Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of EPMLM(educational program of manual lymph massage) on the arm functioning and QOL(quality of life) in breast cancer patients with lymphedema. Method: Subjects in the experimental group(n=20) participated in EPMLM for 6 weeks from June to July, 2005. The EPMLM consisted of training of lymph massage for 2 weeks and encourage and support of self-care using lymph massage for 4 weeks. The arm functioning assessed at pre-treatment, 2weeks, and 6weeks using Arm functioning questionnaire. The QOL assessed at pre-treatment and 6 weeks using SF-36. The outcome data of experimental group was compared with control group(n=20). The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS 10.0 statistical program. Result: The arm functioning of experimental group was increased from 2 weeks after(W=.224, p=.011) and statistically differenced with control group at 2 weeks(Z=-2.241, p=.024) and 6 weeks(Z=-2.453, p=.013). Physical function of QOL domain increased in experimental group(Z=-1.162, p=.050), also statistically differenced with control group(Z=-2.182, p= .030) at 6weeks. Conclusion: The results suggest that the educational program of manual lymph massage can improve arm functioning and physical function of QOL domain in breast cancer patients with lymphedema.

This paper describes a new magnetization method for non-destructive testing with magneto-optical sensor (denoted as MO sensor) which have the following characteristic : high observation sensitivity, independence of the crack orientation, and precise imaging of a complex crack geometry such as multiple cracks. When a magnetic field is applied normally to the surface of a specimen which is significantly larger than its defects, approximately the same magnetic charge per unit area occurs on the surface of the specimen. If there is a crack in the specimen, magnetic charge per unit area has the same value at the bottom of the crack. The distribution of the vertical component of the magnetic flux density, B$\_$Z/, is almost uniform over the no-crack area (denoted as B$\_$Z,BASE/), while the magnetic flux density is smaller in the surroundings of the crack(denoted as B$\_$Z,CRACK/) If B$\_$Z, BASE/ is a bit larger than the saturated magnetic flux density of the MO sensor (B$\_$s/) , then small magnetic domains occur over the crack area and a large domain over the non-crack area because B$\_$Z,CRACK/ is smaller than B$\_$s/.

The multilevel grid file(MLGF) is a dynamic multidimensional file organization supporting multi-attribute accesses efficiently. The paper proposes new method for batch-constructing MLGFs. Our method consists of two phases. The first phase begins by relocating all the objects in order that logically adjacent objects in multidimensional domain space are clustered in one dimensional physical space. For this, our method employs the Z-ordering scheme, which effectively maps multidimensional space into one dimensional space preserving proximity. The second phase paginates the relocated objects and creates leaf level directory entries, each of which corresponds to a object page. Simultaneously, it performs same actions on the directory entries recursively in a bottom-up fashion until the root directory fits in a page. For performance evaluation, we analyze our method in terms of the number of page accesses. The result shows the optimality of our method.

The Conventional patterned vertical alignment (PVA) device shows a very high contrast ratio at normal direction and does not require rubbing process. However it has a disclination area in which the liquid crystal can be collision in the boundary domain region. In this paper, we studied PVA(Z-shape) device in which the liquid crystal can be tilted down in multiple directions stably because the surface pretilt angle is controlled by photopolymerization of the UV - curable reactive mesogen (RM) under a proper condition. Consequently, the device shows improved electro optical properties as compared to conventional PVA mode.

A colored space is a pair (X, r) of a set X and a function r whose domain is $\(^X_2\)$. Let (X, r) be a finite colored space and $Y,\;Z{\subseteq}X$. We shall write $Y{\simeq}_rZ$ if there exists a bijection $f:Y{\rightarrow}Z$ such that r(U) = r(f(U)) for each $U{\in}\({^Y_2}\)$ where $f(U)=\{f(u){\mid}u{\in}U\}$. We denote the numbers of equivalence classes with respect to ${\simeq}_r$ contained in $\(^X_i\)$ by $a_i(r)$. In this paper we prove that $a_2(r){\leq}a_3(r)$ when $5{\leq}{\mid}X{\mid}$, and show what happens when equality holds.

Let Ω be a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain in ℂⁿ and assume that the (n - 2)-eigenvalues of the Levi-form are comparable in a neighborhood of z₀ ∈ bΩ. Also, assume that there is a smooth 1-dimensional analytic variety V whose order of contact with bΩ at z₀ is equal to 𝜂 and 𝚫_n-2(z₀) < ∞. We show that the maximal gain in Hölder regularity for solutions of the ${\bar{\partial}}$-equation is at most ${\frac{1}{\eta}}$.

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division, dividing one mother cell into two daughter cells. For the cutting of a plasma membrane during bacterial cytokinesis, a tubulin homolog FtsZ protein is recruited from the cytoplasm to the division site. FtsZ protein polymerizes in a GTP-dependent manner and its N-terminal domain has a GTPase activity. In this study, we have begun to characterize FtsZ from Staphylococcus aureus (SA). Full-length SA FtsZ was cloned into pRSFDuet-1 vector and the clone was transformed into a BL21 (DE3) star cell. The recombinant SA FtsZ protein was purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and dialysis. Using a spectrofluorometer, we showed that SA FtsZ undergoes a GTP-dependant polymerization in vitro. The polymer of the SA FtsZ protein disappeared after a few minutes, suggesting that the polymer is degraded as the GTP is consumed. This assay system may well be applied for inhibitor screening targeting S. aureus FtsZ.

Nebulin is an unusually large actin-binding protein specific to the skeletal muscle of vertebrates. The correlation of nebulin size with thin filament length have led to the suggestion that nebulin acts as a molecular ruler for the length of thin filaments. An SH3 domain occupies the C terminus of nebulin, in the sarcomeric Z-disk and is preceded by a 120-residue stretch containing multiple putative phosphorylation sites. SH3 domain mediates protein-protein interaction involved in the subcellular localization of proteins, cytoskeletal organization and signal transduction. However the binding partner and physiological role of nebulin SH3 domains remains unknown. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified supervillin, an actin-binding protein, as a nebulin SH3 domain-interacting protein. The SH3 domain of nebulin binds to the sequence encoding amino acids 977 to 1335 of supervillin. But the sequence encoding amino acids 977 to 1335 displays weaker binding than the sequence encoding amino acids 977 to 1788.
