Low level laser therapy (LLLT) has facilitated an improvement in acupuncture treatment. In this study, we stimulated Shaochong (HT9), Dadun (LR1), Shaohai (HT3), and Yingu (KI10) acupoints with pulsed laser diodes 532 nm [green laser] and 658 nm [red laser] in rats with induced middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO). The animals were divided into 6 groups: intact control; MCAO control without LLLT; LLLT with red laser at HT9·LR1 and HT3·KI10 (RR); LLLT with green laser at HT9·LR1 and HT3·KI10 (GG); LLLT with green laser at HT9·LR1 and red laser at HT3·KI10 (GR); and LLLT with red laser at HT9·LR1 and green laser at HT3·KI10 (RG). We evaluated the immunohistochemical changes in the hippocampal CA1 region, and complete blood count changes. Compared to the MCAO control group, the RG group showed a significant decrease in Bax and cytochrome c levels in the hippocampus, and a significant increase in hemoglobin level, hematocrit, total white blood cell, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, and erythrocyte counts.

To know that how be effected muscle injury by moxibustion treatment, we have measured the changes in concentration of electrolytes(K^+, Na^+, Cl^-), activity of LDH and CPK from blood serum after complete compression with rubber tourniquet around the femoral area of rabbit. And we also examined effects of moxibustion applied to a meridian point Jog Sam Ri(S 36), Kan Soo(B18) on changes of concentration of electrolytes (K^+, Na^+, Cl^-), activity of LDH and CPK from blood serum at 30, 60, 90 minutes and 18 hours after release of tourniquet. The results obtained from this study were as follows; 1. Among the concentration of electrolytes, that of K^+ in B 18 group at all times for blood serum has shown a significant increase than in control group, that of Cl^- in S 36 and B 18 group at 18 hours for blood serum has shown a significant decrease than in control group. 2. The activity of LDH in B 18 group for blood serum has shown a significant decrease compared with control group, but in s 36 group has not shown a significant decrease compared with control group. 3. The activity of CPK in B 18 group for blood serum has shown a significant decrease compared with control group, but in S 36 group has shown a increase compared with control group. According to the above results, we have identified that moxibustion can recover muscle injury, and have considered that better effect upon in B18 than in S 36.

Background: Some differences have been reported in the biotransformation of ginsenosides, probably due to the types of materials used such as ginseng, enzymes, and microorganisms. Moreover, most microorganisms used for transforming ginsenosides do not meet food-grade standards. We investigated the statistical conversion rate of major ginsenosides in ginsenosides model culture during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to estimate possible pathways. Methods: Ginsenosides standard mix was used as a model culture to facilitate clear identification of the metabolic changes. Changes in eight ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1, and Rg2) during fermentation with six strains of LAB were investigated. Results: In most cases, the residual ginsenoside level decreased by 5.9-36.8% compared with the initial ginsenoside level. Ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Re continuously decreased during fermentation. By contrast, Rd was maintained or slightly increased after 1 d of fermentation. Rg1 and Rg2 reached their lowest values after 1-2 d of fermentation, and then began to increase gradually. The conversion of Rd, Rg1, and Rg2 into smaller deglycosylated forms was more rapid than that of Rd from Rb1, Rb2, and Rc, as well as that of Rg1 and Rg2 from Re during the first 2 d of fermentation with LAB. Conclusion: Ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Re continuously decreased, whereas ginsenosides Rd, Rg1, and Rg2 increased after 1-2 d of fermentation. This study may provide new insights into the metabolism of ginsenosides and can clarify the metabolic changes in ginsenosides biotransformed by LAB.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of various electroacupuncture duration induced by acupuncture point-Zusanli(S36) electrical stimulation on inhibition of amplitude of digastric electromyogram (dEMG)evoked by noxious electrical stimuli around the mental foramen. <Experiments were conducted on adult rats (SD) were anesthetizde with> intraperitoneal sodium pentobarbital in an initial dose of 50mg/kg and maintenance doses of 4.5mg/kg/h were given through a cannula in the femoral vein using a constant infusion pump. A pair of stimulating electrodes were inserted for noxious stimuli around the mental foramen. An irritant electronic stimuli pulse (0.2 Hz,0.1 ms duration) was produced with an intensity of about 1.5-2 times threshold for evoking the dEMG. The anterior belly of the digastric muscle was exposed and a pair of 0.1mm wire electrodes were inserted for dEMG recording. Acupuncture point stimulation on Zusanli (2 Hz, 250㎲, biphasic pulse. 2 V) was delivered by Dental Electronic Anesthesia (3M,U.S.A). For periods of electronic stimulation of 10, 20, and 30min, the amplitudes of dEMG were measured on the oscilloscope and on the monitor connected to the amplifier. The following results were obtained: The dEMG was decreased to 73.4% of that in the control set after 10 min electroacupunture stimulation (Group Ⅰ): The dEMG was decreased to 77.1%(10min), 54.0% (20min)of that in the control set after 20minutes of electroacurunture stimulation (Group Ⅱ). The dEMG was decreased to 73.7% (10min), 61.9%(20min), 76.2%(30min) of that in the control set after 30 min of electroacupunture stimulation (Group Ⅲ). From these results, it may be that in the electroacupuncture stimulation on the Zusnali resulted in a reduction of amplitude of daEMG and that the most effective electroacupuncutre stimulation period was 20min.

