Objectives: The purpose of this study is to develop a linking model between industrial injury insurance organs and local organizations providing social welfare health services, for the activation of medical rehabilitation services for industrial injury patients. Method: Research design for this study was a multi-step research through literature review, field research, and group interviews with persons in charge, to compare local society-oriented medical rehabilitation programs. The term of researches Sep.1 ~ Nov. 30, 2004. Results: 1. Home nurses from Workers Accident Medical Corporation have been taken to be adequate to case managers, who link industrial accident insurance institutions to local society services for the activation of medical rehabilitation services for industrial injury patients. They have been chosen for case managers because they have richer understanding and experiences of objects of industrial accidents than any other specialists, and because they have proved to be able to provide direct home services as a specialist. We have established the center for case management affairs within the workers accident general hospital, organized the committee for case management with doctors in charge, doctors in rehabilitation, rehabilitation consultants, social welfare workers, physical therapists, and nurses, determined objects of case managements from those of long-term recuperation, and constructed a course of case management containing from case management plans to evaluation. 2. We have made files of community resources, and organized the council of industrial accident administration to have it in charge of the adjustment and linking of services in case management affairs. 3. Because there are inequality of community resources between areas, differences in experiences in and bases for linking, and disparity of core organizations with active linking in the system of linking between public and civil sectors, we have taken a system of linking between parallel organs to be the core. In our linking model, workers accident general hospital, hospitals designated for industrial injury, and rehabilitation hospitals are linked in parallel, inadequate long-term recuperation managers are trusted to an workers accident medical corporations through examination by the examination committee in Korea Labor Welfare Corporation, and are dealt with by the committee for case management. Of the hospitals designated for industrial accidents, those running a home caring center provide home caring services for the handicapped at home from industrial injury. 4. Workers Accident Medical Corporation take part in medical rehabilitation, and Korea Labor Welfare Corporation in vocational/social rehabilitation. Furthermore, in the model, the latter should construct a system for job opportunities through Internet portals and provide cyber vocational consultation and introduction. Conclusion: Improvement of systems is needed to apply the linking model to practical affairs. Because this model is centered for practical affairs, it should be put under the analysis of effects, and evaluation of its adequacy to practical application, and its effects and efficiency through experimental running in the 8 workers accident general hospital in Korea.

Antimony trioxide 촉매를 사용하여 241 - $260^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 bishydroxyethyl naphthalate (BHEN)의 축중합 반응에 관한 속도론적 연구를 수행하였다. 반응은 회분식 반응기에서 진행되었고 반응물의 농도는 high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)를 사용하여 측정하였다. 분자종 모델을 적용하여 구한 반응속도상수의 정반응 및 역반응 활성화 에너지 값은 각각 19.7과 31.4 kcal/mole 이었으며, 평형상수는 1.4-2.0으로 PET 축중합 반응의 경우보다 큰 값을 가지며 온도에 따라 어느 정도 변하였다. 말단기인 hydroxyethyl기의 반응속도는 분자의 크기에 관계없이 일정함을 Flory, 모델식으로부터 확인할 수 있었다. 관능기 모델을 적용한 결과 정반응과 역반응 활성화 에너지 길기 큰 차이가 없었으며, 평형상수는 1.4정도의 값을 가졌다. 관능기 모델로부터 구한 속도상수 값은 분자종 모델로부터 구한 값의 3-4배로서 두 모델이 모두 반응계를 잘 설명하였다. 제안된 분자종 모델이 10개의 분자종을 모두 예측해야 하는 어려움에도 불구하고 실험 결과와 잘 맞음을 알 수 있었다.

Using a concentric cylinder type, rheometer. the steady shear flow properties of vaseline were measured over the temperature range of 20~70${\circ}$C. In this paper, the shea rate and temperature dependencies of its flow behavior were investigated and the validity of some flow models was examined. In addition, the flow characteristics over a wide temperature range were quantitatively evaluated by calculating the various material parameters. Main findings obtained from this study can be summarized as follows: (1) At relatively lower temperature range, vaseline is a plastic fluid with a yield stress and its flow behavior shows shear-thinning characteristics. (2) As the temperature increases, the value of a yield stress and the degree of shear-thinning become smaller, consequently, the Newtonian flow behavior occurs at a lower shear rate range. (3) At temperature range lower than 45${\circ}$C, the flow behavior shows much stronger temperature dependence, and a larger activation energy is needed for flow. (4) The Herschel-Bulkley model is the most effective one g$^3$ to predict the flow behavior of vaseline having a yield stress. The validity of the Bingham and Casson models becomes more available with increasing temperature. The flow behavior of vaseline at temperature range higher than 45${\circ}$C can be perfectly described by the Newton model.

