이 논문은 노령견이 필요한 영양을 다루며, 노령견이 필요로 하는 영양평가를 검토하고, 노령화와 관련하여 흔히 발생할 수 있는 영양의 문제점들을 등을 제시하고자 한다. 즉, 이연구의 목표는 노령견의 노령화와 관련된 생리적인 변화, 필수영양소 및 그와 관련된 질병을 탐구하는데 있다. 2002년의 조사에 의하면, 미국에서 기르는 반려견의 30%-40%는 나이가 7세이상이라고 한다. 유렵의 경우 1983년과 1995년을 비교했을 때 나이가 7세이상의 반려견의 수는 약 50% 늘었다고 한다. 2012에 미국에서 실시한 이메일 조사에 의하면, 50,347명의 응답자 중에서 33.2%가 6살-10살의 노령견을 기르고 있으며, 11살이상의 노령견을 기르는 응답자는 14.7%라고 한다. 가정에서 기르는 반려견의 평균수명은 건강관리, 노령화 및 영양에 영향을 받는다. 그리고 견종, 유전, 영양, 환경 등의 요소에 따라서 노령화의 정도가 다르다. 10살이 넘은 많은 반려견들이 활력이 넘치고 건강하다고 할지라도, 대부분의 반려견들은 5세-6세가 되면, 노령화와 관련된 징조를 보이기 시작한다. 여러가지 질병을 치유할 수 있는 의학의 발달과 영양의 발달로 인하여, 반려견의 평균수명은 점점 증가하고 있다. '노령견을 위한 영양의 목표'는 노령견이 건강하고 활력 넘치게 하며, 노령과 관련된 건강상의 문제가 늦게 시작되고, 노령화를 지연시키며, 삶의 질을 향상시키며, 기대수명을 늘리는데 있다. 노령화는 생리적인 변화를 가져온다. 우리가 육안으로 명백하게 느낄 수 있는 변화들은 털의 색깔이 하얗게 변하는 것, 몸의 기력이 떨어는 것, 시각이나 청각 등의 감각기관에 문제가 오는 것 등이 있으며, 표면적으로 느끼기 어려운 변화들은 소화관, 면역시스템, 신장 등 장기와 관련된 생리적인 변화들이다. 반려견이 필요로 하는 영양은 나이에 따라서 다르다. 또한 노령화가 진행됨에 따라서 발생할 수 있는 영양과 관련된 많은 질병들이 있으며, 이러한 질병에는 영양이 매우 중요하다.

Women in their 30s and 40s, who are at the center of "ageless" and "down-aging" consumer trends, are likely to encounter problems with fitting and size conformity when they wear casual clothes targeting women in their 20s. Hence, differences in upper body sizes and body types between women in their 20s and women in their 30s and 40s were analyzed. The data for this study was from the 6th Size Korea survey of body measurements of 1,675 female adults in their 20s-40s. SPSS 21.0 for Windows was used for analysis of the collected data. To examine differences in average upper body size between women in their 20s and women in their 30s and 40s, descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests were conducted. Factor and cluster analyses were used to classify body types by age groups. Comparing direct measurement items showed that women in their 20s tend to have higher average values for most height-related items-including body height-and lower average values for circumference, thickness, and width than women in their 30s and 40s. Factors in determining the upper body shapes of women in their 20s to 40s were narrowed to five; through a cluster analysis, upper body shapes of women were classified into three body types as follows. Type 1 women are shorter and thinner with small frames; Type 2 women have the highest vertical values for their upper bodies and average values for obesity-related categories of circumference, thickness, and width. Type 3 women are the shortest and has the highest body mass index (BMI), verifiable as obese. By analyzing differences in body type distribution according to age groups, it was found that more than 90% of women in their 20s belong to Types 1 and 2. On the other hand, most women in their 30s and 40s are identified as Type 3.

