Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate the effects of Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture therapy in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods : We investigated 16 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. We divided patients into two groups : Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture was performed with acupuncture therapy for one group, and the other group received acupuncture therapy only. To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment applied to the two groups, we used the Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and the Oswestry Low-back Pain Disability Index(ODI). We compared the VAS and ODI scores of the two groups statistically. Results : The Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture group received more effective relief than the acupunctureonly group as measured by decreasedpain and disability reported on the VAS and ODI by patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Conclusions: Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture therapy can be used in addition to acupuncture therapy for highly effective treatment of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. Further clinical studies are needed to verify these findings.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects lumbar stabilization exercise with kinesio taping on pain, muscle strength, and oswestry disability index (ODI) in patients with chronic low back pain. Design: Two groups pre-post randomized controlled design Methods: Thirty-two subjects were randomly divided in two groups; 1) lumbar stabilization exercise with kinesio taping group (Experimental group, n=16), 2) lumbar stabilization exercise with sham kinesio taping group (Control group, n=16). The intervention was conducted in each group for thirty minutes a day, 5 times a week, for 4 weeks. Both group did 30 minutes of lumbar stabilization application. Evaluations were performed before the commencement of training and again 4 weeks after training was initiated. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate pain level of patients with chronic low back pain. Distal muscle test was used to evaluate muscle strength of trunk extension. In addition, ODI was used to evaluate activity daily life of low back pain. Results: After training, the VAS, muscle strength of trunk extension and ODI were significantly more improvement in Experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: We confirmed that the effects of lumbar stabilization exercise with kinesio taping group on pain, muscle strength, and ODI in patients with chronic low back pain.

A fermenting microorganism involved in formation of ortho-dihydroxyisoflavones (ODIs) during aging of doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste) has been investigated. Microorganisms in ODI-containing doenjang were isolated by cultivating on yeast mold (YM) agar medium containing 0-7% NaCl. ODI formation of the isolated strains was examined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis after cultivation in modified YM broth or soybean extract medium. An ODI-producing microbe was identified as Bacillus subtilis HS-1 based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The strain has produced 8-hydroxydaidzein as a major product during growth in the modified YM broth or soybean extract medium. Therefore, it was concluded that one of the microorganisms involved in the formation of ODIs in doenjang was B. subtilis HS-1.

Historical background and present status of Korean functional sericulture was reviewed. Five-year expansion projects began in 1962, and produced 41,700 tons of cocoon in 1976 and exported $271 million. However, the number of silkworm rearing households reduced to 59,800 by 1987 from 488,000 in 1976 due to rapid development of the secondary and the tertiary industries with higher labor cost. That's why functional sericulture was developed in Korea. Freeze-dried silkworm powder was found that it lowered the level of blood glucose. Nuedongchunghacho, Paecilomyces tenuipes, was cultured on silkworm larva. Odi, the fruit of mulberry trees, was studied as a new food ingredient. Mulberry tree varieties for improved Odi production were also developed.

본 연구는 국가대표 남자 필드하키선수들을 대상으로 허리의 시각적 상사 척도와 오스웨스트리 장애지수 및 허리의 근력 간의 상관관계 알아보고자 하였다. 시각적 상사 척도와 오스웨스트리 장애지수는 자기 기입식 평가로 진행하였으며, 허리의 근력을 DAVID를 이용하여 측정하였다. 자료 분석은 피어슨의 적률상관관계를 사용하였으며, 통계적 유의 수준은 α=.05로 하였다. 연구 결과 남자 필드하키선수들의 허리의 시각적 상사 척도와 오스웨스트리 장애지수는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 그러나 그 외의 시각적 상사 척도와 오스웨스트리 장애지수는 허리의 근력에 어떠한 상관관계도 없었다. 따라서, 필드하키선수들의 허리 재활운동 시 단순한 근력운동이 아닌 새로운 운동프로그램이 개발되어야 할 필요성이 있다. 이러한 연구들은 향후 선수들의 치료 및 운동프로그램 개발에 유용한 기초자료로 제공될 것으로 사료된다.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationship between fear-avoidance beliefs and functional status in individuals suffering from low back pain, and to identify factors that influence on fear-avoidance beliefs, functional status and pain. A cross-sectional study included 214 individuals with low back pain. Each of subjects completed a fear-avoidance beliefs questionnaire (FABQ) which divided into two subscales, FABQ for physical activity (FABQ-PA) and FABQ for work(FABQ-W), Oswestry disability index (ODI) and numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). Individuals with radiating pain were significantly higher in FABQ-PA, FABQ-total, and ODI scores than with no radiation pain (p<.05). Individuals who had received surgery were significantly higher in FABQ-PA, FABQ-total, ODI and NPRS scores when compared with individuals who had not received it (p<.05). And individuals with taking medication were significantly higher in all variables (FABQ-PA, FABQ-W, FABQ-total ODI and NPRS) than individuals not taking medication (p<.05). In correlation analysis. age appeared to be significantly correlated with FABQ-PA, FABQ-total and ODI scores (p<.05), and all variables was significantly correlated with each other (p<.01). These findings indicate that individuals suffering from low back pain have psychosocial problems such as fear-avoidance beliefs as well as functional status and pain. Fear-avoidance beliefs may contribute to aggravate physical symptoms, and therefore it should be carefully considered for the management of individuals with low back pain.
