Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate two subjects: the diagnostic value of bilateral lowering of electrical activity at point H4,5,6 of Ryodoraku and the mechanism for Ryodoraku phenomena. Methods : Electrical activities of Ryodoraku test and electrogastrography recorded simultaneously and monitored continuously from 16 cases of functional dyspeptic patients were collected and their variations were grouped by the topics of discussion which were peculiarity, stability, lagging, alterability, and anomaly. Ryodoraku recordings obtained from 6 patients with different gastrointestinal diseases and 1 normal healthy person were used as control. The results are discussed with Nakatani's suggestion, theory of sympathetic nerve and Meridian Principle, respectively. Finely, coincidence of stomach arrangement between anatomy and meridian system in Ryodoraku was also evaluated. Results : Time-course variation showed a regular relationship between the typical pattern of Ryodoraku at point H4,5,6 and gastric myoelectrical activity. However, an irregular relationship and atypical pattern of Ryodoraku occasionally appeared. A literature search suggested that electrical response at the Ryodoraku point H4,5,6 may be dependent on an afferent sympathetic spinal reflex transmitted from the stomach. However, there was no evidence for making clear whether bilateral lowering of electrical activity at this point was induced by hypofunction of local sympathetic nerve in the skin itself or of signals transmitted from the gastric sympathetic nerve or not. The coincidence of 19% could not provide a visceral arrangement of the stomach between anatomy and meridian systems. Conclusions : Bilateral lowering of electrical activity at Ryodoraku point H4,5,6 has value as a diagnostic index for gastric dysmotility of functional dyspepsia. This phenomenon is associated with spinal reflex transmitted from the afferent sympathetic nerve in the stomach but not that of meridian function.

The purpose of this study is (a) to estimate effective moment arms of quadriceps forces and (b) to compare the $d_e$ between the ACL-reconstructed and uninjured knees from the same individual. One female (20 yrs old, 2 yrs post-op, hamstring tendon autograft) and two males (22 yrs old, 2 yrs post-op; 28 yrs old, 4 yrs post-op; Patellar tendon autografts for both). Sagittal view radiographs were obtained for 6-7 different angles $(range\;5^{\circ}-110^{\circ})$ from each knee. The do was determined by the method of Chow et al. (1999a). The results showed that the maximum de values ranged from 4.61 to 5.59cm and 4.59 to 4.89cm for the ACL-reconstructed and uninjured knees, respectively. The maximum $d_e$ occurred between $35^{\circ}\;and\;50^{\circ}\;and\;20^{\circ}\;and\;50^{\circ}$ for the ACL-reconstructed and uninjured knees, respectively. The minimum do values ranged from 4.12 to 4.35 cm and 3.12 to 3.63cm for the ACL-reconstructed and uninjured knees, respectively. The effective moment arm of the knee extensor affects the loads on knee ligaments during knee-extension exercises. Because apparent differences in the moment arm of the quadriceps in different participants, it is very important to use personalized knee joint geometry for the computation of knee joint force. In the present study, no noticeable bilateral difference was found in the male subjects. However, apparent bilateral differences in de were observed in the female subject. This suggests that the effects of ACL reconstruction surgery on patellar mechanism deserve further investigation.

추골동맥의 기시부 변이의 다양성은 여러 문헌에서 보고되어 왔다. 그러나, 양측 추골동맥이 직접 대동맥궁으로부터 기시하는 변이는 매우 드물다. 이번 증례는 갑작스럽게 발생한 우측 편마비를 주소로 내원한 60세의 남자 환자에서 우연히 발견된 드문 양측 추골동맥 기시부의 변이를 보여준다. CT 혈관조영술에서 우측 추골동맥은 대동맥궁의 좌측 쇄골하정맥의 원위부에서 기시하였고, 좌측 추골동맥은 대동맥궁의 좌측 총경동맥과 쇄골하정맥의 사이에서 기시하였다. 이 변이와 연관이 있을 수 있는 발생학적인 기전도 고찰하였다. 추골동맥 기시부의 드문 변이의 가능성은 추골동맥이 일반적인 위치에서 보이지 않을 때 고려되어야 한다. 이 변이를 이해하는 것은 혈관 내 치료나 수술 중에 예기치 않은 합병증을 피하기 위해 중요하다.

냉전시대부터 존재해 온 국제 협정과 기구는 이와 비슷한 목표와 역할을 가지고 탈냉전시대에 탄생한 수많은 새로운 국제 협정과 기구들로부터 어떠한 영향을 받는가? 이 질문에 대해 일부 학자들은 부정적 영향을 받을 수 있다고 주장하고 있다. 이 연구는 냉전시대에 기원을 두고 있는 국제기구 중 하나인 WTO의 경우에는 어떠한지를 검토하는데 그 목표가 있다. 즉 WTO의 분쟁해결절차의 이용 혹은 제소 건수가 이 기구의 회원국들이 참여한 다자적, 혹은 양자적 FTA의 경험과 국제기구 경험으로부터 긍정적 영향을 받는지, 혹은 부정적 영향을 받는지를 분석하고 있다. 이 분석은, 일부 학자들의 주장과는 달리, WTO가 출범한 1995년부터 2016년까지 모든 회원국들을 분석 대상으로 할 때 그들의 FTA 경험이 WTO 제소 건수를 증가시키는 경향이 있고, 또 유럽연합의 개별 회원국들을 제외한 모든 WTO 회원국들을 분석대상으로 할 때 그들의 국제기구 경험도 WTO 제소 건수를 증가시키는 경향이 있다는 결과를 나타내고 있다.

