 기능성을 준다는 이들 성분이 더 많이 함유하는 대두 제품을 내놓고 있다. 본문에서는 12개 발효소재(ingredients)를 살펴보고 이들의 최근 개발동향을 재조명해 보았다. 이들의 개발동향은 시간이 결정적인 요인이 될 수 있는 발효과정을 사용하기 때문에 시기적으로 적절하게 인식될 수 있을뿐만 아니라, 건강, 장점,향미와 관련된 오늘날의 시장경향일 수도 있다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to verify the effects of aromatherapy on labor pain and perception of the childbirth experience. Methods: This study was a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this experiment consisted of forty eight primiparas without problems during the gestation period. Twenty four primiparas in the experimental group were given general obstetric nursing care with aromatherapy every two hours. Twenty four primiparas in the control group were given general obstetric nursing care only. Data was collected for labor pain measured by a labor pain expression scale, uterine contraction activity measured by Montevideo units in the latent phase, active phase, and transition phase and the perception of childbirth experience 24hours after birth. Data was analyzed by t-test, and repeated measures of ANOVA with an SPSS program. Results: No significant group effects were found, but significant time effects were found for labor pain, and uterine contraction activity. There was no significant difference in postpartum mothers' perception about childbirth. Conclusion: In this study, effects of aromtherapy decreasing labor pain expression, and increasing the perception of childbirth was not found.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether aromatherapy massages with manual lymph drainage (MLD) are significantly more effective than sham massages with MLD in reducing edematous limb volume in lymphedema. This study was performed on 46 patients who had developed unilateral upper or lower lymphedema. Twenty-three patients served as the experimental group and were treated with complex decongestive physiotherapy (CDP) applications including aroma massages with MLD, multi layered compression bandages, remedial exercises and skin care. Twenty-three patients in the control group were treated with CDP applications including sham massages with MLD, bandages, exercises and skin care. Patients undergo a therapy program once a day; 5 days a week for 2 weeks. Percentage excess volume (PEV) and body mass index (BMI) were recorded before and after treatment. PEV and BMI were significantly decreased before and after treatment in the experimental as well as in the control groups (p<.05). However, the percentage excess volume and BMI were not significantly improved after treatment between the two groups (p>.05). This study there suggests that aroma massages is not effective in the edema of patients with lymphedema.
