In the consumer products industry, it has been highly desirable to develop objective test methods to replace subjective evaluation methods. In developing an objective test method, subjective evaluation data should be on a linear scale. According to Thurstone's theory of comparative judgment, a%-preference from a paired-comparison test can be converted to a linear-scale value. The required number (N) of paired-comparison tests increases dramatically as the number of products increases. This problem should be solved by classifying the total products into several subgroups consisting of 3-4 products in each group. By doing so, it can not only significantly reduce the number of required paired-comparison tests, but it can also obtain more reliable, reproducible data.

Clinical neuropsychological tests were developed originally for the diagnosis of neurological and neuro-surgical diseases. Recently, these tests are being introduced to psychiatric patients. Authors had the experience to use these tests in pychiatric outpatient clinic. Results were as follows. There was a significantly increase in language and attentional function in residual schizophrenia compared to normal control. In chronic neurosis, as visuospatial function was reduced, language and attentional functions were enhanced. With these results, authors suggest that application of neuropsychological tests in psychiatric patients may be very helpful in classifying the subgroups of disease, in selecting the modality of treatment, and in expecting prognosis.

Temporomandibular disorders refer to a large group musculoskeletal disorders that originate from the masticatory structures. The AADR recognize that temporomandibular (TMDs) encompass a group of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions that involve the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), the masticatory muscles, and all associated tissues. The signs and symptoms associated with these disorders are diverse, and may include difficulties with chewing, speaking, and other orofacial functions. They also are frequently associated with acute or persistent pain, and the patients often suffer from other painful disorders. The chronic forms of TMD pain may lead to absence from or impairment of work or social interactions, resulting in an overall reduction in the quality of life. However, the consensus of recent scientific literature about currently available technological diagnostic devices for TMDs is that, except for various imaging modalities, none of them shows the sensitivity and specificity required to separate normal subjects from TMD patients or to distinguish among TMD subgroups. This article reviews the various instruments to aid in the diagnosis of TMDs, and the overall validity and practical use of the Electromyography.

From among the group of patients diagnosed clinically to have Guillain-Barre syndrome(GBS), subgroups with pure motor involvement have been identified. Some of such patients appear to have an axonal neuropathy by eletrophysiology. Such cases have been termed acute motor axonal neuropathy(AMAN). Many of these patients are found clinically to have normal sensation and to have electrodiagnostic patterns consistent with selective degeneration of motor axons. A serological survey showed some of individuals with AMAN had evidence of antecedent Campylobacter jejuni(CJ) infection. And AMAN has an association with the presence of anti-ganglioside antibodies. This article reviewed briefly the AMAN and their relationship to CJ infection and anti-ganglioside antibodies.

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia and slow saccades. A 40-year-old woman presented with progressive gait disturbance and ataxia over 15 years. Neurologic examination revealed scanning speech, ataxia, and hyporeflexia. Brain CT showed diffuse atrophy of the cerebellum. Electronystagmography demonstrated slowed saccades with normal accuracy and delayed latency. The diagnosis of SCA2 was confirmed by the genetic test. Documentation of slow saccades may help differentiation among SCA subgroups.

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of chronic administration of quercetin on lipid peroxidation and glutathione concentrations in rat liver. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups, one of which was fed a normal diet and the other a vitamin E-free diet. Each of these groups was divided further into three subgroups and treated with quercetin administered orally at either 2 or 20 mg/day or with vehicle for four weeks. The concentrations of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol in serum and liver increased following quercetin treatment, and these increases were significantly greater in rats maintained on vitamin E-free diet.

Geodesic orbit spaces are homogeneous Finsler spaces whose geodesics are all orbits of one-parameter subgroups of isometries. Such Finsler spaces have vanishing S-curvature and hold the Bishop-Gromov volume comparison theorem. In this paper, we obtain a complete description of invariant (α₁, α₂)-metrics on spheres with vanishing S-curvature. Also, we give a description of invariant geodesic orbit (α₁, α₂)-metrics on spheres. We mainly show that a Sp(n + 1)-invariant (α₁, α2)-metric on S⁴ⁿ⁺³ = Sp(n + 1)/Sp(n) is geodesic orbit with respect to Sp(n + 1) if and only if it is Sp(n + 1)Sp(1)-invariant. As an interesting consequence, we find infinitely many Finsler spheres with vanishing S-curvature which are not geodesic orbit spaces.

