근육은 지속적인 수축운동 과정상에서 근육 세포내의 에너지원인 ATP가 고갈되고, 근육피로를 나타내는 물질이 축적되어 근력이 약해지고 피로도가 증가하게 된다. 지구력을 향상시키기 위하여 ATP의 합성 증가 및 근육내 피로 물질의 축적 방지 등이 요구되어지는데, 본 연구에서는 전통 생약재로부터 추출 증류한 조성물 JR-22를 이용하여 지구력 향상 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. JR-22를 4주간 실험 동물에게 투여한 이후 체중의 4-8%에 해당하는 무게를 부가하고 강제수영 시간을 통하여 지구력 향상효과를 확인한 결과 JR-22의 투여로 인하여 지구력이 향상되는 효과를 확인하였다 JR-22에 의한 지구력 향상효과의 기작을 관찰하기 위하여 체중의 4%에 해당하는 무게를 부가한 뒤 90분간 강제 수영시킨 실험 동물로부터 근육 피로 물질들과 근육내 ATP 함량을 측정한 결과 JR-22의 투여가 근육내 ATP 함량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타나 JR-22의 투여가 근육내 ATP를 증가시킴으로서 지구력을 향상시키는 효과를 나타내는 것으로 추측되었다. 또한 근육세포의 강화와 연관성이 있는 IGF-1과의 관련성을 알아보기 위하여 JR-22를 투여한 이후 혈액중의 IGF-1의 농도를 측정하였을 때도 JR-22에 의해서 유의성이 있는 IGF-1의 증가가 관찰되어 JR-22의 투여가 근력 강화에 도움을 줄 수 있다고 추측되었다. 이러한 운동 과정상에서 발생하는 체내의 산화적 손상은 JR-22의 투여를 통해 완화되고 있음을 확인하여 JR-22의 투여가 체내의 항산화력 증진에 도움을 줄 수 있는 것으로 추측되었다. 한편 JR-22를 4주 이상 투여하였을 경우에도 간독성 지표인 GOT, GPT를 비롯한 각종 혈액 생화학적 수치들의 변화가 나타나지 않았으며, 기타 이상 소견이 발견되지 않아 JR-22의 식용으로서의 안전성에도 문제가 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과에서 JR-22는 IGF-1의 증가 및 근육내 ATP 농도를 증가시킴으로서 지구력을 강화시키는 효과가 있을 뿐 아니라 운동시 발생하는 부작용중 하나인 산화적 손상을 억제시키는 항산화 효과 또한 겸비하고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

The most satisfactory split-beam transducer for fish sizing maintains a wide bearing angle region for correct fish tracking without interference from side lobes and lower sensitivity to fish echoes outside of the main lobe region to correctly measure the angular location of free-swimming fishes in the sound beam. To evaluate the performance of an experimentally developed 50 kHz split-beam transducer, the angular location of a target was derived from the electrical phase difference between the resultant signals for the pair of transducer quadrants in the horizontal and vertical planes consisting of 32 transducer elements. The electrical phase difference was calculated by cross-spectral density analysis for the signals from the pair of receiving transducer quadrants, and the directivity correction factor for a developed split-beam transducer was estimated as the fourth-order polynomial of the off-axis beam angle for the angular location of the target. The experimental results demonstrate that the distance between the acoustic centers for the pair of receiving transducer quadrants can be controlled to less than one wavelength by optimization with amplitude-weighting transformers, and a smaller center spacing provides a range of greater angular location for tracking of a fish target. In particular, a side lobe level of -25.2 dB and an intercenter spacing of $0.96\lambda$($\lambda$= wavelength) obtained in this study suggest that the angular location of fish targets distributing within a range of approximately ${\pm}28^{\circ}$ without interference from side lobes can be measured.

