We prove a norm inequality of the form $\left\$\mid$ \upsilon \right\$\mid$ \leq (r - 1) \left\$\mid$ u \right\$\mid$_p, 1 < p < \infty$, between a non-negative subharmonic function u and a smooth function $\upsilon$ satisfying $$\mid$\upsilon(0)$\mid$ \leq u(0), $\mid$\nabla\upsilon$\mid$ \leq \nabla u$\mid$$ and $\mid$\Delta\upsilon$\mid$ \leq \alpha\Delta u$, where $\alpha$ is a constant with $0 \leq \alpha \leq 1$. This inequality extends Burkholder's inequality where $\alpha = 1$.

Surgical resection of lung cancer or other disease is recently required in patients with severely impaired lung function resulting from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or disease extension. So prediction of pulmonary function after lung resection is very important in thoracic surgeon. We studied the accuracy of the prediction of postoperative pulmonary function using perfusion lung scan with 99m technetium macroaggregated albumin in 22 patients who received the pneumonectomy. The linear regression line derived from correlation between predicting[X and postoperative measured[Y values of FEV1 and FVC in patients are as follows: 1 Y[ml =0.713X + 381 in FEV1 [r=0.719 ,[P<0.01 2 Y[ml =0.645X + 556 in FVC [r=0.675 ,[P<0.01 In conclusion,the perfusion lung scan is noninvasive and very accurate for predicting postpneumonectomy pulmonary function.

As a novel approach for disease control and prevention, nutritional modulation of the intestinal health has been proved. However, It is still unknown whether branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is needed to maintain intestinal immune-related function. The objective of this study was to determine whether BCAA supplementation in protein restricted diet affects growth performance, intestinal barrier function and modulates post-weaning gut disorders. One hundred and eight weaned piglets ($7.96{\pm}0.26kg$) were randomly fed one of the three diets including a control diet (21% crude protein [CP], CON), a protein restricted diet (17% CP, PR) and a BCAA diet (BCAA supplementation in the PR diet) for 14 d. The growth performance, plasma amino acid concentrations, small intestinal morphology and intestinal immunoglobulins were tested. First, average daily gain (ADG) (p<0.05) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) (p<0.05) of weaned pigs in PR group were lower, while gain:feed ratio was lower than the CON group (p<0.05). Compared with PR group, BCAA group improved ADG (p<0.05), ADFI (p<0.05) and feed:gain ratio (p<0.05) of piglets. The growth performance data between CON and BCAA groups was not different (p>0.05). The PR and BCAA treatments had a higher (p<0.05) plasma concentration of methionine and threonine than the CON treatment. The level of some essential and functional amino acids (such as arginine, phenylalanine, histidine, glutamine etc.) in plasma of the PR group was lower (p<0.05) than that of the CON group. Compared with CON group, BCAA supplementation significantly increased BCAA concentrations (p<0.01) and decreased urea concentration (p<0.01) in pig plasma indicating that the efficiency of dietary nitrogen utilization was increased. Compared with CON group, the small intestine of piglets fed PR diet showed villous atrophy, increasing of intra-epithelial lymphocytes (IELs) number (p<0.05) and declining of the immunoglobulin concentration, including jejunal immunoglobulin A (IgA) (p = 0.04), secreted IgA (sIgA) (p = 0.03) and immunoglobulin M (p = 0.08), and ileal IgA (p = 0.01) and immunoglobulin G (p = 0.08). The BCAA supplementation increased villous height in the duodenum (p<0.01), reversed the trend of an increasing IELs number. Notably, BCAA supplementation increased levels of jejunal and ileal immunoglobulin mentioned above. In conclusion, BCAA supplementation to protein restricted diet improved intestinal immune defense function by protecting villous morphology and by increasing levels of intestinal immunoglobulins in weaned piglets. Our finding has the important implication that BCAA may be used to reduce the negative effects of a protein restricted diet on growth performance and intestinal immunity in weaned piglets.

