This is a report of successful conversion arterial switch operation for failed Sunning procedure in transposition of the great arteries(TGA) with ventricular septal defect(VSD). A 15 month-male patient was admitted due to intractable congestive heart failure after Sunning operation was done at the age of 8 months. Angiography revealed marked dysfunction of the morphologic right ventricle with tricuspid regurgitation and residual VSD. The pulmonary ventricle 1 systemic ventricle pressure ratio' of 75/85 at catheter study enabled us to do the take down of denning repair, patch closure of VSD and arterial switch without pulmonary artery banding. After the operation, the baby showed good growth with normal ventricular function.

본 논문에서는 차세대 스마트 TV 환경에서의 적응형 멀티스크린 서비스 시스템 구조를 제안하고, 이를 실제 스마트 TV 에 적용 가능하도록 프로토타입 시스템으로 구현한 결과를 보여준다. 제안 시스템은 적응형 콘텐츠 부호화 기술과 하이브리드 네트워크 전송 기술, 멀티스크린 서비스 발견 및 제어 기술을 포함하고 있다. 스마트 TV 를 중심으로 다양한 종류의 멀티스크린 장치가 연결되는 서비스 소비환경에 적응적인 콘텐츠를 제공하기 위해서 H.264/SVC 기반의 다계층 비디오 부호화/복호화 기법을 적용하였다. 또한, 다계층 부호화된 콘텐츠를 방송망과 인터넷 등 이종 멀티네트워크를 이용해 동시에 전송함으로써, 전송 대역의 가용성을 확장하는 하이브리드 네트워크 기반의 미디어 전송 기술과 UPnP 기반의 사용자 중심 멀티스크린 서비스 발견 및 이동기술을 제안한다. 기존의 멀티스크린 서비스가 단말의 소비환경에 비 적응적이고, 홈 네트워크 환경 및 플랫폼 폐쇄적인 환경에서 제공되는 단방향 멀티스크린 서비스인 반면, 본 논문에서 제안하는 적응형 멀티스크린 서비스 시스템은 네트워크 및 단말의 소비환경에 적응적이고 효과적인 웹 기반의 양방향 멀티스크린 서비스를 제공할 수 있다.

Extinguishment of a burning solid propellant is difficult, however, dynamic extinction can be induced by fast depressurization in combustion chamber. This paper describes experimental results for the characteristics of extinguishment for composite solid propellants by rapid depressurization. For various composition of solid propellants, depressurization ratio which can induce extinguishment of combustion was obtained using experimental apparatus with rupture disk. Experimental results showed that particle size of oxidizer, mixing ratio of oxidizers with different particle size and contents of metal fuel can affect on the characteristics extinguishement for solid propellant.

The testicular volume measured by a Prader orchidometer was compared with sperm count in semen, the levels of serum FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin, estradiol and progesterone in 59 nonobstructive infertile men. 1. The causes of infertility were primary hypogonadisms in 50 patients (35 unknown, 9 Klinefelter syndromes, 6 varicocels) and secondary hypogonadism in 9 (5 isolated FSH deficiencies, 1 hyperprolactinerriia, 3 pituitary hypogonadisms). 2. Decreased levels of serum FSH (less than 4 mIU/ml) did not correlate with testis volume but increased level of serum FSH (more than 20 mIU/ml) were mostly noted in the testis less than 10ml. 3. Decreased level of serum testosterone (less than 3 ng/ml) were distinguishably noted in the atrophied testis less than 5 ml. 4. There was no correlation between the testicular volume and the levels of serum prolactin, estradiol, and progesterone. Coclusively, testicular volume less than 11 ml suggests poor spermatogenesis, but normal testicular volume dose not nessarily rule out poor spermatogenesis. Function of Leydig cell is relatively well preserved in atrophied testis of 5 to 10 ml comparing with that of seminiferous tubule.

The onset of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in the postoperative course of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula is rarely reported. The diagnosis could be delayed due to its mimicking symptoms of other postoperative complications including gastroesophageal reflux or anastomotic stricture. We present an infant who had surgery for esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. He had never fed since birth. The infant presented with an increased amount of orogastric tube drainage and consistently distended gastric air on simple abdominal X-ray. Abdominal ultrasonography showed hypertrophic thick pyloric muscle. The diagnosis of pyloric stenosis was confirmed d is rarely reported. The diagnosis could be delayed due to its mimicking symptoms of other postoperative complications including gastroesophageal reflux or anastomotic stricture. We present an infant who had surgery for esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula. He had never fed. The infant presented with uring surgery, After pyloromyotomy, the patient's condition improved.

The surface microtopography of pyrophyllite collected from the Gussi deposit, Korea was observed by mean of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with the gold decoration technique. As results, closed step patterns with malformed circular islands were characteristically observed on the (001) surface of pyrophyllite, contrasting with spiral step patterns common in illite and kaolinite. Gussi pyrophyllite was likely crystallized from hydrothermal solution of higher temperature and/or higher supersaturation than those of other clay minerals. Comparing with micro-topographies of pyrophyllite from the Shokozan and the Uku deposits, southwest Japan, growth mechanism of Gussi pyrophyllite is almost equivalent to those from the Shokozan and the Uku deposits.

Implanting a pacemaker is the most often used intervention for treating bradycardia. The most commonly used pacemaker is the intracardiac pacemaker, yet it can have many complications. An infected pacemaker can spread to systemic infection and the condition of the patient can quickly get worse, so if an infected pacemaker is suspected, then the pacemaker must be removed. Apart from the use of interventional methods such as a loop or a weight, we can take a more aggressive approach by using extracorporeal circulation for removal of the pacemaker. We report here on two cases in which extracorporeal circulation was used to remove the infected pacemakers.

Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) encompasses all forms of mesenteric ischemia with patent mesenteric arteries. NOMI is commonly caused by decreased cardiac output resulting in hypoperfusion of peripheral mesenteric arteries. We report a case of NOMI secondary to hemorrhagic shock and rhabdomyolysis due to trauma. A 42-year-old man presented to our trauma center following a pedestrian trauma. On arrival, he was drowsy and in a state of hemorrhagic shock. He was found to have multiple fractures, both lung contusion and urethral rupture. An initial physical examination and abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan revealed no evidence of intra-abdominal injury. High doses of catecholamine were administered for initial 3 days due to unstable vital sign. On day 25 of hospitalization, follow-up abdominal CT scan demonstrated that short segment of small bowel loop was dilated and bowel wall was not enhanced. During exploratory laparotomy, necrosis of the terminal ileum with intact mesentery was detected and ileocecectomy was performed. His postoperative course was uneventful and is under rehabilitation.

Tracheal bronchus is an aberrant, accessory or ectopic bronchus arising almost invariably from the right lateral wall of the trachea and may be related to inflammatory conditions affecting the lung, including recurrent pneumonia, bronchiectasis. Recently we experienced a case of tracheal bronchus associated with pulmonary actinomycosis. The 37-year-old male patient had suffered recurrent hemoptysis and had been medicated as a presumptive diagnosis of tuberculosis, but either clinical or radiologic improvement was not seen. Right upper lobectomy was performed and pulmonary actinomycosis was confirmed by the histologic examination. Postoperatively, the patient was medicated with penicillin and ampicillin for 3 months and completely recovered without any evidence of recurrence during the 6month follow-up period.
