Korean red ginseng (KRG) has been shown to enhance endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in experimental animals; however, little is known about its pharmacological effects on vascular stiffness in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial was carried out to determine whether KRG has beneficial effects on arterial stiffness, cardiovascular risk factors such as plasma lipid profiles and blood pressure (BP), and Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) activity. Twenty patients (mean age, 62.5 years) with stable angina pectoris were given KRG (2.7 g/day) and a placebo alternatively for 10 weeks. Blood biochemical analysis and pulse wave velocity (PWV) recording were performed on day 0 and after the completion of each treatment. ROCK activity was assessed based on the level of phospho-$Thr^{853}$ in the myosin-binding subunit of myosin light chain phosphatase, determined by Western blot analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. KRG significantly decreased the systolic BP, brachial ankle PWV, and heart femoral PWV in the patients (all p<0.05), but did not significantly alter the serum lipid profiles, including triglycerides and total, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. The ROCK activity tended to decrease (p=0.068) following KRG treatment. The placebo did not significantly alter any of the variables. In conclusion, KRG decreased systolic BP and arterial stiffness, probably via the inhibition of ROCK activity, in patients with CAD, but had a neutral effect on serum lipid profiles. Our data suggest that KRG has a therapeutic effect on CAD.

저층 jet와 야간 최대 연안표층풍의 유도 mechanism을 텍사스주의 Port Aransas 와 Victoria지역에서 1976년 6월부터 1980년 8월까지 관측된 바람자료를 사용하여 경압모델에 의해 연구되었다. 이모델은 forcing function인 종관 및 중기압 경도, 마찰력과 대기안정도를 고려하여 개발된다. 연구결과는 야간최대 연안표층풍 에 대해 저층 jet가 95%의 출현빈도를 보여준다. 여름철에는 경사지형에 의한 경압 성이 thermal field의 일변화를 초래한다. 이 온도풍이 낮에는 탁월한 남풍의 풍속을 감소시키고 밤에는 증가시킨 다. 야간대기안정도는 마찰력 유리를 유도하므로 야간 저층 jet를 강화한다. 해안에서는 중립안정도가 지배적이고 또 저층 jet로부터 운동 량의 연직전이는 야간 최대연안표층풍을 형성한다. 저층 jet의 출현고도는 역전층과 의 뚜렷한 관계를 보여주지 않으며, 이 모델에 의한 계산결과는 관측치와 잘 일치 한다.

Background: A forward head posture (FHP) is one of the most common types of poor head posture in patients with neck disorder. A prolonged FHP might increase pressure on the posterior cranio-cervical structure and exhibit reduced performance on a cranio-cervical flexion test (CCFT). CCFT is included to activate deep cervical flexor muscles and inhibit excessive activation of superficial cervical flexor muscles. Therefore, the selective activation of deep cervical flexors is needed for effective exercise for FHP. Objects: The purpose of this study was to compare muscle thickness between longus colli (Lco) and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) using ultrasonography in subjects with FHP depending on head support. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, case-control research design study. The ultrasonographic images of Lco and SCM were taken in 17 subjects with FHP during the 5 phases of the CCFT with and without a head support. Towel was used for supporting head to make the neutral head position in supine. Changes in muscle thickness during the test were calculated to infer muscle activation. Data were analyzed using repeated measures of two-way analysis of variance with the significance level of .05. Results: When subjects performed the CCFT with head support, there was a significant difference in muscle thickness of Lco and SCM (p<.05). According to a post hoc paired t-test, change of thickness of Lco was greater at all phases, and change of thickness of SCM muscle was less at phase 4 and 5 in condition with head support (p<.01) compared to condition without head support (p<.01). Conclusion: The result of this study suggest that applying head support for neutral head position during CCFT could be a useful method for activating Lco muscle without excessive activation of SCM muscle.

