Little information is available about the characteristics in revolution gait of hemiplegic elderly, which is frequently represented in daily life. It is also hard to elucidate purely the characteristics due to hemiplegia because of no consideration of aging factors. The aim of study is to identify the alteration characteristics of lower extremity joint angles in both straight and revolution gaits together due to hemiplegia through comparing healthy with hemiplegic elderly. Following Institutional Review Board approval, twelve healthy and hemiplegic elderly were participated and the center of body mass (COM) and lower extremity joint angles were measured during straight and revolution gaits using a computer-aided video motion capture system. The results showed that the gait characteristics were generally altered in both straight and revolution gaits due to hemiplegia (p < 0.05). The gait characteristics were then different between the straight and revolution gaits each other. This study may be valuable by identifying for the first time the alterations of the lower extremity joint angles in both straight and revolution gaits due to pure hemiplegia through comparing healthy elderly with hemiplegic elderly.

본 연구는 우리나라 노인의 Aging in place 실현을 위해 노년기 주거 특성이 지역사회 지속거주 의사에 미치는 영향을 검증하고자 하였다. 지역사회 지속거주 의사에 있어 노인의 건강상태가 중요하기에 건강할 경우와 건강하지 않을 경우를 같이 고려하였고, 주거특성을 경제적 측면인 자가 보유 여부, 주거비 부담, 환경적 측면인 주거 편리성, 주택만족도, 주거환경만족도로 구분하여 지역사회 지속거주 의사와의 관계를 살펴보았다. 이를 확인하기 위해 2017년 노인실태조사 자료를 사용하여 노인 9,798명을 대상으로 분석을 하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 건강할 경우와 건강하지 않을 경우를 같이 고려하였을 때 지역사회 지속거주를 선택한 노인이 6,704명(68.4%), 건강할 경우에는 지역사회 지속거주를 선택하지만, 건강상태가 악화될 경우 지역사회 지속거주를 선택하지 않는 노인이 3,094명(31.6%)으로 파악되었다. 둘째, 지역사회 지속거주 의사별 평균 주거 특성을 비교한 결과, 지역사회 지속거주를 선택한 노인집단이 그렇지 않은 노인집단보다 주거비 부담은 적었으며 주택만족도와 주거환경만족도가 통계적으로 유의미하게 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 이항 로지스틱 분석결과 주거특성 중 경제적 요인인 자가를 보유할 경우, 주거비 부담이 적을수록 지역사회 지속거주를 선택할 가능성이 높았고, 환경적 요인인 노인을 위한 설비를 갖춘 경우와 주택만족도, 주거환경만족도가 높을수록 지역사회 지속거주를 선택할 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통해 노인의 실제 선호하는 Aging in place의 욕구를 파악하였고, 노인의 욕구를 존중하면서 진정한 Aging in place의 실현을 위해 실천적, 정책적 제안을 제시하였다. 노인의 주거에 초점을 맞추어 경제적 측면에서 주거안정성을 높여줄 노후준비와 주거비용 경감의 필요성, 주거환경의 측면에서 고령친화적인 주택환경과 지역사회 인프라 구축의 필요함을 강조하였다.

Tissue factor (TF), a principal initiator of the veertebrate coagulation cascade, is expressed in organ tissues, cells and blood. TF is konwn to be induced in endothelial cells, monocytes and macrophages by inflammatory stimuli and in many pathologic conditions. By using the modified method for in vido TF activity assay, we found that turpentine oil injection as an inflamatory stimulus also induced the TF activity in lung and brain tissues of rats. And the age-related increase in Tf activity was observed in healthy rat brain tissue.

The results are as follows. (1) The medication dispenser proved to be very useful to all the respondents. All the seniors, who take more than one medicine a day, felt it helpful that the medication dispenser makes them to take medicines at fixed time.

Background: People who were born in different years, that is, different birth cohorts, grow in varying socio-historical and dynamic contexts, which result in differences in social dispositions and physical abilities. Methods: This study used age-period-cohort analysis method to establish explanatory models on healthcare expenditure in Korea reflecting birth cohort factor using intrinsic estimator. Based on these models, we tried to investigate the effects of ageing population on future healthcare expenditure through simulation by scenarios. Results: Coefficient of cohort effect was not as high as that of age effect, but greater than that of period effect. The cohort effect can be interpreted to show 'healthy ageing' phenomenon. Healthy ageing effect shows annual average decrease of -1.74% to 1.57% in healthcare expenditure. Controlling age, period, and birth cohort effects, pure demographic effect of population ageing due to increase in life expectancy shows annual average increase of 1.61%-1.80% in healthcare expenditure. Conclusion: First, since the influence of population factor itself on healthcare expenditure increase is not as big as expected. Second, 'healthy ageing effect' suggests that there is a need of paradigm shift to prevention centered-healthcare services. Third, forecasting of health expenditure needs to reflect social change factors by considering birth cohort effect.
