Physical and chemical properties on the aging inhibition mechanism of hydrous aluminum oxide were studied by means of dehydration velocity, activation energy, DTA, TGA, IR spectra, X-ray diffraction and TMA. During aging, changes may occur in the hydrous aluminum oxide structure which results in a loss of acid reactivity and in crystal formation to the hydrated hydrous alumina. The results obtained from the X-ray diffraction pattern and DTA, TGA thermogram studies showed that the aging product stabilized with either sorbitol or mannitol was hydrous aluminum oxide ($Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}xH_{2}O$) but the aging product not stabilized with either sorbitol or mannitol product not stabilized was hydrated hydrous aluminum oxide $Al_{2}O_{3}{\cdot}xH_{2}O{\cdot}yH_{2}O$. The activation energy of dehydration of the hydrous almina was about 17 Kcal. mol$^{1}$ deg$^{-1}$ which was observed a little less than that of 22 kcal.mol.$^{-1}$ deg.$^{-1}$ of or mannitol, the inhibition mechanism in the aging process from oxide is assumed to prevent the formation of the hydrated hydrous aluminum oxide and the aging process is thought of as analogous to the polymorphic transformations which occur as a system converts to its most stable state.

Age-related changes in larynx can have a direct impact on voice quality and general comfort level. Observations of vocal aging have spanned perceptual, acoustic, aerodynamic, physical, electromyographic (EMG) and histological levels. Evidence of differential vocal aging in relation to gender and physical condition has been reported. Perceptual, acoustic, aerodynamic, kinematic, EMG and histological data document age-related changes in laryngeal structure and function with advancing age. These changes contribute to a functional age-related impact of vocal hypofunction or compensatory hyperfunction. This review will focus on the current understanding of the clinical and cellular changes in the larynx that lead to presbyphonia.

The proportion of the aged people in Korea has increased rapidly by more than 7% in 2000. A survey says that the changing rate from the aging society to the aged is the highest among the OECD countries. The prevalence rate of the aged population is on the increase. Chronic diseases such as arthritis and strokes limits their body's functions and activities of daily living. It is necessary that functional training. ADL training and continuous treatment be provided by Physical or Occupational Therapists. Discontinuance of treatment can cause the aged people to be in a bed state. The aged people need a variety of home care services at their convenience. Occupational and Physical therapist should play a major role in providing the rehabilitation-base home care services. Further they are expected to contribute to the extension of health care services such as home care and nursing home programs.

Purpose: As population of elderly people continues to grow, successful aging has risen to the top of the nursing science agenda. The successful aging includes maintenance of the cognitive and physical functions, as well as emotional well-beings. This study was carried out to evaluate effects of the environmental enrichments on cognition of institutionalized elderly. Method: The population was selected among the elderly aging over 65 residing at two of institutions. A quasi experimental design was used with non-equivalent control group. Study subjects were thirteen for each group. For the experimental group, physical, social and symbolic environmental enrichment program was provided for six weeks. The data were analyzed by repeated measure ANOVA and repeated measure ANCOVA using SPSS Win 11.0. Result: Compared to control group, the experimental group showed a significant difference on DSF(F=3.29, p=.046), and TMTA(F=4.76, p=.013) of cognitive function, and depression (F=5.56, p=.007) of emotional distress after 1 and 12 weeks of environmental enrichment program. Conclusion: Findings indicate that physical, social, and symbolic environmental enrichment was effective to partially prevent from cognitive decline, and to decrease emotional distress of elderly. As a nursing intervention, environmental enrichment program for elderly should be expanded for nursing practice to promote healthy aging and to offer support to the growing population of elderly. Further research should be conducted to evaluate the effect on the community elderly.

