Objectives : The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between swallowing acid symptom and autonomic nerve system in dyspepsia patients. Methods : The test for heart rate variability (HRV) was done to 50 dyspepsia patients at the Department of Internal Medicine, Kang-Nam Kyung-Hee Korean Hospital. 21 among 50 patients had swallowing acid symptom and 29 didn't. We checked HRV and compared HRV index between the two groups. We also divided the patients into functional dyspepsia and organic dyspepsia groups, and then checked HRV respectively. Results were as follows : 1. In dyspepsia patients with swallowing acid, LF/HF ratio was higher than the dyspepsia patients without swallowing acid but the result was not statistically significant. 2. TP, LF, VLF, and LF/HF ratio was higher in the functional dyspepsia group than in the organic dyspepsia group. Average age in the organic dyspepsia group was significantly higher than in the other group. Both results showed statistically significant difference. 3. In the functional dyspepsia group, LF/HF ratio was significantly higher in patients with swallowing acid symptom than those without. However, in eructation and nausea symptoms, HRV index was not statistically significant. Conclusion : This study shows the ratio of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve system increased in the swallowing acid patient group compared with the non-swallowing acid patient group in functional dyspepsia patients.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to examine the effects of self-stretching (SS) and joint mobilization (JM) on pain, craniovertebral angle (CVA), autonomic system function in chronic cervical pain patient with forward head posture (FHP). METHODS: A total of 30 male college students were selected as study subjects, and were divided into Group I (general physical therapy; GPT, n=10), Group II (GPT+SS, n=10), Group III (GPT+JM, n=10). All groups were evaluated three times a week for 4 weeks. Pain was measured by visual analogue scale (VAS), CVA was measured using digital goniometer and autonomic system function (heart rate; HR, skin conductivity; SC, LF norm, HF norm, LF/HF ratio) was measured by Biofeedback ProComp Infiniti. After 4 weeks, paired t-test was used to compare the changes within the group and one way ANOVA was used to compare those between the groups. RESULTS: In Group I, VAS was significantly decreased. In Group II and III was a significantly change in all items. In comparison between Group I and II was a difference in all items except HR. In comparison between Group I and III was a difference in all items. In comparison between Group II and III was a difference in VAS, LF norm and LF/HF ratio. CONCLUSION: This study showed that SS and JM can effectively reduce pain and normalize the autonomic system function.

Purpose : In this study, we aimed to determine how frequencies different of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation applied to the less affected contalesional corticomotor area affect upper extremity motor function in patients with acute stroke within 3 months of onset. By doing so, we aimed to propose a new method of rTMS intervention based on the degree of damage and recovery status of the patient, rather than the generalized rTMS intervention that has been used uniformly. Methods : The rTMS intervention was applied on the contralesional side of the cerebral hemisphere damage. 15 subjects in the HF-rTMS group, 12 subjects in the LF-rTMS group, and 14 subjects in the SF-rTMS group were randomized to receive the rTMS intervention in each group for a total of 10 sessions on five consecutive weekdays for two weeks, and underwent FMA-U to determine changes in upper extremity function following the intervention in each group. FMA-U was performed within 24 hours before and after the rTMS intervention. Results : When the FMA-U was performed to determine the pre- and post-intervention changes in upper extremity motor function within the groups, no statistically significant differences were found in the SF-rTMS group before and after the intervention, but significant statistical differences were found in the HF-rTMS group (p=.006) and the LF-rTMS group (p=.020), with greater significance in the HF-rTMS group than the LF-rTMS group. Conclusion : This study confirmed that compensatory action by activating the less affected contralesional corticomotor area based on the bimodal balance-recovery model can support upper extremity recovery patients with acute stroke within 3 months of onset, depending on the degree of damage level and recovery status. Therefore, the results of the contralesional HF-rTMS application in this study may provide a basis for proposing a new rTMS intervention for upper extremity recovery in stroke patients.

목적: 본 연구는 원적외선을 방사하는 황토 침구를 15명의 불면증 대상자에게 사용하게 한 후에 인체의 자율신경에 어떠한 변화를 일으키는지를 연구하는 것이 목적이었다. 방법: 황토침구를 사용한 대상자들의 변화는 심장박동변이(HRV)로 측정하였다. 결과: 임상군이 황토침구를 사용하기 전의 HF고주파수 평균은 220.8 msec²이었고, 사용한 후의 평균치는 5.1 msec²로 저하되었다. LF저주파수는 사용 전의 평균은 418.1 msec²이었고, 사용한 후의 평균치는 5.2 msec²로 저하되었다. VLF주파수의 사용전의 평균은 1463.3 msec²이었고, 사용한 후의 평균 측정치는 6.8 msec²로 저하되었다. TP주파수는 사용하기 전의 평균값은 977.3 msec²이었고, 사용 후의 평균값은 6.7 msec²로 저하되었다. 이상의 4항목의 사용 후의 측정치의 저하는 통계적으로 모두 유의성이 있었으며, 사용전의 대상자들의 높은 측정치는 대상자들이 모두 장기간 수면장애가 매우 높아서 스트레스와 불안 등이 높은 이유이었다고 유추하였다. 황토침구 사용전의 임상자들의 맥박은 69.3 bpm, 사용 후의 맥박은 70.6 bpm로 유의한차이가 없었다. SDNN 및 RMSSD도 사용전후에 차이가 유의하지 않았다. 결론: 자율신경 HF, LF, VLF, TP주파수는 황토가 발생하는 원적외선의 조사에 영향을 받는다고 평가한다. 본 연구데이터는 이 분야의 기초자료로서 가치가 높다고 평가한다.

Objective: The hull attached to the barley kernel can be mechanically removed thus reducing the fiber content of the barley. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of partial dehulling on the nutrient digestibility as well as the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) content of barley in pigs. Methods: Two hulled barley samples (high fiber barley [HF] and low fiber barley [LF]) with either high or low fiber contents were obtained from the Hubei and Jiangsu Provinces of China. A portion of the two barleys was mechanically dehulled (dehulled high fiber barley [DHF] and dehulled low fiber barley [DLF]). Thirty barrows (initial $BW=31.5{\pm}3.2kg$) were assigned to one of five diets in a randomized complete block design. The five diets consisted of 96.9% corn, HF, LF, DHF, or DLF supplemented with 3.1% minerals and vitamins. Each diet was fed to six barrows housed in individual metabolism crates for a 10-d acclimation period followed by a 5-day total but separate collection of feces and urine. Results: The daily loss of gross energy (GE) in feces was lower (p<0.01) for pigs fed DHF than for those fed HF. The daily N intake and fecal N loss were lowest (p<0.01) for pigs fed the corn diet. The DE and ME as well as the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of dry matter, GE, organic matter, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) of DHF or DLF were higher (p<0.01) than the values in HF and LF, respectively while the values except the ATTD of NDF and ADF in DLF were higher (p<0.01) than the values in DHF and were comparable to corn. Conclusion: The DE and ME contents as well as the ATTD of nutrients in both DHF and DLF barley were improved compared with the HF and LF barley. Moreover, the nutritive value of DLF barley was comparable to the yellow-dent corn used in the study.
