A low molecular weight component named bone morphogenetic protein(BMP) chemically isolated from the organic matrix of bone, induce postfetal connective tissue cells surrounding small blood vessels to differentiate into cartilage and bone. The end product of BMP is a spherical ossicle of lamella bone filled with red bone marrow for the functional loading. This is a important point that the graft material is embedded the defect site during the implant surgery. Because present knowledge of the relationship between BMP and bone regeneration arises mainly from studies of induced bone formation in heterotopic sites, it would be helpful to determine whether BMP plays any part in the process of bone healing. The BMPs have been shown to play crucial roles in normal skeletal development as well as bone healing and are able to activate transcription of genes involved in cellular migration, proliferation, and differentiation. The delivery of BMP on matrices has been efficacious in the treatment of defect bone in implant surgery. The purpose of the histologic study was to evaluate the effect of DLB(demineralized lyophilized bone) coated with purified human BMP(hBMP-I) in immediate implant surgery with bony defect to obtain the functional structure of implant asap. The ability of a graft of hBMP-I to accelerate bony defect repair provides a rationale for its use in immediate implant surgery that have large bone defect in edentulous area.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic performance of ultrasound (US)-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology and core-needle biopsy (US-FNAC/CNB) for the diagnosis of laryngo-hypopharyngeal masses. Materials and Methods: This was a single-center prospective case series. From January 2018 to June 2019, we initially enrolled 40 patients with highly suspicious laryngo-hypopharyngeal masses on laryngoscopic examinations. Of these, 28 patients with the mass involving or abutting the pre-epiglottic, paraglottic, pyriform sinus, and/or subglottic regions were finally included. These patients underwent US examinations with/without subsequent US-FNAC/CNB under local anesthesia for evaluation of the laryngo-hypopharyngeal mass. Results: Of the 28 patients who underwent US examinations, a laryngo-hypopharyngeal mass was identified in 26 patients (92.9%). US-FNAC/CNB was performed successfully in 25 of these patients (96.2%), while the procedure failed to target the mass in 1 patient (3.8%). The performance of US caused minor subclinical hematoma in 2 patients (7.7%), but no major complications occurred. US-FNAC/CNB yielded conclusive results in 24 (96.0%) out of the 25 patients with a successful procedure, including 23 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 1 patient with a benign mass. In one patient with atypical cells in US-FNAC, additional direct laryngoscopic biopsy (DLB) was required to confirm SCC. Among the 26 patients who received US-FNAC/CNB, the time from first visit to pathological diagnosis was 7.8 days. For 24 patients finally diagnosed with SCC, the time from first visit to the initiation of treatment was 25.2 days. The mean costs associated with US-FNAC/CNB was $272 under the Korean National Health Insurance Service System. Conclusion: US-FNAC/CNB for a laryngo-hypopharyngeal mass is technically feasible in selected patients, providing good diagnostic performance. This technique could be used as a first-line diagnostic modality by adopting appropriate indications to avoid general anesthesia and DLB-related complications.

본 논문에서는 ATM 망에서의 통합 네트워크 구현을 위한 IP data packet를 처리하기 위한 AAL type5 프로토콜 프로세서를 설계 및 구현하였다. AAL 계층의 중요 기능들은 ITU-T Recommendation 1.363과 1.363.5 에 근거하여 설계하였다. AAL 계층의 주요한 역할은 데이터의 Segmentation 및 셀의 Reassembly를 하는 것으로, Segmentation 과정에서는 상위 계층의 연속적인 데이터를 Segmentation하여 53-byte 크기의 ATM 셀을 구성하는 기능이다. Reassembly 과정에서는 들어오는 셀들을 연속적인 데이터로 만들어 AAL 계층 보다 상위 계층으로 전달하는 것이다. 이 과정에서 셀의 Header 를 확인한 후 crc-32를 통한 오류 검정을 거치게 되며, 데이터에 오류가 있을 경우에는 해당 셀을 버리고 오류가 없을 시에만 상위 계층으로 전달한다. 본 논문에서 구현한 AAL Type 5 프로세서는 향후 모든 Type의 data를 수용하는 칩 개발에 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 본 논문에서 원할한 테스트를 위해 데이터의 loop back 신호 DLB를 사용했다 VHDL 해석기로는 Synopsys 사의 VHDL Analyzer를 사용하였고, Design Compiler로 회로를 합성하였다.

