Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of object size and reaching distance on kinematic factors of the upper limb while performing arm reaching for normal subjects. Methods : The subjects of this study were 30 university students who were in D university in Busan, and the measuring tool was CMS-70P(Zebris Medizintechnik Gmbh, Germany), a three-dimensional motion analyzer. The task had six conditions. The average velocity of motion, average acceleration, maximum velocity, and the velocity definite number of movements were measured according to changes in object size(2cm, 10cm) and reaching distance(15%, 37.5%, 60%) when they performed arm reaching. The general characteristics of the subject were technical statistics. One-way ANOVA measurement was used to compare variables when the arm reaching task was performed from two object sizes to three reaching distance, and the post-test was conducted with Tukey test. In addition, an independent t-test was used to analyze the kinematic differences according to the two object sizes at three reaching distances. A two-way ANOVA measurement (3×2 Two-way ANOVA measurement) was performed to identify the interaction of the reaching distance(15%, 37.5%, 60%) and the object size(2cm, 10cm). The statistical significance level α was set to .05. Results : When the size of the object increased, the velocity and maximum velocity also increased, but the definite number of velocity decreased. When the reaching distance increased, the velocity and maximum velocity increased, whereas the definite number of velocity decreased. Conclusion : The clinical significance of this study could be utilized as the baseline data for grading object size and reaching distances when the reaching training is implemented for patients whose central nervous system was damaged.

This study was conducted to compare health and nutritional status of 45 home-living elderly people receiving free Meals on Wheels (MOW) (13 men, 32 women) and 81 low income class elderly people receiving free congregate meals (CM) (10 men, 71 women) served in Seoul. Data were obtained from questionnaires, anthropometry and interviews for the 24-hour dietary recall methods. There were no significant differences between the two groups in age and body mass index. Education level, type of housing, family type and income of the two groups also were not significantly different. In MOW, frequencies of exercise were lower while the prevalence of stroke, respiratory disease and loneliness were higher, compared with the CM. The scores of ADL, IADL and food habit of MOW were lower than those of CM. The average daily nutritional intake of both MOW and CM were as a whole under the DRI for Koreans. Energy and macro-nutrient intakes of MOW were tended to be lower than CM (except protein intakes for female). Ca, K, vitamin A, vitamin $B_1$, vitamin $B_2$, vitamin C and folate intakes of MOW were less than 50% of DRI. Percentages of subjects consuming energy less than 75% of EER and 4 nutrients intakes less than EAR were higher in MOW (42.2%) than in CM (1.2%). Our results indicated that dietary nutritional status of MOW was very poor, especially in the case of female elderly groups. For the welfare of the home-living elderly people receiving free MOW, meal service programs should be improved in quality of diet by national supports.

Sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) is well known as having anti-diabetic and hypolipidemic effects in animals as well as in humans. In this study, we evaluated the effects of sea tangle-added patty on postprandial blood glucose and lipid profiles in borderline-hypercholesterolemic (cholesterol ${\geq}200$ mg/dL) adults. Eleven subjects voluntarily participated in the experiment, and each subject provided written consent. Experimental patty (E) was made by adding 2.25 g of sea tangle powder as a substitution to 1.125 g each of pork and chicken. In the first week, 200 g of Control patty (C) was provided to each subject, who had fasted more than 12 hours. In the second week, the same amount of E patty was supplied under the same conditions. Serum glucose levels increased significantly less at 30, 60, and 120 min after consumption of E patty compared to the levels at all time points after eating C patty. Thus, the change in the area under curve (${\Delta}AUC$) of serum glucose levels through 120 minutes was lower when consuming E patty compared to C patty. Although serum C-peptide concentrations were not significantly different at all time points between the two patties, the ${\Delta}AUC$ of serum C-peptide concentrations through 120 minutes was lower when consuming E patty compared to C patty. However, there were no differences in serum levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C at 30, 60, 120, 180, and 240 min between the two patties. Further, each ${\Delta}AUC$ of these lipid levels through 240 minutes was not significantly different between the two patties. The results indicate that sea tangle-added patty may decrease postprandial plasma glucose concentrations and reduce insulin secretion, although it might not ameliorate serum lipid profiles in adults with borderline-hypercholesterolemia.

