The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of using cervical spinal stabilization exercise for the improvement of pain intensity, cervical range of motion, neck disability index, reposition sense, muscle tenderness with chronic neck pain in private security. For 21 patients diagnosed with chronic cervical pain and divided into cervical spinal stabilization exercise group and postural correction exercise group. Each exercise was conducted for 8 weeks. Pain and neck disability index were measured before and after exercise using the visual analogue scale(VAS) and the neck disability index(NDI). Range of motion were measured electronic goniometer, muscle tenderness of upper trapezius ad sternocleidomatoid were measured algometer, reposition sense were measured reposition panel before and after exercise. After 8 weeks of exercise, the cervical stabilization exercise group pain and neck disability were significantly decreased(p<0.05). Also there was significant difference in both group(p<0.05). In addition, range of motion, muscle tenderness reduce rate, reposition sense were significantly increase as compared to the pre-post exercise in cervical stabilization exercise group(p<0.05). But there was no significantly difference in postural correction group before and after exercise(p>0.05). And there was significantly increase more cervical stabilization exercise group than postural correction exercise group in range of motion, muscle tenderness reduce, reposition sense. In summary, cervical spinal stabilization exercise is more effective in improving cervical range of motion, muscle pain, reposition sense in private security on chronic cervical pain patients, in reducing patients' pain and disability. It is an effective treatment to aid rehabilitation in these cases.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of cerebral response to motor tasks in patients with schizophrenia compared with normal subjects using functional MRI. Materials and methods ; Nine right handed-schizophrenic patients and six right-handed normal subjects were included. We used right hand movement as task. Series of 120 consecutive echo-planar images per section were acquired during three cycles of task and rest activations. Lateralization index of cortical response was measured and compared between patients and normal subjects. Results ; Right hand motor task was associated with greater activation in left sensorimotor cortex than the right in normal subjects. Schizophrenia patients showed relatively decreased activation in left cortex and increased activation in right cortex compared with normal subjects. In one patient, reversed lateralization was noted. Conclusion : Normal hemispheric asymmetry of cortical response to motor task was found in different pattern in schizophrenia. Our result is consistent with functional disturbance of motor circuitry in this disorder. Functional MRI will play an important role in diagnosis and research of this disorder.

인간은 두뇌의 일부를 이용하여 감각 정보를 수집하고 이에 대한 분석 및 판단을 행한 후에 행동을 취하는 일반적인 과정에 의해, 느끼고 생각하고 말한다. 이런 일련의 과정은 신경생리학적으로 밝혀진 바에 의하면, 대뇌의 시상에 분포한 일차 감각영역에서 감각 정보를 수집한다. 수집된 감각 정보는 과거 기억과의 비교를 통해 인식되고 인식된 정보는 일차 운동영역으로 전달되어 행동으로 나타난다. 수집된 감각 정보를 판단하는 기관은 감각 연합 영역으로 알려져 있으며, 과거 정보를 통해 비교하여 판단하는 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 신경회로망의 적응적 학습 기법을 통해 입력된 감각 정보에 대한 추론 과정에 감정의 변화를 고려하는 학습 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 감정을 고려하지 않은 경우에 비해, 동일한 감각 입력에 대해 감정에 따라 차별화된 행동을 결정할 수 있는 학습 모델을 설정함으로써 단순한 감각 정보 처리의 차원을 극복하고자 한다.

