목적: 연구에서는 HMD VR 사용 시 눈에 발생하는 건조증 변화를 파악하기 위해 눈 내부의 온도와 습도의 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 방법 : 연구 대상자는 신체 건강한 체육계열 대학생으로 선정하였고 안구건조증의 영향이 있거나 안질환 병력, 수술자와 양안시기능 이상자는 제외하여 최종 연구 대상자는 49명으로 선정되었다. 체육계열 대학생의 HMD 내부 온도, 습도, 체감온도의 변화를 50분간 관찰하였고 VR 사용 전후로 맥모니 테스트(McMonnies test)를 실시하 였다. 결과 : HMD 내부의 온도는 지속적으로 증가하였고, 40분 이후에는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 습도는 사용 직후 급격히 증가한 후 감소하였으며, 25분 이후에는 초기 베이스라인과 비교하여 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 지속적인 체 감온도 상승은 안구건조증 증상뿐만 아니라 시각적 불편감을 줄 수 있다. 결론 : HMD 방식의 VR 기기의 설계는 안구내 습도환경과 열적 불쾌감을 고려하여 사용자의 편안함과 장기적 인 눈 건강을 보장하기 위한 지속적인 연구와 실험적 검증이 제시되어야 한다.

A surveillance of chigger mites was conducted to clarify the incidence of scrub typhus vectors by new chigger mite collecting traps instead of trapping wild rodents for surveillance from each 4 collection points of 5 regions from September to November 2012 in Korea. During the surveillance period, 2,829 chiggers were collected and 10 species of 4 genera were identified. The first appearance of chigger mite and patients was 39 week (9.19~9.25) and the density of chigger mites had the peak in 43 week (10.17~10.23) and the density of patients had the peak in 44 week (10.24~10.30), respectively. In Goryeong-gun, a total of 1,797 mites representing 4 genera and 6 species were collected and the predominant species were Leptotrombidium scutellare (86.0%), L. pallidum (6.5%) and L. palpale (4.7%) whereas, In Gurye-gun, a total of 89 mites representing 2 genera and 3 species were collected and the predominant species were L. scutellare (46.5%) and L. palpale (36.2%) in similar to the natural environment. The high collecting rates were recorded at rice field (71.8%) and waterway (11.6%). This result shows that the surveillance of scrub typhus vectors by new chigger mite collecting trap is useful as an eco-friendly method.

Backgoound : This study was conducted to evaluate the quality variation of Ixeris dentata on the antioxidant contents and antioxidant activities according to the different producing area. Methods and Results : The samples were extracted with 70 % EtOH and then analyzed for total flavonoid contents, polypenol contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, and ABTS radical scavenging activity. Luteinol 7-O-β-D-glucoside, an index component of the Ixeris dentata, was analyzed by HPLC. The leafs of Ixeris dentata in Jinan had the highest concentration of polyphenols (23.91 ㎎/g), followed by Jinbu (22.63 ㎎/g) and Eumseong (21.36 ㎎/g). Flavonoid content was highest in Jinan (15.27 ㎎/g), but there was no significant difference between Jinbu (14.05 ㎎/g) and Eumseong (13.99 ㎎/g). The contents of luteinol 7-O-β-D-glucoside were confirmed in Jinan (0.68%), Jinbu (0.49%) and Eumseong (0.36%), respectively. Conclusion : The comparison of antioxidant contents and antioxidant activities of Ixeris dentata according to the different producing area, Jinan was had the highest concentration, followed by Jinbu and Eumseong. Our results showed that the content of luteoline-7-D-glucoside varied among the different producing area.
