Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate nail hygiene behaviors and to identify the relationship between hand hygiene beliefs and nail hygiene behaviors among dental hygienists, dental's aide and dental coordinator in South Korea. Methods: The subjects were 291 dental workers including dental hygienists, dental assistant and dental coordinator working full-time at dental clinics, dental hospitals, general dental hospitals and dental university hospitals in Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi-do. The questionnaire consisted of a total 35 items, including 4 items on general characteristics, 25 items on hand hygiene, 2 items on "nail art" experience, and 4 items on nail hygiene behaviors. The collected data were analyzed using an independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, chi-square test, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis, where ${\alpha}<0.05$ was considered statistically significant. Results: The scores of behavioral beliefs, normative beliefs, control beliefs and nail hygiene behaviors were $5.15{\pm}0.58$, $5.26{\pm}0.81$, $3.69{\pm}0.96$ and $5.03{\pm}0.98$, respectively. Statistically significant relationships were detected in terms of participants' clinical experiences with respect to behavioral and normative beliefs (p<0.05 for all three belief categories). Participants working in general dental hospitals and dental university hospitals demonstrated the highest scores for behavioral, normative and control beliefs (p<0.05). Participants working in dental clinics reported the highest "nail art" experience rates in the last two years (45.5%) and at the time of the survey (15.7%; p<0.05). Nail hygiene behaviors were more likely to be observed in individuals with stronger behavioral and stronger normative beliefs (p<0.05). Conclusions: More specific infection control guidelines for "nail art" among dental workers should be established and promoted, so that both patients and dental workers can interact in a safe environment.

Objectives: The study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the maturity of dental biofilm, which was assessed with quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital(QLF-D), in a sample of Korean older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 67 participants, aged 65 years and older. All participants completed a questionnaire and tests to measure their manual dexterity and handgrip strength, which are parameters that indicate hand function abilities. To evaluate dental biofilm maturity, 804 surfaces of six index teeth were imaged using QLF-D and then quantified as ${\Delta}R$ values. All data were collected from May 25, 2017 to April 30, 2018. The independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and step-wise multiple linear regression were performed to analyze the factors associated with the maturity of dental biofilm (${\Delta}R$). Results: The multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that the factor most strongly related to dental biofilm maturity(${\Delta}R$) was manual dexterity (${\beta}=-0.326$), followed by handgrip strength (${\beta}=-0.303$) and use of interdental cleaning devices (${\beta}=-0.283$) (p<0.05). Conclusions: Manual dexterity, handgrip strength, and use of interdental cleaning devices are factors that can predict dental biofilm maturity in adults aged 65 years or older. Therefore, the hand function of a patient should be evaluated first, before assessing the oral hygiene status of the patient or providing him/her with oral health education, and the dental hygienist should provide differentiated oral hygiene care depending on the patient's hand function ability. Finally, dental hygienists should help older adults to recognize the importance of auxiliary oral hygiene devices such as interdental brushes and keep motivating them to use the devices more frequently.

Background: Pillar pain may develop after carpal tunnel release surgery (CTRS). This prospective double-blinded randomized trial investigated the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in pillar pain relief and hand function improvement. Methods: The sample consisted of 60 patients with post-CTRS pillar pain, randomized into two groups. The ESWT group (experimental) received three sessions of ESWT, while the control group received three sessions of sham ESWT, one session per week. Participants were evaluated before treatment, and three weeks, three months, and six months after treatment. The pain was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS). Hand functions were assessed using the Michigan hand outcomes questionnaire (MHQ). Results: The ESWT group showed significant improvement in VAS and MHQ scores after treatment at all time points compared to the control group (P < 0.001). Before treatment, the ESWT and control groups had a VAS score of 6.8 ± 1.3 and 6.7 ± 1.0, respectively. Three weeks after treatment, they had a VAS score of 2.8 ± 1.1 and 6.1 ± 1.0, respectively. Six months after treatment, the VAS score was reduced to 1.9 ± 0.9 and 5.1 ± 1.0, respectively. The ESWT group had a MHQ score of 54.4 ± 7.7 before treatment and 73.3 ± 6.8 six months after. The control group had a MHQ score of 54.2 ± 7.1 before treatment and 57.8 ± 4.4 six months after. Conclusions: ESWT is an effective and a safe non-invasive treatment option for pain management and hand functionality in pillar pain.

