Background: Weakness of gluteus medius (Gmed) is related with musculoskeletal disorders. Individuals who experience weakness in the Gmed may activate the tensor fasciae latae (TFL) as a compensatory mechanism. Application of isometric hip extension (IHE) with Thera-band may affect the activities of the Gmed, gluteus maximus (Gmax), and TFL, and the activity ratio of Gmed/TFL during side-lying hip abduction (SHA). Objects: To determine the influences of IHE during SHA on Gmed, Gmax, and TFL activities in participants with Gmed weakness. Methods: Three types of SHA exercises were performed: 1) traditional SHA in the frontal plane (SHA-T), 2) SHA with IHE applying Thera-band in the frontal plane (SHA-IHE), 3) and SHA with isometric hip flexion (IHF) applying Thera-band in the frontal plane (SHA-IHF). Results: SHA-IHE significantly showed higher Gmed and Gmax activities than SHA-T and SHA-IHF. SHA-IHF significantly showed higher activity of TFL than SHA-T or SHA-IHE. The activity ratio of Gmed/TFL was significantly higher in the SHA-IHE, SHA-T, and SHA-IHF, in that order. Conclusion: The SHA-IHE resulted in higher activities of Gmed, Gmax and a higher muscle ratio of Gmed/TFL.

The purpose of this study is to review the discourse on vaccination from a critical perspective by considering coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) news on web portals to be practical arguments advocating for certain actions. For this purpose, this study analyzed the argument patterns of the discourse on vaccination with the keyword COVID-19 vaccine side effects and examined discourse characteristics highlighted by media reports to evaluate their meaning. Contrasting patterns were observed between pro- and anti-vaccine arguments, which consisted of the necessity of vaccination and medical evidence and which focused on personal choice and vaccine side effects, respectively. The characteristics of the political discourse were observed in the contest between these arguments. Rhetorical phrases, which are often used in the political discourse, represented the misleading arguments that lacked evidential accuracy and argumentative validity by maximizing fear, instead of alleviating fear about a health crisis with scientific information and discussion. As fake news trending on social media was introduced to online news portals, which are regarded as public discourse platforms, and undermined trust in the public discourse, it served as an opportunity to politicize the discourse on vaccination.

본 연구는 아세트아미노펜, 비타민 C, 무수 구연산으로 구성된 해열진통 및 염증 완화제, 피버닐산의 사료첨가가 구제역(FMD) 백신의 접종으로 야기 될 수 있는 돼지의 부작용에 대한 감소 효과를 확인하기 위해 실시되었다. 8-9주령의 돼지(LYD) 30마리를 공시, 대조군(n=10), 구제 역 백신 접종군(n=10; T1), 구제역 백신+피버닐 산 투여군 (n=10; 백신 접종 후 5일 간 0.2% 피버닐 산 경구 투여, T2), 3개 그룹으로 배치하여 시험을 진행하였다. 각 시험 구에서 총 14일 동안 체중, 혈액학치, 혈액화학치, FMD 항체 및 스트레스 지표의 변화를 관찰했으며, 총 증체량 은 T1(11.13±1.33kg)에 비해 T2(13.76±1.73kg)에서 유의적 으로 증가하였다(p<0.001). 혈액학치 및 혈액화학치 분석 결과, 백신을 접종한 두 처리군에서 유의한 차이는 없었 다. FMD 항체 역가는 T1(89.1±7.9)에 비해 T2(91.9±5.6)에 서 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 통계적 유의성을 나타나지 않았다. T2 그룹의 코르티솔, TNF-α 및 CRP와 같은 스 트레스, 염증 지표 물질은 구제역 백신 접종 후 3일에서 5 일 사이에 각각 310.31±44.11ng/mL, 59.05±11.88pg/mL, 29.05±2.84ng/mL으로 T1(361.58±58.74ng/mL, 74.47±19.26 pg/mL, 34.21±5.34ng/mL)보다 유의적으로 낮게 측정되 었다. 시험 14일째에 육안 및 조직병리학적 분석 결과, 주 사 부위의 염증 반응은 T2에서 적게 관찰되었으며 염증세 포 침윤 및 섬유조직이 증식된 육아종성 염증 또한 T2에 서 적게 관찰되었다. 본 연구결과로 미루어 보아 피버닐 산의 0.2% 경구 투여는 체중감소, 발열 등의 임상증상을 감소시키는 효과가 있으며, 접종 부위의 염증반응을 억제 하여 구제역 백신 접종의 부작용에 대한 스트레스를 경감 시키는 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 백신 접종 후 피버닐 산 의 0.2% 경구 투여는 돼지에서 구제역 백신 접종과 관련 된 부작용을 줄이는 데 효과적인 것으로 사료된다.

