Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of a Korean Medicine Treatment on 89 severe atopic dermatitis patients all through 12 months. Methods : The degree of atopic dermatitis was measured in Objective SCORAD Index (OSI) with photos of patients. Then, the OSI score was estimated according to gender, age and intensity. Results : 1. The ratio of male to female was 41.57 : 58.43. The 24.72% of patients were in 0~11 year-old group, 16.85% were in 12~18 year-old group and 58.43% were in the group above 19 years old. 2. The initial OSI score was 64.43 and the final was 37.03 after 12 months. After 3, 6, 9, 12 months, the OSI score was significantly lower than the initial visit. 3. There was no significant difference between male and female patients on age, OSI scores and OSI improvements. 4. The patients who treated acupuncture were significantly older then who not treated. The OSI improvement had no significant difference whether treated with acupuncture or not. 5. There was no significant difference among 3 different age groups on initial OSI scores. The OSI improvement of 0~11 year-old group was significantly higher than the other groups after 12 month treatment. 6. The OSI score of 97.75% was decreased after 12 month treatment compared to initial visit. 7. After 12 month treatment, the distribution of severe atopic dermatitis was decreased from 100% to 37.08%. 8. There was no significant difference betweent steroid group and non-steroid group on OSI scores at initial visit and after 12 month treatment. Conclusions : The OSI Score of severe atopic dermatitis patients was decreased on the significant rate with Korean medicine treatment for 12 months.

인터넷의 급속한 성장으로 현재 통신 네트워크에서는 통신 프로토콜로서 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 주로 사용하고 있다. 그러나 이와는 달리 국내의 TMN(Telecommunication Management Network) 등에서는 ISO(International Organization for Standardization)에서 제안한 OSI(Open System Interconnection) 프로토콜을 통신 프로토콜로서 여전히 사용하고 있다. 대표적 통신 프로토콜인 TCP/IP와 OSI 프로토콜은 특성, 구조 및 제공하는 기능에서 서로 많은 차이점을 가지고 있어 두 프로토콜간의 연동은 쉽지 않다. 본 연구를 통하여 얻고자 하는 목표는 IP 네트워크클 통하여 연결된 OSI 프로토콜 시스템들간의 상호 연동이나. 본 논문에서는 IP 네트워크를 통한 OSI 프로토펄 시스템간의 상호 연동 방안으로, 멀티캐스트 통신을 간편하고 효율적으로 수행하는 CBT(Core Based Trees) 멀티캐스트 라우팅을 이용한 새로운 네트워크 터널 방안을 제안하고자 한다.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of a long-term Korean Medicine Treatment on 1035 atopic dermatitis patients Methods : Objective SCORAD Index(OSI) is used for measuring the degree of atopic dermatitis with photos of total 1035 atopic dermatitis patients who has visited oriental clinic from January 9, 2011 to October 31, 2013. Then, OSI was estimated according to gender, age, period of treatment and intensity. Results : 1. The ratio of male to female was 44.4 : 55.6. All patients were constituted with 26.5% of 0~11 year-old group, 15.7% of 12~18 year-old and 57.9% of 19 and more year-old. 2. The ratio of OSI improvement was significantly higher in women than in men after 3 month treatment, but there was no significant difference after 6, 9 and 12 months. 3. The OSI improvement of 0~11 year-old group was significantly higher than the other groups after 3 month treatment. But at the other periods of treatment, there was no significantly difference of the improvement among 3 different groups of age. 4. After 3, 6, 9 and 12 month treatment, the score of OSI was significantly lower than before treatment. After 12 month treatment, the score of OSI was lowest compared to the other periods of treatment. 5. The final OSI score of 87.7% patients was decreased compared to the initial. 6. All patients had been divided with 1.93% of the mild, 22.7% of the moderate and 75.4% of the severe by OSI intensity at initial visit. At final visit, the composition of patients was changed to 14.6% of the mild, 53.7% of the moderate and 31.7% of the severe. 7. The mild patients had got 42.56% of OSI improvement at the final. And the moderate had got 37.72% of OSI improvement at the final. 8. The severe patients had got 36.76% of OSI improvement at the final. And 89.2% of the severe had got decreased final OSI score compared to the initial.

