Purpose: Total or proximal gastrectomy of the upper-third early gastric cancer (u-EGC) often causes severe post-gastrectomy syndrome, suggesting that these procedures are extremely invasive for patients without pathologically positive lymph node (LN) metastasis. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical applicability of a stomach function-preserving surgery, local resection (LR), with prophylactic left gastric artery (LGA)-basin dissection (LGA-BD). Materials and Methods: The data of patients with u-EGC (pathologically diagnosed as T1) were retrospectively analyzed. Total gastrectomy was performed in 30 patients, proximal gastrectomy in 45, and subtotal gastrectomy in 6; the LN status was evaluated assuming that the patients had already underwent LR + LGA-BD. This procedure was considered feasible in patients without LN metastases or in patients with cancer in the LGA basin. The reproducibility of the results was also evaluated using an external validation dataset. Results: Of the 82 eligible patients, 79 (96.3%) were cured after undergoing LR + LGA-BD, 74 (90.2%) were pathologically negative for LN metastases, and 5 (6.1%) had LN metastases, but these findings were only observed in the LGA basin. Similarly, of the 406 eligible tumors in the validation dataset, 396 (97.5%) were potentially curative. Tumors in the lesser curvature, post-endoscopic resection status, and small tumors (<20 mm) were considered to be stronger indicators of LR + LGA-BD as all subpopulation cases met our feasibility criteria. Conclusions: More than 95% of the patients with u-EGC might be eligible for LR + LGA-BD. This function-preserving procedure may contribute to the development of u-EGC without pathological LN metastases, especially for tumors located at the lesser curvature.

A protein isolate was prepared from black soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) that possessed higher antioxidant activity than ordinary white soy protein isolates. The isolate was partially hydrolyzed by alcalase to reduce the allergenicity of black soybean. Alcalase remarkably reduced the molecular mass of the major soybean allergens that have molecular weights of 53, 38, and 24 kDa. Hydrolytic breakdown occurred more effectively in Gly m Bd 30K than in Gly m Bd 60K or Gly m Bd 28K. Alcalase hydrolysis increased the solubility and hydrophobicity of the black soybean protein isolate. The foaming activity and stability of black soybean proteins were highly increased by the partial hydrolysis.

This study investigated that the effect of rewetting agent on dentinal microtensile bond strength(${\mu}TBS$). Human molars were sectioned to expose the superficial dentin surfaces. Samples were divided into two groups according to type of adhesives-Single Bond (S) and One-Step (0)], and again subdivided into five groups by different dentin surface treatment-dry for 15s (D), blot dry (BD) or dry for 15s, and rewet with different rewetting agents [distilled water (DW), Gluma Desensitizer (GD) and Aqua-Prep (AP)] for 30s. After application of adhesive, composite resin was built up on the bonding surface. Each tooth was sectioned to obtain stick with $1\textrm{mm}^2$ cross sectional area and the ${\mu}TBS$ was determined by EZ test. In the S group, the mean ${\mu}TBS$ of GD, AP, and BD group was significantly higher than that of DW and D group (p < 0.05), In the O group, the mean, ${\mu}TBS$ of AP, GD, BD and DW group was significantly higher than that of D group (p < 0.05). The data suggested that Gluma Desensitizer and Aqua-Prep could be successfully used as rewetting agents, and Distilled water could be acceptable in aceton based adhesive system only.

Objective This study protocol aims to determine, using a rigorous approach in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and non-seasonal major depressive episode (MDE), the characteristics of bright light therapy (BLT) administration (duration, escalation, morning and mid-day exposures) depending on the tolerance (hypomanic symptoms). Methods Patients with BD I or II and treated by a mood stabilizer are eligible. After 1 week of placebo, patients are randomized between either morning or mid-day exposure for 10 weeks of active BLT with glasses using a dose escalation at 7.5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 minutes/day. A further follow-up visit is planned 6 months after inclusion. Patients will be included by cohorts of 3, with at least 3 days of delay between them, and 1 week between cohorts. If none meet a dose limiting toxicity (DLT; i.e hypomanic symptoms), the initiation dose of the next cohort will be increased. If one patient meet a DLT, an additionnal cohort will start at the same dose. If 2 or 3 patients meet a DLT, from the same cohort or from two cohorts at the same dose initiation, the maximum tolerated dose is defined. This dose escalation will also take into account DLTs observed during the intra-subject escalation on previous cohorts, with a "Target Ceiling Dose" defined if 2 DLTs occured at a dose. Discussion Using an innovative and more ergonomic device in the form of glasses, this study aims to better codify the use of BLT in BD to ensure a good initiation and tolerance.

