A 13-year-old castrated male mixed breed dog and a 12-year-old castrated male mixed breed cat were referred to the hospital for the treatment of pulmonary edema and azotemia at the same time. To resolve the pulmonary edema and azotemia, intermittent hemodialysis (HD) was performed using ultrafiltration (UF), and the pulmonary edema, azotemia, other electrolyte and acid-base imbalances were improved. This case study demonstrated that when we encountered pulmonary edema patients with diuretic resistance, severe electrolyte imbalance, and impaired renal function complicated by decongestive therapy using diuretics, UF therapy can be considered a life-saving intervention.

The copper-catalyzed reaction of silicon with methanol was carried out in a mixed bed reactor to obtain tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS). In order to determine the kinetics of the reaction per active site on the silicon surface, a flow rate transition technique was employed. A kinetic study showed the reaction was in Linear relationship with the amount of contact mass and independent on the concentration of methanol. This result indicated that the rate-determining step was not the chemical process involving methanol, but the formation of silicon intermediate on the contact mass. On the basis of optimum experimental conditions, the maximum TMOS formation rate per g-silicon is 0.030 (g/min) at $210^{\circ}C$, in which activation energy was 8.5 kcal/mol and reaction rate equation was $k=4.09{\times}10^4\;exp$ ($-4.73{\times}10^3/T$).

With the popularization of PC, SNS and IoT, a lot of data is generated and the amount is increasing exponentially. Artificial neural network learning is a topic that attracts attention in many fields in recent years by using huge amounts of data. Artificial neural network learning has shown tremendous potential in speech recognition and image recognition, and is widely applied to a variety of complex areas such as medical diagnosis, artificial intelligence games, and face recognition. The results of artificial neural networks are accurate enough to surpass real human beings. Despite these many advantages, privacy problems still exist in artificial neural network learning. Learning data for artificial neural network learning includes various information including personal sensitive information, so that privacy can be exposed due to malicious attackers. There is a privacy risk that occurs when an attacker interferes with learning and degrades learning or attacks a model that has completed learning. In this paper, we analyze the attack method of the recently proposed neural network model and its privacy protection method.

A case study was made on in site vibration velocity data collected for two months in the construction area of the Daeduck cultural City Hall. Taegu The geology over the area shows distributions of weathered and some crack developed hornfels of mud-shale in the upper part, underlain by less weathered and hard compact quartzite. For the period of 2 months of blasting event, the vibration velocities were measured and these data were analysed for K and n for three different period the test period, first month and second month. The data for the test period show that K and n are 2464 and 1.621 with the cube root method, and 7154 and 1.791 with the sqare root one, respectively. The data for the first month collected mostly from blasting in the upper hornfels show that K and n are 1668 and 1,492 for the cube root and 1219 and 1,366 for the square root, respectively. Such a significant decrease in the K and n values from the test period through the first month for the weathered and comparatively well crack developed rocks hard and compact lower quartzite, may be due to difference in attenuation of waves propagating through physically different media. Therefore, for more effective safety design and blasting, it seems that it may be n to adopt appropriate K and n values, with getting lower step by step while proceeding the operation. In the meantime, the attenuation rate of K and n together with SD cross point for the cube and square root methods indicates that the cube root one appears to be more applicable than the square root for this area with limited distance(The maximum is 100m).

Background: Investigation of the change of ventricular function and mitral regurgitation after surgical repair of patient with anomalous origin of left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is key issue for the better surgical outcome. Material and Method: From April 1986 to July 2002, 12 patients presented with ALCAPA. The median age at repair was 4 months. Surgical methods included left coronary artery transfer to the aorta (10), Takeuchi procedure (1), saphenous vein free graft bypass (1). Mitral valve was repaired in 1. Result: There were 2 hospital death $(16.7\%)$. The mean follow-up period was $7.1\pm4.1$ years (range, 7 months to 13 years). Four patients required postoperative circulatory assist for $2.2\pm1.1$ days and one needed left ventricular assist device (LVAD) for 1day. Postoperative echocardiography demonstrated significant improvements in mean fractional shortening $(33.4\pm9.1\%\;vs\;17.7\pm9.6\%,\;n=10,\;p<0.05);$ left ventricular end diastolic dimension $(33.4\pm7.3\;mm\;vs\;44.8\pm7.0\;mm,\;n=10,\;p<0.05)$ and systolic dimension $(22.2\pm7.5\;mm\;vs\;33.4\pm7.9\;mm,\;n=10,\;p<0.05)$. Severities of mitral regurgitation decreased in all survivors at 1st and 4th year follow-up echocardiography. There were 2 reoperation due to residual MR and right ventricular outflow obstruction (Takeuchi case). Conclusion: Anatomic repair of anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery offered an excellent surgical results, especially in terms of the recovery of left ventricle function and mitral regurgitation. However, preoperative indications for mitral procedure is to be evaluated.

