The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of gait training using functional electrical stimulation on the improvement of hemiplegic patients' functions for balance and gait velocity. The subjects of the experiment were determined to be 10 each hemiplegic patients who had been diagnosed with stroke or brain damage six months or longer earlier assigned to an experimental group and a control group respectively. The subjects were evaluated before the experiment using Tetrax and 10M gait tests, received gait training five times a week for four weeks using functional electrical stimulation and were evaluated after the experiment in the same method as used in the evaluation before the experiment. In order to examine differences between the experimental group that received gait training using functional electrical stimulation and the control group that was treated by functional electrical stimulation and received gait training thereafter, differences between before and after the experiment were analyzed using paired sample t-tests and differences in changes after the experiment between the experimental group and the control group were analyzed using independent sample t-tests in order to compare the two groups with each other. Experimental results showed significant differences in weight bearing, balance and gait velocity between before and after the experiment in the experimental group(p<.05). In the control group, whereas weight bearing and gait velocity did not show any significant difference between before and after the experiment(p>.05), balance showed significant differences(p<.05). Weight bearing, balance and gait velocity change rates showed significant differences between the experimental group and the control group(p<.05). In conclusion, it was indicated that gait training using functional electrical stimulation is effective for enhancing stroke patients' weight bearing rates, balance abilities and gait velocity.
(1-3)-β-glucanase 동위효소의 발현 양상을 등 전점 전기영동 젤에서 직접 검출 확인할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 개발된 방법은 시판되고 있는 (1-3)-β-glucanase활성 측정용 염료착색 기질을 이용하였다. 본 방법은 신속, 간편하며 보리 종자에서 발현되는 것으로 알려져 있는 모든 (1-3)-βglucanase 동위효소를 검출할 수 있을 정도로 민감하고 특이적이었다. 시판되고 있는 Penicillium(1-3)-β-glucanase에 대한 활성 검출 한계단위는 50 u U 정도로 추정되었다. 따라서, 본 방법은 특별한 시설이나 연구 인력을 확보하고 있지 않는 연구실에서 식물체의 (1-3)-β-glucanase발현에 대한 단백질 수준에서의 연구를 수행하는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다
