Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect that trunk stability exercises with stabilizing reversal and rhythmic stabilization of PNF have on trunk strength and balance ability in stroke patients. Methods: This study included 20 stroke patients who performed trunk stability exercises combined with stabilizing reversal and rhythmic stabilization of PNF. The exercise program consisted of 30-minute sessions per week for six weeks. Trunk strength (BTE, Primus RS) and balance ability (Berg Balance Scale) were evaluated before and after training. All data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 software. Results: Significant differences were observed the both groups for truck strength and balance ability. The results of the study were as follows: trunk strength was significantly increased in both groups (p<.05) and it was also found to be significant between groups after the intervention (p<.05). Balance ability was significantly increased in both groups (p<.05) and it was also found to be significant between the groups after intervention (p<.05). Conclusion: Trunk stability exercises with stabilizing reversal and rhythmic stabilization of PNF are effective for improving trunk strength and balance ability in stroke patients. For stroke patients, trunk stability exercises with PNF are very useful and effective and they areeffectiveinclinicalpractice.

Statement of problem. Osseointegration is important mechanism of dental implant but it is not easy to evaluate. Indirect measurement is non-invasive and clinically applicable but they need more study about correlation between indirect values and degree of osseointegration. Purpose. The aims of this study were to evaluate the coefficient of correlation between indirect measurement and direct measurement under different healing time, and assessment of effect of initial insertion torque to the implant stability. Material and Methods. 20 rabbits received 3 implants on each side of tibia. Three kinds of implants (machined surface implant, Sandblasted with Large grit and Acid etched implant, Resorbable Blast Media treated implant) were used. During the surgery implant insertion torque were measured with $Osseocare^{TM}$. After the 1, 4, 8, 12 weeks of healing time, animals were sacrificed and stability values (Implant Stability Quotient with $Osstell^{TM}$, removal torque with torque gauge) were measured. Results. The Bone quality of rabbit tibia was classified into 2 groups according to the insertion torque. Resonance frequency analysis (ISQ) and removal torque showed positive correlation until $4^{th}$ week (r=0.555, p=0.040). After $8^{th}$ week (r=0.011, p=0.970) the correlation became weak and it turned negative at $12^{th}$ week (r=-0.074, p=0.801). Insertion torque and ISQ showed changing correlation upon the healing time ($1^{st}$ week: r=0.301, p=0.033, $4^{th}$ week: r=-0.429, p=0.018, $8^{th}$ week: r=0.032, p=0.865, $12^{th}$ week: r=-0.398, p=0.029). Insertion torque and removal torque has positive correlation but it was not statistically significant ($1^{st}$ week: r=0.410, p=0.129, $4^{th}$ week: r=0.156, p=0.578, $8^{th}$ week: r=0.236, p=0.398, $12^{th}$ week: r=0.260, p=0.350). Conclusion. In this study, bone quality may affect the degree of osseointegration positively during healing time and correlation between ISQ and degree of osseointegration can be different according to the healing time and bone quality.

B23/nucleophosmin은 핵인 단백질로서 외부 스트레스에 의해 핵인에서 핵으로 이동하게 된다. 이러한 세포 내 위치변화는 MDM2에 의한 p53단백질의 안정화에 영향을 미친다. 노화세포는 거대한 단일 핵인을 가지고 있으며, 외부 스트레스에 의해 p53 안정성이 감소한다. 그렇지만, 노화세포에서 어떠한 기전에 의해 p53의 불안정성이 증가하는 지는 아직 밝혀진 바가 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 노화세포에서 B23/nucleophosmin과 p53간의 상호 관련성을 조사하여 p53 안정성에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 IMR90세포주에 ras oncogene을 과발현시켜 노화세포를 유도하였다. 핵인 스트레스에 의해 노화세포 내 p53 단백질 발현은 감소하였으나, B23/nucleophosmin 단백질의 발현은 정상세포와 큰 차이가 없었다. 그렇지만, 두 단백질의 세포 내 위치는 노화세포에서 변화가 있었다. 즉, 정상세포와 달리, 노화세포에서는 스트레스에 의해 핵 내 p53발현이 증가하지 않았으며, B23/nucleophosmin은 핵 내로 이동하지 않고, 핵인에 그대로 머물러 있었다. 노화세포에서 MDM2와 p53간 상호결합이 안정적으로 유지된대 비하여, p53과 B23/nucleophosmin간의 상호결합은 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 노화세포에서 핵인 스트레스에 의한 p53단백질의 안정성은 B23/nucleophosmin 결합이 감소하여 일어나는 것으로 해석된다.

The emlsifying properties of small red bean protein isoates were evaluated through their emulsion capacity and stability of the resulting emulsions. The influence of pH, Sodium Chloride and heat treatment on the efficiency of small red bean protein isolates as emulsifying agents was studied. The surface hydrophobicity (So) of small red bean protein islates also examined. The results were obtained as follows; 1. The emusion capacity of small red bean protein isolates was high at pH 11, low at pH 3 and decreased by heat treament. With addition of NaCl, emulsion capacity decreased steadily and showed lowest value when 0.2M NaCl was added. 2. The emulsion stability at pH 4.5 and heat treatment over $60^{\circ}C$ decreased emulsion stability at pH 4.5. When NaCl was added, emulsion stability was generally increased. 3. The surface hydrophobicity of small red bean protein isolates showed the highest value at pH 3 and lowest at pH 11 and increased as the heating temperature increased When 0.2 M NaCl was added, surface hydrophobicity also increased at pH 4.5.

