최근 다양한 환경에서의 보행과 특정 동작에서 해당 모드를 지원하는 지능형 대퇴 의족이 개발되고 있다. 계단 상행, 하행과 같은 특정 제어는 동작 전 모드를 변경해야하기 때문에 사용자의 의도를 기반으로 제어명령을 구분하는 기법이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지능형 대퇴 의족 시스템에서 사용자의 의도에 기반하여 다양한 제어명령을 구분할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 근전도 신호의 보상이 필요하다고 판단되는 경우, 평상시의 근전도 신호의 세기 및 주파수 성분과 압력센서로 추정한 근육의 부피 정도의 상관관계를 이용하여 근전도 신호를 보상하는 것이며 실험을 통해 근피로가 축적되어 있는 상황에도 사용자의 의도를 정확하게 검출하는 것을 확인하였다. 향상된 사용자 의도 검출 기법을 통해 정해진 시간 내 근육의 수축 횟수를 기반으로 5개의 제어모드를 구분할 수 있도록 하였으며 실험 결과 운동 후 근피로로 인해 근신호의 세기가 평시와 다를 경우에도 근신호 보상을 통해 97.5%의 정확도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

이마관자엽 치매는 조기 발현형 치매 중 두 번째로 흔한 형태로 행동, 언어, 인지 장애를 보이는 신경퇴행성 질환이다. 이마관자엽 치매에서 운동 기능 이상이 동반되는 경우는 운동 신경원 질환과 파킨슨증, 진행성 핵상 마비 등으로 대표되나, 다른 동반 질환 없이 이마관자엽 치매가 중추신경계의 운동신경영역을 직접 침범하여 나타난 운동 기능 이상은 보고된 바가 없다. 또한, 임상적 치매 집단과 복합부위 통증 증후군 사이의 연관성은 보고된 바가 없다. 저자들은 이마관자엽 치매환자에서 나타난 중추신경계 원인의 하지 근력 저하를 뇌 자기공명영상과 전기진단학적 검사를 통해 진단하였고, 동반된 복합부위 통증증후군을 삼상 골주사 검사를 통해 진단하였으며, 이에 따른 임상적 치료를 시행하였다. 스테로이드를 이용한 복합부위 통증증후군 치료 후에 환자의 통증은 호전되었고, 입원 상태에서 하지 근육에 대한 기능적 전기 자극 치료, 근력 강화 운동 및 보행 훈련을 포함한 포괄적 재활치료를 시행한 후에 저명한 기능적 호전을 보였다. 이마관자엽 치매에서 관찰된 중추신경계 원인의 근력 저하에 대한 재활 치료는 전반적 기능의 향상에 효과적일 것으로 추정된다.

Clinical arthritis is typically divided into rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Arthritis-induced muscle weakness is a major problem in aged people, leading to a disturbance of balance during the gait cycle and frequent falls. The purposes of the present study were to confirm fiber type-dependent expression of muscle atrophy markers induced by arthritis and to identify the relationship between clinical signs and expression of muscle atrophy markers. Mice were divided into four experimental groups as follows: (1) negative control (normal), (2) positive control (CFA+acetic acid), (3) RA group (CFA+acetic acid+type II collagen), and (4) aging-induced OA group. DBQA/1J mice (8 weeks of age) were injected with collagen (50 ${\mu}g/kg$), and physiological (body weight) and pathological (arthritis score and paw thickness) parameters were measured once per week. The gastrocnemius muscle from animals in each group was removed, and the expression of muscle atrophy markers (MAFbx and MuRF1) and myosin heavy chain isoforms were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. No significant change in body weight occurred between control groups and collagen-induced RA mice at week 10. However, bovine type II collagen induced a dramatic increase in clinical score or paw thickness at week 10 (p<0.01). Concomitantly, the expression of the muscle atrophy marker MAFbx was upregulated in the RA and OA groups (p<0.01). A dramatic reduction in myosin heavy chain (MHC)-$I{\beta}$ was seen in the gastrocnemius muscles from RA and OA mice, while only a slight decrease in MHC-IIb was seen. These results suggest that muscle atrophy gene expression occurred in a fiber type-specific manner in both RA- and OA-induced mice. The present study suggests evidence regarding why different therapeutic interventions are required between RA and OA.

Pompe 병(Glycogen storage disease type II)은 acid ${\alpha}$-glucosidase (GAA)의 결손에 의한 질환이며 열성으로 유전한다. 전신적인 근육약화와 비후성 심근병이 생긴 후 대개 1년 안에 사망하게 되는 영아기 발병형과 상대적으로 임상양상이 경한 후기 발병형이 있다. Pompe 병의 국내 보고는 드문 상태이나 최근 GAA 효소 보충 요법이 개발되어 임상적으로 시도 중이다. 저자들은 발병은 영아기에 있으나 비교적 임상증상이 심하지 않은 비전형적 영아형 Pompe 병을 진단받고 심한 간비대와 비후성 심근병증, 보행곤란의 증상을 보이던 4세 남아에게 재조합 인간 GAA 효소($Myozyme^{(R)}$, Genzyme Co., MA, USA) 치료를 하여 운동능력과 심기능의 현저한 호전을 경험하였기에 보고한다. 비전형적 영아형 Pompe 병에서는 ERT의 효과가 더욱 큰 것으로 생각되며 소아과의사들이 비전형적 Pompe 병 초기의 특징인 비음이나 동요성 보행같은 증상을 이해하고 있어 이를 빨리 진단하고 효소보충요법을 조기에 시행한다면 Pompe 병 환아의 예후를 호전시킬 수 있겠다.

