The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of forest healing programs with walking, sightseeing, and forest scent among six healing forest treatments using forest environment on the cognitive function, depression, and quality of life of elderly living alone. The subjects of the study were 17 senior citizens living in Samcheok and complaining of severe depression and forgetfulness. They were divided into two groups, and each group participated in the six sessions of the weekly forest healing program. All of them were surveyed of a Korean version of the MMSE-K, BDI (Beck Depression Inventory Korean Version), and SF-36 (Short Form 36 health survey questionnaire) with the questionnaire designed for the one-group pre-post test to examine changes in cognitive function, depression, and quality of life. The results showed that the mental status, depression level, and quality of life of respondents were significantly higher after healing programs. These results suggest that participation in healing program activities using forest environment can improve cognitive function, relieve depression and improve quality of life for senior citizens living alone. Therefore, inducing older adults who live alone and avoid outside activities to participate in the regular forest healing program will contribute to the prevention of dementia due to age and environment.

As activities and convenience of residents in outdoor spaces in apartment houses have been considered important, strategies for making outdoor spaces in apartment houses healing spaces have emerged as a major interest. The purpose of this study is to draw elements for planning healing to create healing spaces in collective housing areas and to present design guidelines. The findings of this study are as follows. Functional elements of a healing environment were classified into safe environment, therapeutic environment, ancillary environment, orientation-reinforcing environment, amenities, and social environment. Outdoor spaces in collective housing areas were divided into collective housing entrance areas, internal and external spread areas, outdoor activity areas, and areas by theme. First, collective housing entrance areas should be planned in such a manner that residents can feel the area is private and easy to recognize. Second, internal and external spread areas should be planned in such a manner that they are easy to access and communicate with neighbors. Third, outdoor activity areas should be divided into an open space, resting space, playing space, and sports space. Open spaces should be planned in such a manner that they can command a fine view and respect the privacy of nearby residents. Resting spaces should be equipped with a shelter that protects users from direct sunlight, rain, and snow as well as include a movable bench. Playing spaces should be built considering development of children's curiosity, adventurous spirit, character, stimulation, and physical health. Playing spaces should be designed in such a manner that roadways and sidewalks can be separated for safe traffic. Sport spaces should be planned in such a manner that they can be associated with a pavilion and trail that provide residents with an opportunity to communicate with each other and rest. Fourth, spaces by theme are classified into sense garden, therapeutic garden, experiential garden, and learning garden. Sense gardens are a small garden based on the five senses. Sense gardens should be designed in such a manner that they can improve users' mental and physical health through programs that stimulate the sense of sight, auditory sense, and olfactory sense. Therapeutic gardens should be designed in such a manner that they can provide a comfortable and relaxing space by minimizing noise. It is advisable for therapeutic gardens to be equipped with a medicinal herb garden, meditation garden, and sense garden. Experiential and learning gardens should be designed in such a manner that they can provide users with a space in which they can enjoy nature and leisure activities. It is advisable for experiential and learning gardens to be equipped with a tea garden, vegetable garden, and camping garden. Healing programs should be designed in such a manner that users can feel relaxed by providing a healing environment, making the most of the natural environment. Further research on evaluating whether the findings of this study are effective in healing in a qualitative and quantitative manner is needed.

This study examines how poem and poetic ego of Cho Ji-Hoon form synapses. It is to clarify the synaptic structure of the healing, the contact point between the literary mechanism and the mechanism of the ego. Therefore, it aims to encode the active therapy by substituting the structure into the literary therapy program. Cho Ji-Hoon's poem "Bellflower Flower" is a mesh of poem, and a mesh of semantic arguments is set up for the 'Bellflower Flower' of functor. At this time, the longing that attracts depression to the net of the semantic argument is caught. This exists as a function of healing. If we embody a literary therapy program that utilizes the synaptic structure of this healing, it will be able to experience the function of literary therapy improved than before.

최근 전방십자인대 손상의 치료에 남아있는 인대 다발이 이식건의 생물학적 치유를 도우며 고유 수용감각(proprioception) 기능을 유지할 뿐만 아니라 슬관절의 전방 전위 억제의 생역학적 기능을 가지는 것으로 연구되고 있다. 이러한 이론을 바탕으로 남아있는 전방십자인대를 보존하는 노력들은 다양하게 시도되고 있다. 전방십자인대 손상의 자연 경과는 아직도 논란이 되고 있으나 선택적인 환자에 있어서 보존적 치료는 비교적 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있으므로 불필요한 재건술을 줄일 수 있다. 최근 시도되고 있는 선택적 다발 재건술 및 남아있는 다발을 보존하는 전방십자인대 재건 수술 수기들은 다양한 방법으로 시도되고 있으며 남아있는 다발을 보존하는 장점이 있으나 협소한 적응증을 가진다. 저자들의 남아있는 다발을 보존하는 전방십자인대 재건술은 자가 슬괵건을 이용한 단일다발 재건술을 시행하면서 잔존하는 이완된 다발에 봉합사를 통과시킨 후 봉합사를 추가적인 터널 없이 bioabsorbable cross pin (RIGIDfix system, Mitek, Johnson & Johnson, USA) 구멍을 통하여 당기고 고정하는 방법이다. 전방십자인대 재건술시 남아있는 다발을 보존하는 방법은 이식건의 생물학적 치유을 촉진하고 또한 경골 부착부에 남아있는 기계수용체를 보존하므로 기능적 회복에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 저자들의 방법은 비교적 광범위한 적응증을 가지며 적은 합병증으로 남아있는 다발을 효과적으로 보존할 수 있는 술식으로 전방십자인대 수술시 좋은 치료 선택의 하나로 사료된다.

Background: Exercise influences the generation of brain cells through learning and experience in the process of acquiring motor skills and helps improve brain function. It is necessary to scientifically verify how brain wave activity, a method of analyzing brain function, affects movement. Purposes: We scientifically identify the positive effects on EEG activity when applying complex functional linear ladder movements in an appropriate environment. Methods: After recruiting 30 male university students, we divided them into a linear ladder exercise group, a treadmill exercise group, and a control group, and exercise was applied and measured repeatedly for ten weeks. Results: There was a statistically significant change between groups in the left prefrontal lobe of alpha waves when exercise was applied (p < .05). Conclusions: Although exercise has a positive effect on EEG, line ladder exercise, which applies a complex pattern and produces more leg movement, appears to have a better impact on brain function than traditional aerobic exercise.

Aesthetic impression is emphasized in the recent field of implant restoration. However, there is limitation of creating proper shape of soft tissue as well as cervical emergence profile due to the use of pre-existing healing abutment in the process of initial post-operative soft tissue healing period. Designing the shape of abutment into the final customized abutment instead of its original shape helped to achieve more aesthetic implant restoration by applying healing abutment which could minimize the malposition and recession of soft tissue. In this study, soft tissue healing was promoted using the post-operative customized healing abutment and thereby obtained the result of more aesthetic and functional restoration by minimizing displacement of soft tissue in the process of applying final customized abutment.
