To clarify the physiological thermoregulatory response of the human body, the local heating and hunting reaction experiments were performaed. The subjects were 10 healthy women from 19 to 22 years of age. For the local heating experiment, oral temperature, skin temperature, deep skin temperature and thermal sensations were measured every 5 min during the 40 min experiment. Heated areas were neck, shoulder, abdomen, hands and feet. These five areas were heated with the hot pack of 50℃. For the hunting reaction experiment, oral temperature, thermal sensation of the whole body and cold pain sensation of the finger were measured every 5 min during and after immersion of the left middle finger in 5℃ ice water for 40 min. The skin temperature of the finger tip was measured with a copperconstantan thermocouple every each min during and after immersion. Cold tolerance index was made on the basis of following items ; the skin temperature at the first rise(T.F.R), time for the first skin temperature rise (T.T.R), mean skin temperature during immersion(M.S.t). Conclusions : 1. Skin temperature and deep skin temperature have been much influenced by the abdomen heating. 2. The correlation between the whole body thermal sensation and the upper trunk thermal sensation was singnificantly recognized. 3. T.F.R. and M.S.T. of the hunting reaction with abdomen heating is significantly higher at the 0.01 level by T-test than that of the hunting reaction without abdomen heating. T.T.R is also significantly shorter for the hunting reaction with abdomen heating than that for the hunting reaction without abdomen heating.

In this study, foot girth, instep girth, instep height, foot arch height, foot length, foot width, heel width and five length items in forepart foot were measured using chiefly the method of measurements with foot projected contours. 38 young women and 5 young men participated in this experiments. Two positions of the foot were taken in account : 1) normal position-when body weight is not supported by right foot 2) weight loading position-when body weight is supported by right foot. The following results were obtained. 1. The change rates of the men subjects show a more increased shapes in foot width and forepart foot length than in the change rates of the women subjects. 2. The changes of foot shape when body weight is supported by one foot, inside part of the foot size was increased with greater surfaces in women while the outside part of the foot size was increased with greater surfaces in men subjects.

As a mean to get a better understanding of the kind of form changes to which is subject the neck of the men in their aging process, replicas of neck surfaces were made on 9 subjects (3 in their twenties, 3 in their forties and 3 in their sixties) using the tape method. Three positions of the neck were taken in account : 1) normal position 2) right turn position 3) bent forward position. Measurements of the developed tape replicas have given us the following results : 1. Shapes of the different developed replicas ; Developed replicas of the elder subject show a more curved shape than the replica of the middle age subject, the younger subject having its neck base line the least curved. 2. Surface Area Changes ; In normal position, the neck replica of the elder group covers a smaller surface (average 163.7cm2) than the corresponding one of the younger group (average 193.5cm3). The bent forward position, increases the back surface of the neck in a percentage ranging from 19% to 26% without any major differences between the 3 age groups. The front neck surface being decreased at the same time we verified that the total surface compared to the normal position, had not increased.

80 cases of Cysticercosis were studied and analysed, which were diagnoses by biopsy at Seoul National University in the past three years from January-1978 to March-1980. The results were summerized as follows. 1. The relative incidence ratio of cysticercosis among 18,941 surgical specimens was 0.42%. 2. The age group between 11 and 50 years old occupied 87.5%. 3. Of the 80 cases, there were 38 males and 42 female patients, without significant sex predominence. 4. The common sites of cysticercosis were upper extremities (35.0%) and anterior surface of the trunk (37.5%) 5. Epidemiologically, there was marked predominence of rural area over urban area. 6. There were 8 cases (10%) of definite cerebral cysticercosis and 4 cases (5%) of suspicious cerebral cysticercosis. 7. In the cases of nodular masses of extremities, the parasitic infection, especiaily cysticercosis celluiosae, must be included in differential diagnosis distinguished from other soft tissue tumors.
