In order to investigate hygienic practice rates among skin care specialist beauticians participating in the skin care service industry, we carried out a total of 231 surveys consisting of 15 questions which investigated personal hygiene, instrument sterilization, and environmental hygiene. These surveys were conducted between January 31 and February 15, 2013. They were based on age, educational background, financial circumstances and job position. The results did not show any significant differences regarding hygienic practices between age groups or education levels, but there were differences between financial circumstances and job position (F=2.219, p 0.05, F= 1.932, p 0.05). There were also significant differences between personal hygiene within the same age groups (F=2.722, p -.05). The total difference in personal hygiene as an influence of age was shown to be 2.2%. There were significant differences regarding personal hygiene and environmental hygiene according to financial circumstances (F=2.946, p 0.05, F=3.506, p 0.01). The total difference in personal hygiene as an influence of financial circumstances was 3.3%, while the total difference in environmental hygiene as an influence of financial circumstances was 4.2%. Therefore, personal hygiene was shown to be influenced by age and financial circumstances, while environmental hygiene was shown to be influenced by financial circumstances, and especially by job position. Education levels had no influence on hygiene. We believe this shows that hygiene is being applied in the skin care industry as training in hygiene is provided in the early stages of training.; however, it would seem that additional training is lacking. There is a need for improved professional responsibility among skin care specialist beauticians via more thorough training in hygienic practices.

The purpose of this study was investigate effects of medicinal herb complex (MCH) on the blood and organs in scopolamine induced brain deficits rats (1 mg/kg, i,p.) for 7 weeks. The experimental groups were divided into three groups : saline (1.0 mL/kg, NC: negative control), scopolamine (1 mg/kg, PC: positive control) and MCH (300 mg/kg, MCH). In the blood lipid parameters (LDL, HDL, T-ChoL and TG), there was no significantly difference among groups. In the damage index levels of kidney and live (ALT, AST, and BUN), the ALT and ALT levels of MCH was significantly lower than those of NC and PC group. In the relative weight of organs (testis, spleen, liver, adrenal gland, kidney, thymus, heart, lung and brain), only brain weight of NC, PC and MCH group were 0.51%, 0.49% and 0.51%, respectively. In hippocampus CA3 and dentate gyrus (DG) of MCH group, injuried nissl body by scopolamine was recovered compared with that of PC group.

The purpose of this study is to implement proper nutrition education and exercise proper dietary life so that students could enjoy a sound life. This study used the ABO blood type to determine content, proper intake of protein, dietary fiber content, calcium, minerals, level of caffeine intake, and whether water intake is sufficient for the purpose of finding out the relationship between singular points by blood type and dietary life and application thereof to individual dietary life. The answers showed meaningful difference on questionnaires on whether green vegetables such as spinach, carrots are absorbed every day, whether one kind of meat, fish, egg, bean is absorbed every day, and whether seaweeds such as sea mustard, laver, kelp are absorbed. The answers to the preference questionnaire (a-la carte) showed meaningful difference between what flakes noodle and rice-cake soup. This study provides basic information on various life style illnesses such as high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, cardiovascular illness, cancer etc.,that would be required if nutrition education is provided on blood types and dietary life. Dietary life education by blood type in the nutrition program will properly maintain health for youth who are under growth, and is regarded as a much effective nutrition improvement as future foods will be individually custom designed.

The effect of Stone Therapy on female abdominal obesity, findings have been drawn from a total of 20 tests on a group of ten 20~60 year old women who have experimented with abdominal by manual management and Stone Therapy. The test subjects were divided into those only receiving manual management, and those receiving both Stone Therapy and manual management. Through them, we investigated changes in the abdominal circumference, changes in digestive activity and other bowel activity, and through questionnaires we analyzed the satisfaction rate of before and after body change, and the method of management. The questionnaire was divided into 5 questions. The purpose of the test is to help women who have lost not only emotional confidence but also physical confidence because of abdominal obesity and its physical changes, regain their female self-worth. Although the conclusions of the test show personal variations in abdominal circumference changes, a majority number of 6 test subjects showed size changes, and through the results of the questionnaires where 85 percent of the test subjects showed the need for periodic Stone Therapy, we can concluded the test allowed the subjects to recognize the necessity of body management.

In this study, feasibility of Julpul as tea has been tested by studying antioxidative activities and α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. In efforts to create a Julpul beverage based on the test results, Julpul was brewed at different heating times (15, 30, 45, 60 minutes) with fixed temperatures at 100℃, and by setting green tea as control group, antioxidative levels, pH levels, color, and sensory evaluations of each brew were compared. In studying antioxidation activity on Julpul extracts in various solvents, DPPH radical scavenging measurement resulted in 48.15% from 70% EtOH extraction sample, which was significantly higher than 41.18% from heat extract sample. In the case of ABTS radical scavenging method, the result was 17.46% from 70% EtOH extraction sample, which was slightly higher than 16.17% from heat extraction sample. On the other hand, test results of α-glucosidase inhibitory activities showed 41.97% in acarbose (control group), 50.90% in 70% EtOH extract sample, and 56.15% in heat extract sample. Julpul tea brewed for 60 minutes had the most antioxidative levels, while Julpul tea brewed for 30 minutes was the most promising as functional beverage as it demonstrated superb sensory evaluation results, The test results confirm that Julpul derived beverages have the potential to be utilized as functioning food that can help alleviate diabetes.

The primary objective of research to develop a functional material compared to the antioxidant activity of the peanut sprout according to the UV irradiation study. During cultivation for 7 days at a dark room, UV irradiation treatment group (UT) is grown, and under irradiation of ultraviolet rays from day 3 to day 7 has been cultivated only in a dark room to 7 result UV untreated group (NT) is the NT than UT was slightly shorter, and appears much paler in color and look like spots. This is because stress is considered by the UV irradiation. UT peanut sprout height longer than the many fine roots, dark color contrast NT is grown only in a darkroom. UT was higher than the total phenolic content of UV treated (UT) peanut sprout extract, total phenolic compounds of leaf extracts UT 1.81 mg/mL, the root extract 1.58 mg/mL, 1.52 mg extract stem was determined. A comparison of the total flavonoid content of the peanuts sprout result, the results of the total phenolic compound similarly the case of the total flavonoid UV treatment group in each region is high, the measurement contents. Compared according to the presence or absence of UV treatment DPPH radical scavenging activity of peanut sprout, both higher than those measured in the NT UT. 87.43%, 55.27% root extract, leaf extract was compared to NT stem extract of UT is 51.38% as measured by significantly higher, especially in the leaf extract showed DPPH radical scavenging effect of increasing UV treatment at least about 1.59 times . Appeared to NT 59.23%, UT 65.91 leaf extract, root extract was NT 62.40%, to NT 59.40% stem extract, UT 65.77%, UT 68.55% of the ABTS radical scavenging activity of peanut bud. Therefore, non-UV irradiation was higher than ABTS radical scavenging activity of UV irradiation.

The principal object of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of mungbeanmook prepared with different 5 levels (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12%) of Gugija (Lycii folium) leaf tea for aged people. We conducted the Hunter's color values, the mechanical characteristics and a sensory evaluation analysis of mungbeanmook prepared with Gugija leaf tea. The more Gugija leaf tea concentration was increased, the luminance and Hunter's a value were decreased, but in Hunter's b value was reverse. In taste, color, flavor, texture, and overall quality, the score of 6% sample was significantly higher than those of others. With regard to the mechanical properties of the mungbeanmook samples, the more Gugija leaf tea concentration was increased, the score of hardness, chewiness, gumminess were significantly decreased but not significantly different in springness and cohesiveness.
