This study describes the battery functional test in order to explore vestibular oculomotor system. These tests are the following : a) acceleration test by using a pseudorandom stimulus. b) caloric test by considering both the constant temperature variation in the semicircular canals for a short time and the only head movement, to the fore and the back, for the ear ir- rigation, which gave us two types of stimulus (cold and warm) according to the only head position. c) optokinetic test by continuous constant velocity displacement of a large image fill- ing the entire subject's visual field. With relation to the clinical practices, some results of research programs which are at present in progress are presented.

Three types of infant food were experimentally prepared based on the average caloric requirement for, Koreans : Formula A, with 1/3 RDA for 4-6 month, formula B, with 1/2 RDA for 7-9 month, and formula C, with 2/3 RDA for 10-12 month old infants. Into each formula was added approximately 50% of rice. Analysis of the nutritive values on these formula showed no deviance Com the expected values in case of general nutrients while the percent of essential amino acids in protein was muck higher except methionine. Since iron content was found to be below the half of except values, a sufficient amount of iron as required in RDA should be additionally supplied, for example, in iron drops. The infant preference test on each formula showed much favorable acceptability : 50% of them responded as moderate, 33.3% as favorable, 12.5% as disliking, and 4.2% as disgusting. The test also showed no noticeable change in both feces and appetite.

Vestibular dysfunction has rarely been reported in MELAS syndrome. A 40-year-old male with long-term diabetes and hearing loss experienced a stroke-like episode with hemisensory disturbance and lactic acidosis. Brain MRI showed temporo-parieto-occipital cortical lesions, and a final diagnosis was made of MELAS syndrome with the mitochondrial 3243A>G mutation. Neuro-otologic evaluations revealed anterior-canal-sparing bilateral impairments of the vestibulo-ocular reflex in the video head impulse test and no caloric paresis. This unique pattern of vestibular dysfunction may aid in diagnosing MELAS syndrome.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of diet education on nutritional status in patients with gastrectomy. Method: This study was designed with a nonequivalent control group pre-post test. Ten patients were assigned to the experimental group and fifteen were assigned to the control group. The experiemental group was given the diet education by multimedia including complications after gastrectomy, the way of how to prevent these complications, precautions that patients need to be follow, and food that patients should and shouldn't eat. Data were analysed with a $x^2$-test(Fisher' exact test) and Independent sample t-test, Repeated measures ANOVA, using SPSS WIN 15.0 program. Results: There were significant differences in weight, daily caloric intake, knowledge score between experimental and control group. However, there was a no significant difference in blood profile(albumin, total protein, hemoglobin) between two groups. Conclusion: This study shows that the diet education with multimedia could improve nutritional status for the patients who had gastrectomy.

The energy expended while playing tennis was determined from the players heart rate and from the amount of oxygen they consumed. This study was made using eight healthy but unathletic male college students. Expired air was collected for 2 minute periods during each game by the Douglas bag method. Samples were collected when serving and receiving. The air collected was measured using a wet test gas meter. The amount of air collected was expressed in STPD. Oxygen consumption was determined by measuring the oxygen content of the expired air with a Orzat gas analyzer. The energy expended during the tennis games was calculated indirectly. The caloric coefficient of oxygen was multiplied by the volume of oxygen consumed. The caloric coefficient of oxygen varied from 4.6 to 5.1 kcal/liter of oxygen. In this study the value of 5 kcal/liter of oxygen was used in the calculations. The accuracy of the measurements of energy expended was tested using regression analysis of the measured volume of oxygen. The mean values of heart rate, oxygen consumed and energy expended did not vary when the activity of serving and receiving was compared. The mean value of oxygen consumed during play was $1.4329{\pm}282ml/min$ or $21.6{\pm}4.0ml/kg/min$. The energy expended was $7.15{\pm}1.46kcal/min$ or $6.45{\pm}1.23kcal/kg/min$. The values were equivalent to 5.5 mets. When the levels of oxygen consumed were estimated using the formulas, they were found to be higher than the measured levels. The estimated amounts, however, were within 25% of the measured amounts.