장시간에 걸친 에이징이 carboxyl acid group을 포함한 수 백 나노 두께의 6FDA계 폴리이미드 박막에 미치는 영향을 박막의 가스투과도와 굴절률의 변화를 통하여 측정하였다. 에이징 시간에 따른 가스투과도의 변화는 carboxyl acid group을 포함한 박막이 이를 포함하지 않은 박막보다 빠른 투과도 감소와 선택도의 증가를 보였으며, 박막 특성의 정량적 분석을 위해 Lorent-Lorentz 이론을 통하여 volume relaxation을 정량화하였다. 박막의 밀도와 부분자유부피는 에이징 시간의 증가에 따라 지속적인 증가 혹은 감소의 경향을 보였으며, 에이징 시간에 따른 가스투과도와 부분자유부피간의 상관관계를 $P=Ae^{(-B/f)}$을 통하여 예측할 수 있었으며, 그 결과는 다른 고분자 분리막이 보인 경향과 일치하였다.

한국 사회에서 고령 인구가 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세에 발맞추어 본 논문은 노화과정에서 일어나는 뇌의 구조, 기능적 변화 및 인지 기능의 저하를 살펴보고, 고령화 대처의 한 방안으로 제안되고 있는 운동의 효과에 관하여 인지신경과학적 연구를 중심으로 개관하였다. 정상 노화 과정에서 일어나는 뇌의 변화는 전전두엽과 측두엽(해마 포함)의 부피변화와 함께 인지 과제 수행 시 과잉활성화와 같은 현상들이다. 이러한 뇌의 변화와 함께 인지 기능의 저하도 관찰되는데 주로 억제 및 기억 기능의 저하가 노화를 특징짓는 인지기능의 변화로 알려져 왔다. 이와 같은 노화 관련 뇌인지의 퇴행적 변화에 대응할 수 있는 보호적 요인 중 하나가 운동이다. 실제 노인을 대상으로 장기간 운동 프로그램을 실시한 연구 결과들은 참가 노인들의 전두엽과 측두엽, 특히 해마의 위축이 개선되고 억제와 기억 기능 역시 향상되었음을 보고하였다. 이러한 결과는 뇌세포 단위에서의 변화로부터 시작하여 노화하는 뇌 역시 변화할 수 있고, 운동이 이러한 긍정적인 변화를 유도할 수 있음을 보여준다.

PURPOSE: Aging causes a decrease in muscle mass and a change in posture, which reduces motor function and makes it difficult to perform daily activities independently. As these factors are closely related to the deterioration of the quality of life, it is very important to prevent and manage negative changes in the musculoskeletal system. Forest healing is a nature therapy course that maintains and promotes health using various environmental factors in a forest. The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of the forest healing anti-aging programs on the physical health of the elderly. METHODS: Ten elderly people participated in this study, as part of a forest healing anti-aging program for two days. Functional fitness, muscle strength, gait function, and balance were evaluated before and after the program. RESULTS: The number of arm curls, chair stands, and steps in a 2-min walk significantly increased (p < .05). 8-feet up & go time was significantly decreased (p < .05). Biceps brachii, quadriceps femoris, and calf muscle strength were significantly increased (p < .05). Gait velocity and cadence were significantly increased (p < .05). Step length, stride length, step time, swing time, stance time, and cycle time were significantly decreased (p < .05). Reaching distance in the lateral directions was significantly increased (p < .05). CONCLUSION: The forest healing anti-aging program improves the physical health of the elderly.

Physical manifestations of aging due to the lack of exercise include the slowing down of motor learning, cardiopulmonary degradation, and the increasing difficulty to adapt to the environment. Aging is manifested with the lack of aerobic exercise work, decrease in muscular endurance, decline in skeletal and muscular strength, flexibility and agility, and the decrease in reaction speed and balance. Added to those are aging-related physiological changes, including the reduction of muscle bulk, increased body fat, decrease in total body water and basic metabolic rate as activities are reduced, and a decrease in cell and Lean Body Mass (LBM). These changes are known to cause problems. Interest and participation in appropriate physical activities among the elderly is needed to help them increase stamina, avoid diseases, maintain a clear intellect, and basically enable the elderly to live their daily lives as easy as possible. Therefore, physical activities are necessary for the elderly to enhance health-related factors. Special exercises should be performed for the enhancement of muscle function, muscle endurance, flexibility, agility, and balance. An accurate measurement of cardio-respiratory endurance and stamina through basic physical and cognitive characteristics of older adults is also required to ensure safety. Also, the development of a more scientific resistance exercise prescription system for the elderly is desperately needed.