Background and Purposes: Over the past three decades, numerous studies performed in Korea have reported that job stress is a determinant risk factor for chronic diseases and work disability. Every society has its own culture and occupational climate particular to their organizations, and hence experiences different occupational stress. An occupational stress measurement tool therefore needs to be developed to estimate it objectively. The purpose of this study is to develop and standardize the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) which is considered to be unique and specific occupational stressors in Korean employees. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained from the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress (NSDSOS Project: 2002-2004). A total of 12,631 employees from a nationwide sample proportional to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification and the Korean Standard Occupational Classification were administered. The KOSS was developed for 2 years (2002-2004). In the first year, we collected 255 items from the most popular job stress measurement tools such as JCQ, ERI, NIOSH and OSI, and 44 items derived from the a qualitative study (depth interview). Forty-three items of KOSS, in the second year, were retained for use in the final version of the KOSS by using Delphi and factor analysis. Items were scored using conventional 1-2-3-4 Likert scores for the response categories. Results: We developed eight subscales by using factor analysis and validation process: physical environment (3 items), job demand (8 items), insufficient job control (5 items), interpersonal conflict (4 items), job insecurity (6 items), organizational system (7 items), lack of reward (6 items), and occupational climate (4 items). Together they explained 50.0% of total variance. Internal consistency alpha scores were ranged from 0.51 to 0.82. Twenty-four items of the short form of the KOSS (KOSS-SF) were also developed to estimate job stress in the work setting. Because the levels of the subscales of occupational stress were gender dependent, gender-specific standard norms for both the 43-item full version and the 24-item short form using a quartile for the subscales of KOSS were presented. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that KOSS might be an appropriate measurement scale to estimate occupational stress of Korean employees. Further and more detailed study needs to be conducted to improve the validity of this scale.

