In this paper, capture motion and visual information from a virtual reality luge simulator to analyze muscular activity in the lower limbs. The Luge Simulator consists of a motion platform with a pneumatic module for weight distribution. We recruited luge athletes and healthy subjects and made real-time surface EMG measurements to estimate the muscular activity in the lower limbs according to the motion protocol of a simulator, and a test was conducted for each subject. The results indicated that the rectus femoris had the highest muscular activity according to the level of the slope and velocity of the luge. The soleus muscle showed a high level of activity during a turn in the luge according to the direction. We found that the development of a virtual reality sports simulator based on physical reaction results could bring positive effects to optimize reality and human cenesthesia.

Cytochrome oxidase activities have been compared from crude sumibitochondrial preparations of rat skeletal muscle tissues. Fast red (type $II_A$) preparation has highest cytochrome oxidase activity, slow red (type I) next, and fast white (type $II_B$) the lowest. Differences of electrophoretic mobilities have been detected by heme staining. Migration of heme band is in the order of slow red>fast red>fast white from fastest to slowest. Results of immunoelectrophoresis have substantiated the above finding.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of sling and vibrator application of knee push-up plus motion on trunk muscle activities. Ten healthy adult males(age, 23.00±0.45 years; height, 176.60±1.64 cm; body mass, 67.50±1.22 kg; and BMI, 21.65±0.34 kg/㎡) were participated in this study as subjects. Three types' knee push-up plus motions were performed(basic knee push-up plus motion, BKPP; knee push-up plus motion with sling, KPPS; knee push-up plus motion with vibration, KPPV). We measured the right side's trunk muscle activities of the upper trapezius(UT), pectoralis major(PM), serratus anterior(SA), rectus abdominis(RA), and external oblique(EO). The research findings were as follows. UT, PM, SA, RA, and EO muscle activities were greatest during KPPV(p<.001). These results are expected to serve as reference materials for knee push-up plus motion applications in training programs for trunk muscle strengthening.

This study is intended to provide a basic clinical data useful for preventing shoulder injuries related to occupation and curing them, by measuring the shoulder muscle activity of normal adults in an arm posture type of a wide shoulder joint angle, according to several differences of hand grip force. In order to examine the shoulder muscle activity during hand grips at a variety of intensity, according to the arm posture type, MVCs of all subjects were measured, and %MVCs of anterior deltoid, supraspinatus, the upper trapezius and infraspinatus at 0 degree, 90 degrees and 160 degrees of shoulder angle were yielded according to the grip force in an arm posture type, changing the maximum grip force into 30%, 50% and 90%, randomly. When measuring the hand grip at 30%, 50% and 70% of the maximum grip force to compare %MVC of each group depending on the arm posture type, there were no significant differences of muscle activity at 0 degree of shoulder angle among anterior deltoid, supraspinatus, the upper trapezius and infraspinatus, but there were significant differences of it among them at 90 degrees and 160 degrees of should angle(p<.001). According to the results of post-hoc test, also, anterior deltoid had the highest muscle activity, whereas the upper trapezius had the lowest muscle activity.

Endogeneous activities of ${\beta}-galactosidase$-like enzyme in various tissues from several finfishes and shellfishes were examined by histochemical analysis based on X-gal staining and by fluorimetric measurement using 4-methylumbelliferyl-${\beta}$-D-galactoside (4-MUG). Species used in this study were 3 freshwater fishes, mud loach (Misgurnus mizolepis), common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ; 3 marine fishes, olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) and marbled sole (Limanda yokohamae) ; and 4 shellfishes, abalone (Haliotis discus hannai), Pacific oyster (Crassoskra gigas), pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii) and ark shell (Anadara broughtonii). The activities of ${\beta}-galactosidase$-like enzyme in all finfishes examined were significantly different among species, with the wide variations between tissues in a species. In general, the tissues such as kidney, intestine and liver were ones which showed the significantly higher values in 4-MUG fluorimetry and deeper staining patterns in X-gal analysis compared to other tissues. On the other hand, serum and muscle revealed the significantly lower activities than others did, regardless of species. Shellfishes were also found to have endogenous activities of ${\beta}-galactosidase$-like enzyme which were significantly varied depending on both species and organs in a species. Hepatopancreas from all shellfishes examined showed the deepest pattern in X-gal staining and also the highest value in 4-MUG analysis, while activities of ${\beta}-galactosidase$-like enzyme in adductor muscles and mantle muscles from all shellfish species in this study except Pacific oyster were negligible : Pacific oyster had the significant activity of this enzyme in muscle tissues. Putative endogenous lacZ fragment was amplified from both finfishes and shellfishes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The molecular size of PCR products was about 510 bp, and there was no difference in size among species examined.

