The study with the subjects of the female consumers of the fomentation rooms in their 20s, this research made an investigation of the fomentation wear. Also, dye-fastness experiments of the wear's colors against washing and sweating were held. The following are the conclusions; 1. Survey Results of the Present Situations of Fomentation Wear Designs of the fomentation wear, 88% belonged to a T-shirt (upper clothes) and knee pants. The primary colors of the wear were in the order of gray (37.5%), white (31.3%), orange (25%), indigo (18.8%), and yellowish (18.8%). 43% of the wear companies used the same color for two-piece clothes, and 57% employed different colors for upper and lower clothes. 2. Consumers' Attitude about Fomentation Wear The key problem in the attitude to the wear, 25.9% pointed out the worries about physical exposure (like breasts and legs) owing to the improperness in designs and sizes. 32.8% of the subjects were also worried about physical silhouette exposure following sweating. The need for design improvement was felt as the subjects expressed their intention to use better fomentation wear in design and materials if the fare is higher. 3. Experimental Results of the Dye fastness of the Fomentation Wear Dye-fastness experiments by sweating appeared in the order of gray > white > pink. The results by washing were gray & white > pink. As laundry grew in number, the grade of dye fastness fell a little bit. In the fomentation environment with more laundry and more perspiration, dye fastness of the wear's colors against washing and sweating should be fully considered.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to see whether pain in cancer patients is decreased by Eriobotryae Folium Fomentation. Methods: We examined the change in pain among six cancer patients, prescribing Eriobotryae Folium Fomentation. As for evaluating methods, we used the case history of pain, the direct evaluation of pain, the indirect evaluation of pain. The direct evaluation of pain is subdivided by the language expression, the non-language expression, and Visual analog scale(VAS). The indirect evaluation of pain is subdivided by the condition of walking, mood and the condition of sleep. Results: After two weeks, any remarkable pain decrease is not observed in both of the direct evaluation and indirect evaluation.

"濟衆立效方" is the oldest Koryo dynasty medical document known to date. Despite its historical importance, due to the absence of its original copy, its true characters could not be understood. Through comparison of the many documents that cited 濟衆立效方, it could be found that 濟衆立效方 can be classified into two parts based on its contents and form. In Chinese medical texts, neither the name 交效散 nor any similar prescription is mentioned. 濟衆立效方 was the first in suggesting the usage of pine needles and salt for fomentation and not for internal use. Thus 交效散 can be thought of as the oldest indigenous prescription preserved in Korean history. 濟衆立效方 conveys records of the combination of the ancient origin pine needle fomentation and the creative addition of salt.

Objectives: This study is aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of moist heat fomentation therapy with ultrasound therapy in patients with the masticatory myalgia. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 42 patients with masticatory myalgia, dividing them into two groups; Group A (21 patients), received moist heat therapy and Group B (21 patients), received ultrasound therapy for seven effective days. Prior and after the treatment the numeric rating scale (NRS) and the electromyography (EMG) scores were recorded and compared. The observations were analyzed clinically and statistical support was taken to assess the NRS and EMG data. Results: Irrespective of the groups, patients testified a significant reduction in pain after the treatment. From the EMG readings; even though the standard deviation for each group was varied considerably, EMG recorded an improved muscle activity. Statistical analysis was used to assess and identify the best treatment methodology between the two modalities. Conclusion: From the statistical analysis, it is concluded that, though both the therapies had significantly reduced the symptomatic response, it is moist heat fomentation that improved muscle activity both statistically and clinically in comparison to ultrasound.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to identify the latest research trends regarding the nonsurgical treatment of rib fractures and suggest the direction for future research. Methods We searched for papers published from January 1, 2015 to July 1, 2022 in PubMed and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) based on keywords 'rib fracture'. 'Korean medicine', 'oriental medicine', 'TCM', 'moxibustion', 'acupunture', 'cupping', 'electroacupuncture', 'pharmacopuncture', 'fire needling'. Results A total of 79 studies were searched at first research. Then the studies were screening according to criteria and Finally 20 studies were selected. The oriental medical interventions analyzed in this study were fumigation method, herbal medicine, external application, acupuncture, ointment, herb fomentation, Tending Diancibo Pu far-infrared therapy. Conclusions Various oriental medical interventions such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, fumigation, herb fomentation, ointment, and physical therapy are being studied abroad for the treatment of rib fractures. It is considered that additional research related to the nonsurgical treatment for rib fractures is needed in the future in korea.

발목 염좌가 발생 시 초기에 응급처지와 고정치료를 하는 것이 매우 중요하며, 재활 및 회복 과정에서 발목을 지지해주는 역할과 냉찜질과 온찜질을 제어해주는 보호대를 사용하는 것이 효과적이다. 이에 인체공학적으로 환자 발목에 맞는 보호대를 제작하여 발목을 제대로 압박해주어 재부상을 방지해줄 것이며, 보호대 자체에서 운동제어를 해줄 수 있게 설계하여 환자의 발목 온도에 따라 자동으로 온도 조절을 통하여 회복을 도모하며, AT분야와 접목시켜 압박센서와 온도센서를 이용하여 환자들이 손상 이전 상태로 회복할 수 있는 인체공학적 발목보호 시스템을 설계하려 한다.

The condition contrary to the physiological conditions obtained by the normal functioning of seven constituents of the body is defined as disease. The primary causes of the disease are emotional defilements of desire, hatred and delusion. The secondary causes of diseases are seasonal climatic changes, the agency of harmful demons, and improper diet or conduct. Once a disease occurs, it brings the disfunctioning of the three humors of wind, bile, and phlegm. Therefore all the disease should be examined and determined which of theses three humors effect its nature the most. There are five main techniques of external therapy, namely bloodletting, which extract the impure blood produced by disease of heat; moxibustion, which debilitates cold diseases, medicinal compresses, fomentation, massage with ointment, and minor surgery. Among these, the former three are the mild treatment and the latter three the severe ones because of the pain the patient has to suffer during the whole procedure.

Considering fermented sardine with $20\%$ salt as a reference, the fermented sardines were prepared with 8 or $10\%$ salt, $0.5\%$ lactic acid, $6\%$ sorbitol and $6\%$ ethanol. The taste compounds and TBA value as the index of lipid oxidation were analysed prior to fermentation and after 60 days fermentation in products. The major free amino acids in fermented sardine determined after 60 days fomentation were lysine, leucine, histidine, glutamic acid, arginine and alanine which occupied about $58\%$ of the total free amino acids while histidine and taurine occupied about $93.3\%$ of them in raw meat. Betaine and TMA increased while TMAO and total creatinine decreased filling the fermentation of 60 days. Addition of $0.02\%$ BHA was effective to retard rancidity of the product. The result of omission test showed that the major taste compounds of the fermented sardine with low salt contents were amino acid such as lysine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, leucine and nucleotides and their related compounds, and it is also suggested that betaine, total creatinine and TMAO acted as an auxiliary role.
