Abdominal circumference changes due to breathing by the respiratory muscle activity such as diaphragm, which would partially represent the lung volume variation. The present study introduced conductive rubber molded in a cord shape incorporated with a patient's pants. The conductive rubber cord operated as a displacement transducer to measure the lung or abdominal volume changes. Signal extraction circuitry was developed to obtain the volume and its derivative(or the flow) signals followed by wireless transmission based on the Zigbee communication protocol in a size of $65mm{\times}105mm$ easily put in pocket. Breathing frequency was accurately evaluated and breath pattern analysis seemed feasible, since respiratory behaviours such as maximal inspiration and cough were well identified. Remote wireless receiver module also enabled to monitor both volume and flow signals during resting breathing on a PC terminal.

Incurable disease such as palsy and imbecility results from bolld pressure and bloodstream hitch. These diseases result in high blood pressure and brain bloodstream obstacle. So, we developed bloodstream improvement system that can improve bloodstream state using physical stimulation. It controls inflow and outflow of air to press and oppress human body sequentially. We can select stimulation region, pattern, pressure and time. Also, it can improve brain bloodstream state, because it can treat stress or headache putting pressure band on head. It can be used as breathing assistance system which has function for breath synchronization.

Background: Research efforts to improve the pulmonary function of people with limited chest function have focused on the diaphragmatic ability to control breathing pattern. Real-time ultrasonography is appropriate to demonstrate diaphragmatic mechanism during breathing. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of diaphragmatic breathing training using real-time ultrasonographic imaging (RUSI) on the chest function of young females with limited chest mobility. Methods: Twenty-six subjects with limited chest mobility were randomly allocated to the experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) depending on the use of RUSI during diaphragmatic breathing training, with 13 subjects in each group. For both groups, diaphragmatic breathing training was performed for 30-min, including three 10-min sets with a 1-min rest interval. An extra option for the EG was the use of the RUSI during the training. Outcome measures comprised the diaphragmatic excursion range during quiet and deep breathing, pulmonary function (forced vital capacity; FVC, forced expiratory volume in 1-sec; FEV1, tidal volume; TV, and maximal voluntary ventilation; MVV), and chest circumferences at upper, middle, and lower levels. Results: The between-group comparison revealed that the diaphragmatic excursion range during deep breathing, FVC, and middle and lower chest circumferences were greater at post-test and that the changes between the pretest and post-test values were greater in the EG than in the CG (p<.05). In addition, the subjects in the EG showed increased post-test values for all the variables compared with the pretest values, except for TV and MVV (p<.05). In contrast, the subjects in the CG showed significant improvements for the diaphragmatic excursion range during quiet and deep breathings, FVC, FEV1, and middle and lower chest circumferences after the intervention (p<.05). Conclusion: These results indicate that using RUSI during diaphragmatic breathing training might be more beneficial for people with limited chest mobility than when diaphragmatic breathing training is used alone.

심전도에 의한 R-R 간격변동은 자율신경계의 기능을 검사하는데 매우 유용하고 또한 교감 신경계와 부교감신경계의 가능을 정량적으로 알아낼 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 특히, 당뇨병질환에 있어서 자율신경계의 dysfunction현상을 고찰하는데 매우 유용할 것으로 기대된다(Fig.5 참조). 그러나 임상에 직접 적용시켜온 바로는 기립시, 심호흡시에 발생되는 근전도에 의한 잡음이 간혹 발생되는 경우가 있는데 이것은 전극접착법과 무선송신기에 의해 제거될 것으로 기대되며 향후의 과제로 남아있다.