Busulfan is the most commonly used drug for preconditioning during the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells and male germ cells. Here, we describe side effects of high doses of busulfan in male mongrel dogs. Busulfan was intravenously administered to three groups of dogs at doses of 10, 15, and 17.5 mg/kg body weight. The total white blood cell, neutrophil, eosinophil, lymphocyte, monocyte, and platelet counts steadily reduced in a dose-dependent manner following busulfan treatment. The white blood cell, neutrophil, and monocyte counts recovered after 6 weeks of busulfan treatment, however, the eosinophil, lymphocyte, and platelet counts remained unaltered. Additionally, there was one fatality in the each of the groups that were administered 15 and 17.5 mg/kg busulfan. The gross lesions included severe hemorrhage in the stomach, intestinal tracts, mesentery and urinary bladder. Microscopic investigation revealed severe pulmonary edema and hemorrhage in the lungs, and severe multifocal to coalescing transmural hemorrhage in the intestines and urinary bladder. These results indicated that treatment with busulfan at doses higher than 15 mg/kg initiates severe bleeding in the internal organs and can have fatal results.

This study evaluated whether fevernill, which is primarily composed of acetaminophen, vitamin C, and anhydrous citric acid, is effective in relieving stress caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) vaccination in calves. Three-month-old calves from a farm in Korea were randomly assigned to one of three groups (n = 10 per group: control [untreated], group A [FMDV vaccination], and group B [FMDV vaccination + addition of fevernill 0.2% to feed for five days after vaccination]). Body weights, antibody formation, clinical symptoms, serum parameters were measured in the 14 days following vaccination. Total weight gain and average daily gain during the experiment period were group A (12.00±1.15 kg, 0.86±0.08 kg/day) compared to group B (13.57±0.98 kg, 0.97±0.07 kg/day) was significantly improved (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in the formation of antibodies against the FMDV vaccine between group A and group B, though the antibody value of group B tended to be higher than that of group A. The pre-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α value was 74.47±19.26 pg/ml in group A and 59.05±11.88 pg/ml in group B on the 5th day of the experiment, which was significantly lower in group B than in group A (p<0.05). Also, cortisol concentrations were significantly lower in group B than in group A (p<0.05). In conclusion, the feeding of fevernil is judged to be helpful in mitigating the side effects caused by FMD vaccination, and thus it is thought to be able to prevent the decrease in productivity caused by vaccination.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the nurses’ experience of the side effects of COVID-19 vaccination and understand its meaning. Methods: This study was a qualitative study using the content analysis method. The data collection period using a focus group was from October 26, 2021 to January 23, 2022. Results: The themes included: “Pressure from mandatory COVID-19 vaccination”, “Feeling relieved because the side effects are mild”, “Severe vaccine side effects cause negative emotions”, “Tolerating side effects and coping personally”, “Confusion and alienation about insufficient coping of side effects”, “Feeling skeptical about the COVID-19 vaccination policy”, “Thinking about how to build trust in the COVID-19 vaccine”.

