The purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of the increase of the femoral anteversion angle on the unbalanced quadriceps femoris muscle causing the increase of the valgus force on the knee joints and patellofemoral pain syndrome by comparing with the group that shows the smaller femoral anteversion angle. The method for the research was to compare the femoral muscle's activity while the subjects were maintaining the knee joint flexed isometrically for 10 seconds. The evaluation tool for femoral muscle's activity was QEMG-4 (model LXM 3204). The results were as followings. Firstly, in case of the experimental group, the muscle strength of the vastus lateralis muscle was strong while the rectus femoris and vastus medialis were weak. In these facts, we can see the statistically meaningful difference in vastus medialis muscle activity. Secondly, in the muscle activity analysis for vastus lateralis and medialis of the two groups, we could see the vastus lateralis muscle was strong in anteversion wider for experimental group while the vastus medialis muscle contracted far more stronger in anteversion smaller for control group. From these results, we can see the significant differences in muscle recruitment between the two groups. Above results show that if the anteversion becomes wider, vastus medialis muscle will become seriously weaker, on the other hand, vastus lateralis act stronger.
환경호르몬(내분비계 장애물질)이 하등동물의 생식기 및 생식 기능 이상을 초래한다는 최근보고는 포유동물도 그 영향하에 있음을 암시한다. 따라서 2-bromopropane(2-BP)이 생쥐 차산자의 성별에 미치는 영향과 성 분화 과정 중에 발현되는 유전자를 조사하였다. 생쥐를 2-BP로 3주일 동안 주입한 암수를 4종류 조합으로 교배시 킨 후 태어난 새끼들의 성별을 이유시기에 결정하였다. 성관련 유전자들은 수태 후 10일에 어미 생쥐를 희생시켜 RT-PCR
