Recently, music therapy is widely used for various kinds of diseases. Music therapy has beneficial effects on emotional disorder and neuropsychiatric diseases in particular. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of singing on physiologic changes. We checked peripheral oxygen saturation and heart rate as indices of physiologic changes. The subjects were 19 control and 30 test group who were registered on the D welfare center for the elderly and agreed to join this study. They had been singing regularly for 6 months. The data were collected just before and after the singing. Data were analyzed with mean, t-test, and paired t-test using SPSS $PC^+$ program. The results were as follows: 1. Heart rate of the singing group decreased significantly after singing.(p<0.05) 2. Peripheral oxygen saturation of the singing group increased significantly after singing.(p<0.05) In conclusion, singing, a kind of aerobic exercise, has beneficial effects on cardiopulmonary system.

Retrostpective study of two groups of patients was conducted to evaluate the physiologic drift of the mandibular teeth following the extraction of four first premolars. The concept of physiologic drift, commonly referred to as 'driftodontics', following first premolar extractions has been gaining acceptance in the orthodontic community, the exact nature and amount of drift has not been adequately documented. There were also no guide lines as to when drift should be allowed to now. The purpose of this study was to quantify physiologic drift of the untreated mandibular dentition following extraction of the four first premolars during the early permanent and late permanent dentition stages. The early permanent dentition extraction sample(Group 1) included 26 Patients and the mean age at pretreatment was approximately 13.5 years. The observation period following extraction was approximately 6.96 months. The late permanent dentition extraction sample(Group 2) included 31 patients. The mean age at pretreatment was 21.3 years, followed by a observation period of 7.26 months. During the observation period, except for the extractions, no other mandibular therapy was rendered. Pre-and post-treatment lateral cephalograms and dental casts were analyzed. The obtained results were as follows 1. Group 2 showed marked changes in movements of the mandibular incisors and canines but minimal changes in molars. 2. The amount of changes in movements of the mandibular incisors and canines were significantly greater in Group 1 than in Group 2. The results showed no differences in rates of molar movements between groups. 3. Physiologic drift of the dentition produced desirable changes such as decreased Incisor Irregularity.

The changes in physiologic parameters by swim exercise duration were examined in five female well-trained Jeju crossbred riding horses that had riding experience of more than three years without swim training experience. The horses were performed with swim exercise for 10 min (60.0 m/min) once a day for 14 days. Physiologic characteristics and haematic parameters were measured before swimming, immediately after swimming, and after a 10 min rest at first day ($D_0$), 7 days ($D_7$), and 14 days ($D_{14}$) of training. After 14 days of swim training, heart rate (p<0.05), blood glucose (p<0.05), lactate concentration (p<0.001), packed cell volume (p<0.01), and hemoglobin (p<0.01) measured immediately after swim and after 10 min rest showed significant lower values than those of $D_0$. The results illustrate the benefits of swim training for riding horses and the need for the establishment of swimming routines of appropriate duration and intensity to maximize the advantages of swim training.

This study was evaluated the metabolic, physiologic and histologic effects of myocardial protection of verapamil[isoveratril]on isolated rat hearts to 90 minutes of ischemic arrest. Heart was perfused with a modified Kreb’s Henseleit bicarbonate buffer with glucose and arrested with retrograde coronary perfusion by glucose insulin[GI], potassium and verapamil. Mean aortic systolic pressure, heart rate, coronary flows were measured and morphologic changes were examined during working heart perfusion. Perfusion and arrest were controlled four groups subjected 60 isolated rat hearts. Four groups hearts reperfused during 40 minutes after 90 minutes global ischemia for physiologic recovery. 15 hearts of four groups were assayed to histological morphologic changes. GI treated hearts recovered less than 28% of function and changed more than 80% of mitochondria of control group. Verapamil hearts[0.2, 0.1 gm/kg] recovered more than 88% of function and permitted the maintenance of continuous cellular level of Serum Glutamic Oxalaxetate Transaminase[SGOT], but declined 28% of Phosphate Kinase[CP], GI treated heart showed widespread evidence of extensive damage of mitochondria. The damage was that interstitial huge edema are present and there was contraction band formation within the swollen cells. The verapamil and potassium group were not found morphologic change compared with control group. Their functions were shown that metabolic and physiologic action of verapamil-group lasted 20 minutes longer than potassium group.