소형선박 기관실 내 화재 시 개구부 유동 및 온도에 대해 FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator)를 이용하여 화재시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 열방출률이 10 kW 급인 경유(Diesel) 화재를 대상으로 하였고, 천장 통풍통의 위치, 측면 개구부 유·무 및 크기에 대한 영향을 파악하였다. 측면 개구부의 유·무 및 크기는 연기 거동 뿐 아니라 개구부를 통한 질량 유량 및 온도에 지대한 영향을 미쳤다. 측면 개구부가 미설치되거나 크기가 작은 경우 연기층이 기관실 내 바닥까지 도달하였고, 측면 개구부의 크기가 증가함에 따라 개구부를 통한 질량 유량이 증가하고 온도는 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 반면, 천장 통풍통의 위치가 연기 거동, 개구부를 통한 질량 유량 및 온도에 미치는 영향은 측면 개구부 크기에 비해 상대적으로 미미한 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 소형선박의 기관실 내 화재 시 안전성 향상을 위해서는 천장 통풍통 위치보다 측면 개구부의 크기가 더 중요한 설계 인자인 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to offer basic data on cosmetics by investigating college women’s purchasing and use behaviors regarding cosmetics according to their experience with side effects. A questionnaire was administered to 351 college women in the Seoul and Kyoung-in areas. The data were analyzed with SPSS Statistics V22.0 using frequency, χ2-test, and t-test. The results are as follows. First, 72.6% of surveyed women reported experiencing side effects from cosmetics. The largest side effects were acne and boils, and the primary ways of coping with these side effects were discontinuing use and using other products. Second, the group that experienced cosmetics’ side effects used brands that were more expensive and eco-friendly than the group without side effects. Third, the group that experienced side effects continued to use the product more than the group without side effects. The primary reason for continued use was efficacy, and the reasons for discontinued use were efficacy and curiosity. Fourth, the side-effects group proactively identified cosmetics ingredients more than the non-side-effects group. Specifically, they checked the major components, the function, and for any hazardous ingredients. Fifth and finally, 98.3% of survey respondents purchased and used functional cosmetics. The group that had experience with side effects used more functional cosmetics than the group without side effects.

Background: Improvement of lumbo-pelvic stability can reduce the compensatory action of the quadratus lumborum (QL) and selectively strengthen the gluteus medius (GM) during side-lying hip abduction (SHA). There are abdominal draw-in maneuver (ADIM) and abdominal bracing (AB) as active ways, and pelvic compression belt (PCB) as a passive way to increase of lumbo-pelvic stability. It is necessary to compare how these stabilization methods affect the selective strengthening of the GM. Objects: To investigate the effects of ADIM, AB, and PCB during SHA on the electromyography (EMG) activity of the GM, QL, external oblique (EO) and internal oblique (IO), and the GM/QL EMG activity ratio. Methods: A total of 20 healthy male adults participated in the study. The subjects performed three conditions in side-lying in random order: SHA with ADIM (SHA-ADIM), SHA with AB (SHA-AB), and SHA with PCB (SHA-PCB). To compare the differences among the three conditions, the EMG activities of the GM, QL, EO and IO, and GM/QL EMG activity ratio were analyzed using one-way repeated ANOVA. Results: The EMG activity of the QL was significantly higher in SHA-AB than in SHA-ADIM and SHA-PCB. The GM/QL activity ratio was significantly higher in SHA-PCB than in SHA-ADIM and SHA-AB. In addition, the figure for SHA-ADIM was significantly higher than that for SHA-AB. In the case of the EO, the figure for SHA-AB was significantly higher than corresponding values for the other two conditions. The figure for SHA-ADIM was significantly higher than that for SHA-PCB. The EMG activity of the IO was significantly higher in SHA-AH than in SHA-PCB. Conclusion: It can be suggested that wearing the PCB can more selectively strengthen the GM than to perform ADIM and AB during SHA. In addition, the ADIM can be recommended when there is a need to strengthen abdominal muscles during SHA.