삼차신경절의 뉴론이 구강악안면영역에서의 촉각, 압각, 온도각 및 통각 등 다양한 감각을 중추신경계로 전달하는 역할을 하는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 이러한 신경전달에 있어서 이온통로는 감각정보를 전달하는데 핵심적인 역할을 수행한다. 이 중 소디움 통로는 활동전위의 발생에 중요하며, 칼슘 통로는 시냅스 전도에 있어서 필수적인 역할을 수행하고, 포타슘 통로는 안정막전압의 유지 및 재분극에 관여한다. 최근에 여러 가지의 이온통로들의 뇌조직내의 분포에 관한 연구가 시작되고 있는데 삼차신경의 일차구심뉴론이 종지하는 삼차신경핵 즉 삼차신경 척수감각핵, 삼차신경 주감각핵, 삼차신경 중뇌핵 및 삼차신경 운동핵에 존재하는 이온통로에 관한 연구는 매우 희소하여 본 연구에서는 횐쥐의 삼차신경 핵에 존재하는 소디움, 칼슘 및 포타슘 이온통로들을 면역조직화학적 방법으로 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) 소디움 통로는 삼차신경 척수감각핵, 삼차신경 주감각핵 및 삼차신경 운동핵 모두에서 강하게 염색되었다. (2) 칼슘 통로는 삼차신경 척수감각핵에서는 N-type 통로가 중등도로 염색되었으며 , P/Q-type 통로는 약하게 염색되었으나 R-type 통로는 거의 염색되지 않았다. 삼차신경 주감각핵에서는 P/Q-type 통로가 매우 약하게 염색되었다. (3) 포타슘 통로는 삼차신경 척수감각핵과 삼차신경 주감각핵에서 inwardly rectifying 포타슘 통로(Kir 2.1)가 중등도로 염색되었고, voltage-gated 포타슘 통로(Kv 4.2)가 약하게 염색되었으며, BKCa는 그 염색 정도가 매우 약하게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 볼 때 삼차신경 감각핵에는 소디움 통로의 분포가 가장 많았으며, 칼슘통로에서는 N-type이, 포타슘 통로 중에는 inwardly rectifying 통로(Kir 2.1)가 가장 많이 분포함을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Purpose : To reveal clinical usefulness of functional MRI (fMRI) using sensorymotor and language stimuli for demonstrating anatomic relationship between sensorimotor or language cortices and lesions in the planning of brain tumor surgery. Materials and Methods : This study included 12 right-handed patients with brain tumors in or around sensorimotor or language cortices. Eleven patients were evaluated with primary motor and sensory stimuli. Of these patients, six patients were also evaluated with language stimuli. One patient was evaluated with language stimuli only. For fMR imaging, a 1.5T scanner was used and the EPI BOLD technique was employed. For postprocessing image, the SPM99 program and a program made by our department was utilized. We evaluated whether sensorimotor and language stimuli activate sensorimotor and language cortices. And also, clinical efficacy of revealing anatomic relationship between cerebral cortices and lesions for planning neurosurgical operation were evaluated. Finally, we compared post-operative neurologic function with pre-operative neurologic function in same patients. Results : The fMRI examination was successful in identifying the functional cortices and depicting anatomic relationship between functional cortices and lesions in all patients. In nine patients of 11 patients with identified sensorimotor cortices, postoperative grade of manual motor test was not changed, compared with preoperative grade. Whereas postoperative improved than preoperative grade in one patient of remaining two patients, postoperative aggravated than preoperative grade in the other. This result was due to atherosclerotic lacunar infarction, regardless of tumor resection. Postoperative deficit of language function was not found in seven patients with identified language cortices. Conclusion : fMRI could be a helpful method for determining the best approach to neurosurgical treatment in patients with brain tumors in or around sensorimotor or language cortices.

신경생리학적으로 밝혀진 바에 의하면, 대뇌의 시상에 분포한 일차 감각영역에서 감각 정보를 수집한다. 수집된 감각 정보는 과거 기억과의 비교를 통해 인식되고 인식된 정보는 일차 운동영역으로 전달되어 행동으로 나타난다. 수집된 감각 정보를 판단하는 기관은 감각 연합 영역으로 알려져 있으며, 과거 정보를 통해 비교하여 판단하는 방식이다. 하지만, 과거 기억 정보로 존재하지 않는 새로운 감각 입력에 대해서는 대뇌피질 내의 파페츠 회로를 통해 새로이 기억하게 된다. 이 과정에는 변연계의 편도체(Amygdala)의 감정 반응을 이용하여 강한 감정 반응을 유도하는 감각 입력에 대해서는 강한 기억을 하게 되고, 반대의 경우에는 약한 기억을 하게 되는 특징이 고려된다. 본 논문에서는 기억되지 않은 새로운 감각 자극에 대해 감정 반응 정도에 따라 기억되는 정도의 변화를 관찰할 수 있는 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 이 모델은 대뇌피질의 정보 처리 및 감각 학습 과정을 인공적으로 구현하는 과정에 바탕이 될 것이다.
