Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome is a rare congenital malformation syndrome that is characterized by a triad of uterine didelphys, blind hemivagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. There is a wide variety of phenotypic presentation which is recognized as a spectrum of disease rather than a separate entity. The exact incidence and pathogenesis of HWW syndrome are yet to be investigated. While this disease typically involves adolescent girls who present with abdominal pain or a pelvic mass that is secondary to hematocolpos, nowadays, a majority of potential patients with HWW are being prenatally screened for renal anomalies. Therefore, it is recommended to search for uterovaginal anomalies whenever a multicystic dysplastic kidney or the absence of a kidney is noted in a newborn female, and the role of pediatric nephrologists has become ever more important for early recognition of the disease.

Purpose: This study was carried out to investigate the effects of auricular acupressure therapy on the relief of dysmenorrhea and abdominal pain in female university students. Method: This study was designed as non-equivalent control group research. Data were collected from 44 of the female university students(Exp.: 22, Cont. : 22) from October, 2007 to December, 2007. Collected data were analysed through $x^2test$. Fisher's exact test, Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Result: Abdominal pain was significantly decreased partially in the experimental group compared to that of the control group(p=.008). Dysmenorrhea was significantly decreased in the experimental group compared to that of the control group(p=.000). Conclusion: It was proven that auricular acupressure therapy was effective for abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea.

As life expectancy increases, chronic diseases become a problem, and health management in daily life becomes important. With the development of IT convergence technology, personal health records have been collected through various data sources, but they are saved separately by each medical services. Distributed storage of personal health records caused inconvenience about managing the user's health records. In this paper, we designed and implemented an integrated repository and web-based dashboard UI components to solve that inconvenience. The proposed method shows that users can manage their personal health records in the integrated repository effectively and show them through dashboard UI components.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate solidification of NH$_{4}$CI-H$_{2}$0 mixtures inside a vertical rectangular enclosure. Solidification process is visualized by the shadowgraph method. Emphasis is placed on the effect of solidification parameters such as the aspect ratio, cooling wall temperature and initial composition. The aspect ratio shows a dominant effect on the number and developing time of the double diffusive layers which reveals the relative strength of solutal convection to thermal convection. Similar flow pattern is observed when the concentration difference between interdendritic liquid and the pure liquid which drives solutal convection is the same regardless of the different cooling wall temperature and initial concentration.

The transition from steady laminar to chaotic convection in a glass melting furnace specified by upper surface temperature distribution has been studied by the direct numerical analysis of the two and three-dimensional time dependent Navier-Stokes equations. The thermal instability of convection roll may take place when modified Rayleigh number($Ra_m$) is larger than $9.71{\times}10^4$. It is shown that the basic flows in a glass melting furnace are steady laminar, unsteady periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic flow. The dimensionless time scale of unsteady period is about the viscous diffusion time, ${\tau}_d=H^2/{\nu}_0$. Through primary and secondary instability analyses the fundamental unsteady feature in a glass melting furnace is well defined as the unsteady periodic or weak chaotic flow.

To extract the depth map from a single image, a number of CNN-based deep learning methods have been performed in recent research. In this study, the GAN structure of Pix2Pix is maintained. this model allows to converge well, because it has the structure of the generator and the discriminator. But the convolution in this model takes a long time to compute. So we change the convolution form in the generator to a depthwise convolution to improve the speed while preserving the result. Thus, the seven down-sizing convolutional hidden layers in the generator U-Net are changed to depthwise convolution. This type of convolution decreases the number of parameters, and also speeds up computation time. The proposed model shows similar depth map prediction results as in the case of the existing structure, and the computation time in case of a inference is decreased by 64%.

Some hyromedusae were collected from Korean waters with Issacc-Kidd Midwater trawl net or by SCUBA diving during the period from May 2001 to Nov. 2005. They were identified into 14 species of 11 families in six orders. Of these, the following six species are new to Korean fauna: Olindias formosa (Goto, 1903) and Proboscidactyla stellata (Forbes, 1846) of the order Limnomedusae; Aglantha digitale ($M\ddot{u}ller$, 1776) and Rhopalonema velatum Gegenbaur, 1854 of the order Trachymedusae; Solmundella bitentaculata (Quoy and Gaimaud, 1833) and Aegina citrea Eschscholtz, 1829 of the order Narcomedusae. The order Narcomedusae and the families Rhopalonematidae and Aeginidae are first recorded in Korean waters. As a result of the present study, the Korean hydromedusae consist of 26 species of 19 families in six orders so far.

