본 연구는 교근비대의 중요한 기여요인으로 간주되는 이갈이의 영향을 평가하기 위해 이갈이 습관의 유무에 따른 BTX-A 주사후의 임상적 변화를 조사하였다. 실험을 위해 양측성 교근비대를 가진 지원자 중, 야간 이갈이 습관을 가지고 있는 지원자 5명과 이갈이 습관이 없는 지원자 5명을 선택하여 BTX-A(Allergen Inc., $Botox^{(R)}$)를 25 unit씩을 양측 교근에 각각 주사하였다. BTX-A의 교근주사 후에 나타나는 변화를 평가하기 위하여 주사 전과 주사 후 2주, 4주, 8주, 3개월, 6개월 9개월에 각각 검사를 시행하여 초음파를 이용한 전측두근과 교근의 두께 측정, 전치부와 구치부의 최대교합력 측정, 교합력의 변화에 대한 주관적 평가를 비교하였다. 교근에 BTX-A를 주사한 후에 이갈이군과 비이갈이군 모두 초음파검사에서 교근의 두께가 감소되어 3개월 정도에 가장 현저한 위축 소견을 보였으며 이후 점차 회복되어가는 양상을 보였다(p<0.001). 비이갈이군과 비교하였을 때 이갈이군에서 교근두께의 회복이 더 현저하였으나, 주사 후 9개월에도 치료전과 비교했을 때는 여전히 근위축이 관찰되었다. 구치부 최대교합력도 교근두께 변화와 유사한 양상을 보였다. 전측두근과 전치부 최대 교합력은 주사 후 시간경과에 따른 변화를 보여 주지 않았다(p>0.05). 피검자가 스스로 느끼는 교합력은 주사 2주 후에 가장 저하되었다가 점차 빠르게 회복되어 6개월에서 9개월 사이 이전의 상태로 회복한 반면 교합력측 정기로 측정한 구치부 최대교합력의 상대적 변화는 최대교합력이 원래의 상태로 회복되지 못했음을 보여주었다. BTX-A 주사로 인한 상대적인 구치부 최대교합력의 저하는 비이갈이군에서 더욱 현저하게 관찰되었다. 이 실험의 결과는 이갈이는 BTX-A 주사 후에 발생한 교근 위축과 교합력 감소가 원상태로 회복되는 과정에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 보여준다. 그러므로 이갈이 등의 이상기능 습관을 가진 교근비대 환자의 BTX-A 주사효과를 보다 오래 유지하기 위해서 주사와 함께 습관조절을 위한 교합장치의 사용을 고려할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to present specific criteria for setting goals for hand rehabilitation by comparing the degree of difference in grip force, coordination, and dexterity between the dominant and non-dominant hand according to gender. Methods: We recruited 100 healthy adults in their 20s and 30s. A handheld digital dynamometer was used to evaluate the grip force of each of the dominant and non-dominant hand, a chopsticks manipulation test was used to evaluate coordination, and the Purdue Pegboard test was used to evaluate agility. Results: In all subjects, the grip force, coordination, and dexterity showed statistically significant difference (p <0.01) between the dominant and non-dominant hand. In the comparison according to gender, both male and female dominant and non-dominant hands showed statistically significant differences in grip force, coordination, and dexterity (p <0.01). In the comparison according to grip force, there was a statistically significant difference between the dominant and non-dominant hand, and men showed stronger result values in both hands compared to women (p <0.01). In the comparison according to coordination, there was no statistically significant difference between the dominant and non-dominant hand in men and women (p >0.05). In the comparison according to dexterity, there was a statistically significant difference between the dominant and non-dominant hand, and women were shown to be faster in performance time with both hands, compared to men (p <0.01). Conclusion: Differences according to gender exist in grip force and dexterity but not coordination, and differences between dominant and non-dominant hand exists across all measurements. The results suggest setting a recovery goal according to dominance and gender during rehabilitation of hand function.

