Purpose: This study was to identify the effects of laughing and music therapy on depression and the activities of the autonomic nervous system in the elderly with dementia. Methods: The participants were 61 seniors over 65 years old with dementia, admitted to nursing homes. Twenty of them received laughing therapy, 21 received music therapy and 18 were in the control group. A total of 59 patients' data were analyzed. Depression was measured by Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia tool, and the activities of the autonomic nervous system by the heart rate variability measuring device. The data were analyzed by frequency and percentage, Chi-square test, t-test, ANOVA, and Tukey test. Results: The depression of the music therapy group was more significantly decreased than the laughing therapy group and the control group. The activities of the autonomic nervous system of the laughing therapy group were more significantly increased than the music therapy group. The magnitude of the activities of the autonomic nervous system of the laughing therapy group were more significantly increased than the music therapy group. Conclusion: This study showed that music therapy was more effective than laughing therapy for the decrease of depression. Laughing and music therapy were more effective than in the control group for increasing the activities of the para-sympathetic nervous system and decreasing the activities of the sympathetic nerve system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to survey on the influence of the laughing program on elementary school students' self-esteem and stress coping behaviors. Methods: In total, 43 children (grade 4~6 students) were recruited for self administered questionnaire. Questionnaire was composed of general characteristics, self-esteem, and stress coping behaviors. Ten week course of laughing program was scheduled to the Experimental group, meanwhile no program was given to the control group. Results: The median self-esteem scores in the experimental group was increased from 30.05 to 34 (Z=-2.375, p<.05). Meanwhile control group did not show significant change. The median inactive/avoidant coping scores in the experimental group was decreased from 10 to 9 (Z=-2.028, p<.05). Meanwhile control group did not show significant change in any items of stress coping behaviors. Conclusion: Laughing program may be helpful to improve stress coping behaviors through reducing inactive/avoidance coping as well as to strengthen self-esteem, especially among participants who had low self-esteem before the intervention.

병적 웃음과 울음(Pathological laughing and crying, PLC)은 감정과 관계없이 갑작스럽게 표출되는 웃음이나 울음이 특징이며 신경계 질환과 관련 있다. 이는 환자의 대인관계 및 일상생활에 상당한 곤란을 가져오지만 약물치료에 비교적 반응이 좋으므로 적절한 진단이 중요하다. PLC는 전전두엽과 변연주변 네트워크(paralimbic network), 소뇌 및 교뇌 기저의 조절이상으로 발생한다. 이들의 조절에는 여러 신경전달물질이 관여하며 특히 세로토닌성 기능의 이상이 관련있다. 주된 치료는 약물치료이며 선택적 세로토닌 재흡수 억제제를 비롯한 항우울제에 좋은 효과를 보인다. 그 외 도파민계 약물, 비경쟁적 NMDA 수용체 길항제도 일부 효과가 있다. PLC의 진단과 평가에는 몇 가지 척도들이 사용되고 있으나 그 특징적 임상양상을 파악하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 따라서 이러한 PLC의 임상양상과 병태생리를 이해하고 적절한 치료법을 살펴봄으로써 임상에서의 관심을 높이고자 한다.

본 논문은 웃음을 유발하는 혹은 그러한 의도를 의미하는 희극성을 중심으로 애니메이션의 희극적 본질과 한국 애니메이션에 나타난 희극성을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 그리고 애니메이션의 희극적 본질은 1) 예상되지 못하는 웃음, 어떤 방식으로 창조될 지 예측할 수 없는 상황에서 관객들의 상상력을 자극하고, 이를 통해 지금까지 지각하지 못한 생각, 느낌, 감각 등을 제시하는 창조적 웃음이라는 점 2) 또한 그로테스크적인 표현을 통한 이상적 세계를 제시함으로써 재현하고자 하는 실체에 대한 인식과 지각을 확장하는 웃음이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 일반적으로 애니메이션을 코미디 요소가 강한 대중예술이라고 생각하는 선입관과는 달리 한국 애니메이션의 경우 희극성이 강한 작품은 소수에 불과하며, 창조된 희극성과 그로테스크한 희극성 보다는 캐릭터의 형상이나 움직임 그 자체, 혹은 유머와 재담 중심의 언어적 희극성에 집중되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Methods: The study was conducted based on the non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participations included 12 older adults in the control group and 11 in the experiment group. Data was collected from October 1 to November 22, 2013. Experimental group participated in laughter therapy six times, once a week for 60 minutes of each session. Questionnaires were used to measure pretest and posttest levels of depression and laughing index. Results: At the end of six-week intervention, depression score (z=-2.95 p=.003) and laughter index score (z=-2.81 p=.005) was significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to the control group. Futhermore, there was a significant difference in the depression scores of the experiment group at the posttest, but no signigicant difference was found between the two groups. Conclusion: The study results suggest that the laughter therapy is an effective intervention to reduce the depression but helpful to enhance the laughing index. Therefore, it is expected that laughter therapy will serve as an emotional nursing intervention for elderly patients with depression.

