Objectives The quality of life in cancer patients is important. The aim of this study is to report a case which showed symptoms improvement after treatment with modified Galgeunhaegi-tang. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records. The patient’s body weight and the circumference of lower extremity were measured and the subjective symptoms such as chest pain were evaluated by the NRS(Numeric Rating Scale). And the frequency of defecation was checked daily. Results The patient had re

Irreversible peripheral neurodegenerative diseases such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy are becoming increasingly common due to rising rates of diabetes mellitus; however, no effective therapeutic treatments have been developed. One of main causes of irreversible peripheral neurodegenerative diseases is dysfunction in Schwann cells, which are neuroglia unique to the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Because homeostasis of calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) is essential for Schwann cell dynamic

Even in an era where 8-meter class telescopes are common, small telescopes are considered very valuable research facilities since they are available for rapid follow-up or long term monitoring observations. To maximize the usefulness of small telescopes in Korea, we established the SomangNet, a network of 0.4-1.0 m class optical telescopes operated by Korean institutions, in 2020. Here, we give an overview of the project, describing the current participating telescopes, its scientific scope and

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to report the improvement of delirium and performance status in the small-cell lung cancer patient who had multiple brain metastases and pericardial effusion after Sasang constitutional treatment. MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records, medical laboratory and image scans of 71-year-old male patient diagnosed as small-cell lung cancer. ResultsThe small-cell lung cancer with multiple brain metastases patient sometimes talked deliriously even afte

Chamber emission tests were performed to evaluate the contribution of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to ozone formation discharged from organic solvents frequently used in the printing factories, laundry shops, beauty salons, and car-painting garages near residential areas. Analysis of OH loss rate (LOH) and ozone formation potential (OFP) in terms of OH loss rate constant (kOH) and the maximum incremental reactivity (MIR) revealed the possibility of ozone formation. According to the emission

ObjectivesAdverse reactions can becaused by contrast media used in computed tomography. The aim of this study was to report the improvement of allergic response caused by contrast media after treatment with Modified Hyeongbangpaedok-san, histamine antagonists and steroids. MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records. The patient’s subjective symptoms such as rash and pruritus were evaluated by the range of rash and numeric rating scale(NPS). ResultsAll symptoms showed nearly complete

Objectives Despite the treatment with antibiotics, patients with sepsis has a high mortality (80%) in the underlying disease group. The aim of this study was to report the improvement of septic condition of the cholangiocarcinoma patient after the treatment with Handayeolso-tang, Fel Tauri, and antibiotics. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records. The patient’s subjective symptoms such as chilling and abdominal pain were evaluated by NRS and the performance status was evaluated b

In order to alleviate gas odors such as ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from the fertilization process of livestock manure, aqueous chlorine dioxide (ClO2) was added to the absorption solution in a microbubble scrubber. Microbubbles improved the absorption capacity for ammonia and hydrogen sulfide by 104% and 265%, respectively, compared to macrobubbles. Addition of ClO2 particularly increased the absorption of H2S by 530%. The mass transfer coefficient for these gases to aqueous scrubb

This paper analyzed the female image reflected in the character “Jang Huibin,” the most frequently selected main character in the 30-year historic drama, and investigated the changes in makeup. Following is the analysis of makeup changes along with changes in women’s images reflected in the character “Jang Huibin” from 1988 to 2013. The images changed in the order of femme fatale by dichotomy in the authoritarian age, characteristic femme fatale reflecting the fever of Generation X, woman with m

Objectives: Rectal cancer bleeding occurs approximately 20% of overall rectal cancer patients. The current standard treatments cannot cover minor bleeding enough. Failures of the local or systemic approaches to stop bleeding are frequently reported. Methods: we reported a case of male rectal cancer patient who was treated with herbal decoction and significantly improved on symptoms, such as, loose stools and rectal bleeding. Previous to first visiting to our clinic, he was prescribed to use oral

Objectives The purpose of study was to identify cancer related symptoms of Sasang Constitution based on the classic of Sasang Constitutional Medicine (SCM). Methods The bibliographical study was performed with 『Dongyisoosebowon-Shinchukbon(東醫壽世保元 辛丑本)』, Dongyisoosebowon-Sasangchobongwon(東醫壽世保元 四象草本券), 『Cancer』, and several review articles. The perspective on severe illness in SCM was investigated. And ‘the critical state’ of constitutional symptoms based on 『Dongyisoosebowon』 was identified as c

현대사회에서 뉴스는 신화와 같은 역할을 한다고 한다. 신화는 사람들이 세상을 이해하고 체험하는 의미의 틀을 제공하는데, 그 신화를 구성하는 데 미디어 뉴스가 큰 역할을 하기 때문이다. 그런 의미에서 본 연구는 남녀 고위직 경제인들이 신문보도 사진에 어떻게 재현되는지를 내용분석의 양적인 방법과 기호학적인 질적방법을 통해 분석하고자 하였다. 1990년 1월 1일부터 2011년 12월 31일까지 지난 20년간 조선일보에 실린 기획 인터뷰 및 인물중심 기사 가운데 여성 경제리더 사진 전수와 무작위로 뽑은 동일 수의 남성 경제리더 사진을 분석하였다. 분석결과 남성은 대체로 업무현장과 밀접한 배경에서 역동적이고 진지하게 묘사되었고, 인물의 이미지를 강하게 표현하는 바스트샷이 대부분을 구성하였다. 반면 여성들은 업무와 분리된 장식적인 배경 속에서 인위적인 포즈를 취하고 있는 전신사진을 통해 수동적인 객체로 재현되는 남성주의적 시각이 발견되었다. News plays a similar role wi

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that how the varying block sizes determine pedestrian-friendly environment in city planning. For this purpose, in Chapter 2, elements that determine on block size and theories about blocks are reviewed. The Chapter 3 analyzes various cases related with pedestrian-friendly block sizes. In Chapter 4, based on literature review and case studies, research methods are proposed to test the study hypothesis. As criteria for pedestrian-friendly conditi
