Although the biological significance of the antennal sensillae to millipedes are widely understood, the structure and function of the antennal sensillae are still not clear and more precise analysis is required. Thus, this study initiate to reveal the fine structural characteristics of various sensory receptors on the antennae of millipede Oxidus gracilis were observed with field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM). The antennae generally include eight segments, called articles. On the surface of the antennae, there are a variety of sensory receptors which include olfactory and mechanical receptors. We could identify four different types of antennal sensillae in O. gracilis as follows: apical cone sensilla, trichoid sensilla, chatiform sensilla and basiconic sensilla. The most prominent is four large spital cone sensillae on distal tip of the 8th article. Both of trichoid and chaetiform sensillae are abundantly observed at the most of antennal articles. These sharply pointed structures are inclined and slightly curved toward the apex of the sensilla. The basiconic sensilla are further divided into three subtypes: large basiconic sensilla($Bs_1$), small basiconic sensilla($Bs_2$) and spiniform sensilla($Bs_3$). The $Bs_1$ is located at the 5th and 6th articles, while the $Bs_2\;and\;Bs_3 can be seen at the 5th and 7th articles, respectively.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in somato-sensory and occupational performance of individually tailored sensory integration interventions for school-age children with somatodyspraxia. Methods : A single subject study with an AB design was conducted the total sessions were 11 sessions, consisting of 3 baseline sessions and 8 intervention sessions. To compare the effects before and after the intervention, the intervention was measured by dividing it into Performance Area (PA) and Performance Factor (PF), and after each intervention session, the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) was implemented. Results : The children participating in this study showed overall improvement in PA and PF after the intervention, and after each session, it was confirmed that the GAS increased when measuring the target activities (Supine Flexion Posture; SFP, Walking by Arms; WA, Stand on Balance Ball; SBB). Conclusion : This study provided evidence that sensory integration has a positive effect on performing target activities (SFP, WA, SBB) and improving relationships with peers in children with somatodyspraxia.

Objective : This study aims to ascertain the effect of oral activity and sensory integration therapy on drool and play using oral toys in children with developmental delays. Methods : The participants of the study were two children (2 years and 8 months) experiencing developmental delays with sensory modulation problems in their oral sensory faculties. The research design was multi-baseline design cross-subjects among single-subject research ABA. Target behaviors were measured by drooling and interest and concentration in play using oral toys through the Goal Attachment Scale (GAS). In the 10 sessions that the children underwent during the intervention period (B), oral activity and proprioception-vestibular sensory integration therapy were applied. Results : The GAS of drooling improved from 0.25 for child A and -0.5 for child B during the baseline to 1.88 for child A and 1.4 for child B during the intervention period. The follow-up was 3 for both child A and child B. Meanwhile, the GAS of play during the baseline was -0.75 for child A and 0.75 for child B, and 1.9 for child A and 1.1 for child B during the intervention period. The follow-up was 1.33 for child A and 2 for child B. Conclusion : Oral activity and proprioceptive-vestibular sensory integration therapy are effective in drooling and playing with oral toys in children with sensory modulation problems in their oral sensory faculties.

The lateral line scales of the Labridae fish are ellipse, pentagoanl, or hexagonal, but most of them are the hexagonal type. Those of Ciarrhilabrus temminckii, ellipse, Xyrichtys dea, Choerodon azurio, Semicossyphus reticulatus and Bodianus oxycephalus are pentagonal. The most complex species are Choerodon azurio which is pentagonal, but similar tohexagonal, and Pteragogus flagellifera which is hexagonal, but similar to pentagonal type. The sizes of sensory tubes for the Labroides dimidiatus and Cheilio inermis were larger than the other group and Xyrichtys dea had most narrow one. These varied sizes of sensory tube indicate that development of sensory tube is deeply connected with inhabitation.

Objective : The purpose of this research is understanding relevancy of school ages'ability of sensory process and preference of what they want to play, and studying of main reason of impact of sensory process to preference of what school ages want to play. Methods : During 22 to 24 October 2012, our group evaluated and analyzed ability of sensory process and preference of what children want to play by using Short Sensory Profile (SSP) and Pediatric Interest Profile (PIP) to elementary school children in fourth grade at Kimhae city in Kyungnam province. Results : For the total population of an ability of sensory process and frequency, preference, and proficiency of eight different games, preference of outdoor activities appears to be related to total score of sensitivity to taste and smell and filter of hearing. For preference and proficiency of creative activities appears to be related to sensitivity of taste and smell. Preference of lessons and classes related to total scores of sensitivity of tactile sensation, taste and smell, movement, and filter of hearing, and sensitivity of visual and hearing. Frequency and proficiency of lessons and classes are inter-related to sensitivity of visual and hearing. Conclusion : This research shows that there is no inter-relationship between function of sensory process and preference of what children want to play, however certain games relevantly show the inter-relationship. The research provides the basic data of what the preference of what children want to play and determine what children can play during occupational therapy with plays after studying inter-relationship of school ages'ability of sensory process and games.