The objective of this research was to characterize the fate and transport of Cr(VI) contaminated groundwater in the Daejeon industrial area. Five subsidiary monitoring wells were newly installed and two existing wells were utilized for the investigation and the reduction process of Cr(VI) contaminated groundwater of the Daejeon(Mun-pyeong) national groundwater monitoring station. The Cr(VI) concentrations at the shallow aquifer well of the station were in the range of 3.2-4.5 mg/L indicating continuous contamination. However, Cr was not detected at the deep bedrock well and the other monitoring wells except MPH-1 and 3. The Cr(VI) concentrations of MPH-1 and MPH-3 were below the drinking water guideline value (0.05 mg/L). Therefore, the plume of the Cr(VI) contaminated groundwater was predicted to be confined within the narrow boundary around the station. The soluble/exchangeable Cr(VI) concentrations were below the detection limit in all core and slime samples taken from the five newly installed wells. Although the exact source of contamination was not directly detected in the study area, the spatial Cr(VI) distribution in groundwater and characteristics of the core samples indicated that the source and the dispersion range were confined within the 100 m area from the monitoring station. The contamination might be induced from the unlined landfill of industrial wastes which was observed during the installation of an subsidiary monitoring well. For the evaluation of the natural attenuation of Cr(VI), available reduction capacities of Cr(VI) with an initial concentration of 5 mg/L were measured in soil and aquifer materials. Dark-gray clay layer samples have high capacities of Cr(VI) reduction ranging from 58 to 64%, which is obviously related to organic carbon contents of the samples. The analysis of reduction capacities implied that the soil and aquifer materials controlled the dispersion of Cr(VI) contamination in this area. However, some possibilities of dispersion by the preferential flow cannot be excluded due to the limited numbers of monitoring wells. We suggest the removal of Cr(VI) contaminated groundwater by periodical pumping, and the continuous groundwater quality monitoring for evaluation of the Cr(VI) dispersion should be followed in the study area.

