We present two cases of surgically proven focal nodular hyperplasia whou underwent tri contrast-enhance MR imaging using gadolinium chelates, mangafodipir trisodium, and ferumoxides After the unehanced MR images were obtained, dynamic gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted imagi were performed, then mangafodipir enhanced and ferumoxides-enhanced images were obtained. In one case, the mass was isointense on both T1- and T2-weighted images on the unehanced M images, iso and slightly hyperintense on ferumoxides-enhanced FSE and GRE images, strong hyperintense on the mangafodipir enhanced and gadolinium enhanced arterial phase images. In th other case, the mass was isointense on T2-weighted and hypointense on T1-weighted image isointense on ferumoxides-enhanced images, and hyperintense on mangafodipir enhanced an gadolinium enhanced arterial phase images. Triple contrast enhanced MR images were useful correctly diagnose these two cases preoperatively.

본 논문은 보행/이동수신 환경에서 기존의 ATSC(Advanced Television System Committee) 8-VSB DTV 전송규격의 수신성능을 개선한 Enhanced-xVSB를 제안한다. E-xVSB시스템은 normal(8-VSB) 스트림과 enhanced(robust) 스트림을 섞어 전송하며. robust 스트림은 기존의 8-VSB 스트림인 normal stream에 비해 모드에 따라 TOY(Threshold Of Visibility)를 만족하는 SNR을 획기적으로 개선시킬 수 있으며. 이와 같은 robust 스트림은 E-xVSB 전용수신기가 아닌 기존 수신기에서는 MPEG 스트림 역다중화 과정에서 누락되어지므로 기존의 8-VSB 수신기와 하위호환성을 유지한다. E-xVSB는 이동 및 보행수신 성능개선을 위해 reduced constellation 및 enhanced trellis coded modulation기법을 도입하였으며. 사용목적에 따라 Pseudo-2VSB. Enahnced-4VSB. Enhanced-xVSB 및 Hybrid 모드등 다양한 변조기법을 지원한다.

In this paper, we propose a application of conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) for generation of contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) image. Two types of CT data which were the enhanced and non-enhanced were used and applied by the histogram equalization for adjusting image intensities. In order to validate the generation of contrast enhanced CT data, the structural similarity index measurement (SSIM) was performed. Prepared generated contrast CT data were analyzed the statistical analysis using paired sample t-test. In order to apply the optimized algorithm for the lymph node cancer, they were calculated by short to long axis ratio (S/L) method. In the case of the model trained with CT data and their histogram equalized SSIM were $0.905{\pm}0.048$ and $0.908{\pm}0.047$. The tumor S/L of generated contrast enhanced CT data were validated similar to the ground truth when they were compared to scanned contrast enhanced CT data. It is expected that advantages of Generated contrast enhanced CT data based on deep learning are a cost-effective and less radiation exposure as well as further anatomical information with non-enhanced CT data.

This study investigated the quality properties of enhanced beef, manufactured by injecting the beef with a brine containing winter mushroom juice powder (WMJP). The enhanced beef was manufactured by injecting the eye of round with brine (15% by green weight). Four treatments consisted of control (no injection of brine) and three enhanced beef, EBS (brine containing 5 g sodium chloride per kg beef), EBW 0.2 (brine containing 5 g sodium chloride and 2 g WMJP per kg beef), and EBW 0.5 (brine containing 5 g sodium chloride and 5 g WMJP per kg beef), were tested. The effect of enhancement or WMJP on the quality properties of beef was evaluated during storage at 4℃ for 1, 5, and 10 days. Total aerobic bacteria counts between the control and the enhanced beef, and among EBS, EBW 0.2, and EBW 0.5 were not significantly different after any storage period (p > 0.05). The pH of beef was not different between the control and the enhanced beef, and among enhanced beef at 1 and 5 days of storage (p > 0.05). However, it was higher in the enhanced beef than control, and EBW 0.2 and EBW 0.5 had higher pH than EBS after 10 days of storage (p < 0.05). The enhanced beef showed a high total loss at all storage days (p < 0.05). There were no differences in total loss among enhanced beef after any storage period (p > 0.05). The enhanced beef had no consistent differences in L*, a*, and b* values with control during storage, however, EBW 0.5 showed high color stability. The hardness of the enhanced beef was significantly lower than that of the control after 10 days of storage, although the values were lower at all storage stages. EBS 0.5 had the lowest thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) value among cooked beef of all treatments at all storage days. The enhanced beef received higher scores in all sensory properties than control, and no negative effect of WMJP was found in the sensory quality of the enhanced beef. The use of winter mushroom juice can result in quality improvement in enhanced beef.

