Schwannomas are uncommon neoplasms arising from Schwann cells of the neural sheath. Gastrointestinal schwannomas are rare, accounting for 1% of all malignant gastrointestinal tumors. Colonoscopic biopsy with immunohistochemical (IHC) staining is useful for confirming this tumor. We report on a patient with schwannoma arising from the ascending colon, which was detected by colonoscopy and endoscopic submucosal dissection was attempted. A 41-year-old man presented with abdominal discomfort. The patient was diagnosed with a subepithelial tumor on colonoscopy. He underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection. Histopathology and IHC staining confirmed that the colonic lesion was a benign schwannoma. However, the resection margin was positive. Therefore, laparoscopic ileocolectomy was performed.

In this paper, the design of DYNAMIC CMOS ARRAY LOGIC which has both advantages of dynamic CMOS and array logic circuits is proposed. The major components of DYNAMIC CMOS ARRAY LOGIC are two-stage dunamic CMOS circuits and an internal clock generator. The function block of dynamic CMOS circuits is realized as a parallel interconnection of NMOS transistors. Therefore the operating speed of DYNAMIC CMOS ARRAY LOGIC is much faster than the one of the conventional dynamic CMOS PLAs and static CMOS PLA. Also, the charge redistribution problem by internl delay is solved. The internal clock generator generates four internal clocks that drive all the dynamic CMOS circuits. During evaluation, two clocks of them are delayed as compared with others. Therefore the race problem is completoly eliminated. The internal clock generator also prevents the reduction of circuit output voltage and noise margin due to leakage current and charge coupling without any penalty in circuit operating speed or chip area utilization.

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of ultrasonogram as a preoperative diagnostic tool in thyroid nodular diseases, this study was carried out. Materials and Methods: From January 1998 to December 1999, 51 patients who underwent thyroidectomy were analyzed retrospectively. We compared the finally histopathological results to ultrasonographical findings such as internal consistency, multiplicity of nodules, nodular ehogenicity, nodular capsule or margin, calcification of nodules. Results: There were 47 females and 4 males with 25 benign tumor, 23 malignant tumor and 3 occult carcinoma in histopathological diagnosis. The solid tumors in ultrasonography carried a probability of malignancy as 66.7%(16/24 cases) whereas cystic or mixed tumors as 16.7%(1/6cases) or 23.8%(5/21cases) (p=0.006). The single nodular diseases carried a high probability of malignancy as 50%(13/26cases) whereas multiple diseases as 28.6%(6/21cases). The hypoechogenicity of thyroid nodular disease showed a probability of malignancy as 60%(9/15cases) whereas mixed-echogenicity as 36.4%(4/11cases). The nodules with poorly-defined margin in ultrasonographic findings showed higher probability of malignancy as 63.6% (7/11cases) than the nodules with well -defined margin as 26.5%(9/34 cases) (p=0.025). The nodules with calcification in ultrasonographic findings were represented to high probability of malignancy as 70.6%(12/17cases) compared to those without calcification as 29.4%(10/34cases) (p=0.005). The differency between ultrasonic and histopathological diagnosis was high in solid nodules(33%), 3-4cm sized nodules (28.6%) and mixed echogenecity(27.3%) whereas low in complex nodules with cystic and solid nature(4.8%), 2-3 cm sized nodules(8.3%) and pooly defined margin(9.1%). The accuracies of sonography in differentiating malignacy from benign thyroid nodules were 7.1% of false positivity, 39.1% of false negativity, 60.9% of sensitivity, 92.9% of specificity and 78.4% of accuracy. Conclusion: Sonographic examination was relatively excellent test as a preoperative diagnostic tool in thyroid nodular diseases when detailed checklists were applied such as internal consistency, multiplicity of nodules, nodular ehogenicity, nodular capsule or margin and calcification of nodules.