The motivation for this study comes from a question posed by I.N. Herstein in the Israel Journal of Mathematics in 1978. Specifically, let D be a division ring with center F. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that every quasinormal subgroup of the multiplicative group of D, which is radical over some proper division subring, is central if one of the following conditions holds: (i) D is weakly locally finite; (ii) F is uncountable; or (iii) D is the Mal'cev-Neumann division ring.

Mandibular rest position is very essential position because in that position, masticatory muscularture can be reciprocally coordinative and unstrained. So obtaining a good ability to establish and maintain rest position in non-functioning state is mandatory for treatment of patient with craniomandibular disorders. In general, many types of mandibulr movement exercise start from rest position and use the sense of muscle relearning, that is, muscle smoothness and relaxation, throughout the exercise period. In this study, 44 normal subjects for control group and 37 patients with craniomandibular disorders for experimental group participated and they were classified into 3 subgroups, respectively. One method to guide mandibular rest position was used for one subgroup, so theree methods were used for this study, 1)self-guided rest position without any education, 2) guided by Rocabado's tongue rest position, 3) guided through swallowing after Dawson's centric relation. To record electromyographic activity, Bioelectric processor EM2 (Myotronics, U.S.A.) was used. The numbers of sessions from start to stable resting electromyographic level and muscle activities in stable state were recorded and two recordings which were first and second, 3 days after first recording, were done, The data were processed with SPSS/PC+package. The obtained results were as follows : 1. Mean number of sessions in second recording were fewer than those in first recording in both groups. In comparison among 3 subgroups, mean number of sessions of subgroup guided through Dawson's method were fewer than those of other groups though it is not statistically significant. 2. There was a difference of mean number of sessions between control and experimental group in first recording, but in second recording there was no difference in any cases. 3. Mean value of muscle activity were generally not different without regard to group and method if once come to stable resting position level. Mean value of muscle activity of guided subgroups showed a tendency of decreasing in second recording than in first recording. However, in self-guided subgroup there was a inconsistent pattern. 4. The amounts of change in session number from first to second recording in control group were fewer than those in experimental group.

목적: 본 연구는 일측 뇌관류결손이 있는 뇌경색 환자들에서 $^{99m}Tc-ECD$ 단일 광자방출단층촬영술을 이용하여 반대측 국소 뇌관류의 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 뇌관류결손이 있는 뇌경색 환자 57명이 대조군에 포함되었으며, 좌측과 우측 뇌경색 환자군으로 구분하였으며, 이들은 발병 시기에 따라 6개월을 기준으로 급성 뇌경색 환자군, 만성뇌경색 환자군으로 구분하였다. 대조군들 모두 국소 뇌관류를 측정하고자 SPM분석을 이용한 $^{99m}Tc-ECD$ 단일 광자방출단층촬영술을 실시하였다. 모든 대조군의 결과를 정상 대조군과 비교하였다. 결과: 모든 대조군에서 뇌경색 반대측 대뇌피질에서 뇌관류 증가가 관찰되었으며, 뇌경색 대뇌측에서의 뇌관류 증가는 관찰되지 않았다. 만성 뇌경색 대조군에서는 뇌병변 반대측 일차 감각운동피질에서의 뇌관류 증가가 관찰되었으나, 급성 뇌경색 대조군에서는 관찰되지 않았다. 만성 좌측 뇌경색 대조군에서는 우측 소뇌 뇌관류 증가가 관찰되었다. 결론: 뇌혈류 SPECT의 SPM분석에서 일측성 뇌경색 환자에서 뇌경색 반대측 대뇌의 혈류가 증가하고, 일부 환자군에서는 뇌경색 동측 소뇌의 혈류도 증가함을 관찰하였다. 그러나 이러한 소견이 뇌기능의 회복 기전과 직접적으로 연관성이 있는지 증명하기 위해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.
