The aim of this study was to use a 3D human body scanner to analyze the cross section of different body parts when a girdle is worn. Two types of girdles were selected as experimental garments: a standard type girdle (Garment A) and a high-waist type girdle (Garment B). Their sizes were 88 (S) and 94 (M). Ten female subjects in their twenties who wear girdles sizes 88 (S) and 94 (M) participated the experiment. Their bodies were scanned three times with the 3D human body scanner, before and after wearing experimental girdles. The data were collected by overlapping the cross sections of the 3D scanned body shape data. The space length was measured from the overlapped cross sections. The results show that human body silhouette are changed after wearing the compression type garments and the amount and place of the body change is different by style of garments. First, the waist girth shape became rounder. Second, there was a definite difference in space amount at abdomen girth between two types of girdle. The abdomen area was pushed toward the front after wearing the standard type girdle (A). The high-waist type girdle (B) pushed abdomen area toward the back. Third, there was clear difference at the hip area after wearing two types of girdle. The hip area pushed toward the front with the standard type girdle (A) and pushed toward the back with the high-waist type girdle (B).

This work aims at analyzing the comparative feature about female flight attendant uniform designs of Korean and Asian region low cost carriers and providing some basic materials for development of these airline companies. As a research method, examinations were carried out on attendant's uniform both theoretically and empirically. Comparison of uniforms was made among the five Korean carriers and ten typical Asian carriers for empirical research. Results showed the followings. First, all Korean low cost carriers were characterized as formal style except Jin Air. Unlike this, Asian low cost carriers appeared as diverse including formal, semi formal, and casual styles with a uniquely differentiated image. Second, all carriers applied their own symbolic color to their uniform. Third, logo or symbol was adopted as a pattern on scarf in the two Korean companies but it didn't take effect practically. For those Asian carriers, embroidery was used on jacket, jumper and collar. They utilized even a merchandising character to put emphasis on airline image. Fourth, diverse petty items with a decorative effect were used in the case of Korean low cost carriers. In the changing period of uniform, nothing much was changed and remained almost the same as before. Those in the Asian region were characterized with the smallest number of items and the preclusion of decorative add-ons on uniform.

Robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy has been used to increase physical function in post-stroke patients. The aim of this meta-analysis was to identify whether robot-assisted gait training can improve patients’ functional abilities. A comprehensive search was performed of PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Academic Search Premier (ASP), ScienceDirect, Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS), Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), Korea National Library, and the Korean Medical Database up to April, 2014. Fifteen eligible studies researched the effects of robot-assisted gait training to a control group. All outcome measures were classified by International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) domains (body function and structures, activity, and participation) and were pooled for calculating the effect size. The overall effect size of the robot-assisted gait training was .356 [95% confidence interval (CI): .186∼.526]. When the effect was compared by the type of electromechanical robot, Gait Trainer (GT) (.471, 95% CI: .320∼.621) showed more effective than Lokomat (.169, 95% CI: .063∼.275). In addition, acute stroke patients showed more improvement than others. Although robot-assisted gait training may improve function, but there is no scientific evidence about the appropriate treatment time for one session or the appropriate duration of treatment. Additional researchers are needed to include more well-designed trials in order to resolve these uncertainties.

목적: RMSPE 값(Root Mean Square Power Error Value)을 적용하여 누진 가입도 렌즈의 부 위별 오류 값을 도식화하여 디자인에 따른 광학적 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 방법: 임상에서 처방되고 있는 17가지의 누진 가입도 렌즈(원용부 굴절력이 0.00D이고 가입도 가 1.50D, 2.00D 및 2.50D)를 대상으로 선정하였다. Free Form Verifier(FFV, Rotlex, Israel) 를 사용하여 대상의 전면 굴절력을 측정하였다. 0.5mm 간격의 6953개 지점의 측정값을 RMSPE 값으로 산출하여 원용부 및 중간거리 그리고 근용부 굴절력의 분포를 각각 도식화하였 다. 결과: 원용부, 중간거리부 및 근용부의 각 지점에서 요구되는 굴절력과 RMSPE의 차이로부터 명시범위와 주변부 굴절력의 분포를 0.25D 간격으로 나타내었다. 각 디자인 및 동일 디자인에 서 가입도 증가에 따른 굴절력 분포 특성을 쉽게 구별할 수 있었다. 등가구면굴절력을 적용했 을 때보다 부위별 오차값이 더 컸다. 결론: 전면굴절력에 대한 RMSPE를 부위별로 요구되는 굴절력과 비교하여 원용부, 중간거리부 및 근용부의 명시범위를 동시에 표현하고, 누진가입도렌즈의 디자인 및 가입도 변화에 따른 광 학적 특성을 편리하게 비교 분석할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다고 생각된다.

목적 : 최근의 국민건강영양조사 내용을 기반으로 우리나라 연령관련황반변성(Age-related macular degeneration, AMD)의 위험 요인 인자를 분석하고자 한다. 방법 : 국민건강영양조사 제5기 과정 중 2011, 2012년도 조사대상자의 건강 검진과 안과 검진 을 받은 사람을 대상으로 AMD의 위험 요인을 분석하였다. AMD와 연관성이 있는 위험요인은 카이제곱 검정 결과로 분석하고, 이러한 요인과 AMD 상관성은 로지스틱 회귀분석으로, 오즈비 는 이진수로지스틱 회귀분석으로 구하고 유의수준은 0.05 이하로 하였다. 모든 통계처리는 SPSS ver.18로 분석하였다. 결과 : 고혈압, 백내장, 고지혈증, 고콜레스테롤혈증, 중성지방, 난시, 가족력, 당뇨, 햇빛 노출 시간, 흡연은 황반변성과 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다( p<.001). 백내장이 있는 사람에게서 AMD이 나타날 확률은 백내장이 없는 사람보다 5.360배 높았고, 당뇨병은 1.752배 높았으며, 안과질환 가족력이 있는 사람은 안과질환 가족력이 없는 사람보다 1.546배 높았다. 하루에 햇빛에 5시간 이상 노출된 사람은 그 이하의 시간에 노출된 사람에 비해 AMD가 나타날 확률 이 1.397배 높았고, 거주하는 곳이 읍, 면인 경우 도시에 거주하는 경우보다 1.691배, 고지혈 증, 고콜레스테롤 혈증, 중성지방이 비정상인 사람은 각각 1.475배, 1.276배, 1.031배 높았고, 굴절이상(난시)이 있는 사람은 2.275배 더 높았다. 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 흡연은 승산비가 1.592, 연령은 승산비 1.061로 1 단위 증가하면 승산비가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론 : AMD는 고혈압, 고지혈증, 연령, 흡연, 백내장, 생활습관, 가족력과 연관이 있고 특히 연령과 흡연이 증가할수록 발병 확률이 높아지는 것을 확인하였다.