The angular momentum transport of an idealized axisymmetric vortex in the developing stage was investigated using the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. The balanced axisymmetric vortex was constructed based on an empirical function for tangential wind, and the temperature, geopotential, and surface pressure were obtained from the balanced equation. The numerical simulation was carried out for 6 days on the f-plane with the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) set as constant. The weak vortex at initial time was intensified with time, and reached the strength of tropical cyclone in a couple of days. The Absolute Angular Momentum (AAM) was transported along with the secondary circulation of the vortex. Total AAM integrated over a cylinder of radius of 2000 km decreased with simulation time, but total kinetic energy increased rapidly. From the budget analysis, it was found that the surface friction is mainly responsible for the decrease of total AAM. Also, contribution of the surface friction to the AAM loss was about 90% while that of horizontal advection was as small as 8%. The trajectory of neutral numerical tracers following the secondary circulation was presented for the Lagrangian viewpoint of the transports of absolute angular momentum. From the analysis using the trajectory of tracers it was found that the air parcel was under the influence of the surface friction continuously until it leaves the boundary layer near the core. Then the air parcel with reduced amount of angular momentum compared to its original amount was transported from boundary layer to upper level of the vortex and contributed to form the anti-cyclone. These results suggest that the tropical cyclone loses angular momentum as it develops, which is due to the dissipation of angular momentum by the surface friction.

The purpose of this qualitative research was to examine the behavior patterns and activities related to the clothing of older women. A total of 31 older women were interviewed regarding indoor/outdoor wearing conditions, thermal sensation indoors, and their clothing perception related to health. The final outcomes were as follows. Firstly, interviewees viewed indoor temperature as neutral in the spring and fall. Many people felt cool or warm in the summer and warm or cold in the winter. Secondly, they controlled indoor temperature with an air conditioner and/or fan and by opening the window and/or wearing less clothing. In winter, most respondents used a heating system and wore more clothing. It seemed that the level of dependence on clothing was higher in winter. Thirdly, the number of garment layer indoors was similar among the four seasons, and many wore underwear. However, there were individual variations. Fourthly, interviewees tended to perceive clothing in relation to health. Textile materials appropriate to the season were firstly viewed as related to health, followed by climate adaptability, clothing pressure, UV protection, and aesthetic satisfaction. Fifthly, respondents showed positive attitudes towards health improvement by clothing even though they lacked information on it. From this research, older women showed positive the perception and attitudes regarding clothing from a health perspective. Since they lacked information, education is needed regarding the bases and ways to improve health through clothing behavior.

LPG를 저장하는 지하공동의 수장막 시스템은 고압의 가스가 공동 밖으로 새어나가지 못하도록 원활한 지하수의 흐름과 안정적인 지하수두 유지가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 전남 여수 LPG공동의 유출수 및 주변 지하수의 수질특성을 파악하기 위하여 2007년 2월, 5월, 8월, 10월에 걸쳐 시료채취, 현장측정 및 실내 수질분석을 실시하였다. 현장 측정 결과 pH는 약산성에서 중성으로 나타났고 10월로 갈수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 전기전도도는 소금적치장과 인접한 관정의 경우 $10.47{\sim}38.50\;mS/cm$로 매우 높게 나타났다. 용존산소는 $0.20{\sim}8.74\;mg/L$로 매우 넓은 범위를 보였고, 산화환원전위는 평균 159 mV로 비교적 산화환경임을 나타냈다. 또 $Fe^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$의 농도는 대부분 3 mg/L 미만으로 나타났다. 수질유형은 유출수의 경우 4차례 모두 Na-Cl type로 나타났으나 지하수의 경우 소금적치장 인접 관측정은 Na-Cl type으로 높은 TDS를 보였다. 다른 지하수 관측정은 전형적인 $Ca-HCO_3$ type으로 나타났다. 미생물 분석결과 호기성세균의 수가 $573{\sim}39,520\;CFU/mL$로 비교적 높게 검출되었다. 본 연구에서 수리화학 및 미생물학적 특성을 분석한 결과 지하수와 유출수는 여수 저장공동의 운영에 있어서 큰 문제를 일으키지 않을 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 미생물 증식의 제어와 수리적 안정성을 유지하기 위해서는 지속적인 모니터링이 요구된다.