Malignant melanoma occurs most frequently on the skin. However, it can also arise in other organs and tissues of the body. Primary pulmonary malignant melanoma is a very rare non-epithelial neoplasm accounting for 0.01% of all primary pulmonary tumors. The treatment of choice is surgical resection of the tumor with an oncologically adequate margin as in lobectomy or pneumonectomy. The prognosis of this condition is rather poor. Based on previous data, its 5-year survival is at least 10%. Here, we report a case of an 82-year-old woman whose primary pulmonary melanoma was detected incidentally.

Diagrid structures have been introduced as a fairly modern lateral load-resisting system in the design of high-rise buildings. In this paper, a novel diagrid system called tube-in-tube diagrid building is introduced and assessed through pushover and incremental dynamic analyses. The main objectives of this paper are to find the optimum angle of interior and exterior diagrid tube and evaluate the efficiency of diagrid core on the probability of collapse comparing to the conventional diagrid system. Finally, the seismic performance factors of the proposed system are validated according to the FEMA P695 methodology. To achieve these, 36-story diagrid buildings with various external and internal diagonal angles are designed and then 3-D nonlinear models of these structures developed in PERFORM-3D. The results show that weight of steel material highly depends on diagonal angle of exterior tube. Adding diagrid core generally increases the over-strength factor and collapse margin ratio of tall diagrid buildings confirming high seismic safety margin for tube-in-tube diagrid buildings under severe excitations. Collapse probabilities of both structural systems under MCE records are less than 10%. Finally, response modification factor of 3.0 and over-strength factor of 2.0 and 2.5 are proposed for design of typical diagrid and tube-in-tube diagrid buildings, respectively.

We report two cases of patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgical resection. In the first case, main mass was located at the neck of the pancreas, encasing superior mesenteric artery and peritoneal seeding was suspected. In the second case, main mass was located at the body of pancreas and superior mesenteric artery was encased. Both patients received FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy regimen, consisting of 5-FU, folinic acid, irinotecan and oxaliplatin. In both cases, tumor size decreased and vascular involvement regressed in response to chemotherapy. After subsequent chemoradiation therapy, both patients underwent surgical resection with negative resection margin. The pathological stages were ypT1cN0 and ypT1aN0, respectively. Both patients received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with 6 cycles of 5-FU/folinic acid and remained without evidence of disease for more than 6 months after the surgery.

This paper proposed new IMC-PID controller design method that use loop shaping method. It could consider such design specifications as gain margin, phase margin, sensitivity function etc by appling the loop shaping method for tuning IMC-PID controller whose structure has only one design parameter and guarantees internal stability. To shape desirable loop gain, the relation between these design specification and parameter is derived by mathematical basis. And the availability of proposed in this paper tuning method that can regard design specifications is checked through example comparison and analysis.

The purpose of this study is to establish a design tool for the shrinkage margin of a deckhouse caused by welding and flame straightening. In order to do it, the effects of heat intensity and internal/external restraint condition on the shrinkage of the simple weldments were investigated, in order to identity the principal factors controlling shrinkage caused by welding process and flame straightening. Based on the results, predictive equations for longitudinal and transverse shrinkage at the welded structure were formulated as the function of heat intensity and in-plane rigidity. These equations were verified by comparing predicted results with the measured results at a panel structure of deckhouse.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to compare the internal fit of two different temporary restorations fabricated by dental CAD/CAM system and to evaluate clinical effectiveness. Methods: Composite resin tooth of the maxillary first molar was prepared as occlusal reduction(2.0mm), axial reduction(1mm offset), vertical angle(6 degree) and chamfer margin for a temporary crown and duplicated epoxy die was fabricated. The epoxy dies were used to fabricate provisional restorations by CAD/CAM milling technique or 3D-printing technique. The inner data from all crowns were superimposed on the master die file in the 'best-fit alignment' method using 3D analysis software. Statistical analysis was performed using a Wilcoxon's rank sum test for differences between groups. Results: It showed that the internal RMS(Root Mean Square) values of the additive group were significantly larger than those of other group. No significant differences in internal discrepancies were observed in the temporary crowns among the 2 groups with different manufacturing method. Conclusion: All the groups had the internal fit within the clinical acceptable range (< $50{\mu}m$). The continuous research in the future to be applied clinically for the adaptation of additive manufacturing technique are needed.
