Obesity is one of causes of the all adult diseases. We investigated the body weight decrease effect of the selected plants by digestive enzyme activity inhibition test. In a preliminary test, Inonotus obliquus and Rubus coreanus Miq. were found to be effective. Based on this result & previous result, we manufactured the mixture of plant extracts named as Misol$^{TM}$. Misol is applied anti-obesity beverage and rice. When we administered Miso/ sub TM/ to rats, it was found to be effective in body weight decrease. Result that is experimented during 20 weeks, is effective body weight and total cholesterol, triglyceride decrease. In case of human, anti-obesity beverage administered group showed 5.65% body weight decrease, 4% waist length decrease and 6% abdomen length decrease respectively. And anti-obesity rice administered group showed 2.3 kg body weight decrease, 2.9 cm waist length decrease and 3.74 cm abdomen length decrease respectively. This body control effect was supported by plant extracts in the Misol, anti-obesity beverage and rice - administered group. From these results, we suggest that this functional food could be helpful for body weight controlling obesity.

Two different animal models, which differ in whether or not taking maternal genetic effect into account, for estimating genetic parameters of cashmere weight, live body weight, cashmere thickness, staple length, fiber diameter, and fiber length in Inner Mongolia White Cashmere Goat were compared via likelihood ratio test. The results indicate that maternal genetic effect has significant influence on live body weight and cashmere thickness, but no significant influence on the other traits. Using models suitable for each trait, both genetic parameters and trends were analyzed with the MTDFREML program. Heritability estimates from single trait models for cashmere weight, live body weight, cashmere thickness, staple length, fiber diameter and fiber length were found to be 0.30, 0.07, 0.21, 0.29, 0.28 and 0.21, respectively. Genetic correlation estimates from two-trait models between live body weight and all other traits (-0.06~0.07) was negligible, as were those between fiber diameter and all other traits (-0.01~0.03) except cashmere thickness (0.19). Cashmere weight and staple length had moderate to low genetic correlations with other traits (-0.24~0.39 and -0.24~0.34, respectively) except for live body weight and fiber diameter. Cashmere thickness had a strong genetic correlation with fiber length (0.81), and low genetic correlation with other traits (0.19~0.34) except live body weight. Genetic trend analysis suggests that selection for cashmere weight was very effective, which has led to the slow genetic progress of cashmere thickness and fiber length due to their genetic correlations with cashmere weight. The selection for live body weight was not effective, which was consistent with its low inheritability.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the differences of visual effects by variations in the number of pleats and the length of the pleats skirt. The stimuli are 18 samples: 6 variations of the number of pleats and 3 variations of the length of skirt. The data has been obtained from 54 fashion design majors. The data has been analyzed by Factor Analysis, Anova, Scheffe's Test and the MCA method. The results of the study are as follows: The visual effects by the number of pleats and the length of skirt are composed of 3 factors : vertical of lower body, curves of lower body and shape abdomen. In these factors, vertical factor is estimated by the most important factor. The visual effect is positive when the number of pleats is added and the length of skirt is getting shorter. The short length of skirt and more pleats make legs and calves looked long and slim. The interaction effects between the number of pleats and the length of skirt do not appear. In the vertical of low body factor, the length of skirt is more effective than the number of pleats, and in the curve of low body factor, the number of pleats has more effects than the length of the skirt. In the shape of abdomen, the number of pleats and length of skirt have similar influences.

LED 광원이 느티만가닥버섯 재배에 미치는 영향을 알기 위하여 6종의 파장이 다른 NUV(wave length 405nm), blue(wave length 460nm), green(wave length 530nm), yellow(wave length 590 nm), red(wave length 630nm), white(wave length 6500K) 광을 조사하면서 균사 생장 및 자실체 생육과 수량을 조사하였다. 1. 느티만가닥버섯균의 균사 생장에는 광이 필요하지 않지만, red 광 처리구에서 암조건과 비슷한 균사 생장을 보였다. 그러나 blue, green, yellow 광 처리구에서는 암배양보다 약 30~40%의 균사 생장 저해를 보였다. 2. LED 광이 느티만가닥버섯의 자실체 생육에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 암조건에서는 자실체 발달이 안 되는 경우도 있으므로, 느티만가닥버섯의 자실체 생육에는 광 조사가 꼭 필요하다. 단파장인 blue와 green광, 복합광인 white을 조사한 처리구에서 자실체 갓과 대 발달이 안정적이면서 수량이 우수하였다. 장파장인 red 와 yellow 광 처리구에서는 갓 발달과 색택이 불량하고, 대는 길고 꼬임 등의 기형을 보였다. 3. 단일광 조사만으로는 우수한 품질의 버섯을 안정적으로 생산하기 어렵고, 각 생육 단계마다 효과가 있는 광을 조사하는 것도 어렵다. blue와 green, white, red 광을 조합하여 생육 기간 동안 혼합광을 조사하여 갓과 대의 균일성 및 갓 색택, 수량을 분석한 결과, 가장 이상적인 LED 광 조합은 blue와 white 광이었다.

