  • 불완전 척수손상환자에게 시각적 바이오피드백 시뮬레이션훈련의 적용을 통해 균형에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 불완전 척수손상환자 중 기능향상을 기대할 수 있는 ASIA장애척도 C, D환자 15명을 실험군 7명, 대조군 8명으로 무작위 분류하였다. 균형진단과 바이오피드백 훈련이 가능한 Tetrax Interactive Balance System을 이용하여 시각적 바이오피드백 시뮬레이션훈련을 6주간 일주에 3회씩, 1회에 15분간 총 18회를 실시하였다. 분석방법은 집단 내 전과 후의 차이는 대응표본 t검정을 시행하였고, 두집단 사이 전후 변화량의 차이는 독립표본 t검정을 사용하였다. 실험군은 자세 흔들림을 측정하는 안정성지수와 낙상의 위험정도를 나타내는 낙상지수 및 각각의 체중 변화를 감지하는 체중분포도(A, C, D, LEFT, HEEL)와 체중분포지수에서 유의하게 향상되었고, 자세조절능력을 나타내는 동조화에서는 좌우뒤꿈치(AC)간과 좌우앞꿈치(BD)간을 제외하고 모두 유의하게 향상되었다(p<.05). 대조군은 체중분포도(A, C, LEFT)에서만 유의하게 향상되었다(p<.05). 실험군과 대조군간의 변화량에서 체중분포도(A, B, C, HEEL)와 안정성지수 및 낙상지수, 그리고 동조화 AD에서만 유의한 향상을 보였다(p<.05). 이 연구의 결과로 볼 때 불완전 척수손상환자에게 부가적으로 균형증진을 위한 시각적 바이오피드백 시뮬레이션훈련은 균형능력향상에 있어서 유용할 것이며 추후 더 많은 연구들이 시행되어야 할 것이다.

  • 백합류의 패류는 선사시대부터 식용으로 이용되어 온 이매패류로서 유적 점유 및 생계활동 연구와 고환경 연구에 좋은 정보를 제공해준다. 이에 본 연구에서는 신석기시대의 서산 대죽리 패총에서 출토된 말백합이 채집된 계절을 밝히기 위하여 표면 관찰을 바탕으로 한 연령 사정과 연변부지수를 산출하여 보았다. 그 결과 연변부지수 값은 0.13-1.29 사이에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 현생 말백합의 월별 연변부지수 자료와 비교 검토한 결과 대죽리 패총 출토 말백합 시료 총 206점의 시료 가운데 봄 170점 (82.5%), 여름 18점 (8.7%), 가을 10점 (4.9%), 겨울 8점 (3.9%) 으로 봄에 채집된 것이 가장 많은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이로 미루어 신석기시대의 대죽리 패총 지역에서 말백합의 채집은 연중 이루어졌으며, 특히 봄에 집중되었을 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 대죽리 패총은 연중 점유 되었을 것으로 판단된다. 이상 연변부지수를 이용한 성장선분석은 다량의 패각 시료에 대하여 비교적 짧은 시간에 분석비에 대한 부담 없이 시행할 수 있는 방법이다. 향후 보다 많은 고고학적 적용을 통하여 고고학적 문제 해결에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • Methods : We investigated 28 cases of patients with thoracolumbar compression fracture. We divided patients into two groups : We treated one group with complex oriental medical treatment focusing on Bee Venom Acupuncture therapy, and did the other group with complex oriental medical treatment focusing on acupuncture therapy. To investigate the effectiveness of treatment applied for two groups, we used Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and Oswestry Low-back Pain Disability Index(ODI). We compared the VAS score and ODI score of two groups statistically. Results : 1. Female is prominent in distribution of sex, the average age bracket is 70's, and the largest group was Faccidental fall in the distribution of cause. 2. In regard to level of injury, T12 was found to be most prominent, followed in turn by L1, L2. In regard to grade of clinical symptoms, Grade III was most prominent, followed by Grade IV, Grade II. 3. As a result of evaluation by using VAS score and ODI score, treatment score at final was significantly different from that at the baseline in each group. 4. After treatment, Bee Venom acupuncture therapy group showed significant difference on VAS score and ODI score compared with acupuncture therapy group. Conclusions : Bee Venom acupuncture therapy can be available for relieving symptoms related with thoracolumbar compression fracture.

  • The L1641 cloud in Orion is an active site of star formation. We mapped a square region of 60 arcmin by 60 arcmin in the continuum emission from 0.89 mm to 2.0 mm wavelength using MUSIC mounted on the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory 10.4 m telescope. Eight sources were detected in at least two wavelength bands, and all the detected emission comes from thermal dust continuum radiation of dense cloud cores. Their spectral energy distributions were characterized. The dust emissivity spectral index is beta = 1.3 on average, within the range of typical cores in nearby star-forming regions. Two cores, V380 Ori NE and HH 34 MMS, have unusually low emissivity index of beta = 0.3. These cores may contain millimeter-sized dust grains, which suggests that the lifetime of some dense cores can be much longer than the free-fall timescale.

