  • For pain relief my collegue and I used thin acupuncture needles as electrodes in electric stimulation. The needles were inserted into a trigger point and into another point located in the same muscle instead of meridian points of electro-acupuncture. Low frequency electric stimulation was given through the needles to 130 patients for 15 min. The results were as follows In 25 acute sprain patients electric stimulation was given $3.14{\pm}1.12$ times and the pain was reduced on the average by $83.00{\pm}6.77%$ (VAS). In 45 chronic sprain patients electric stimulation was given $5.51{\pm}1.38$ times and the pain was reduced on the average by $70.22{\pm}8.98%$ (VAS). In 28 myofascial pain syndrome patients electric stimulation was given $6.22{\pm}1.25$ times and the pain was reduced on the average by $66.48{\pm}8.75$(%). In 7 muscle contraction headache patients electric stimulation was given $4.14{\pm}1.57$ times and the pain was reduced on the average by $75.00{\pm}9.57%$ (VAS). In 25 radiculopathy patients electric stimulation was given $4.73{\pm}1.131$ times and the pain was reduced on the average by $21.37{\pm}9.31%$ (VAS). We he conclude that electric stimulation therapy using acupuncture needles is very effective in acute sprain, chronic sprain, myofascial pain syndrome and muscle contraction headache. Any doctor with knows anatomy and trigger points can practice this method without studying oriental medicine or difficult acupuncture techniques.

  • In the present study, mouse follicular oocytes and 2-cell embryos(late -zygote stage embryos included) were cultured on the electric pad for electric stimulation in the culture incubator. In addition, follicular oocytes and embryos were tested for maturation and development under higher temperature condition($39^{\circ}C$).Mouse follicular oocyte maturation were not affected by anion electric stimulation and there is no significant difference in GBVD and MI between the control and experiment group after 4hr culture. In the embryo culture, it was found that more morula and blastocyst were found in the electric stimulation group rather than the control(96hr). This may seem to be caused with cytoplasmic $Ca^{2+}$ transient rise by electric stimulation(anion pad). On the other hand higher temperature incubation ($39^{\circ}C$) on the anion pad caused all the embryos degenerated within $12h{\sim}24hr$ culture. This was quite different from large animal embryos(bovine, pig, sheep), in which beneficial effect of high temperature incubation for oocyte maturation and embryo development were found.

  • 최근에 레이저를 임상치료에 응용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 전기적 관점에서 레이저 자극이 경락에서 어떠한 전기적 반응을 유도할 수 있는지에 대한 연구가 미흡하고, 명확한 치료효과에 대한 임상보고가 발표되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 레이저자극과 수기자극이 경락전위 형성에 미치는 영향을 비교 관찰하여 전기적 관점에서 침술과정 및 침술효과에 대한 객관적 근거를 제시하고자 하였다. 수양명대장경상의 삼간혈(LI3)을 각각 자극했을 경우, 삼간혈(LI3)과 합곡혈(LI4)에서의 전위변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 레이저 자극 시, 평균 피크전위는 $7.53{\pm}3.44{\mu}V$로 매우 낮게 나타났고, 자극전후 전위패턴에 차이가 없어서 레이저 자극에 대한 유효한 전기반응으로 간주하기 어렵다. 접지조건에 대한 수기자극에서는 평균피크전위가 $2.65{\pm}1.53mV$로 매우 높게 측정되었고, 개인별, 접지조건에 따라 전위크기와 패턴이 다양하게 나타나고 전위패턴은 주로 캐패시터의 충방전 전위와 매우 비슷하게 나타났다. 또한, 절연자침의 경우에서는 접지조건에 관계없이 평균 피크 전위가 $0.25{\pm}0.16mV$로 수기자극 전위에 비하여 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 이는 침자극에 대한 유효한 전기 반응으로 간주하기 어렵다. 따라서, 전기적 관점에서 침술과정과 침술효과는 시술자와 피시술자간의 생체이온전하의 이동에 의한 에너지 교감현상임을 확인하고, 수기자극은 경락의 전기반응을 유도하는 반면, 레이저 자극은 경락의 전기적 반응을 유도하기 어렵다는 것을 확인하였다.

  • Functional Electrical Stimulation is the clinical application of a small electric current to the intact nerves of the body, in order to trigger a muscle contraction. This contraction is then incorporated into a functional activity, for example walling. A clear distinction needs to be made between therapeutic stimulation and functional stimulation. The former being of an exercise orientation, where one would relax while the stimulation works on its own. Functional electrical stimulation on the other hand, incorporates this elicited muscle movement into an everyday activity, like standing, walking, reaching out etc. But recently, New method used to FES which updated electrode insult in muscle and small nerve branch. A lot of new research build up many countries such as England, USA, Japan, Spain, Canada. So I had been write this paper for introduce new FES method, and I hope to more enhanced motivation of therapist for the functional electric stimulation.

