Purpose: Too develop a flexible drill device that can be inserted into the shoulder joint so that arthroscopic transosseous suture repair for Bankart lesion is possible. Materials and Methods: We created a device composed of a flexible drill unit and a guide pipe unit. The flexible drill unit was made of flexible multifilament wires (1.2 mm in diameter) that was twisted into one cord so that it can flex in any direction and a drill bit (1.2 mm in diameter) that is attached onto one end of the flexible wire. The guide pipe unit was a 150 mm long metal pipe (2.0 mm in inner diameter and 3.0 mm in outer diameter), with one end bent to 30 degrees. The flexible drill set was inserted into the shoulder joint through the posterior portal of the joint. The guide pipe component was placed onto the medial wall of the glenoid so that the pipe was placed 5 mm posterior to the margin of the anterior glenoid rim. The flexible drill was driven through the glenoid by the power drill so that holes were made in the glenoid. A non- absorbable suture was passed through the hole. Tying of a sliding knot tying was accomplished over the capsule and labrum after making a stitch through the capsule and labrum with a suture hook loaded with suture passer. The same procedures were done at the 2 and 4 O'Clock positions of the glenoid. Results: Five cases with Bankart lesion received arthroscopic transosseous repair with our flexible drill device. There were no intraoperative problems. Neither redislocation nor subluxation was reported at final follow-up. Conclusion: Arthroscopic transosseous suture repair without suture anchors and easy tying of a sliding knot are possible with a flexible drill set.

Punctured convolutional codes increase transmission efficiency without increasing hardware complexity. However, Viterbi decoder supporting punctured codes requires long decoding length and large survivor memory to achieve sifficiently low bit error rate (BER), when compared to the Viterbi decoder for a rate 1/2 convolutional code. This Paper presents novel architecture adopting a pipelined trace-forward unit reducing survivor memory requirements in the Viterbi decoder. The proposed survivor path architecture reduces the memory requirements by removing the initial decoding delay needed to perform trace-back operation and by accelerating the trace-forward process to identify the survivor path in the Viterbi decoder. Experimental results show that the area of survivor path unit has been reduced by 16％ compared to that of conventional hybrid survivor path unit.

Esophageal perforation occurred rarely, but it leads to a high mortality and morbidity. Main cause of esophageal perforation in Korea is instrumental perforation in patients with lye stricture of esophagus during diagnostic endoscopy or therapeutic bouginage. A case of 25-year-old male patient entered to outpatient clinic. Chief complaints were mild pain at swallowing, mild fever elevation and chest tightness with radiating pain to shoulder and interscapular region for 1 day. On the X-ray film with barium soaked cotton piece in esophagus, it was revealed that foreign body (fish bone) had been located on the level of 2nd vertebra with leakage of barium to mediastinum. The foreign body was removed with endoscopy in Dept. of otolaryngology, and cervical mediastinostomy was performed in Dept. of thoracic surgery.

식도 천공의 치료는 최근 치료법의 발전에도 불구하고 여전히 난해한 문제이다. 이 환자들은 천공의 원인이나 위치, 심한 정도가 다양한 이질적인 군이며, 반수 이상이 이미 식도에 기존의 질환을 가지고 있어 문제를 더욱 복잡하게 한다. 따라서 절대적이고 획일적인 치료방법은 아직 확립되어 있지 않으며 많은 다양한 방법들이 제시되고 있다. 2002년 11월부터 2003년 7월까지 총 8명의 환자가 식도 천공으로 동아대학교병원 흥부외과에서 치료를 받았으며, 원인별로는 의인성(iatrogenic) 손상이 6례, 자발성(spontaneous) 손상이 2례였고 부위별로는 경부가 3례, 흥부가 5례였다. 의인성 손상에는 내시경 검사중 정상 경부 식도에 발생한 1례, 부식성 식도협착 환자의 풍선 확장술과 스텐트 삽입시 흉부 식도에 발생한 경우가 각각 1례씩, 외상성 경추손상의 수술시 정상 경부 식도에 발생한 경우가 2례, 선천성 식도폐쇄증(esophageal atresia)의 술후 문합부 누출이 생긴 경우가 1례 있었으며, 자발성 손상에는 하부식도에 발생한 기압성(barogenic) 손상 1례와 상흉부 식도암 천공 1례가 있었다. 경부 식도 천공 3례는 모두 경부 배액(drainage)과 식이용 장루술(feeding jejunostomy)을 시행하였고, 부식성 식도협착이 있던 환자 2례는 식도절제술과 흉부내 식도-위 문합을 시행하였으며, Boerhaave씨 증후군 환자는 1차 봉합술, 술후 문합부 유출이 있었던 환자와 식도암 천공이 있었던 환자는 식도절제 및 경부 식도루(esophagostomy), 배액용 위루(gastrostomy), 식이용 장루술을 시행하였다. 모든 환자는 패혈증 등의 심각한 합병증으로의 진행 없이 회복되었다. 현재 위장관의 연속성이 유지 혹은 복원된 환자는 경구식이 중이며 그 외의 환자들은 장루를 통해 영양을 공급하며 식도재건술을 기다리고 있다. 식도 천공은 최근 항생제의 사용, 과영양요법(hyperalimentation), 술후 환자관리의 개선 등으로 치료에 많은 발전이 있었으나, 치료 방침에 있어서는 여전히 논란이 있으며 높은 사망률을 보이는 난제로 남아있다. 비록 일반적인 지침이 도움이 되겠지만, 치료 방침은 환자 개개인의 상황에 따라 적절하게 선택해야 하며, 임상경과에 따라 언제라도 방침을 변경할 수 있는 유연함이 필요하리라 생각한다.

