This paper has proposed presumable method of ergonomics estimate index from evoked potential of visual stimulation for establishment a fixed ergonomics estimate index. The proposed method presumes continuance time and amplitude of ergonomics using prony method. Band characteristic of alpha and beta band, and that of background and evoked potential was analyzed using FFT method. And, that were presumed continuance time and amplitude of ergonomics using porny method. As a result of that proposed method presumed band characteristic, continuance time and amplitude of ergonomics, classification of ergonomics of impatient, rage and fear were practicable.

쇠고기의 저장 중 발생되는 부패취를 특수 관능기법인 R-index를 적용하여 부패취 검지분석을 하고, Pseudomonas 의 증식과 비교분석 하였다. 패널에게 사전훈련을 통하여 signal reference(37$^{\circ}C$, 48시간 동안 저장한 쇠고기)과 noise reference(-2$^{\circ}C$, 저장 시간이 없는 신선한 쇠고기)를 구별이 가능하도록 하였다. Stimuli samples(저장 온도 및 시간 별 쇠고기)와 noise reference를 같이 제공하여 부패취 발생 여부의 확신도에 따라 4가지 구간(signal sure(S), signal unsure(S?), noise unsure(N?), noise sure(N))으로 평가하게 하도록 하였다. 상온인 25$^{\circ}C$ 저장과 냉장 온도인 5$^{\circ}C$의 두가지 시료 모두 저장 시간이 증가함에 따라 R-index가 증가하였다. 25$^{\circ}C$의 경우 저장 36시간까지 급격한 변화를 보이다가 36시간 이후 완만한 변화를 보였으며, 5$^{\circ}C$는 전구간 매우 완만하게 점차적으로 변화하였다. 패널 개인별 Rindex가 유의수준 $\alpha$=0.05 및 $\alpha$=0.01에서의 경계점을 넘는 시점인 부패취 발생 검지시간을 구하였다. 부패취 발생 검지시간은 $\alpha$=0.05의 경우 25$^{\circ}C$에서 30.92${\pm}$3.47시간, 5$^{\circ}C$에서 169.80${\pm}$11.27시간, $\alpha$=0.01의 경우는 25$^{\circ}C$에서 34.80${\pm}$4.01시간, 5$^{\circ}C$에서 176.41${\pm}$9.89시간으로 산출되었다. 부패취가 발생되었다고 검지된 저장 시간의 Pesudomonas의 수는 저장 온도별 차이가 있었고, 부패하였다고 판단되는 6-7 log CFU/g에 근접한 수치였다. 이는 미생물이 쇠고기의 부패취 발생의 기여도는 있지만, 그 밖에 유통환경의 오염, 지방의 산패, 내인성 효소 등의 요인도 부패취 발생에 기여한다는 것을 시사한다.

Total spleen lymphocytes, lymphocyte proliferation, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in spleen lymphocyte culture were studied in malnourished Wistar rats fed with goat milk yoghurt. Malnourished rats were created by using standard feed restriction as much as 50% of normal rats for 21 d. Goat milk yoghurt containing three types of microorganism e.g., Lactobacillus acidophilus, Sterptococcus thermophilus and Bifidobacterium longum derived from Lacto-B culture in powder form. After 21 d, the rats continued to receive restricted feeding and supplemented with goat milk yoghurt for 7 d. Total splenocytes were counted by hemocytometer. Splenocytes proliferation was expressed as stimulation index, whereas the TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-10 of spleen lymphocyte culture were measured by ELISA technique. The total number of splenocytes and stimulation index of splenocytes in moderate malnourished and normal rats supplemented with goat milk yoghurt was not significantly different. The level of TNF-${\alpha}$ in the rat supplemented with goat milk yoghurt was lower (p<0.05) than the control group, whereas the level of IL-10 in the rat supplemented with goat milk yoghurt was higher (p<0.05) than the control group. In conclusion, goat milk yoghurt supplementation in malnourished rats could decrease TNF-${\alpha}$ as a representation of the pro-inflammatory cytokine, while it increases IL-10 as a representation of the anti-inflammatory cytokine.

