궤도틀림은 직접 궤도검측을 통해서도 평가가 가능하지만, 차체 진동가속도의 계측을 통해서도 간접적으로 관리상태를 파악할 수 있으며, 최근 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 간접적인 방법을 통해 국내 경부고속철도 자갈궤도의 유지보수 수준을 조사하고 평가하기 위하여, 국내 경부고속철도와 프랑스 고속철도(TGV)의 차체 진동가속도 계측을 수행하고 UIC518 규격에 제시된 방법에 따라 차체 진동가속도 계측 데이터에 대한 신호처리를 수행하였다. 차체 진동가속도는 차량의 주행속도에 따라서도 영향을 많이 받으므로, 신호처리된 계측결과를 속도대역별로 구분하여 상하방향 차체가속도 및 좌우방향 차체가속도의 크기에 따른 빈도분포를 계산하였다. 이렇게 계산된 빈도분포로부터 차량 주행속도에 따른 차체 진동가속도의 분포특성을 조사하고 UIC518에 제시된 기준과 비교하였다. 또한, 경부고속철도와 프랑스 고속철도의 상하방향 및 좌우방향 차체가속도의 빈도분포에 대한 정량적 비교분석을 수행하고, 국내 경부고속철도 자갈궤도 구간의 궤도틀림 관리수준을 평가하였다.

The aim of present investigation was to clinically measure the thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa in the hard palate as potential donor site for mucogingival surgery, to determine the relation to shape of palatal vault, form of tooth, gender, and to serve the clinical criteria t o choose the proper surgical technique. 84(mean age:25yrs) systemically and periodontally healthy volunteers participated in this study and 18 standard measurement points were defined in the hard palate, located on 3 lies which ran at different distances parallel to the gingival margin. 6 positions were designated on each of these 3 lines between the level of canine and 2nd molar and a bone sounding technique using a periodontal probe with minimal local anesthesia was utilized to assess the thickness of palatal masticatory mucosa. Student t-test was used to determine the difference in mucosal thickness between 2 groups gender, shape of palatal vault (high palatal vault vs. low palatal vault), tooth form (short-wide vs. long narrow) The result of this study were as follows: 1. Soft tissue thickness progressively increased in sites further away from the gingival margin (p<0.01). 2. Depending on position, in line a and line c the masticatory mucosal thickness increased from Ca to M2(p<0.01), but in line b the thickness increased from Ca to P2, and decreased to M1 and increased again to M2. 3. Gender did not influence the thickness of masticatory mucosa. 4. Palatal vault shape was associated with the thickness of masticatory mucosa. Thickness of low palatal vault group was thicker than high palatal group between P2 and M2 position. 5. Form of tooth did not influence the thickness of masticatory mucosa. In conclusion, palatal vault shape was associated with the thickness of masticatory mucosa. So, mucogingival surgery can be considered as a treatment modality in high palatal vault group. But, Gender and tooth form did not influence the thickness of masticatory mucosa.

Objective : In this study, the Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program was applied to patients presenting with depression and anxiety after surgery from spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and the effects were assessed. Methods : The subjects were patients admitted for cerebral aneurysm rupture and treated by means of surgery from March to December, 2007. More than 6 months had passed after surgery, without any special lesions showing up on computed tomography (CT), and the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) was 5 points. Among patients with anxiety and depression symptoms, 11 patients completed the program. The MBSR program was conducted once a week, 2.5 hours each, for 8 weeks. The evaluation criteria were : 1) the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI): it measures the type and level of depression, 2) the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory : the anxiety state of normal adults without mental disorder, and 3) Heart Rate Variability (HRV) : the influence of the autonomous nervous system on the sinoarterial node varies continuously in response to the change of the internal/external environment. Results : The BDI value was decreased from 18.5 ${\pm}$ 10.9 to 9.5 ${\pm}$ 7.1 (p = 0.013) : it was statistically significant, and the depression level of patients was lowered. The state anxiety was decreased from 51.3 ${\pm}$ 13.9 to 42.3 ${\pm}$ 15.2; the trait anxiety was reduced from 50.9 ${\pm}$ 12.3 to 41.3 ${\pm}$ 12.8, and a borderline significant difference was shown (p = 0.091, p = 0.056). In other words, after the treatment, although it was not statistically significant, a decreased tendency in anxiety was shown. In the HRV measurement, standard deviation normal to normal (SDNN), square root of the square root of the mean sum of squared differences between adjacent normal to normal intervals (RMSSD), and total power (TP) showed significant increase, Physical Stress Index (PSI) showed a significant reduction, and thus an improvement in the homeostatic control mechanism of the autonomic nervous system was ween. Conclusion : The MBSR program was applied to the patients showing anxiety and depression reaction after SAH treatment, and a reduction in depression symptoms and physiological reactions were observed. The application of the MBSR program may be considered as a new tool in improving the quality of life for patients after surgery.

