  • 본 연구는 사람의 뇌에 대한 자기공명영상에서 백질과 회백질을 분리하고 각각의 체적을 산출하기 위한 것이다. 일반적으로 치매나 다운증후군 같은 정신질환의 경우 백질 또는 회백질의 위축으로 인해 체적이 감소하게 되므로, 사람의 뇌에 대하여 백질과 회백질의 체적 산출을 통한 크기의 변화를 추적함으로서 여러 정신질환의 진단 및 조기 발견에 유용하게 이용될 수 있다. 그러나 일정한 두께의 단면을 촬영하여 단일의 명암 값으로 표현하는 자기공명영상기기의 특성상 번짐 현상을 보이는 자기공명영상으로부터 원래의 두께 안에 존재하는 각 성분의 부분체적을 산출할 수 없음으로 인해 백질과 회백질의 체적산출이 현재까지 불가능하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 번짐(blurred)을 보이는 자기공명영상에서 번진 명암 값을 해석하는 새로운 알고리즘에 의해 백질과 회백질의 부분체적을 산출하고, 이를 근거로 자기공명영상에서 백질과 회백질을 분리하기 위한 판별값을 결정하였으며, 결정된 판별값에 의해 분리된 영상에서 백질과 회백질의 체적을 산출하였다. 또한 제안된 알고리즘의 검증을 위해 인위적으로 생성된 모델에 알고리즘을 적용하여 산출된 결과를 원래의 모델과 비교하여 보았다.

  • The objective of this study was to identify the effects of the cognitive performance of stroke patients on their motor function recovery after comprehensive rehabilitation management. The subjects of this study were 41 stroke in-patients of the Rehabilitation Hospital, College of Medicine, Yonsei University, hospitalized during the period from September 1, 1997 to May 5, 1998. The cognitive performance was measured using a Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE) and the motor function recovery using Motor Assessment Scale(MAS). The data were analyzed by the paired t-test, independent t-test, a one way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficiency. The findings were as follows: 1. There was a significant difference found in the motor function recovery level after the comprehensive rehabilitation management. 2. There was no significant difference found in relation to sex, age, cause of stroke, laterality of paralysis and the level of spasticity. However, there was a big difference between pre- and post-treatment regarding the treatment period. 3. In line with the cognitive performance level, there was a significant difference found in the motor function recovery level after the comprehensive rehabilitation management. 4. The correlation between the elements of the cognitive performance and the motor recovery was found to be high in orientation, attention, calculation, and language. Those elements were expected to give larger effects on motor recovery after the comprehensive rehabilitation management. Based on this study, the cognitive performance level was found to play an important role in bringing effects on motor recovery after the comprehensive rehabilitation management of stroke patients. And the evaluation on the motor recovery based on quality would be also expected to be examined, as well as the cognitive performance level test accompanied by Intelligence Quality(IQ) test.

  • 최근 건강관리에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 건강상태를 모니터링 하기 위한 스마트 웨어러블 디바이스가 활용되어 오고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스마트 웨어러블 디바이스와 연동된 피로도 측정 시스템을 개발하였다. 충분히 휴식을 취하면 회복되는 신체적인 피로도와는 달리 정신적인 피로도는 일의 능률이나 집중력을 떨어트릴 수 있으므로 측정을 통해 정신 건강 상태를 모니터링 할 수 있다. 본 시스템은 스마트 웨어러블 디바이스에서 계측한 데이터를 스마트폰으로 전송하고 정신적인 피로도를 계산해주는 기능을 제공한다. 피로도를 측정하기 위한 피로도 인덱스를 개발하여 1부터 5까지의 수치로 표현하였다. 또한 피로도 계산 결과와 설문조사 결과와 비교하여 독립표본 t-검정을 실시한 결과 통계적으로 유의한 값이 나왔다. 본 시스템은 사용자들이 건강을 효율적으로 관리하는 데에 활용될 것이다.

  • Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of perceived stress on cognition in the community elderly. Methods: This was a descriptive study. Data were collected using individual-based interviews from 40 senior residents at the hall for the elderly in S City. The period of data collection was from June 19 to July 7, 2006. The tools of data collection were Mini-Mental State Examination (Folstein, Folstein, & McHugh, 1975) and Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983). Results: Cognition showed significant differences according to gender education, and regular exercise. Cognition was significantly correlated to stress and age. Stress was significantly correlated to orientation, recall, and attention/calculation. In the results of stepwise multiple regression, factors affecting cognition were stress, age, and gender. Conclusion: It is necessary to prepare health promotion programs that can reduce stress level in the community elderly.

  • To quantify a mental workload for office workers, nine element tasks were classified for office work. There were oral comprehension, written comprehension, oral expression, written expression, calculation, memorization, thinking, and classification materials. Among nine element tasks, oral comprehension, written comprehension, written expression, and thinking were selected and the degrees of conflicts between concurrently performed element tasks were measured and analyzed through the experiment. The measures were performance and subjective rating. The results were as follows. The written comprehension- written expression pair was showed the highest conflict value in terms of performance and subjective rating. The written comprehension-thinking pair was the lowest conflict value in terms of performance, while the oral comprehension-thinking pair was the lowest condlict value in terms of performance, while the oral comprehension- written expression pair was the lowest conflict value in terms of subjective rating. The findings are expected to be used for assessing workload for the office work.

  • This paper investigates what informal knowledge and strategies fifth-grade students brought to a classroom and how much they had potential to solve fraction division story problems. The findings show that most of the participants were engaged to understand the meaning of fraction division prior to their formal instruction at school. In order to solve the story problems, the informal knowledge related to fractions as well as division was actively utilized in student's strategies and justification. Students also used various informal strategies from mental calculation, direct modeling, to relational thinking. Formal instructions about fraction division at schools can be facilitated for sense-making of this complex fraction division conception by unpacking informal knowledge and thinking they might bring to the classrooms.

  • Objectives:Donepezil is a widely used drug for the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD). The aim of the present study was to clarify the efficacy and the characteristics of responders to donepezil. Methods:Patients with probable AD(n=80;75.7 years) and small vessel dementia(SVD)(n=18;77.8 years) who received donepezil were retrospectively analyzed using Alzheimer's registry, and three questions were asked:1) Does donepezil therapy improves cognitive symptoms in patients with dementia? 2) If donepezil improves cognitive symptoms, which items of the K-MMSE are improved? 3) What are the characteristics of responder to donepezil medication? Results:1) After donepezil medication, cognitive function measured by the K-MMSE was significantly improved in both types of dementia(AD and SVD), However, statistical differences were not found between these groups. 2) In a clinical trial of donepezil, the patients performed better than before mediation on K-MMSE items assessing orientation, recall, construction, concentration, calculation. 3) In AD, the K-MMSE score before medication was closely related with response of donepezil. Conclusion:This study suggests that donepezil improves various cognitive functions in both types of dementia, and the responsive group had significantly lower K-MMSE scores than the non-responsive group before medication.