The purpose of this study was to calculate three dimensional angular displacements, moments and joint reaction forces of the ankle joint during the waist pulling, and to assess the ankle joint reaction forces according to different perturbation modes and different levels of perturbation magnitude. Ankle joint model was assumed 3-D ball and socket joint which is capable of three rotational movements. We used 6 cameras, force plate and waist pulling system. Two different waist pulling systems were adopted for forward sway with three magnitudes each. From motion data and ground reaction forces, we could calculate 3-D angular displacements, moments and joint reaction forces during the recovery of postural balance control. From the experiment using falling mass perturbation, joint moments were larger than those from the experiment using air cylinder pulling system with milder perturbation. However, JRF were similar nevertheless the difference in joint moment. From this finding, we could conjecture that the human body employs different strategies to protect joints by decreasing joint reaction forces, like using the joint movement of flexion or extension or compensating joint reaction force with surrounding soft tissues. Therefore, biomechanical analysis of human ankle joint presented in this study is considered useful for understanding balance control and ankle injury mechanism.

BSSRO is most frequently operated among orthognathic surgery techniques for repairment of maxillofacial deformities. In case of patients with maxillofacial asymmetry accompanying mandibular protrusion who are operated by BSSRO, this study considers the recovering time for masticatory force of each tooth and Masseteric EMG and the adequate time enabling normal occlusion. The patients who are operated with BSSRO under general anesthesia in Dankook Dental Hospital, Department of OMS are selected for this study. The control group is devided into 2. 26 patients with facial asymmetry accompanying mandibular protrusion are selected for group 1 and their maximum voluntary bite force and masseteric EMG are measured. Group 2 is formed by volunteers with healthy dentition who are measured maximum bite force and masseteric EMG on both sides of the mouth. At the week of 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th, Mann-Whitney U test is carried on for statistical analysis and the result is as follows. 1. Patients with mandibular protrusion showed apparently low maximum bite force and masseteric EMG than patients with normal occlusion. 2. In comparison with control group 1, Occlusal force is regained in incisors and canines at the 9th week and in premolars and molars, 11th week and masseteric EMG is regained at 11th week. 3. Comparing to normal occlusal patients, no recovery could be found in experimental group in every parts of the mouth.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to observe the dose-dependent effects of bee venom (BV) pharmacopuncture on the serious ankle sprain in rats. Methods : The grade III ankle sprain was produced by surgically damaging the lateral ligaments complex of Sprague-Dawley rats. BV pharmacopuncture with the different doses($5{\mu}g/kg$, $10{\mu}g/kg$, $50{\mu}g/kg$) were treated on the different acupoints(GB34, GB39 and GB42) of the affected hind limb, respectively. By measuring foot weight bearing force ratio(FWBFR), the pain levels by ankle sprain and the pain recovery for 7 days were observed under BV pharmacopuncture on each acupoint. Results : In the normal and ankle sprained rat, the BV single administration decreased FWBFR in a dose - dependent pattern. The higher the BV dose, the higher the pain resulted in the normal and the sprained ankles. Especially, the dose - dependent effects of BV resulted in the most pronounced decrease in FWBFR in GB34. The recovery of FWBFR was shown at the low dose($5{\mu}g/kg$) BV and the effect was most remarkable in the BV of GB34, but the others showed no recovery effect compared with the control group. Conclusions : BV pharmacopuncture does not exhibit analgesic effects in acute phase of ankle sprain. However, the recovery of ankle sprain was more effective than the natural recovery in the case of low dose of BV repeated over time. Considering this, it is presumed that it would be important to select appropriate clinic guidelines for acute phase of ankle sprain.

