Objectives : The objective is that we measure and analyze Pulse-Respiration Ratio and Body Composition Analysis to study the correlation between both. Methods : First, after subjects take a rest over 10 minutes, we measure their electrocardiogram and respiration pattern through which we take average peak interval to calculate an average pulse cycle and a respiration cycle. An average respiration cycle divided by an average Pulse Rate gives Pulse-Respiration Ratio. Next, we draw out 22 Body Composition Analysis indicators by using In-Body 720 model. Last, we analyze and take statistics on them by using SPSS 13.0 program. Results : Negative is the correlation between P/R Ratio and Body Composition Analysis indicator like fatness degree, body fat volume, body fat rate, abdominal fatness, BMI. Conclusions : 1. The higher P/R Ratio the more likely to be thin, the lower P/R Ratio the more likely to be fat. 2. We separately analyze P/R Ratio depending on each breathing frequency and pulse frequency to find out that breathing frequency has great influence and that breathing frequency decides the fatness degree. 3. In study on the correlation between P/R Ratio and Body Composition Analysis, fatness degree, in-body fat volume, in-body fat rate, BMI are the related indicators, which shows the connection with the fatness indicators. 4. In study on the correlation between Han-Yeol [寒熱] grade and Body Composition Analysis indicators, the result is that Han[寒] has no connection and that only Yeol[熱] grade has something to do with it, which means the higher heat symptom subjects have, the more basic metabolism volume and muscular build they have.

T파는 심장의 심실의 재분극을 나타내는 파라미터로써 부정맥 진단에 있어 매우 중요하다. T 파를 검출하기 위한 기존 연구방법으로는 주파수 분석과 비선형 접근방법 등이 제안되어 왔지만 검출 정확도가 낮다는 문제점이 있다. 이는 T파의 경우 P파와 중복되는 경우가 발생하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 QRS 구간을 제거한 후, 이동평균을 통한 P파와 T파의 대상 영역을 추출하여 정확히 T파를 검출하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 전처리를 통해 잡음이 제거된 심전도 신호에서 Q, R, S를 검출한다. 이후 검출된 QRS 구간을 제거, 이동평균을 통해 4개의 PAC 패턴과 기타부정맥에 대한 판단규칙을 적용하여 P, T파의 대상 영역을 추출하고, 이를 대상으로 RR 간격과 RT 간격의 문턱치를 적용하여 T파를 검출하였다. 제안한 방법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스 48개의 레코드를 대상으로 한 T파의 평균 검출율은 95.32%의 성능을 나타내었다.

BACKGROUND: Children with significant adenotonsillar hypertrophy (ATH) may show right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. We aimed to evaluate RV dysfunction in such children before adenotonsillectomy by evaluating peak longitudinal right atrial (RA) strain (PLRAS) in systole. PLRAS, electrocardiogram (ECG) and conventional echocardiographic parameters were compared to distinguish children with significant ATH with sleep-related breathing disorder (ATH-SRBD) from controls. METHODS: Fifty-six children (23 controls and 33 children with ATH-SRBD without symptoms of heart failure) were retrospectively studied. Preoperative echocardiograms and ECGs of children with ATH-SRBD who underwent adenotonsillectomy were compared to those of controls. Available postoperative ECGs and echocardiograms were also analyzed. RESULTS: Preoperatively, prolonged maximum P-wave duration (Pmax) and P-wave dispersion (PWD), decreased PLRAS, and increased tricuspid annulus E/E' were found in children with ATH-SRBD compared to those of controls. From the receiver operating characteristic curves, PLRAS was not inferior compared to tricuspid annulus E/E', Pmax, and PWD in differentiating children with ATH-SRBD from controls; however, the discriminative abilities of all four parameters were poor. In children who underwent adenotonsillectomy, echocardiograms $1.2{\pm}0.4$ years after adenotonsillectomy showed no difference in postoperative PLRAS and tricuspid annulus E/E' when compared with those of the preoperative period. CONCLUSIONS: Impaired RA deformation was reflected as decreased PLRAS in children with ATH-SRBD before adenotonsillectomy. Decreased PLRAS in these children may indicate subtle RV dysfunction and increased proarrhythmic risk. However, usefulness of PLRAS as an individual parameter in differentiating preoperative children with ATH-SRBD from controls was limited, similar to those of tricuspid annulus E/E', Pmax, and PWD.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to find the location of acupoints that are effective for increasing parasympathetic nervous system(PNS) activity among acupoints used to relieve symptoms such as dizziness and nausea. Materials and Methods: Twenty healthy adult men participated in this experiment. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS) was applied to P6(Neiguan), ST36(Zusanli) and BL20(Pishu) for 30 minutes. For 5 minutes before and after stimulation, Electrocardiogram(ECG), Electrodermal activity(EDA), Respiration, and Skin temperature(SKT) were measured using biosignalsplux Professional(biosignalsplux; Portugal). Paired t-test was performed for the results before and after stimulation, and a one-way ANOVA test between stimulations was performed for the rate of change before and after stimulation. Results: When each acupoint was stimulated with TENS, it was found that the PNS was generally activated. In addition, when considering the change in biosignals after stimulation, the participants stimulated with P6 showed the most consistent results. Conclusion: As a result of stimulating each acupoint, it was found that stimulating P6 can effectively increase PNS activity. These results indicate that methods of stimulating P6 may be most effective in alleviating symptoms of motion sickness.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present a way to alleviate motion sickness(MS) by stimulating acupoint through PEMFs, and to assess the effectiveness of PEMFs against stimulation previously used to stimulate acupoint using biosignal evaluations and surveys. Materials and Methods: Thirteen healthy men participated in the experiment. MS was induced in the participants, and MS relief stimulation was applied for 30 minutes. There were 4 types of MS relief stimulation, and Sham, Reliefband, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS), and Pulsed electromagnetic fields stimulation(PEMFs) were used. The biosignals were measured during 30 minutes of applying MS relief stimulation, and the symptoms of MS were evaluated through a questionnaire survey. The measured biosignals are Electrocardiogram(ECG), Electrodermal activity(EDA), Respiration, Skin temperature(SKT), and Electrogastrogram(EGG). A one-way ANOVA test was performed for the rate of change by stimulation for MS relief over time. Results: Participants who were stimulated had a sharp decrease in MS symptoms. Biosignals were analyzed to evaluate autonomic nervous system activity, and the parasympathetic nervous system could be activated through stimulation. Conclusion: TENS and PEMFs were more effective in relieving MS symptoms than Reliefband. It is believed that PEMFs will be effective in consideration of the comfort of participants to be applied to actual vehicles, and studies to further verify the effects of PEMFs on MS should be conducted.