Recently, much attention has been paid to problems which is concerned with voltage instability phenomena and much works on these phenomena have been made. In this paper, by substituting d $P_{k}$ d $e_{k}$ ( $v^{\rarw}$= e +j f) for $P_{k}$ in conventional load flow, direct method for finging the limit of voltage stability is proposed. Here, by using the fact that taylor se- ries expansion in .DELTA. $P_{k}$ and .DELTA. $Q_{k}$ is terminated at the second-order terms, constraint equation (d $P_{k}$ d $e_{k}$ =0) and power flow equations are formulated with new variables .DSLTA. e and .DELTA.f, so partial differentiations for constraint equation are precisely calculated. The fact that iteratively calculated equations are reformulated with new variables .DELTA.e and .DELTA.f means that limit of voltage stability can be traced precisely through recalculation of jacobian matrix at e+.DELTA.e and f+.DELTA.f state. Then, during iterative process divergence may be avoid. Also, as elements of Hessian mat rix are constant, its computations are required only once during iterative process. Results of application of the proposed method to sample systems are presented. (author). 13 refs., 11 figs., 4 tab.

Immunoglobulins (IgY) were isolated from egg yolk of hens immunized with bovine serum albumin(BSA). The stability of anti-BSA IgY against heat and pH was investigated. Antibody activity was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. IgY was relatively heat-stable and most of the antibody activity remained after heating up 65$^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. IgY was stable at pH 5-11. However, inactivation of IgY was observed below pH 4, or above pH 12. Inactivation of IgY proceeded rapidly at low pHs(pH 2-3). Most of the antigen binding activity was lost at low pHs probably because of some conformational changes.

We compared the effects of a representative aromatic acid amplifier, 2-hydroxy-2'-tosylory biphenyl, doped in poly(tort-butyl methacrylate) (PTBMA), poly (tetrahydropyranylmethacrylate) (pTHPMh) or poly[tert-butoxycarbonyloxystyrene) (pTBOCST) resin film as acid labile polymer in view of thermal stability and photosensitivity enhancement. The acid amplifier was stable up to 60 min in pTBMA and pTBOCST film and up to 10 min in pTHPMA film at $120^{\circ}C$. pTBMA and pTHPMA film doped with the acid amplifier showed 9 times and 3 times higher photosensitivity, respectively. But pTBOCST film showed a negligible photosensitivity enhancement. Photosensitivity enhancement and thermal stability of the acid amplifier were found to be affected by the resin.

Thermal stability of a red pigment, carthamin, frm Carthamus tinctorius was investigated to explore possible applications as natural color additives for foods, cosmetics, and nutraceuticals. Degree of degradation reactions of carthamin at acidic, neutral and alkaline conditions were determined with UV/V is spectral measurements. Decomposition half lives of carthamin at 25.deg. C were 4.0 h, 5.1 h, and 12.5 h at pH 5.0, pH 7.0, and pH 12.0, respectively, indicating that carthamin is much more stable at alkaline pH than acidic or neutral conditions. The activation energies of carthamin at pH 5.0, pH 7.0, and pH 12.0 were 15.6, 15.7 and 16.8 kcal/mol, respectively.

In order to clarify the impact of Ca-binding sites (Ca1 and 2) on the conformational stability of neutral proteases (NPs), we have analyzed the thermal, pH and organic solvent stability of a NP variant, V189P/A195E/G203D/A268E (Q-mutant), from Salinovibrio proteolyticus. This mutant has shown to bind calcium more tightly than the wild-type (WT) at Ca1 and to possess Ca2. Q-mutant was resisted against autolysis, thermoinactivation and pH denaturation in a Ca-dependent manner and exhibited better activity in organic solvents compared to the WT enzyme. These results imply that Ca1 and Ca2 are important for the conformational stability of NPs.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of starch noodles (dangmyeon; SNs) with different starch sources and porcine intestines (PIs) with different pH on the rehydration stability of Korean blood sausage (sundae). Mungbean SN3 and PI3 (pH 9.18) showed significantly higher values of 80.69%-91.67% and 79.66%-80.98%, respectively, regardless of the drying methods (hot air, vacuum and freeze drying) (p<0.05). A number of larger pores were observed only in the cross-section of the freeze dried SN and PI through SEM. SN2 (potato starch) and PI3 (pH 9.18) showed lower expansion (⁎ΔL 6.90 mm) and higher expansion ratio (⁎ΔL 26.29 mm), respectively, after rehydration of freeze dried sample (p<0.05). From the application of SN2 (potato starch) and PI (0.5%-2.0% Na-pyrophosphate) to freeze dried sundae manufacturing, higher rehydration stability of more than 91.5% was obtained. These results suggested that potato SN and treatment of PI with Na-pyrophosphate is useful for desirable rehydration stability of freeze dried sundae.
