Purpose : This study was performed to compare complications and perinatal factors according to the birth weight groups in the infants of diabetic mothers(IDM). Methods : Three hundred and one singleton diabetic mothers and their babies of more than 30 weeks' gestational age admitted in the department of Pediatrics, Chonnam University Hospital from January 1996 to March 2002 were enrolled. Complications and perinatal factors were compared between large for gestational age(LGA) and appropriated for gestational age(AGA) infants. Results : Hypomagnesemia was observed in 37.5%, jaundice in 21.3%, hypoglycemia in 11.1%, hypocalcemia in 7.0%, and birth injury in 19.6%. Congenital anomaly was noted in 24.9% with cardiovascular anomaly most commonly. In the LGA group, the frequencies of jaundice, hypoglycemia, tachypnea, and birth injuries were higher, and the interventricular septum was thicker than the AGA group. In the LGA group, Cesarean section rate, maternal height, weight before pregnancy, weight gain during pregnancy, and the incidence of unawareness of gestational DM were significant compared with the AGA group. Conclusion : In the LGA group, the frequencies of jaundice, hypoglycemia, tachypnea, and birth injuries were higher, and the interventricular septum was thicker than the AGA group. In the LGA group, maternal height, weight before pregnancy and weight gain during pregnancy were larger, and the incidence of unawareness of gestational DM was higher compared with the AGA group. These results suggest that careful examination and management are needed to detect the high risk, pregnant DM mothers with possible LGA babies.

Purpose : Perinatal hepatitis B viral infection is decreasing; however, 10% of babies to HBeAg positive mothers still become chronic carriers despite perinatal prophylaxis. Although, the cause of prophylaxis failure is still unclear, an importance of maternal HBV-DNA level at the delivery time has been suggested. This study was established to certify if it would be a useful predictable factor for the outcome of perinatal prophylaxis. Methods : Twenty-nine HBeAg positive mothers whose babies had known outcomes of prophylaxis were selected. To determine the amount of maternal HBV-DNA, a quantitative PCR was performed with the WHO International Standard for HBV DNA NAT assays. Results : The mean logarithm HBV-DNA level of mothers with failed outcomes was significantly higher than that of mothers with succeessful outcomes (7.99 vs. 6.72, P=0.015). The predictable maternal HBV-DNA cut-off level to prophylaxis outcome was $2.83{\times}10^7copies/mL$ (100 pg/mL). None out of the case 16 (0%) who had below this level, and 5 out of 13 (38.5%) who had above this level of maternal HBV-DNA failed in perinatal prophylaxis. Conclusion : Mothers with higher levels of HBV-DNA at delivery time would be prone to a worse outcome of prophylaxis using the conventional approach. Perinatal prophylaxis failure rate can be reduced, if we try to introduce more potent prophylactic treatment into the cases with this risk factor.

본 연구는 3차원 삼각 메쉬의 기하 데이터 압축을 위해 지역 좌표계를 이용한 알고리즘을 소개한다. 기존의 지역 좌표계를 이용한 기하 데이터 처리 방식은 전역 좌표계를 이용한 방식에 비해 높은 압축률을 보여준다. 하지만, 각 메쉬에 적합한 지역 좌표계 3개의 축에 대한 양자화 수(quantization number)를 결정하는 어려움 때문에 실용성 측면에서 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서 새로 제안하는 지역 좌표계를 이용한 방법은 지역 좌표계 안에서 점의 위치를 기술할 때에 오직 분할 깊이(subdivision level)만을 필요로 한다. 분할 깊이 값을 크게 할수록 점의 위치를 정확하게 기술할 수 있다. 본 연구는 보다 정밀한 점 위치의 기술을 위해 $16(2{\times}2{\times}2{\times}4)$개의 subcell을 갖는 균일하지 않은 분할을 가지고 실험을 하였다. 본 연구의 새로운 압축/압축해제기는 기존 기하 데이터 압축과 비슷한 효율성을 유지하면서 실용성 면에서 중요한 압축률과 왜곡간의 제어를 직관적이고 단순하게 할 수 있도록 한다.

In this study, the sterilization ability of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa was evaluated using a plasma generator with a flexible electrode structure. Both strains were prepared at a concentration of 1.5×106 CFU/mL and inoculated and spread evenly on two medium plates. The medium were kept at a distance of 3 cm and 9 cm from the plasma generator and were plasma discharged from 30 sec to 10 minutes. The growth of colonies on the media, were subsequently compared with the control group. The mean colonies of S. aureus formed at a 3 cm distance were 9.2×102 (log value 2.96) CFU/mL for the 5 min discharge period and 8.0×10 (1.90) CFU/mL for the 10 min discharge period. When the medium was exposed for 5 min and 10 min at a 9 cm distance, the mean colonies of S. aureus formed were 2.16×103 (3.33) and 2.4×102 (2.38) CFU/mL, respectively. The medium containing P. aeruginosa kept at a 3 cm distance and exposed to 3, 5, 10-minute discharge, did not form any colonies. When kept at a 9 cm distance for 3 minutes, 6.0×102 (2.78) CFU/mL mean colonies were formed but no colonies were formed at exposure periods of 5 and 10 minutes. This enhanced sterilization effect was confirmed in experiments of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa using TiO2.