This paper discusses a distributed implementation of the Biba security policy model. Implementation of an service in the OSI-RM is not sufficient for enforcing the Biba model. Also confidentiality services are necessary. Public Key Systems(PKSs) are considered for the realization of these security services. In this paper symmetric & asymmetric cryptographic systems are considered for the realization of these security service. It is investigated how key-distributions can be found resulting in a minimum number of key.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment on 69 infant and young child atopic dermatitis patients. Methods 69 infants and young child atopic dermatitis patients who had visited oriental medical clinics from 2011.1.9 to 2012.1.31 were studied. All of them were continually treated for 3 to 9 months, and were analyzed by Objective SCORAD Index (OSI). A detailed analysis of OSI was done according to gender, age, using of topical steroid ointment, family history of atopic disease, treatment period, and intensity. Results 1. Male and female percentage of the study group was 56.5%: 43.5%. The average period of treatment was 6.09 months. 71.0% used topical steroid ointment, and 65.2% had family history of atopic disease. 2. The average period of treatment was significantly longer in patients who used topical steroid ointment, or who had family history of atopic disease. 3. 95.7% of total patients reported decrease in OSI score at the final visit. OSI was significantly lowered after 3, 6, and 9 months of treatment. The longer period of treatment, the lower average post-treatment OSI. 4. 85.5% of the study group had severe dermatitis, and 14.5% was moderate case based on the OSI intensity assessment at initial visit. These percentages got changed at the final visit as 34.8% of severe, 58.0% of moderate, and 7.2% of mild cases. The average treatment period of patients who were diagnosed as severe at the initial visit was 6.18 months, and their final OSI improvement rate was 39.58%. 58% of them were improved to be mild or moderate at the final visit. Conclusion The Korean medicine treatment is effective in treating infant and young child atopic dermatitis patients. There was significant decrease in OSI score after 3, 6, and 9 months of treatment. The difference increase with the treatment period.

We compared sea ice concentration(SIC) and sea ice extent(SIE) using EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facilities(OSI SAF) and NASA Team(NT) sea ice algorithm in the Arctic during 1980-2010 to investigate the difference between sea ice data applied different algorithms. SIC and SIE of the two data showed different consistency by season and by sea area. Seasonally, SIC of OSI SAF was 0.85 % overall, 0.48 % in spring, 0.97 % in summer, 1.38 % in autumn and 0.66 % in winter higher than NT SIC. By sea area, OSI SAF SIC was 2.7 %, SIE was $198,000km^2$ higher than NT in Arctic Ocean, but in Lincoln Sea, OSI SAF SIC was 2.3 %, SIE was $20,000km^2$ lower than NT.

Objectives : This study was aimed to evaluate the correlation between changes in disease severity and serum total IgE or eosinophil count in individual patients of atopic dermatitis depending on the change of severity. Methods : We performed a retrospective chart review of 8 cases of atopic dermatitis who underwent blood tests more than five times. Disease severity was assessed by objective SCORing of Atopic Dermatitis index (OSI). Blood tests include serum total IgE, eosinophil counts, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr). In each subject, on the day that the blood test was performed, OSI was also assesed by a same physician. Correlation between OSI and total IgE or eosinophil count was analysed by nonparametric correlation analysis. Results : There was a statistically significant positive correlation between OSI and total IgE in three cases and a positive correlation between OSI and eosinophil count in two cases. In other three cases, there were no significant correlation. There were no cases that OSI correlated with total IgE and eosinophil count at the same time. In all cases, AST, ALT, BUN and SCr were stable. Conclusions : We suggest that total IgE and eosinophil count may reflect the severity of atopic dermatitis differently in individual patients. We also suggest that total IgE and eosinophil counts may be used as biomarkers to predict the severity of atopic dermatitis in some patients depending on the underlying pathology.
