Objective: This study was aimed at investigating the effects of lumbar stabilization exercise according to correct verbal instructions in pain and muscle strengthening of the low back pain patients. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: Twenty subjects with low back pain were selected. They were randomly assigned to one of two groups (10 in each group): namely the lumbar stabilization exercise and lumbar stabilization exercise according to the correct verbal instructions group. The lumbar stabilization exercise group performed lumbar stabilization exercises for 6 weeks (5 times a week). The lumbar stabilization exercise according to correct verbal instructions group performed lumbar stabilization exercise according to correct verbal instructions for 6 weeks (5 times a week). We measured pain, muscle power, proprioception, and body balance before and after exercise by using visual analog scale (VAS), digital handheld dynanometer, Joint repositioning error, time up and go test respectively. Results: We found statistically significant differences in pain, muscle power, proprioception, and body balance in lumbar stabilization exercise and lumbar stabilization exercise according to correct verbal instructions group, before and after (p<0.05). Conclusions: We confirmed the effect of lumbar stabilization exercise according to correct verbal instructions. Thus we thought these results could be used as basic data and reference for low back pain. But we need more study effect of correct verbal instructions on other exercises.

For decades, scientists and clinicians have examined methods of measuring scalp hair growth. There has been a greater need for reliable, economical and minimally invasive means of measuring hair growth and, specifically, response to Oriental medicine therapy. We review the various methods of measurement described to date, their limitations and value to the clinician. In our opinion, the potential of computer-assisted technology in this field is yet to be maximized and the currently available tools are less than ideal. The most valuable means of measurement at the present time are global photography and phototrichogram-based techniques (with digital image analysis). Subjective scoring systems are also of value in the overall assessment of response to therapy and these are under-utilized and merit further refinement.

최근 들어 정신적/신체적 질병을 치료하기 위해 음악을 많이 사용한다. 음악 치료의 수요가 늘어남에 따라 HCI, BCI, Music Therapy 등과 같은 음악의 성질과 생체신호간의 관계, 심리상태 변화 등에 관한 연구들이 많이 이뤄지고 있다. 또한 압축기술의 발달로 인하여 디지털 음원을 손쉽게 듣고 다닐 수 있으며, 생체 신호처리 이론, 생체 신호처리 장비 등이 발달함에 따라 디지털 음원을 이용하여 음악 치료 연구를 할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 이러한 디지털 음원이 음악치료 측면에서는 효과가 크지 않을 뿐만 아니라 오히려 악영향을 미친다는 내용이 방송/신문을 통해 기사화 되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 동일한 음원의 아날로그/디지털 음악으로 청감테스트를 진행하고, 생체신호(혈압, 심박수, 뇌파)를 측정하여 차이점을 비교/분석한다.

목 적: 양성자 치료는 DIPS (Digital Imaging Positioning System)를 이용하여 기준이 되는 DRR (Digital Reconstruction Radiography) 영상과 당일 치료 과정에서 얻은 X-ray 영상의 해부학적 구조를 비교하여 교정 값을 얻어 PPS (Patient Positioning System)를 교정 후 치료한다. PPS는 환자 셋업의 정확성을 위해 6방향(X축 Lateral, Y축 Longitudinal, Z축 Vertical, Rotation, Pitch, Roll)의 이동을 기반으로 움직인다. 따라서 DIPS의 교정 값과 PPS 움직임 구현성의 정확성 평가가 필요하다. 이에 자체 제작한 PPS QA 팬텀을 이용하여 PPS의 정확성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 환자의 해부학적 구조를 대신 할 납 볼이 부착된 PPS QA 팬텀을 기준점에 셋업 한다. 임의의 수치 값으로 PPS 6 방향의 움직임을 만들어 PPS QA 팬텀을 이동시킨다. DIPS로 얻은 교정 값을 적용 후 기준점과 기준점으로 돌아온 PPS QA 팬텀과의 교정 값이 허용 범위 내에 들어오는지 평가한다. 결 과: 기준점에 위치한 PPS QA 팬텀의 X축, Y축, Z축의 3개의 좌표를 함께 1 cm에서 5 cm까지 1 cm씩 이동한 후 기준점과의 평균 교정 값은 PPS 6축에서 각각 0.04 cm, 0.026 cm, 0.022 cm, $0.22^{\circ}$, $0.24^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$이다. PPS QA 팬텀의 6방향의 이동 좌표계를 모두 1과 2만큼 이동 시켰을 때 평균 교정 값은 1 이동 시 0.06 cm, 0.01 cm, 0.02 cm, $0.1^{\circ}$, $0.3^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$이었고, 2만큼 이동 시에 0.02 cm, 0.04 cm, 0.01 cm, $0.3^{\circ}$, $0.5^{\circ}$, $0^{\circ}$이었다. 결 론: 교정 값을 평가한 결과 Lateral, Longitudinal, Vertical의 경우 허용 범위인 0.5 cm Rotation, Pitch, Roll의 경우 허용 범위 $1^{\circ}$ 안에 모두 들어오는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 더욱 정확한 양성자 치료를 위해 DIPS의 이미지 질 개선과 DIPS 매칭 시스템의 발전 노력, 정기적인 장비 관리를 함으로써 현재 발생하는 기계적인 오차를 더욱 줄여나가야 하겠다.

