Objective: This study investigated the measurement interval in the ultrasonographic gastric emptying test for patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) and the correlation between gastric emptying and the findings of various questionnaires. Methods: In total, 119 patients (59 patients with FD and 60 healthy controls) were recruited from July 2018 to June 2020. Gastric volume (GV) and gastric emptying half-time (T1/2) were measured by ultrasonography at fasting and again at 0, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 min after meals (apple juice, 500 mL, 224 kcal), and the average half-time (average T1/2) was calculated. Questionnaires on food retention (FRQ), phlegm pattern e (PPQ), cold and heat (CHQ), deficiency and excess (DEQ), and spleen-qi deficiency (SQDQ), stomach qi deficiency pattern (SSDQ), visual analogue scale (VAS), and Nepean dyspepsia index-Korean version (NDI-K) were completed by all participants. The differences in GV and T1/2 were analyzed in participants whose maximal GV occurred at 0 min versus after 0 min. The correlation of the average T1/2 with the questionnaire scores was also analyzed after excluding erroneous data. Results: Patients with FD who took a certain amount of time to reach maximal GV after meals had a greater gastric volume up to about 30 minutes after meals, and the PPQ, DEQ, and NDI-K scores, especially for upper gastrointestinal symptoms and general weakness-related symptoms, showed statistically significant correlations with average T1/2. Conclusions: Ultrasonography can be a quantitative evaluation tool for FD. However, further studies on measurement methods based on FD physiopathology are required.

광노화의 주요 요인인 자외선으로부터 피부를 보호하는 것은 피부노화를 막는 중요한 해결책 중 하나이다. 이를 위해 자연친화적 친환경적인 다양한 형태의 소재개발이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 미세조류(Chlamydomonas hedleyi.)로부터 Mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA)를 분리 정제 하여 인간 피부세포에서 UV protection 효과를 확인하였다. MAAs 중 porphyra-334를 분리하여 피부세포에서 UV protection 및 항염 효능을 시험하였고 그 결과 porphyra-334가 UV로부터 피부세포를 보호하여 cell viability가 약 26% 정도 증가하였고 COX-2 발현 40% 이상 저해함을 통해 항염 효능을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 porphyra-334의 자외선 차단용 소재뿐 아니라 항염 관련 소재로서의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 부분공핍(partially-depleted : PD) 영역과 완전공핍(fully-depleted : FD) 영역을 나누는 임계 전면 게이트 전압 V/sub c/의 해석적 표현을 이용해서 PD 영역과 FD 영역의 천이를 정확히 설명하는 해석적 표면전위 모델(analytical surface potential model)을 소개한다. 이 모델은 모든 동작영역(subthreshold에서 strong inversion까지)에서 유효하고 반복 계산 절차 (iteration procedure)인 수치 해석적 방법보다 훨씬 짧은 계산시간이 걸린다. 이 모델에 기초한 charge sheet 모델이 모는 동작영역에 유효한 드레인 전류의 단일 공식을 유도하는데 사용된다. 대부분의 secondary 효과들이 charge sheet 모델에 쉽게 포함되고 그 모델의 결과들은 수치해석 결과와 실험 결과를 비교적 정확히 일치한다. 세 가지의 smoothing 함수가 사용될지 라도 표면전위 미분 값은 연속이다 더욱 중요한 점은 smoothing 함수에 사용된 파라미터들은 공정 파라미터들에 크게 의존하지 않는다.

무선랜 이용률 증가에 따라 무선랜 단말뿐만 아니라 AP의 밀집도가 증가하고 있고, 이로 인해 무선랜의 실제 성능(real performance)이 저하되고 있다. 이를 개선하기 위한 PHY/MAC 기술 중 OFDMA와 full duplex가 있다. 기존 OFDMA기반 무선랜 MAC 연구는 채널 utilization과 충돌확률 측면에서의 문제점이 있고 따라서 보다 효율적인 채널할당 프로토콜에 대한 연구가 필요하다. Full duplex는 같은 주파수에 동시에 송수신이 가능한 방식으로 half duplex에 비해 더 유연한 채널할당이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 full duplex 전송 노드의 idle 채널정보를 바탕으로 서브 채널을 할당하는 OFDMA FD-MAC(Full Duplex MAC) 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 또한, 성능분석을 통해 throughput이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a gastrointestinal disorder with diverse symptoms but no structural or organic manifestations. Benachio-F^® (herein named 'BF-1') is an over-the-counter liquid digestive formulated with multiple herbal extracts, which has been reported to improve symptoms of FD. A total two experiments were conducted. First, we examined whether BF-1 can modulate the progression of FD through two experimental rat models. A total of three doses (0.3x, 1x, 3x of the human equivalent dose) were used. In the gastric emptying model, both 1x (standard) or 3x (3-fold-concentrated) BF-1 enhanced gastric emptying was compared with that of vehicle-treated animals. In a feeding inhibition model induced by acute restraint stress, treatment with 1x or 3x BF-1 led to a similar degree of restoration in food intake that was comparable to that of acotiamide-treated animals. Among the constituents of BF, fennel is known for its choleretic effect. Thus, we next investigated whether a novel BF-based formula (named 'BF-2') that contains an increased amount of fennel extract (3.5-fold over BF-1), has greater potency in increasing bile flow. BF-2 showed a superior choleretic effect compared to BF-1. Furthermore, the postprandial concentration of serum secretin was higher in animals pretreated with BF-2 than in those pretreated with BF-1, suggesting that the increased choleretic effect of BF-2 is related to secretin production. Our results demonstrate that BF-1 can modulate the pathophysiological mechanisms of FD by exerting prokinetic and stress-relieving effects, and that BF-2 has a better choleretic effect than BF-1.

