Background: Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (MPDS), otherwise called myofascial pain is one of the most common temporomandibular disorders, which in turn is the most common cause of orofacial pain of non-dental origin. Its etiology is multifactorial and still poorly understood. Psychological factors have been shown to play a role in the etiology. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between anxiety and salivary cortisol levels in patients with myofascial pain. Methods: Twenty patients suffering from myofascial pain were recruited as the study group. The same number of age and sex matched healthy individuals were taken as the control group. The salivary samples collected between 9-9:15 am from both groups were analyzed for cortisol levels with the competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Anxiety levels of 40 patients were measured using Hamilton's anxiety scale. Results: The mean serum cortisol level of the MPDS group showed a highly significant difference (P < 0.001) from the controls. The mean anxiety scores of the MPDS group showed a highly significant difference (P < 0.001) from the controls. A positive correlation was found between anxiety and the salivary cortisol levels in MPDS patients. Conclusions: These findings suggest that anxiety plays a vital role in the etio-pathogenesis of MPDS; thus, besides pharmacological treatment, psychological support is also needed.

The psychopharmacological profile of ginsenosides has not yet been confirmed systematically although various neuropharmacological activities associated with them have been investigated. In the present study, the psychological activities of Rb1 were investigated to evaluate whether it can be used in treatment or prevention of psychological disorders. Rb1 was intravenously injected at doses of O.2,2,5 and 10 mg/kg. The effects of Rb1 on the $Cl^-$ ion influx were investigated using IMR-32 human neuroblastoma cells. Moreover, locomotor activity, forced swimming activity, activity on rotating rod and activity in elevated plus-maze were tested in mice. Rb1 increased the $Cl^-$ influx into the intracell region in a dose-dependent manner. Rb1 did not cause change in behavior in total open field when locomotor activity was tested, however it increased activities, especially, such as rearing frequency in center area. Administration of Rb1 at 0.2 mg/kg significantly reduced activities on rotating rod however administration at high dosages had no effect on them. Rb1 administration decreased animal immobile time in a water chamber in a dose dependent manner, and increased the strong mobile time of animals. In conclusion, the present results demonstrate that Rb1 contributes to the psychopharmacological effects of ginseng and may be used in treatment or prevention of psychological disorders such as anxiety or depression.

본 연구는 기존의 수학적 오류에 대한 연구들이 취했던 학생들의 현재 상태를 바탕으로 다양한 오류를 분석하는 방식이 아니라, 학생들의 문제해결과정에서 나타나는 수학적 오류를 인지심리학의 관점에서 분석가능한지를 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이에, 본 연구는 Pauscal-Leone의 신피아제 이론을 중심으로 Schoenfeld의 구조 분석 단계(levels of analysis and structure)모형과 개념적, 인과적 관계의 이해를 형식화하는 도구로서 퍼지 인지 맵(Fuzzy Cognitive Map)을 활용하여 학생들의 증명 문제해결 과정에서 나타나는 오류를 분석하고 오도요인을 진단하였다. 연구 결과, 주어진 명제에서 정보를 해석할 때 F조작자가 강하게 활성화되어 나타나는 오도 요인으로 인하여 학생들은 증명에 필요한 개념노드를 충분하게 인출하지 못하거나 인과관계가 없는 개념노드를 나름대로 논리적으로 연결하여 잘못된 증명을 하고 있었다. 오류와 관련된 인지구조는 학생 나름대로의 논리적 알고리듬에 의한 LC 학습의 결과로 형성된 LC 학습구조로 볼 수 있다.

치료용 기능성 게임은 직접적인 치료보다는 환자의 심리적인 변화를 일으키고, 적극적인 치료 의지를 가지게 하는 것이 주된 목적이다. 본 연구에서는 선행 자료들을 분석하여 심리 치료를 위한 치료용 기능성게임을 설계할 때 고려할 요소로 5가지를 추출하였다. 추출한 요소들의 검증을 위해 이미 치료 효과가 입증된 '리미션', 현실의 일상생활에서 어려움을 겪을 수 있는 환자가 가상공간에서 선(先) 경험을 통해 치료 효과를 얻을 수 있도록 설계된 '심즈2'를 집중적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 캐릭터와의 일치성, 게임 소재의 안정성, 현실적 사실성, 게임 진행의 자기결정성은 전반적으로 적용되어 있었지만, 현실과의 상호작용성은 적용되어 있지 않았다. 그러나 현실과의 상호작용성은 선행 연구와 추출 요소에 대한 설문 검증으로 적합한 요소로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 치료용 기능성게임을 설계하고자 할 때 고려할 중요한 참고 자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.
