  • Gall duct cannulated rats were given daphnetin, umbelliferone, 4-hydroxy-coumarin, dicoumarol, 4,7-dihydroxycoumarin, 4,7-dimethyl-5-hydroxy-coumarin, coumarin-3-carboxylic acid, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid, caffeic acid by duodenal catheter at room temperature and output of bile flow was detected. All of the subjected compounds in this experiment indicated a significant effect on the biliary elimination except cinnamic acid alone. It is suggested that a relationship exists between chemical pattern and biological activity for coumarin derivatives and their precursors, and that the choleretic activity of these compounds requires hydroxylated cinnamic acid structure as the most fundamental chemical pattern.

  • With the development of Smartphone, Smartphone contains diverse functions including many sensors that can describe users' state. So there has been increased studies rapidly about activity recognition and life pattern recognition with Smartphone sensors. This research suggest modeling of the activity data to classify extracted data in existing activity recognition study. Activity data is divided into two parts: Physical activity and Logical Activity. In this paper, activity data modeling is theoretical analysis. We classified the basic activity(walking, standing, sitting, lying) as physical activity and the other activities including object, target and place as logical activity. After that we suggested a method of visualizing modeling data for users. Our approach will contribute to generalize human's life by modeling activity data. Also it can contribute to visualize user's activity data for existing activity recognition study.

  • Purpose: In this study rest-activity rhythm, sleep pattern and quality of life of patients with restless legs syndrome were compared with those of a normal group. Methods: The participants in this study were 36 patients with restless legs syndrome diagnosed by a neurologist and 36 participants in the normal group. An actigraph, sleep diary, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Insomnia Severity Index scale were used as measurement tools for the study. Chi-square test, Lamda test, t-test and Kendall's correlation with SPSS 12.0 program were used to analyze the data. Results: Patients with restless legs syndrome had a higher rest-activity rhythm curve of Least 5 hr's activity(L5) and Most 10 hr's activity(M10) than those of normal group and sleep problems included decreased sleep efficiency and increased sleep latency, wake time and number of awakenings. The scores for the subscales of quality of life in patients with restless legs syndrome were lower than the normal group for general health, physical functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, role limitation due to physical problems, social functioning, bodily pain, vitality and mental health. Conclusion: The results suggest that further studies are needed to identify rest-activity rhythm according to symptom severity and to develop nursing interventions which consider rest-activity rhythm.

  • Actomyosin and myofibril were extracted from Korean native Goat muscle with the Weber-Edsall solution. ATPase activities and physiochemical properties were measured. The results obtained were as follows; 1) Mg-activitied ATPase activity of actomyosin and myofibrill from Korean native Goat muscle exhibited a common biphasic response, a typical ATPase pattern, that is high at a low ionic strength and low at a high ionic strength. Actomyosin showed high activity than myofibrill. 2) Mg-activited ATPase activity of actomyosin from muscle increased extraction time 24 hours. 3) EDTA-enhanced ATPase activity of actomyosin was greater than myofibrill and low at the low ionic strength, high at the high ionic strength. The difference of the activity were shown great broad pattern at the after 0.3M KCI concentration. 4) Effect of EGTA on-ATPase activity of myofibrill and actomyosin from muscle was measured, the Mg-ATPase activity was markedly depressed. 5) Solubility of actomyosin from muscle began to solubilize at KCI concentration of 0.28M and solubilized completely at the KCI concentration of 0.3M.

  • The suitability of the pattern manufactured with the development figure was considered by reviewing the development conditions that can be directly connected to the basic pattern in the human body surface development figure with the cast bandage method. The method to prepare the sleeve basic pattern was based on the cylindrical surface development method, and the sleeve basic pattern covering the 45 and 90 degrees momentum of the arm-movement was made by using the cast-type body surface development figure prepared with the horizontal line of the sleeve hem placed horizontally in the plan and by combining the cast-type body surface development figure in the standing position with the figure in the moving position. The test clothing was prepared with the sleeve pattern adding the bodice pattern in the standing position and the momentum and was worn on the FRP replica. The relationship theory of the body surface development figure with the pattern was derived by reviewing the suitability from the wearing state. The sleeve-cap height of the sleeve basic pattern resulted in about 80% in the standing position when the needs for a physical activity are 45 degrees and the about 50% when the needs for a physical activity are 90 degrees. The additional size of the diagonal length of the sleeve-cap could be set as "0" if the sleeve-cap height is low by 50% and as 50% of the additional size in the standing position if the sleeve-cap height is 80%.