Background and Objectives : The purpose of this study was to compare the measured values of acoustic and auditory perceptual assessments between normal and functional dysphonia (FD) groups. Materials and Methods : 102 subjects with FD and 59 normal voice groups were participated in this study. Mid-vowel portion of the sustained vowel /a/ and two sentences of 'Sanchaek' were edited, concatenated, and analyzed by Praat script. And then auditory-perceptual (AP) rating was completed by three listeners. Results : The FD group showed higher acoustic voice quality index version 2.02 and version 3.01 (AVQIv2 and AVQIv3), slope, Hammarberg index (HAM), grade (G) and overall severity (OS), values than normal group. Additionally, smoothed cepstral peak prominence in Praat (PraatCPPS), tilt, low-to high spectral band energies (L/H ratio), long-term average spectrum (LTAS) in FD group were lower than normal voice group. And the correlation among measured values ranged from -0.250 to 0.960. In ROC curve analysis, cutoff values of AVQIv2, AVQIv3, PraatCPPS, slope, tilt, L/H ratio, HAM, and LTAS were 3.270, 2.013, 13.838, -22.286, -9.754, 369.043, 27.912, and 34.523, respectively, and the AUC of each analysis was over .890 in AVQIv2, AVQIv3, and PraatCPPS, over 0.731 in HAM, tilt, and slope, over 0.605 in LTAS and L/H ratio. Conclusions : In conclusion, AVQI and CPPS showed the highest predictive power for distinguishing between normal and FD groups. Acoustic analyses and AP rating as noninvasive examination can reinforce the screening capability of FD and help to establish efficient diagnosis and treatment process plan for FD.

이제까지의 협력 인지 통신망에서는 쓰는 이들이 거의 대부분 서로 반 이중 방식으로 신호를 주고 받았다. 이 논문에서는 부 쓰는이들이 전 이중 통신 기술을 쓰는 협력 인지 통신망을 제안하고 그 성능을 간단히 살펴본다. 제안한 방식에서는 협력 인지 통신망의 부 쓰는이들이 동시 송수신 안테나를 쓰는 환경을 생각하여, 전 이중으로 통신할 수 있도록 하였다. 제안한 방식에서 이룰 수 있는 전송률을 해석적으로 얻고, 이제까지의 협력 인지 통신망보다 전송률 성능이 더 높다는 것을 수치적인 계산으로 보인다.

We proposed that concentrations of cartier electron as well as ionized donor defects in nonstoichiometric ZnO are proportional to $P^{-1/2}_{O_2}$, whenever they ionizes singly or doubly, by employing the Fermi-Dirac (FD) statistics for ionization of the native thermal defects $Zn_i$ and $V_o$. The effect of acceptor defect, zinc vacancy $V_{Zn}$made by the Frenkel and Schottky disorder reactions, on carrier concentrations was discussed. By application of the FD statistics law to their ionization while the formation of defects is assumed governed by the mass-action law, the calculation results indicate; 1. ZnO shows n-type conductivity with $N_D>$N_A$ and majority concentration of $n{\propto}\;P^{-1/2}_{O_2}$ in a range of $P_{O_2}$, lower than a critical value. 2. As the concentration of acceptor $V_{Zn}$ increases proportional to $P^{1/2}_{O_{2}}$, ZnO made at extremely high $P_{O_{2}}$, can have p-type conductivity with majority concentration of p ${\propto}\;P^{-1/2}_{O_{2}}$. One may not, however, obtain p-type ZnO if the pressure for $N_{D}<$N_{A}$ is too high.

FDS를 사용한 환기부족 화재 시뮬레이션의 문제점을 재확인하고 FDS의 환기부족 화재 판단기준을 제시하기 위하여 ISO 9705 화재실 내 1000~3000 kW의 프로판 화재에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 화재규모가 2000 kW 이상일 때 1500 kW의 경우보다 온도가 낮게 예측됨을 확인하였다. FDS를 사용할 때 환기부족 화재에서는 화재규모가 증가해도 산소부족으로 열방출률은 증가하지 않았다. 이에 따라 화재 시뮬레이션에 있어서의 환기부족 화재 판단기준으로 열방출률이 사용될 수 있으며, ISO 9705 화재실에서는 화재규모가 1700 kW 이상일 때 환기부족 화재가 예측됨을 알 수 있었다.

Immunoliposomes (antibody-conjugated liposomes) are highly useful as both a drug carrier in drug delivery and as a reporting probe in immunodiagnostics. However, antibody conjugation is lengthy and cumbersome, because this includes several steps such as derivatization of the antibody, conjugation of the derivatized antibody to liposomes, and separation of the unbound antibodies from immunoliposomes. Recently, liposome preparation steps have simplified by using microfluidic devices (${\mu}FDs$) where liposomes are formed when a stream of lipids in solvent is hydrodynamically focused between two oblique buffer streams in a microchannel. Herein, we report a simple method for the production of immunoliposomes (rabbit IgG-conjugated liposomes) using microvalve-controlled ${\mu}FD$. The presence of antibody on the liposome was verified by observing the binding of immunoliposomes to rabbit IgG on the surface. The results suggest that immunoliposomes can be easily prepared through sequential mixing of antibody, conjugation reagents, preformed liposomes using microvalve-controlled ${\mu}FD$.