이 글은 2000년대에 접어들어 제작이 활발해진 노인영화의 핵심적인 특징을 환몽구조로 파악한다. 그리고 <수상한 그녀>를 중심으로 '현실-꿈(비현실)-현실'의 환몽구조가 작품에 구현된 양상과 의미를 고전소설 "금오신화"와 비교해 살펴본다. <수상한 그녀>에서 환몽구조가 구현되는 양상은 1)인물과 공간의 이중성, 2)현실과 비현실의 경계 넘나들기로 요약된다. 이 영화에서 며느리와의 불화, 요양원 입원 등으로 괴로워하던 70대 할머니 오말순은 20대 오두리로 변신했다가 오말순으로 돌아온다. 오말순은 20대 처녀라는 꿈(비현실)의 세계를 경험한 후 내면의 변화를 겪고, 새로운 인물로 거듭난다. 이때 꿈의 세계가 현실 세계안에서 펼쳐지는 점이 일반적인 판타지영화의 환몽구조와 다르다. <수상한 그녀>는 환몽구조를 통해 인물의 갈등 해소와 소망 실현, 정신적 재탄생의 과정을 표현하고 있다. 이러한 특징은 치매 노인이 등장하는 <장수상회>에서도 유사하게 나타난다. 노인영화는 환몽구조의 보편성과 고령화 사회의 시대적 특수성을 동시에 수용하고 있는 것이다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTS: When the functions involved in the ingestion of food occurs failure, not only loss of enjoyment of eating, it will be faced with protein-energy malnutrition. Dysmasesis and difficulty of swallowing occurs in various diseases, but it may be a major cause of aging, and elderly people with authoring and dysmasesis and difficulty of swallowing in the aging society is expected to increase rapidly. SUBJECTS/METHODS: In this study, we carried out a survey targeting nutritionists who work in elderly care facilities, and examined characteristics of offering of foods for elderly and the degree of demand of development of easily chewable and swallowable foods for the elderly who can crush foods and take that by their own tongues, and sometimes have difficulty in drinking water and tea. RESULTS: In elderly care facilities, it was found to provide a finely chopped food or ground food that was ground with water in a blender for elderly with dysmasesis. Elderly satisfaction of provided foods is appeared overall low. Results of investigating the applicability of foods for elderly and the reflection will of menus, were showed the highest response rate in a gelification method in molecular gastronomic science technics, and results of investigating the frequent food of the elderly; representative menu of beef, pork, white fish, anchovies and spinach, were showed Korean barbecue beef, hot pepper paste stir fried pork, pan fried white fish, stir fried anchovy, seasoned spinach were the highest offer frequency. CONCLUSIONS: This study will provide the fundamentals of the development of easily chewable and swallowable foods, gelification, for the elderly. The study will also illustrate that, in the elderly, food undergone gelification will reduce the risk of swallowing down to the wrong pipe and improve overall food preference.

Rhamnose-rich (RROP-s) and fucose-rich (FROP-s) oligo-and polysaccharides were prepared and extensively characterised by physical and chemical procedures [1,2] and compared to L-fucose. Their biological properties were then studied on human skin fibroblast cell cultures, human skin explant cultures and on hairless rat skin, using a variety of cell-biological, biochemical and computerised morphometrical procedures. Among the most important properties we could establish, the following are of particular interest for the tretment and prevention of age-dependent modifications of human skin (loss of skin-tissue, cells and matrix, wrinkle formation and others) : stimulation of cell proliferation (by $^3$[H]-thymidine incorporation and the MTT test), scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) using several different procedures, and protease (MMP-2 and MMP-9) down-regulation. A topical preparation, using RROP-s and FROP-s, and/or L-fucose, was shown to increase cell proliferation, dermal matrix synthesis, efficient scavenging of ROS-s and to increase also the thickness of dermal tissue when applied for 4 weeks on hairless rat skin, accompanied by the densification of collagen bundles as well as by an increase of elastin synthesis. Using fluorescent labeled FROPs, it could be shown that these oligosaccharides react with cell-membrane receptors and especially with the elastin-laminin-receptor and the fucose-mannose receptor, but they penetrate also in the cell nucleus, suggesting the possibility of a direct action on the regulation of gene expression. When applied to the human skin of a team of voluntary women encompassing all age-groups, the efficiency of FROP-containing preparation could be confirmed using indentometry and computerised evaluation of skin micro-relief, as well as evaluation of periorbital wrinkles. It appears therefore that these preparations correspond to all the requirements of active anti-aging principles.

