Purpose : There is no validated method for measuring the toe flexor strength that can isolate the intrinsic muscles of the foot from the extrinsic muscles. This study compared the hallux flexion force (HFF) and muscle activity in the foot and ankle according to ankle position [plantarflexion (PF), neutral, and dorsiflexion (DF)]. Method : The study enrolled 17 subjects. In the sitting position, the HFF and activities of the abductor hallucis (AbdH), tibialis anterior (TA), and gastrocnemius (GCM) muscles were measured using a digital dynamometer and a wireless electromyography system, respectively. Subjects were instructed to flex the great toe maximally in three different ankle positions. Three 5-second trials were performed to measure the HFF and muscle activities in each condition. Repeated-measures ANOVA was used to compare the variables and paired t-tests with the Bonferroni correction were used for post-hoc pair-wise comparisons. The significance level was set at .016. Result : The HFF in DF was significantly greater than in any other ankle position (p<.01). The TA activity was greatest in ankle DF and that of the GCM was greatest in PF (both p<.01). However, there was no significant difference in AbdH activity according to ankle position. Conclusion : These results suggest that selective strength measurement of the foot intrinsic muscles in HFF should be performed with the ankle in the neutral position.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the impact of previous delivery mode on pregnancy outcomes in patients with secondary infertility after frozen-thawed embryo transfer. Methods: This prospective observational study included 140 patients experiencing secondary infertility. Of these, 70 patients had a previous cesarean delivery (CD), while the remaining 70 patients had a previous normal vaginal delivery (NVD). The primary outcome was the implantation rate. The secondary outcomes included rates of clinical pregnancy, chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy. Results: The comparison of all fertility outcomes between the two groups revealed no statistically significant differences. The implantation rate was 40.4% in the CD group and 41.7% in the NVD group (p=0.842). The clinical pregnancy rate was 50% in the CD group and 49.3% in the NVD group (p=0.932), while the chemical pregnancy rate was 14.6% in the CD group and 19% in the NVD group (p=0.591). The miscarriage rates in the CD and NVD groups were 20% and 17.6%, respectively (p=0.803). One case of tubal ectopic pregnancy occurred in the NVD group (1.4%). Conclusion: The mode of prior delivery did not significantly impact pregnancy outcomes following frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

목적: 견관절의 운동 기능에 대한 평가는 견관절 질환의 진단 및 경과를 파악하는 데 있어 중요하다. 본 연구는 정상군 및 견관절질환을 가진 환자군에 대해 깊이 센서 기반 동작 분석 시스템을 통한 관절 운동을 동적으로 분석하여 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 대상 및 방법: 70명의 피험자가 연구에 참여하였으며 정상군 30명과 견관절 질환을 가진 환자 40명으로 분류하였다. 견관절 질환을 가진 환자 40명은 4가지 질환(회전근개 파열, 유착성 활액막염, 충돌 증후군, 회전근개 관절병증)으로 세분화하였다. 총 3회 반복된 외전 및 내전 운동 시 시간에 따른 각도를 깊이 센서 기반 동작 분석 시스템으로 측정하였으며, 최대 외전 각도, 최대 외전 각 속도, 최대 내전 각속도, 외전/내전 시간 비를 계산하였다. 상기 매개 변수들에 대해 정상군 30명과 환자군 40명을 비교하는 한편, 정상군 30명과 4가지 질환군별 10명, 총 5개 군을 비교하였다. 결과: 견관절 질환을 가진 환자군에서는 정상군에 비해 감소된 최대 외전 각도(θ_max), 최대 외전 각속도(ω_max), 최대 내전 각속도(ω_min)를 보였으며, 증가된 외전/내전 시간 비(t_abd/t_add)를 보였다. 세분화된 질환군별 비교에서는 최대 외전 각도(θ_max)와 최대 외전각속도(ω_max)가 정상군에 비해 유착성 활액막염 환자군 및 회전근개 관절병증 환자군에서 감소되었고, 외전/내전 시간 비(t_abd/t_add)가 정상군에 비해 유착성 활액막염 환자군, 회전근개 파열 환자군 및 회전근개 관절병증 환자군에서 증가되었다. 결론: 깊이 센서 기반 동작 분석 시스템을 사용한 견관절의 운동 분석을 통해 관절 운동 범위뿐 아니라 각속도 등의 동적 운동 변수를 측정할 수 있었으며, 이를 통해 견관절의 더 정확한 기능 평가 및 심도 있는 질환의 이해가 가능할 것이다.

