Objectives: This study was aimed to analyze the reducing pattern of decompression on mandibular odontogenic keratocyst and to determine the proper time for secondary enucleation. Materials and methods: Seventeen patients with OKC of the mandible were treated by decompression. Forty-five series of CT data were taken during decompression and measured by using InVivo software (Anatomage, San Jose, Calif) and were analyzed. Results: The expected relative volume during decompression is calculated using the following formula: V(t) = V_initial × exp.(at + 1/2bt²) (t = duration after decompression (day)). There was no significant directional indicator in the rate of reduction between buccolingual and mesiodistal widths. Conclusion: The volume reduction rate gradually decreased, and 270 days were required for 50% volume reduction following decompression of OKC. The surgeon should be aware of this pattern to determine the timing for definitive enucleation. Clinical relevance: The volume reduction rate and pattern of decompression of the OKC can be predicted and clinicians should be considered when treating OKC via decompression.

소화설비는 초기소화를 목적으로 설치하여 소방대의 본격소화활동이전에 사용하는 소방설비로서 소화성능은 물론 사용자의 안전을 보장하여야 한다. 옥내소화전설비의 경우 건축물에 많이 설치된 소화설비로서 화재 시 사용자가 밸브조작 및 호스와 노즐을 수동으로 사용해야하는 설비이다. 따라서 방수압력이 0.70 MPa보다 높은 경우 조작과 호스파손 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이를 방지하기위해 사용되는 감압방식 중 옥내소화전방수구인 앵글밸브에 오리피스형태인 감압밸브를 부착하는 방식을 많이 사용하고 있다. 하지만 감압밸브는 구조적인 문제로 인하여 사용기간의 경과에 따라 감압성능이 저하되는 것을 확인하였다. 이에 따라 3단계의 초기압력을 기준으로 감압오리피스의 직경별 감압성능을 측정하여 적용 가능한 압력범위를 선정하고 이를 자료로 시간경과에도 감압성능의 저하를 최소화 하는 안정적인 감압밸브 모델을 제시하였다.

본 논문에서는 SoC 테스트를 위한 새로운 테스트 데이터 압축 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 압축 방법은 테스트 데이터 압축을 위해 압축율과 하드웨어 오버헤드를 고려하여 최대 효율을 가지도록 하는데 기초하고 있다. 압축율을 높이기 위해서 본 논문에서는 IR 기법과 MSCIR 압축 코드를 사용하며, 뿐만아니라 이를 위한 사전 작업인 새로운 맵핑 기법 및 테스트 패턴순서 재조합 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 연구와는 달리 CSR 구조를 사용하지 않고 원래의 테스트 데이터를 사용하여 압축하는 방법을 사용한다. 이렇게 함으로써 제안하는 압축 방법은 기존의 연구에 비해 훨씬 높은 압축율을 가지며 낮은 하드웨어 오버헤드의 디컴프레션 구조를 가진다. ISCAS '89 벤치 회로에 대한 기존의 연구와의 비교로서 그 결과를 알 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 압축 해제 호환성을 갖춘 병렬 처리 Deflate 압축 알고리즘을 구현하기 위하여 병렬 압축 및 압축 해제에 필수적인 정보를 복수의 비 압축 블록(Non-Compression Block)내의 버려지는 영역(Disposed Bit Area)에 저장하는 방식으로 구성한 컨트롤 헤더를 삽입하는 새로운 방식을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 기존 압축 해제 프로그램과 완벽한 호환성을 유지하면서도 병렬 압축 및 병렬 압축 해제가 가능하도록 하였다. 또한 순차 처리방식 대비 압축 시간을 최대 71.2% 절감하였고 병렬 압축해제 시간을 65.7%까지 절감하였다. 특히 Deflate 알고리즘의 구조적 제약으로 인해 병렬 압축 해제는 불가능하다고 알려져 있으나, 제안하는 방식을 탑재한 디코더로 알고리즘 수준에서 고속의 병렬 압축 해제가 가능하고, 호환성을 유지하여 동일한 압축 데이터를 기존의 압축 해제 프로그램으로도 정상적 압축 해제가 가능함을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the short term effects of the traction and decompression device, which is a newly developed domestic medical device, on pain and functional activity in patients with chronic low back pain with or without radicular pain. Methods: Forty patients with chronic low back pain were included and allocated to decompression (n=20) and traction groups (n=20). They received decompression or traction therapy for 20 minutes a day, 3 days per week for two weeks. For evaluating pain and functional activity, a visual analogue scale (VAS) for low back pain and the Oswestry back pain disability index (ODI) were obtained on pre-treatment, and at 6, 12 and 15 days after treatment. Patients'satisfaction levels were measured 15 days after treatment. Results: VAS was significantly decreased at 12 days and 15 days post-treatment compared to pre-treatment in both groups (p<0.05). ODI was significantly decreased at 12 days and 15 days post-treatment compared to pre-treatment in the decompression group (p<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the VAS and ODI scales (p>0.05). Patients' satisfaction levels were significantly higher in the decompression group than in the traction group (p<0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that decompression therapy might be effective for increasing functional activity in patients with low back pain and could provide patients with higher satisfaction than traction therapy. This study provided validity data for the therapeutic effects of the decompression device in patients with low back pain and it will be useful for medical cost development and patient education of this device.