On board comparison of pH and total alkalinity measurement in seawater was carried out during the JES expedition on R/V Roger Revelle in the East Sea using 550 real seawater samples from the surface to the bottom. Spectrophotometry and potentiometry without liquid junction were compared for pH measurement. The pH values of two methods are generally in a good agreement. Spectrophotometry with a pipette provides higher value compare with the potentiometry in the deep layer, where pH values are lower. However, spectrophotometry without a pipette shows same values with potentiometry within their precision range. The pipetting procedure may remove of $CO_2$ in the sample, which causes increase of pH. Potentiometric titration methods using a closed-cell and an open-cell were compared for the total alkalinity measurement. Values from open cell method are smaller by about 5~10 ${\mu}mol\;kg^{-1}$ than those from closed cell method. This may be caused by the bubble formed in the closed cell during the experiment. Although any analytical method compared in this study for the pH or TA measurement can be applied, special attentions should be paid for satisfactory results.

Purpose : We evaluated the prevalence and clinical, microbiological features of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPT) in pediatric patients. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with EPT at The Catholic University of Korea, Incheon St. Mary's Hospital between 2000 and 2007. Results : Of 109 patients diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB), 12 patients (11%) were admitted with EPT. At 2006-2007, the proportion of patients with EPT among patients with TB was the highest (20%) comparing with last 6 years. The ratio of male to female patients was 1.4:1 and the mean age was 9.2 years (range, 3 months-15 years). The involved sites were pleura in 5 (41.6%), central nervous system in 3 (25%), miliary TB in 2 (16.7%), gastrointestinal tract in 1 (8.3%) and bone and joint in 1 (8.3%). The most common symptom at admission was fever (91.6%) and mean duration of fever was 15.8 days (range, 0-47 days) in spite of the proper treatment. Confirmed rate for acid fast bacillus stain, culture, and polymerase chain reaction were 33.3%, 41.6% and 41.6%. Of 5 culture proven cases, 4 (80%) were resistant to more than one antituberculosis drugs. Eleven patients recovered without complication and 1 patient died. Conclusion : Total incidence of TB decreased steadily according to the nationwide survey. However, our results suggest that the proportion of diagnosis with EPT among diagnosis with TB in children has increased. Microbiological diagnosis of EPT in children was more difficult than that of pulmonary TB. And drug resistance rate has increased.

초전도 응용기기 개발을 위해 필수적인 초전도 박막선재는 길이방향으로 임계전류밀도가 균일한 것이 요구되고 있다. 전체 길이에 대해 가장 임계전류 밀도가 낮은 지점에서 선재의 특성이 제한되기 때문이다. 한편 초전도 박막선재의 경우 높은 임계전류 밀도와 함께 과전류 등의 사고발생시를 고려하여 안정화재를 반드시 초전도층 위에 구성하여야 한다. 고가의 은(Ag)을 두껍게 증착할 수 없으므로 보통은 구리도금 또는 솔더링으로 안정화재를 덧댄다. 본 연구에서는 초전도 박막선재의 대전류화와 길이방향의 전류 균일성 향상, 안정화 특성 항상 등의 목적으로 초전도 박막선재간 확산 접합을 시도하였다. 초전도 박막선재 제조 후 안정화재인 은을 증착 후 따로 구리도금이나 솔더링 없이 선재 2가닥을 서로 포개어서 열처리를 하였다. 이때 선재간의 충분한 확산접합을 위하여 선재를 둥근 SUS 디스크에 감고 외부에 다시 SUS판재로 감아서 열처리 도중 압력을 가하였다. 아울러 포개는 방법도 초전도층의 위치에 따라 3 가지로 하였으며 열처리 후 임계전류를 측정하였다. 각 선재한 가닥에 대한 임계전류는 77K에서 50~60 A 정도의 임계전류를 나타내었으며 선재를 접합한 경우 90~120A의 특성을 나타내었으며 특히 초전도층이 설마주보는 형태에서 가장 높은 임계전류 특성을 나타내었다.

Between 2001 and 2006, 3 neonates that had multilevel left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and a ventricular septal defect underwent the Norwood-Rastelli procedure. The body weights ranged from 2.9 to 3.1 kg. The patients had a near normal sized mitral valve and left ventricle. We simultaneously performed a modified Norwood procedure with native tissues-to-tissue anastomosis without circulatory arrest, and a Rastelli type procedure using a non-valved conduit from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery and intracardiac patch baffling from the left ventricle to the pulmonary valve via the ventricular septal defect. The postoperative courses were uneventful. During follow-up, there was one late mortality caused by a cardiac catheterization related complication at 7 months after surgery, One patient required a Rastelli conduit change. Two patients are doing well during a follow-up period of 1 and 5 years, respectively.