가열에 의한 품종별 고구마 조직의 변화에 대한 반응속도론적 상수를 biphasic model과 fractional conversion method를 사용하여 결정하였다. Biphasic model에 따라 고구마의 가열에 의한 조직의 변화는 2단계의 연속적인 1차 반응식으로 표시할 수 있었으며, 활성화에너지는 고구마의 품종에 따라 $71.0{\sim}75.1\;kJ/mol$ 및 $48.4{\sim}59.6\;kJ/mol$이었다. 또한 고구마의 가열에 의한 조직변화를 fractional conversion method를 사용하여 1개의 1차 반응식으로 표시할 수 있었는데, 이 때의 활성화에너지는 $67.5{\sim}75.3\;kJ/mol$로서 biphasic model에 의한 제 1단계의 반응에 대한 값과 유사한 값을 나타냈다. 이들 방법으로 결정된 반응속도론적 상수들 사이에는 kinetic compensation 효과가 있었으며, 두 방법 모두 고구마의 가열에 의한 조직변화에 대한 반응속도론적 상수들을 결정하는데 적용할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to apply a deep learning model that can distinguish lung perfusion and lung ventilation images in nuclear medicine, and to evaluate the image classification ability. Image data pre-processing was performed in the following order: image matrix size adjustment, min-max normalization, image center position adjustment, train/validation/test data set classification, and data augmentation. The convolutional neural network(CNN) structures of VGG-16, ResNet-18, Inception-ResNet-v2, and SE-ResNeXt-101 were used. For classification model evaluation, performance evaluation index of classification model, class activation map(CAM), and statistical image evaluation method were applied. As for the performance evaluation index of the classification model, SE-ResNeXt-101 and Inception-ResNet-v2 showed the highest performance with the same results. As a result of CAM, cardiac and right lung regions were highly activated in lung perfusion, and upper lung and neck regions were highly activated in lung ventilation. Statistical image evaluation showed a meaningful difference between SE-ResNeXt-101 and Inception-ResNet-v2. As a result of the study, the applicability of the CNN model for lung scintigraphy classification was confirmed. In the future, it is expected that it will be used as basic data for research on new artificial intelligence models and will help stable image management in clinical practice.

Melatonin has been reported to protect neurons from a variety of neurotoxicity. However, the underlying mechanism by which melatonin exerts its neuroprotective property has not yet been clearly understood. We previously demonstrated that melatonin protected kainic acid-induced neuronal cell death in mouse hippocampus, accompanied by sustained activation of Akt, a critical mediator of neuronal survival. To further elucidate the neuroprotective action of melatonin, we examined in the present study the causal mechanism how Akt signaling pathway is regulated by melatonin in a rat primary astrocyte culture model. Melatonin resulted in increased astrocytic Akt phosphorylation, which was significantly decreased with wortmannin, a specific inhibitor of PI3K, suggesting that activation of Akt by melatonin is mediated through the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore, increased Akt activation was also significantly decreased with luzindole, a non-selective melatonin receptor antagonist. As downstream signaling pathway of Akt activation, increased levels of CREB phoshorylation and GDNF expression were observed, which were also attenuated with wortmannin and luzindole. These results strongly suggest that melatonin exerts its neuroprotective property in astrocytes through the activation of plasma membrane receptors and then PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Objectives : Oxidative stress is a important cause of liver disease, and regulation of oxidative stress is essential to maintain the normal metabolic function of the liver. Until a recent date, there has been no studies on the hepatoprotective effect of Ikwiseungyang-tang (IWSYT). Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the hepatoprotective effect of IWSYT and its related molecular mechanisms on arachidonic acid (AA) + iron induced oxidative stress model in HepG2 cells. Methods : To determine the cytoprotective effect of IWSYT against AA + iron-induced oxidative stress, cell viability, apoptosis-related proteins, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), GSH, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were measured. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation was analyzed by immunoblot analysis. In addition, Nrf2 transcription activation through ARE binding was measured by reporter gene assays, and the expression of the Nrf2 target antioxidant genes were confirmed by immunoblot analysis. Results : IWSYT increased cell viability from cell death induced by AA + Iron, and inhibited apoptosis by regulating apoptosis-related proteins. Furthermore, IWSYT protected cells by inhibiting intracellular ROS production, GSH depletion, and MMP degradation. Nrf2 activation was increased by IWSYT, and Nrf2 target genes were activated by IWSYT too. Conclusions : These results suggest that IWSYT can protect hepatocytes from oxidative stress through Nrf2 activation and can be potentially applied in the prevention and treatment of liver damage.