연구배경 : Airway resistance 측정시 panting 방법은 비정상적인 호흡패턴으로 환자에 따라서는 수행이 어렵고 quiet breathing 방법은 더욱 생리적인 호흡상태하에서 측정이 가능하다. 과거에는 주로 panting을 이용하였으나 최근에는 quiet breathing을 이용하는 추세로 본 연구에서는 panting 및 quiet breathing시에 airway resistance를 측정하여 이를 비교하였다. 방법 : 정상대조군 및 호흡기질환군을 대상으로 유량기량곡선을 측정하고, body plethysmograph를 이용하여 airway resistance를 quiet breathing과 panting시에 각각 측정하였다. 결과: 1) Quiet breathing과 panting시 측정한 airway resistance는 높은 상관관계를 보였다(Raw tot; 0.887, Raw 0.5; 0.921, p<0.05). 2) Panting시 quiet breathing에 비하여 Raw tot는 21.2%. Raw 0.5는 22.1%의 감소율을 보였으며, Inspiratory와 expiratory Resistance의 측정이 가능하였던 경우 Raw insp은 29.3%, Raw exp은 40.6%의 감소율을 보였다. 3) Panting시 airway resistance의 감소율은 호흡기질환군보다 대조군에서 더 컸다. 4) Panting시 specific airway conductance가 유의하게 증가되었으므로 airway resistance의 감소는 thoracic gas volume의 차이와는 관련이 없었다. 5) Panting시 quiet breathing에 비하여 airway resistance가 감소하지 않는 환자는 비교적 airway resistance가 커서 panting을 잘 수행하지 못하는 환자로 추정된다. 결론 : Airway resistance 측정시 환자의 수행능력에 따라 quiet breathing 혹은 panting 방법을 이용할 수 있으나 panting시 quiet breathing보다 결과가 약 20% 감소됨을 고려하여야 하며, 정상군 및 폐질환군에서 panting보다 quiet breathing이 airway resistance를 측정하는 더 좋은 방법으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the influence of respiration on the segmental motion of the lumbar spine in the lying position. Methods: Twelve healthy females without a history of low back pain participated. Lumbosacral lordosis, intervertebral body angles, intervertebral body displacements, and anterior heights of the intervertebral disc of the lumbar spine were measured at inspiration, expiration and forced expiration in the supine and prone positions via fluoroscopy. Results: The results of lumbar kinematic analysis in the supine position according to respiration pattern were as follows. The L4/5 intervertebral body angle was significantly higher at forced expiration than at expiration (p<0.05). The L3/4 anterior height of the intervertebral disc was significantly higher at expiration than at forced inspiration and the L5/S1 anterior height of the intervertebral disc was significantly higher at inspiration than at forced expiration (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the intervertebral body displacements and lumbosacral lordosis in the supine position (p>0.05). The results of lumbar kinematic analysis in the prone position according to respiration pattern were as follows. The L5/S1 anterior height of the intervertebral disc was significantly higher at inspiration than at forced expiration (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the intervertebral body angle, the intervertebral body displacements, and the lumbosacral lordosis (p>0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggested that respiration can affect the intervertebral body angle and anterior height of the intervertebral disc in some segments. The results from this study serve as a step in the development of guidelines for lumbar kinematic analysis for lumbar breathing training.

Objectives : The objective is that we measure and analyze Pulse-Respiration Ratio and Body Composition Analysis to study the correlation between both. Methods : First, after subjects take a rest over 10 minutes, we measure their electrocardiogram and respiration pattern through which we take average peak interval to calculate an average pulse cycle and a respiration cycle. An average respiration cycle divided by an average Pulse Rate gives Pulse-Respiration Ratio. Next, we draw out 22 Body Composition Analysis indicators by using In-Body 720 model. Last, we analyze and take statistics on them by using SPSS 13.0 program. Results : Negative is the correlation between P/R Ratio and Body Composition Analysis indicator like fatness degree, body fat volume, body fat rate, abdominal fatness, BMI. Conclusions : 1. The higher P/R Ratio the more likely to be thin, the lower P/R Ratio the more likely to be fat. 2. We separately analyze P/R Ratio depending on each breathing frequency and pulse frequency to find out that breathing frequency has great influence and that breathing frequency decides the fatness degree. 3. In study on the correlation between P/R Ratio and Body Composition Analysis, fatness degree, in-body fat volume, in-body fat rate, BMI are the related indicators, which shows the connection with the fatness indicators. 4. In study on the correlation between Han-Yeol [寒熱] grade and Body Composition Analysis indicators, the result is that Han[寒] has no connection and that only Yeol[熱] grade has something to do with it, which means the higher heat symptom subjects have, the more basic metabolism volume and muscular build they have.

Pierre Robin syndrome is characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis, and cleft palate. Infants with Pierre Robin syndrome causes feeding difficulty, upper airway obstruction, and other symptoms. This study aims to examine the effects of applying dysphagia treatment to infants with Pierre Robin syndrome. The study participant was an infant who was born four weeks premature and referred for dysphagia treatment approximately 100 days after birth. At the initial assessment, the infant showed oral sensory sensitivity, a high level of facial and masticatory muscle tension, and a low stability of the chin and cheeks with almost no normal "sucking-swallowing-breathing" pattern. We set the baseline period and intervention period using the AB design. During the baseline period, non-nutritive sucking training using a rubber nipple was conducted without implementing an oral stimulation intervention. During the intervention period, non-nutritive sucking training and an oral stimulation intervention were performed. After the intervention period, the infant's daily oral intake and oral intake per time significantly increased compared to that during the baseline period. We observed that the oral intake time of the infant decreased during the intervention period compared to that in the baseline period, which indicated an improvement in control over the chin, tongue, and lip movements, a change in muscular tension, and stabilization of the "sucking-swallowing-breathing" pattern. We provided dysphagia treatment before breastfeeding, it was positive effects such as normal development of the infant, transition from tube feeding to bottle feeding, and enhancement of overall oral motor function.
