The purpose of this study is to examine the health of beauty salon workers through the utilization of questionnaires concerning the extent of exposure to organic solvents found in the air of some beauty salons and any resultant symptoms in employees. The subjects were 36 employees from 10 beauty salons who agreed to participate in this study. The degree of exposure to organic solvents in the air of beauty salons was measured from September 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008. A survey of symptoms that occurred due to exposure to these solvents was also performed. The results were as follows: questionnaires were collected and analyzed from a total of 36 subjects. Of these, 28(77.8%) were female and 8(22.2%) were male. The mean age was 29.08. The mean working period was 7.13 years. Sixteen subjects attended programs at universities while 11 went to beauty schools for vocational education. When testing the concentration of organic solvents in the air of beauty salons, the highest value found was Isopropyl alcohol 511.85 ppb followed by butyl acetate, toluene, acetone, xylene, ethyl benzene, styrene, and chlorobenzene. A logistic regression analysis was performed as follows: the point of each factor was the dependent variable while sex, age, drinking, smoking, educational level, work experience, hairdresser’s license, and organic solvents were the independent variables. Statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was shown in the hairdresser’s license among Factor 1 and in Xylene among Factor 2; however, difference was not shown in the other variables.

The endophytic bacteria were isolated from the rusty-root ginseng. This isolated bacteria were occurred the rusty-root ginseng with artificial inoculation. For the suppressing of rusty-ginseng, disinfectants, antibiotics, kitosan, micro-organisms and metabolites were tested to isolated endophytic bacterium. All of the isolated bacteria strains were sensitive sodium hypochlorite, however, some of isolated bacteria lines were sensitive to other tested materials. For example, D (didecyl dimethyl ammonium bromide), CIO2, ODDA (octyldecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride + diocyul dimethyl ammonium chloride + alkyl diethyl benzyl ammonium chloride), GD (glutaraldehyde + dimethy cocobenzyl ammonium chloride) suppressed some of bacteria strains. Otherwise, some of antibiotics (e.g. ampicillin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, kanamycin, neomycin, rifampin, streptomycin, tetracycline) were sensitive to the isolated bacteria strains. All of isolated bacteria strainswere inhibitive to the mixed formation with neomycin and streptomycin, and neomycin and tetracycline. Both sodium hypochlorite and antibiotic mixing of neomycin and tetracycline were effective to prevention of rusty-root ginseng of sub-merging ginseng in the ginseng field.

This study made them choose their favorite color whenever executing each program, and investigated their preference of flower color. In result of SCL-90-R on the Oriental arrangement, they showed their mental symptom to be worsen after the execution than before the execution of the program, but there wasn't any significant difference. However in the case of the Western flower arrangement their mental symptom appeared to be improved. In result of Self-Esteem Scale, it appeared to be higher in all of the Oriental and Western flower arrangement after the execution than before the execution of horticultural therapy program, but there wasn't ant significant difference. On the horticultural therapy evaluation table, they showed a significant development(p=0.05) in emotional improvement and social improvement by all the Oriental and Western flower arrangement , Especially the improvement of the Western flower arrangement appeared to be higher in emotional improvement such as activity, integration control, independence, and solitary than the Oriental flower arrangement (p=0.01). The improvement of the Western flower arrangement appeared to be higher also in social improvement such as sociality, cooperativeness, and participation than the Oriental flower arrangement (p=0.01). In result of investigating their preference of flower color, they appeared to prefer the generally bright and clear colors in the order of red, dark pastel , yellow, white, violet, and light pastel through the Oriental and Western flower arrangement, In the above result of consideration, the Oriental and Western flower arrangement had the effect to restoration of emotion and sociality of schizophrenics, but the Western flower arrangement on is considered to be more desirable as flower arrangement for schizophrenics than the Oriental flower arrangement.