Pathological laughing and crying (PLC) is a condition defined by relatively uncontrollable episodes of laughter, crying or both. PLC is an uncommon symptom usually caused by cerebral lesions. Midbrain involvement causing PLC is extremely unusual and the exact mechanism by which this condition develops is poorly understood. We recently experienced a 51-year-old woman who were diagnosed as PLC after midbrain infarction. She was treated by acupuncture, pulsed electromagnetic therapy (PEMT). After 6 weeks treatment, Pathological Laughter and Crying Scale (PLACS), Korean version of the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (K-SARA) are decreased and Korean version of Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) is increased. Treatment of traditional Korean Medicine could be effective for stoke rehabilitation including post-stroke PLC. And we have considered mechanism of PLC associated with midbrain lesion, dysfunction of cortex-thalamus-hypothalamus-basal ganglia-mesencephalon and faciorespiratory nuclei pathways, cerebro-ponto-cerebellar pathways and damaged serotonergic neurotransmission can cause this based on recent neurobiology of emotion. To define exact mechanism and find effective treatment, further studies are needed.

이 글은 만횡청류의 한 독법을 제시하는 데 목적을 두었다. 만횡청류 독법의 전제는 노랫말이 '뜻과 지취가 보잘 것 없'지만 '손으로 펼치고 눈으로 보'는 독서물이면서 동시에 그것이 '빈연지오(賓筵之娛)'으로 기능했다는 점이다. 독서물이나 가창물에서 희극적인 부분을 찾아내는 일이 어렵지 않은 것도 이런 특성과 밀접하다. '만횡청류 독법의 전제들'과 '남녀 간의 만남과 이별에 대한 진술들'을 고려했을 때, '이제는못보게도~'는 '이별하기 싫다'라는 화자의 마음을 희극적으로 표현한 노래였다. 화자는 임을 그리워하다가 죽은 자신의 모습을 아이를 통해 임에게 전하고 싶어 한다. 자신의 죽어가는 과정을 희극적 요소에 기대 진술하고 있는데, 이를 통해 임은 웃으며 떠날 수 있고 화자는 웃으며 보낼 수 있었을 것이다. '개야미불개야미~'는 '황당한 소문을 임이 믿지 않기를 바란다'는 화자의 마음을 불구상태의 불개미를 통해 나타내고 있다. 그러한 상태에 있는 불개미가 광릉의 고개를 넘어 가람[칡범]의 허리를 물고 북해를 건너갔다는 소문은 희극적 요소를 더욱 배가시키는 역할을 했다.

1. Objectives The present study purposed to examine the contents and the principles of music therapy according to Oriental medicine theories in order to prove that music therapy is not a new research area but its principle is found in the long tradition of Oriental medicine. 2. Methods We investigate the possibility of music therapy based on Oriental medicine theories and examine the meanings of music therapy from the viewpoint of Oriental medicine. 3. Conclusions and discussions (1) The principles of music therapy are the principle of homogeneity, catharsis and balance. (2) When one’s mind changes, there are naturally occurred sounds, which are called Oseong (五聲: the oriental five voices exhalation, laughing, singing, wailing and groaning), and the notes defined by arranging the Oseong according to the principle of Ohaeng (五行: the oriental five phases wood, fire, earth, metal, water) are Oheum (五音: the oriental five musical notes Gakeum, Chieum, Gungeum, Sangeum and Wooeum.). If Eum (musical notes) is classified into Ohaeng, it can be divided into Gakeum, Chieum, Gungeum, Sangeum and Wooeum. (3) Change of Sinji (神志: consciousness) induces change of Gigi (氣機: function of Gi), which can change the character of voices. Oseong controls the functions of Ojang (五臟: the oriental five viscera) by ruling one’s Jeongji (情志: emotion). It can reduce the damage of the viscera caused by excessive vent of emotion resulted from unconscious expression of Oseong - Hoseong (呼聲: exhalation), Soseong (笑聲: laughing), Gaseong (歌聲: singing), Gokseong (哭聲: wailing) and Sinseong (呻聲: groaning). (4) Yijeongseungjeong (以情勝情: Control emotion with emotion) therapies, which suppresses an emotion by stimulating another, include Noseungsabeop (怒勝思法: Control anxiety with anger), Heeseungbibeop (喜勝悲法: Control sorrow with joyfulness), (思勝恐法: Control fear with anxiety), Biseungnobeop (悲勝愁法: Control anger with sorrow) and Gongseungheebeop (恐勝喜法: Control joyfulness with fear). (5) Seongeum (聲音: voices and musical notes) can be applied to a stimulation method that not only harmonizes the rhythm of living organs but also controls the occurrence of diseases caused by mutual Pyeonseongpyeonsoi (偏盛偏衰: relative preponderance and weakness) through direct induction of the strength and weakness of Gi function of the oriental five viscera in a human body according to the individual character. Sounds preferred by the patient, the material of an instrument selected by the patient, the character of rhythm and music expressed by the patient and the sound or voice uttered frequently by the patient can be considered in diagnosis and treatments for the patient’s body and mind.
