  • Objectives: This study reports the effects of GeonChil (Rhus verniciflua stokes) pharmacopuncture in patients with dyspepsia. Method: We treated all five patients with GeonChil pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, and moxibustion and evaluated them using the Korean Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (KGSRS), which is used to assess overall gastrointestinal symptoms. Result: After treatment, the KGSRS showed improvement in all five patients. Marked improvement was seen especially in abdominal pain, heartburn, eructation, and increased flatus symptoms. Conclusion: GeonChil pharmacopuncture may represent a new treatment for the improvement of dyspepsia.

  • Objectives : Heating process is the traditional processing method that has been applied to reduce the toxicity of dried resin of Toxicodendron vernicifluum (Anacardiacea) used as Geon-chil (乾漆, Lacca Rhois Exsiccata or Toxicodendri Resina). Urushiol, which is found in the plants of Toxicodendron genus, is a toxic compound that is absorbed into the skin and induces allergic dermatitis by being contacted. Hence, the reduction of urushiol level by heating processing of Geon-chil is crucial method for its medicinal application. Methods : Due to lack of Geon-chil processing-related articles, the articles researching the processing of lacquer (漆), as a coating material, were collected and analyzed to investigate the chemical change of urushiol during heating process. Results : The results demonstrate that the resin which was collected from the sap of T. vernicifluum tree was dried under warm and humid conditions repeatedly. During primary drying process, the laccase, a copper-containing enzyme in the resin, participated in the formation of urushiol polymers and thereafter urushiol-related toxicity could be reduced by making a lacquer harder and more stable. Moreover, heating a lacquer over 200℃ could cause thermo-degradation of urushiol polymers, and vaporized thermally degraded urushiol monomers and their by-products, which were determined using pyrolysis/GC-MS. Conclusions : These results support that heating process being performed over 200 ℃, such as stir-frying (炒) or calcination (煅), reduces the urushiol content in Geon-chil and hence, its medicinal use can be more stable without urushiol-related allergic reactions.

  • Objective : Peripheral neuropathy refers to the symptoms caused by damage to peripheral fibers, inflammation and degeneration. This study reports the effects of moxibustion, electric moxibustion, and pharmacopuncture including GeonChil(Rhus verniciflua stokes, 乾漆)and Whalhyul(活血) pharmacopuncture on patients with peripheral neuropathy induced by anti-cancer drugs and chemotherapy. Method : We administered moxibustion, electric moxibustion, GeonChil and Whalhyul pharmacopuncture to two patients who showed peripheral neuropathy induced by anti-cancer drugs and chemotherapy. The symtoms were evaluated using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy assessment tool (CIPNAT). Results : Following observations were made after treatments. Case 1 : After nine procedures, the score of VAS was decreased. Feeling of cold and numbness were improved, and as rotation movement of ankle was also possible, gait disturbance were improved. Case 2 : After, seven procedures symptoms of both shoulder pain were improved, and the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy were eliminated. Conclusion : We found the possibility of symptom improvement after moxibustion, electric moxibustion, and pharmacopuncture treatment on peripheral neuropathy caused by anti-cancer drugs. Clinical studies of pilot study and control settings will need to be carried out later.

  • 근래 실리콘 나노선을 이용한 FET타입의 바이오 센서로의 응용 연구가 활발하다. 본 연구에서는 top-down 방식으로 제작한 실리콘 나노선의 전자수송 특성을 측정 분석하여 실리콘 나노선의 기하학적 변수에 따른 수송 변수를 추출하였다. 두께가 40 nm인 SOI wafer로부터 출발하여 일반적인 포토리소그라피와 건식식각 공정을 통하여 선폭이 100-300 nm 그리고 길이가 2-20 mm인 실리콘 나노선을 제작하고 resistance 및 transconductance를 측정하여 전하농도와 이동도의 선폭에 대한 의존도를 얻었다. 이를 바탕으로 bare surface, OH-activated surface, APTES-treated surface등 실리콘 표면상태에 따른 표면전하의 시간에 대한 진화과정을 모니터 할 수 있었으며, 또한 PBS 용액상태에서 pH를 변화시킴에 따른 전하수송 특성곡선의 변화를 연구하였다.