In this paper, a novel voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) using the open loop multiple split ring resonator(OLMSRR) is presented for improving the phase noise, implemented in 130 nm CMOS technology. Compared with the conventional CMOS LC resonator, the proposed CMOS OLMSRR has the larger coupling coefficient value, which makes a higher Q-factor, and has improved the phase noise of the VCO. The proposed CMOS VCO based OLMSRR has the phase noise of -99.67 dBc/Hz @ 1 MHz in the oscillation frequency. Compared with the VCO using the conventional CMOS LC resonator and the proposed VCO using the CMOS OLMSRR structure has been improved in 7 dB. The prototype 24 GHz CMOS VCO is implemented in 130 nm CMOS and occupies a compact die area of $0.7\;mm{\times}0.9\;mm$.

The present study was carried out to investigate effects of various factors such as sire, bovine leukemia virus(BLV) carrier/non-carrier, parity, calving month and lactation periods on somatic cell count(SCC) and milk components in dairy cows. The animals calved from January 2001 to March 2004. Milk samples were collected every 30 $\pm$ 5 days in milk(DlM), and somatic cell count and milk components were analysed by Somascope MK2/Lactoscope FTIR Bovine Leukemia Virus(BLV) was detected by ELISA method. The lactation periods were divided into five periods; (1) 30DIM, (2) 31 to 6ODIM, (3) 61 to 120DIM, (4) 121 to 180DIM, and (5) more than 180DIM. The level of SCC and milk components in all lactation periods were significantly affected by sire, parity, calving month, lactation period and BLV carrier/non-carrier. The results suggest that BLV carrier/non-carrier analysis in a herd may be necessary if milk quality is low owing to a high SCC. BLV carrier/non-carrier did not affect milk protein content for all lactation periods.

본 논문은 칼라 성분들간의 차분 영상과 휘도 영상을 이용하여 산출한 색차 휘도합 영상을 대상으로 블록에 기반한 영상 분할을 수행하여 객체의 형상 정보를 추출함으로써 분할 특성을 개선한 블록 기반 칼라 영상 분할 기법에 관한 것이다. 우선, R, G, B 영상들 간의 차분 성분들을 구하여 합산한 후, 이를 정규화하여 색차합 영상을 구한다. 다음으로 화소 단위로 휘도 영상의 상위 2비트와 정하화된 색차합 영상의 하위 6비트를 결합하여 색차 휘도합 영상을 얻는다. 이후, 기설정된 크기의 블록으로 분할된 색차 휘도합 영상의 각 블록을 질감 블록과 단순 블록 및 에지 블록으로 분류하고 각 유형의 블록별로 병합한 후, 기설정된 마커 배정 규칙에 따라 선택적으로 마커를 부여한다. 마지막으로, 마커가 부여되지 않은 블록을 대상으로 화소 단위의 워터쉐드 알고리즘을 적용함으로써 자연스러운 형상 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 고찰할 때, 제안된 방범은 질감 영역에서의 과분할의 문제와 과도한 연산량의 부담을 효과적으로 경감시킬 수 있으나, 더불어, 영상 분할용 파라미터들의 민감도가 낮아 서로 다른 화소 분포 특성온 갖는 영상들에 전역적인 파라미터들사용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 특히, 색차 휘도합 영상에 반영된 색차 성분에 힘입어 저대조 경계면에서의 분할 특성을 현저히 개선시킬 수 있는 이점이 있다.

Purpose : It is well known that suspension microlaryngeal surgery produces marked increases in arterial blood pressure and heart rate. In this study, we evaluated the effects of 10% lidocaine preoperatively sprayed for attenuation of the perioperative hemodynamic response during suspension microlaryngeal surgery. Materials and Methods : Fifty American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class 1 patients scheduled for excision of a vocal polyp by suspension laryngoscopy were randomly divided into two groups (n=25 for each group). They were intubated without 10% lidocaine spray (control group) or given 1.5 mg/kg of 10% lidocaine sprayed onto the pharyngolaryngeal and intratracheal sites 90 sec prior to intubation (10% lidocaine group). Anesthesia was maintained using desflurane in $O_2/N_2O$ 50%. The arterial blood pressure and heart rate were measured at preinduction (T0), 1 min (T1), 3 min (T2), 5 min (T3) after tracheal intubation, and 1 min (T4), 3 min (T5), 5 min (T6) and 10 min (T7) after the suspension laryngoscopy. Results : In the 10% lidocaine group, the arterial blood pressure and heart rate at 1 (T1), 3 (T2) min after tracheal intubation and 1 (T4), and 3 (T5) min after suspension laryngoscopy were lower than the same measurements in the control group. Conclusion : 10% lidocaine sprayed onto the pharyngolaryngeal and intratracheal sites before intubation was an effective method for attenuation of the perioperative hemodynamic response during suspension microlaryngeal surgery.
