심상회전은 어떤 대상이나 형태를 심상으로 하나의 각도에서 다른 각도로 회전시키는 활동으로, 일상생활동작을 수행할 때 환경과 자신에 대한 위치 및 움직임을 계획하는 단계에서 필요한 기능 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 정상인과 만성 편마비환자를 대상으로 반응시간(reaction time)과 정답율(precision)에 심상회전과제가 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 임상에서 편마비 환자를 치료할 때 심상회전능력의 변화가 과제수행에 장애요인이 될 수 있는지를 알아보기 위함이다. 본 연구는 만성 편마비 환자 31명과 정상성인 20명이 참여하였다. 연구대상자는 거울상(mirror image)을 이용한 대조과제(comparison task)와 각도불일치상(angular disparity image)을 이용한 회전과제(rotation task) 등의 2 가지 유형의 심상회전과제를 수행하였다. 검사자는 대상자에게 한 쌍의 상에 대하여 동일한 상인지 아닌지를 '예'와 '아니오'로 가능한 한 빠르게 대답하라고 요구하였고, 상을 노출한 시간부터 대상자가 대답한 시간까지의 반응시간과 정답률을 측정하였다. 대조과제 및 회전과제에 대한 반응시간은 편마비 환자에서 정상인에 비하여 유의하게 느리게 나타났다. 그러나 편마비 환자와 정상인은 심상회전과제에 대한 정답율에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구에서 편마비 환자군과 정상군 모두에서 쌍을 이룬 상의 각이 불일치할 때 반응시간이 느리게 나타났지만, 정상군보다 편마비 환자군에서 심상회전에 오랜 시간이 걸렸다. 따라서 재활과정에서 편마비 환자를 대상으로 치료계획을 수립하고 치료를 할 때, 회전각도를 이용한 난이도 조절이 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 본 연구결과는 정상인에 비하여 편마비 환자의 심상회전에 차이가 있다는 것을 재활과정에서 치료사는 염두 해 두어야 한다고 제안한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that make the bathroom experience an inconvenient one for stroke patients, including the use of basic materials to provide an effective and individualized bathroom environment. Method: The survey was conducted from May 20 to June 20, 2014 on 81 stroke patients. The questionnaire is composed of the following: general factors of respondents, degree of inconvenience of general bathroom usage, and inconvenient factors. The questions on inconvenient factors of bathroom usage are comprised of 20 questions in a 5-point Likert scale. Result: The degree of inconvenience of bathroom usage results showed that the group of patients using wheelchairs experience more inconvenience than the group of patients without wheelchairs. The inconvenient factors between two groups are shown to have significant differences in the door sill, the location of the mirror, the chair for showering, transferring to the bathtub, slippery floor, the location of cabinets, door width, shower space, the location of shower booth, and the safety handle on the wall and toilet (p<.05). Conclusion: The result of this research shows that the inconvenient factors in the bathroom experience stroke patients vary depending on the use of wheelchair. The result may be utilized as therapeutic basic materials provide an effective bathroom environment to stoke patients in future.

Epigenetics deals with modifications in gene expression, without altering the underlying DNA sequence. Genomic imprinting is a complex epigenetic phenomenon that refers to parent-of-origin-specific gene expression. Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) and Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) are congenital imprinting disorders with mirror opposite alterations at the genomic loci in 11p15.5 and opposite phenotypes. BWS and SRS are important imprinting disorders with the increase of knowledge of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Altered expression of the imprinted genes in 11p15.5, especially IGF2 and CDKN1C, affects fetal and postnatal growth. A wide range of imprinting defects at multiple loci, instead of a restricted locus, has been shown in some patients with either BWS or SRS. The development of new high-throughput assays will make it possible to allow accurate diagnosis, personalized therapy, and informative genetic counseling.

This paper presents the design of a multiple beam optical tweezers instrument used for manipulating micro/nano-sized components. The basic equations used in designing the optical tweezers are derived and the stable and time-sharing multiple beam optical tweezers are constructed with scanning mirrors. The laser beam passes through a series of optical components such as lenses, mirrors, and scanning mirrors, and overfills the entrance aperture of microscope objective, which gives a stable trap. By rotating the laser beam with the scanning mirror, the focal positions are translated in the specimen plane and multiple micro/nano-sized objects can be moved. The constructed optical tweezers is used to manipulate cells and liposomes simultaneously and to trap multiple nano-wires. The experiments prove that the developed optical tweezers can be a very versatile manipulation tool for studying gene therapy and nano device fabrication.

An understanding of the history of laryngology is both interesting and useful for those in the field so this study attempts to uncover some of the interesting aspects of its history. The oldest reference of laryngology in the Orient is in the medical documents called the "Whangjainaekyung",(황제내경) which was written over a time period between 3000-4000 B.C., and described the laryngeal function of respiration, protection of the airway and phonation. In the West, a drawing that seems to portray a tracheostomy was found in medical tombs in the plains of Saqqara in Egypt. These drawings date from approximately 3600 B.C. A watershed in laryngology occurred when a spanish music professor named Manuel Garcia in first successfully used a mirror to inspect the larynx. Since that time, laryngology has developed relatively quickly and clinical laryngology made it possible by means of a number of favorable developments. Great advances in laryngological diagnosis and treatment has occurred since the 1970s thanks to improvements in technology leading to the introduction of an operating microscope, endoscopes and lasers. Despite our recent advances in laryngology, we still have not achieved uniformly favorable outcomes and there is much that we do not know. Our future promises continued advances in the field of laryngology such as gene therapy to improve wound healing and tissue engineering to allow the recreation of normal mucosa. In this review, I divide the history of the larynx into the past, present and future. In the last section, I described the history of laryngology in Korea briefly.

Purpose : N.A.P.(Neuromuscular Skeletal Plasticity) an integrative neuro-orthopedic concept to facilitate motor strategies in daily life. The primary thesis is, that treatment of body functions and structural impairments should be integrated within goal-oriented activities. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the functional activity itself, determines the structure. Material and Methods : A case report of a dentist with brachial plexus lesion after a motor vehicle accident is presented. The necessity for training body functions within relevant tasks is undermined by references which emphasize the importance of training realistic activities to enhance long-term changes in neural representation. Results : The treatment methods presented in this case show significant effects for the patient's ability to participate in his profession within less than a year's time after his motor vehicle accident. Conclusions : Current evidence supports the treatment methods of this concept. The inability to flex his elbow and supinate his forearm placed a considerable doubt to his ability to ever be able to participate in his profession again. Structural reorganization is possible and depends on functional demands, which need to be trained task-specifically. Single case reports may serve as the basis for further randomized controlled studies to support the efficacy of the treatment methods within the N.A.P. concept.