고학년으로 갈수록 지필 환경에만 머무르는 현실 속에서 생활 및 예술 작품 등에서 수학적 원리와 개념을 발견하도록 하는 테셀레이션 수업은 학생들의 흥미와 호기심을 유발하고 수학의 아름다움을 느끼게 하는 것 이상으로 기하학적 사고의 기초를 학습하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 4학년까지 적용되고 있는 7차 교육과정을 중심으로 새롭게 등장하고 있는 테셀레이션에 대한 이해 및 교수 학습 자료가 체계적으로 정비되어 있지 못한 현실적인 문제의 해결 방안으로서 테셀레이션을 활용한 수학 학습의 내용을 분석하여 교사들에게는 테셀레이션의 이해 및 교수 학습 자료로서 , 학생들에게는 수학의 기하적 개념들을 쉽고 재미있게 학습할 수 있는 학습도구로서 활용할 수 있도록 하는 것을 목적으로 테셀레이션을 구현할 수 있는 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 활용하여 테셀레이션 교수 학습 자료를 개발하였고 이를 위해 다음과 같은 연구 내용을 설정하였다. 가. 테셀레이션의 정의와 예 그리고 종류를 알아보고 테셀레이션 속의 수학적 개념을 활용방법과 함께 제시한다. 나. 제7차 초등 수학 교육과정 중 도형 영역과 규칙성과 함수 영역을 중심으로 테셀레이션을 적용할 수 있는 내용영역을 분석하고 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 활용한 테셀레이션 자료를 제시한다. 다. 제작된 테셀레이션 교수 학습 자료의 효과적 활용을 위한 활용 방안을 탐색한다. 라. 제작된 테셀레이션 교수 학습 자료의 활용 효과를 알아보기 위해 적용 실험을 하고 이에 대한 학생들의 반응을 분석하여 학습의 효과를 밝힌다. 제작된 테셀레이션 교수 학습 자료의 적용 실험을 위하여 광주대성초등학교 6학년 한 반을 선정하였고 약 4주에 걸쳐 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 활용한 테셀레이션 교수 학습 자료를 투입하여 4번의 활동수업을 실시하였다. 수업 후 작성된 학습지와 소감문 및 연구자에 의해 관찰된 수업내용을 바탕으로 다음과 같은 연구 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 제7차 초등 수학 교육과정 중 도형 영역과 규칙성과 함수 영역을 중심으로 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 활용한 테셀레이션 자료를 제시한 결과 지필적 환경에서 제한적이었던 탐구하고 조작해보는 활동을 할 수 있는 역동적인 수학 실험실 환경이 제공됨으로써 도구적 이해가 아닌 관계적 이해를 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 수학적 개념을 암기하는 것에서 벗어나 자연스런 조작을 통해 학생들이 개념을 이해하고 탐구하는 과정 속에서 학생들은 수학을 공부한다기 보다는 수학 속에서 재미있게 놀이한다는 생각을 가지고 수업에 참여하였고 배우는 즐거움을 알고 자신감을 가지며 더 나아가 창의적인 생각을 하도록 하는 기회를 줄 수 있었다. 둘째, 테셀레이션은 우리 생활 속에서 쉽게 발견할 수 있는 것으로 수학이 단순히 책에서만 한정되지 않고 다양한 분야 즉 디자인, 생활 속에서의 벽지문양과 포장지, 예술작품 등에 활용되고 있음을 체험함으로써 수학이 실생활에 광범위하게 활용되고 있음을 알게 하였다. 역으로 생활 속에서의 테셀레이션을 통해 수학적 개념을 찾는 과정을 통해 수학이 아름다우면서도 실용적이라는 생각을 심어줄 수 있었다. 셋째, 테셀매니아, GSP, 캐브리, 거북기하 등 평소 수업에서는 활용도가 적은 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 활용함으로써 컴퓨터 소프트웨어 자체에서 오는 호기심뿐만이 아니라 직접 조작하여 테셀레이션 작품과 개념을 익히고 새로운 작품과 학습을 해 내는 과정을 통해 자신감과 성취감 등에 있어 큰 변화가 있음을 발견할 수 있었다. 컴퓨터 기능이 미숙한 학생의 경우 처음에는 당황해 하고 어려워하는 부분도 있었으나 조작할 시간적 여유를 주고 교사와 우수한 학생들이 도우미로서 역할을 잘해내어 나중에는 큰 어려움 없이 마칠 수 있었다. 테셀레이션이라는 용어가 아직은 생소한 현장에서 교수 학습 자료가 부족하고 그에 따른 이해도 부족한 현실 속에서 컴퓨터 소프트웨어를 활용한 테셀레이션 교수 학습 자료가 교수 학습 현장에 투입되어 유용하게 사용될 수 있는지 그 가능성을 조사한 것을 목적으로 한 본 연구의 결과로서 테셀레이션이라는 주제는 도형 영역과 규칙성과 함수 영역에서 평면 도형의 각과 모양 등의 성질을 탐구하게 하고, 대칭변환의 개념을 효율적으로 학습하게 할 수 있고, 반복되는 모양에서 규칙성을 발견하고 부분과 전체를 파악하여 패턴을 인지할 수 있게 하며 제작하고 분석하는 과정을 통해 여러 가지 수학적 개념과 수학적 창의성, 수학적인 아름다움을 느끼게 할 수 있음을 발견할 수 있었다. 또한 테셀레이션은 수학적 개념은 물론 수학과 미술, 수학과 일상 생활과의 연결성을 논의하고 확인하는 데 흥미로운 주제가 될 수 있다. 초등학교 교육과정에서 새롭게 도입되고 있는 테셀레이션을 활용하여 지도하기 위한 교수 학습 자료로 유용하게 사용될 수 있고 앞으로는 테셀레이션과 관련된 내용이 직접적으로 교육과정 내에서 다루어지고, 또한 테셀레이션을 적용한 수업이 학생들의 기하학적 사고 및 수학적 태도에 미치는 영향과 관련한 연구가 뒤따라야 할 것으로 본다.