The effect of inhibition on N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) formation by methanol extracts from 6 kinds of citrus seed (Citrus sunki, Citrus natsudaidai, Citrus suleata, Citrus tangerina, Citrus grandis and Citrus obovoidea) were investigated. The contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, ash, flavonoid and totat phenol in citrus seeds were 4~6, l1~15, 32~46, 22~45, 2~4%, 12~24mg% and 53~133㎎%, respectively. The solid contents and yield of citrus seed extracts were 0.8~1.0 and 0.7~1.1%, respectively. Nitrite-scavenging activity by methanol extracts from citrus seeds increased with increasing extract dosage. Furthermore, the nitrite scavenging activity was pH dependent being the highest at pH 1.2 (42.7~96.9%) and the lowest at pH 6.0 (19.9~62.6%). Scavenging effects of nitrite by reaction time showed high effects under 3hr reaction time. The inhibition effect of NDMA formation by the citrus seed was strengthened as the amount of extract increased. The inhibition rate of methanol extracts from citrus seeds on NDMA formation showed 1.2~39.8%, 21.3~60.1% and 47.4~94.0%, according to add 1, 3 and 5㎖, respectively. Therefore, the inhibition effect of NDMA formation by the citrus seed was strengthened as the concentration of extract increased.

The superoxide anion radical(O₂ ­) poses a threat to macromocules and cell organelles of the living cells. This toxicity damage to all groups of proteins results in loss of enzyme function concerned with metabolism and ion transport, and peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol results in a change of permeability characteristics of the membrane, and oxidative of nucleic acids results in genomic damage and thereby cause mutation, potential carcinogenesis and somatic damage that produce cellular aging. Superoxide dismutase(SOD) has received substantial attention as a potential therapeutic agent. It has been investigated as a possible agent for the prevention of oncogenesis, the reduction of cytotoxic effect of anticancer drugs, and protection against damage in ischemic tissue. It is suggest that O₂ ­ is concerned with cellular aging, thereafter we need to investigate herb that activated to SOD.

자외선 B를 사람의 두피에서 채취한 모발에 6시간, 12시간, 24시간. 48시간 동안 각각 조사한 후 모발의 미세구조적인 변화 과정과 모발 단백질의 분해에 의한 원소 성분의 함량 변화를 전자현미경 및 에너지분산분광분석기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 자외선에 6시간 조사된 모발에서 모발 표면은 중첩된 큐티클층이 분리되어 있거나 부러져있는 상태로 나타났다. 큐티클세포의 내큐티클에는 직경이 30nm에서부터 700nm크기의 공포를 형성하고 있었다. 자외선에 12시간 조사된 모발에서 피질은 치밀하게 배열되어 있는 각화세포의 세포막이 파괴되어 공포가 형성되었는데 공포는 세포막을 따가서 일렬로 배열되어 있었다. 또한, 멜라닌 과립과 접촉하고 있는 거대원섬유에서 공포가 형성되어 멜라닌 과립과 분리되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 시기에도 멜라닌 과립의 모양이나 크기의 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 자외선에 24시간 조사된 모발에서 큐티클세포들은 절단된 상태로 관찰되었고 세포질의 내큐티클에 형성된 공포들은 인접해 형성된 공포들과 융합되었다. 자외선에 48시간 조사된 모발은 표면이 거칠게 나타났고, 큐티클의 안쪽 층에 있는 세포에서부터 형성된 공로로 인해 위쪽에 있는 큐티클 세포는 들뜨면서 조각나 떨어져 나갔다. 자외선 조사를 받아 손상된 모발의 원소성분을 에너지 분산 분광분석기로 분석한 결과 정상모발 보다 산소성분의 함량이 높게 나타났으나 황의 성분은 감소되었다. The physicochemical properties of damaged hair by irradiation of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) have been investigated by using transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. The range of irradiation of hair irradiated for expectative 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours with stimulated ultraviolet ray. The treated hairs showed characteristic morphological damage pattern in the cornified cell of matrix and the cuticle following time past. The various sized vacuoles in the endocuticle of the cuticular cells was formed. The statistically significant differences in diameter of cuticular cell were observed in terms of tranverse swelling by formation of vacuoles. The hair cortex and matrix undergo long term exposure to UV-B radiation. The macrofibrils of cortex appeared to be affected most by UV-B, although the morphology and volume of melanin granule was not changed. The physicochemical destruction of hair matrix and cuticular cells is largely accelerated by long term irradiation of UV-B.