The aim of this study was to compare periodontal conditions around mesially tipped molars by a tipping degree. Patients who had been consecutively treated at the Department of Periodontology, Chonbuk National University Hospital from October 1999 to August 2001 were assessed with radiographs taken at their molar regions. Of all molars investigated, 142 molars of 116 patients tipped mesially more than 10 degrees to the line perpendicular to an occlusal plane were selected for the study. The tipped molars were divided into 2 groups with a reference to a tipping degree, i.e., 66 slightly tipped(group 1 : <$30^{\circ}$) and 76 severely tipped molars (group 2 : ${\geq}30^{\circ}$). Probing depth(PD), plaque retention index(PRI) at mesial surfaces of tipped molars and tooth mobility(TM) were recorded at the clinical examination. Tipping degree(TD) and alveolar bony defect(ABD) at the mesial surface of the molars were measured in a radiograph. The results showed that no statistical differences were found between groups in all measured variables. In Pearson correlation analysis performed in the same group, a positive relationship was shown between PRI and PD in the group 1 and, in the group 2, between PRI and PD as well as PRI and ABD(p < 0.01). However, no statistically significant relationship was found between TD and all other variables in both groups. Within limitations of this study, it may be concluded that tipping degree did not seem to influence periodontal conditions, i.e., PD, ABD and TM of mesially tipped molars per se, but plaque presence/absence seemed to mainly affect the periodontal conditions of the tipped molars.

Inhibiting action of semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide, sym. diphenylcarbazide towards corrosion of zinc in hydrochloric acid has been investigated. The rate of corrosion depends on the nature of the inhibitor and its concentration. The values of inhibition efficiency from, weight loss, thermometric measurements are in good agreement with those obtained from polarization studies. From the polarization studies, the inhibitors used act as mixed absorption type inhibitors, increased adsorption resulting from an increase in the electron density at the reactive C=S and C=O groups and N-atoms. The thermodynamic parameters of adsorption obtained using Bockris-Swinkels adsorption isotherm reveal a strong interaction of these carbazides on zinc surface.

Caves abd the life they contain face constant pressure from a worldw demand for cement. hydro-electric power and land for building a agriculture. The 8th International Congress of Speleology held in Kentu two years ago passed a resolution on behalf of the IUCN "Cave Speci Group" which called for "...biological surveys of threatened caves. mos in the tropics, and ecological studies to solve specific managem provlems on the causes of endangerment and how these can be remov or mitigated". This final article in the "Cave Life" series explains the n for an ecological approach to cavelife conservation.

Fuzzy controller is one of the succeed controller used in the process control in case of model uncertainties. But it my be difficult to fuzzy controller to articulate the accumulated knowledge to encompass all circumstance. Hence, it is essential to provide a tuning capability. There are many parameters in fuzzy controller can be adapted, scale factor tuning of normalized fuzzy controller is one of the adaptation parameter. Two adaptation methods are implemented in this work on an experimental thermal process, which simulate heating process in liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) recovery process in one of petrochemical industries: Gradient decent (GD) adaptation method; supervisory fuzzy controller. A comparison between the two methods is discussed.

A convenient method for the preparation of imidazobenzimidazole 3, imidazoimidazole 5, imidazotriazole 6 and pyrano [2, 3-c] oxazole 7 derivatives is described. This depends on interaction of 2-methyl-4-arylidene-2-oxazolin-5-ones 1 with o-diamines, thiosemicarbazide and/or ethylcyanoacetate. The effect of alcoholic potassium cyanide on axazolinone 1 was studied. Antibacterial activity of the obtained products was studied.

The electrical conductivity of the complexes of $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ with o-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide was measured between 300 and 500 K. It was observed that the conductivity is dependent upon both the cations and anions of the reacted salts. The prepared complexes exhibit typical semiconducting behaviour.