In the present study, we expected the anti-tumor effect by combined treatment of arsenic trioxide and interferon (IFN)-${\alpha}$ on murine Lewis lung carcinoma (LL2) cells through in vivo study. As a experimental model, LL2 cells ($1{\times}10^{6}$/mouse) were injected subcutaneously into the back region of mice. When the tumor volume reached $100mm^3$, mice were treated with 1 mg/kg arsenic trioxide, 50000 IU IFN-${\alpha}$, or arsenic trioxide and IFN-${\alpha}$. The development of tumor cells was significantly inhibited by combined treatment with arsenic trioxide and IFN-${\alpha}$. In arsenic trioxide and IFN-${\alpha}$ treated group, apoptotic index was reached a peak valve at 48 hr after the treatment and it was restored to approximately the control level at 8 days. Also, positive signals of Bax and Bad were increased at 48 to 96 hr and decreased at 8 day. Whereas, positive cells of Bcl-2 were steadily decreased at 12 to 48 hr and restored to the background level at 8 days. Our data showed that immunoreactivity of Bcl-2 was decreased at 12 to 48 hr, while positive signals of Bax and Bad were increased in accordance with apoptotic index at these times. In conclusion, our results suggest that the combined treatment with arsenic trioxide and IFN-${\alpha}$ significantly inhibited the growth of LL2 tumor cells and induced apoptosis through the up and down-regulation of Bcl-2 gene family.

담수호인 영산호의 식물플랑크톤에 대한 광 제한과 영양염 제한의 영향을 파악하기 위해 2003년 3월부터 2004년 4월까지 (11월~12월제외) 월별조사를 실시하였다. 플랑크톤의 크기를 대형 (net-size)과 소형 (nano-size)으로 구분하여 콜로로필, pheopigment ratio를 측정하였고 물리화학적 환경특성을 측정하였다. 또한 광 제한 지수와 영양염 제한 지수를 산정하기 위해 기존 문헌의 수식을 이용하였다. 식물플랑크톤은 대형과 소형 모두 풍수기 특히 8월에는 낮은 현존량을 보였고 나머지 계절에 간헐적으로 현존량이 증가하는 형태를 보였다. 일조시간은 풍수기에 짧았고 갈수기에 증가하였고, 영양염 특히 인산염과 암모니아는 2004년 봄철에 상당 폭 증가하였다. 광 제한 8월에 최소값(0.01)을 기록하였고, 영양염 제한 지수는 5월과 9월을 제외하고 다소 높은 지수(>0.4)를 나타냈다. 영산호는 인곤 호소들보다 영양염 농도가 높은 점을 고려했을 때, 영양염 제한보다는 광 제한이 식물플랑크톤의 성장에 더 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다. 공간적으로는 광 제한 지수는 하류로 갈수록 증가하였지만 영양염 제한 지수는 큰 변동을 보이지 않았다. 상관성 분석에서 net-pheopigment index는 광 제한 지수 및 영양염 제한 지수와 음의 상관관계, nano-pheopigments index는 제한 지수들과 양의 상관관계를 보여 환경악화로 인한 영향이 식물플랑크톤의 크기별로 상이하게 나타날 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

