Objectives: The aim of this study is to review the significance of managing "Mibyeong" in geriatric health in Korean medicine and psychology. Methods: We performed a literature search using OASIS, Koreantk, RISS, DBpia, and PubMed databases. We retrieved research articles using the keywords related to mibyeong (未病), sub-health (亞健康), Korean-medicine, psychology and geriatric health. Results: Both Korean medicine and psychology emphasize biological, psychological, and social balance and well-being. In addition, both value individual personality and constitution. Mibyeong is a Korean medical concept suggesting sub-health. Elderly individuals who are in a state of Mibyeong are frail and vulnerable to disorders and illness. Since depression, chronic diseases, low physical and mental activity have fatal outcomes in frail and elderly subjects, positive psychological support and active management of Mibyeong are very important. Conclusions: Geriatric health conditions are associated with chronic disease and multiple risk factors, including physiological, psychological, social, and economic conditions. A preventive and integrative approach is essential for geriatric health as prevention is better than cure for most geriatric diseases and illnesses.

Purpose: This study was to explore the effects of trunk exercise using PNF combined with treadmill training on balance and walking ability in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods: This study included 16 patients with Parkinson's disease. Participants were randomly assigned to 2 groups: an experimental group (n=8) and a control group (n=8). All participants underwent treadmill training for 30 minutes. In addition, the experimental group (trunk exercise using PNF) and control group (conventional training) participated in a 30-minute exercise program. Both groups performed the training 5 times per week for 4 weeks. Disease severity (determined using the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale motor subscale, UPDRS-3), balance (determined using the Berg balance scale, BBS), walking speed (determined using the 10-meter walking test, 10MWT), and walking endurance (determined using the 6-minute walking test, 6MWT) were measured at baseline and after 4 weeks. Results: Pre- to post-intervention improvement was noted on all outcome measures for both groups (p<0.05). Post-intervention, there was a significant improvement in the experimental group as compared to the control group for the following measured outcomes (p<0.05): UPDRS-3 (p=0.03; 95% CI, -5.52 to -0.24), BBS (p=0.04; 95% CI, 0.59 to 6.45), 10MWT (p=0.01; 95% CI, -2.19 to -0.42), and 6MWT (p=0.04; 95% CI, 1.81 to 96.72) Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that trunk exercise using PNF plus treadmill training improves balance and walking ability as compared to conventional training plus treadmill training in patients with Parkinson's disease.

2000년 초 비영리 기관에 의해 시범적으로 도입되었던 마이크로크레딧은, 보건복지부에서 2005년부터 2008년까지 자활공동체 창업지원사업과 희망키움뱅크 사업의 형태로 추진되다가, 2009년 미소금융정책으로 결정되는 과정을 거치며 정책이 변화되는 양상을 보였다. 대표적인 변화로는 보건복지부에서 금융위원회로의 관할 부처의 변경, 복지적 접근에서 금융적 접근의 강조, 수행기관의 신설 등을 들 수 있다. 이러한 갑작스런 변화의 원인을 분석하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 Hood(1994)와 주재현(1999)에서 제시한 분석틀을 활용하여 그 정책변동과정을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 실업률 증가와 금융환경 변화, 금융위기 등의 외적 상황의 변화, 이명박 정부의 중도 실용 추진 의지 및 마이크로크레딧 실험 성공 등의 정책 아이디어의 힘, 수동적인 개입을 보여준 이해관계의 힘, 그리고 각 부처의 정책관성에서 비롯된 내적요인들이 그 원인으로 밝혀졌다. 특히 이러한 변동의 요인 속에 드러난 다양한 이해관계자 참여의 부재는 비합리적인 방식으로 정책을 산출할 가능성을 높음을 시사해 주고 있다.

높은 주파수 효율 때문에 무선 통신에 널리 쓰이고 있는 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 방식의(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing: OFDM) 문제점 중 하나는 높은 첨두대평균 전력비(peak to average power ratio: PAPR) 이다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 되먹임 정보를 가지는 송신 다중 안테나(multiple input single output: MISO) 빔성형 OFDM(beamforming OFDM) 시스템을 위한 PAPR 감소 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 채널의 영공간(null space)에서 생성된 부가신호를 원 신호에 더하여 PAPR을 줄이는 방법에 기반한다. 먼저 전체 채널 되먹임을 가정한 기존의 시스템을 부분 채널 정보 되먹임 시스템에 적용할 때의 문제점을 파악하고, 이를 바탕으로 수신 성능 열화를 줄이면서 PAPR을 감소시키는 부가 신호에 대한 가중 함수를 제안한다. 가중 함수는 수치적으로 구하며 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 통해 제안된 방식이 비트오류율(bit error rate: BER) 성능 손실은 거의 없으면서 2.5dB 정도의 PAPR감소 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of postural control training on balance and walking ability in chronic stroke patients. METHODS: Eighteen chronic stroke patients were allocated equally and randomly to an experimental group (n=9) or a control group (n=9). All participants received 60 minutes of comprehensive rehabilitation treatment, the experimental group additionally received a postural control training for 30 minutes, while the control group additionally performed a treadmill training for 30 minutes. These 30-minute training sessions were held five times per week for three weeks. Balance was assessed using Berg balance scale (BBS) and walking ability (gait speed, cadence, step length, and double limb support) was assessed using the GAITRite system. RESULTS: Improvement on all outcome measures was identified from pre-to-post intervention for both groups (p<.05). Post-intervention, there was a significant between-group difference on measured outcomes (p<.05). The experimental group exhibited greater improvement in the gait speed (p=.01; 95% CI .08-.16), cadence (p=.04; 95% CI .34-4.79), step length (p=.02; 95% CI 1.50-5.17), double limb support period (p=.04; 95% CI -2.18 to -.14), and BBS (p=.01; 95% CI 1.04-6.74) compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study suggest that postural control training may be beneficial for improving balance and walking ability of patients with chronic stroke.

Makgeolli lees (ML) has several physiological effects such as antioxidant, antidiabetic, and anticancer properties, but its biological functions have not been determined definitively. Here, we tested whether ML has a cytoprotective effect on paraquat (PQ)-induced oxidative stress in the human lung carcinoma cell line A549. At 0.1 mg/ml ML, viability of PQ-exposed A549 cells was restored by 12.4%, 18.5%, and 48.6% after 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. ML also reduced production of the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) that were generated by PQ treatment. Further experiments revealed that ML treatment enhanced the expression and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) as well as ARE-GFP reporter activity. ML treatment also effectively increased the expression of NRF2's target genes NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 (NQO1) and heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1). Moreover, we found that expression of cytoprotective genes, including glutathione peroxidases (GPXs), superoxide dismutase (SOD1), catalase (CAT), peroxiredoxin 3 (PRDX3), and peroxiredoxin 4 (PRDX4), was greatly enhanced by treatment with ML during PQ exposure. Taken together, the data suggest that treatment of PQ-exposed A549 cells with ML ameliorates cytotoxicity through induction of NRF2 expression and its target genes HO-1, NQO1, and other antioxidant genes. Thus, ML may serve as a functional food applicable to ROS-mediated human diseases.