식도내 이물은 종종 어린이나 식도질환을 가진 환자, 죄수들, 정신박약자 및 정신질환자등의 위험성이 높은 성인에서 흔히 발생한다. 그러나 대부분의 이물은 저절로 위장관을 통과하나 날카롭고 뾰족하며 긴 이물은 위장관의 천공이나 혈관과 누공형성 및 다른 합병증을 초래할 수도 있다. 이물의 섭취는 대개 환자나 다른 목격자에 의하여 복용한 병력으로 진단할 수 있다. 그러나 어린이나 정신박약자는 병력을 얻을 수 없기 때문에 우선 의심하는 것이 중요한 진단방법이 될 수밖에 없다. 연하곤란과 연하통은 식도이물의 통상적인 증상이다. 주변기도의 압박으로 인한 호흡기 증상은 어린이에 흔하며 종종 성인에서도 관찰된다. 식도내 이물을 제거하는데 많이 사용되는 방법은 굴곡형내시경을 사용하여 제거하는 것이다. 이방법은 성인이나 어린이에서 전신마취없이 기존의 진정제 투여방법으로 시술할 수 있다. 이물제거에 사용되는 파지겸자와 올가미는 내시경이물제거술을 가능하게 하였고 굴곡형내시경에 사용되는 overtube는 기존의 강직 형내시경의 장점을 얻을 수 있어 뽀족하거나 날카로운 이물을 제거하는데 사용하게 되었다. 이런 내시경적이물제거 원칙을 잘 지키고 적절한 준비가 된다면 합병증이 거의 없이 98% 정도의 이물을 제거할 수 있다. 내시경을 사용하지 않는 여러 가지 방법은 천공의 위험성이 높고 흡인성폐렴을 유발할 수 있기 때문에 사용하지 않는 것이 낫다. 수술적인 처치는 천공이 되었거나 다른 이물로 인한 합병증이 있는 경우에만 드물게 적용된다.

This paper presents a linear path control algorithm for NeuroMate robot in a skull drilling system. For the path control inverse kinematics of the robot is analyzed and a linear interpolation algorithm is presented. A geometric approach is used for solving inverse kinematic equations for the robot. Four feasible solutions are found through the approach. The approach gives geometric insights for selecting the best solution from the feasible solutions. The presented linear interpolation algorithm computes a next position considering current velocity and remaining distance to the target position. Presented algorithm is implemented and tested in a skull drilling system.

To alter the paddy field to upland, mole drainages were constructed under 30cm of the surface of(Jeon buk silt loam) which is not appropriate for cultivation of upland crops. Intervals of the moles were 50cm, 100cm and 150cm and diverted to upland for soybean cultivation. By construction of the mole drainage, about 75% to 45% of the rainfall was drained and the ground water level was maintained below 40cm. After a year of drainage, the blocky surface was changed to granular or nutty structure which is common in upland fields. Oxidation was progressed to the deep layer because of soil dryness. Soybean yield were increased by 11% to 22% in the mole drained plots, but wet injury was occurred in the nontreated check plot with relatively poor growth status.

Foreign body in the esophagus is not uncommon in the otolaryngological field and esophageal perforation followed by mediastinitis is one of the most serious complications. Authors had experienced such case developed in 69 year old female patient. This woman swallowed a piece of sharp glass accidentally. Severe pain and swelling around the neck developed after ingestion. Marked subcutaneous emphysema was noted on first examination. By esophagoscopy, longitudinal laceration at right lateral wall of the cervical esophagus was noted and a lot of food debries were removed through this perforation, but foreign body could not be found. On third hospital day, patient complained chest pain and dyspnea. Mediastinal widening was noted on chest P-A. Tracheostomy was performed on next day and neck swelling decreased much. In spite of massive antibiotics, mediastinal abscess was developed and external drainage was performed on 15th hospital day. She was discharged on 38th hospital day with marked improvement and recovered completely on follow-up study. Still, we do not know where the foreign body is located.

The plastic culture bottle cap types and accumulated concentration of carbon dioxide, media humidity in the process of medium culture, chitin content and yield were observed in Pleurotus ostreatus 850ml bottle in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do, Korea, during 2011. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the process of medium culture was the highest after 8~9 days cultivation irrespective of cap sizes and types. The accumulated concentration of carbon dioxide in size cap of 29~41mm was 6.5~4.0% in the upper-under perforation hole of cap and 9.0~6.5% in the under perforation hole of cap. The upper-under 23~33mm perforation hole and under 29mm perforation hole of caps in the 850ml bottle were best condition for cultivation of mushroom and increased fruit body, 15.8~21.2% and 20%, respectively. However, the upper-under & under 41mm perforation hole of fruit body were decreased 60.7% and 23.6%, respectively. Also it was weak, lose vitality and the lower of biologically activity substance because the upper medium humidity was too dry.

연골 결손은 자체 치유 능력이 적어 그 크기가 1 cm 이상인 경우 골관절염이 발생할 수 있다. 최근에는 3-tesla MRI 등의 발전으로 인해 수술 전에 미리 연골 손상을 정확히 진단할 수 있어 연골 손상의 치료를 더욱 적극적으로 할 수 있다. 이제까지 연골 손상에 대한 수술적 치료는 세척술(lavage) 및 변연 절제술(debridement), 미세 천공술(microfracture), 자가 골연골 이식술(autologous osteochondral graft), 자가 연골 세포 이식술(autologous chondrocyte implantation, ACI), 동종 골연골 이식술(osteochondral allograft)이 있다.
