Korean Ginseng is a medicinal herb which grows naturally in korea. an ancient country situated in north-eastern Asia. Its medical use was already well known to herb doctors in this region about five thousand years ago since the effectiveness of korean ginseng has been recognized through practical use for a long time. Korean Ginseng has always been regarded as a devine cure. The name "Ginseng" can be found in various medicinal books. many of which were written as early as B.C. 100. In the records of many chinese medical books. dating from the inception of publishing, it was noted that Korean Ginseng was of the highest level of quality. Korean Ginseng originally grew in the mountains of korea. However, this wild Korean Ginseng(js called SANSAM) could not meet the ever-increasing demands. and from the 16th century. it has been cultivated on farms for mass processing and supplying in korea(js called INSAM). It was already recognized in korea a long time ago(B.C. 57 - A.D. 668) that Korean Ginseng possessed the qualities of panacea, tonic and rejuvenator, and had other medicinal properties as well. The effectiveness of Korean Ginseng is widely recognized among south-eastern Asians as well as Chinese. As its effect has been proved scientifically. Korean Ginseng is now becoming the ginseng for all human beings in the world. Korean ginseng is differently called according to processing method. Dried thing is Insam(white ginseng), boiled or steamed is Hongsam(red ginseng). 장뇌삼(long headed ginseng) is artificially grown in the mountain no in field for a long time. So the body is thin and some long. but ingredients are concentrated. Korean wild ginseng(SANSAM) is rare in these days but we developed cosmetic ingredient. The scientific name of Korean Ginseng is Panax Ginseng. It has acknowledge as a natural mysterious cure among the notheastern peoples. because of its broad medicinal application. The origin of the word" Panax" derived from panacea. a Greek word meaning cure-all. According to the classification method of herb medicines in the Chinese medicinal book. "God-Farmer Materia Medica(A.D. 483-496) korean Ginseng was described as the superlative drug: panacea. tonic and rejuvenator.

Objectives : This study aimed to determine the status of thermal stimulation devices approved in Korea for medical applications over the past 10 years, and based on this, to obtain insight for future thermal treatment in Korean medical institutions. Methods : We searched the item classification list entitled "Regulations on Medical Device Items and Rating by Item" from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Notice No. 2021-24, 2021 (Enforced March 19, 2021; www.mfds.go.kr) for individually licensed heaters using the terms "heat" and "heating". Results : We identified 17 items of thermal stimulation product group, of which 1,308 devices were licensed by February 4, 2022, and 53.2% of them (n=696) were devices with valid permits for distribution in Korea. Among the licensed devices, heating pad systems under/overlay (electric, home use) were approved the most, but combinational stimulator (for medical use, home use; Grade 2) accounted for the highest percentage among the current valid permission. Moxibustion apparatuses were licensed separately for electrical use and non-electrical use, and occupied a low percentage of the total devices. We analyzed 307 devices that were accompanied by technical documents and found that the heat sources were wires in 145 (47.2%), infrared rays in 44 (14.3%) and ultrasonic waves in 42 (13.7%) devices. Most (83.1%) devices were used for pain relief, while other applications included beauty, cancer treatment, maintenance of infant body temperature, and healing fractures. Conclusions : Thermal stimulation devices accounted for about 0.9% of all medical devices, and among them, combinational stimulators and heating pad systems under/overlay had the most valid permits. Thermal stimulation devices using heating wires and infrared rays were the most prevalent, and most were used to relieve pain. In order to develop a range of thermal stimulation devices that can be utilized in Korean medical institutions, it is imperative that they have potential applications beyond pain management, addressing various medical purposes. To achieve this, foundational research is necessary to effectively apply diverse heat sources based on medical objectives.