PURPOSE. This pilot study was to find the influence of complete denture on the brain activity and cognitive function of edentulous patients measured through Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study recruited 20 patients aged from 50 to 60 years requiring complete dentures with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The brain function and cognitive function were analyzed with a mental state questionnaire and a 15-minute analysis of power spectral density of EEG alpha waves. The analysis included edentulous phase and post denture insertion adaptive phase, each done before and after chewing. The results obtained were statistically evaluated. RESULTS. Power Spectral Density (PSD) values increased from edentulous phase to post denture insertion adaption phase. The data were grouped as edentulous phase before chewing (EEG p1-0.0064), edentulous phase after chewing (EEG p2-0.0073), post denture insertion adaptive phase before chewing (EEG p3-0.0077), and post denture insertion adaptive phase after chewing (EEG p4-0.0096). The acquired values were statistically analyzed using paired t-test, which showed statistically significant results (P<.05). CONCLUSION. This pilot study showed functional improvement in brain function of edentulous patients with complete dentures rehabilitation.

Consider a graph G of order n and maximum degree ${\Delta}$. Let $f:V(G){\rightarrow}\{0,1,{\cdots},{\lceil}{\frac{{\Delta}}{2}}{\rceil}+1\}$ be a function that labels the vertices of G. Let $B_0=\{v{\in}V(G):f(v)=0\}$. The function f is a strong Roman dominating function for G if every $v{\in}B_0$ has a neighbor w such that $f(w){\geq}1+{\lceil}{\frac{1}{2}}{\mid}N(w){\cap}B_0{\mid}{\rceil}$. In this paper, we study the bounds on strong Roman domination numbers of the Cartesian product $P_m{\square}P_k$ of paths $P_m$ and paths $P_k$. We compute the exact values for the strong Roman domination number of the Cartesian product $P_2{\square}P_k$ and $P_3{\square}P_k$. We also show that the strong Roman domination number of the Cartesian product $P_4{\square}P_k$ is between ${\lceil}{\frac{1}{3}}(8k-{\lfloor}{\frac{k}{8}}{\rfloor}+1){\rceil}$ and ${\lceil}{\frac{8k}{3}}{\rceil}$ for $k{\geq}8$, and that both bounds are sharp bounds.

연구배경 : 결핵에 의해 폐실질의 손상과 혈관 자체의 손상이 발생하고, 폐결핵의 만성 후유증으로 병발하는 이차성 폐기종에 의해 추가적인 폐혈관상의 손상이 초래된다. 그러므로 폐의 관류장애는 원발성 폐기종보다 결핵후 폐기종에서 더 심한 경향을 보인다. 따라서 결핵후 폐기종에서 우심의 기능이 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 추정되나, 이에 대한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 결핵후 폐기종과 원발성 폐기종에서 우심 기능의 차이를 알아보고, 유의한 차이가 있다면 그 의의를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 병력 및 HRCT 결과, 폐기능검사 소견을 종합하여, 결핵후 폐기종 또는 원발성 폐기종을 진단하였다. 1초시 강제호기량과 노력성폐활량이 서로 비슷한 결핵 후 폐기종 환자와 원발성 폐기종 환자 20명을 선정하였다. 이들 환자를 대상으로 안정 시와 증상한계 운동부하 후 동맥혈가스분석과 심초음파검사들 시행하였다. 우심의 기능은 변형된 Simpson씨 법으로 박출계수를 산정하여 평가하였다. 결 과:대상환자들의 임상적 특성이나 폐기능검사 지표 상 두군간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 동맥혈 가스분석 상 결핵후 폐기종군에서 안정 시와 운동 후 모두 이산화탄소압이 높고(안정 시 $42.9{\pm}4.7$ vs $38.8{\pm}3.1\;mmHg$, p<0.05 ; 운동 후 $47.9{\pm}7.0$ vs $41.1{\pm}5.9$, p<0.01) 우심실기능은 낮았다(안정 시 $57.6{\pm}6.5$ vs $61.4{\pm}4.7\;%$, p<0.01 ; 운동 후 $51.1{\pm}10.8$ vs $59.8{\pm}6.6\;%$, p<0.01). 또 운동 후 산소분압 역시 낮았으며($65.7{\pm}12.6$ vs $80.2{\pm}14.4\;mmHg$, p<0.01), 안정 시 산소분압은 낮은 경향을 보였다($82.9{\pm}12.0$ vs $87{\pm}7.5$, p>0.05). 양군 모두에서 우심의 박출계수는 운동 후의 산소분압(결핵후 폐기종 r=0.536, 원발성 폐기종 r=0.557), 그리고 안정 시(결핵후 폐기종 r=-0.576, 원발생 폐기종 r=-0.588) 및 운동 후(결핵후 폐기종 r=-0.764, 원발성 폐기종 r=-0.619)의 이산화탄소분압과 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 환기기능이 비슷한 경우 결핵후 폐기종에서는 원발성 폐기종에 비해 우심의 기능과 가스교환능이 현저히 떨어져 있어, 결핵후 폐기종에서 폐의 가스교환은 우심실 기능의 영향을 받을 것으로 사료된다.