  • The study was conducted to determine the effect of trunk pattern training in proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF) and weight-shift training on the muscle activity and static balance in patients with hemiplegia due to stroke. Twenty patients with hemiplegia due to stroke were assigned to the trunk pattern training in PNF group(n=10) or weight-shift training group(n=10). Both groups were executed conventional treatment for 5 times per week for 6 weeks 30 minutes per session. Each group performed additional training for 20 minutes. Post training, compared to the weight-shift training group, trunk pattern training in PNF group showed significantly increased on muscle activity of rectus femoris, gastrocnemius and static balance(p<.05). These results support the perceived benefits of trunk pattern training in PNF to augment on the static balance and muscle activity of stroke patients. Therefore, trunk pattern training in PNF is feasible and suitable for stroke patients.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of increased saddle height on the length and activity pattern of vastus lateralis (VL) and biceps femoris (BF) muscle. To compare the effects of increased saddle height, Preferred (self-selected height of subject) and High saddle height (approximately 5% higher saddle height than self-selected) were used. Seven elite cyclists (career: $16.1{\pm}8.5years$) participated in 3 min. sub-maximal pedaling tests under the same cadence (90 RPM) and pedaling power (150 W). Hip and knee joint angles, and the length and activity of VL and BF were compared by measuring 3D motion and electromyography (EMG) data. Results showed that there were significant differences in peak extension timing of the hip joint angle and the range of motion of the hip and knee joint between different saddle heights. Although there were significant differences in muscle length of both muscles with increasing saddle height, the timing and amount of muscle activity differed only at the BF. These findings suggest that the timing and amount of bi-articular muscle activity (i.e. BF) can be altered by changing the saddle height. For practically applying these results, further study is necessary to evaluate the effects of various cadence and the pedaling power with various saddle heights.

  • Studies evaluating the health effects of hazardous air pollutants assume that people's exposure to typical pollutant level is the same as specific regional pollutant level. However, depending on social and demographic factors, time-activity pattern of people can vary widely. Since most people live in indoor environments over 88% of the day, evaluating exposure to hazardous air pollutants is hard to characterize. Objective of this study was to estimate the exposure levels of university students of $NO_2$, VOCs(BTEX) and $PM_{10}$ using the scenarios with time-activity pattern and indoor concentrations. Using data from time-use survey of National Statistical Office in 2009, we investigated time-activity pattern of university students and hourly major action. A total of 1,057 university students on weekday and 640 on weekend spent their times at indoor house 13.04 hr(54.32%), other indoors 7.70 hr(32.06%), and transportation 2.36 hr(9.83%). Indoor environments in which university students spent their times were mainly house and school. Air pollutants concentrations of other indoor environments except house and school such as bar, internet cafe and billiard hall were higher than outdoors, indicating that indoor to outdoor ratios were above 1. According to three types of exposure scenarios, exposure to air pollutants could be reduced by going home after school.

  • This investigation was to determine the changes in the trypsin inhibitor activity(TIA) and electrophoresis patterns of the soybean cotyledon and axis during germination. The TIA of the cotyledon decreased slightly and that of the axis decreased rapidly to 50% activivity after 7 day germination. At the 2nd, 3rd and 4th day's germination the TIA of the defatted dry axis was higher than that of cotyledon. However, the TIA of the fresh cotyledon was lower than that of the axis, due to its higher moisture content. Results from the electrophoretic studies showed that band 1 (polymer, 15S etc.), 2(11S), and 3(7S) whichare the major reserve proteins of soybean were decreased consid erably in cotyledon and axis and the fragments with Rm values between 0.5 and 1.0 were increased and band 5 showed up during germination. The band 4 of the cotyledon and band 6 of axis were not changed during germination. Generally speaking, the TIA and thereserve protein decreased as germination proceed.

  • The sleep is the most important problem for new parents. However, there were very rare the study about sleep of normal neonates and early infants in Korea. So we attempted pilot survey study of neonates' sleep pattern. The purpose of this study was to investigate the sleep pattern of normal neonates in Seoul and Kyungki area and to provide for basis for nursing intervention for parents of them. The subjects of this study were 37 normal full-term neonates of 2~3weeks of age who were visited by researcher or assistant at postpartum care unit, health care clinic, outpatient clinic located in Seoul and Kyungki area from April 20, 1999 to March 15, 2000. This study was descriptive survey study under the convenient sampling method. The instrument of this study was the NCASA translated by Korean Parent Child Health Academic Association. The collected data were coded as 1/4hour unit, and analyzed by MS Office Excel program. The result of this study were as followed: 1. The mean amount of total sleep was 15.1hours. The mean amount of daytime sleep was 9.5hours. The mean amount of nighttime sleep was 5.7 hours. The mean amount of longest sleep was 2.9hours. The mean amount of shortest sleep was 0.6hour. 2. The mean amount of total activity was 8.9hours. The mean amount of daytime activity was 6.5 hours. The mean amount of nighttime activity was 2.3hours. The frequency of feeding was 10.4 times a day. The frequency of daytime feeding was 7.3 times. The frequency of nighttime feeding was 3.1 times. It is suggested that various subjects and more data according to age, and comparative study among different cultures are needed for further study in the future.