Objectives : It was to translate three neck and spinal pain disability questionnaires - the Neck Disability Index (NDI), the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS), and the Functional Rating Index (FRI) - into Korean language, and evaluate the psychometric properties of Korean versions of questionnaires to achieve a good cross-cultural adaptation. Methods : Forty (23 males, 17 females) subjects aged from 15 to 64 years old, participated to examine test-retest reliability. One hundred and eighty (76 males, 104 females) subjects with a primary diagnosis of non-specific neck pain and 81 healthy volunteers were undertaken to examine internal consistemcy, discriminative validity and longitudinal construct validity. Versions of each questionnaire in idiomatic modern Korean were developed using a procedure proposed by Beaton et al. (2000). To assess reliability, the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC $_{(2,1)}$) was calculated. Internal consistency was evaluated by Cronbach's alpha. Discriminative validity was examined with independent-group t-tests. Responsiveness was tested by calculating the effect size and standardized response mean for each questionnaire and using Pearson' s r and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results : Test-retest reliability ofthe translated versions of the three disability questionnaires was excellent (ICC $_{(2,1)$ = 0.86-0.90). High internal consistency was found in the three disability questionnaires (Cronbach's alpha ranged from ${\alpha}=0.88$ for the FRI to ${\alpha}=0.96$ for the NPDS and 0.82 for the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire(SFMPQ)). the VAS subscale of the SFMPQ was found to be the most responsive of the subscales (ES=1.44, SRM=1.37). The VAS was also the most responsive pain and disability index in internal responsiveness analysis, although disability indices showed marginally better responsiveness when compared with external standards. No floor or ceiling effects were observed. Conclusions : It is concluded that the questionnaires were successfully translated and exhibit acceptable measurement properties, and may suggest that they are suitable for use in clinical and research application.

Recently, obesity that is increasingly becoming a major cause of various diseases and safety accidents in work places is emerging as a serious social problem. It is due to economic growth and improvement of living environments. Many researches are trying to find the root cause of obesity. Thus, the main objective of this study is to analyze obesity index of citizens in Seoul which is a metropolis of Korea and a densely populated district. The data used in this study included 179 men and 152 woman subjects who are living in Seoul. Somatotype using $R\ddot{o}hrer$ Index can be classified by 3 types (thin, standard, obesity). In order to analyze a detailed somatotype of citizens, age groups are divided into $30{\sim}34,\;35{\sim}39,\;40{\sim}49,\;and\;50{\sim}59$ years according to gender, respectively. In order to compare and analyze data, Coefficient of Variance, Cronbach's Alpha, $R\ddot{o}hrer$ Idex and Drop Value were used in this study. The results of this study can be applied to the comfortable and safe work environments for workers.

The purpose of this study was to determine reliability and validity of the Neck Disability Index (NDI) now in use for the first time in neck pain patients of Korea. Fifty subjects (26 males and24 female) with neck pain enrolled in the study. They completed a standardized self-administered questionnaire that include pain intensity, personal care, lifting, reading, headaches, concentration, work, driving, sleeping and recreation. Reliability was determined by intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha by internal consistency. Validity was examined by correlating the NDI scores to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. The Test-retest reliability of the translated versions of the NDI was good ICC (2,1) = .90 (95%CI .85 .95). Cronbach's alpha value for NDI was found to be .95 and this was statistically significant (p<.05). The criterion-related validity coefficients was .72 (p<.01). We conclude that the Korean version of NDI has shown to be a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of neck pain.

Purpose: This study verified the reliability and validity of the Diet Quality Index for Indian children (DQIIC). Methods: The study sample included 100 school going boys and girls (7-9 years). The dietary behavior of children was studied using a questionnaire and 24-hour dietary recall. The DQIIC comprises 21 items which aimed to assess the diet of Indian children on the basis of variety, adequacy of consumption of dietary components, and moderation in the amount of nutrients that are associated with diseases and dietary habits. The reliability of the DQIIC was assessed using the split half method, Cronbach's alpha, and test retest reliability. Content validity was evaluated using content validity ratio (CVR). Results: The intake of iron was found to be less than the recommended dietary allowances. There was frequent consumption of empty calorie packaged foods and higher than the recommended amount of sodium. Reliability of the DQIIC was 0.85 by split half method and the correlation coefficient for test retest reliability was 0.87. Cronbach's alpha was 0.62 and CVR was 0.85 for this index. Most of the children fell in the moderately healthy category. Conclusion: The DQIIC is a reliable and valid tool to assess the diet quality of Indian children between 7-9 years.