Objective: To investigate the three-dimensional forces created by clear aligners on mandibular teeth during differential activation with en-masse retraction and/or intrusion in vitro. Methods: Six sets of clear aligners were designed for differential en-masse retraction and/or intrusion procedures in a first premolar extraction model. Group A0 was a control group with no activation. Groups A1-5 underwent different degrees of retractions and/or intrusions. Each group consisted of 10 aligners. Aligner forces were measured on a multi-axis force/torque transducer measurement system in real-time. Results: In the en-masse retraction groups (A1 and A2), lingual and extrusive forces were observed on the incisors; the canines mainly received distal forces; intrusive forces were seen on the second premolars; and the molars received mesial forces. In the en-masse retraction and intrusion groups (A3, A4, and A5), incisors also received lingual and extrusive forces; canines received distal and intrusive forces; mesial and extrusive forces were seen on the second premolars; and the second molars received distal and intrusive forces. The vertical forces on the incisors did not differ significantly among groups A1, A3, and A5. However, the vertical forces on the second premolars reversed from intrusion in group A1 to extrusion in groups A3 and A5. Conclusions: With clear aligners, the "bowing effect" is seen during en-masse anterior teeth retraction and can be partially relieved by performing en-masse retraction accompanied by anterior teeth intrusion. Vertical control of incisors remained unsolved during en-masse retraction, even when intrusive activation was added to the anterior teeth.

Background: This study investigated the effect of an excess and a deficit of spinal 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the mechanical allodynia and neuroglia activation in a rodent pain model of carrageenan inflammation. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with an intrathecal (i.t.) catheter to administer the drug. To induce an excess or deficit of 5-HT in the spinal cord, animals were given either three i.t. 5-HT injections at 24-hour intervals or a single i.t. injection of 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine (5,7-DHT) before carrageenan inflammation. Mechanical allodynia was measured using the von Frey test for 0-4 hours (early phase) and 24-28 hours (late phase) after carrageenan injection. The changes in the activation of microglia and astrocyte were examined using immunofluorescence of the dorsal horn of the lumbar spinal cord. Results: Both an excess and a deficit of spinal 5-HT had no or a minimal effect on the intensity of mechanical allodynia during the early phase but prevented the attenuation of mechanical allodynia during the late phase, which was observed in animals not treated with i.t. 5-HT or 5,7-DHT. Animals with an excess or deficit of 5-HT showed stronger activation of microglia, but not astrocyte, during the early and late phases, than did normal animals. Conclusions: Imbalance in the descending 5-HT pathway in the spinal cord could aggravate the mechanical allodynia and enhance the activation of microglia, suggesting that the spinal 5-HT pathway plays an essential role in maintaining the nociceptive processing in balance between facilitation and inhibition in inflammatory pain caused by carrageenan inflammation.

ReLU(Rectified Linear Unit) 함수는 제안된 이후로 대부분의 깊은 인공신경망 모델들에서 표준 활성함수로써 지배적으로 사용되었다. 이후에 ReLU를 대체하기 위해 Leaky ReLU, Swish, Mish 활성함수가 제시되었는데, 이들은 영상 분류 과업에서 기존 ReLU 함수 보다 향상된 성능을 보였다. 따라서 초해상화(Super Resolution) 과업에서도 ReLU를 다른 활성함수들로 대체하여 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있는지 실험해볼 필요성을 인지하였다. 본 연구에서는 초해상화 과업에서 안정적인 성능을 보이는 EDSR(Enhanced Deep Super-Resolution Network) 모델에 활성함수들을 변경하면서 성능을 비교하였다. 결과적으로 EDSR의 활성함수를 변경하면서 진행한 실험에서 해상도를 2배로 변환하는 경우, 기존 활성함수인 ReLU가 실험에 사용된 다른 활성함수들 보다 비슷하거나 높은 성능을 보였다. 해상도를 4배로 변환하는 경우에서는 Leaky ReLU와 Swish 함수가 기존 ReLU 함수 대비 다소 향상된 성능을 보임을 확인하였다. Leaky ReLU를 사용했을 때 기존 ReLU보다 영상의 품질을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 PSNR과 SSIM 평가지표가 평균 0.06%, 0.05%, Swish를 사용했을 때는 평균 0.06%, 0.03%의 성능 향상을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 해상도를 8배로 변환하는 경우에서는 Mish 함수가 기존 ReLU 함수 대비 다소 향상된 성능을 보임을 확인하였다. Mish를 사용했을 때 기존 ReLU보다 PSNR과 SSIM 평가지표가 평균 0.06%, 0.02%의 성능 향상을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 해상도를 4배로 변환하는 초해상화의 경우는 Leaky ReLU와 Swish가, 해상도를 8배로 변환하는 초해상화의 경우는 Mish가 ReLU 대비 향상된 성능을 보였다. 향후 연구에서는 다른 초해상화 모델에서도 성능 향상을 위해 활성함수를 Leaky ReLU, Swish, Mish로 대체하는 비교실험을 수행하는 것도 필요하다고 판단된다.