본 연구에서는 현장시험 및 계측결과를 바탕으로 인발저항을 향상시킬 수 있는 띠형 섬유보강재가 적용된 블록식 보강토옹벽의 안정성 및 거동특성을 평가하였다. 연구대상 현장에 적용된 전면벽체는 경관연출이 가능하며, 보강재는 수동저항부에 의한 인발저항 향상 효과를 고려할 수 있다. 현장시험은 토압, 전면벽체의 수평변위 및 보강재 인장변형률에 대한 계측을 수행하였다. 현장시험 결과, 전면벽체에 작용하는 토압은 적용된 보강재의 토압분산 효과에 기인하여 이론토압에 비하여 낮은 토압이 발생하였으며, 전면벽체의 수평변위는 경험적 변위기준을 만족하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 띠형 섬유보강재의 인장변형률은 보강토옹벽의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서 적용된 수동저항부를 고려한 띠형 섬유보강재는 블록식 보강토옹벽의 적용에 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 적용한 블록식 보강토옹벽은 구조적으로 안정성을 유지하기 때문에, 공용이 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.

지반의 표면에서 비파괴적으로 지반의 구조나 하부강성을 구하는 표면파 기법의 초기형태는 2차원 평면파의 측정과 해석에 기반을 두었으나, 이후 3차원 입체파에 기반을 두는 형태로 발전하였다. 그러나 체적파의 간섭, 근접장 효과, 표면파 측정해상도의 한계 등으로 인하여 3차원 입체파의 활용은 제한적이었고, 측정 지반을 대표하는 1차원 평가에 국한되었다. 본 연구에서는 SASW 시험의 수치모델링을 통하여 수직 레일레이파, 수평 레일레이파, 러브파 등의 표면파 전파 특성을 3차원 영역에서 심도있게 고찰하였으며, 표면파의 근접장 효과를 최소화하기 위한 새로운 필터조건을 정립하였고, 결과적으로 CAP(common-array-profiling)-SASW라는 기법이라고 하는 개선된 표면파 기법을 제안하게 되었다. CAP-SASW 기법의 적용으로 인하여 좁은 폭의 지반단면에 대한 전단파 속도 주상도 평가가 가능하게 되었고, 지반 단면에 대한 2차원 지반강성 평가도 가능하게 되었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 기법의 검증을 위하여 자연 지반을 대상으로 하여 CAP-SASW 시험, 기존 SASW 시험, 다운홀 시험 등을 수행하여 획득된 전단파 주상도를 비교하였다.