Purpose : this study purposed to investigate school nursing phenomena in Korea by applying ICNP, the international standard nursing classification system developed by ICN, and to compare school nursing phenomena at elementary, middle and high schools. Method : The subjects of this study are 110 nursing teachers from 82 elementary schools, 16 middle schools, and 12 high schools. In the survey, subjects were asked to score the degree to which phenomena and characteristics of Korean school nursing, identified in previous research, on a 5 point scale. Questionnaires were distributed and recovered by mail and email. The period of data collection was 6 months from July to December 2003. The general characteristics of schools and nursing teachers were represented with frequencies and percentages, the phenomena and characteristics of school nursing with the mean score of the questions, and the phenomena school nursing by school grade with ANOVA and Duncan's posterior analysis. Results : 1) As for the characteristics of schools according to school nursing phenomena related to human behavior, the mean score of questions on inadequate stress management was highest at 3.24 points followed by the score on inadequate weight control (3.23), inadequate eating habits (3.22), the risk of spine disorders (2.68), inadequate emergency management (2.62), inadequate response to sex -related problems (2.19), and smoking and drug use (1.85). 2) As for the characteristics of schools according to school nursing phenomena related to human function, the mean score of questions on oral health management was highest at 3.11 points followed by the score on the risk of digestive system disorder (2.87), improper eyesight management (2.81), the risk of respiratory system disorders (2.75), lack of sexual identity (2.52), and inadequate contagious disease control (2.12). 3) As for the mean score according to school nursing phenomena related to environment, the score of the risk of accidents in classroom was highest as 2.68 points followed by the score of the risk of accidents around the school (2.65), maladjustment to school (2.62), the risk of accidents outside the classroom (2.43), inadequate learning environment (1.83), the risk of exposure to socially and physically harmful environment factors (1.82), and inadequate waste disposal (1.77). 4) This study tested the mean scores of questions corresponding to each school nursing phenomenon in order to see if there is a difference in the school nursing phenomenon among elementary, middle and high schools, and performed Duncan's posterior comparison for school nursing phenomena. A significant difference was found at p<.1. According to the results, school nursing phenomena found to be significantly different among elementary, middle and high schools was smoking and drug use (p<.05), which appeared more problematic in high school than in elementary school. phenomena such as inadequate eating habits, inadequate weight control, inadequate response to sex-related problems and inadequate waste disposal were also found to be statistically different at p<.1; however, according to the result of Duncan's posterior comparison, no difference was found among groups in improper eating habits and improper response to sex-related problems, and a significant difference was found between middle and high schools in inadequate weight control and inadequate waste disposal. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to plan school health projects focused on the characteristic school nursing phenomena that had high scores and to develop and execute school healthe projects in accordance with the characteristics of elementary, middle and high schools. Considering that the scores of school nursing phenomena related to human behavior are high, it is necessary to introduce school health promotion projects in a systematic way.

연구배경 : 국내에서 검출된 폐렴구균의 페니실린 내성률은 약 70%로 알려져 있고, 특히 고도 내성률은 33%로 매우 높은 것으로 알려져 왔다. 내성 균주에 대한 경험적 항생제가 실패할 수 있다는 보고가 있었으나, 내성 여부가 사망률과 무관하다는 반론들도 적지 않았다. 이에 저자들은 폐렴구균에 의한 지역사회획득폐렴에서 페니실린 내성률을 조사하였고, 페니실린에 대한 내성이 치료 실패와 직접적인 연관이 있는지 확인하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1999년 7월부터 2001년 5월까지 한림대학교 성심병원에 내원한 지역사회 획득 폐렴 환자 중 객담 및 혈액 배양검사를 통해 폐렴구균에 의한 폐렴으로 진단된 42명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 배양된 폐렴구균에 대해 E-test를 시행하여 MIC에 따라 감수성, 중등도 내성, 고도 내성으로 분류하여 내성률을 조사하였고, 각 군별로 내성여부에 따른 임상경과를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 폐렴구균에 의한 폐렴으로 진단된 42명의 환자 중 페니실린 감수성 균주($MIC{\leq}0.06{\mu}g/m{\ell}$)는 14예(33.3%), 중등도 내성 균주(MIC $0.1-1{\mu}g/m{\ell}$)는 22예(52.4%), 고도 내성($MIC{\geq}2.0{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) 균주는 6예(14.3%)였다. 