목 적: Quasar^TM Phantom을 활용하여 흉부 4D CT 촬영 시 호흡이 불규칙한 상황을 가정해 재촬영 했을 때와 Pause & Resume 방법을 사용하였을 때 Data 안정성과 선량감소 효과를 비교분석 하여 Pause & Resume 방법의 임상적용의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: Quasar^TM Phantom을 사용하여 분당 호흡수를 15 BPM, 7.5 BPM으로 설정하고 S15 지점을 호흡이 불규칙한 구간이라고 설정한 후 이 지점에 OSLD를 부착하여 Pause & Resume 방법을 사용했을 때 S15 구간의 선량을 실측했다. 재촬영(2회) 했을 때와 Pause & Resume 방법을 사용했을 때의 선량 비교를 위해 CTDIvol, DLP, ALARA-CT를 이용해 분석했다. Pause & Resume 방법을 적용한 Data의 안정성과 유용성 평가를 위해 Advanced Workstation Volume Share7을 사용해 촬영된 이미지를 Sorting 하고 Eclipse^TM에 전송하여 Phantom 내 쇠구슬에 윤곽형성을 하여 지름과 체적을 분석했다. 결 과: OSLD 실측결과 Pause & Resume 사용 시 S15의 구간에 한해서 1.97배 선량이 증가했다. 영상 평가결과 15 BPM과 7.5 BPM에서 Pause & Resume 방법을 사용했을 때와 사용하지 않았을 때 측정된 모든 체적의 평균값은 15.2 cm3±0.5%였다. 반지름은 측정한 모든 값이 Pause & Resume 사용 유무와 관계없이 3.1 cm로 나타났다. 선량은 Pause & Resume을 사용한 경우 재촬영 했을 때 가장 낮은 DLP 값보다 33% 감소했고 가장 높은 DLP 값보다 38% 감소했으며 유효선량도 최소값 대비 32.1% 최대값 대비 37.6% 감소했다. 결 론: 호흡의 불규칙이 발생했다고 가정한 구간(S15)에서 Pause & Resume 한 경우 S15 구간에 한해 재촬영이 이루어져 국한된 선량증가가 나타났지만 전체 촬영구간에서의 선량감소는 재촬영때보다 Pause & Resume을 사용했을 때 뚜렷했다. Pause & Resume을 사용했을 때 촬영한 이미지 데이터들의 안정성과 가용성을 확인을 위해 진행했던 쇠구슬 윤곽형성 평가에서 Pause & Resume을 사용했을 때와 사용하지 않았을 때의 쇠구슬의 반지름과 체적 값이 유사하게 나타나며 임상 적용에 있어서 유용함을 증명했다.

Objective: There are many types of exercises with upper and lower-limb action for activation of abdominal muscles for trunk stabilization. A comparison of the different exercise methods been very useful to enhance the result from the exercise for treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate through surface electromyography (EMG) the changes in abdominal muscle activity during the performance of three different dead-bug exercise methods performed at three different speeds. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: The subjects were 30 healthy adults (13 males and 17 females). We instructed the subjects to perform three different dead-bug exercises. We also applied three different speeds to the dead-bug exercises; 60 bpm, 90 bpm, and 120 bpm with use of a metronome. The assessment of EMG was percentage of maximal voluntary isometric contraction on the rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), and internal oblique (IO). Results: EMG activation of the RA, EO and IO muscles was significantly greater at the higher speed (p<0.05). There was a significant increase in abdominal muscle activity during the dead-bug exercise performed with both the upper and lower extremities compared to that with only the upper extremity or the lower extremities (p<0.05). Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that the performance of the dead-bug exercise with both the upper and lower extremities combined at a high speed is more effective compared to other exercises. Therefore, it is suggested that more favourable and effective outcomes may occur when the type and speed of the exercise is chosen appropriately.

Background The combination of polycaprolactone and hyaluronic acid creates an ideal environment for wound healing. Hyaluronic acid maintains a moist wound environment and accelerates the in-growth of granulation tissue. Polycaprolactone has excellent mechanical strength, limits inflammation and is biocompatible. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of bio-conjugated polycaprolactone membranes (BPM) as a wound dressing. Methods 16 New Zealand white rabbits were sedated and local anaesthesia was administered. Two $3.0{\times}3.0cm$ full-thickness wounds were created on the dorsum of each rabbit, between the lowest rib and the pelvic bone. The wounds were dressed with either BPM (n=12) or Mepitel (n=12) (control), a polyamide-silicon wound dressing. These were evaluated macroscopically on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th postoperative days for granulation, re-epithelialization, infection, and wound size, and histologically for epidermal and dermal regeneration. Results Both groups showed a comparable extent of granulation and re-epithelialization. No signs of infection were observed. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) in wound size between the two groups. BPM (n=6): $8.33cm^2$, $4.90cm^2$, $3.12cm^2$, $1.84cm^2$; Mepitel (n=6): $10.29cm^2$, $5.53cm^2$, $3.63cm^2$, $2.02cm^2$; at the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th postoperative days. The extents of epidermal and dermal regeneration were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions BPM is comparable to Mepitel as a safe and efficacious wound dressing.

