피부에 나타나는 난치성 질환인 백반증은 심리적인 위축감을 주어 정상적인 생활에 지장을 줄 수 있는 질병이다. 이에 따라서 본 연구에서는 피부에 나타나는 백반증의 진행 상태를 판단하기 위하여 L*a*b* 컬러 공간으로 변환된 피부 영상에 Otsu 임계값 설정 기법을 적용하여 백반증의 발병 영역을 자동으로 판별하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

Objectives : This study was aimed to investigate the emotional state and personality factors of patients with vitiligo, and the impacts of clinical characteristics. Methods : Twenty one patients with vitiligo and 20 normal controls were studied. Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), Spielberg's State and Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) and Cattell's 16 Personality Factors Questionnaire(16-PF) were used for assessment. Statistically, t-test, Oneway ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson's correlation test were used. Results : The Results were as follows. 1) The comparison of total score of BDI, state anxiety and trait anxiety between the patients with vitiligo and normal controls were not significantly different. 2) In first-stratum source traits of 16-PF, normal control group was significantly higher than the patients with vitiligo in H-factor(Boldness) and I-factor(Tender-mindedness). In second-stratum source traits of 16-PF, there was no significant difference between the patients with vitiligo and normal control in all factors. 3) According to sex, the comparison of total scores of BDI, STAI between male and female patients with vitiligo were not significantly different. In the comparison of 16-PF, female patients were higher than male patients in I-factor only. 4) As according to age(under and over 30 years of age), the comparison of total scores of BDI, STAI between patients over 30 years of age and under 30 years of age were not significantly different. In the comparison of 16-PF, patients over 30 years of age were higher than patients under 30 years of age in E-, G-, L-, M-, Q2-, Q3-, IND-, SUP-, and CRE-factor. 5) As according to the presence of progression of vitiligo and the presence of visible lesion, the comparison of total scores of BDI, STAI and 16-PF were not significantly different. 6) There were no significant correlation between the duration of the vitiligo and BDI, STAI-S, STAI-T, and 16-PF. Conclusions : There were no significant difference between patients with vitiligo and normal controls on the emotional state and personality characteristics. But patients with vitiligo were more bolder and tender-minded than normal controls on 16-PF. The author propose that methods of treatment to resolve problems of the interpersonal relations will be helpful.

Traditional paste materials and additives for investigation were selected through careful literature survey. We used the immersed glutinous rice flour, soybean as a traditional paste materials and a yellow wax, alum, and lime as additives. The effect of additives on viscosity, pH, adhesive strength, flexibility, antibacterial activities, mildew resistance, and conservation properties were examined. It was found that there was a relationship between the properties(viscosity, pH, and adhesive strength) and the characteristics of additives. Alum increased flexibilty but decreased viscosity, adhesive strength, and pH. Yellow wax deceased flexibilty, viscosity, adhesive strength, and pH. Lime increased flexibilty, viscosity, adhesive strength, and pH. The conservation properties increased by adding all additive. The present work was therefore carried out with the objective of offering the base datum for keeping traditional papers and textiles using traditional paste.

This has been carried out how the sericin insoluble fixations of raw silk should be with potassium alum. This is learned from the leather tanning technique which the process works with collagen, a kind of proteins. Former reports had shown such works, however, they did not consider the moisture absorbability after their process reports by using chromium alum, formalin or vinyl acetate grafting. This report, however, paid attention to protect such absorbability as well as sericin fixation, so far it may be useful for plactical use of silk. In order to clear how the sericin is fixed with such chemicals, fundermental mechanism of weding process and chemical reaction against proteins were also discussed. The obtained results of the report are as followings. 1. Alum should not be treated for raw silk with high temperature bath like other reports because such treat induces raw silk to be stiffly after the treat. 2. It is recommended that raw silk should be treated with alum solution at room temperature for more than three hours. Even in this case, the use of only alum with raw silk could to fix sericin some how, but it increased the water proofness of the silk. 3. 1% of alum solution was found to be able to fix the sericin of raw silk. 4. In case we consider only sericin fixations, a combination treat of 1% alum for three hours and 0.5% NaOH for ten minutes method showed the best result. 5. In case we consider sericin insoluble fixation and moisture absorbility, the reversive combination of the above process was found to be the best results. 6. Sericin fixing evidence was shown with drying feature curves of wed each treated silk where we could to analyze how the chemical nature is changed after each treat. 7. Deguming ratio may be obtained up to 4.3% after the alum combination treat with regular raw silk. Such ratio was considered to be good enough for the purpose when the textile is washed with warm soap water. 8. Moisture absorbability of the combination treat of alum and NaOH was found to be good enough as well as non treated silk. 9. The tenacity and elongation of the treated silk did not change even after three month. 10. Above all, this method is considered to be better process than other coloured fixing (tannin method. Cr-alum method) or smell fixing (formalin method. vinyl acetate method).

Irritation fibroma (IF) is the most common tumor-like oral lesion that is evolved by proliferation of collagen in response to chronic irritation. Oral leukoplakia (OL) is considered as precancerous lesion characterized by proliferation of epithelial cells due to chronic irritation, smoking and drinking. TGF-${\beta}1$ and EGFR are important factors that play an essential role in extracellular matrix remodeling during normal wound healing process. The epithelial reaction by chronic irritation may be connected with pathogenesis of IF and OL. In the present study, we examined the expression of TGF-${\beta}1$ and EGFR in the IF and OL using immunohistochemistry. We used 88 cases of IF, 44 cases of OL and 9 cases of normal oral mucosa as normal control. TGF-${\beta}1$ was decreased in the epithelium of IF and OL. As for EGFR, the epithelial cells revealed the increased positive expression in IF and OL. In case of OL, the Spearman correlation coefficient of TGF-${\beta}1$ and EGFR was -0.10 (p< 0.05), which showed weak correlation. In the fibrous tissue, TGF-${\beta}1$ was increased only in IF. The expression difference of TGF-${\beta}1$ and EGFR may be involved in the pathogenesis of IF and OL.
