본 논문에서는 시퀀스 이미지에서 스케일-스페이스 필터링을 통한 특징점 추출과 질감도(texturedness) 비교를 적용한 특징점 추적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 특징점을 추출하기 위해서 정의된 오퍼레이터를 이용하는데, 이때 설정되는 스케일 파라미터는 특징점 선정 및 위치 설정에 영향을 주게 되며, 특징점 추적 알고리즘의 성능과도 관계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 스케일-스페이스 필터링을 통한 특징점 선정 및 위치 설정 방안을 제시한다. 영상 시퀀스에서, 카메라 시점 변화 또는 물체의 움직임은 특징점 추적 윈도우내에 아핀 변환을 가지게 하는데, 대응점 추적을 위한 유사도 측정에 어려움을 준다. 본 논문에서는 Shi-Tomasi-Kanade 추적 알고리즘에 기반하여, 아핀 변환에 비교적 견실한 특징점의 질감도 비교를 수행하는 최적 대응점 탐색 방법을 제안한다.

In the clinics of traditional medicine, various acupuncture methods, that is Sa-Am' acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, auricular acupuncture and Dong-Shi' acupuncture, have been introduced and increased gradually to treat the diseases. In this bibliographic study, we examined the interrelation between the Dong Shi' acupuncture and 12 regular channels. The theoretical origination of Dong Shi' acupuncture and 12 regular channels was applied from Yin and Yang, Five Element, State of Viscera and so on. As the treatment using by 12 regular channels have used to 'regulating Qi and Treating Shin (調氣治神)', Dong Shi' acupuncture have used to the itself defense mechanism and relative balance of human beings. Also, these methods have the same rules that was selected to the opposing needling (巨刺) of remote point selection, however, Ah-Shi' points (阿是穴) were not used for the selection. Of Dong-Shi' acu-points, there were many ones which have the same location as the acupoints of regular channels. However, these one was renamed according to the new characteristics and therapeutics found by Dong Shi. Dong Shi' acupuncture has divided human body to the 12 areas but not considered to the concept of a mutual connection of human being body. The needling manipulation methods were vary at the regular channels, but Dong Shi' acupuncture did not use the traditional manipulation method except for supplementary Dong-Qi acupuncture, To-Ma acupuncture and To-In acupuncture. From these study, we found that the Dong-Shi' acupuncture have something in common with 12 regular channels, although the Dong-Shi' acupuncture was not based on the theory of 12 regular channels.

Objectives : It is known that the five Su points are very useful clinically. The following study was undertaken in order to find out the general characteristic and the origin of the five Su points. Methods: We investigated the relation of symptoms that are treated by five Su points and Shi-Dong Suo-Sheng-Bing(是動 所生病). The main reference book was Zhen Jiu Jia Yi jing(鍼灸甲乙經) and the author took Liver Meridian of Foot Gworeum(足厥陰肝經) as an example. Results : 1. Five Su point of Liver Meridian of Foot Gworeum(足厥陰肝經) treats Shi-Dong-Bing(是動病) of Liver Meridian of Foot Gworeum. It is peculiarity of Five Su point of Liver Meridian of Foot Gworeum, differed from the others acupoints. Symptoms of Shi-Dang-Bing appears with the abnormal pulsation of Merdian Gi(脈氣), and the special feature of Shi-Dang-Bing is the symptoms are consisted of disorders of whole body, trobles of an internal organ, and psychosomatic disorders. 2. In , it is described the part of pulse feeling for Shi-Dong-Bing(是動病) of Liver Meridian of Foot Gworeum(足厥陰肝經) as ‘A region that is 2 Chon(寸) from the basic digital joint of the first toe’. This region is agree with the acupoint of Liver Meridian of Foot Gworeum in , . And Haeng-gan(行間) Tae-chung(太衝), members of five Su-points of Liver Meridian of Foot Gworeum is situated the same region. So we suppose that the part of pulse feeling for Shi-Dong-Bing of Liver Meridian of Foot Gworeum is transformed into Haeng-gan(行間) Tae-chung(太衝), among the five Su points.

In this article, we consider a fourth order nonlinear difference system. By making use of the critical point theory, we obtain some new existence theorems of at least one periodic solution with minimal period. Our main approach used in this article is the variational technique and the Saddle Point Theorem.