경험적 항생제 치료에 대해 감수성 균주에 의한 폐렴 군과 내성 균주에 의한 폐렴 군간에 임상경과는 차이가 없었다. 폐렴구균에 의한 폐렴에서 페니실린에 대한 내성률은 66.7%로 현재까지의 보고와 큰 차이가 없으나 고도내성의 경우 약 33%로 알려진 것에 비해 저자들의 연구에서는 14.3%로 낮게 조사되었다. DRSPTWG의 분류에 따른 내성률은 26.2%에 불과했으며, 고도내성에 해당하는 균주는 없었다. 결 론 : 이와 같은 결과는 폐렴구균에 의한 폐렴의 내성을 정의하는 현재의 기준이 지나치게 낮아 항생제 내성이 높게 나타났기 때문으로 사료되며 기존의 기준에 의한 내성은 경험적 항생제 치료의 예후에 별다른 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Authors studied the workers' knowledge about the health problems detected through the previous workers' periodic health examination, content of follow-up management ana actions taken for their health problem detected on previous health examination. From June to September 1992, workers' periodic health examination was peformed on workers employed in 10 companies located in 2 middle-sized Korean cities. A questionnaire survey was done far 150 workers who reported to have $D_2$ result of either hypertension or liver disorder at the previous workers' periodic health examination done in 1991. The results are as follows; 1. Of 160 workers who had $D_2$ result of either hypertension or liver disorder in previous examination one year before, only 85 workers(51.3%, 43 workers with hypertension, 38 workers with live disorder) responded that they have such disorders. The other 65 workers responded to questionnaire were all those with C results. Respondents' knowledge about their diagnoses was relatively precise (95.2% in hypertension group, 94.6% in liver disorder group) but knowledge about classification of diseases was poor. 2. The main efforts to solve the health problem nab self management (20 spells, 55.3%), visiting clinic or hospital(6 spells, 12.8%), use of herb medicine (2 spells, 4.3%) and use of drug store(2 spells, 4.3%) in hypertension group. In liver disorder group, 30 spells (71.4%) relied on self management,6 spells (14.3%) on hospital or clinic and 9 spells (21.4%) had no effort to improve the health problem. Content of self management was low salt diet, quit smoking, regular exercise and quit alcohol drinking in order. Avoidance of salt in diet was high in hypertension group and quitting alcohol drinking was high in liver disorder group. In those with self management, 80.7% of hypertension group and 83.3% of liver disorder group continued previous effort. Those, however, who utilized clinic or hospital, only 16.7% and 50.0% were still visiting hospital or clinic. 3. Fifty seven percent of hypertension group and 64.3% of liver disorder group was presently smoking,8.5% and 11.9% reduced smoking and 21.3% and 14.3% stopped smoking. Forty nine percent of hypertension group and 28.6% of liver disorder group was presently drinking. Reduced alcohol intake was reported in 29.8% and 40.5%, 12.8ole and 23.8% stopped alcohol drinking. Sixty six percent of hypertension group and 73.8% of liver disorder group did no regular exercise, but 12.8% and 11.9% of each group increased their physical exercise far last one year. Forty three percent of hypertension group and 38.l% of liver disorder group was overweight (defined by bodymass index greater or equal than 25). Reduced body Weight was reported in 17.2% and 16.7% of each group. Reduced dietary salt intake was high in hypertension group (51.5%). The study results suggest that follow-up management after workers' periodic health examination is not satisfactory. In order to improve this situation, adequate information on the result of the workers' periodic health examination should be distributed to each worker group with health education and counselling.

목 적 : 국제수면장애분류(1990) 진단기준, 야간수면다원검사 및 입면잠복기반복검사로 진단된 기면병 환자군에서 각성시 정량화뇌파 소견을 측정하여 그 특성을 연구하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 약물을 복용하지 않은 8명의 기면병 환자군과 성별과 연령이 짝지어진 8명의 정상 대조군의 각성시 뇌파를 측정하여 비교분석하였다. 뇌파는 국제 10/20 체계에 근거하여 측정하였으며, 측정된 뇌파 중 아티팩트(artifact)가 없는 2.5초간의 이포크(epoch)를 24개 선정하여 푸리에 변환(Fourier transformation, FFT)을 한 후 스펙트럼 분석을 시행하였다. 정량화 뇌파의 각주파수 영역(delta, theta, alpha, beta)에서 측정한 절대력(absolute power), 상대력(relative power), 비대칭도(asymmetry), 동시성(coherence) 및 평균 주파수(mean frequency)를 기면병 환자군과 정상대조군 간에 비교분석하였다. 결 과 : 정상 대조군과 비교하여 기면병 환자군에서 나타난 특징적 소견은 다음과 같았다. 1) 알파 주파수 영역의 후두엽 부위($O_1/O_2$), 두정엽 부위($P_3/P_4$), 측두엽 부위($T_5/T_6$)와 베타 주파수 영역의 후두엽 부위($O_1/O_2$)에서 단극성 양반구간 동시성이 감소하였다. 알파 주파수 영역의 좌반구 부위($T_3/T_5$, $C_3/P_3$, $F_3/O_1$)에서 단극성 반구내 동시성이 감소하였다. 2) 델타 주파수 영역의 후두엽 부위($O_1/O_2$)에서 단극성 양반구간 비대칭도가 감소하였다. 3) 베타 주파수 영역의 후두엽 부위($O_2,\;O_z$)에서 단극성 절대력이 감소하였다. 결 론 : 기면병 환자군에서 나타난 동시성의 변화는 각성 상태에서 정상 대조군에 비해 후반 부위의 양반구간 기능적 신경연결과 좌측 반구내 기능적 신경연결이 감소되어 있을 가능성을 시사한다. 따라서, 본 연구 결과는 기면병의 병태생리는 렘수면 유발/정지 세포(REM-on/off cells)가 있는 뇌교와 같은 뇌의 일정 부위만 단순하게 관계하는 것이 아니라 대뇌피질, 피질하 부위 및 뇌간 등 뇌의 여러 부위가 복잡하게 관계할 가능성이 있다는 것을 제시한다.
