The study aimed to compare the validity between the abdominal ultrasonographic(US) grading system of fatty liver and histologic grading system of fatty liver in living liver donor candidates. As the fatty liver is defined as pathologic total fat >10%, US validity was sensitivity 64.6%, specificity 68%, positive predictive value 76.8%, negative predictive value 54%. As the strict data handling on US grading normal, mild fatty liver are negative, moderate fatty liver is positive, US validity was sensitivity 26.8%, specificity 100%, positive predictive value 100%, negative predictive value 45.5%. ROC curve analysis according to different cut off value of liver-to-kidney brightness ratio was Area under ROC curve=0.859(95% CI=0.795~0.922, state variable= total fat 10%). There were statistically significant difference( p<0.001). Ultrasonography for the fatty diagnosis showed a high validity to predict the result of histology grade of fatty liver.

Purpose: Several studies report that detection of thyroglobulin (Tg) in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy washout fluid from lymph nodes identifies recurrences or metastases of differentiated papillary thyroid cancer (DPTC) in the neck with higher sensitivity and specificity than fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). We evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and usefulness of Tg measurement in FNA washout fluid (FNA-Tg) and compare with FNAC. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight FNA samples of 37 patients who undergone ultrasonography to detect cervical lymph node metastasis of DPTC, were included for this study. Lymph node metastasis was confirmed by histopathologic examination or long-term imaging follow-up. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of FNA-Tg and FNAC were calculated. In 34 patients, we evaluated diagnostic accuracy of FNA-Tg according to the presence or absence of Tg antibody. Results: Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of FNAC were 75.0%, 97.2% and 91.7%, respectively, and those of FNA-Tg were 100%, 88.9% and 91.7%, respectively. The presence of Tg antibody was not relevant to the diagnostic accuracy of FNA-Tg. Conclusion: FNA-Tg is a as accurate as FNAC with higher sensitivity. FNA-Tg and FNAC are complement techniques for diagnosing lymph node metastasis of DTPC.

Measured values may differ between Multi-Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP), Praat, and Time-Frequency Analysis software (TF32), all of which are widely used in voice quality analysis, due to differences in the algorithms used in each analyzer. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the values of parameters of normal voice measured with each analyzer. After tokens of the vowel sound /a/ were collected from 35 normal adult subjects (19 male and 16 female), they were analyzed with MDVP, Praat, and TF32. The mean values obtained from Praat for jitter variables (J local, J abs, J rap, and J ppq), shimmer variables (S local, S dB, and S apq), and noise-to-harmonics ratio (NHR) were significantly lower than those from MDVP in both males and females (p<.01). The mean values of J local, J abs, and S local were significantly lower in the order MDVP, Praat, and TF32 in both genders. In conclusion, the measured values differed across voice analyzers due to the differences in the algorithms each analyzer uses. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to analyze pathologic voice after understanding the normal criteria used by each analyzer when they use a voice analyzer in clinical practice.

범인의 음성을 녹취하여 본격적으로 컴퓨터를 이용하여 음향분석을 하는 것은 스펙트로그래프가 등장하는 1940년대 말 이전에는 없었다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 그러나 청지각적인 문제는 아마 수 백년 전부터 법정에서 논란이 있었을 것으로 추정한다. 영국에서는 이미 1660년에 법정에서 청지각적인 검사를 시행하였다는 기록이 있으며, 미국에서는 20세기 초엽에 플로리다 주에서 이미 청지각적인 증거를 법정에서 채택하였다는 기록이 있다. 오늘날 범죄음성에 대한 연구는 무고한 어린이의 유괴와 폭발물 설치협박 등과 같은 죄질이 무거운 범죄에 이용되기 때문에 문제가 심각한 실정이다.

Purpose : To evaluate the voices of irradiated patients with early glottic carcinoma and to compare these with the voices of healthy volunteers. Materials and Methods : The voice samples (sustained vowel) of seventeen male patients who had been irradiated for T1a glottic squamous carcinoma at least 1 year prior to the study were analyzed with objective voice analyzer (acoustic voice analysis, aerodynamic test, and videostroboscopic analysis) and compared with those of a normal group of twenty age- and sex-matched volunteers. Average fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, and noise-to-harmonic ratio were obtained for acoustic voice analysis. Maximal phonation time, mean flow rate, intensity, subglottic pressure, glottal resistance, glottal efficiency, and glottal power were obtained for aerodynamic test. Results : The irradiated group presented higher values of shimmer in acoustic voice analysis. There was no significant difference between two groups in other parameters. Conclusion : In this study all the objective voice parameters except shimmer were no4 significantly different between the irradiated group and the control group. These results suggest that the voice quality is minimally affected by radiation therapy for 71 a glottic carcinoma.

한국어 음성인식 결과의 형태소 분석은 한국어 문서의 분석보다 더 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 음성 인식의 낮은 인식률, 여러 개의 후보를 제시하는 경우의 지수적 가능성, 말하는 단위와 띄어쓰기 단위의 불일치, 형태소 안에서 그리고 형태소와 형태소 사이에서 일어나는 음운 변동등이 음성 인식 결과를 분석할 때 추가되는 문제점이다. 본 논문에서는 한 음소에 대해 여러 개의 후보를 제시하는 음성 인식 결과에 대하여, TRIE 인덱싱, 어절 간의 접속을 위한 확장된 접속 검사, 음운 변동을 고려한 사전구성, 음운 접속 정보를 사용하는 형태소 분석 방법을 제안한다.

Purpose : To evaluate the diagnostic value of dipstick urinalysis($Multistix^{(R)}$) as a screening test for urinary tract infection(UTI) in acute febrile children. Methods : We compared dipstick uinalysis (leukocyte estease(LE) and nitrite) with microscopic urinalysis (WBC and bacteria) and urine culture in 80 children with UTI and 605 children without UTI, who were admitted due to acute fever at EWHA Womans University Hospital between Oct. 1994 and Feb. 1996. Results : 1) In dipstick urinalysis, LE and nitrite were positive in 38.7%, and 13.8% of 80 children with UTI and in 2.1%. and 1.2% of 605 children without UTI. 2) In microscopic urinalysis, WBC and bacteria were positive in 31.2%, and 17.5% of 80 children with UTI and in 4.1%, and 0.6% of 605 children without UTI. 3) Positive rate of LE on dipstick urinalysis was 38.7%, which was significantly higher than 31.5% of WBC on microscopic urinalysis (P<0.05). Positive rate of nitrite was not significantly different to that of bacteria. 4) Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of dipstick urinalysis were 43.7%, 98.3%, 63.6%, 92.9% which were not significant different to 40.0%, 99.0%, 54.0%, 92.3% of microscopic urinalysis. The sensitivity of combined dipstick and microscopic urinalysis were still low(50%). 5) Additional positive rate of microscopic urinalysis to negative dipstick urinalysis was 6.3%(5/80) in 80 children with UTI. Conclusion : The sensitivity of dipstick urinalysis was low and additional value of microscopic urinalysis was minimal in febrile UTI. So urine culture is mandatory in acute febrile children even though dipstick and microscopic urinalysis are negative.