Deciduous teeth can be extracted for two reasons, one due to the physiologic resorption and the other by the inflammation at the apex after traumatic injury. Physiologic resorption may be different from pathologic resorption in timing and mechanism. Therefore we resumed the different features of physiologic and pathologic resorption root surfaces. Many previous studies showed micromorphology of resorbed surface of roots of deciduous teeth. But, few studies compared physiological and pathological root resorption surfaces. In this study, we carefully observed microscopic morphologies of those two different root surfaces by scanning electron microscope and histologic features by light microscope. The resultant differences between physiologic and pathologic resorption surfaces of deciduous teeth were as follows: 1. The morphology of pathologic resorption lacunae due to inflammation varied in size and shape with irregular boundaries compared with the physiologic areas from scanning electron microscope observations. 2. From light microscope observations, several large resorption fossae containing numerous resorption lacunae were found, whereas the resorption lacunae were irregular in shape with pathologic resorption surface. 3. Numerous multinucleated giant cells were closely attached to the physiologic resorption lacunae, whereas several kinds of mesenchymal cells with numerous inflammatory cells were found in the areas adjacent to the pathologic resorption surface. 4. Light microscope findings showed that compensating cementum formation took place along some of the areas of inflammatory dentinal resorption. In conclusion, several morphological differences were present between physiologic and pathologic root resorption surfaces of human deciduous teeth. The future studies should include cytochemistry to clarify the cellular roles in resorption process observations of pulpal surfaces of coronal and radicular dentin to and the changes that occur in each phase of human deciduous tooth resorption.

The author studied the changes of muscle activity with Bioelectric processor Model EM2(Myotronics Corp., USA) before and after occlusal stabilization splint therapy. For this study, 15 temporomandibular disorders patients and 15 students without any temporomandibular disorders symptoms were selected, for experimental group and control group, respectively. Experimental group were treated with occlusal stabilization splint and checked about electromyographic activity before and after therapy. Electromyographic levels were measured in both groups at the following mandibular position, i.e., physiologic rest, tapping, light biting, hard open without pain, open with pain, right excursion and ipsilateral biting, left excursion and ipsilateral biting, protrusion, protrusive biting, edge biting and physiologic rest after movement. The obtained results were as follows : 1. In experimental group, post-treatment mean values of muscle activity were lower than pretreatment values. 2. In general, the pre-treatment mean values of muscle activity in experimental group were higher than those of control group. 3. In experimental group, no statistically significant difference appeared between affected and unaffected side. 4. The mean value of muscle activity in physiologic rest position after each movement check was lower than that before each movement check.

The purpose of this study was to study clinical characteristics of patients complained of tremor and to evaluate availability of oriental medical treatment. This observation was made on 36 cases that were hospitalized in the Semyung University Oriental Medicine Hospital and evaluated tremor using clinical rating tremor scale(CRTS). The ratio of patients were essential tremor(50%), parkinson's disease(13.9%), psychogenic tremor(13.9%), physiologic tremor(11.1%), cerebellar tremor(11.1%). CRTS score of essential tremor patients decreased significantly. Physiologic tremor patients's CRTS score were under 15 points. Every patient's scores decreased. Two patients's score decreased to 0 point. Every patient were treated with Bojungikki-tang-gamibang. CRTS scores of psychogenic tremor patients were various.(4~24 points) Two patients's scores decreased to 0 point. The CRTS scores of three cases among four patients with cerebellar tremor were not changed. Changes of CRTS score between oriental medication group and western-oriental combined medication group were statistically significant. Changes of CRTS score between over 15 points group and under 15 points group were statistically significant. Kejigayongolmoryo-tang was one of the most widely used herbal medication, which was diagnosed as ascendant hyperactivity of liver yang.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of Pericardium Kimek (K9) and Nei-Guan (P6) acupressure on relief of the anxiety, nausea, retching and physiologic changes (oxygen saturation, blood pressure, heart rate, temperature and respiration) in the patients undergoing unsedated esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was used. The participants were assigned into the listed three groups, i.e., the control group, the first experimental group (E1: K9 acupressure group) and the second experimental group (E2: P6 acupressure group). A total of 60 participants were included for analysis. Results: The severity of nausea (F=3.503, p=.037), the oxygen saturation (F=5.417, p=.007). and the respiration rate (F=7.270, p=.002) showed statistically significant differences in three groups. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, K9 acupressure with moxa pellets and P6 acupressure with wristbands (Sea-Band) are considered to be safe and an easy-to-apply intervention to relieve nausea and maintain the level of oxygen saturation and respiration rate in patients undergone unsedated esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