Deep learning models such as convolutional neural networks and recurrent neual networks process a huge amounts of data, so they require a lot of storage and consume a lot of time and power due to memory access. Recently, research is being conducted to reduce memory usage and access by compressing data using the feature that many of deep learning data are highly sparse and localized. In this paper, we propose a compression-decompression method of storing only the non-zero data and the location information of the non-zero data excluding zero data. In order to make the location information of non-zero data, the matrix data is divided into sections uniformly. And whether there is non-zero data in the corresponding section is indicated. In this case, section division is not executed only once, but repeatedly executed, and location information is stored in each step. Therefore, it can be properly compressed according to the ratio and distribution of zero data. In addition, we propose a hardware structure that enables compression and decompression without complex operations. It was designed and verified with Verilog, and it was confirmed that it can be used in hardware deep learning accelerators.

Objective : Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common degenerative spine disease that requires surgical intervention. Currently, there is interest in minimally invasive surgery and various technical modifications of decompressive lumbar laminectomy without fusion. The purpose of this study was to present the author's surgical technique and results for decompression of spinal stenosis. Methods : The author performed surgery in 57 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis between 2006 and 2010. Data were gathered retrospectively via outpatient interviews and telephone questionnaires. The operation used in this study was named central decompressive laminoplasty (CDL), which allows thorough decompression of the lumbar spinal canal and proximal two foraminal nerve roots by undercutting the lamina and facet joint. Kyphotic prone positioning on elevated curvature of the frame or occasional use of an interlaminar spreader enables sufficient interlaminar working space. Pain was measured with a visual analogue scale (VAS). Surgical outcome was analyzed with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Data were analyzed preoperatively and six months postoperatively. Results : The interlaminar window provided by this technique allowed for unhindered access to the central canal, lateral recess, and upper/lower foraminal zone, with near-total sparing of the facet joint. The VAS scores and ODI were significantly improved at six-month follow-up compared to preoperative levels (p<0.001, respectively). Excellent pain relief (>75% of initial VAS score) of back/buttock and leg was observed in 75.0% and 76.2% of patients, respectively. Conclusion : CDL is easily applied, allows good field visualization and decompression, maintains stability by sparing ligament and bony structures, and shows excellent early surgical results.

Backgrounds/Aims: Biliary surgery in patients with extrahepatic portal vein obstruction with portal cavernoma (PC) is technically challenging, and associated with the risk of bleeding. Therefore, prior portal vein decompression is usually recommended before definitive biliary surgery. Only a few studies have so far reported the safety of isolated laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We aimed to evaluate our experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with PC without prior portal decompression. Methods: Prospectively maintained data for patients with PC who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstone disease without portal decompression were analyzed. Clinical features, imaging, intraoperative factors, conversion rate, complications of surgery, and long-term outcomes were assessed. Results: Sixteen patients underwent cholecystectomy without portal decompression from 2012 to 2021, of which interventions 14 were laparoscopic cholecystectomies. One patient required conversion (7.1%) to open surgery. Jaundice was present in 5 patients (35.7%), and underwent endoscopic stone clearance before surgery. Median intraoperative blood loss, operative time, and hospital stay were 100 mL (20-400 mL), 105 min (60-220 min), and 2 days (1-7 days), respectively. Blood transfusion was required in two patients (14.2%). Prior endoscopic or percutaneous intervention was associated with significant blood loss and prolonged intraoperative time. Conclusions: In centers with experience, prior portal decompression can be avoided in patients with PC requiring isolated cholecystectomy to treat gallstones or their complications. Laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible for these patients, and gives excellent outcomes in the selected group.
