  • Phospholipase A$_2$(PLA$_2$) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of membrane glycerophospholipids to liberate arachidonic acid(AA), a precursor of eicosanoids including prostaglandins(PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs). The same reaction also produces lyso-phospholipids. So far, at least 19 enzymes that possess PLA2 activity have been identified, consists of low-molecular-weight, Ca$\^$2+/-requiring, secretory enzymes that have been implicated in a number of biological processes, such as modification of eicosanoid generation, inflammation, host defense, and atherosclerosis.

The questionnaires were sent to study samples(n=1,000) and answered by E-mail. Response rate was 37.0%. Results : Firstly, physical health ranked highest and self-perceived health ranked lowest. Secondly, health, anxiety, depression, and self-perceived health showed significant differences between the sexes, with women showing a higher health status in these categories except for self-perceived health. Thirdly, the two factors significantly related to self-perceived health were physical health and self-esteem, as determined by multivariate analysis, Conclusions : The factors significantly related to self-perceived health were physical health and self-esteem. Further studies of the health characteristics of young adults are needed.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 정상 성인에게 지상, 수중, 가상현실 운동을 실시하여 균형 능력과 근 활성도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아 보고자 한다. 연구 방법은 정상성인 48명을 대상으로 6주간 지상 운동그룹(n=16), 수중 운동그룹(n=16), 가상현실 운동그룹(n=16)을 시행 하였다. 측정 도구로 Biodex, TWT, EMG,를 사용 하였다. 결과는 운동 후 세 그룹 모두에서 균형 능력과 근 활성도가 운동전에 비해 운동 후 통계적으로 유의한 향상이 있었다(p<.05). 수중 운동그룹과 다른 두 그룹간의 유의한 차이가 있었지만, 지상 운동그룹과 가상현실 운동 그룹간 에는 유의한차이가 없었다(p<.05). 결론은 수중 운동이 지상 운동과 가상현실 운동 보다 균형 능력과 근 활성도 향상에 더 효과적인 중재 방법으로 사용되어질 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.