The purpose of these study was to investigate the use of a glass micropipette (GMP) as a vessel for vitrification of bovine IVP blastocysts, to compare the post-thaw survival rates of bovine blastocysts frozen in GMP with those frozen in OPS that have been previously investigated, and to improve the hatching rate following vitrification with GMP method. The GMP vessel permits higher freezing and warming rate than the OPS due to the higher heat conductivity of the glass and lower mass of the solution that contains the embryos. Groups of three bovine IVP blastocysts were sequentially placed into vitrification solution before being loaded into either the OPS or GMP vessels and immersed into L$N_2$within 20 to 25 sec. Post-thaw blastocysts were serially washed in 0.25 and 0.15 M sucrose in HM and TCM-199 for each 5 min, respectively, and then cultured in TCM 199 supplemented with 10% FCS for 24 h. The rate of blastocyst re-expanding did not significantly different for OPS (75.9%) and GMP (80.0%) methods (P＞0.05). The hatching rates in OPS (34.1%) and GMP (37.5%) methods were significantly lower than that in control group (54.3%) (P＞0.05). In addition, the rate of blastocyst re-expanding was significantly lower if blastocysts were vitrified in the wide portion of the micropipette rather than the narrow portion of the micropipette (83.3 vs 56.7%) (P＞0.05), even though three blastocysts were loaded per vessel. The hatching rate in 0.05% pronase solution treatment for 30, 60 and 90 see (45.9, 54.7 and 57.5%) were significantly higher than that in control (35.0%), even though there was not significantly different between 30 see and control. These results indicate that both vitrification vessels can provide high survival rates of bovine IVP blastocysts. However, the GMP vessel has the advantage over the OPS, in that the former does not need a cap to protect the vessel from floating after immersion in L$N_2$. The location of the embryos (narrow or wide portion of immersion) were considered to be limiting factors to the viability of bovine IVP embryos. The exposing in 0.05% pronase solution for 60 or 90 see can increase hatching rates of post-thaw bovine IVP blastocysts.