The purpose of this study is to propose the clue of planning guideline for the elderly welfare center supporting the healthy life of the elderly through deriving the planning element of the elderly welfare center based on the Salutogenic Model(SM). The research method was proceeded with literature review. The meaning of Sense of Coherence(SOC) and Generalised Resistance Resources(GRR) which constitute Salutogenic Model is established. The correlation between SOC and GRR is analyzed. The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, EBD, BD, HD, UD, and BFD were studied as planning theories that could enhance the SOC of space. Second, based on the five planning theories, 43 planning elements needed for the elderly welfare center plan were derived. Third, as a result of classifying the plan elements based on the SOC, 'Manageability' is divided into 22 elements, 'Meaningfulness' is 11 and 'Comprehensibility' is 10 elements. Fourth, the details of the SOC items for each theory are as follows: BFD focuses on 'Manageability' with 'Manageability'(74%) and 'Comprehensibility'(26%), but 'Meaningfulness' does not exist. And UD regards 'Comprehensibility'(66%) as important, and 'Manageability' and 'Meaningfulness' as 17%. BD, on the other hand, has a high percentage of 'Meaningfulness'(70%), 'Comprehensibility'(21%) and 'Manageability'(9%). Next, the 'Manageability' of HD and EBD is 46%. And HD was 'Meaningfulness'(34%), 'Comprehensibility'(20%), and EBD was 'Meaningfulness'(30%) and 'Comprehensibility'(24%). The three items of SOC showed different distribution according to the spatial planning theory. As a result of the analysis, the spatial planning theory with the 'Comprehensibility' was related to Universal Design(UD), and the spatial planning theory with the 'Manageability' was related to Barrier-Free Design(BFD). In addition, the spatial planning theory of 'Meaningfulness' was related to Bio-philic Design(BD). Therefore, the plan of the elderly welfare center needs to approach the multidimensional design methodology to enhance the SOC(Sense of Coherence).