본 연구에서는 저온기에 참외재배 단동 플라스틱 온실에서 지붕 환기팬을 이용하여 환기할 때 작물에 스트레스를 적게 주면서 바깥 공기를 하우스 내부로 균일하게 유입할 수 있는 방법으로 하우스 전체길이에 대해 측창 안쪽부분에 비닐을 부착하는 방법을 개발하였다. 지면으로부터 측창이 최대한 열렸을 때 높이의 10cm 아래까지 비닐을 설치하였다. 측창 개선에 의한 온실 환경 개선 및 참외 수량증대 효과를 검증하기 위하여 개선 측창형 태와 관행의 측창형태를 비교하였다. 2017년 2월 25일 까지는 두 시험구 모두 환기를 하지 않았는데, 2월 중순 하우스 내 기온이 40oC를 넘어섰다. 따라서 2월 중순부터는 하우스 환기를 시작해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 대조 구에서의 기온이 4월 하순부터 30oC를 넘어섰다. 그러므로 측창 안쪽에 부착한 비닐을 4월 하순, 늦어도 5월 상순에는 제거해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 4월 중순에 처리구에서의 지온은 생육 적온 범위인 20oC를 넘어선데 비해 대조구에서는 여전히 20oC보다 낮게 나타났다. 4월 하순이 되어서야 대조구의 지온도 20oC를 넘어서는 것으로 나타났다. 전기사용량은 처리구 47.2kWh, 대조구 48.3kWh로 처리 간에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 처리구에서의 참외 상품수량은 5,094kg으로 대조구 4,113kg에 비해 23.9% 많았다. 상품과율은 처리구 73.5%, 대조구 73.9%로 차이가 없었다.

The purpose of this study was to determine if a gentle form of manual lumbar traction could reduce painful lumbar motions associated with lumbar disc degeneration (LDD). This clinical trial incorporated 134 participants with painful active lumbar motion. Participants were randomly assigned to an experimental treatment or sham group. 67 participants received sidelying manual lumbar traction while the other 67 participants received a sham treatment. Pre and post treatment NPRS values for the painful active lumbar motion were recorded for each group. There was a statistically significant improvement (P=0.00) for decreased pain intensity during active lumbar motion in the experimental group as compared to the sham treatment group. The average percent decrease in numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) values was 52.1% for the experimental treatment group and 8.1% for the sham group. The results of the study suggest that side-lying manual lumbar traction can improve painful lumbar motion in patients with LDD.

Background: Lumbar stabilization (LS) improve the thickness of the quadratus lumborum (QL) muscle and muscle activity of the gluteus medius (GM) muscle during hip abduction in a side-lying position in patients with low back pain (LBP). Objects: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of LS on muscle thickness of QL and muscle activity of GM during hip abduction in side-lying in patients with LBP. Methods: The study included 32 patients with LBP, who were randomly divided into the control group and experimental group, each with 16 patients. All subjects performed 35° preferred hip abduction (control group) and 35° hip abduction with LS (experimental group) during side-lying. An ultrasonography and a surface electromyography were used to measure the thickness of the QL muscle, and the muscle activities of the GM muscle respectively. Independent t-test was used to compare the muscle thickness of the QL and the muscle activity of the GM muscle, respectively. Results: Anterio-posterior diameter in the muscle thickness of QL muscle was decreased significantly in hip abduction with LS more than in preferred hip abduction (p<.001), but medio-lateral diameter in the muscle thickness of QL muscle was not significantly different between in preferred hip abduction and in hip abduction with LS (p=.06). The muscle activity of GM was increased significantly in hip abduction with LS more than in preferred hip abduction (p<.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that hip abduction with LS could be recommended as a hip abduction for LS and a prevention unwanted compensatory pelvic lateral tilting movement.

