  • Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the tumor doubling time of invasive lung adenocarcinoma according to the International Association of the Study for Lung Cancer (IASLC)/American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society (ERS) histologic classification. Materials and Methods: Among the 2905 patients with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma, we retrospectively included 172 patients (mean age, 65.6 ± 9.0 years) who had paired thin-section non-contrast chest computed tomography (CT) scans at least 84 days apart with the same CT parameters, along with 10 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (mean age, 70.9 ± 7.4 years) for comparison. Three-dimensional semiautomatic segmentation of nodules was performed to calculate the volume doubling time (VDT), mass doubling time (MDT), and specific growth rate (SGR) of volume and mass. Multivariate linear regression, one-way analysis of variance, and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed. Results: The median VDT and MDT of lung cancers were as follows: acinar, 603.2 and 639.5 days; lepidic, 1140.6 and 970.1 days; solid/micropapillary, 232.7 and 221.8 days; papillary, 599.0 and 624.3 days; invasive mucinous, 440.7 and 438.2 days; and squamous cell carcinoma, 149.1 and 146.1 days, respectively. The adjusted SGR of volume and mass of the solid-/micropapillary-predominant subtypes were significantly shorter than those of the acinar-, lepidic-, and papillary-predominant subtypes. The histologic subtype was independently associated with tumor doubling time. A VDT of 465.2 days and an MDT of 437.5 days yielded areas under the curve of 0.791 and 0.795, respectively, for distinguishing solid-/micropapillary-predominant subtypes from other subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: The tumor doubling time of invasive lung adenocarcinoma differed according to the IASCL/ATS/ERS histologic classification.

  • Objective: To compare the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced radial T1-weighted gradient-echo 3-tesla (3T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) for the detection of visceral pleural surface invasion (VPSI). Visceral pleural invasion by non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be classified into two types: PL1 (without VPSI), invasion of the elastic layer of the visceral pleura without reaching the visceral pleural surface, and PL2 (with VPSI), full invasion of the visceral pleura. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three patients with pathologically confirmed VPSI by NSCLC were retrospectively reviewed. Multidetector CT and contrast-enhanced 3T MRI with a free-breathing radial three-dimensional fat-suppressed volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination (VIBE) pulse sequence were compared in terms of the length of contact, angle of mass margin, and arch distance-to-maximum tumor diameter ratio. Supplemental evaluation of the tumor-pleura interface (smooth versus irregular) could only be performed with MRI (not discernible on CT). Results: At the tumor-pleura interface, radial VIBE MRI revealed a smooth margin in 20 of 21 patients without VPSI and an irregular margin in 10 of 12 patients with VPSI, yielding an accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and F-score for VPSI detection of 91%, 83%, 95%, 91%, 91%, and 87%, respectively. The McNemar test and receiver operating characteristics curve analysis revealed no significant differences between the diagnostic accuracies of CT and MRI for evaluating the contact length, angle of mass margin, or arch distance-to-maximum tumor diameter ratio as predictors of VPSI. Conclusion: The diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced radial T1-weighted gradient-echo 3T MRI and CT were equal in terms of the contact length, angle of mass margin, and arch distance-to-maximum tumor diameter ratio. The advantage of MRI is its clear depiction of the tumor-pleura interface margin, facilitating VPSI detection.

  • This study was conducted to find out the correlation between meat quality and muscle fat ratio in pork part meat (pork belly and shoulder butt) using CT (computed tomography) imaging technique. After 24 hours from slaughter, pork loin and belly were individually prepared from the left semiconductors of 26 pigs for CT measurement. The image obtained from CT scans was checked through the picture archiving and communications system (PACS). The volume of muscle and fat in the pork belly and shoulder butt of cross-sectional images taken by CT was estimated using Vitrea workstation version 7. This assemblage was further processed through Vitrea post-processing software to automatically calculate the volumes (Fig. 1). The volumes were measured in milliliters (mL). In addition to volume calculation, a three-dimensional reconstruction of the organ under consideration was generated. Pearson's correlation coefficient was analyzed to evaluate the relationship by region (pork belly, pork shoulder butt), and statistical processing was performed using GraphPad Prism 8. The muscle-fat ratios of pork belly taken by CT was 1 : 0.86, while that of pork shoulder butt was 1 : 0.37. As a result of CT analysis of the correlation coefficient between pork belly and shoulder butt compared to the muscle-fat ratio, the correlation coefficient was 0.5679 (R2 = 0.3295, p < 0.01). CT imaging provided very good estimates of muscle contents in cuts and in the whole carcass.

  • Objective: To investigate the agreement and reliability of estimating the volumes and normative percentiles (N%) of segmented brain regions among NeuroQuant (NQ), DeepBrain (DB), and FreeSurfer (FS) software programs, focusing on the comparison between NQ and DB. Materials and Methods: Three-dimensional T1-weighted images of 145 participants (48 healthy participants, 50 patients with mild cognitive impairment, and 47 patients with Alzheimer's disease) from a single medical center (SMC) dataset and 130 participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset were included in this retrospective study. All images were analyzed with DB, NQ, and FS software to obtain volume estimates and N% of various segmented brain regions. We used Bland-Altman analysis, repeated measures ANOVA, reproducibility coefficient, effect size, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to evaluate inter-method agreement and reliability. Results: Among the three software programs, the Bland-Altman plot showed a substantial bias, the ICC showed a broad range of reliability (0.004-0.97), and repeated-measures ANOVA revealed significant mean volume differences in all brain regions. Similarly, the volume differences of the three software programs had large effect sizes in most regions (0.73-5.51). The effect size was largest in the pallidum in both datasets and smallest in the thalamus and cerebral white matter in the SMC and ADNI datasets, respectively. N% of NQ and DB showed an unacceptably broad Bland-Altman limit of agreement in all brain regions and a very wide range of ICC values (-0.142-0.844) in most brain regions. Conclusion: NQ and DB showed significant differences in the measured volume and N%, with limited agreement and reliability for most brain regions. Therefore, users should be aware of the lack of interchangeability between these software programs when they are applied in clinical practice.