This study was to investigate lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activity and DNA damage after exercise, and the protective effect of garlic against exercise-induced oxidative stress. Male Sprague-Dawley rats(4 weeks old) were randomly divided into three groups of 6 rats each; control group(Con) without garlic and exercise, Ex group with exercise alone, and Ex-G group with 2% garlic and exercise. For 4 weeks, rats were given diets containing 15% corn oil and 1% cholesterol with or without garlic. The swimming was selected as a model for exercise performance. Rats swam for 40 min a day, for 5 days a week. Group Ex and Ex-G showed significant lowering in body weight gain and fat accumulation compared to control. No significant changes were observed in levels of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride among three groups, demonstrating that exercise and garlic had no effects on changes of blood lipid. This finding of blood lipid seems to be due to higher plant sterol content in corn oil. The DNA tail moment of lymphocytes showed greater tendency in Ex and Ex-G than in control, but garlic supplements failed to suppress DNA damages. Compared to control, Ex had higher plasma TBARS which was lowered to the control's level in Ex-G with 2% garlic supplementation(p<0.05). Ex-G led to a higher hepatic superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity than control and Ex(p<0.05). Activity of hepatic catalase was also increased in Ex-G, while in Ex it was significantly low(p<0.05). It seemed that TBARS levels were related to the activities of SOD and catalase, and that garlic contributed to increasing the enzyme activities and led to decrease of TBARS. These results demonstrate that lipid peroxidation and DNA damage occur as a consequences of oxidative stress after exercise, and that antioxidant defense against oxidative stress could be enhanced by garlic supplementation through the induction of antioxidant enzymes. However, further investigations should be done on the garlic effect on DNA damage.

Objective: Swimming and water-based exercise (WE) programs can provide vigorous physical activity in a fun and a motivating environment. The properties of water, may make it easier for children with cerebral palsy (CP) to move and to participate in an WE program. The aims of this study was to evaluate the effect of WEs on postural control in children with spastic CP. Design: Quasi-experimental design (one group pretest-posttest design). Methods: Twenty preschoolers with spastic CP participated in this study. Prior to the application, sufficient warm-up training was performed to allow the subjects to adapt to the water. Afterwards, three different types of underwater leg exercises for the flexor, extensor, and adductor/abductor of muscles of the lower limb were performed. The WE program lasted during 8 weeks, with one-40 minute sessions per week (8 training session). The usual care was performed during the training session. The Korean-trunk control measurement scale (K-TCMS) and weight distribution variability (difference of both Fz) were measured before and after training session. Results: According to the results, the K-TCMS scores of the three sub-levels, including static sitting, dynamic sitting, and dynamic reaching, was significantly increased after the training session (p<0.05). Also, the weight distribution variability was significantly decreased after 8 weeks (p<0.05). Conclusions: We suggest that WEs may improve the postural control ability in children with spastic CP. Furthermore, we support the need for additional research on the effect of WE on gait or activity of daily living performance with a control group included.

옥돔의 조획 기구를 알아내고, 낚시를 개량하기 위해서 수조 중에서 옥돔의 연승어구에 대해 반응 행동을 비디오 카메라로 관찰 조사하였다. 옥돔은 물살을 거슬르면서 해저 위를 천천히 유영하며 미끼에 접근하였고, 미끼를 물때에는 불완전하게 무는 경우가 많았으며, 미끼를 문 후에는 천천히 뒤로 유영하면서 아릿줄이 당겨지면 미끼를 내뱉는 등의 완만하고 주의 깊은 행동을 보였다. 대부분의 조획은 미끼를 깊이 삼킨 후에 옥돔이 Rush 또는 Jerk 행동을 할 때 되었고, 조획과 관계 깊은 행동연쇄는 Chewing$\longrightarrow$Jerk 또는 Chewing$\longrightarrow$Rush였다. 현장시험에서 채가 긴 낚시가 조획성능이 매우 낮았고, 채가 짧은 낚시에는 조획성능도 양호하고 조획된 부위가 깊었던 것을 고려하면 옥돔은 낚시를 깊이 삼켜야만 조획이 가능하므로 조획성능만을 생각하면 낚시의 형상은 낚시 채가 짧으며 끝이 안으로 굽어 있는 형상이 적합하다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 낚시 형은 조획성능을 위한 조건을 만족하면서도 기계화 조업도 가능한 절충형의 구조이다.

Objectives To evaluate the neuroprotective effects of Hyangsayangwi-tang (HY), a Korean traditional medicinal prescription in a Parkinson's disease mouse model. Methods Four groups(each of 10 mouse per group) were used in this study. The neuroprotective effect of HY was examined in a Parkinson's disease mouse model. C57BL/6 mouse treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP, 30mg/kg/day), intraperitoneal (i.p.) for 5 days. Slow behavioral responses and memory disorder is the major clinical symptoms of PD. In order to investigate the effect of HY on recovery of behavioral deficits and memory, we examined the motor function and memory by using Morris water maze and Forced swimming test. Ischemic mouse brain stained with TTC(2,3,5 triphenyl tetrazolium chloride) in the MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease to find out ischemia and tissue damage in mouse. The convenient, simple, and accurate high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established for simultaneous determination of neurotransmitters in MPTP-HY group. To measure the amount of dopamine in mice brain, striatum-substantia nigra, was examined by Bradford assay. Immunohistochemistry was examined in the MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease (PD) mouse to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of Hyangsayangwi-tang on hippocampal lesion, ST and SNpc. Results and Conclusions Hyangsayangwi-tang (HY) prevents MPTP-induced loss of serotonin, hippocampus and TH-ir cell.