The purpose of this study is to monitor the current adverse reactions in administering CT contrast agents at general hospitals and also to suggest the practical guidelines to minimize the risk and to show the successful patient management. At four Dajeon city general hospitals, the contrast agents were administered in 646,828 cases and the overall prevalence of adverse reactions was 4,110 cases from January 2010 to December 2013. However, we excluded the two hospitals’ 3,658 cases because the patients’ data was inadequate. Consequently, the case surveys on the rest of 452 cases have been studied and submitted. After comparing the patients with a control group, we evaluated that the key factors of the adverse reactions were the gender and age difference of the patients, the examination period, the examination method, the quantity and administrating speed of the contrast agents. Even though the four general hospitals have their own management systems on adverse reactions, but their systems were not satisfying. To improve the quality of the management systems and to investigate further cases, some hospital administration procedures on the subject should be systemized and general hospitals should follow the recommended procedures. Moreover, the existing three-year-term evaluation should not only judge the adverse reaction management but also conclude some details on the sub criteria of the evaluation. The details on the sub criteria include the contrast agent characters, the quantity and administrating speed of the drug, the incidents’ occurred time, an anamnesis; a case history, the medical history of the patients and the reaction occurring body parts, and the examination title. The details of the medical examiners are also added to the sub criteria.

이 연구는 스마트폰 사용이 많아지고 스마트폰 중독이라는 말이 생겨날 정도로 학생들이 스마트폰에 빠지는 것을 지켜보면서 모바일 역기능을 해소하기 위하여 학생들에게 알려주는 프로그램을 개발하려고 하였다. 다양한 모바일 기기를 통해 시간과 장소의 제한 없이 원하는 사람과 소통하고 각종 매체로부터 다양한 미디어 정보에 쉽게 접근할 수 있어 편리하기는 하지만 이에 따른 역기능 또한 함께 대두되고 있다. 우리 아이들은 스마트폰으로 원하는 정보에 쉽게 접근할 수 있고, 카카오톡과 같은 채팅 애플리케이션이 무분별하게 쏟아지면서 이들을 이용한 사이버 연애 및 성범죄의 온상이 되고 있으며 스마트폰이 가지는 매력 때문에 아이들이 매료되어 중독이라 할 정도로 스마트폰을 과다하게 사용하고 있다. 이에 본 연구자는 현재 아이들이 모바일기기로 인하여 기존에 경험하지 못한 부작용을 예방하고 새로운 정보통신 윤리관의 정립 및 교육적인 측면에서 모바일 역기능 해소 프로그램 개발을 통한 학습자 정보통신 윤리의식 소양 지도를 모색하게 되었다.

하절기 온실 내 온도와 상대습도를 동시에 제어할 목적으로 압축공기를 이용한 이류체 분무 포그 냉방 을 도입한 유리온실에서 측창의 개폐수준이 온실내의 온도와 상대습도 제어에 어떠한 영향을 주는지 분석하였다. 제어과정은 온실 환경변수들을 측정하고, 이를 반영하여 온실 내 수분평형방정식과 열평형방정식을 정립한 다음, 이 방정식들을 프로그램으로 코딩하여 각 사이클의 천창 개폐량과 포그 분무량을 결정하고 제어하였다. 온실의 온습도 제어목표는 온도와 습도를 각각 28, 75%로 설정하였고, 실험은 측창이 전혀 열리지 않은 0%, 50% 열린 경우, 100% 열린 경우 세 가지 모드를 비교분석하였다. 제어실험결과 온실 내 건구온도의 평균은 모드에 따라 각각 28.2, 27.2 26.3℃로 나타났으며, 표준편차는 0.4∼0.8℃이 었다. 상대습도는 측창을 완전히 닫은 모드인 0%의 경우 평균 76.3% 정도로서 목표 상대습도인 75%에 상당히 근접해서 제어되고 있었으며, 표준편차가 2.1%로서 다른 모드에 비해 상당히 안정된 범위에서 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 0%의 모드에서 가장 목표온도로 잘 제어되고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

국내 게임산업은 세계 수준과 어깨를 나란히 할 수 있도록 많은 발전을 이룩하였다. 하지만 발전에만 급급한 나머 지 산업에 의한 사회적 영향에 대해서는 많이 소홀이 해왔다. 게임 역기능으로 인해 자살, 살인 등의 범죄가 일어났 고, 게임 중독 및 아이템 현금거래 등 사회적 문제들이 야기되었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점의 심각성을 인지하고 조금이나마 문제 해결방안을 제시하고자 한다.