  • Adhesive bonding is currently widely used in many industrial fields, particularly in the aeronautics sector. Despite its advantages over mechanical joints such as riveting and welding, adhesive bonding is mostly used for secondary structures due to its low peel strength; especially if it is simultaneously exposed to temperature and humidity; and often presence of bonding defects. In fact, during joint preparation, several types of defects can be introduced into the adhesive layer such as air bubbles, cavities, or cracks, which induce stress concentrations potentially leading to premature failure. Indeed, the presence of defects in the adhesive joint has a significant effect on adhesive stresses, which emphasizes the need for a good surface treatment. The research in this field is aimed at minimizing the stresses in the adhesive joint at its free edges by geometric modifications of the ovelapping part and/or by changing the nature of the substrates. In this study, the finite element method is used to describe the mechanical behavior of bonded joints. Thus, a three-dimensional model is made to analyze the effect of defects in the adhesive joint at areas of high stress concentrations. The analysis consists of estimating the different stresses in an adhesive joint between two 2024-T3 aluminum plates. Two types of single lap joints(SLJ) were analyzed: a standard SLJ and another modified by removing 0.2 mm of material from the thickness of one plate along the overlap length, taking into account several factors such as the applied load, shape, size and position of the defect. The obtained results clearly show that the presence of a bonding defect significantly affects stresses in the adhesive joint, which become important if the joint is subjected to a higher applied load. On the other hand, the geometric modification made to the plate considerably reduces the various stresses in the adhesive joint even in the presence of a bonding defect.

  • 목적: 다양한 원인으로 발생된 Abfraction 병소가 있는 치아를 금속도재관으로 수복 할 경우, 변연의 위치에 따라 예후가 다양해질 수 있다. 수복물의 장기적 성공을 검증하기 위해서는 응력분포의 분석이 필요하지만 금속도재관이 abfraction 병소의 적응증인 경우 금속도재관이 응력 분포에 미치는 영향을 밝히는 연구는 아직 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 abfraction 병소가 있는 치아를 수복하는 금속도재관이 바람직한 응력 분포를 나타낼 수 있는 조건을 알아 보고자 함이다. 재료 및 방법: 치아, 주위 조직과 금속 도재관의 외형을 반영한 2차원 유한 요소모델을 제작하고 144 N의 편심 교합력 하에서의 응력분포를 유한요소 분석법으로 분석하였다. 금속 도재관의 변연 위치를 쐐기모양의 결손부의 하연에(Group 0), 그리고 결손부의 하연보다 1 mm 하방(Group 1)과 2mm 하방(Group2)에 위치시켰다. 결과: Group 0에서 von Mises stress는 금속 도재관의 변연과 결손부의 첨부에 집중 되었고 협측 변연의 응력은 설측 부위로 분포되었다. Group 1과 Group 2에서의 응력분포양상은 비슷하게 나타났다. 응력은 결손부의 첨부에 집중되지만 협측과 설측의 응력띠는 서로 분리된 양상으로 나타났다. 결론: 금속도재관의 변연을 Abfraction 병소의 하연에 설정할 경우, 금속도재관은 Abfraction 병소의 첨부에 응력을 집중시킨다.

  • ADCP는 하천의 3차원 유속과 수심 자료를 매우 효율적이고 빠르게 측정할 수 있으며, 그 자료의 공간 및 시간적 해상도는 기존의 전통적인 유속 측정 방법들과 비교하여 매우 정밀하다는 장점이 있다. 하지만 ADCP는 하상 부근과 센서 근처에서의 미계측 영역이 발생하고 이 미계측 영역의 유속을 얼마나 정확하게 산정하느냐에 따라 ADCP 유량 측정의 정확도에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 ADCP 유량 산정 시 범용적으로 활용되고 있는 1/6 멱법칙(power law)을 활용한 미계측 영역의 유량 측정 결과의 정확도를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 실규모 직선수로에서 ADCP를 고정시킨 상태에서 측정한 유속 자료를 1/6 멱법칙과 대수 법칙(log law)을 적용하여 외삽 한 유속분포와 유량 산정 결과를 ADV를 이용하여 정밀하게 측정한 결과와 비교하였다. 비교 결과 전체적으로 대수 법칙으로 외삽한 경우가 높은 정확도를 나타냈으며, 수표면 근처 미계측 영역에서는 1/6 멱법칙은 유량을 작게 산정하는 경향을 나타냈고, 하상 근처의 미계측 영역에서는 유량을 크게 산정하는 경향을 나타냈다. 이 결과는 기존 1/6 멱법칙을 활용한 하상 및 수표면 부근 미계측 영역 유량 추정 방법이 오차를 수반함을 의미한다. 따라서 ADCP 정지법 측정 방식을 사용할 경우, 대수 법칙이 1/6 멱법칙보다 정확한 상하부 미계측 유량 추정 결과를 보여주었으므로 대안으로 고려되어야 할 것이다. 또한 제방 근처 미계측 영역의 유량 측정 정확도를 높이기 위해서는 수심이 0.6 m 이상을 확보한 측선을 기준으로 유량을 산정할 경우 신뢰도 높은 유량 측정 결과를 보였다. 향후, ADCP 정지법 측정 방식에 비해 보다 많이 활용되고 있는 보트탑재 이동식 ADCP의 경우도 이와 같은 검증이 필요하다고 하겠다.