  • Objectives : This research was performed to investigate effect of Samul-tang-gamibang against focal cerebral ischemic damage after middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO). Methods : This research was used rats which were against focal cerebral ischemic damage by MCAO. It was used Zea Longa's theory and Belayev's methods to give rise to focal cerebral ischemic damage by MCAO. After 7days later, we drew out the brain and then had frozen and dyeing it and we had taken a picture to measure of the damaged area in each brain section. We determined the Neurological Index and tested the Foot-fault test and Roatated test to appraise the fall of motion ability result from cerebral ischemic damage. Results : The results of the experiment are as follows. 1. Samul-tang-gamibang reduced infarct size of sample group compared to control group at 7 day after MCAO. 2. Samul-tang-gamibang reduced infarct volume of sample group compared to control group at 7 day after MCAO. 3. Samul-tang-gamibang reduced foot-fault index of sample group compared to control group at 5,7 day after MCAO. Conclusions : Samul-tang-gamibang has protective effects against ischemic brain damage and had significant reduced infarct size and infarct volume of Rt-MCAO.

  • We investigated nutrient loading and trophic states in a coastal estuarine system in the Asan estuary by assessing phytoplankton biomass and using the trophic index (TRIX). The monthly and yearly nutrient loading (TN, TP) from freshwater discharge from the Asan and Sapgyo reservoirs into the estuary were estimated and analyzed with related factors. Monitoring data (physio-chemical and biological variables) collected at five estuary stations were used to assess trophic states. Descriptive statistics of total phytoplankton cells, chl a concentrations and primary productivity were also used to assess seasonal trophic status. N loading from freshwater ranged $1.0{\sim}1.3{\times}10^4$ ton yearly. The yearly P loading ranged between 350 and 400 ton during 2004~2006, increasing to 570 ton in 2007. Regression results suggest that DIN and DSi were correlated with freshwater discharge at the upper region. Based on phytoplankton biomass and total cell abundance, the trophic state of the estuary was found to be eutrophic during spring due to phytoplankton bloom. Primary productivity level was remarkably high, especially in summer coinciding with high nutrient loading. Pheopigments increased during warm seasons, i.e. summer and fall. Trophic index results indicate that the trophic state varied between mesotrophic and eutrophic in the estuary water body, especially in the upper region. The results suggest that phytoplankton production was regulated by nutrient loading from freshwater whereas biomass was affected by other properties than nutrient loading in the Asan Estuary ecosystem.

  • PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify whether backward walking exercise was more effective than conventional physical therapy for balance and gait in hemiplegic stroke patients. METHODS: Eighteen patients with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to the experimental (n=9) or control (n=9) group. The experimental and control group performed backward walking exercise and conventional physical therapy, respectively, for 8 weeks. Stability Index (SI) and Weight Distribution Index (WDI) during standing were assessed using the Tetrax Balance System. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and Korean version of the Berg Balance Scale (K-BBS) were used to evaluate balance and fall risk. Walking speed, stride length, and step length on the affected side were measured using the 10-Meter Walk and ink foot printing tests. Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for within- and between- group comparisons, respectively. RESULTS: The experimental group showed significantly higher changes in SI (p<.01), WDI (p<.01), TUG (p<.001), and BBS score (p<.001) following intervention compared with the control group. The experimental group also showed significantly greater improvements in walking speed (p<.01), stride length (p<.001), and step length on the affected side (p<.001) after intervention compared with the control group. CONCLUSION: Backward walking exercise is an effective intervention to improve balance and gait in hemiplegic stroke patients.

  • The purpose of this study is to develope and analyze a test for the assessment of physics inquiry experiment. To do this, three experiments about 'analysis of motion', 'the relation of force and acceleration', and 'free fall motion' in high school physics textbooks were chosen, and 5 scientific inquiry domains and 16 science process skills have been specified. For each experiments, test sheet of $29{\sim}44$ questions for assessing students' ability about physics inquiry experiment were developed on the basis of the scientific inquiry processes developed earlier. After instruction about 3 experiments mentioned above, a test was administered to the students who took experiment. After the adminstration of a test, the ratio of correct answers, discrimination index, and reliability were analyzed. Using the ratio of correct answers, we can determine item difficulty. Through the D.I(discrimination index), we can find which items can discriminate the students who took experiment well from those who took experiment badly, and we can also find the stability of a test result by the reliability analysis. The test developed in this study were also administered to the students who did not take experiments, and the results were compared with the those of the students who took experiments. With the comparison by chi-square method, we could find which items can discriminate the students who took experiments from those who did not take experiments.