Purpose: Restoration of ankle stability through the strengthening exercise of peroneus muscles is considered an important factor for achievement of successful outcomes, in the rehabilitation program following ankle ligament injuries. However, there were few definitive data on normal muscle strength, including eversion power by peroneus muscles. This study was conducted to evaluate the muscle strength of ankle joint measured using an isokinetic dynamometer in normal Koreans. Materials and Methods: Sixty adults (120 ankles) were recruited and divided into three groups (20 in their twenties, 20 in thirties, and 20 in forties). Each group consisted of 10 males and 10 females. The selection criteria were no history of ankle injury and no evidence of instability. The peak torque, total work, and deficit ratio were measured using the Biodex$^{TM}$ (Biodex Medical Systems). Differences in muscle strength by age, gender and dominant versus non-dominant side were analyzed. Results: The peak torque of dorsiflexion was average 31.5 Nm at $30^{\circ}/s$ of angular velocity and 18.8 Nm at $90^{\circ}/s$; average 69.3 Nm ($30^{\circ}/s$) and 42.4 Nm ($90^{\circ}/s$) on plantarflexion; average 19.6 Nm ($30^{\circ}/s$) and 10.8 Nm ($90^{\circ}/s$) on inversion; average 12.9 Nm ($30^{\circ}/s$) and 8.0 Nm ($90^{\circ}/s$) on eversion. The deficit ratio of strength in women was average 61.1% of men on dorsiflexion; average 66.2% on plantarflexion; average 48.5% on inversion; average 55.4% on eversion. The deficit ratio in non-dominant foot was average 88.6% of dominant foot on dorsiflexion; average 90.1% on plantarflexion; average 85.1% on inversion; average 85.6% on eversion. Conclusion: The muscle strength of the ankle joint showed a tendency to weaken with age. There were significant differences in muscle strength by gender and dominancy. Further studies for comparison of patients with ankle instability, a comparison between before and after surgery for instability, the correlation between clinical outcomes and the recovery in muscle strength will be needed.

Panax ginseng is the one of best famous phytochemical plant in the world and it's various positive effects such as antioxidant, regulation of immunity are very well known. In this study, we investigated primary the cell viability and morphological change and secondary an antioxidative effect and liver function improvement of extract from Ginseng folium and stem in CCl4 intoxicated rats. The NCTC cell line were used for cell viability and sirius red staining before the animal experiment. The female Sprague-Dawley rats (90-100g) were divided into 3 groups (Normal, AC: CCl₄ treated group, GFS: CCl₄+ extract of Ginseng folium and stem treated group) and acute liver damage was developed by one time administration of CCl₄ mixture (0.5㎖/rat). The liver tissue and sera were collected and used for quantitative measurement of enzyme activity (AST, ALT, ALP, BUN), MDA and Hyp. As a result, cell viability in GFS treated group (in concentration of 3.33-33.33㎎ GFS/200㎕ medium) was 180.9-241.0% significantly and dose dependently higher than in control group. And potential state of cell growth and differentiation and no criteria of cytoplasm lysis and nucleus breaking were observed in control and GFS group. The parameters of liver function (AST and ALP) in sera of GFS group showed significantly 93% and 67.6% lower than AC group (p<0.005-0.05). And the level of ALT and BUN showed fast similar in AC group and GFS group. The concentration of MDA in liver was decreased 576.5% significantly in GFS group when compared with AC group (p<0.005). The content of Hyp in GFS group is merely lower than in AC group. In conclusion, the water extract of Ginseng folium and stem such as Ginseng radix may be possessed the antioxidative effect and improvement of liver function in CCl₄ intoxicated rats.

Objectives : This study was conducted to integrate the results of studies assessing the association between chronic noise exposure and blood pressure. Methods : Using a MEDLINE search with noise exposure, blood pressure and hypertension as key words, we retrieved articles from the literature that were published from 1980 to December 1999. The criteria for quality evaluation were as follows: 1) the study subjects must have been workers employed at a high noise level area 2) The paper should use average and cumulative noise exposure as method for exposure evaluation. 3) Blood pressure in each article should be reported in a continuous scale Among the 77 retrieved articles, six studies were selected for quantitative meta-analysis. Before the integration of the regression coefficients for the association between blood pressure and noise level, homogeneity tests were conducted. Results : All studies were a cross-sectional design and the study subjects were industrial workers. Five papers used a time-weighted average for noise exposure and only one paper calculated the cumulative noise exposure level. The measurement of blood pressure in the majority of studios were accomplished in a resting stale, and used an average of two or more readings. The homogeneity of studies was rejected in a fixed effect model, so we used the results in a random effect model. The results of the quantitative meta-analysis, the weighted regression coefficient of noise associated with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were 0.05 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.03, 0.13) and 0.06 (95% CI: -0.01, 0.13), respectively. Conclusions : Our results suggested that chronic exposure to industrial noise does not cause elevated blood pressure.