During an investigation of the fungi from the Aspergillaceae family obtained from different environmental sources in Korea, we isolated six strains, including CNUFC WJC9-1, CNUFC BPM36-33, CNUFC MSW6, CNUFC ESW1, CNUFC TM6-2, and CNUFC WD17-1. The morphology and phylogeny of these isolates were analyzed based on their partial b-tubulin (BenA) and calmodulin (CaM) gene sequences. Based on the morphological characteristics and sequence analyses, the isolates CNUFC WJC9-1, CNUFC BPM36-33, CNUFC TM6-2, and CNUFC WD17-1 were identified as A. europaeus, A. pragensis, Penicillium fluviserpens, and P. scabrosum, respectively, and isolates CNUFC MSW6 and CNUFC ESW1 were identified as A. tennesseensis. To the best of our knowledge, the species A. europaeus, A. pragensis, A. tennesseensis, P. fluviserpens, and P. scabrosum have not been previously reported in Korea.

Continuous monitoring of heart rates and respiratory rates for newborns or infants is very important since the abnormal breathing and heart problems can threaten the life of newborns or infants. A noncontact baby monitoring system based on a Doppler radar and an air mattress was designed. The Doppler radar was used to acquire respiratory signals and the air mattress was employed to obtain heart rates. The performance of the designed system was evaluated using a commercialized infant simulator ($Simbaby^{TM}$) and a respiration belt transducer was used to measure respiration rates as a reference. Results for respiratory rates revealed that the correlation coefficients between I-and Q-channel and the respiration belt were 0.84 and 0.91 and the mean ${\pm}$ standard deviations of errors between them were $1.66{\pm}1.92$ (bpm) and $0.88{\pm}1.65$ (bpm). Heart rates showed that the correlation coefficient between air mattress and set value of the simulator was 0.73 and the mean ${\pm}$ standard deviation of errors between them was $1.09{\pm}3.45$ (bpm). These results indicate that the designed system holds the potential as an effective monitoring tool for continuous monitoring heart rates and respiratory rates of newborns or infants.

We propose a rigorous 2D approximation technique for the 3D waveguide structures; it can minimize the well-known approximation errors of the commonly used effective index method. The main concept of the proposed technique is to compensate for the effective cladding index in the equivalent slab model of the original channel waveguide from the modal effective index calculated by the nonuniform 2D finite difference method. With simulations, we used the proposed technique to calculate the coupling characteristics of a directional coupler by the 2D beam propagation method, and the results were almost exactly the same as the results calculated by the 3D beam propagation method.

원통좌표계에서의 FD-BPM(finite difference-beam propagation method)을 이용하여 굽은 광도파로의 bending loss를 계산하였다. Bending loss를 최소화하기 위해 trench구조를 적용하였으며 다음의 세가지 측면에서 해석하였다. 1)trench구조가 없을때 곡률반경에 따른 bending loss, 2)폭과 위치가 일정한 trench구조가 있을때 곡률반경과 굴절율차에 따른 bending loss, 3)trench의 위치가 일정할 때 trench의 폭에 따른 bending loss를 계산하였다.

In this paper, we design PHASAR(Phased Array) WDM(Wavelength Dvision Division Multi- and Demultiplexing) filters and evaluate their performance. The PHASAR WDM filter is designed to have flat-passband characteristics by inserting the multimode waveguides between input waveguides and a first star coupler. BPM simulation results show that the excess loss is smaller than 6.5 dB, the crosstalk is less than -22 dB and the 1 dB passband is about 50 GHz. The effect of the path difference error is also investigated.

본 논문에서는 출력 도파로의 한쪽 폭을 변화 시켜 다양한 광파워 분리비를 갖는 비대칭형 Y-분리기를 BK7 유리에 $Ag^+-Na^+$이온교환법을 이용하여 제작하였다. FD-BPM을 이용하여 한쪽 출력 도파로의 폭에 따라 다양한 출력 파위를 얻을 수 있는 비대칭형의 Y-분리기의 도파특성을 살펴보았다. 그리고 이온교환에 의해 형성된 채널형 도파로의 굴절률 분포를 결정하고 채널형 도파로를 제작하여 도파특성도 살펴보았다. 비대칭형 Y-분리기는 한 쪽 도파로의 폭을 $4{\mu}m$에서 $6{\mu}m$까지 변화시키면서 제작하고 특성을 파악하였다.
