This study aims to prove effects of exercise on stomach cancer patients through literature review and provide basic materials for development of programs of systematic exercise. In the study of Na et el.(2001) that carried out an aerobic exercise program oriented to stomach cancer patients after operation, NK cells increased in the exercise group. In the study of Choi J ini et al.(2012), according to the result of an 8-week-long exercise program oriented to stomach cancer patients under oral chemotherapy after operation, patients showed positive effects in terms of fatigue and anxiety, and improvement in NK cells and quality of life. On the other hand, the study of Sohn Yun-seon(2013) that carried out an exercise program in the complex anaerobic-aerobic form oriented to early-stage stomach cancer patients demonstrated improvement in maximal oxygen uptake. In the study of Wiebke Jansen et al.(2014), the results of an exercise program in the complex anaerobic-aerobic form oriented to gastrointestinal cancer patients under the palliative chemotherapy showed decreased level of fatigue of patients and increased sleeping hours and augmented level of muscular strength in the anaerobic exercise group. The studies confirmed that application of exercise programs for stomach cancer patients gave positive influences on them in all stages; after the operation, during the treatment and after the treatment. However, there are a small number of studies regarding development of customized exercise programs for stomach cancer patients. It is estimated that the number of stomach cancer patients will increase even more in the future because the rate of stomach cancer is steadily on the rise and the relative survival rate is also increasing after operation and treatment. It is considered highly important to provide exercise-based management for patients, during the post-diagnosis cancer treatment process and after treatment.

We fabricated the YBCO films on LAO substrate using the TFA-MOD method and evaluated the effects of heat treatment temperature and film thickness on the microstructure, degree of texture, and critical properties. The calcining and firing were peformed at the temperature range of , respectively. For the films fired at after calcining at showed highest critical temperature (Tc-onset) of 89.5 K and critical current (Ic) of 40A/cm-width which corresponds to critical current density (Jc) of . The highest critical properties are probably attributed to the formation of purer YBCO phase, stronger biaxial texture, and higher oxygen content, according to the XRD, pole-figure, SEM, Raman analysis. From the multi-coated films, the Ic increased from 39 to 169 A/cm-width as the coating repeated to four times, while the corresponding Jc was measured from once to be in the range of . Both Ic and Jc degraded as the coating repeated further, indicating that the optimum thickness is in the range of .

We have observed the zero-crossing steps in a surface junction of a mesa structure micro-fabricated on the surface of a Bi-2212 single crystal. With the application of microwave of frequencies 76 and 94 GHz, the current-voltage characteristics show clear voltage steps satisfying the ac Josephson relation. Increasing the microwave power, the heights of the steps show the Bessel-function behavior up to step number n=4. We confirm that the intrinsic surface junction meets the criterion for the observation of zero-crossing steps., 8 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. B
