본 연구에서는 임상적으로 얻어진 95개의 영상 자료를 전산화하여 특정 간 영역의 명도분포를 분석하여 이와 간의 지방화 정도와의 상관성을 연구하였다. 지방화 정도를 판단하는 임상적 기준으로 보편적으로 인정되는 지방간지수와 계산된 평균 명도 수치와의 선형 상관 계수를 구하였다. 각각의 영상의 밝기 및 에코정도가 일반적으로 불균일하기 때문에 이를 보정하기 위해 밝은 명도와 어두운 명도의 기준영역을 선정하여 상대명도를 추출하였다. 두 가지 독립적인 방법으로 기준 영역을 선택하여 비교한 결과, 임상 지방간지수와 높은 상관성을 보임을 알 수 있었고, 지방간 진단의 보조자료로 유용함을 확인하였다. 계산된 지방간지수와 상대명도의 상관계수는 0.69 에서 0.79로 나타났다.

성선 외 생식세포종양은 비교적 드물어 모든 생식세포종양의 5% 미만을 차지한다. 주로 천미부생식세포종양이 골반부나 후복막으로 확장된 경우가 대부분이며, 후복막이나 복강 내에 발생하는 생식세포종양은 매우 드물다. 저자는 복부 종괴를 주소로 내원한 18개월 된 여아에서 간 전이를 동반한 복강 내 혼합 생식세포종양을 치료하였다. 복부 초음파 및 전산화 단층촬영에서 복부 좌상사분역에 석회화, 고형 및 지방 성분을 포함하고 있는 낭성 종괴와 간에 1cm 크기의 결절이 관찰되었다. 종괴는 개복 후 제거되었으며, 병리조직학적으로 대부분의 내배엽동 종양과 적은 성숙 기형종으로 구성된 혼합 생식세포종양으로 진단되었으며, 간의 전이병변도 동일하게 진단되었다. 수술 후 항암화학요법을 시행하였으며, 환자는 현재 수술 후 10년이 경과하였으나 재발의 소견은 없다.

Tuberculoma of the lungs is not an uncommon finding, but an ectopic liver in the lung is extremely rare. Pulmonary tuberculosis presenting as tuberculoma can be diagnosed radiologically, but its definite diagnosis is established by confirmation of the acid-fast bacillus or the unique histology. We report here on a case of tuberculoma of the left lower lobe that was erroneously diagnosed as ectopic liver by ultrasono-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy. An understanding of the normal variants of the liver can prevent a patient from undergoing an unnecessary invasive procedure.

To develop a liquid rocket engine with high reliability and safety under constraints of limited time and budget an optimal diagnosis system for the engine needs to be developed in parallel with the development of the engine. This paper is intended to set a development direction of the diagnosis system for the liquid rocket engine through the literature survey and addresses possible engine defects, characteristics of parameters for diagnosis and diagnostic methods including real-time diagnosis, post-test/post-flight diagnosis, fault detection method, parameter circuit method and test diagnosis. In addition tasks to be performed in the design and operation phases of the engine and foreign application case of engine diagnosis are presented.

Type III Glycogen storage disease (Type III GSD, OMIM#232400) is a genetic metabolic disorder in which undigested glycogen accumulates in the organs due to lack of glycogen debranching enzyme caused by AGL mutation. The clinical symptoms of type III GSD include hepatomegaly, delayed growth, hypoglycemia and muscle weakness. These clinical symptoms are similar to those of other types of GSD, making it difficult to distinguish clinically. The authors report a case of type III GSD diagnosed by gene panel sequencing. A 11-month old male patient was presented with hepatomegaly. In liver biopsy, glycogen was accumulated in hepatocytes, suggesting GSDs. For differential diagnosis of types of GSD, gene panel sequencing for GSDs was performed. As a result, two novel pathogenic compound heterozygous variants: c.311_312del (p.His104Argfs*15) and c.3314+1G>A in AGL were detected and the patient was diagnosed as type III GSD. After diagnosis, he started dietary treatment with cornstarch, and has been free from complications. After two years, two same variants were also identified in the chorionic villous sampling of the pregnant mother, and the fetus was diagnosed as type III GSD. Gene panel sequencing is useful for diagnosis of disease which is indistinguishable by clinically and has high genetic heterogeneity, such as GSD. After diagnosis, familial genetic analysis can provide adequate genetic counseling and rapid diagnosis.

This study tests homogeneity and performs multiple comparison analysis among treatment levels of each factor group through t-test by materials and analysis of variance by structural type and service period. For that descriptive statistical analysis is performed for static and dynamic response characteristics and their ratios of calculated versus measured values based on a good many safety assessment reports for bridges. Homogeneity and post hoc test based on descriptive statistical analysis provide the measures for homogeneity identification among comparison groups in addition to the statistical reference values such as central tendency, variation and shape. This study is expected to be valuable for structural integrity assessment and design by comparing the measured and calculated values with the reference values for the homogeneous group identified, which can help the engineers review the adequacy of the values and put the group database to practical use.

In this work, a PC-based thermal performance monitoring system is developed for the nuclear power plants. The system performs real-time thermal performance monitoring and diagnosis during plant operation. Specifically, a prototype for the KORI-2 nuclear power unit is developed and examined in this work. The analysis and the fault identification of the thermal cycle of a nuclear power plant is very difficult because the system structure is highly complex and the components are very much inter-related. In this study, some major diagnostic performance parameters are selected in order to represent the thermal cycle effectively and to reduce the computing time. The Fuzzy ARTMAP, a self-organizing neural network, is used to recognize the characteristic pattern change of the performance parameters in abnormal situation. By examination, this algorithm is shown to be able to detect abnormality and to identify the fault component or the change of system operation condition successfully. For the convenience of operators, a graphical user interface is also constructed in this work.

An effective real time fault diagnosis approach for UAV engine is drawn from IMM filter and GLRT methods. For this purpose based on the linear diagnosis model derived from engine dynamic performance analysis the Kalman filter for residual estimation and each method are applied to the fault diagosis of the actuator for engine control sensors. From the process of the IMM filter application the effective FDI measure is obtained and the state responses due to actuator fault are estimated. Likewise from the GLRT method the fault magnitudes of actuator and sensors are estimated associated with some FDI functionings. The numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the IMM filter for FDI and the GLRT in estimating the fault magnitudes of each fault mode.

In this paper, a multi-node real-time diagnostic and management system based on zigbee sensor network is proposed, which is to monitor and diagnose multiple nodes as well as to control the data generated from the various multiple sensors collectively. The proposed system is designed to transmit the collected wireless and wired data to the server for monitoring and controling efficiently the condition for multi-nodes by taking the corresponding actions according to the analysis. The system is implemented to make it possible to manage the sensor data by classifying them, of which data are issued from the clustered sources with a number of the remote sensors. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, we measure and analyze both the transmission delay time according to the distance and the data loss rate issued from multiple sensors. The results shows that the proposed system has a good performance.