Objective: Chicken essence and branched chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation has been recognized to significantly relieve fatigue. To obtain chicken essence with high amounts of BCAA, spent hens herein was used to prepare dripped chicken essence (SCE) and compared with commercial dripped chicken essence (CCE) for in vivo anti-fatigue effect. Methods: To determine the effect on anti-fatigue by dripped chicken essence, the exhaustive swimming was performed. Thirty-two 7-week ICR mice were divided into four groups, which included the control group (CG), CCE, SCE-1X and SCE-2X. The mice were given daily oral administration (0.012 mL/g body weight/d). The fatigue index analysis was conducted weekly. Results: The results showed that SCE had a higher BCAA level as expected, and mice treated with dripped chicken essence (CCE and SCE) could significantly improve exercise performance. The lower blood lactate level, blood urea nitrogen level and creatine phosphokinase activity were found in the supplement of SCE group compared with the CCE group, which suggested that the SCE possessed strong anti-fatigue ability. This could possibly be due to the higher content of BCAA. Conclusion: In this study, SCE promoted recovery from physical fatigue in mice and elevated endurance ability. Among them, the double dose (SCE-2X) showed the strongest anti-fatigue ability. Taken together, spent chickens could be a good source of chicken essence to improve the effect of anti-fatigue.

목 적: 본 연구는 만성 스트레스로 인한 갱년기 우울증 모델에서 사물탕가향부자(SGH)의 항우울 효과를 검증하여 실험적 유의성을 확인하고자 시행되었다. 방 법: 난소적출 흰쥐에 4주간 만성 스트레스를 가하고 SGH(100 and 400 mg/kg/day)를 투여한 후 행동검사인 sucrose intake test(SIT), elevated plus maze(EPM), forced swimming test(FST) 및 Morris water maze test(MWMT) 등을 통한 우울행동 변화와 혈청 corticosterone(CORT), IL-$1{\beta}$ 및 IL-4 등의 변화를 측정하였고, 또한 뇌 내 hippocampus와 hypothalamus에서 5-HT의 변화를 측정하였다. 결 과: 1. SIT에서 SGH 400 mg/kg/day 투여군은 대조군에 비해서 자당 섭취가 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 2. EPM에서 SGH 400 mg/kg/day 투여군은 대조군에 비해서 open arms에 머무는 시간이 유의하게 증가하였고(p<0.01), open arms와 closed arms를 교차하는 횟수도 대조군에 비해서 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 3. FST에서 SGH 100 mg/kg/day, 400 mg/kg/day 투여군 모두 대조군에 비해서 immobility시간이 유의하게 줄어들었다(SGH 100 p<0.05, SGH 400 p<0.01). 4. MWMT에서 SGH 100 mg/kg/day, 400 mg/kg/day 투여군은 모두 대조군에 비해서 실험 4일째에서 acquisition trials 수행 시간이 유의하게 단축되었고(p<0.05), SGH 400 mg/kg/day 투여군은 대조군에 비해서 retention trials 수행 시간이 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 5. CORT와 IL-4 측정에서 대조군과 SGH 투여군 모두 유의한 변화가 없었고, IL-$1{\beta}$ 측정에서 대조군에서는 유의하게 증가하였지만 SGH 투여군에서는 대조군에 비해서 유의한 변화가 없었다. 6. Hippocampus에서의 5-HT 측정에서 SGH 400 mg/kg/day 투여군은 대조군에 비해서 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). Hypothalamus에서의 5-HT수준은 SGH 투여군 모두 대조군에 비해서 유의하게 증가하였다(SGH 100 p<0.05, SGH 400 p<0.01). 결 론: 이상의 결과로 SGH는 만성 스트레스를 가한 난소적출 흰쥐에서 항우울 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었고, HPA axis, immune system 보다 5-HT system에 작용하는 것으로 사료된다.
