The biomechanical effects of an intramedullary nail system for treating subtrochanteric fracture during bone healing is still unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the stress conditions of a subtrochanteric fracture model implanted with an intramedullary nail system and augmentation plate under stretching exercise. Two displacement conditions assuming stretching exercise were considered. The finite element (FE) model of a subject undergoing surgery with the intramedullary nail system and augmentation plate was constructed based on post-operative computed tomography images. A 1-mm-thick callus was set in the gaps positioned at the fracture line. Bone healing was defined as a change in the Young's modulus of the callus. The orced displacements from the medial and lateral sides were applied to the distal part of the FE model, respectively. In the initial stage of bone healing, there was a noticeable difference between stress distributions of the callus under displacements from the medial and lateral sides. The compressive stress was widely distributed in the callus by the displacement from the lateral side. However, the tensional stress in the callus was increased by displacement from the medial side. Stretching exercise, such as displacement from medial direction, carries a risk of non-union.

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the influence of odor to physiological reaction when a subject’s experience is taken into consideration as a factor. Ten normal Japanese adult male (22.1 ± 1.1 years, mean ± SD) were enrolled. A mixture of spices including coriander, fenugreek, and cumin by the same ratio was used as the standard sample. Commercially available curry powder was used as the excellent sample. Three salivary biomarkers such as amylase, orexin, and β-endorphin were measured during baseline, inhalation and post-inhalation periods. Our results indicated that (i) change of the salivary orexin levels by inhalarion of spice was agreed with the result of subjective evaluation, (ii) the excellent sample showed more remarkable changes in physiology reaction than that of the standard sample. It was thought that a functional spice which it not only backs up delicacy, but have an effect which pulls out sensitivity may be designed.

The stress induced during visual display terminals tasks in various environments was researched. One subject was made to do visual display terminals. The stress induced during visual display terminals tasks was evaluated using concentration of cortisol in saliva, sensory value, and work efficiency. In addition, the correlation between them was studied. New indices concerning stress and work efficiency were derived by means of the multivariate analysis. It was found that two new indices were enable to design a comfortable working environment.

Deaf or hard-of-hearing people need support services such as real-time captioning. It is fairly common for captionists to be unable to perform captioning services. In order to address this problem, we proposed a Mobile-type Remote-captioning System. The main characteristic of our system is to use two functions of one mobile phone (e.g. the iPhone 3G/3GS, Apple Computer, Inc.) at the same time. The two functions are to display the captions input by the captionists (data communications) and to call the captionists to transmit the speaker's speech to the captionists (telephone call). The purpose of our research was to make clear the differences with the existing system, and to discover the advantages and faults of our system. In this study, we investigated these issues using a questionnaire for captionists who had used our system. As a result, we found that our system is suitable for a situation in which the speaker and the deaf or hard-of-hearing person are communicating while walking together (e.g. excursions, plant tours), whether indoors or outdoors. In addition, it reduces the stress that can be caused to deaf or hard-of-hearing children by having adults (captionists) other than teachers in the classroom.