수부재활훈련도구는 저하된 수부 기능 회복 및 전체적인 수부 기능 향상을 필요로 하는 환자와 사용자들을 위해 병원 및 가정에서 치료와 함께 병행한다. 이에 따라 다양한 목적의 수부재활훈련도구의 개발 또한 함께 이루어 지고 있으며, 많은 도구가 보급되어 각 병원에서 규정한 프로세스로 재활훈련을 진행하고 있다. 그러나 현재 병원에서 활용하는 훈련도구들은 점진적인 시스템으로 구성되어 있지 않고 일정 시간동안 단순반복성 동작을 유도한다. 따라서 재활훈련을 하는 환자들이 무료함을 느끼며 재활에 대한 동기부여를 갖지 못하므로 지속적이고 효과적인 훈련이 어렵다. 또한, 훈련에 활용되는 도구들은 고가인 경우가 대부분이며, 공간적 제한성으로 인해 환자의 자발적 재활훈련을 어렵게 한다. 이는 환자의 경제적 부담을 가중시킴과 동시에 올바른 신체적 향상을 가져오지 못하는 문제로 이어질 수 있다. 이러한 논점을 바탕으로 본 연구는 놀이요소 중 하나인 실뜨기를 접목해 과제를 통한 효과적 재활훈련이 이루어질 수 있도록 하고, 경제적이며 자유로운 재활이 이루어질 수 있도록 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 도구의 특성과 사용자 환경을 조사한 후 실뜨기 놀이와, 훈련도구와의 관련성 및 지속적인 재활이 가능한지에 대한 타당성을 확인하고 전문가 인터뷰를 통해 디자인 요소를 도출하였다. 이후 디자인 가이드라인 및 프로토타입을 제작해 사용성 테스트 및 디자인요소 평가를 진행하여 문제점을 보완하였다.

The effects of feeding frequency on the growth, food consumption, body composition, and hematological response of the Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegelii were investigated for 77 days at ambient water temperatures (17.2-24.5℃) in a sea cage in Tongyeong, Korea. Three replicate groups of fish were hand-fed to satiation with a commercial diet in one of four different feeding frequency trials (one meal every 2 days, and one, two and three meals per day). At the end of the experiment, the mean weight gain, specific growth rate, and daily feed intake of fish fed one and two meals per day were significantly higher than those of fish fed one meal every 2 days or three meals per day. The feed efficiency of the fish fed three meals per day was significantly lower than that of the fish in the other groups. The glucose concentration of fish fed one meal every 2 days was significantly higher than that of the other groups. We conclude that the optimum feeding frequency for improving the growth of Korean rockfish weighing 100-200 g reared in sea cages is one meal per day under our experimental conditions.

