신의약품의 생식독성 평가를 위해서는 타독성시험의 경우와 마찬가지로 NOEL (no observed effect level) 의 범위를 확립하는 일이 매우 중요한데, 이것은 정상치(control values), 자연발생소견 (spontaneous findings)등과 비교함으로서 가능하다. SPF 동물을 이용한 독성실험은 선진국에 비해 역사가 짧을 뿐만 아니라 아직 풍부한 기초자료가 확립되지 않아 외국의 자료들을 인용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 랫트를 이용한 최기형 시험결과의 효율적인 평가를 위해 생식독성 검사항목의 기초 데이타를 확립하였다. 이를 위해 화학연구소 실험동물육종실에서 입수한 SPF: Sprague- Dawley 랫트를 이용해 1989년부터 1991년까지 실시한 생식독성 시험의 대조준 데이타 (체중, 사료소비량, 장기중량, 제왕절개성적, 외표, 내부장기 및 골격검사성적, 자연분만군 시험성적 등)를 분석하였다. 요늑의 발현율, 견인력 시험결과 및 피모발생 일평이 외국의 타 연구기판 데이타와 다소 차이를 나타냈을 뿐 기타 항목들은 거의 일치하는 정상치를 보였다. 아울러 기형, 변이, 골화지연 등으로 구분되는 골격소견의 합리적인 평가를 위해 랫트 골격소견 평가기준을 정했고 최기형 시험에서 얻어지는 데이터의 통계처리 방법을 보완, 체계화하였다. 본 연구결과는 Sprague-Dawley 계통 랫트외 생물학적 정외는 물론 효율적인 생식독성 평가를 위한 소중한 기초 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다.

In this research, we have developed a ski-simulation system based on a physics-based simulation model using Newton's second law of motion. Key parameters of the model, which estimates skier's trajectory, speed and acceleration change due to skier's control on ski plate and posture changes, were derived from a field test study performed on real ski slope. Skier's posture and motion were measured by motion capture system composed of 13 high speed IR camera, and skier's control and pressure distribution on ski plate were measured by acceleration and pressure sensors attached on ski plate and ski boots. Developed ski-simulation model analyzes user's full body and center of mass using a depth camera(Microsoft Kinect) device in real time and provides feedback about force, velocity and acceleration for user. As a result, through the development of interactive ski-simulation motion recognition system, we accumulated experience and skills based on physics models for development of sports simulator.

한의학적 중요 진단방법의 하나인 맥진은 한의사 경험에 의해 구전되거나 전수되어 판단 기준이 모호하여 객관화 및 표준화하기 어려운 상황이다. 이를 위해 한의사가 맥진에서 측정하는 물리적 요소를 신뢰성 있게 측정할 수 있는 맥진기 개발이 진행되었으며, 측정된 맥진기 데이터를 이용하여 맥의 부/침, 허/실, 대/세의 정도를 판별할 수 있는 함수식을 만들어 향후 맥진을 자동으로 진단할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 산출하는 연구를 수행중이다. 그런데 맥진기는 환자의 맥파 신호 이외에 다른 정보를 고려하고 있지 않고 있지만 임상에서 한의사들은 환자의 키와 몸집 등 눈으로 관찰된 환자정보를 반영하여 맥진을 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 환자의 기초 정보 중, BMI가 맥진에 영향을 줄 것으로 가정하고, BMI와 연관성이 있을 것으로 예상되는 부/침, 허/실, 대/세의 판별함수 결과 값을 이용하여 BMI의 등급에 따라 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 부/침의 정도는 비만인 그룹에서 맥이 가라앉아있고 저체중인 그룹에서는 맥이 떠있는 경향이 나타났고, 대/세의 정도는 비만인 그룹에서는 맥의 굵기가 넓고 저체중의 집단에서는 맥의 굵기가 좁은 경향이 나타났다. 따라서 부/침, 대/세를 판별하는 진단 알고리즘을 개발할 경우 개인의 BMI를 고려한 진단 알고리즘이 연구되어야 하겠다.

