Objectives : This study was planned to prove the correlation between fatigue degree and Yandorak. Methods : The potentiality of skin resistance(Yangdorak) and the questionnaire "Symptom Table on Fatigue Perception" have been tested on 59 cases of outpatients, then the correlation between them was evaluated statistically. Results : Rydoraku Score (RS) was significantly higher at P.M. than at A.M. Fatigue degree was higher in female, at PM than in male, at AM, but not statistically significant. The correlation between fatigue degree and RS showed negative correlation(r=-0.422) at AM, statistically significant. Conclusions : This result suggest that fatigue degree are associated with Rydoraku Score at A.M. but not at P.M.

Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate the influence of obesity on autonomic nervous system activity. Methods : This clinical study have been carried out with premenopausal 59 women that entered Dong-Guk university Bun-Dang oriental medicine hospital from January, 2004 to May, 2005. 59 women were divided into 27 women non-obese group(<BMI 25) and 32 women obese group(≧BMI 25). Results : 1. MHRT, SDNN, RMSSD which obtained by time domain analysis were significantly decreased in obese group. 2.TP, LF, HF, LF/HF ratio which obtained by frequency domain analysis were decreased in obese group, HF was significantly decreased but othres were no significant differences between non-obese group and obese group. Conclusions : These results suggest that both sympathetic and parasympathetic activity were decreased in obese premenopausal women.

Objectives : This study was designed to examine the effects of Noni on anti-inflammatory and antifebrile effects in rats' carrageenan-induced arthritis. Methods and Materials : 1. Each of 10 rats was divided into a normal, control, and sample group for the experiment conducted to test the anti-inflammatory, and the anti-febrile activity. 2. Noni was administered orally to the sample group and normal saline was administered to the normal and the control group. 3. Arthritis was induced by injecting 0.1ml of 1% carrageenan per rat and Noni was administered after 30 minutes, 24 hours and 48 hours from injection. 4. The change of edema in carrageenan-induced arthritic rat's paw was measured after 1 hour, 5 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours from injection of carrageenan with Plethysmometer(7150,UGO BASILE, Italy) by method of Winter. 5.The temperature was measured with Telethermometer after 1 hour, 5 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours from injection of carrageenan on the rat's paw and the rectum. Results : 1.In the sample group, the rate of increase of paw edema was decreased as compared with that of control group but not significant. 2.In the sample group, CRP, LDH and SGOT were effectively controlled compared with those of the control group, and WBC was decreased and SGPT was increased compared with those of the control group but not significant. 3.In the sample group, the temperature after 1 hours on the paw and the rectum was decreased effectively compared with the control group, but the temperature after 5, 24 and 48 hours on the paw and the rectum were not decreased effectively compared with the control group. Conclusions : These results suggest that Noni have a curative effect on anti-inflammatory effect in rats with Carrageenan-induced arthritis, but we have to study deep into antifebrile effect hereafter.