positron annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy has been extensively applied in recent years to investigate the free volume in polymers owing to the capability of the electron-positron bound system (positronium) to probe the typical size of sub-nanometric cavities among the macromolecular chains. In this paper we show recent results obtained through this technique in some amorphous polymeric mem-branes(olyurethanes. PUs and polytrimethilsylilpropine PTMSP) after a brief survey of the general features of the annihilation process as well as of the experimental apparatus. Lifetime of o-ps decay({{{{ tau _3}}}}) in PUs increases going from sub {{{{ TAU _g}}}} to over {{{{ TAU _g}}}} temperatures following a sigmoid curve. The coefficient of dilatation of the free volume fraction is shown to be the sum of two contributes due to the variation with T of the number of holes and of their mean volume. PAL spectrum of PTMSP freshly prepared shows four lifetime components: {{{{ tau _3}}}} and {{{{ tau _4}}}}: only are useful for free volume study. Two kinds of holes of different equivalent radius are reported ({{{{ gamma _s}}}} 4.60 nm and {{{{ gamma _1}}}} 0.754) The equivalent volume does not change in a range of 100 K. however the physical aging increases density and decreases oxygen permeability while {{{{ gamma _s}}}} goes down to 0.374 and r1 to 0.735 The number of holes obtained from the intensities{{{{ IOTA _3}}}} and {{{{ IOTA _4}}}} of PAL spectra decreases with aging 21.7% and 3.5% for large and small holes respectively.

Social activities of the elderly have been increasing as our society progresses toward an aging society. As their activities increase, so does the occurrence of falls that could lead to fractures. Falls are serious health hazards to the elderly. Therefore, development of a device that can detect fall accidents and prevent fracture is essential. In this study, we developed a portable fall detection system for the fracture prevention system of the elderly. The device is intended to detect a fall and activate a second device such as an air bag deployment system that can prevent fracture. The fall detection device contains a 3-axis acceleration sensor and two 2-axis tilt sensors. We measured acceleration and tilt angle of body during fall and activities of daily(ADL) living using the fall detection device that is attached on the subjects'. Moving mattress which is actuated by a pneumatic system was used in fall experiments and it could provide forced falls. Sensor data during fall and ADL were sent to computer and filtered with low-pass filter. The developed fall detection device was successful in detecting a fall about 0.1 second before a severe impact to occur and detecting the direction of the fall to provide enough time and information for the fracture preventive device to be activated. The fall detection device was also able to differentiate fall from ADL such as walking, sitting down, standing up, lying down, and running.

Glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3), an antioxidant enzyme, acts as a modulator of redox signaling, has immunomodulatory function, and catalyzes the detoxification of reactive oxygen species (ROS). GPx3 has been identified as a tumor suppressor in many cancers. Although hyper-methylation of the GPx3 promoter has been shown to down-regulate its expression, other mechanisms by which GPx3 expression is regulated have not been reported. The aim of this study was to further elucidate the mechanisms of GPx3 regulation. GPx3 gene analysis predicted the presence of ten glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) on the GPx3 gene. This result prompted us to investigate whether GPx3 expression is regulated by the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which is implicated in tumor response to chemotherapy. The corticosteroid dexamethasone (Dex) was used to examine the possible relationship between GR and GPx3 expression. Dex significantly induced GPx3 expression in H1299, H1650, and H1975 cell lines, which exhibit low levels of GPx3 expression under normal conditions. The results of EMSA and ChIP-PCR suggest that GR binds directly to GRE 6 and 7, both of which are located near the GPx3 promoter. Assessment of GPx3 transcription efficiency using a luciferase reporter system showed that blocking formation of the GR-GRE complexes reduced luciferase activity by 7-8-fold. Suppression of GR expression by siRNA transfection also induced down-regulation of GPx3. These data indicate that GPx3 expression can be regulated independently via epigenetic or GR-mediated mechanisms in lung cancer cells, and suggest that GPx3 could potentiate glucocorticoid (GC)-mediated anti-infla-mmatory signaling in lung cancer cells.