  • We investigated the activity and stability of alcohol dehydrogenase from horse liver (HLADH) under the electric stimulation. The activity and stability of alcohol dehydrogenase depended on electric output voltaqe, stimulation time, pulse duration and pulse interval, and temperature. HLADH retained about 23% of its activity in buffer but 78% in 10% trehalose solution under electric stimulation with 10V, 10min, The stabilizing of enzymes against electric stimulation by stabilizing additives showed a great potential use of enzymes in biotechnology and medical engineering fields.

  • 전기자극에서 알콜 산화효소의 활성도와 안정도를 연구하였다. 알콜 산화효소의 활성도와 안정도는 전기출력전압, 자극시간, 자극기간, 자극간격에 따라 달라진다. 전기자극에 의하여 비활성화 효소 활성도는 당, 중합체, 히드로젤과 같은 안정화 첨가제에 의하여 회복되었다. 이 효소에 전기자극을 40 V, 10분 주었을 때 완충용액에서는 활성도가 전혀 없었지만 10% 트레할로스 용액에서는 52%의 활성도를 유지하였다. 전기자극하에서 효소를 안정화시킬 수 있음은 효소를 생물공학과 의료공학에 널리 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여준다.

  • Objectives : To report one case of semi-coma patient was treated by scalp acupuncture with electric stimulation. Methods : Patient (state of semi-coma) was treated by scalp acupuncture with electric stimulation, herbal medication and physical therapy. The improvement of patient was measured every other week by Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS), Modified Bathel Index(MBI), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS). Results : We observed the patient decrease in NIHSS score and increase in GCS and MBI. Symptoms of patient such as semi-coma were improved following the treatment. Conclusions : It is suggested that oriental medical treatment; scalp acupuncture with electric stimulation, herbal medication and physical therapy were effective in semi-coma caused by traumatic brain injury.

  • Use of electric pulp testing elicits painful response in vital teeth. In this study, we examined the excessive time from pain feeling to stimulation disconnection in clinical situation. D626D (Parkell Inc., USA.) scan type electric pulp tester was used in total of 23 young healthy individuals. Each of the right central incisors and first premolars were used as testing teeth. Stimulation disconnection was achieved by EMG in anterior belly of digastric muscle, finger span, and voice and the excessive stimulation time over the sensory thresh-old was recorded. As a result, we found that the short responses before the stimulation disconnection appeared following order:EMG, finger span, and voice. The EMG disconnection is suggested to be used to reduce the excessive stimulus time in electric pulp testing.

  • 전기감전 사고를 예방하기 위해서는 주입식 교육 보다는 체험식 교육이 더욱 효과적이다. 그러나 전기감전 체험형 교육 시스템을 위해서는 감전을 체험할 수 있도록 인체에 대한 적절한 물리적 자극이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 간섭전류형자극기(Interferential Current Type Low Frequency Stimulator)를 감전사고 체험교육에 이용하기 위하여 인체에 대한 자극의 임계값을 실험하였다. 그리고 아동과 성인으로 구분된 연령별 자극 값을 산출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 전기 감전 체험형 교육 시스템에 적용 가능할 것이다.

  • Purpose: This study was to examine the effects of electric stimulation therapy on chronic knee pain, exercise self-efficacy, and quality of life in Korean elderly women. Methods: The design was an unequivalent control pretest-posttest study. Samples were total of 60 (experimental: 30, control: 30) elderly women with healthy cognitive and communication abilities aged 65 years old and above. The experimental treatment involved was the electric stimulation of both thigh quadriceps muscles for 15 minutes per treatment, 3times per a week, for a total of 12 weeks. Measurements taken were S-F MPQ and AIMS for chronic knee pain, exercise self-efficacy measurement for exercise self-efficacy, and S-F 36 scale for quality of life. Data were analyzed using SPSS PC+ 12. Results: Chronic knee pain according to the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (t=43.563, p=.000) and Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale (t=31.364, p=.000) were significantly decreased in the experimental group by the application of electrical stimulation therapy. Exercise self-efficacy (t=107.116, p=.000) and quality of life (t=76.429, p=.000) were significantly increased in the experimental group by the application of electrical stimulation therapy. Conclusion: Electrical stimulation therapy could be a more effective primary nursing intervention in decreasing chronic knee pain, and on increasing exercise self-efficacy and quality of life for Korean elderly women.