Purpose : Excessive alcohol causes damage to skeletal muscles, leading to the development of a specific disease entity called alcoholic myopathy. Chronic inflammation is related as an underlying mechanism for the loss of muscle mass induced by alcohol. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α) and IL-6 (interleukin-6) play a role in this process. The acupuncture point Feng Shi (GB 31) is located on the midline of the lateral aspect of the thigh, above the transverse popliteal crease. This acupoint is used for the treatment of weakness, atrophy, numbness, and post-stroke symptoms of lower limbs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Feng Shi stimulation on muscle atrophy caused by chronic alcohol administration. Method : Young male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups of eight each: Normal, Control, and GB31. The rats in the Control and GB31 groups were orally given 25 % ethanol (5 ㎖/kg, body weight) daily for 4 weeks. The Normal group was similarly administered saline. The acupressure at Feng Shi was treated to rats in the GB31 group. After 4 weeks, the body weight, muscle weight and cross-sectional area of gastrocnemius were assessed and the histological changes in gastrocnemius muscle fiber were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Moreover, TNF-α and IL-6 expressions were immunohistochemistrically evaluated. Results : Acupressure stimulation at Feng Shi had a protective effect on the weight reduction of the gastrocnemius muscle caused by alcohol intake, and had an effect of suppressing anatomical change in muscle fiber and decreasing the average cross-sectional area. Also, the immunoreactivities of TNF-α and IL-6 in the GB31 group were decreased. Conclusion : These results suggest that acupressure at Feng Shi has protective effects on chronic alcohol-induced muscle atrophy by inhibiting pre-inflammatory proteins such as TNF-α and IL-6.

본고는 근대 전환기 심재(深齋) 조긍섭(曺兢燮)(1873-1933)의 시세계를 화운시(和韻詩)를 중심으로 살펴보았다. 그의 시에는 화운시 특히 두보(杜甫)와 소식(蘇軾) 시에 대한 화운시가 많다. 이것은 그가 격변의 시기에 가장 전통적인 방법으로 한시창작에 임했던 중세적 시인이었음을 가늠케 한다. 화운시를 놓고 보았을 때 그의 창작 생애는 대략 40세가 전환의 기점이 된다. 40세 이전에는 두 소뿐만 아니라 그 밖에 당(唐) 송(宋) 및 명(明) 청(淸) 대(代) 시인들, 우리나라의 이황(李滉) 등 화운의 대상이 폭넓게 나타난다. 40세 이후에는 두 소에 대한 화운은 줄어드는 대신 지역과 관련된 우리나라 인물의 시에 화운하는 예가 종종 발견된다. 연령으로는 30대에 지은 것이 가장 많다. 심재는 시재(詩才)의 온전함과 의경(意境)의 통달함을 꼽으며 두보를 '시인의 집대성(集大成)'이라 일컬었다. 그런 인식을 반영하듯이 두시 화운시도 주제와 의경이 다양하게 드러난다. 소시(蘇詩)에 대해서는 그가 따로 생각을 밝힌 바 없으나 일정한 애호를 가지고 있었던 것으로 보인다. 원시에 대한 밀착도는 두시가 소시보다 비교적 더 높게 나타난다. 거칠게 말하면 두보에 대해서는 닮고자 하면서 자기 개성을 찾아나가는 방향이라면, 소식에 대해서는 닮으려 하기보다 계기로 활용해서 자기 의사를 드러내려는 측면이 좀 더 많은 것으로 생각된다. 신중하게 보아야 할 것은 그가 화운시를 짓되 일방적인 모방에 그치지 않고 대조와 차이의 미학을 만들어 내고 있다는 점이다. 그 주제와 의경을 그대로 가져오기보다는 창작의 계기는 공유하되 시 안에 자기 뜻을 기탁해 새로운 의미를 만드는 경우가 많다. 소시 화운시는 전반적으로 원시와의 밀착력이 더 희박한 편이다. 이것은 화운이라는 제약이 많은 창작 방법을 활용하면서도 그에 전적으로 지배되지 않고 자신의 주제와 개성을 만들기 위해 노력한 흔적이라고 할 수 있다. 그런데 두 소시 화운시가 40세 이후로는 별로 지어지지 않는다는 점이 주목된다. 이것은 어쩌면 화운시 '안'에서의 노력만으로는 더 이상 감당하기 어려운 문학적 현실을 자각한 때문은 아닐까. 예컨대 그는 1919년 소식의 옥중시(獄中詩)를 차운해 4수를 짓고 다시 <구중잡제(拘中雜題)[팔수(八首)]>를 지었다. 이것저것 읊은 이 잡제에는 누구의 운에도 제약되지 않은 그의 복잡다단한 심사와 정회가 다종하게 분출되어 있다. 심재의 화운시는 근대 전환기에 한시의 아비투스가 생존했던 현실과 그 인상적인 생존 방식을 증언해 준다. 화운시 창작은 분명 그의 호고(好古)적 성향을 반영하는 것이나, 이면에는 근대적 문자 변동에 저항하는 심리가 일정하게 작용했을 것으로 판단된다. 아울러 유의할 것은 그것이 두 소시에 대한 일방적인 모습(模襲)과 같은 반동적 방향으로 내닿지는 않았다는 사실이다. 그가 한계 속에서도 자기 개성과 목소리를 내기 위해 노력했다는 점을 다시 한 번 의미 있게 새길 필요가 있다. 요컨대, 심재의 화운시는, 새로움과 기이함, '근대'라는 이름의 시도에 이목을 붙들렸던 근대 한시사에서 '접혀 있던' 한쪽 얼굴, 그 평면이 아닌 입체로서의 얼굴을 펼쳐 보게 하는 의의가 있다.