Etoposide is a chemotherapeutic medication used to treat various types of cancer, including breast cancer. It is established that pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy can enhance the effects of anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents. In this study, we investigated whether PEMFs influence the anti-cancer effects of etoposide in MCF-7 cells and determined the signal pathways affected by PEMFs. We observed that co-treatment with etoposide and PEMFs led to a decrease in viable cells compared with cells solely treated with etoposide. PEMFs elevated the etoposide-induced PARP cleavage and caspase-7/9 activation and enhanced the etoposide-induced down-regulation of survivin and up-regulation of Bax. PEMF also increased the etoposide-induced activation of DNA damage-related molecules. In addition, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was slightly elevated during etoposide treatment and significantly increased during co-treatment with etoposide and PEMF. Moreover, treatment with ROS scavenger restored the PEMF-induced decrease in cell viability in etoposide-treated MCF-7 cells. These results combined indicate that PEMFs enhance etoposide-induced cell death by increasing ROS induction-DNA damage-caspase-dependent apoptosis.

High energy electron beams were to concentrically dose inside a tumor and more energy is a shape decreased of dose. Therefore, it is useful to radiation therapy of a tumor. Also high energy electron beams ionized into collision with a atom in structure material of tissue and it has big changes to dose distribution by multiple scattering. The study had to establish characteristic of electron beams from interaction of electron beams and materials. Experiment method was to measure dependence of electron beam central axis for depth dose curve, field flatness and symmetry and field size dependence. The results were able to evaluate data for a datum pint of electron beam. Also radiotherapy has to be considered for not only energy pencil of lines but characteristic, electron guide and isodose curves distribution.

To investigate anti-stress effects of Manual Kigong, Manual-Apparatus Combined Kikong, and Systemic Kigong, this experiments were performed changing of plasma catecholaminess and serum cortisol measured. Also using D.I.T.I(Digital Infrared Thermongraphy Imaging), Pulse Analyzer, Electric Current on Neurometer, and Digital Flicker on Testing-Stressed. And following results were abtained. 1) Menual-Appartus Combined Kikong decreased significantly increasing concentration of plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine level in Testing-stressed. 2) Manual Kigong decreased increasing concentration of serum cortisol level in Testing-stressed. 3) Manual Kigong and Manual-Aparatues Combined Kikong increased decreasing thermomerty on the palm's center caused Testing-stressed. 4) All of three treats are small change in SET(Systolic Ejection Time) by Pulse Analyzer caused Testing-stressed. 5) More changes of Electric Current on the Neurometer Diagnosis caused Testing-stressed are as followed. Manual-Apparatus Combined Kikong >Systemic Kigong >Manual Kigong From the results, it may be concluded that Manual-Apparatus Combined Kikong Theraphy having more anti-stress effects than Manual Theraphy. Systemic Kigong Therapy.
