Objectives : In order to infer the effect of blood-activating and stasis-dispelling herbs by the analysis of effect terms which have extracted and refined, based on five tastes. Methods : I extracted the effect terms and five tastes of blood-activating and stasis-dispelling herbs written in Herbology. Extracted effect terms was divided into single meaning term and was refined as typical term. After that, I sorted herbs according to the five tastes and find the most highly mentioned effect terms. And I infered each herb's effects based on the relationship between five tastes and most highly mentioned terms. Results & Conclusions : I extracted 5 tastes and 53 effect terms and refined it as 43 effect terms. As the result of analyzing the effect term based the tastes, blood-activating and stasis-dispelling herbs are usually have blood-activating and pain-relieving. The herbs that have the hot taste, have the effect of moving-qi, stasis-breaking and aggregation-dispersing. And I supposed new effects of 5 kinds of herbs among them. The herbs that have the sweet tastes, have the effect of stasis-dispelling. And I supposed new effects of 2 kinds of herbs among them by analyzing the relationship between the tastes and effect terms.

This study was conducted to analyze the contents in the dietary fiber and amino acid compositions of 23 vegetables and 6 fruits and to identify the current contents. We generated data on the contents of total, insoluble and soluble dietary fiber (TDF, IDF and SDF), respectively. The TDF and IDF contents were lowest (0.56 g/100 g and 0.44 g/100 g) in wild garlic and highest (5.87 g/100 g and 5.66 g/100 g) in perilla leaves. A total of 18 kinds of amino acids were found in most samples. Essential and non-essential amino acid contents ranged from 53.16-2107.54 mg/100 g and 191.66-2892.28 mg/100 g, respectively. The highest essential and non-essential amino acid content was hot pepper leaves followed by perilla leaves and aralia. They had higher contents of both TDF and amino acids. The results of the study can serve as a fundamental source of information in DF and amino acids for diet planning.

As population grows and urban facilities are concentrated in specific areas due to recent urbanization and industrialization, cities have structures vulnerable to both natural and man-made disasters. Most of these structures, whether buildings or residential houses, are left in a defenseless state if not given the appropriate check-up before they are built. The process of rapid urbanization without establishing the proper urban fire risk assessment will surely lead to disasters. This phenomenon occurred during the process of rapid urbanization and maybe said the result of chaotic urban expansion where modern urban infrastructure is not yet equipped in the city. Under the said circumstances, propagation processes of Korean urban fire cases were investigated to establish fire risk assessment system. Moreover, this paper explains the experiment performed for establishing urban risk assessment model. The said experiment was conducted using the new urban fire risk assessment model.

This study analyzed the characteristics of the presence of multiple chronic diseases (MCDs) in older adults who transferred from long-term care hospitals (LTCHs) to emergency departments (EDs). According to the data from the national emergency department information system from January 1, to December 31, 2019, the number of older adults transferred from LTCHs to the ED due to chronic diseases was 13,608. Among those who MCDs, 79.9% were over 75 years old, and 74.0% were hospitalized for MCDs. The length of stay in the ED differed according to the presence of MCDs (P<0.001). As for the prevalence of MCDs, the odds ratio (OR) of the ED and in the hospitalized patients was high in Gwangju (OR 8.899 vs. 8.142) and Jeonbuk (OR 13.865 vs. 10.676). As described above, the characteristics of patients regarding the presence of MCDs varied according to age and region.

Background: The purpose of this study was to the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak on emergency departments (EDs) in patients under the age of 18 years with respiratory disease. Also, we analyzed similarities and differences in patients including revisit before and after the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: This study population was respiratory patients under the age of 18 years who visited all 403 EDs in Korea between January 1st, 2019 and December 31st, 2020, using the National Emergency Department Information System Database. The primary outcome was the number of respiratory patients according to age, sex, the type of EDs, season, Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (KTAS) levels, the result of ED, and length of stay. The secondary outcome was the number of revisit respiratory patients within 72 hours. We calculated the risk-adjusted revisit rates according to the KTAS level using a multiple logistic regression model. Results: The number of ED visits decreased from 274,526 in 2019 to 79,007 in 2020; this number was 71.2% lower than that before COVID-19. In spring 2020, this number was 90.1% lower than during the same period in 2019. For the revisit rate in the study population, the adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 1.22 (1.05-1.41) in 2019 and 1.39 (1.07-1.81) in 2020. Conclusion: Implementing appropriate emergency care policies in severe respiratory patients would have contributed to improving the safety of reducing in revisit rate.

For a correlation to study the five tastes and efficacies in oriental medicine concepts, we used herbal medicines with bitter taste character in traditionally effective and experimental methods. In this study, we tested the in vitro effect of 20 typical kinds of herbal medicines with bitter taste on platelet aggregation induced by collagen in human whole blood using the impedance method of aggregometry. Among them, 3 kinds of hot water extracts and 2 kinds of 70% ethanol extracts showed the significant inhibiting effect on whole blood aggregation $(^{***}p<0.001)$. In particular, Coptidis Rhizoma (Coptis chinensis) extracts were selected as the most effective candidate with a strong grade of bitter taste through the sensory test of trained panels. The results from this experiment provide pharmacological evidence for the traditional use of bitter tasting herbs with traditional medicine theory, suggesting that strong bitter taste herbs could be help problems of blood circulation more than mild bitter tasting herbs.

The culture conditions to maximize the production of laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) from Fomitopsis pinicola mycelia were investigated. Among the tested media for the enzyme production, mushroom complete medium (MCM ; 2% dextrose, 0.2% peptone, 0.2% yeast extract, 0.05% $KH_2PO_4$, and 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$) showed the highest activity of the enzyme. To optimize the culture condition for the laccase activity, influence of various carbon and nitrogen sources was investigated in MCM. Among various carbon and nitrogen sources, 2% glucose and 0.4% peptone showed the highest production of the enzyme, respectively. For the phosphorus and inorganic source, 0.05% $NaH_2PO_4$ and 0.05% $CaCl_2$ were best for the enzyme activity. The enzyme production was reached to highest level after the cultivation for 8 days at $25^{\circ}C$. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) followed by the laccase activity staining using 2, 2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) as the substrate was performed to identify the laccase under culture conditions studied. Zymogram analysis of the culture supernatant showed a laccase band with molecular mass of 52 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were $80^{\circ}C$ and pH 3.0.

The aim of this study was to provide fundamental information on the validity and credibility of the Korean geometric psychological assessment (GEOPIA) by investigating the degree of relation between the GEOPIA and the MBTI. Data was collected from 331 subjects aged 19 to 70, residing in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Jeolla Province, or Gyeongsang Province. Participants completed the GEOPIA and the MBTI during the period of May to September 2017. The study calculated Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ to verify the tests' validity and reliability through SPSS. For the relational analysis between the results of the tests, we conducted a one-way analysis of variance on the first group of the GEOPIA's personality types, and the Scheffe Test if significant relationship was found. The study found that the circle type was predisposed to ESFJ, the triangle type to ESTJ, the rectangle type to ISTJ, and S type to INFP. Higher scores of feeling (F) and perceiving (P) corresponded to circle and S types, thinking (T) and judging (J) for triangle and rectangle types, extroversion (E) for circle and triangle types, and introversion (I) for rectangle and S types. These confirmed the substantial relations between the GEOPIA and the MBTI.