This paper described an Enhanced-xVSB system for improving mobile/pedestrian reception performance to the ATSC DTV 8-VSB transmission standard. E-xVSB system can transmit a mixture of normal (8-VSB) stream and enhanced (robust) stream. The robust stream has a higher threshold of visibility (TOV) compared to the standard stream, and legacy receivers ignore the robust packets. Thus, Enhanced-xVSB system is fully backward compatible with a current ATSC standard. for mobile and portable reception support, E-xVSB system adopts a reduced constellation method as well as enhanced trellis-coded modulation scheme. E-xVSB system supports a variety of enhanced modulation schemes: Pseudo-2VSB, Enhanced-4VSB, modified Enhanced-8VSB and Hybrid-VSB. Proposed E-xVSB system performs well under serious dynamic multipath reception environment.

In this study, the reinforced methods of joints were proposed to improve the structural performance of the enhanced spun reinforced concrete piles with joints. To verify the proposed methods, flexure performance was validated by finite element analysis considering both material and contact nonlinearity. Based on the previous study and those results of the analysis, it is concluded that the structural performance of the current joints system for the enhanced spun RC piles can be enhanced by applying the reinforced joints composed of extended circular band plates and studs. This proposed method showed the nearest structural behavior to the enhanced spun RC piles without joints. This numerical study will be used to further experimental study on the enhanced spun RC piles with reinforced joints.

Surgical outcomes of colorectal cancer treatment depend not only on good surgery and tumor biology but also on an optimal perioperative care. The enhanced recovery program (ERP) - a multidisciplinary and multimodal approach, or so called 'fast-track surgery' - has been designed to minimize perioperative and intraoperative stress responses, and to support the recovery of organ function aiming to help patients getting better sooner after surgery. Compared with conventional postoperative care, the enhanced recovery program results in quicker patient recovery, shorter length of hospital stay, faster recovery of gastrointestinal function, and a lower incidence of postoperative complications. Although not firmly established as yet, the enhanced recovery program after surgery could be of oncological benefit in colorectal cancer patients because it can enhance recovery, maintain integrity of the postoperative immune system, increase feasibility of postoperative chemotherapy, and shorten the time interval from surgery to chemotherapy. This commentary summarizes short-term outcomes and potential long-term benefits of enhanced recovery programs in the treatment of colorectal cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate time course of signal enhancement on Gadomer-17 enhance MRI, and to correlate the size of enhanced area with that of the infarct area on 2'3'5'-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride(TTC) histochemical examination for the assessment of myocardial viability in reperfused Myocardial Infarction in a cat model. Tan cats(average weight: 3.8 kg) which had undergone 90 minutes of occlusion of the LAD followed by 90 minutes of reperfusion underwent MR T2-weighted imaging, and T1-weighted imaging, enhanced T1-weighted imaging. We used 1.5T Magneton Vision MRI system(Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). Signal intensities were measured in the enhanced and non-enhanced areas of enhanced T1-weighted imaging. and TTC histochemical staining the size of the abnormal signal area on each image was compared with that of the infarct area. Maximum enhancement was detected during a $40{\sim}60$ minute period with an average enhancement of $168{\pm}9.9%$ of normal myocardium. TTC staining revealed that the size of the high signal area on T2-weighted images and of the enhanced area on enhanced T1-weighted images was greater than that of the infarct area($T2=48.1%{\pm}3.7$, enhanced $T1=47.2%{\pm}2.6$, TTC $staining=38.7%{\pm}3.1$ ; p<0.05). In reperfused Myocardial Infarction in a cat model, enhanced MR imaging delineates reversibly and irreversibly damaged myocardium, with a strong enhancement and a broad temporal window. We may therefore expect that enhanced MR image is useful for demonstrating myocardial injury.