Background: Bladder cancer is among the five most common malignancies worldwide. Altered expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling -3 (SOCS-3) has been implicated in various types of human cancers; however, its role in bladder cancer is not well established. Aim: The present study was undertaken to investigate the mRNA expression of SOCS-3 in normal and cancerous bladder tissue and to explore its correlation with urinary levels of some proinflammatory cytokines, cytokeratin-18 (CK -18) and with tumor histopathological grading, in order to evaluate their role as potential diagnostic markers. Materials and Methods: SOCS3 mRNA expression levels were evaluated using quantitative real time PCR. Urinary levels of interleukins 6 and 8 were estimated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cytokeratin-18 expression was analyzed by immuunohistochemistry then validated by ELISA. Results: SOC3 m RNA expression levels were significantly lower in high grade urothelial carcinoma ($0.36{\pm}0.12$) compared to low grade carcinoma ($1.22{\pm}0.38$) and controls ($4.08{\pm}0.88$), (p<0.001). However, in high grade urothelial carcinoma the urinary levels of IL-6, IL-8, total CK-18($221.33{\pm}22.84pg/ml$, $325.2{\pm}53.6pg/ml$, $466.7{\pm}57.40U/L$ respectively) were significantly higher than their levels in low grade carcinoma ($58.6{\pm}18.6pg/ml$, $58.3{\pm}50.2pg/ml$, $185.5{\pm}60.3U/L$ respectively) and controls ($50.9{\pm}23.0pg/ml$, $7.12{\pm}2.74pg/ml$, $106.7{\pm}47.3U/L$ respectively), (p<0.001). Conclusions: Advanced grade of urothelial bladder carcinoma is significantly associated with lowered mRNA expression of SOC3 as well as elevated urinary levels of proinflammatory cytokines and CK-18. Furthermore, our results suggested that urinary IL-8, IL-6 and CK-18 may benefit as noninvasive biomarkers for early detection as well as histopathological subtyping of urothelial carcinoma.

산업적 유산균 배양의 가격대비 효율성을 높이기 위하여 질소원, 탄소원 및 무기염물을 기본량으로 기본배지를 제조하고, 효율적인 고농도 유산균체를 수득하기 위하여 pH 조절제로서 따로 첨가되어지는 합성 화학물질을 대신하여 미역을 실험에 사용하였다. 미역의 최적의 첨가 방법을 찾고자 추출, 착즙, 분말의 형태로 배지를 제조하여 유산균증식능 평가한 결과, 착즙의 형태에서 유산균 증식능이 가장 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 실험 결과를 통해, 폐기되어 환경오염의 원인이 되는 가식부 외 미역을 유산균 배양배지에 착즙형태로 첨가함으로서 종래 pH 조절을 위해 완충액으로 첨가되는 합성 화학물질을 대체하여 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 미역첨가 기본배지 선정에 따른 배지 단가를 절감하면서 높은 균체 수율을 얻는 등 충분한 경제적 장점을 기대할 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 미역을 이용함으로써 배양 시 해조류의 식이섬유 등이 정장작용에 유산균의 시너지 효과뿐만 아니라 폐기되는 천연 식물자원을 활용함으로써 새로운 부가가치 창출과 환경오염을 예방하는 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 SCB 저농도 액비에 질소, 인산, 칼리 성분을 첨가한 개량 SCB 액비(DSCB)의 시비에 따른 한국 잔디의 생육에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 처리구는 비료의 종류와 시비량에 따라 무처리구(NF), 화학비료를 시비한 대조구(CF), 유안으로 질소 성분을 보정한 DSCB를 80% 시비한 처리구 1(DSCB-A1), 유안으로 질소 성분을 보정한 DSCB를 100% 시비한 처리구 2(DSCB-A2), 요소로 질소 성분을 보정한 DSCB 처리구(DSCB-U) 그리고 대조구에 SCB를 시비한 처리구(CF+SCB)로 설정하여 엽색 지수, 엽록소 지수, 건물 중 및 잔디의 양분 함유량을 가지고 생육을 평가하였다. 엽색 지수와 엽록소 지수를 조사한 결과, NF보다 각각 1~3%와 14~28% 증가하였고, CF와 비교할 때, DSCB-A1, DSCB-A2 및 CF+SCB의 엽록소 지수는 약 7~12% 높게 조사되었다. 잔디 생육량은 DSCB-A1와 DSCB-A2에서 CF보다 25%와 19%씩 증가하였고, 질소 흡수량은 19%와 6%씩 증가하였다. DSCB-A1은 잔디 품질과 잔디생육 및 시비 효율이 가장 효과적인 처리구로 평가되었다. 이러한 결과들을 통해 한국 잔디에서 DSCB-Al의 시비는 화학비료보다 양질의 잔디품질을 보여 골프코스 관리에서 DSCB-A1의 활용은 화학비료를 대체할 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.