초음파영상에서 담낭내의 종양(tumor)과 담석(GB stone)을 확인하기 위하여 환자의 체위(position) 변동에 의한 움직임 유무를 확인하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 보통 간담도계의 초음파 검사는 환자를 바로누운자세(supine)에서 시행되고 있으며 담낭결석은 후방음영(acoustic shadow)을 나타내는 초음파영상의 특성으로 쉽게 구분하고 있으나, 모든 결석이 후방음영을 나타내는 것은 아니므로 체위변동과 같은 방법을 취하여 확인할 수 있는 것이다. 또 개인에 따라 담낭의 모양이나 위치의 다양성을 고려할 때, 담낭내의 결석이나 담니 그리고 종양 등의 다른 병변과 구별진단할 수 있는 영상정보를 제공한다는 것은 매우 중요한 것이다. 담낭내에 다양하게 위치하고 있는 결석에 대하여 환자체위변동(supine, Lt. down decubitus, $30^{\circ} LAO. sitting and hand-knee)에 따른 결석의 이동상태를 영상으로 기록하고 결석과 종양을 쉽고 빠른시간내에 비교적 정확하게 구별할 수 있는 초음파 영상체위를 확인하였다. 담낭경부(neck), 체부(body), 저부(fundus)에 위치하고 있는 한 개 또는 여러 개의 결석이 환자의 Hand-knee 체위에 100%가 이동하여 담낭결석증과 용종(polyp)과 같이 구별을 뚜렷하게 나타낼 수 있었다. 담낭결석의 위치에 따라 결석의 이동은 완전하게 움직이지 않아 종양과 유사한 유형으로 나타났으나 hand-knee 체위에서는 담낭내 결석위치에 관계없이 모두 이동되어 종양성 질환과 쉽게 구분 할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 시행함에 있어 담낭의 종양성 질환과 같이 체위변화에 따라 이동이 없을 경우 hand-knee 체위로 반드시 확인할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.GD값이 가장 높았다. 그러나 target/filter의 조합이 다양하게 바뀐 CM에서는 두께나 glandularity에 따른 AGD의 곡선이 가장 완만하게 증가하였으며, AGD값이 가장 낮았다. 이와 같이 두께와 glandularity가 증가함에 따라 target/filter의 조합이 Mo/Mo에서 Mo/Rh으로 더 증가하면 Rh/Rh으로 바뀌는 것이 AGD의 증가량이 적어 환자의 피폭선량 측면에서 바람직하다. 따라서 유방촬영에서 환자의 피폭선량을 평가하기 위해서는 검출효율 외에도 여러 가지 촬영 변수가 중요한 역할을 한다.었다.

In this study, we introduce the main ideas on the control and strategy used by the robot soccer team of the Universidad de Buenos hires, UBA-Sot. The basis of our approach is to obtain a cooperative behavior, which emerges from homogeneous sets of individual behaviors. Except for the goalkeeper, the behavior set of each robot contains a small number of individual behaviors. Basically, the individual behaviors have the same core: to move from the initial to-ward the target coordinates. However, these individual behaviors differ because each one has a different precondition associated with it. Each precondition is the combination of a number of elementary ones. The aim of our approach is to answer the following questions: How can the robot compute the preconditions in time\ulcorner How are the control actions defined, which allow the robot to move from the initial toward the final coordinates\ulcorner The way we cope with these issues is, on the one hand, to use ball and robot predictors and, on the other hand, to use very fast planning. Our proposal is to use planning in such a way that the behavior obtained is closer to a reactive than a deliberative one. Simulations and experiments on real robots, based on this approach, have so far given encouraging results.

Selenium is considered to be one of the most controversial trace elements. On the one hand, it is toxic at high doses and there is a great body of information related to environmental issues of Se contamination. On the other hand, Se deficiency is a global problem related to an increased susceptibility to various diseases of animals and humans and decreased productive and reproductive performance of farm animals. Optimisation of Se nutrition of poultry and farm animals will result in increased efficiency of egg, meat and milk production and even more important, will improve quality. From the data presented in the review it is clear that the main lesson which we have to learn from nature is how to use organic selenium in animal and human diets. Selenium-enriched yeast (Sel-Plex) is the result of such a lesson and it is just a matter of time before animal nutrition moves completely from using ineffective sodium selenite to organic selenium. Other lessons from nature will follow. Recent advances in genomics and proteomics, in association with descriptions of new selenoproteins, will be a driving force in reconsidering old approaches related to Se nutrition. Probably 90% of all Se research has been conducted with sodium selenite and we now understand that the natural form of selenium is different. The main advances in Se status assessment and Se requirements were established based on the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), an enzyme which for many years was considered to be the main selenoprotein. Recently it was discovered that it is only one of at least 25 various selenoproteins. Se research and practical applications are developing quickly and they are very exciting and promising.