This study focusses on the development of a motion-sensing smart leggings prototype with the help of a module that monitors motion using a fiber-type stretch sensor. Additionally, it acquires data on Electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, and body temperature signals, for the development of smart clothing used in online exercise coaching and customized healthcare systems. The research process was conducted in the following order: 1) Fabrication of a fiber-type elastic strain sensor for motion monitoring, 2) Positioning and attaching the sensor, 3) Pattern development and three-dimensional (3D) design, 4) Prototyping 5) Wearability test, and 6) Expert evaluation. The 3D design method was used to develop an aesthetic design, and for sensing accurate signal acquisition functions, wearability tests, and expert evaluation. As a result, first, the selection or manufacturing of an appropriate sensor for the function is of utmost importance. Second, the selection and attachment method of a location that can maximize the function of the sensor without interfering with any activity should be studied. Third, the signal line selection and connection method should be considered, and fourth, the aesthetic design should be reflected along with functional verification. In addition, the selection of an appropriate material is important, and tests for washability and durability must be made. This study presented a manufacturing method to improve the functionality and design of smart clothing, through the process of developing a prototype of motion-sensing smart leggings.

This study investigates the color stimuli of two varieties of foliage plants by extracting electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram and physiology activity data from 30 participants in their 50s or older. Changes in the physiological activity of subjects against six color stimuli were examined. The stimulus to real green plants 'Silver Queen' was set as the control group, and was compared with other groups including the stimulus to real 'Angel' plants and four stimuli to artificial colors (two color images and color schemes of the same green and red plants). Compared to the five groups, the relative theta power spectrum (RT) and the ratio of alpha to high beta (RAHB) increased in the subjects exposed to real green plants. This result demonstrates that the green plant ('Silver Queen') increases the stability, relaxation, and internal concentration of subjects in a proper state of awakening. The result of this experiment showed a statistically significant difference in the level of RT when subjects were exposed to the groups of real green and red plants. This finding indicates that the green plant increases internal concentration more than the red plant. RT and the relative low beta power spectrum (RLB) in the groups of natural colors were higher than the groups of artificial colors when subjects focused their mind on the two types of real plants. However, the level of relative mid beta power spectrum (RMB), ratio of SMR to theta (RST), ratio of mid beta to theta (RMT), relative high beta power spectrum (RHB), and spectral edge frequency 95% were higher when subjects were exposed to the photos and colors scheme of plants than when they were exposed to real plants. The subjects experienced more "comfortable" emotions when they were looking at plants with green colors. Overall, it is recommended to use the natural colors of real plants in places where which stability and relaxation are required. On the contrary, the artificial colors of plants such as their photos and color schemes are useful in places where a high level of concentration is required in a short period of time.