1997년 홍콩 가금시장에서의 H5N1 조류독감바이러스의 발병은 18명의 감염된 사람 중에서 6명의 사람의 생명을 앗아갔다. 이 사건은 조류독감바이러스가 매개체를 통하지 않고 닭에서 바로 사람에게 감염한 처음 있는 사건이다. 홍콩가금시장에서의 역학조사는 H5Nl과 H9N2 조류독감바이러스가 함께 공존한다는 것을 밝혔다. 가금에서는 H5N1과 H9N2 조류독감바이러스가 검출되었다. 우리는 H5N1 조류독감바이러스로부터 자을 방어하는데 H9N2 조류독감바이러스의 역할에 대해 연구했다. H5N1과 H9N2 바이러스의 혼합바이러스를 동시에 자에 접종하면 자은 생존하지 못했다. 그러나, H5N1 조류 독감바이러스감염 이전에 H9N2 조류독감바이러스를 감염한 닭들은 생존할 수 있었다 H9N2 조류 독감바이러스로 감염된 닭으로부터 얻어진 혈청은 H5N1 조류독감바이러스와 교차반응을 일으키지 않는다. H9N2 조류독감바이러스로 감염시킨 닭으로부터 얻어진 T임파구 또는 CD8 T임파구를 감염하지 않은 닭에 주입할 때 닭은 H5N1 조류독감바이러스로부터 생존할 수 있었다. 실험실외 킬러임파구실험은 H9N2 조류독감바이러스로 감염된 닭으로부터 얻어진 T임파구는 H5N1과 H9N2 조류독감바이러스로 감염된 목표세포를 동시에 감지했다. 게다가, 생체내 T임파구의 제거실험은 교차보호면역은 a/b TCR를 가진 CD8 T임파구가 중요한 역할을 하며, a/b TCR (Vbl)형의 T임파구가 목표세포를 감지한다는 것을 증명했다. H9N2 조류독감바이러스에 의한 방어면역은 시간이 지남에 따라 감소를 했고, 감염 100일까지 방어력을 나타냈다. 1997년 조류독감바이러스인 H5N1의 홍콩에서의 발병에 대한 풀리지 않은 것 중의 하나는 약 20%의 조류들이 매우 치사율이 높은 H5N1 독감바이러스를 가지고 있음에도 홍콩가금시장에서의 대부분의 닭들은 건강했다. 얻을 수 있는 정보에 따르면 대부분의 자들은 H5N1조류독감바이러스를 변으로 방출했고, 단지 두 곳의 가금시장에 있는 자들이 질병증상을 보였다. 홍콩가금시장에서 분리된 모든 H5N1 조류독감바이러스를 닭에 감염하면 100%의 치사율을 나타낸다. 바이러스 측면에서의 연구에 따르면, H9N2 조류독감바이러스는 홍콩가금시장에서 두 번째로 많이 분리되었다. H9N2 조류독감바이러스에 대한 연구에 따르면 세 가지 형이 홍콩가금시장에서 검출되었다. 1997년에 가장 많이 분리된 H9N2 조류독감바이러스는 PB1과 PB2가 A/Chicken/HongKong /156/97 (H5N1)과 유전적으로 유사한 A/HongKong/G9/97 (H9N2)형이다. A/Chicken/Hong Kong/156/97(H5N1)의 나머지 유전자는 A/Chicken/HongKong/739/94 (H9N2)와 A/chicken /Hong Kong/G23/97의 유전자와 비슷하다. 하나의 A/Quail/Hong Kong/G1/97은 Quail에서 분리되었고, 두 개의 A/Duck/Hong Kong/Y280/97 (H9N2)은 오리에서 분리되었다. A/Quail/Hong Kong/G1/97 (H9N2)의 6개의 내부유전자는 A/HongKon9/156/97 (H5N1)에 유사하나, A/Duck/ Hongkong/Y280/97 (H9N2)의 유전자는 A/HongKong/156/97 (H5N1)과 유사하지 않다. 킬러임파구는 바이러스로 감염된 목표세포를 MHC에 의존하여 파괴한다. 독감바이러스 특이 킬러임파구는 독감바이러스로 감염된 mice의 폐로부터 독감바이러스를 제거하는데 중요하다고 알려져 있다. 독감바이러스의 HA단백질은 특이 킬러임파구의 주요 목표항원 단백질이 아니다. 내부단백질인 nucleoprotein, polymerase (PB1 PB2, PA), Matrix protein, 그리고 비 구조단백질인 NS1에 대한 특이 킬러임파구의 반응이 사람과 mice에서 보고되었다. 독감바이러스에 대한 mice의 킬러임파구의 인식영역은 제한되어 있다고 알려져 있다. 많은 mice MHC 1은 독감바이러스 단백질의 킬러임파구의 epitope를 표현하지 못한다. 사람 기억킬러임파구는 다양한 종류의 독감바이러스의 단백질을 인식한다고 알려져 있다. 지금까지, 닭에서의 독감바이러스의 킬러임파구에 대한 연구는 되지 않았다.

