Recently the attention on digital hologram that is regarded as to be the final goal of the 3-dimensional video technology has been increased. Digital hologram is calculated by modeling the interference phenomenon between an object wave and a reference wave. The modeling for digital holograms is called by computer generated hologram (CGH) Generally, CGH requires a very large amount of calculation. So if holograms are generated in real time, high-speed method should be needed. In this paper, we analyzed CGH equation, optimized it for mapping general purpose graphic processing unit (GPGPU), and proposed a optimized CGH calculation technique for GPGPU by resource allocation and various experiments which include block size changing, memory selection, and hologram tiling. The implemented results showed that a digital hologram that has $1,024{\times}1,024$ resolution can be generated during approximately 24ms, using 1K point clouds. In the experiment, we used two GTX 580 GPGPU of nVidia Inc.

The International Headache Society (IHS) has validated cervicogenic headache (CGH) as a secondary headache type that is hypothesized to originate due to nociception in the cervical area. CGH is a common form of headache and accounts for 15% to 20% of all chronic and recurrent headaches. CGH is commonly treated with manual and exercise therapy. To date, no studies have isolated only one manual intervention in an attempt to determine its effectiveness. In this case study we present a 28-year-old patient with right upper cervical (UC) and occipital pain who responded well to a single manual intervention technique. This technique was applied in isolation for the first three visits and two therapeutic exercises prescribed on the fourth and fifth visit. In total, manual and exercise intervention occurred over 8 visits at which point in time the patient was discharged with no UC motion impairments, an NPRS rating of 0, a NDI and HDI demonstrating a 100% improvement and a 37% improvement in FOTO score. The traction based manual intervention and two therapeutic exercises prescribed for this patient were successful in relieving UC pain and CGH. At six months follow up, the patient was still symptom free.

We propose an efficient method for synthesizing mesh-based realistic computer-generated hologram (CGH). In a previous nonanalytic mesh-based CGH synthesis, the angular spectrum of the two-dimensional (2D) plane is calculated using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) with the same size as the resolution of the final hologram. Because FFT increases the computation time as the size of the input matrix increases, the previous method has a problem: The higher the resolution of the hologram, the greater the computational load, thereby delaying synthesis time. In this study, when calculating the angular spectrum of the 2D plane in mesh-based CGH synthesis, we propose a method to calculate the angular spectrum by defining the 2D plane with an arbitrary size smaller than the resolution of the final hologram. The resolution adjustment method reduces the computation time and can be applied to occlusion culling and texturing for the realistic effect of mesh-based CGH. We describe the principle, error analysis, application of realistic effect, and experimental results of the proposed method.

컴퓨터 생성 홀로그램(CGH)에서 시야각은 매우 중요한 특성이다. 시야각에 따라 홀로그램을 볼 수 있는 영역이 결정되며 시야각을 넘어가게 되면 재구성된 오브젝트가 잘려 보이게 된다. CGH의 최대 시야각은 회절 격자 방정식에 의해 결정이 되며, 해당 수식에 따르면 홀로그램 재생 장치인 공간 광 변조기(SLM)의 픽셀 피치에 반비례한다. SLM의 픽셀 피치를 줄이는 것은 어렵고 비용이 많이 들기 때문에 본 논문에서는 고해상도 랜덤 바이너리 위상 마스크를 SLM에 부착하여 CGH의 시야각을 확장하는 방법을 제안한다. CGH를 계산하는데 자주 사용되는 반복 푸리에 변환 알고리즘(IFTA)에 위상 평균화 단계를 도입하여 SLM과 위상 마스크간의 픽셀 크기 및 개수의 차이를 극복하였다. 또한 스칼라 회절 이론을 바탕으로 한 홀로그램 시뮬레이션에 제안한 방법을 적용 후 가상 눈 모델을 도입하여 두 개의 물체로 이루어진 홀로그램을 재구성하고 여러 각도에서 관찰하여 시야각이 향상되는것을 검증하였다.

In order to examine efficient L-threo-2,3-Dihydroxyphenylserine (L-threo-DOPS) synthesis process using whole cell biocatalyst, a thermostable L-threonine aldolase (L-TA), which cloned from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and improved for stability, was expressed in a Corynebacterium glutamicum R strain. The constructed Corynebacterium expression vector, pCG-H44(1) successfully expressed L-TA in C. glutamicum R strain, but showed very low expression level. In order to improve the expression level, the expression vector named pCG-H44(2) was reconstructed by eliminating 1 nucleotide between SD sequence and start codon of L-TA. The pCG-H44(2) vector plasmid was able to overexpress L-TA approximately 3.2 times higher than pCG-H44(1) in C. glutamicum R strain (CGH-2). When the whole cell of CGH-2 was examined in a repeated batch system, L-threo-DOPS was successfully synthesized with a yield of 4.0 mg/ml and maintain synthesis rate constantly after 30 repeated batch reactions for 130 h.

