Purpose - This paper aims to verify whether the Fisher effect and the international Fisher effect are significant between China and South Korea in the long and short run, respectively. Research design, data, and methodology - The annual and monthly data, respectively, are employed to conduct an empirical estimation under the fully modified ordinary least squares(FMOLS). The nominal interest rate is treated as an independent variable. The inflation rate is treated as a dependent variable. Results - The results exhibit whenever in the long or short run, the Fisher effect exists in China and South Korea. However, the Fisher effect in South Korea is more significant than that of in China. Meanwhile, an empirical analysis is also preformed to investigate the long-run and the short-run international Fisher effect between China and South Korea. The deviation from the equilibrium relationship is that the commodity market and the Financial market have started to integrate in China. But China's integrated level proved to be relatively lower. Conclusions - To exploit that the Fisher effect and the international Fisher effect hold between China and South Korea can help both countries deal with the sufferings from integration of the commodity market and the financial market.

Objectives : This study is designed investigate the effect of oriental medial therapy on a 63 year old female patient had Miller Fisher Syndrome with sleeplessness. Methods : We experienced a case of Miller Fisher Syndrome and treated with herbal medicine, eletro-acupuncture. The effects of treatment were measured by sleeping hour, taken measurements with a ruler(eyeball movement). Results : Whole condition (ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and so on) was improved and Oriental treatment had a good effect on sleeping hour. Conclusions : Oriental medical treatments were very effective for the patient had Miller Fisher Syndrome with sleeplessness.

Objectives : This study is designed to investigate the effect of oriental medical therapy on a 10 year old male patient had atypical Miller-Fisher syndrome with ophthalmoplegia and ptosis. Methods : We experienced a case of atypical Miller-Fisher syndrome and treated with acupuncture treatment, electro-acupuncture therapy, herbal medicine. The effect of treatment were evaluated with pictures of palpebra and eyeball movement. Results : After oriental medical treatment, ophthalmoplegia and ptosis was improved. Conclusion : Acupuncture, electro-acupuncture therapy and herbal medication is promising treatment for atypical Miller-Fisher syndrome with ophthalmoplegia and ptosis.

■ Objectives The purpose of this case report is to show the effect of Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM) on a patient with Miller Fisher Syndrome. ■ Methods A patient with Ataxia, Diplopia, Mydriasis diagnosed as Miller Fisher Syndrome was treated with herbal medication, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and press needles. Then we evaluated the improvement with the size of pupil, NRS(Numeral Rating Scale) of Diplopia, Assessment for Gait disturbance. ■ Results We could observe decrease in pupil size and NRS of Diplopia and improve in assessment for gait disturbance after the TKM treatment. ■ Conclusion This case showed the effect of TKM treatment on Miller Fisher syndrome.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to report the effect of Korean Medicine Treatment for patient with ophthalmoplegia in Miller-Fisher Syndrome. Methods : A patient with ophthalmoplegia treated with herbal medicine, cupping therapy and acupuncture(including pharmacopuncture, electroacupuncture). We used photographs of eye movement to evaluate the changes in symptoms, Scott and Kraft score of left eye, visual field test for measuring peripheral visual field, subjective symptom, and VAS for headache, subjective symptom. Results : After treatment, Scott and Kraft score increase from -4 to -2. Visual field of left side improved from 45° to 80°. Also, other symptoms such as diploma, dizziness, headache, gait disturbance was also improved. There are no adverse effects and no relapse of ophthalmoplegia after 20 days of discharge. Conclusions : This case report suggests that Korean Medicine Treatment can be effective for patient with ophthalmoplegia in Miller-Fisher Syndrome.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate index numbers by conducting various comparisons among the widely used index formulas. The comparison is considered in three ways; 1) divergences in the magnitudes of index numbers due to the use of different formulas (Laspeyres, Paasche, Fisher, and Tornqvist); 2) the effect of selection of base year (fixed-year base vs. chain-type); 3) the degree of approximation of indirect to direct quantity index. The empirical application is to sawmills and planing mills industry of U.S. using a national time series data covering years of 1948-2000. The results show that the differences between Laspeyres and Paasche index can be substantial in some cases while the difference between Fisher and Tornqvist index is minimal. We also confirm that the selection of base year can cause significant divergences, especially when the variables undergo rapid price or quantity changes over time. We find that indirect quantity index approximates direct quantity index reasonably well in U.S. sawmill industry.

This paper studies a novel approach to natural gait cycles based gait recognition via kernel Fisher discriminant analysis (KFDA), which can effectively calculate the features from gait sequences and accelerate the recognition process. The proposed approach firstly extracts the gait silhouettes through moving object detection and segmentation from each gait videos. Secondly, gait energy images (GEIs) are calculated for each gait videos, and used as gait features. Thirdly, KFDA method is used to refine the extracted gait features, and low-dimensional feature vectors for each gait videos can be got. The last is the nearest neighbor classifier is applied to classify. The proposed method is evaluated on the CASIA and USF gait databases, and the results show that our proposed algorithm can get better recognition effect than other existing algorithms.

Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome characterized by ocular paralysis, ataxia, and insensitivity. This report describes the effect of Complex Korean Medicine Treatment (CKMT) on a patient previously diagnosed with MFS presenting with diplopia and facial palsy. The distance at which diplopia occurs, the diplopia questionnaire, the range of diplopia, the degree of facial paralysis, and the degree of ptosis were evaluated at the time of admission and weekly for 1 month. After receiving CKMT for 4 weeks the 62-year-old female had improved symptoms of diplopia, bilateral facial palsy and ptosis caused by MFS. These results show the significant association of MFS with facial paralysis and the improvement achieved with CKMT.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medicine treatment on limitation of eye movement in Miller-Fisher Syndrome. Methods : A patient was treated with herbal medicines, acupuncture(including electropuncture, phamacopuncture), Moxibustion and cupping therapy. To evaluate the result of this treatment, we used photographs of eye movement, Scott and Kraft score of both eye, length of eyeball movement and visual analogue scale(VAS) for subjective symptoms. Results : After treatment, the limitation of eye movement and diplopia were remarkably improved. Also, other symptoms such as dizziness, gait disturbance, facial nerve disorder were disappeared. Conclusions : This study suggests that Korean medicine treatments are effective for patient with limitation of eye movement in Miller-Fisher Syndrome.

Objectives: To describe the effect of traditional Korean medicine and treatment on Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS).Methods: A 54-year-old woman diagnosed with MFS presented with eyeball dysfunction, diplopia, vertigo, right facial palsy, and back dysesthesia. The patient had been treated with immunoglobulin for 21 d, but her symptoms failed to improve. Thus, herbal medicine, acupuncture, electropuncture, pharmacopuncture, and moxibustion were added. Length of eyeball movement, distance that the patient recognize double images in the eyes and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) are measures for the syndrome.Results: The symptoms of the patient considerably improved, with the return of eyeball movement to normal and disappearance of diplopia.Conclusions: The results suggest that Korean medicine may be an effective therapy for MFS.