데이타베이스 공유 시스템(DSS)은 고성능 트랜잭션 처리를 위하여 여러 개의 처리 노드를 연결한 구조로서, 각 노드는 데이타베이스를 저장한 디스크를 공유한다. DSS를 구성하는 노드들이 고장날 경우 데이타베이스를 정확한 상태로 복구하기 위한 회복 과정이 필요한데 DSS에서 회복 작업은 하나의 노드로 구성된 일반적인 데이타베이스 시스템보다 많은 시간이 소요된다. 그 이유는 데이타베이스를 회복하기 위해 여러 노드에 나누어 저장된 로그들을 병합하여야 하며, 병합된 로그들을 이용하여 REDO 작업을 수행하여야 하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 Oracle 9i Real Application Cluster (ORAC)에서 제안된 캐쉬 연합 알고리즘의 성능을 개선한 2VC(Two Version Caching) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 2VC는 단일 노드 고장에 대한 회복 작업에서 로그 병합 과정을 생략할 수 있으므로 빠른 데이타베이스 회복을 지원할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 뿐만 아니라, ORAC에서 발생하는 불필요한 디스크 기록 오버헤드를 줄임으로써 정상적인 트랜잭션 처리의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the age-related ability of dynamic balance recovery through perturbation response during standing. Method: Six older and 6 younger adults participated in this study. External perturbation during standing as pulling force applied at the pelvic level in the anterior direction was provided to the subject. The margin of stability was quantified as a measure of postural stability or dynamic balance recovery, and using principal component analysis (PCA), the regularity of the margin of stability (MoS) was calculated. Results: Our results showed that in the older adult group, 60.99% and 28.63% of the total variance were captured using the first and second principal components (PCs), respectively, and in the younger adult group, 81.95% and 10.71% of the total variance were captured using the first and second PCs, respectively. Conclusion: Ninety percent of the total variance captured using the first two PCs indicates that the older adults had decreased regularity of the MoS than the younger adults. Thus, the results of the present study suggest that aging is associated with non-regularity of dynamic postural stability.

For towing the new type armored vehicle and maintaining the close support, the armored recovery vehicle(ARV) with winch and crane has been developed. In case of crane, it is mainly used to salvage heavy objects by rotational and vertical motion. Especially, the crane bracket is very important parts due to fixing the ARV's body and rotary joint and preventing the force rotation of crane. Therefore, the crane bracket needs to have an enough strength to endure the high load and it is very important to analyze the stress distribution under loads. In the present work, the experimental and analytical investigation on structural integrity evaluation of crane bracket were carried out. The simulation of three-dimensional finite element method(FEM) was compared with experimental datum. From the numerical results, the FEM simulations corresponded well with th experimental results and the structural safety was confirmed by safety factor.

In this paper, we studied the structural design for safety improvement of the winch mount of the armored recovery vehicle. From the finite element analysis using the safety factor of the original winch mount, the results determined that the safety factor was very low, namely 1.14 at $-15^{\circ}$ when towing the maximum force. For considering the usage and safety, the safety factor needs to increase to between 1.4 and 1.6. To improve the safety factor, a re-design, such as shape modification and strengthening the welded zone, was performed. After the improvement of the structural design, the safety factor of the improved mount was calculated at 1.78, an increase of about 56.1% from that of the original mount.

In this work, the effect of fusible interlining on the appearance related properties and mechanical characteristics of Lyocell fabric after fusing was investigated. Two different types(20's and 10's) of Lyocell face fabric with six different interlining(by thickness and structure) for earth Lyocell fabric were examined. In order to establish the optimum fusing condition for the different face fabric and interlining, peel strength of each fused fabric was measured, which was dependent on the fusing temperature, pressure, and time. The characteristics related appearance and mechanical characteristics of each fused fabric were determined. The results are as follows: The peel strength was excellent, when the fabric was fused with the force of 3kgf/$textrm{cm}^2$ at $120^{\circ}C$ for 15seconds. Flex stiffness, G, 2HG, 2HG5(shear), B, 2HB(bending) of 100% Lyocell fabric 10's were higher than those of 100% Lyocell 20's. Flex stiffness, crease recovery, G, 2HG, B, 2HB of thicker woven interlining were higher than those of thinner woven interlining. Crease recovery of twill interlining were higher than those of plain interlining. In case of shear and bending properties, however, plain interlining was higher than twill interlining. Flex stiffness, crease recovery, G, 2HG, 2HG5, B, 2HB of nonwoven interlining were higher than those of woven interlining. In case of drapability, however, woven interlining was higher than nonwoven interlining.
