PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the physical therapy treatment room environment using microwave diathermy on the autonomic nervous system of human body. METHODS: Participants were 24 healthy adults. Standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals(SDNN), root mean square of successive differences(RMSSD), low frequency(LF), high frequency(HF), LF/HF ratio were compared in microwave irradiation and non-irradiation group. Data were analyzed in Wilcoxon's signed-ranks test and Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: Standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals (SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), low frequency(LF), high frequency(HF), LF/HF ratio were not significantly different in microwave irradiation group. Standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals(SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), low frequency(LF), high frequency(HF), LF/HF ratio were not significantly different in microwave non-irradiation group. Standard deviation of all normal R-R intervals(SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), low frequency(LF), high frequency(HF), LF/HF ratio were not significantly different between two groups. CONCLUSION: There was no significant change in the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system regardless of the presence of microwave irradiation. There was no significant change in the autonomic nervous system adaptability regardless of the presence of microwave irradiation.According to this study, microwave diathermy does not have significant effect on the autonomic nervous system.Future study is necessary to investigate the long term effect of the physical therapy treatment room environment using microwave diathermy on the autonomic nervous system of the human body.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the effects of acupuncture applied at PC6 and SP4 points on heart rate variability (HRV) in normal subjects under mental stress Methods: 24 healthy male subjects were recruited and randomized to a treatment group (12 subjects) or a control group (12 subjects). Both groups performed a mental arithmetic stress test and then acupuncture needles were inserted on PC6 and SP4 for the study group. In the control group, they took sham acupuncture as a control. Heart rate variability (HRV) was measured during the whole study period by FM-150 (digital Holter ECG recorder). Results: In the both groups, low frequency (LF) power and ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) was significantly increased after mental stress. Acupuncture induced significant decrease in low frequency (LF) power and ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) which were increased after mental stress test. But sham acupuncture induced no changes. Results: In both groups, low frequency (LF) power and ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) significantly increased after mental stress. Acupuncture induced significant decrease in low frequency (LF) power and ratio of low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) which increased after mental stress test. In contrast, sham acupuncture induced no changes. Conclusions: Acupuncture on PC6 and SP4 could be useful to decrease sympathetic activity and balance autonomic nervous system for those who are under stress.

PE(Passive Entry)는 자동차 운전자가 스마트 키를 직접 사용하지 않고 차량의 문을 열거나 닫는 자동차 기술이다. PG(Passive Go)는 운전자가 스마트 키를 갖고 차량 내에 있을 때 시동을 걸거나 끄는 기술이다. 이러한 2가지 기능을 합쳐서 PEG라 부른다. PEG의 핵심 기술 중의 하나인 LF(Low Frequency) 안테나 구동기는 명령을 처리하는 디지털 블록과 sine 파를 발생시키는 아날로그 블록으로 구성되어 있다. LF 안테나 구동기의 디지털 블록은 MCU(혹은 ECU)로부터 명령을 받아서 요청된 명령을 수행하며, 내부의 FIFO 블록에 안테나 구동 관련 명령 및 데이터를 저장한다. FIFO에서 명령을 읽어내 이에 대응하는 조치를 취하며 변조된 LF 데이터를 아날로그 블록에 전달하면 아날로그 블록은 sine 파를 생성하여 안테나를 통해 외부로 전달한다. 설계된 LF 안테나 구동기용 디지털 블록은 기존의 제품과 비교하여 더 빠른 속도로 LF 데이터 전송을 수행할 수 있다. 이의 응용 분야는 자동차용 PEG 및 건물의 출입문 개폐에 활용이 가능하다.

Most of the studies use model order reduction for low frequency (LF) response analysis due to their high computational efficiency. In LF response analysis, one of model order reduction, algebraic substructuring (AS) retains all LF modes when using the modal superposition. However, in mid-frequency (MF) response analysis, the LF modes make very little contribution and also increase the number of retained modes, which leads to loss of computational efficiency. Therefore, MF response analysis should consider low truncated modes to improve the computational efficiency. The current work is focused on improving the computational efficiency using a AS and a frequency sweep algorithm. Finite element simulation for a MEMS resonator array showed that the performance of the presented method is superior to a conventional method.

This study aimed to investigate heart rate variability (HRV) characteristics of cold pattern with repeated measurement data. Participants were taken from a Daejeon University cohort study from 2015 to 2018. Forty-seven of the participants studied displayed cold pattern while 23 showed signs of non-cold pattern. HRV was measured in supine position for 5 minutes at each year, and an 8-item cold pattern questionnaire was used for the diagnosis of cold pattern. SDNN (standard deviation of the NN intervals) and RMSSD (the square root of the mean squared differences of successive NN intervals) were used as time domain analysis, and TP (total power), VLF (power in very low frequency range), LF (power in low frequency range), HF (power in high frequency range), LF norm (LF power in normalized units), HF norm (HF power in normalized units) and LF/HF were used as frequency domain analysis. In the Mann-Whitney U test, LF norm, HF norm, and LF/HF showed differences between the cold pattern group and non-cold pattern group at every measurement, and in the independent t-test, the differences were also observed at three points except for the baseline (2015). In the repeated measures ANOVA, the interaction effects were not observed in all HRV parameters, but the time period effects were observed in SDNN, RMSSD, TP, VLF, LF and HF. There were significant differences between those two groups in LF norm, HF norm and LF/HF. This study suggests that LF norm, HF norm and LF/HF might be a useful indicator of cold pattern properties.

