뇌졸중이라고 진단된 입원 환자 26명을 대상으로 3일동안 섭취한 식이와 24시간 뇨와 혈액을 수집하고 혈압을 측정하여 나트륨, 칼륨, 캄슘, 마그네슘의섭취 수준에 다른 뇨중 배설량과 혈중 수준을 관찰하고 이들과 혈압과의 관계를 알아봄으로써 뇌졸중 환자를 포함한 고혈압 관리의 치료식이를 제공하는데 기초자료로 사용하고자 실시간 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 대상자들의 평균 연령은 남녀 각각 52.6세, 58.5세였으며 평균 BMU는 남녀 각각 21.6, 22.4였다. 입원 당시 평균 혈압은 남녀 각각 147.3/90.9mmHg, 162.7/102.0mmHg였고, 실험 종료일의 평균 혈압은 남자의 경운 124.6/80.8mmHg 였고 여자 대상자는 137.7/91.3mmHg 였다. 2. 1일 평균 나트륨, 칼륨, 칼슘, 마그네슘의 섭취 향은 96.7$\pm$30.7mEq,64.8$\pm$19.0mEq, 431.3$\pm$227.1mg, 333.9$\pm$145.9mg이었다. 3. 1일 평균 뇨중 나트륨, 칼륨, 칼슘, 마그네슘의 배설량은 76.7$\pm$28.2mEq, 33.9$\pm$16.6mEq, 65.6$\pm$34.0mg, 96.5$\pm$58.0mg이었다. 4. 평균 혈청내 나트륨, 칼륨, 칼슘, 마그네슘의 함량은 137.8$\pm$4.3mEq/l, 3.7$\pm$0.5mEq/l, 7.6$\pm$0.8mg/dl, 2.2$\pm$0.2mg/dl로써 칼슘 농도가 정상수준에 비해 비교적 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 5. 혈압과 무기질과의 관계에서 수축시 혈압의 증가시 뇨중 칼륨 배설이 증가함으로써 수축기 혈압과 뇨중 칼륨 배설량 사이에 유의적인 부의 상관관계가 나타났다. (p<0.05). 이상과 같은 입원중인 뇌졸중 환자의 뇨중 나트륨과 칼륨의 배설률 및 혈청과 뇨중 칼슘 배설수준이 정상인 보다 낮은 수준이었으며, 칼륨은 뇌졸중 환자의 혈압관리에 효과적이 무기질로 작용할 가능성이 보여지므로 고혈압관리를 위한 식사 처방시 이들 무기질에 대한 고려가 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Oriental medicine prescription has been used for the treatment of various clinical symptoms associated with cerebral apoplexy. However, single herb drug does not used cerebral apoplexy and there mechanisms of action have not been defined, and it is not yet known what effects they have on the hemodynamics of cerebral circulation. The study was aimed to investigate the effect batryticatus bombycis(BB) on the vascular systems including changes in blood pressure (BP), and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and of male Sprague-Dawely rats. The changes in rCBF were determinated by laser-Doppler flowmetry. 1. Blood pressure was not affected by BB in rats. 2. rCBF was increased by BB in a dose-dependent manner. 3. Pretreatment with methylene blue(1mg/kg), and propranolol(1mg/kg) did not inhibited BB induced increased in rCBF. 4. Pretreatment with propranolol(1mg/kg) was increased by BB in a dose-dependent manner in blood perssure. 5. Pretreatment with ODQ($10{\mu}g/kg$) and L-NNA(1mg/kg) were inhibited BB induced increased in rCBF. 6. Pretreatment with L-NNA(1mg/kg) was increased rCBF in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that BB causes a diverse response of blood pressure and regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF). The increased in rCBF is also mediated by nitric oxide synthease and guanylate cyclase.

