This study investigated the quality characteristics of cookies containing capsaicin, the main source of spicy taste in pepper, which is well known for its various functions such as anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity activities, as well as pain-relief effect. Cookie samples were made by adding the capsaicin powder at different levels, including 40 mg% (C1), 85 mg% (C2), and 150 mg% (C3). In this study, measurement of the moisture, pH, color, spread factor, hardness, anti-oxidant activity, and sensory evaluation of the cookies was carried out. The results showed that the anti-oxidant activity increased when more capsaicin powder was added to the cookies (p<0.001). The moisture also increased with increasing capsaicin powder content (p<0.05), while the pH did not show any significant changes. As for the colors, the L value and b value decreased as more capsaicin powder was added, while the a value increased. The spread factor also increased significantly with the increase of capsaicin powder (p<0.01). Although the hardness increased with capsaicin powder content, no statistically significant differences were observed among the various cookies. In the sensory evaluation, Cookies containing 40 mg of capsaicin obtained the highest score in color, while cookies containing 150 mg of capsaicin showed the highest score in taste, texture, and overall acceptability.

The objective of this study was to compare pork characteristics and to determine consumer acceptability of pork chops from antibiotic free Yorkshire crossbreds sired by Berkshire (BY), Large Black (LBY), Tamworth (TY) or Yorkshire (YY) boars and reared in hoop houses. The experiments were conducted at the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCA&TSU) Farm in Greensboro, NC and the Cherry Research Station Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) Alternative Swine Unit in Goldsboro, NC (source of antibiotic free Yorkshire sows used at both places). Twenty-four sows were artificially inseminated at each location in each of three trials. Litters were weaned at 4 wks old, and reared within deep-bedded outdoor hoop houses. To compare pork characteristics, 104 randomly selected animals were harvested at a USDA-inspected abattoir at approximately 200 d of age. Variables measured included pH, color score, $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$, marbling score, drip loss, hot carcass weight, backfat thickness (BF), loin muscle area (LMA), and slice shear force. Sensory panel tests were also conducted at two time periods. The data was analyzed with GLM in SAS 9.01 including location, trial, and sire breed as fixed effects. Backfat thickness, LMA, color score and $a^*$ were different among breeding groups (p<0.05). The LBY pigs had thicker backfat and smaller LMA than the other breed types. The TY and YY had less backfat than all other breed groups. Color score was lower for YY than BY and LBY but intermediate for TY. The $a^*$ was lower for TY than other breeds except LBY which was intermediate. For one sensory panel test, YY pork was more preferred overall as well as for juiciness and texture compared to BY and LBY (p<0.05), but no impact of breed type was noted for the other test, with values similar for BY, LBY, TY and YY pork. This information may help small farmers make decisions about breed types to use for outdoor production.

IoT 환경에서 센싱 정보의 활용을 위해서는 센서로 부터 생성된 정보의 가공 및 처리를 위한 효율적인 소프트웨어 아키텍처 설계가 필수적이다. 특히 IoT 환경에서 사물은 인터넷에 연결되고 각종 센서를 탑재한 디바이스간 통신이 가능하여야 한다. 그러나 MapReduce 기반의 Hadoop과 Twister은 데이터의 배치 처리에 적합하지만, 스트리밍 센서 자료의 이동중 처리에는 제약점을 갖는다. 전통적인 스트리밍 데이터 처리 방법인 MOM 기반의 메시지 큐 시스템을 이용해 메시지 스트림을 처리하는 방식은 프로그래머가 메시지 흐름의 복잡도를 고려해야 상세한 처리를 프로그램 함으로써 유지보수 및 확장성을 갖기 어려움이 있다. 이 논문에서는 IoT 환경에서 수집된 센싱 자료의 처리를 위한 소프트 웨어 아키텍처를 설계하였다. 또한 설계된 소프트아키텍처를 기반으로 오픈소스 프레임워크인 Storm의 응용 구성을 기술한다. 구성응용은 센서게이트웨이(Sensor Gateway)를 통해 자료를 수집한 후 실시간 스트리밍 데이터를 파이프-필터 스타일로서 변환한다.

Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) mutations have been reported to cause the myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) which shows progressive limb muscle weakness, respiratory failure, and cardiomyopathy. Myopathy patients with BAG3 mutation are very rare. We described a patient showing atypical phenotypes. We aimed to find the genetic cause of Korean patients with sensory motor polyneuropathy, myopathy and rigid spine. We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) with 423 patients with sensory motor polyneuropathy. We found BAG3 mutation in one patient with neuropathy, myopathy and rigid spine syndrome, and performed electrophysiological study, whole body MRI and muscle biopsy on the patient. A de novo heterozygous p.Pro209Leu (c.626C>T) mutation in BAG3 was identified in a female myopathy. She first noticed a gait disturbance and spinal rigidity at the age of 11, and serum creatine kinase levels were elevated ninefolds than normal. She showed an axonal sensory-motor polyneuropathy like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), myopathy, rigid spine and respiratory dysfunction; however, she did not show any cardiomyopathy, which is a common symptom in BAG3 mutation. Lower limb MRI and whole spine MRI showed bilateral symmetric fatty atrophy of muscles at the lower limb and paraspinal muscles. When we track traceable MRI 1 year later, the muscle damage progressed slowly. As far as our knowledge, this is the first Korean patient with BAG3 mutation. We described a BAG3 mutation patient with atypical phenotype of CMT and myopathy, and those are expected to broaden the clinical spectrum of the disease and help to diagnose it.

As imaging technology develops, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have contributed to the understanding of brain function by providing anatomical structure of the brain and functional imaging related to information processing. Manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) techniques can provide useful information about functions of the nervous system. However, systematic studies regarding information processing of pain have not been conducted. The purpose of this study was to detect brain activation during painful electrical stimulation using MEMRI with high spatial resolution. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were divided into 3 groups: normal control, sham stimulation, and electric stimulation. Rats were anesthetized with 2.5% isoflurane for surgery. Polyethylene catheter (PE-10) was placed in the external carotid artery to administrate mannitol and MnCl2. The blood brain barrier (BBB) was broken by 20% D-mannitol under anesthesia mixed with urethane and a-chloralose. The hind limb was electrically stimulated with a 2Hz (10V) frequency while MnCl2 was infused. Brain activation induced by electrical stimulation was detected using a 4.7 T MRI. Remarkable signal enhancement was observed in the primary sensory that corresponds to sensory tactile stimulation at the hind limb region. These results suggest that signal enhancement is related to functional activation following electrical stimulation of the peripheral receptive field.

인간의 촉각감지 기능은 주위환경에 대한 중요한 정보를 제공하여 준다. 촉각 정보는 우리의 신체와 외부세계와의 접촉에 따른 위치 정보와 물체를 인지하고 조작하기 위한 감각적 정보 뿐 아니라 위험 여부까지 판단할 수 있는 정보를 제공해 준다. 그러나 촉각은 시각과 청각에 비해 상대적으로 덜 중요한 감각으로 인식되어져 왔으나, 가상현실과 컴퓨터 게임에 있어서는 중요한 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 촉각을 통해 플레이어가 가상 세계의 물체에게 직접 영향을 줄 수도 있고 받을 수도 있는 적극적인 인간 감각이기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 인간의 촉각의 특성을 조사하고 이를 응용하기 위한 힘 감지 센서를 사용한 연구방법을 제시한다. 또한 실제적인 게임적용을 위하여 간단한 힘 모델링과 구조체 형식을 제안한다. 그 결과 센서 출력을 분석하여 힘의 분포, 크기, 중심을 구하고 이 정보를 응용하여 특정부위에 대한 작용, 반작용을 구현 할 수 있다. 본 결과는 컴퓨터 게임과 가상현실에서 촉각 감지와 응용을 위한 기본 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

