This study serves the purpose of understanding about correct jump and landing motion through Kinematical Analysis of Straddle Jump to Push up Motion at target by four elite sports aerobics athletes have more than four years career. And further more that make good assistance for coaches effective guidance through an offer basic data and correct diagnosis, evaluate of motions. It was picture-taked by two-video camera for Straddle Jump to Push up Motions. Camera speeds are 60 frame/sec. There are Kinematical Variation elements for analysis, the displacement of COG, each angle displacement left/right of shoulder-joint, each angle displacement left/right of knee-joint and each speed left/right of tip of the toes. Every each person accomplished severaly 3 times and we have acquired this conclusion. The conclusions were as follows; 1. Each situation for displacement of COG showed low height of COG by phase 1, 4, 5(79.05${\pm}9.07,\;46.41{\pm}3.65,\;18.66{\pm}0.54cm$) and It showed high height of COG by phase 2, 3($120.80{\pm}6.13,\;148.12{\pm}9.19cm$). 2.

The objectives of the present experiments were to characterize the effects of the peptides belonging to the pancreatic polypeptide family on the contractility of cerebral arteries and to observe the interactions of these peptides with the cyclic nucleotide activators and the potassium channel openers. Dogs of either sex, $20{\sim}30\;Kg$ in weight, were sacrificed. Basilar and middle cerebral arteries from brain were isolated and prepared for myography in the PSS equilibrated with 95% $O_2$ and 5% $CO_2$ at $37^{\circ}C$. The endothelial cells of the spiral strips were removed by CHAPS solution (0.3% w/v, 15 seconds). 1. PP, PYY and NPY contracted the arterial strips concentration-dependently with a rank order of potency of PYY>NPY>PP. These peptides were 20 to 200 times more potent than norepinephrine, and only PYY showed a greater potency than 5-HT. 2. Cyclic nucleotide activators, forskolin (for cAMP) and sodium nitroprusside (for cGMP) reduced the basal tone and inhibited the PP-, PYY- and NPY- induced contractions by concentration-dependent manners. Forskolin was more potent in reducing basal tone than sodium nitroprusside. 3. Potassium channel openers, RP 49356, P 1060 and BRL 38227 reduced the basal tone concentration-dependently and tended to inhibit the PP-, PYY- and NPY- induced contractions. Notably, BRL 38227 with low concentration $(0.1\;{\mu}M)$ enhanced the contractions induced by those peptides while P 1060 inhibited the contractions concentration-dependently. 4. The combinations of the cyclic nucleotide activators and the potassium channel openers were slightly additive in reducing the basal tone. P 1060 and BRL 38227 enhanced the relaxant effect of sodium nitroprusside significantly. On the PYY-induced contration $(0.1\;{\mu}M)$, $K^+$ channel openers tended to inhibit the inhibitory actions of forskolin and sodium nitroprusside. P 1060 and BRL 38227 antagonized the inhibitory action of sodium nitroprusside significantly. The results of the present study may be summarized that in canine cerebral arteries, not only NPY but also PYY may play a role in a cerebrovascular spasm, and intracellular concentration of either cAMP or cGMP may be involved in the mechanism of vasoconstrictive actions of these peptides, which may be affected either positively or negatively by a $K^+$ channel opener.

The purpose of this study was to investigate basic factors of obesity, nutrient intakes, behaviors of dietary life, daily energy expenditure and emphasize on the necessity of school education. Because the growing prevalence of obesity have required a need for health education in school. The results were as follows. 1. The average height of boys and girls was l59${\pm}$13cm(boys), l54${\pm}$11cm(girls). The average weight of them was 68${\pm}$16kg(boys), 70${\pm}$13kg(girls). BMI(body mass index) of them was 26.9${\pm}$3.4(boys), 29.5${\pm}$2.9(girls). 2. For energy and protein, the average intakes of subjects were higher than recommended dietary allowances for Koreans(7th Ed). The average intakes of vitamin A and ascorbic acid were much lower than the recommended dietary allowances. 3. Most of subjects prefer fast food, rich snacks and overeating, irregular meal amount and these dietary behaviors were severe problems. 4. Total energy expenditure was 1,933kcal in boys and 1,789kcal in girls. To reduce weight and treat obesity, the required energy intake to subjects was 1,546kcal(boys) and 1,431kcal(girls). If we prepared the effective program for obesity, school education should be integrated within the larger community. Parents of students and students may be educated to make good health changes in the home. Nutrition education has a direct impact on their life style of their food intake and nutritional status. The use of multi-component obesity treatments will be effective in a school setting. It is more effective to encourage health habits in school, house and it should be integrated within the larger community.

Terminal pediatric patient include congenital metabolic abnormalities, chromosome aberrations, congenital anomalies, neuromuscular diseases and other incurable conditions as well as malignant tumors. One third of these diseases are cancers, and two thirds of cancers are lymphadenoma and leukemia. Terminal pediatric patient may feel fear, anger and frustration against treatment process in hospitals, lose control of themselves and stay in helplessness due to restrictions within controlled hospital environment. This study examined the relationship between hospitalized childrens behavior and music using Contextual Support Model of Music Therapya theory stating therapeutic music environments possess three elements of Structure, Autonomy support and Involvement, and increase childrens active engagement. Focused on these three therapeutic elements, this study analyzed music therapy cases of terminally ill children to examine the relationship between childrens behavior and music as environmental supportive medium in the environment. This study is on a single case case subject, a 10-year-old girl with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Nine sessions of music therapy activities were conducted and analyzed using qualitative method. Focusing on three therapeutic elements of Contextual Support Model, analysis of sessions was made on the basis of activities specifically designed for this study. Main music therapy activities included singing while playing musical instruments, singing while listening to music through CD player, making up songs, and searching for song lines. The findings of this study are as follows: a) in terms of Structure, music therapy suggested a direction for effective musical activities for terminally ill children by providing environments where child can sing, play musical instruments and make up songs; b) in terms of Autonomy support, music therapy encouraged childs voluntary participation by giving her chances to make choice while singing or playing musical instruments; c) in terms of Involvement, child could gain positive approval of the therapist and conduct musical activities in cooperation with the therapist. Music therapy serves as supportive medium in the environment, develops spontaneity and self-reliance in emotionally depressed children, and promotes voluntary attitudes in the restricted hospital environment. Based on the positive effects of music therapy, more studies need to be conducted with an approach to more various terminal pediatric patients.

This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of enzymatically modified stevia (EMS) on C2C12 cell-based model of dexamethasone (DEX)-induced muscle atrophy to provide baseline data for utilizing EMS in functional health products. C2C12 cells with DEX-induced muscle atrophy were treated with EMS (10, 50, and 100 ㎍/mL) for 24 h. C2C12 cells were treated with EMS and DEX to test their effects on cell viability and myotube formation (myotube diameter and fusion index), and analyze the expression of muscle strengthening or degrading protein markers. Schisandra chinensis Extract, a common functional ingredient, was used as a positive control. EMS did not show any cytotoxic effect at all treatment concentrations. Moreover, it exerted protective effects on C2C12 cell-based model of DEX-induced muscle atrophy at all concentrations. In addition, the positive effect of EMS on myotube formation was confirmed based on the measurement and comparison of the fusion index and myotube diameter when compared with myotubes treated with DEX alone. EMS treatment reduced the expression of muscle cell degradation-related proteins Fbx32 and MuRF1, and increased the expression of muscle strengthening and synthesis related proteins SIRT1 and pAkt/Akt. Thus, EMS is a potential ingredient for developing functional health foods and should be further evaluated in preclinical models.