Objective: To determine the correlation among three functional tests: single leg vertical jump (SLVJ), single leg hop for distance (SLHD), and single leg squat (SLSQ). Design: Cross sectional study. Methods: Twenty healthy men (n=10) and women (n=10) with no history of lower extremity dysfucntion participated in this study and performed in university research laboratory. The procedures consisted of a general warm-up, a task-specific warm-up, actual testing, and a cool down. All participants performed the three tests in random order. Each test was performed three times for the dominant and non-dominant lower extremity (LE). SLVJ, SLHD, SLSQ were measured using a standard tape measure. Results: Statistically significant difference was presented between dominant LE and non-dominant LE in each function test (p<0.05). The strongest correlation was between SLVJ and SLSQ, 0.939 and 0.883 for dominant and non-dominant LE, respectively (p<0.05). The weakest correlation was between SLVJ and SLHD, 0.713 for dominant (p<0.05) and between SLSQ and SLHD, 0.739 for non-dominant (p<0.05). Conclusions: There is a strong correlation between SLVJ and SLSQ, suggesting that each test measures similar constructs of function and can be substitutive, while weak correlation between SLSQ and SLHD suggest these two tests do not measure the same functional components and could be paired as outcome measures for the clinical assessment of LE function. It will provide physical therapist with scientific evidence for effective test combination of LE function assessment in clinical practice.

To evaluate training effect, aerobic dance was performed by eight female collegestudents for 8 weeks. Body composition, cardiopulmonary function at rest and during maximal exercise, blood cholesterol concentration at rest were determined before and after 8weeks of aerobic dance training. Maximal exercise was performed on the treadmill according of Bruce protocol. Pre to post training differences were evaluated. The results obtained were as follows : 1. After the training, skinfold thickness and total body fat decreased significantly(p＜0.1) while lean body mass increased with significance (p＜0.1). 2. Heart rate and arterial blood pressure at rest decreased without sinificance after the training. 3. As a result of training, forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume for a second increased significantly (p＜0.01, p＜0.1). 4. After the training period, heart rate at 3, 6, and 9 min. during treadmill exercise was significantly lower than those of pretraining (p＜0.05). 5. After the training, systolic and diastolic blood pressure at 6 and 9 min during the exercise was significantly lower than those of pretraining (p＜0.025, p＜0.1). 6. After the training, oxygen uptake at 3 and 6 min during the exercise was significantly greater than those of pretraining (p＜0.05). 7. As a result of training, the maximal oxygen uptake increased significantly during the exercise (p＜0.1). 8. After the training, expired air volume for a minute at 3 and 6 min during the exercise was signigicantly grerter than those of pretraining (p＜0.1). 9. After the training, repiratory quotient during the exercise was lower than pretaining without significance. 10. After the training, blood HDL -cholesterol concentration incereased with significance, (p＜0.1) blood total cholesterol and triglycerids concentration decreasedsignificantly (p＜0.1). From these results, it may be concluded that 8 week aerobic dance training reduces skinfold thickness and body fat contents, improves the cardiopulmonary function and tissue oxygen utilization, reduces blood cholesterol and triglyceride concentration and brings about the increase of blood HDL-cholesterol concentriation.