본 논문은 필자가 미국 미쉬간대학에 유학중 실시된 연구로서 동대학 목재가공학과에 설치된 소형 목재인공건조장치를 사용하여 일정한 건조조건(건구 온도 $150^{\circ}F{\risingdotseq}65.5^{\circ}C$, 습구온도 $1250^{\circ}F{\risingdotseq}51.7^{\circ}C$, 관계습도 48%, 평형함수율 6.9%)하에 공기 순환속도를 매분당 250ft., 400ft, 및 650ft.로 변경할 때 얻어지는 건조속도를 측정하고, 시간당 건조율을 산출하여 비교 검토한 것이다. 본 실험에 사용한 수종은 북미산소나무 Northern white pine (Pinus strobus L.)로서 시편의 크기는 길이 60cm, 넓이 12.5mm(5in.), 두께 18.7mm(3/4in.)이며 공시목의 표면은 증발조건을 균일히 하기 위하여 포삭하였으며, 마구리(end grain)에는 end coating 하였다. 또한 공기순환속도 측정은 상기대학에 비치된 velometer를 사용하였다. 1. 목재의 섬유포화점(함수율 30%) 이상에 있어서 공시목의 건조율은 건조실내 공기순환속도의 증가에 따라서 증가된다. 즉 공시목의 건조율 증감은 공기 순환속도에 대략 비례한다. 그러나 섬유포화점 이하에 있어서는 공기순환속도의 증강은 건조율 증감에 거의 영향을 이치지 아니한다(그림 1, 2 참조). 2. 실험한 건조조건하에 있어서는 공시목의 초기 함수율이 높을수록 높은 건조율을 얻을 수 있다. 즉 공시목의 초기 함수율(MC30% 이상)이 동일하지 아니한 경우에도 공기순환속도를 증가하면 건조 최종기에 있어서 비교적 빨리 대체로 같은 함수율의 공시목을 얻을 수 있다(실험한 초기 함수율, 건조조건 및 공기순환 속도등은 심한 건조 결함을 유발하지 아니하였음). 3. 본연구 결과에 의하면 공시목의 건조율은 섬유포화점(대략 MC30%)에 있어서 현저한 변화를 나타내고 있다. 즉 공시목의 함수율에 대한 건조율 곡선은 그림 3으로 표시된 바와 같이 섬유포화점 이상에 있어서는 건조율 곡선은 X축(MC)에 대하여 요(凹)형(concave)을 나타냈는데, 섬유포화점 이하의 함수율 범위 30%에서 20%에 있어서는 건조율 곡선은 X축에 대하여 철(凸)형(convex)을 나타냈으며 함수율 20% 이하에 있어서는 재차 심한 요(凹)형을 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이와감은 결과를 요약표시한 원문 그림4에 있어서, 건조율 곡선의 반곡점은 대략 섬유포화점인 MC 30%와 MC 20%에 위치하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이와같이 섬유 포화점으로 알려져 있는 MC 30%와 20%에 있어서 건조율이 급변하는 반곡점 즉 한계점을 표시하는 것은 다음과 같은 야유에 의한 것으로 고려된다. 즉 세포막에 흡수된 결합수의 증발은 세포강, 세포간격 및 기타의 미세한 공간에 존재하는 자유수의 증발보다 훨씬 곤란하므로, 함수율 30%에서 20%의 범위에 있어서는 철(凸)형을 나타낸다. 즉 함수율 30%에서 20% 의 범위에 있에서 세포막의 모세관 응축수(capillary-condensed water)의 증발은 대략 동일한 감소율을 나타내나, 공시목의 함수율이 20%에 접근됨에 따라서 한층 강한 결합상태하에 있는 수분(표면 결합수 및 그 부근에 있는 수분)이 증발하게 되나, 그와 같은 수분의 증발은 한층 곤란하므로 함수율 20% 이하에 있어서 건조율곡선은 재차 요(凹)형을 표시하는 것으로 사료된다. 이상의 관계를 요약 표시한 원문 그림 4에 있어서, 반곡점을 가지지 아니한 점선 곡선 AC 와 2개의 반곡점을 가지는 실선곡선 BD를 비교하면, BD곡선은 AC곡선보다 함수율범위 30%에서 20%에 있어서 그 건조율은 현저히 감소되고 또한 D점을 반곡점으로 해서 그 건조율은 가일층 감소되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이상을 요약하면 생재에서 함수율 30%(섬유포화점)까지는 큰 건조율을 표시하니 함수율 범위 30%에서 20%에 있어서는 그 건조율은 점감되고 함수율 20% 이하에 있어서는 그 건조율은 현저히 감소됨을 표시한다.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used in various composite materials to enhance electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of composite materials. In this study, we investigate the wear characteristics of polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) blends containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). PC/ABS blends are commonly used in many industrial applications such as cellular phones and display cases and MWCNTs have been added to the PC/ABS blends to improve their electromagnetic interference shielding (EMS). We performed wear tests on PC/ABS blends containing MWCNTs under reciprocating linear sliding conditions with chrome steel balls as a counterpart material. The normal loads were 10, 30, 50, 70, 100 N, the sliding speed was 10 mm/s, the stroke length was 15 mm, and the tests lasted 900 s. The MWCNTs included in the PC/ABS blends lower the wear volume and friction coefficient of the composites. We analyzed the wear debris collected from the composites during the tests in terms of the MWCNT concentration using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The results show that the quantity of MWCNTs in the debris is proportional to the concentration of MWCNTs in the composite, indicating that the exposure of the MWCNTs to environments by wear could be increased with their concentration in the composite.

A preliminary performance test of a 30RT 2-stage screw heat pump was carried out in order to develop a high performance large-scale unutilized energy source heat pump system, which will be used for district heating and cooling. In this study, two issues of the system operating control were investigated. The first issue is the mode switching control from 1-stage to 2-stage. A stable 2-stage heating operation is guaranteed, only if the load-side water inlet temperature is over a certain value, where the 1-stage heating operation should be done first from a cold start. The second issue is oil level control. An oil shortage problem in the low stage compressor, which depends on the degree of suction superheat, was solved by a proper oil level control scheme.

Super-RENS (Super-Resolution Near-field Structure) 디스크 시스템은 BD (Blu-ray Disc) 이후의 차세대 광 기록 저장 시스템의 유망한 후보이다. 따라서 super-RENS 시스템을 위한 등화기 개발과 성능 분석을 위해 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 채널 모델링은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 super-RENS 시스템의 모델링을 위해 SCPWL (Simplicial Canonical Piecewise-Linear) 모델을 적용하고자 한다. Super-RENS 디스크로부터 획득한 RF 신호 샘플들을 사용하여 모의실험을 수행한 결과, super-RENS 시스템의 비선형 모델링을 위해 SCPWL 모델이 효과적으로 활용될 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
