In this study, we measured shielding block correction factors for irregular fields and compared them with published data for the square blocked field. We devised a methods to measure the factors at an arbitrary depth in phantom. The measurements were performed for 12 shielding blocks used in radiation therapy. The measured correction factors for irregular blocked fields were consistent within $\pm$0.5% with those of the square blocked fields. Our results show that the shielding block correction factors for the typical square blocked fields can be used in clinical dose calculations for irregular blocked fields. However, for small fields, we suggest that verification be done by measurement.

임상용 모니터의 출력값 중 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것이 휘도이다. 최근 컬러 모니터의 임상용 사용으로 인해 출력값의 보정은 매우 중요하게 관리되고 있다. 색보정 변위의 특성화가 휘도와 동일한 인자로 영향을 주는지 분석하기 위해 사용된 특성화 보정 모델은 GOG모델과 S-curve모델 이다. 두 개의 모델을 통해 모니터의 휘도는 장치의 출력과 직접적인 관계가 있다는 것을 증명하고 동일한 출력에 입력값을 가질 수 있도록 구성하고자 한다. 동일한 출력을 디스플레이 할 경우 동일한 출력값을 얻어야 한다. 그러나 모니터에 따라 서로 다른 출력값을 산출한다. 컬러모니터의 경우는 출력의 안정성에 휘도뿐만 아니라, 색감(R,G,B) 변화가 큰 역할을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 분석인자 중 대조도에 영향을 주는 인자를 역추적하여 특성화 보정 S-curve모델을 LCD에 적용하였다. 이는 GOG모델을 적용한 CRT와 동일한 결과를 얻었다. 따라서 인자는 CIEXYZ의 결과값과 동일한 인자를 구할 수 있다.

This study evaluated the efficacy of soluble canine small intestinal submucosa gel in comparison to bovine thrombin in activating rabbit platelet rich plasma (PRP) by detecting growth factors. PRP from rabbits was activated by using soluble canine SIS gel, bovine thrombin, or both. The surface morphology of each group of samples was examined by scanning electron microscopy. The release of transforming growth factor (TGF)-${\beta}1$ from each set of samples was measured over 7 days using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The PRP-canine SIS gel group exhibited the highest total amount of released TGF-${\beta}1$. However, there were no significant differences between any groups. The use of soluble type of canine SIS gel could be an effective alternative to bovine thrombin.

Gangwon-do has been suffering extensive landslide dam age, because its geography consists mainly of mountains. Analyzing the related factors is crucial for landslide prediction. We digitized the landslide and non-landslide spots on an aerial photo obtained right after a disaster in Inje, Gangwon-do. Three landslide factors-topographic, forest type, and soil factors-w ere statistically analyzed through GIS overlap analysis between topographic map, forest type map, and soil map. The analysis showed that landslides occurred mainly between the inclination of $20^{\circ}$ and $35^{\circ}$, and needleleaf tree area is more vulnerable to a landslide. About soil properties, an area with shallow effective soil depth and parent material of acidic rock has a greater chance of landslide.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) testing is a test that precisely assesses cerebrovascular and coronary heart diseases. According to many previous studies, CIMT predicts atherosclerosis and is highly correlated to cardiovascular disease risk factors. It has also been reported that CIMT is an independent predictor of risk factors for myocardial infarction and stroke. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate CIMT and other independent factors through a correlation study with the clinical laboratory test results of a blood test. As a result, this study could not prove the correlation between CIMT and risk factors of cardiovascular disease (TC, TG, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol) due to an insufficient number of subjects. Nevertheless, a positive correlation was demonstrated between CIMT and ALT (p<0.05), GGT (p<0.05), Uric acid (p<0.05), and CEA (p<0.05) at a statistically significant level, suggesting a continuation of the study.

The clinical staging system for laryngeal cancers is not sufficient for prognosticator due to different biologic characteristics and their microenvironment according to primary sites. For determining the prognosticators, the authors peformed immunohistochemical staining to EGFR, p53 protein, and pRB in 40 cases of surgically treated squamous cell carcinomas of larynx in our institute during the past 5 years. The results are as followings; 1. The positive expression rate of p53 protein and negative expression rate of pRB showed correlations with clinical parameters. 2. The three-year survival rate for p53 protein positive cases was worse than the p53 protein negative cases. 3. Expression rate of EGFR was not correlated with the clinical parameters. As a conclusion, expression rates of p53 protein and pRB not only reflect well the biologic behavior of laryngeal cancer, but correlate closely with the tumor factors. Therefore they may be useful as the prognosticator to predict the malignant potency of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas.