Purpose : To describe the characteristics of the claims for compensation and the methodology of investigations concerning adverse events following immunization(AEFI) and epidemiologic characteristics of the AEFI. From these results, to give a suggestion for improving AEFI surveillance system, consequently to stabilize National Immunization Program. Methods : Totally 61 cases were reported to the National Compensation Program and surveillance system of AEFI from 1995 to 2000. Documents from National Compensation Program, medical records and epidemiologic investigation reports of the cases were collected and analyzed. Results : The number of reported cases was 12 in 1995, 3 in 1996, 12 in 1998, 5 in 1999, and 29 in 2000, respectively. That of deaths was 24(39.3%) and 16 cases among them were autopsied(66.7%). That of claims for compensation was 36 and 17 cases among them were compensated(47.2%). The proportion of claim was lower in 1999~2000 than in 1995~1998, but proportion of compensation increased. Although proportion of investigation was lower in 1999~2000 than in 1995~1998, cases which were not epidemiologically investigated, decreased. The epidemiologic investigation launched within 24 hours after report increased from 25% in 1995~1998 to 48.3% in 1999~2000. Among reported cases, the number of boys was 31(50.8%), and 75.4% of subjects were from 2 months to 24 months old. 78.4% of adverse events occurred within one week after immunization. Conclusion : We can find that surveillance system of AEFI and quality of epidemiologic investigation has been somewhat improved. But, it seems that severe cases were more frequently reported than moderate or mild cases, and reporting rate was lower than that of other developed countries. We could not identify the detailed epidemiologic characteristics of AEFI due to these limitation of data. To achieve the stabilization of National Immunization Program, reporting rate and the quality of investigation should be improved.

Purpose: Although radiation-induced fibrosis is one of the common sequelae occurring after irradiation of skin and soft tissues, the treatment methods are not well standardized. This study aimed to establish the skin fibrosis mouse model by fractionated radiation for the further mechanism studies or testing the efficacy of therapeutic candidates. Materials and Methods: The right hind limbs of BALB/c mice received two fractions of 20 Gy using a therapeutic linear accelerator. Early skin damages were scored and tissue fibrosis was assessed by the measurement of a leg extension. Morphological changes were assessed by H&E staining and by Masson's Trichrome staining. TGF-${\beta}1$ expression from soft tissues was also detected by immunohistochemistry and PCR. Results: Two fractions of 20 Gy irradiation were demonstrated as being enough to induce early skin damage effects such as erythema, mild skin dryness, dry and wet desquamation within several weeks of radiation. After 13 weeks of irradiation, the average radiation-induced leg contraction was $11.1{\pm}6.2mm$. Morphologic changes in irradiated skin biopsies exhibited disorganized collagen and extracellular matrix fibers, as well as the accumulation of myofibroblasts compared to the non-irradiated skin. Moreover, TGF-${\beta}1$ expression in tissue was increased by radiation. Conclusion: These results show that two fractions of 20 Gy irradiation can induce skin fibrosis in BALB/c mice accompanied by other common characteristics of skin damages. This animal model can be a useful tool for studying skin fibrosis induced by radiation.

This study examines the regulatory issues and introduction problems of TV-betting data broadcasts in Korea by in-depth interview with a panel group. TV-betting data broadcast services of card games and horse racing games are widely in use in Europe and other parts of the world. In order to carry out the study, a demo program of TV-betting data broadcast in the OCAP(OpenCableTM Application Platform Specification) system environment, which is the data broadcasting standard for digital cable broadcasts in Korea was exposed to the panel group and then they were interviewed after watching and using the program. The results could be summarized as below. First of all, while TV-betting data broadcasts have many elements of entertainment, the respondents thought that it would be difficult to introduce TV-betting in data broadcasts as in overseas countries largely due to social factors. In addition, in order to introduce TV-betting data broadcasts, they suggested that excessive speculativeness must be suppressed through a series of regulatory system devices, such as by guaranteeing credibility of the media based on safe security systems for transactions, scheduling programs with effective time constraints to prevent the games from running too frequently, limiting the betting values, and by prohibiting access to games through set-top boxes of other data broadcast subscribers. The general consensus was that TV-betting could be considered for gradual introduction within the governmental laws and regulations that would minimize its ill effects. Therefore, the government should formulate long-term regulations and policies for data broadcasts. Once the groundwork is laid for safe introduction of TV-betting on data broadcasts within the boundary of laws and regulations, interactive TV games are expected to be introduced in Korea not only for added functionality of entertainment but also for far-ranging development of data broadcast and new media industries.