This study was designed as a part of efforts to investigate the biochemical pollutant markers for diagnosis of marine pollutions by changes in cholinesterase activity of the flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in tie South Sea of Korea. Aceflcholinesterase (AChE) activities in brain and muscle of cultured flounders in the South Sea were significantly lower ($10\~20\%$ and $12\~19\%$, respectively) than those of wild flounder in Pohang of the East Sea as a control. Buthrylcholinesterase (BChE) activites in brain and muscle of cultured flounders in the South Sea were also remarkably lower ($25\~40\%$ and $22\~35\%$, respectively) than those of wild flounder in Pohang. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activites in serum of cultured flounders in South Sea were significantly higher ($10\~55\%$) than those of wild flounder in Pohang. It suggests that AChE, BChE and LDH activities of the flounders clould be used as effective biochemical markers for early warning of environmental damages caused by organophosphorus pesticides.

본 연구는 교각운동시 불안정한 지지면과 안정적인 지지면을 제공하여 체간 및 하지의 근 활성도의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 이 연구의 대상자는 20대 남, 여 14명이었다. 실험방법은 일반적 교각자세와 다이나믹 에어쿠션을 이용한 교각자세를 실시한 후에 무선 8채널 표면근전도 검사기를 이용하여 체간부의 척추기립근, 복직근, 대퇴의 대퇴직근, 외측 슬괵근, 하퇴부의 전경골근, 비복근 외측두에서 근활성 정도를 측정하였다. 체간부의 척추 기립근, 대퇴이두근, 가자미근은 불안정한 지지면에서 근활성도가 높게 나타났다(p<.05). 따라서, 교각운동에서 불안정한 지지면의 제공은 신체의 배측에 위치한 근육의 활성화를 나타내어, 교각운동시 지지면의 안정성의 변화만으로도근육활성도의 변화가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

헤민과 메나디온 제한에 의한 Porphyromonas gingivalis(P. gingivalis) W50의 병독력의 변화를 검색하고자, 실험관내 병독력을 NIH 3T3 세포의 세포활성 변화로 관찰하였고, 생체내 병독력은 배양상청액을 ICR mouse 피하조직에 주사한 후의 염증반응을 관찰하였다. 헤민 존재 하에 배양한 P. gingivalis W50 배양상청액에 의한 mouse 3T3 세포의 세포활성은 헤민과 메나디온 없이 배양한 세포의 활성보다 낮았다. 헤민과 메나디온을 첨가하지 않고 배양한 세균의 생체내 병독력은 중등도의 염증세포 침윤과 울혈에 의한 출혈, 미약한 세포간질의 부종과 근육 파괴를 보였다. 메나디온 존재 하에서 배양한 세균은 미약한 염증세포의 침윤, 울혈에 의한 출혈 및 근육의 파괴가 관찰되었다. 헤민 존재하에서 중등도의 울혈에 의한 출혈, 미약한 세포간질의 부종, 염증세포의 침윤 및 근육파괴가 관찰되었다. 헤민과 메나디온 존재 하에서 배양한 세균은 심한 염증세포의 침윤과 중등도의 세포간질의 부종 및 울혈에 의한 출혈을 보였다. 이상의 연구 결과 P. gingivalis W50 배양 상층액의 병독력은 헤민에 의하여 영향을 받는 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the effects of whole-body vibration and to provide scientific basis for effective exercise by analyzing the differences in lower extremity muscle activation according to squat position during whole body vibration. In this study, muscle activation during whole-body vibration was measured in 10 healthy males in their 20s with no orthopedic conditions during standing posture, deep squat, half squat, and heel raise squat. Muscle activation was compared by measuring the root mean square (RMS) with electromyography electrodes attached to lateral gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior, vastus lateralis, and biceps femoris. The vibration intensity was applied in combinations of the volumes of 50 and 80 and the frequencies of 10, 25, and 40 Hz in each posture. The results showed that there were differences in muscle activations of external gastrocnemius, tibialis anterior, and vastus lateralis among the position(p<.05). The heal raise squat was found to have a high muscle activation effect.