본 논문은 위성 망에서 데이터 Traffic을 다루는 System을 제안하고, 성능을 분석한다. Traffic Source는 듀얼 리키 버켓(DLB : Dual Leaky Bucket)에 의해 일정하게 조정된 Traffic을 사용하며, 이러한 Traffic을 이용하여 제안한 시스템의 성능을 수학적으로 분석하고, 이를 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다. 제안한 시스템은 각 연결의 용량 변경 요구를 동적으로 허락하기 때문에 그 연결 자체의 초기화 설정 및 연결을 해제하는 다른 별도의 알고리즘이 필요 없어 기존의 회선 교환 시스템보다 효율적이다. 또한, 서비스 질을 결정적으로 보장함으로 망의 유연성 및 신뢰성을 높인다. 이러한 분석 결과는 앞으로 회선 교환 System에서 Protocol의 설계 및 구현 시 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This paper shows a technique for regulating the rate emitted by UWB mobile terminals. This technique is designed to adapt the emission rate to the effects of channel capacity variations. We assume that individual flows are shaped at edge routers by means of dual leaky buckets. The proposal is based on the evaluation of certain parameters, which reflect the channel status, sent to the application layer. This information is generated by the scheduler designed to guarantee appropriate channel sharing for the various traffic components. We describe some results which highlight how performance depends on the specific operating conditions, as well as on the traffic descriptors of the flows, their reciprocal difference, and performance requirements.

Background and Purpose: Dementia subtypes, including Alzheimer's dementia (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), pose diagnostic challenges. This review examines the effectiveness of ¹⁸F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET) in differentiating these subtypes for precise treatment and management. Methods: A systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was conducted using databases like PubMed and Embase to identify studies on the diagnostic utility of ¹⁸F-FDG PET in dementia. The search included studies up to November 16, 2022, focusing on peer-reviewed journals and applying the goldstandard clinical diagnosis for dementia subtypes. Results: From 12,815 articles, 14 were selected for final analysis. For AD versus FTD, the sensitivity was 0.96 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.88-0.98) and specificity was 0.84 (95% CI, 0.70-0.92). In the case of AD versus DLB, ¹⁸F-FDG PET showed a sensitivity of 0.93 (95% CI 0.88-0.98) and specificity of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.70-0.92). Lastly, when differentiating AD from non-AD dementias, the sensitivity was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.80-0.91) and the specificity was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.80-0.91). The studies mostly used case-control designs with visual and quantitative assessments. Conclusions: ¹⁸F-FDG PET exhibits high sensitivity and specificity in differentiating dementia subtypes, particularly AD, FTD, and DLB. This method, while not a standalone diagnostic tool, significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy in uncertain cases, complementing clinical assessments and structural imaging.

Objective: To localize the neuroanatomical substrate of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and to investigate the neuroanatomical locational relationship between RBD and α-synucleinopathy neurodegenerative diseases. Materials and Methods: Using a systematic PubMed search, we identified 19 patients with lesions in different brain regions that caused RBD. First, lesion network mapping was applied to confirm whether the lesion locations causing RBD corresponded to a common brain network. Second, the literature-based RBD lesion network map was validated using neuroimaging findings and locations of brain pathologies at post-mortem in patients with idiopathic RBD (iRBD) who were identified by independent systematic literature search using PubMed. Finally, we assessed the locational relationship between the sites of pathological alterations at the preclinical stage in α-synucleinopathy neurodegenerative diseases and the brain network for RBD. Results: The lesion network mapping showed lesions causing RBD to be localized to a common brain network defined by connectivity to the pons (including the locus coeruleus, dorsal raphe nucleus, central superior nucleus, and ventrolateral periaqueductal gray), regardless of the lesion location. The positive regions in the pons were replicated by the neuroimaging findings in an independent group of patients with iRBD and it coincided with the reported pathological alterations at post-mortem in patients with iRBD. Furthermore, all brain pathological sites at preclinical stages (Braak stages 1-2) in Parkinson's disease (PD) and at brainstem Lewy body disease in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) were involved in the brain network identified for RBD. Conclusion: The brain network defined by connectivity to positive pons regions might be the regulatory network loop inducing RBD in humans. In addition, our results suggested that the underlying cause of high phenoconversion rate from iRBD to neurodegenerative α-synucleinopathy might be pathological changes in the preclinical stage of α-synucleinopathy located at the regulatory network loop of RBD.
