The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of treadmill walking in underwater and overground which affects gait and physical function of people who have had a stroke. Twenty people after a stroke who have become hemiplegic over 6 months were participated. Participants were divided into two groups: underwater treadmill group(UTG) and overground treadmill group(OTG). The intervention was done 4 times per weeks for 6 weeks and 1 session lasted for 30 minutes. Gait and physical function elements were measured at baseline, at the middle(3 weeks) and at the end of the intervention(6 weeks). For the elements of gait, walking velocity, affected stance phase, affected weight bearing were assessed. For the elements of physical function, Short Form 8(SF-8) health survey was used. The result of this study showed that both groups improved similarly in walking velocity. However participants in UTG improved more than those in OTG in affected stance phase(p<.05), affected weight bearing(p<.05) and emotional aspect(p<.001). Based on the results of this study, it can be suggested that treadmill walking both in underwater and on the ground can be effective in improving hemiplegic gait and physical function of people who have had a stroke. The result also suggest that the underwater treadmill exercise can be more effective than overground treadmill in restoration of gait in people after stroke.

To analyze scientifically the fundamental formulation theory and drug interaction on the purgative action of Chungpesagan-tang, which is one of the traditional Korean medical prescriptions that has been most frequently used for stroke, water extracts of herbal medicines with Rhei Rhizoma were administered into mice and the purgative action was measured. Water extracts of Raphani Semen or Cimicifugae Rhizoma with Rhei Rhizoma had more potent purgative activity than Rhei Rhizoma alone, although Raphani Semen alone displayed no purgative action. However, Platycodi Radix and Puerariae Radix inhibited the purgative action of Rhei Rhizoma. When Rhei Rhizoma with Raphani Semen or Cimicifugae Radix was extracted with water, sennoside A content in the water extract was increased. However, Puerariae Radix and Platycodi Radix decreased the content of sennoside A in the extracted water. The transforming rate of sennoside A of Rhei Rhizoma was inhibited by Puerariae Radix and Platycodi Radix. The transforming rate of sennoside A of Chungpesagan-tang to rheinan-throne by human intestinal microflora and its purgative activity were similar to those of Rhei Rhizoma. Finally we thought that the purgative action of Chungpesagan-tang could be controlled by the addition and subtraction of Chungpesagan-tang-composing herbal medicines.

Objectives This study was designed to investigate the correlation between the forward head posture and the spinal alignment. Methods We examined the whole spine x-rays of the 144 student sample. We measured the Craniovertebral angle (CVA), Cervical angle (CA), Thoracic kyphotic angle (TKA), lumbar lordosis angle (LLA) and Ferguson's angle (FA) of the students. We then analyzed the relationship between these angles. Results CVA had correlation with CA, but it was weak. There was significant correlation between CVA and TKA. There were no significant correlation among CVA, LLA and FA. Conclusions According to above results, there is a negative relationship between the CVA and the TKA - in that higher CVAs yielded lower TKAs. But CVA had no significant correlation with LLA or FA.

'Ga Mi Yung Sin Whan' is a Chinese patent medicine, which is used for a tachycardia, anemia, amnesia, ecstacy, and so on in Korea. This medicine consists of 12 kinds of powdered crude drugs. For the identification of individual ingredients in such powdery mixtures, microscopic method may advantageously be used as it requires only a small amount of specimens. In this paper, the effectiveness of this method is exemplified by the identification of the ingredients in Ga Mi Yeong Sin Whan which contains 12 powdered crude drug ingredients.

The authors report a case of ganglioglioma in unusual site, the hypothalamus. The tumor was completely removed and no recurrence was noted on the follow up. Ganglioglioma usually occurs in the temporal and frontal lobe, but is rarely found on the hypothalamus. We report this case with pertinent literatual reviews.

Paenibacillus polymyxa is known to be a plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium. The present study describes a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for the specific detection and quantitation of P. polymyxa using a primer pair based on the sequence of a membrane-fusion protein for the amplification of a 268 bp DNA fragment. This study reports that the qPCR-based method is applicable for the rapid and sensitive detection of P. polymyxa and can be used as an alternative method for agricultural soil monitoring.

The electrical current generated by heart creates not only electric potential but also a magnetic field. We have observed electrophysiological phenomena of the heart by measuring tangential components of magnetocardiogram(MCG) using 61 channel superconducting quantum interference device(SQUD) system. In this paper, we developed a new analysis method, which is based on the theory of electromagnetic field. We show some differences of the current direction between the normal MCG and the abnormal(ischemic heart disease) MCG.