Vertigo is the sensation of self-motion of the head or body when no self-motion is occurring or the sensation of distorted self-motion during an otherwise normal head movement. Representative peripheral vertigo disorders include benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Ménière disease, and vestibular neuritis. Vestibular neuritis, also known as vestibular neuronitis, is the third most common peripheral vestibular disorder after benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and Ménière disease. The cause of vestibular neuritis remains unclear. However, a viral infection of the vestibular nerve or ischemia of the anterior vestibular artery is known to cause vestibular neuritis. In addition, recent studies on immune-mediated mechanisms as the cause of vestibular neuritis have been reported. The characteristic clinical features of vestibular neuritis are abrupt true-whirling vertigo lasting for more than 24 hours, and no presence of cochlear symptoms and other neurological symptoms and signs. To accurately diagnose vestibular neuritis, various diagnostic tests such as the head impulse test, bithermal caloric test, and vestibular-evoked myogenic potential test are conducted. Various treatments for vestibular neuritis have been reported, which are largely divided into symptomatic therapy, specific drug therapy, and vestibular rehabilitation therapy. Symptomatic therapies include generalized supportive care and administration of vestibular suppressants and antiemetics. Specific drug therapies include steroid therapy, antiviral therapy, and vasodilator therapy. Vestibular rehabilitation therapies include generalized vestibular and customized vestibular exercises.

It is important to understand thermal characteristic as a method to estimate the new materials, because spontaneous ignition characterized by causing combustion in the low temperature without ignition source. If can not find out the thermal characteristics of materials, it is frequent that causes of fires could not be found. The danger level of spontaneous ignition material should be estimated and by closely studying its thermal characteristic. However, RPF(Refuse Paper & Plastic Fuel) is a solid matter and getting increasesa year by year because it is an economy profit as alternative energy for limited fossil fuels. Some time RPF occur a fire in the cases of its production process and conservation. Therefore study for thermal stability and critical ignition temperature of RPF was so imperative that the experiment by means of Bombe Calorimeter, TG-DTA, MS80, SIT-II, and Wire Basket Test was implemented. As a result, RPF had a caloric value 26.4-28.3 MJ/kg, and its initial pyrolysis temperature was $192^{\circ}C$ at heating rate 2 K/min. With the result of analysis by MS 80 which is an instrument measuring microscopic calory, pure RPF not containing water has higher caloric value than RPF containing 20% water. Also, SIT-II which is an instrument of insulated auto-ignition was ignited by $118.5^{\circ}C$. This temperature is lower than that of Wire Basket Test. The critical ignition temperature was calculated by Frank-Kamenetskii equation can cause ignition at $80^{\circ}C$ when conserved in the height of 10 m by the standard of infinity slab.

이 연구의 목적은 시각의 유도운동을 기반으로 하는 새로운 현기증 진단 방법을 제시하는데 있다. 시각의 유도운동은 주위환경이 움직임에 따라 고정된 물체도 움직이는 것처럼 느끼는 현상이다. 실험은 방음실에서 수행되었으며, 전체적인 시스템은 PC, 조이스틱, 프로젝터 그리고 스크린으로 구성되어졌다. 현기증의 크기를 정량적으로 측정하기 위하여 세 가지의 다른 주수온도(1$0^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$,3$0^{\circ}C$)를 사용하는 온도자극법에 의해 현기증이 유도되어졌다. 또한, 색의 변화에 의하여 유발되어지는 COP(center of pressure)의 변동을 찾기 위해 여섯 가지색이 유도운동에 사용되어졌다. 그 결과, 유도운동이 현기증과 높은 연관성이 있다는 것과 색의 변화가 인체의 균형에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그렇지만, 색 자체의 변화보다는 집중도와 선명도가 뛰어난 색의 조합으로 구성된 유도운동 시스템이 필요하다는 것도 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 시각의 유도운동이 현기증의 정량적인 측정에 유용함을 알 수 있었고 이 연구가 현기증 진단 시스템의 개발에 확장되어 쓰여질 수 있을 것이다.