This study was to know the effects of massage on the back region in order to reduce stress in middle age women. To investigate the effects of massage to the stress levels of middle aged women, we evaluated blood pressure (BP), heart rate variability (HRV), and ultrasonography before and after back massage. The blood pressure after massage was reduced when compared to that of pre-massage. The HRV spectrum analysis was used Frequency domain analysis such as Mean HRV, normalized low frequency (norm LF), norm high frequency (norm HF), and LF/HF ratio. Post-massage BP tended to be low, but not statistical significant. After Massage, the Mean HRV, norm LF, and LF/HF ratio were significantly reduced, while norm HF was significantly increased as compared with pre-massage. The muscle layer and fat layer were significantly diminished by massage. The study was suggested that massage may be an effective treatment for relief of stress.

본 연구에서는 긍정감성과 부정감성을 각각 유발시키는 음향을 제시할 때에 반응자의 행동활성화체계(BAS)와 행동억제체계(BIS)의 개인차가 심박동변이도(HRV)에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 조사하기 위하여, BAS와 BIS 민감성의 고저에 따라 네 집단으로 분류된 25명의 대학생(남:14명)에게 명상음악과 소음을 제시하고 심전도를 측정하였다. 심전도로부터 HRV의 전력스펙트럼밀도를 유도하여 3개의 주된 주파수영역에 대한 HRV의 전력을 구하였다[저주파수(LF : low frequency), 중간주파수(MF : medium frequency), 고주파수(HF : high frequency)]. 그 결과, 명상음악을 제시한 경우 BIS와 BAS가 모두 낮은 집단에 비하여 BIS는 낮고 BAS가 높은 집단의 MF/(LF+HF)가 유의하게 높았다. 아울러, 전자의 집단에서 명상음악 청취시가 소음 청취시에 비하여 MF/(LF+HF)가 더 높은 경향을 보였으나, BIS가 높은 경우에는 BAS의 민감성에 관계없이 이러한 경향성을 보이지 않았다. 이 결과는 BIS는 낮고 BAS가 높은 집단은 다른 집단에 비하여 명상음악과 같은 긍정감성에 더 민감하며, MF/(LF+HF)는 긍정 및 부정감성을 평가할 수 있는 지표로 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Purpose : This study aimed to investigate the effects of a thoracic flexibility exercise program on pain, heart rate variability (HRV), and depression in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods : Fifty patients with chronic low back pain participated in this study. Each participant performed a pre-test and post-test. The outcome measures evaluated were a visual analog scale, HRV test results (automatic activity, standard deviation normal to normal [SDNN], low frequency [LF], high frequency [HF], and LF/HF ratio), and the Beck Depression Inventory. Patients underwent conventional physiotherapy for 35 minutes per session. In addition, a thoracic flexibility exercise program (trunk rotation exercise, McKenzie exercise, and supine thoracic extension exercise) were performed 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Results : After the training period, the visual analog scale results showed a significant decrease in the post-test compared to the pre-test. Automatic activity, SDNN, LF, HF, and LF/HF ratio significantly increased in the post-test compared to the pre-test. The Beck depression inventory results significantly decreased in the post-test compared to the pre-test. Conclusion : This study demonstrated that a thoracic flexibility exercise program improves a visual analog scale, HRV (automatic activity, SDNN, LF, HF, and LF/HF ratio), and the Beck Depression Inventory in patients with chronic low back pain.

자율신경계는 불수의적 활동 기능을 조절해 주는 신경계통으로, 자율신경계의 활성 정도를 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 심박 변이도가 이용된다. 그러나 심박 변이도는 환경 변화나 심리 상태의 변화 등에 민감하게 반응하며, 자세와 수면 박탈에 의해서도 심박 변이도가 달라질 수 있다. 특히 전자파 자원자 연구에서는 자각 증상 및 인지 여부에 의한 수면 박탈로 심박 변이도가 달라질 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자세에 따른 수면 박탈 횟수와 심박 변이도를 30분간 6 stage에서 측정하였고, 앉은 자세와 누운 자세에서 측정된 심박 변이도를 비교하여 앉은 자세나 누운 자세에서 심박 변이도를 측정하는 실험에 어떠한 자세가 적합한지 결정하고자 하였다. 심박 변이도 분석은 전력 스펙트럼을 이용한 주파수 영역에서의 LF (low frequency) / HF(high frequency)를 이용하였고, stage 1을 100%로 하여 개인 및 성별에 따른 초기 LF/HF 차이를 상쇄시켜 주었다. LF/HF 증가는 교감 신경의 활성 증가를 나타내고 감소는 교감 신경의 활성 감소를 나타낸다. 교차 분석 결과 수면 박탈은 자세의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며 (p=0.002), LF/HF에 대하여 자세만을 변수로 고려하였다. 앉은 자세에서 수면 박탈 횟수는 모든 stage에서 누운 자세보다 유의하게 적었다 (p<0.05). 자세는 LF/HF에 유의한 영향을 끼쳤으며 (p=0.033), 앉은 자세에서는 stage 1과 비교하여 LF/HF가 stage 4, 5, 6에서 유의하게 증가하였고 (p<0.05), 누운 자세에서는 stage 1과 비교하여 모든 stage에서 LF/HF가 유의하게 증가하였다 (p<0.05). 따라서 앉은 자세가 누운 자세보다 수면 박탈 횟수가 적고 LF/HF 변화가 작기 때문에 피험자가 깨어 있어야 하는 심박 변이도 측정 실험에 있어서 더 적합한 자세라고 사료된다.