This study examined the effects of corn gluten (CG), wheat gluten (WG), and soybean protein isolate (SPI), as well as their hydrolysates, on weight reduction in rats fed a high-fat diet. Eight-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats (n=70) were fed a high-fat diet (40% of the calories were fat) for 4 weeks. Rats were then randomly divided into seven groups and were fed isocaloric diets with different protein sources for 8 weeks. The protein sources were casein (control group), intact CG (CG group), CG hydrolysate (CGH group), intact WG (WG group), WG hydrolysate (WGH group), intact SPI (SPI group), and SPI hydrolysate (SPIH group). Body weight gain, adipose tissue weights, lipid profiles in plasma and liver; and hepatic activities of carnitine palmitoyl transferase, fatty acid synthase (FAS), malic enzyme, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were assessed. The CGH group showed significant weight reduction compared with the other groups. Epididymal fat pad and plasma triglycerides in the CGH group were the lowest and were significantly different than those in the control group. FAS activity in the CGH group was significantly lower than that in the other groups. In conclusion, the CGH diet of these experimental animals demonstrated a weight-reducing effect by lowering the adipose tissue weight and by affecting the activities of hepatic lipogenic enzymes.

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) can now be applied to detect the origin of extra or missing chromosomal material in cases with common unbalanced aberrations and in prenatal investigations. This method has been used in 13 cases of fetal samples for this study; 3 for amniocytes, 2 for cord blood and 8 for abortus tissues. These samples were previously subjected to GTG-banding. Our study showed aneuploidy in 8 cases, and partial monosomy, partial trisomy or marker chromosome in the remaining 5. The CGH disclosed further small genetic imbalances in 4 of all 13 cases: a prenatal sample showing del(20)(q13) by GTG confirmed a loss of the segment 20p13-pter by CGH; a marker chromosome manifested normal CGH profile; chromosome der(?)(?;15) found in an abortus sample by GTG turned out to be a loss of 15pter-q14 (partial monosomy) and a gain of 10pter-q22 (partial trisomy); the der(15) shown by GTG represented partial trisomy of 3q24-qter. These findings show that CGH is very useful and efficient for cytogenetic investigations of clinical cases.

In this paper, we proposed a hardware architecture to generate digital holograms at high speed. It used the modified computer-generated hologram (CGH) algorithm and adapted the pipeline-based hardware to be able to remove memory bottleneck problem. It uses not the method which generates a hologram by accumulating intermittent holograms but the one which independently generates a pixel of a final hologram and uses the appropriate CGH algorithm for the selected method. Based on the CGH algorithm we proposed the architecture of the digital hologram generator which consists of input interface part, calculating part, and normalizing part. The hardware can decrease memory usage because it repeatedly use object light sources which is stored in the internal buffer. It is also operationally parallelized by vertically adding unit cells. It can generate 86 frames of HD digital hologram per 1 second for 1K light sources.

Background: The aim of the present study was to identify chromosomal loci that contribute to the pathogenesis of aortic dissection (AD) in a Korean population using array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) and to confirm the results using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Materials and Methods: Eighteen patients with ADs were enrolled in this study. Genomic DNA was extracted from individual blood samples, and array CGH analyses were performed. Four corresponding genes with obvious genomic changes were analyzed using real-time PCR in order to assess the level of genomic imbalance identified by array CGH. Results: Genomic gains were most frequently detected at 8q24.3 (56%), followed by regions 7q35, 11q12.2, and 15q25.2 (50%). Genomic losses were most frequently observed at 4q35.2 (56%). Real-time PCR confirmed the results of the array CGH studies of the COL6A2, DGCR14, PCSK6, and SDHA genes. Conclusion: This is the first study to identify candidate regions by array CGH in patients with ADs. The identification of genes that may predispose an individual to AD may lead to a better understanding of the mechanism of AD formation. Further multicenter studies comparing cohorts of patients of different ethnicities are warranted.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC) still has poor outcome, and laryngeal cancer is the most frequent subtype of HNSCC. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel treatments to improve the outcome of patients with HNSCC. It is critical to gain further understanding on the molecular and chromosomal alteration of HNSCC to identify novel therapeutic targets but genetic etiology of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx is so complex that target genes have not yet been clearly identified. Array based CGH(array-CGH) allows investigation of general changes in target oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, which should, in turn, lead to a better understanding of the cancer process. In this study, We used genomic wide array-CGH in tissue specimens to map genomic alterations found in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas. As results, gains of MAP2, EPHA3, EVI1, LOC389174, NAALADL2, USP47, CTDP1, MASP1, AHRR, and KCNQ5, with losses of SRRM1L, ANKRD19, FLJ39303, ZNF141, DSCAM, GPR27, PROK2, ARPP-21, and B3GAT1 were observed frequently in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue specimens. These data about the patterns of genomic alterations could be a basic step for understanding more detailed genetic events in the carcinogenesis and also provide information for diagnosis and treatment in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The high resolution of array-CGH combined with human genome database would give a chance to find out possible target genes which were gained or lost clones.
