The purpose of this study was how a nature-friendly fingertips play program with nature affected the development of small muscle functions and creative thinking abilities of young children. The subjects of this study were 28 five year old children. Fourteen of them were from H preschool and the other fourteen were from P preschool in the city of B. The research 'evaluation tool for small muscle motor function development' by Byung Dong Kang(2002) was used to measure the small muscle motor functions of preschool students. The Korean version standardized by Young Chae Kim(2004) was used to measure the development of creative thinking abilities. The study arrived at the following results. First, the nature-friendly fingertips play program affected positively to the development of entire small muscle functions, accuracy, rapidness, and stability for young children. Second, the nature-friendly fingertips play program affected positively to the entire creative thinking abilities, fluency, and resistance to the early conclusion. In conclusion, the nature- friendly fingertips play program affected positively to the development of small motor functions and creative thinking abilities.

Objective : This study aims to figure out the effect that sensory integration group therapy has on the fine motor, social interaction and playfulness of preschool children with intellectual disability. Methods : Participants were four children from three to five years old who were diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and they participated in twelve sessions of sensory integration group therapy, sixty minutes per session and once a week. Sensory integration group therapy was composed of parallel and peer play-centered gross motor activities, art activities and sensory plays that were related to each theme. Erhardt Developmental Prehension Assessment (EDPA), Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale (PIPPS) and Test of Playfulness (ToP) were used to evaluate participants' fine motor, social interaction and playfulness before and after the intervention. Results of fine motor, social interaction and playfulness before and after the intervention were compared using Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test. Results : After sensory integration group therapy intervention, the fine motor skills of participants did not show significant increases, but social interaction and playfulness showed significant increases (p< .05). Conclusion : Although sensory integration group therapy with preschool children with intellectual disability did not show positive improvement in fine motor skills, it showed positive effect on social interaction and playfulness. Group sensory integration therapy might be an intervention approach for all children with disabilities.

This paper proposes a small-scale rehabilitation system that allows stroke patients to perform daily rehabilitation training in a virtual home. Stroke patients have limited activities of daily living due to paralysis, and there are many rehabilitation exercises for them to reproduce activities that take place in the house, such as turning lights on and off, door opening and closing, gas valve locking. In this paper, we have implemented a virtual home with the above mentioned daily rehabilitation training elements, by using virtual reality technology. We use Leap Motion, a hand motion recognition device, for rehabilitation of hands and fingers. It is expected that stroke patients can rehabilitate small muscles without having to visit the clinic with uncomfortable body, and will be able to get interesting rehabilitation training by avoiding monotony of existing rehabilitation tools.

최근 발표된 고대구로병원 최경묵 교수의 연구에 따르면 당뇨병환자의 근육감소증 발병률이 일반인에 비해 3배나 높은 것으로 나타났다. 실제 근육이 많으면 당 조절에도 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 당뇨병에서 걷기나 달리기 등 유산소운동의 중요성에 대해서 많이 알려져 있고, 실제 대부분의 환자들이 실천하고 있지만, 근력운동은 소홀한 경우가 많다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of proprioceptive-vestibular based sensory integrative intervention on handwriting and fine motor function in elementary school students in grades 1 to 3. Methods : In this study, eight students in an elementary school in Busan were enrolled. The intervention was conducted twice a week from May to October, 2016, and a total of 14 intervention sessions were conducted. In order to evaluate the writing ability and the fine-motor exercise ability before and after the intervention, the fine-motor movement items of the Korean alphabet writing test and the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) evaluation were used. Results : There was a statistically significant difference between the total scores of consonant writing and the Korean alphabet writing assessment after the intervention. In BOTMP-Fine motor, the response speed items showed statistically significant difference. Visual-motor control scores increased during intervention, but the statistical significance was not found. Conclusion : Sensory integration interventions might have positive effects on elementary school students' writing skills and fine motor functions.

Choline is important an organic compound for normal membrane function, acetylcholine synthesis, lipid transport, and methyl metabolism. In biological tissues and foods, there are multiple choline compounds that contribute to choline content. There are so many analytical methods for choline determination, such as radioisotopic, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. However, these existing methods are expensive, unmanageable, and time-consuming. In this study, we modified enzymatic method, which is applicable for the determination of choline in milk and infant formulas, and applied to bovine serum and muscle. The calibration curves were linear with higher correlation coefficients than 0.994. Recoveries obtained by calibration curves from the spiked bovine serum and muscle samples varied between 70.6 and 85.2%. The method may be suitable for use as a routine method in the determination of choline for biological tissue and food samples.

유전적으로 우수한 미경산우를 선발하여 조기에 우수한 수정란을 생산하여 이식 후 개량을 촉진한다는 것은 소의 육종개량에서 매우 중요한 일이다. 일반적으로 경산우에 비해 미경산우는 수정란의 생산효율이 떨어진다는 보고가 있다. 최근에는 다배란 처리시 FSH와 Estradiol Benzoate(EB)를 사용하여 다배란처리 효율을 개선하였다는 보고(Matoba 등, 2002)가 있어 EB의 첨가가 미경산우에 있어 수정란 생산 효율을 개선하는 지를 조사하기 위해 60일 간격으로 반복하여 다배란 유기실험을 수행하였다. 공란우는 11 -15개월령의 한우 16두를 평균 90일 주기로 반복 다배란 처리우로 사용하였으며 발정 주기중 황체 중기 소에게 CIDR plus를 질내에 삽입하고 다음날 EB를 근육주사하였으며, 120시간 후 부터 FSH 50mg을 1일 2회, 4일간 주사하고 마지막 날 prostaglandin제제를 25mg 근육주사한 다음에 48, 60시간 후 인공수정을 반복 실시하였다. 인공 수정시는 배란을 촉진하기 위해 GnRH제(콘세랄)을 50mg을 근육주사하였다.

The physics theory applied to the elliptical health trainers can be a good example in engineering education. From the point of view of the physics education the measurement of mechanical and thermal energy expenditure in elliptical trainers can be related to the muscle activity, quantity of motion, and metabolic cost. We realized that the low speed training is effective for high basal metabolism due to increasing the muscle activity even if the high speed training is effective for training down. Elliptical Trainer may provide an effective oxygen exhaustion and thus effective training down. However, the metabolic cost does not have much relation to the amount of training under the high speed of trainer.

노년에게는 근력운동이 아닌 걷기, 달리기, 수영 등 유산소운동이 적합한 운동으로 알고 있다. 근력운동을 하다가 자칫 잘못하면 더 큰 부상을 당할 수 있고, 운동 효율이 낮기 때문이다. 하지만 최근에는 근력운동이 노년에게도 필요하다는 주장이 점차 힘을 얻고 있는 추세이다. 구릿빛 피부에 울퉁불퉁한 식스팩까지는 아니지만 분명 노년을 건강하게 보내기 위해서는 근육이 필요하다.

Myostatin is a transforming growth and differentiation factor-${\beta}$ family member that acts as a negative regulator of muscle growth. Previously, mutations in the myostatin gene were known to be related to double muscling phenotypes in cattle. Because myostatin gene is highly related to muscle mass, also meat quality, in cattle, we sequenced whole myostatin mRNA and investigated the SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) in Korean cattle (Hanwoo). The results indicated that Hanwoo had an SNP in nt2385 and this mutation can be a useful marker with further verifications. We also investigated expression patterns of the myostatin gene from various muscle tissues and organs. Northern blotting results indicated that myostatin expression was restricted in muscles with variable expression levels. The results presented here can be used as a valuable information for meat quality related traits and muscle mass in cattle.
