This study was carried out to analyze any possible changes in the heart rate variability(HRV) of white-collar workers of a manufacturing firm based in Chollabuk-do Province when they are stressed due to their daily job performance and thereby to help them seek a more effective method of the management of their health and help them form more desirable habits of living by finding out how seriously his or her stresses from his or her job performance affect their quality of life(QOL). As a process of the above-mentioned manufacturer's plan to do an Oriental health examination on its white-collar workers, each of the workers of the firm was given a copy of questionaires. The questionaires carried questions regarding each of the workers' general characteristics, clinical history, health-related lifestyle and the QOL and each of the workers was asked to provide his answers to the questions listed on the questionaire. The examination progressed to measure any possible changes in the HRV of an individual worker. Among all of the questionaires filled out and collected from the workers, a total of 423 data were used as the data of the research except those that had answers which were not appropriate for the purpose of the research. The analysis of each of the workers' health related quality of life(HRQOL) showed that the younger, the lower the standard of education is, each of the subjects was found to tend to show a relatively higher QOL if only he is healthy. With regard to the worker's habits of living, those who exercise on a regular basis and who get a good sleep were also found to have a comparatively higher QOL With reference to the HRV, young workers, those who have spouses, those with a high level of academic background, those with a short work experience were found to tend to have a relatively higher HRV. As regards each worker's habits of living, those who do exercise on a regular basis were found to have a comparatively higher index of HRV. RMSSD was found to have an impact on workers' general health, on the other hand TP was found to have an impact on workers' role of emotion. This result was based on findings through analyzing interrelation between HRV and QOL that stresses have an impact on the QOL. Taking a look at the above results, it was learned that individual worker's efforts to promote his or her health, along with establish desirable habits of living, these two qualities are important methods to improve the quality of life. In addition, control of stresses is necessary to improve the QOL, which is possible through emotional stabilization.

Objective & Methord : The aim of this study is to examine the effects of indirect moxibustion at the PC6(Naegwan) on normal human beings using power spectrum analysis. Electroencephalogram(EEG) power spectrum exhibits site-specific and state-related differences in various frequency bands. 8 channels EEG study was carried out in 10 subjects(3 females and 2 males). Result : Average value of alpha-wave is decreased significantly in moxa treatment group of real acupoint(PC6) comparing 'before' and 'during' , 'before' and 'after' of the experiment. In non-acupoint(near LU5) group, Average value of alpha-wave is decreased significantly comparing 'during' and 'after'. Alpha value of Both group was decreased according to the degree and the difference is rapid in 'during' - 'after' block. Compare the treat of real acupoint with non-acupoint, there was non significant difference. Conclusion: These results suggested that moxa treatment can revitalize normal human and the influence moxa treatment is more powerful then acupoint-nature. For these reason, usage of substitute moxa for acupuncture is not reasonable.

This study aimed at providing fundamental data to take health care plan in the aspect of Oriental medicine by evaluating the lifestyle and yangseng(養生) levels by job-type of industrial workers. General characteristics, lifestyle, and yangseng levels were investigated through self-administration questionnaire in the course of Oriental health examination for 1,190 male workers at a manufacturing company located in the Chungcheongnam-do region, and the following results were obtained. The total mean of yangseng levels was 96.73 and the evaluation mark was 3.12. The highest mark was shown in the morality yasngseng, while the lowest mark in the activity and rest yangseng. In general, the higher were age and income level, the higher were yangseng levels, and yangseng levels were found to be high in non-smokers and those who have regularly exercised. For yangseng levels by job-type, total yangseng levels were found to be high in office workers, engineer workers, and manufacturing workers in order. For detailed categories of job-type including diet yangseng, activity and rest yangseng, sleeping yangseng, seasonal yangseng, and sexual life yasngseng, yangseng levels were generally found to be high in office workers but low in manufacturing workers. In this study, difference in yangseng levels could be found by job-type of industrial workers, and lifestyle and general characteristics were found to influence yangseng levels. Therefore it is deemed that close studies on health care by job-type are required for health promotion and care of industrial workers in the future.

Objetive : The cold feeling disease is feeling a cold at normal temperature in specific part of body and it can be felt by oneself and the others. This disease let the person who has the disease take various inconvinience in daily life but they don't take any specific care and actucally there are not efficient care. In this study we took Tae-gye(KI3) which is one of the nine point that circulating energe to whole body(回陽九針穴) and observe the efficiency conpare with non acupoint Methord : We used infra-red thermometer to measure the temperature of hand and arm. Acupuncture is treated using Park-sharm device for double-blinding test. Temperature of PC8 is compared with LU4 for measure the coldness of hand. Results : Taking the temperature of Before-state, average temperature of PC8 is lower then LU4 at 0.3℃ degree. Right about acupuncturing, temperature of PC8 got lower at 0.238℃ degree comparing LU4 in treatment group and , got higher at 0.5℃ degree in control group, but both of them have no significance(p>0.05) During the acupuncturing, temperature of PC8 got higher at 0.388℃ degree then LU4 in treatment group and got higher at 0.975℃ degree in control group, but both of them have no significance(p>0.05). After remove the acupuncture, temperature of PC8 got lower at 0.013℃ degree then LU4 in treatment group and got higher at 0.713℃ degree in control group, but both of them have no significance(p>0.05). In control group, the differences of change are very intense for each grade and they had large standard deviation. In treatment group the differences are decreased gradually and they had small standard deviation(SD=0.424) compare with control group (SD=0.723) but there are no significant difference. Conclusion : The results suggested that KI3 can decrease the difference of temperature between PC8 and LU4, and reduce the coldness of hand. After this, study with more group is needed to verify the possibility.