This study was performed to assess therapeutic effect of the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in dogs with experimentally transected cranial cruciate ligaments (CrCL). Nine healthy adult Beagle dogs were transected left CrCL under general anesthesia. The dogs were assigned to TPLO and non-TPLO control groups. The TPLO procedures for correcting the CrCL rupture in the left stifle of dogs were performed under sterile conditions. Before TPLO procedures, all dogs were screened by orthopedic and radiographic examinations. Dogs were lameness free for the previous three months, and when examined at the walk and trot on a hard surface, in a straight line and on a circle. Lateral and craniocaudal radiographs were done to confirm the soundness of the both knee joint in dogs and not detectable lesions were diagnosed. The dogs were intravenously injected with a 10 mci/kg of 99mTechnetium-methylene diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) under general anesthesia. Scintigraphs were obtained using a large field of view gamma camera equipped a parallel-hole, low-energy about 3 hours after intravenous injection of 99mTc-MDP. Before CrCL transection and 4, 8, and 12 weeks after the procedures, scintigraphy were conducted. Bone uptake of the left stifle joint increased after the procedures in all dogs. When the bone uptake from the TPLO procedure was compared with that of the control, there was a significant difference (p < 0.05). At 12 weeks after the TPLO procedure, the dogs showed normal anatomical posture and gait. It is concluded that TPLO procedure was effective in reconstruct of the stifle joint in dogs with CrCL rupture.

1. Out of 21 examples on a clinical base Alzheimer type dementia were 8 examples(38%), 11 vascular types(52%), 1 Alzheimer and vascular mixed type and rest 1 was secondary dementia type(NPH).2. Between the genders, there were 5 males and 3 females for Alzheimer types, 6 males and 5 females for the vascular types, 1 male for Alzheimer and vascular mixed type, and 1 female for secondary dementia type(NPH).3. For the degrees of Alzheimer type dementia there were 2 mild dementia, 4 moderate dementia, and 2 severe dementia. 4. Among the Alzheimer types 2 mild dementia were almost recovered back to normal in approximately 2 months, 2of 4 moderate dementia became significantly better in approximately 2 months and recovered to almost normal state in 3 to 5 months. The rest 2 have been under treatment for 3 months, but showed a little improvement. Out of 2 severe dementia examples, one showed a little improvement even if it has been under treatment over 2 years. The other example did not show any improvement, but dementia did not proceed any more.5. Among the 11 vascular examples, 7 recovered in 2 to 3 months, 1 in 5 months, 2 recovered in a year, and the treatment was stopped arbitrary for the last one.6 In the case of Alzheimer and vascular mixed type dementia, even the moderate dementia did not show any apparent result in 6 months.7. For NPHI (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus), there was an improvement on dementia in 2 months after the treatment, but gait disturbance and urinary incontinence did not show any noticeable difference. As a conclusion, almost all the Alzheimer and vascular type patients recovered, but the treatment periods varied depending on the types of the dementia and the degree of seriousness, especially in the case of the severe Alzheimer patients, the treatment oniy suppression the progression of the dementia. The most important aspect from clinical point of view was even if almost all the patients were almost completely cired, they need to keep being cured for a long period of time. The method with respect to Four Constitutions is thought of the most desirable.

Purpose : This study used a sarcopenia diagnostic algorithm proposed by the Asia working group in adults over 50 to diagnose sarcopenia and analyze body function. The purpose of this study is to prepare basic data for the management and prevention of sarcopenia. Methods : We performed a diagnostic evaluation of sarcopenia in 97 adults over the age of 50 years with the cooperation of the Seongnam senior experience complex in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do. As a result of the diagnostic process, 24 subjects were placed into the sarcopenia group, while 73 subjects were placed into the normal group. We measured each subject's body, performed the timed up and go test to evaluate functional mobility, and conducted a questionnaire on the pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome and locomotive syndrome. Results : There were statistically significant differences in height, weight, and skeletal muscle mass between the two groups. There was also a statistically significant difference in the timed up and go test, which confirmed the difference in functional mobility between the two groups. In addition, there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the proportion and the mean score of subjects with pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome and locomotive syndrome. In the correlation analysis, grip strength was statistically significantly correlated with height, weight, skeletal muscle mass, waist circumference, timed up and go test, pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome and locomotive syndrome. Gait speed was significantly correlated with the timed up and go test and locomotive syndrome. Appendicular skeletal muscle index was significantly correlated with height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, and the pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome. Conclusion : In conclusion, sarcopenia is closely related to height, weight, skeletal muscle mass and functional mobility, as well as the pre-symptom of locomotive syndrome and, locomotive syndrome. In consideration of this, the prevention and management of sarcopenia should be made accordingly.