The purpose of this study was to investigate donning and doffing independence of the disabled individuals. The subjects of this study were who had kinetic disabilities on upper-limbs. 31 women and 38 children were participated in the survey. They were classified with six groups according to their upper-limbs' kinetic ability levels. Three upper-limbs' kinetic abilities were adopted: Lifting arms up to the chest, twisting shoulder to throw arms toward the back, and buttoning clothes by oneself. The independency of donning and doffing of 14 upper-body garment styles were evaluated by subjects. The donning and doffing independency of 14 garment styles was significantly differentiated by the level of kinetic abilities and garment styles. The person who able to button clothes by oneself could don and doff clothes by oneself. The results also revealed that the independency of donning and doffing was significantly different between cerebral palsy and apoplexy groups. The persons having a stroke of apoplexy were more likely to be able to dress independently than the persons with cerebral palsy. The persons with a paralysed arm were more likely able to wear ready-to-wear clothes of various styles. The donning and doffing independency was also significantly differentiated by the styles of garments. The tight fit style garments were more difficult to be dressed independently than the loose fit style garments. The jacket and shirts, which were buttoned from neck to bottom, were more difficult to be dressed independently than T-shirts.

HooBakIp is one of the Korean crude drugs used mainly to cure a headache, apoplexy and dyspepsia. With regard to the botanical origin of HooBakIp, it has been considered to the Machilus thunbergii of Lauraceae in Korea. But there has no pharmacognostical conformation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of HooBakIp, the anatomical characteristics of the leaf of Machilus thunbergii, Machilus thunbergii var. obovata and Machilus japonica were studied. As a result, it was clarified that HooBakIp from Korea was the leaf of Machilus thunbergii.

The purpose of this study is to develope a computer mouse using the head movements and eye blink in order to help the disability persons who can't move the hands or foot because of car accident or cerebral apoplexy. The mouse is composed of two gyro-sensors and photo sensor. The gryo-sensors detect the head horizontal and vertical angular velocities, respectively. The photo sensor detect the eye blink to perform click, double click, and to reset the head position. In the results, we could control the mouse points in real time using the proposed system.

Velopharyngeal function refers to the combined activity of the soft palate and pharynx in closing and opening the velopharyngeal port to the required degree. In normal speech, various muscles of palate & pharynx function as sphincter and occlude the oropharynx from the nasopharynx during the production of oral consonant sounds. Inadequate velopharyngeal function caused by neurologic disorder - cerebral apoplexy, regressive diseases - disseminated sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, congenital deformity - cleft palate, cerebral palsy and etc. may result in abnormal speech characterized by hypernasality, nasal emission and decreased intelligibility of speech due to weak consonant production. In our study, we constructed speech aids prosthesis - Palatal lift in acquired idiophathic VPI patient and assessed velopharyngeal function with various diagnostic instruments which can evaluate the speech characteristics objectively.

Aconites distribute widely in northern hemispere of the earth reaching to arctic zone from warm and temperate one. Chinese crude drug 'Cho O'(草烏) has been used as a remedy for apoplexy, dyspepsia, neuralgia, chronic rheumatis etc. Though the botanical origin of the crude drug has been considered to be Aconitum species of Ranunculaceae, there has been no confirmation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of Cho O, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the roots of Aconitum species growing in Korea, i.e. A. chiisanense, A. ciliare, A. jaluense, A. napiforme, A. proliferum, A. pseudoproliferum and A. triphyllum were studied. As the result, Cho O was proved to be the roots of Aconitum triphyllum, A. jaluense, A. chiisanense and A. napiforme.

Man Kyung Dan(萬經丹) is a Chinese patent medicine which has been used for rheumatic neuralgia, apoplexy, extremitas neurolepsis in Korea. It consists of 16 kinds of powdered crude drugs. In powered crude drugs, it is hard to identify each component by chemical analysis or morphological examination. However, the method of identification of powdered crude drugs has not been clearly established. For the identification of individual crude drugs in such powdery mixtures, microscopic method may advantageously be used, as it requires only small amount of specimens. In this study, it is demonstrated that the microscopic method is very effective for the identification of 16 crude drug ingredients in Man kyung Dan.