Background : Treadmill training has been proposed as a useful adjunct to conventional physical therapy to restore ability to walk after stroke. The purpose of this study to inform clinical practise by evaluating the research evidence for the effectiveness of treadmill training after stroke. Methods : We searched to the effectiveness of any form of intervention for effect of treadmill training by Dankook University electronic library databases of Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Amed and PEDro combined with a hand search of papers published in relevant peer-reviewed journals. Any type of study relevant to the topic published in English during time period from 1980 to 2007 was included. Results : The literature search identified 35 studies. The included studies enrolled a total of 374 subjects. 1. Treadmill retraining without partial body weight support might be more effective than no treatment at improving gait velocity, get up and go time, gait endurance and step length symmetry. 2. Treadmill retraining with partial body weight support might be more effective than no treatment in improving step length symmetry, gait velocity, gait endurance and balance. 3. Treadmill retraining might be more effective with partial body weight support than without it at improving gait velocity and motor improvement as measured by The Stroke Rehabilitation Assessment of Movement(STREAM). 4. Treadmill retraining without partial body weight support may be no different from physiotherapy and increase gait velocity to conventional gait therapy. 5. Treadmill retraining with partial body weight support may be no different from physiotherapy for gait velocity, motor recovery and balance. Conclusion The review suggests that although treadmill training of gait, especially with partial body weight support, might Improve gait parameters and functional mobility, unless treadmill training is directed at Improving gait speed it might be no more effective than conventional physical therapy at improving gait parameters.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of balance training on gait stability. The study population included 17 male high school students who were divided into 3 groups, each of which underwent one of the following types of balance-training programs for 8 weeks: 1 foot standing on cushion foam, trunk muscle training, and inverted body position training. 0, 4, and 8 weeks, the following experiment was performed: The participants were asked to close their eyes and take 17 steps; the stability of forward and sideward movement was determined, and the direction linearity was measured. The results revealed that all the training programs caused a decrease in stride deviation and an increase in the and the stride length, thereby improving the stability of forward movement. All the programs decreased the variation in step width and were thus also effective in improving the stability of sideward movement. The inverted body position training program was considered very effective because the cross point appeared on post hoc graphic analysis after 4 weeks, and the deviation length for 10 m was low, i.e., below 4 cm. All the programs were effective with respect to direction linearity because they decreased the deviation in direction widths. The results indicate that whole-body neurocontrol training is more effective than simple muscle training and local focused balance training, although this neurocontrol training-in the form of inverted body position training-required a longer training period than did the other programs.

성장기 골격성 II급 부정 교합의 진단 및 치료 계획 수립 시, 환자의 골격 형태와 예후 및 치료효과 등을 고려하는 것은 매우 중요한 과정이라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 성장기 II급 부정교합자의 치료 과정 중 Activator를 이용한 실험군 89명과 사용하지 않은 대조군 21명을 선정하여 교정 치료 전(T1), Activator 치료 후(T2), 교정 치료 종료(T3) 시의 골격적 차이를 치료 결과(effective body length 변화)에 따라 2군(1, 2군)으로 분류하여 비교, 분석하고 그 결과를 진단, 치료 계획 수립 등 임상 과정에 연계시키기 위해 시행되었다. 실험군의 경우에는 Activator의 치료효과 중 effective body length(Ar-Me)의 변화량에 따라 분류하고 대조군은 치료전 effective body length에 따라 분류하여 통계처리 하였다. 그 결과 실험군에서는 하악체 길이가 짧고, 상 하악골 간의 격차가 크며 전안면 고경의 길이가 짧은 환자에서 Activator에 의한 치료효과가 크게 나타났으며 이러한 치료 전(T1) 시기의 차이는 실험군에서는 고정성 교정 장치 치료 후(T3)시기로 가며 성장에 의해 사라졌다. 그러나 대조군에서는 치료 전(T1) 시기의 짧은 하악체 길이와 전안면 고경이 고정성 교정 장치 치료 후(T3) 까지 유지 되었다. 전체적인 Activator치료와 유지 기간이 포함된 치료 전(T1), 고정성 교정 장치 치료 후(T3) 간 변화량에 있어서는 Activator를 사용한 군에 있어서 보다 양호한 하악 성장 양상이 나타났다. 즉 Activator에 의한 치료효과는 골격형태에 따라 다르게 나타나며 이 결과는 치료 후까지 유지 되며 보다 안정적인 치료결과를 가져 오는 것으로 사료된다. 이번 연구를 통해 성장기 II급 부정교합자에서 Activator에 의한 치료효과와 그 효과의 안정적인 유지를 확인할 수 있었고 이를 바탕으로 교정치료 시 Activator의 효과를 예측하여 바람직한 안모성장을 유도할 수 있다고 생각된다.

Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of an herbal mixture of Atractylodes macrocephala and Taraxacum spp. (ATC) on ulcerative colitis. We have previously screened traditional medicinal herbs to discover the effective candidate by the animal model. A. macrocephala and T. spp were identified as one of the effective herbs in the screening process. Methods : Experimental colitis was induced in male Balb/c mice by administering drinking water containing dextran sulfate sodium, which mimics the clinical and histological features of ulcerative colitis in human. ATC at doses of 30, 100 or 300 mg/kg were orally administered to mice twice per day for 10 consecutive days. To evaluate the damage from experimentla ulcerative colitis, body weight, colon length, disease activity index, myeloperoxidase and histological changes were measured and analyzed. Results : The administration of dextran sulfate sodium with drinking water resulted in markedly reduced colon length, severe body weight loss, increased levels of myeloperoxidase activity and histological damages in mice. ATC treatment significantly ameliorated the colon shortening, histological damage, body weight loss and disease activity index score in a dose-dependent manner. ATC also attenuated the colonic myeloperoxidase activity which reflects the severity and extent of inflammatory damage of colon. Conclusions : ATC exerts protective effects against inflammatory colonic structural damage induced by epithelial barrier integrity impairment. ATC also inhibits weight loss and related symptoms of UC which can be considered as the functional recovery of colon.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of Ginseng herbal acupuncture at GB39 and ST36 on growth in mice. Methods: Mice were divided into four groups (n=10); G-ST36 group treated with Ginseng Radix herbal acupuncture at right ST36, G-GB39 group treated with the same at GB39, Control-ST36 group and Control-GB39 group injected with saline at right ST36 and GB39 respectively. The saline injection and herbal acupuncture were performed 3 times a week for 3 weeks. The length( total height, body length and tail length), weight and the protein efficiency ratio were measured as well as IGF-I level in serum Results: The weights of Ginseng herbal acupuncture groups were not significantly increased compared to the control groups but the protein efficiency ratios were significantly higher in Ginseng herbal acupuncture groups compared to the control groups. The increases of the total length, body length and tail length were significantly higher in Ginseng herbal acupuncture groups than the control groups. The serum IGF-I level of G-GB39 was significantly increased compared to control-GB39, not that of G-ST36 compared to control-ST36. Conclusions: Ginseng herbal acupuncture at GB39 and ST36 are both effective to promote growth in terms of height and weight. GB39 may be effective for growth by way of increasing IGF-I, and more closely related to growth in height than ST36.

Objective: In the present study, the effects of progressive body weight support treadmill forward & backward walking training (FBWT), progressive body weight support treadmill forward walking training (FWT), and progressive body weight support treadmill backward walking training (BWT), and on stroke patients' ambulatory abilities were examined. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: A total of 36 chronic stroke patients were divided into three groups with 12 subjects in each group. Each of the groups performed one of the progressive body weight supported treadmill training methods for 30 minute, six times per week for three weeks, and then received general physical therapy without any other intervention until the follow-up tests. For the assessment of the step length, total double support, cadence, gait were measured using optogait and the 10-m walk test (10MWT), 6 minutes walk test (6MWT). Results: In the within group comparisons, all the three groups showed significant differences between before and after the intervention (p<0.05). In the comparison of the three groups, there were significant differences among the three groups in stride length, double limb support stance, cadence, 10MWT, and 6MWT in the third week, and only in stride length, 10MWT, and 6MWT test in the sixth week (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study verified that progressive body weight-supported treadmill gait training positively affected the gait ability of stroke patients in an actual gait environment. It also showed that FBWT group was more effective than FWT group and BWT group training.
