Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are continuously produced at a high rate as a by-product obtained in the aerobic metabolism. A major portion of living organisms has defense system as superoxide dismutase or catalase against damage produced by ROS. Several lines of evidence provided that ROS appears to cause to develop aging and various diseases. Spatholobus suberectus Dunn has been known as a Korean folk medicine for promoting blood circulation and relieving blood stasis as anemia. In this study, we have investigated the antioxidant activities of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn in order to find the antioxidant substances from natural products. For various antioxidant experiment, the major antioxidant component was isolated from EtOAc extract of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn.

The vision system model used for this study involves the six parameters that permits a kind of adaptability in that relationship between the camera space location of manipulable visual cues and the vector of robot joint coordinates is estimated in real time. Also this vision control method requires the number of cameras to transform 2-D camera plane from 3-D physical space, and be used irrespective of location of cameras, if visual cues are displayed in the same camera plane. Thus, this study is to investigate the optimal number of cameras used for the developed vision control system according to the change of the number of cameras. This study is processed in the two ways : a) effectiveness of vision system model b) optimal number of cameras. These results show the evidence of the adaptability of the developed vision control method using the optimal number of cameras.

양말의 염색견뢰도에 영향을 주는 땀, 세탁의 인자를 선택하여 재질별, 성별착용에 따른 양말의 염색 견뢰도와 오염도 및 내구성 실험을 행하였다. 반복된 착용과 세탁에 의해 양말의 염색견뢰도는 면 100%의 것이 가장 우수하게 나타났으나 수축은 혼방제품과 면 양말에서 크게 나타났다. 성별착용 실험결과 남자가 착용한 것이 여자의 것보다 오염도, 수축, Pill 등이 훨씬 크게 나타나 내구성이 떨어지는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Maternal depression is known to have important negative effects on mother, child and mother-child relationship. To review current research evidence of association between maternal depression and their children's health and development, relevant studies were identified using Medline and Kiss(Korean studies Information Service System). The majority of research has reported that children of mother with depression are at risk for impaired physical functioning, growth and developmental delays, and behavioral problems compared to general population. From these studies, it is suggested that these kinds of studies are necessary in this country to examine the relation between maternal depression and children's health and development. Recommendations are included for future research and screening programs for maternal depression.

Esophageal manometry and Bernstein acid perfusion test were performed in 39 patients with globus sensation and 30 controls without experiencing a lump sensation in the throat. Globus patients also underwent physical examination, paranasal sinus x-ray, laryngoscopy and esophagogram. Nine of 39 patients were excluded from the study because local reasons for a lump sensation in the throat were found. Globus group showed significant elevation in upper esophageal sphinter pressure(P=0.0001) and six patients(20%) had evidence of nonspecific esophageal motility disorders, which suggested that hypertonicity of the upper esophageal sphinter and esophageal motility disorders could be the cause of globus syndrome.

This study was carried out to compare the distribution pattern of the bombesin immunoreactive neurons of the hypothalamic nucleus in the rat and Mongolian gerbil. The bombesin immunoreactive neurons in the rat were located in the dorsal part of the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, but in the Mongolian gerbil in the compact part of dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus. From this results, we could get an evidence that there were some differences in the distribution of peptide between rat and Mongolian gerbil.

The decrease of metabolism in the brain has been observed as the important lesions of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from the early stages of diagnosis. The cumulative evidence has reported that the failure of mitochondria, an organelle involved in diverse biological processes as well as energy production, maybe the cause or effect of the pathogenesis of AD. Both amyloid and tau pathologies have an impact upon mitochondria through physical interaction or indirect signaling pathways, resulting in the disruption of mitochondrial function and dynamics which can trigger AD. In addition, mitochondria are involved in different biological processes depending on the specific functions of each cell type in the brain. Thus, it is necessary to understand mitochondrial dysfunction as part of the pathological phenotypes of AD according to each cell type. In this review, we summarize that 1) the effects of AD pathology inducing mitochondrial dysfunction and 2) the contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction in each cell type to AD pathogenesis.

This is a case report about left leg radiating pain treated with complex traditional Korean medical intervention, while the case did not responded to prolotherapy and extracorporeal shock wave treatment for lumbar herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD). The patient was diagnosed with a piriformis problem after a physical examination and was treated with lumbar and piriformis muscle treatment. After 9 sessions of treatment for 33 days, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain has been decreased from 8 to 3. Further studies with more cases and longer observation period should be conducted to provide evidence for optimum acupuncture procedure considering its effectiveness, safety and patients' compliance altogether.