Purpose : This study examined the differences in occupational therapists' jobs depending on their past clinical careers using a survey of the importance of occupational therapy tasks in South Korea. This survey sought to provide fundamental data for strengthening occupational therapists' capacities and developing clinical training programs for therapists' future careers. Methods : An online survey was used to collect data from 93 South Korean occupational therapists. The subjects were divided into three groups for the analysis of the importance of occupational therapy tasks, depending on the length of their clinical careers: less than 3 years, from 4 to 6 years, and over 7 years. Results : A within-groups comparison of task importance found that "occupational therapy evaluation" was most important in all three groups. In between-groups comparisons, "patient information check", "assessment planning and establishment", "sensory function assessment", "social skills assessment", "developmental function improvement", "basic daily activities training", "social skills improvement", and "patient education" demonstrated statistically significant differences (p<.05). Each group showed different priorities. In the less-than-3-years group, "understanding of patient's needs" was most important, followed by "arm function improvement", "arm function assessment", "nerve, musculoskeletal, and motor-related functional improvement", and "basic daily activities training". In the 4-to-6-years group, "arm function assessment" was most important, followed by "basic daily activities assessment", "patient's needs", "arm function improvement", and "patient information check". In the over-7-years group, "understanding of patient's needs" was most important, followed by "patient information check", "basic daily activities assessment", "basic daily activities training", and "sensory function assessment". Conclusion : This study found that what occupational therapists consider important in their jobs varies according to their past clinical career and that occupational therapists with more than 7 years' experience are more aware of the importance of diverse fields of occupational therapy. Differentiated education that considers length of career and a range of training programs for more experienced occupational therapists will be needed in the future.

This study was performed to provide scientific information for consumers and to increase the quality and consumption of Sullungtang prepared with bone from Hanwoo. The physico-chemical, sensory, nutritional properties of Sullungtang by different parity were investigated. The extracting extents of blood were significantly higher for heifer among Hanwoo cows with different parity(none, the second or the fourth) and for back bones among different bone portions (round, hind shank, arm, fore shank or back bone) (p〈0.05). For Sullungtang extracted from bones of heifer was higher in collagen contents than those extracted from cows with the second or the fourth parity. Sullungtang extracted from bones of heifer and cows with the second parity had significantly higher contents of condroitin and viscosity than those of cows with the fourth parity, however there was no significant difference between heifer and cows with the second parity. In color, L values were significantly high, and a and b values were significantly low for Sullungtang extracted from bones of heifer when compared to those extracted from the other cows with the second parity. The contents of total nitrogen, sodium, or calcium were higher for Sullungtang extracted from heifer than those from the cows with the second or the fourth parity. In amino acid compositions, the percentages of glycine were highest and proline and glutamic acid were followed fro all Sullungtang samples from Hanwoo. The results showed that the overall quality of Sullungtang significantly decreased as the parity increased for Hanwoo cows. The Sullungtang extracted from bones of heifer had the best sensory scores as well as nutritional quality when compared to those extracted from the cows with parity. Therefore, the labeling and price for cow bones should be differently evaluated by their parity and age in marketing system. 본 연구는 한우뼈로 만든 탕의 품질에 대한 소비자의 요구에 부응하고 한우뼈의 부가가치 향상 및 소비 확대를 위하여 산차별에 따른 이화학적, 관능적 및 영양적 특성을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 산차별에 따른 혈액추출정도는 한우 미경산이 유의적으로 높았으며 (p〈0.05), 부위간 비교에서는 잡뼈가 유의적으로 가장 높았다(p〈0.05). 점도는 미경산과 2산차 간에는 유의성이 없었지만 미경산이 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 콜라겐 함량은 미경산이 유의적으로 높았고(p〈0.05), 콘드로이친황산 함량에서는 미경산이 유의적으로 높았으나(p〈0.05), 2산 차이와 유의성이 인정되지 않았지만 높은 경향을 보였다. 명도에서 미경산 추출물이 높은 경향을 보였고 적색도와 황색도는 미경산이 유의적으로 낮았다(p〈0.05). 관능평가는 미경산이 유의적으로 높게 평가되었다(p〈0.05). 총질소, 나트륨 및 칼슘 함량은 미경산 추출물이 유의적으로 가장 높았다(p〈0.05). 한우암소 추출물의 아미노산 조성중 Glycine이 가장 높았고 다음은 Proline, Glutamic acid 순이었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 전체적으로 한우 미경산우가 우수하였고 산차가 증가할수록 품질이 떨어지는 것으로 나타나 한우암소뼈를 판매시 산차 및 나이에 따라 가격을 차별화 시키는 것이 바람직할 것으로 사료된다.