The present study sought to assess the health-related behavior affecting hypertension in the Korean elderly. A data set comprising 1,404 subjects aged ≥65 from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VIII-1 (2019) was analyzed. In men, the incidence of hypertension was associated with age (odds ratio [OR], 1.056; P=0.004), absence of a family history of chronic diseases (OR, 0.662; P=0.024), underweight status (OR, 0.142; P<0.001), normal weight status (OR, 0.390; P<0.001), and non-drinkers (OR, 0.552; P=0.001). In women, the incidence of hypertension was associated with age (OR, 1.091; P<0.001), absence of a family history of chronic diseases (OR, 0.424; P<0.001), normal weight status (OR, 0.532; P<0.001), and poor subjective health level (OR, 1.640; P=0.018). In conclusion, the factors affecting hypertension in men were age, obesity, family history of chronic diseases, and drinking. In women, the factors affecting hypertension were age, obesity, family history of chronic diseases, and subjective health level. Therefore, it is proposed to make efforts to establish gender-appropriate health promotion and intervention programs and health policies to reduce the incidence of hypertension in the elderly.

Purpose: Low dose of PET/CT is important because of Patient's X-ray exposure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low-dose PET/ CT image through the CTAC and QAC of patient study and phantom study. Materials and Methods: We used the discovery 710 PET/CT (GE). We used the NEMA IEC body phantom for evaluating the PET data corrected by ultra-low dose CT attenuation correction method and NU2-94 phantom for uniformity. After injection of 70.78 MBq and 22.2 MBq of 18 F-FDG were done to each of phantom, PET/CT scans were obtained. PET data were reconstructed by using of CTAC of which dose was for the diagnosis CT and Q. AC of which was only for attenuation correction. Quantitative analysis was performed by use of horizontal profile and vertical profile. Reference data which were corrected by CTAC were compared to PET data which was corrected by the ultra-low dose. The relative error was assessed. Patients with over weighted and normal weight also underwent a PET/CT scans according to low dose protocol and standard dose protocol. Relative error and signal to noise ratio of SUV were analyzed. Results: In the results of phantom test, phantom PET data were corrected by CTAC and Q.AC and they were compared each other. The relative error of Q.AC profile was been calculated, and it was shown in graph. In patient studies, PET data for overweight patient and normal weight patient were reconstructed by CTAC and Q.AC under routine dose and ultra-low dose. When routine dose was used, the relative error was small. When high dose was used, the result of overweight patient was effectively corrected by Q.AC. Conclusion: In phantom study, CTAC method with 80 kVp and 10 mA was resulted in bead hardening artifact. PET data corrected by ultra- low dose CTAC was not quantified, but those by the same dose were quantified properly. In patients' cases, PET data of over weighted patient could be quantified by Q.AC method. Its relative difference was not significant. Q.AC method was proper attenuation correction method when ultra-low dose was used. As a result, it is expected that Q.AC is a good method in order to reduce patient's exposure dose.

This study aimed to identify binge-eating behavior and food addiction in Korean population and to determine their associations with obesity, eating behaviors, mental health and cognitive characteristics. We collected clinical questionnaire scores related to eating problems (e.g. binge eating, food addiction, food cravings), mental health (e.g. depression), and cognitive functions (e.g. impulsivity, emotion regulation) in 257 Korean adults in the normal and the obese weight ranges. Binge-eating and food addiction were most frequent in obese women (binge-eating: 46.6%, food addiction: 29.3%) when we divided the participants into 4 groups depending on gender and obesity status. The independence test using the data with propensity score matching confirmed that binge-eating and food addiction were more prevalent in obese individuals. Finally, we constructed the logistic regression models using forward selection method to evaluate the influence of various clinical questionnaire scores on binge-eating and food addiction respectively. Binge-eating was significantly associated with the clinical scales of eating disorders, food craving, state anxiety, and emotion regulation (cognitive reappraisal) as well as food addiction. Food addiction demonstrated the significant effect of food craving, binge-eating, the interaction of obesity and age, and years of education. In conclusion, we found that binge-eating and food addiction are much more frequent in females and obese individuals. Both binge-eating and food addiction commonly involved eating problems (e.g. food craving), but there was difference in mental health and cognitive risk factors. Therefore, it is required to distinguish food addiction from binge-eating and investigate intrinsic and environmental risk factors for each pathology.
