Background and Objectives The early assessment of treatment is not done for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) since the well-known phenomenon of fatigability after a repeated positional test can mimic successful treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical implication of 'fatigability' after Epley maneuver and to identify the therapeutic efficacy of Epley maneuver in posterior canal BPPV (PC-BPPV). Subjects and Method This study was prospectively conducted by two dizziness clinics on 51 consecutive patients diagnosed with PC-BPPV. All patients included in the study received Epley maneuver treatment. The therapeutic results were reassessed immediately after a single trial of Epley maneuver. After 30 minutes, results were reassessed repeatedly to confirm the fatigability of diagnostic procedure immediately after treatment. If the treatment was not successful after 30 minutes, Epley maneuver was repeatedly performed until complete resolution. Results Immediately after the first maneuver, 45 of 51 (88.2%) patients had neither vertigo nor nystagmus during the positional test. All patients demonstrated complete resolution after receiving one to three Epley maneuvers on the day of diagnosis. 'Fatigability (false negative result)' was confirmed for only one case (1 of 6 patients, 16.7%), in which nystagmus was observed after 30 minutes but not identified immediately after the first Epley maneuver. Conclusion The therapeutic efficacy of Epley maneuver is very high in PC-BPPV. Considering the possibility of fatigability when reassessment is performed immediately after therapeutic maneuver, clinicians should avoid assessing the outcome immediately after treatment in patients with PC-BPPV.

The morphological patterns and the cytopathogenicity time of the Vero cells induced by free $Cd^{2+}$ and pigment-bound $Cd^{2+}$ were observed by inverted microscope in order to investigate the difference of cadmium toxicity. The Vero cells induced by Hee $Cd^{2+}$ of 0.1 mM were shown to have a fatal toxic effect and the cytopathogenicity could be seen early after 6$\pm$2 hours of incubation. Partially affected cells induced by pigment-bound $Cd^{2+}$ of 0.1 mM were shown and the cytopathogenicity could be seen after 20 hours of incubation. The Vero cells grown with free 0.001 mM $Cd^{2+}$ were also affected and the cytopathogenicity could be seen after 17 hours of incubation, whereas the Vero cells grown with 0.001 mM pigment- bound $Cd^{2+}$ were unaffected. The sensitivity of Escherichia coli DH5$\alpha$ bacterial cells was also examined after a short treatment with free $Cd^{2+}$ or pigment-bound $Cd^{2+}$. About 5% of cells survived after 0.01 mM of free $Cd^{2+}$ treatment, while about 68% of cells survived after 0.01 mM of pigment- bound $Cd^{2+}$.

Microflute has several advantages of production cost and strength compared to board. Production technology of microflute has not been fully explored. Therefore suitability of corrugating medium for microflute shape formation was analyzed by measuring (1) lengths of corrugating medium before flute formation, (2) those after flute formation but before conditioning and (3) those after flute formation and after conditioning. The suitability of corrugating medium was better when the length change before and after conditioning after flute formation was smaller, because flute sustained its form. The suitability of corrugating medium for microflute shape formation was better when the flute height after flute formation was higher. The suitability of corrugating medium was analyzed depending on properties of corrugating medium in terms of fiber bonding strength and paper stiffness. For better microflute shape formation and its preservation it was found that fiber bonding should be increased, proper stiffness was required, and resistance to water absorption from surroundings should be increased.

This study examined the effect of supplementary selenium on leukocytes and heat shock protein (HSP) 70 expression in serum during half-body immersion. The subjects were male college tennis athletes. All subjects participated in two repeated experiments with a 1 week interval. During the 30 min intermittent half-body immersion, subjects were given 500 mL of water with or without selenium (100 ${\mu}g$). Blood samples were taken from the antecubital vein, and differential counts were made. Serum HSP70 protein was analyzed using a commercial ELISA kit. After half-body immersion, leukocytes and lymphocytes increased significantly but neutrophils decreased significantly in both trials (with or without selenium). Selenium supplementation, compared with placebo, decreased levels of leukocytes, neutrophils, and monocytes, but not lymphocytes, to the resting level or below 60 min after immersion. Only lymphocytes continued to increase in both trials during the recovery period. Serum HSP70 protein level did not change after immersion, but it decreased 60 min after immersion with the administration of selenium. In conclusion, supplementary selenium reduced the systemic immune response and serum HSP70 protein accumulation after half-body immersion.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the specificity of the effort of massage on hamstring muscles extensibility a9 measured by fingertip to floor test. The participant were healthy young men(n=25). Manual massage was applied to the posterior aspects of the both thigh (hamsting portion) during 20 mins. We measured four times ; that is, after rest 20 mins-before massage, immediately after massage, immediately after massage and 20 mins. after massage. As the middle fingers are reaching beyond the floor level, the level was considered as ( + ) level. And the middle fingers did not touch the 리oor, the level was considered as ( - ) level. Results were as fellows : 1) There was significant difference between group 1 and group 2(P<0.05), 2) There was no significant difference between group 2 and group 3(P>0.05). 3) There was no significant difference between group 3 and group 4(P>0.05). Therefore, the extensibility of hamstring muscles was increased after massage more than rest during 20 mins, before massage, and the effects of massage application were prolonged during 20 mins, after massage.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of food intake on radial pulse amplitude. Methods : Thirty one healthy male subjects participated in this study. Radial pulse was measured using 3 dimensional pulse imaging system (DMP-3000) before, right after, 40 minutes after, 80 minutes after and 120 minutes after food intake. Results : 1. The amplitude of h1 increased significantly right after food intake compared to 'before food intake' at all 6 measuring points. Later on, it decreased back as time passed, however, even 120 minutes later, it was still higher than 'before food intake' 2. Pulse energy, which is calculated from pulse waves acquired with five sensors, increased after food intake as well. Conclusions : Food intake exerts an influence on radial pulse amplitude, resulting in increase of h1 and pulse energy.

Loss of teeth causes the inevitable reduction of residual ridge. Among the various methods solving this problem, hydroxyapatite proved to be useful for correction of ridge defect and irregularity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tissue responses of two types Of hydroxyapatites and resin polymer. Calcitite 2040 (Calcitek Inc.), Interpore 200 (Interpore Int.), and HTR polymer (HTR Sciences) were implanted into the jaw of an adult dog. The procedure was designed to obtain the results of 1 week, 2 week, 4 week, and 12 week-intervals. And after 12 weeks from the first operation day, the dog was sacrificed and evaluated histologically by light microscope. The results were as follows : 1. The mucosa was healed after two weeks. 2. After 1 week, there were acute inflammatory cells, but diminished after 2 weeks and were not seen after 12 weeks. 3. The hydroxyapatites implanted in soft tissues were surrounded by fibrous connective tissue. And some foreign body giant cells were found. 4. Calcitite and Interpore particles implanted subperiosteally were surrounded by newly formed bone after 12 months. And direct contact between bone and particles was noted. 5. The HTR particles implanted in soft tissues were encapsulated by fibrous connective tissues. The sample where the particles contacted directly to bone could not obtained by some probable insufficiencies of surgical technique or care of the animal. And the residue of HTR particles was digested by macrophage.