연구목적 조현병 환자의 흔한 신경인지적 결함 중 대표적인 것으로 재인 기억의 손상을 들 수 있다. 또한 조현병 환자에게서는 일반인에게 관찰되는 정서 자극에 대한 기억 증진 현상이 명확하게 나타나지 않는다. 한편, 기억 검사 시행 전 양측성 안구운동을 수행할 경우 일반적인 재인 기억뿐만 아니라 정서가를 가진 자극에 대한 기억이 보다 향상되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 양측성 안구운동의 기억 향상 효과가 조현병 환자에게서도 나타나는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 조현병 환자 21명이 연구에 참여하였다. 참여자들은 일주일 간격으로 두 번 분노 표정 혹은 무표정을 보이는 얼굴 사진들을 학습한 후 양측성 안구운동 혹은 안구 고정 조건을 무작위 순서로 거쳐 이전에 학습한 사진에 대한 재인 과제를 시행하였다. 양측성 안구운동 여부 및 얼굴 사진 표정 차이에 따른 인식 정확도, 반응 편향성, 정답 반응 시간의 차이를 이원 반복측정 분산분석을 사용하여 분석하였다. 결 과 조현병 환자는 양측성 안구운동을 시행한 경우 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 통계적으로 유의미하게 얼굴 재인 과제에서 정답 반응 시간이 단축되었고(F=5.812, p<0.05), 반응 편향성이 완화되었다(F=10.366, p<0.01). 조현병 환자가 얼굴 재인 과제 수행 시 양측성 안구운동 조건과 얼굴 자극 표정 조건 간의 상호작용은 통계적으로 유의미하지 않았다. 결 론 본 연구 결과는 양측성 안구운동이 조현병 환자의 일반적인 재인 기억 능력을 촉진시킬 수 있으나 정서 자극의 처리를 보다 촉진시키지는 못함을 보여준다. 향후 신경생리학적 혹은 신경영상학적 검사 등의 추가 연구를 통해 이러한 기억 촉진 효과의 생물학적 기전을 밝혀야 할 것이다.

An attempt was made to investigate the effect of intracerebroventricular 5-hydroxytrypatamine (5-HT) on the cardiovascular system in urethane-anesthetized rabbit and to elucidate the mechanism of its action. 5-HT given into a lateral ventricle caused clearly a dose-dependent decrease inboth arterial blood pressure and in heart rate. The bradycardia and hypotension induced by 5-HT were significantly attenuated by the prior injection of ketanserin, cyproheptadine or clonidine. Pretreatment of atropine with bilateral vagotomy did not affect both bradycardia and hypotension. Propranolol weakened markedly the breadcardia of 5-HT but did not influence the depressor response of 5-HT. These experimental results suggest that intraventricular 5-HT cause the hypotension and bradyardia in rabbits through the stimulation of serotonergic receptors in brain, which is seemed to be associated to inhibition of sympathetic tone.

Bilateral lesion of nucleus accumbens septi (N, AB), one of the mesolimbic nuclei, resulted in hyperirritability and muricide including mouse eating behavior in rats. The effects of various drugs on hyperirritability and muricide induced by NAB lesion were investigated in rats. Hyperirritability in NAB rats were significantly reduced by L-DOPA L-5-HTP major and minor tranquilizers but not reduced by MA, ATP and imipriamine-like antidepressants. On the other hand, muricide in NAB rats was significantly suppressed by L-DOPA, L-5-HTP, major and minor tranquilizers, furthermore, selectively suppressed by MA, ATP and antidepressants. These results suggested that the neural mechanism for inducing muricide is distinct from for hyperirritability in NAB rats, and that muricide in NAB rats is resulted from the increasing of cholinergic activity and reduction of dopaminergic and serotonergic activity.

We report a case of hydrocephalus in a 8-year-old boy who presented bilateral hand tremor. The hydrocephalus was caused by the aqueductal stenosis due to expanding lacunae in the mesencephalothalamic area on MR findings. The tremor was improved after CSF drainage by spinal tap and ventriculoperitoneal shunt. The authors present the possible mechanism of hydrocephalus induced tremor.

In an electricity market, the spot market is normally integrated with a forward or future market. The advantage of the forward market is to allow the market participants to deal in a part or the whole trading portfolio at a fix price in advance and to avoid risk associated to the uncertain price of the spot market. Japan has introduced a continuous auction base forward market from April 2005. This paper analyzes the Japanese forward market rules and operations, and introduces a new algorithm that may improve the efficiency of the market itself. The proposed algorithm enables us to give consideration to the specific characteristics of the power system and to integrate them in the auction mechanism. The benefits of the proposed algorithm are verified on an electronic simulation platform and the results described in this paper.

Dural injury during spinal surgery can subsequently give rise to a remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH). Although the incidence of such injury is low, the resulting hemorrhage can be life threatening. The mechanism underlying the formation of the hemorrhage is not known, but it is mostly thought to develop after venous infarction. Cerebellar mutism (CM) is a frequent complication of posterior fossa operations in children, but it is rarely seen in adults. The development of CM after an RCH has not been described. We describe the case of a 65-year old female who lost cerebrospinal fluid after inadvertent opening of the dura during surgery. Computerized tomography performed when the patient became unable to speak revealed a bilateral cerebellar hemorrhage.
