We have proposed and demonstrated an gas-flow sensor using optical fiber bragg grating(FEG). The flow sensor has no electronics and no mechanical parts in its sensing part and the structure is th11s simple and immune to electromagnetic interference(EMI). The FEG sensor was consisted qf the sensing element and a coil heater. The metal coil was used to supply the current to the FEG. While some currents supply to the coil, the refractive index of the FEG under the coil is changed and thus the wavelength shift of fiber optic sensor was induced In this work, the wavelength shift according to flow-rate was experimentally studied and was used to evaluate the gas flow-rate in a gas tube. As a result, it was possible to measure the flow-rate in a linear range from 5 to $20{\ell}/min$ with a resolution of approximately $1{\ell}/min$ at the applied currents of 100 mA and 120 mA. The measured sensitivities were $15.3\;pm/\ell/min$ for 100 mA and $20.2\;pm/\ell/min$ for 120 mA.

Eosinophilic granuloma is a common hypersensitive inflammatory skin disease in cats, and rare in dogs and horses. The skin biopsies of 5 years old female Cocker spaniel and 2 years old female mixed dog had the clinical signs of skin nodules with alopecia were submitted for diagnosis. Solitary skin nodules and papillary nodules were presented on the left external ear and back of Cocker spaniel and on the external ear of mixed dog, respectively. Histopathologically, epidermis of skin showed mild to severe hyperplasia with multifocal ulceration. Small to large irregular, brightly eosinophilic foci with degenerating eosinophils and homogeneous degenerated collagens were existed in the dermis of both ear and back skin. Typical 'flame figures', a mixture of degenerated collagen and degranulated eosinophils, were observed in both cases. Based on the histopathologic findings and special staining characters, 2 cases were diagnosed as canine eosinophilic granuloma. This is the first report for the eosinophilic granuloma of dogs in Korea.

The addressing time should be reduced by modifying cell and/or driving method in order to replace the dual scan system by single scan and increase the luminance in large ac plasma display panel(PDP). In this paper, the relationships between of discharge cell structure and addressing time in ac PDP are investigated. It is found out that the addressing time was decreased with decreasing gap of ITO electrode and thickness of transparence dielectric layer on the front glass. The decrease rates were 4% per $10{\mu}m$ and 4% per $5{\mu}m$, respectively. Also in cases of decreasing height of barrier rip and thickness of white dielectric layer on the rear glass, addressing times were at the rate of 4% per $10{\mu}m$ and 4% per $2{\mu}m$, respectively.

In this paper, we presented the synchronization module between RF shower system and RFID Reader to extend interrogating range on Mobile RFID system, Costas Loop and FPLL(Frequency/phase Lock Loop) were used. We achieved compromised range of 3MHz locking frequency, 1ms locking time and figured out remarkable Hopping frequency of the Reader. The prototype of the new designed RFID system has been tested with ISO18000-6 type-B Tag. The read range between designed RFID Reader and Tag has been measured, it increased triple times by adjusting the Shower system output level.

Borrmann type 4 gastric cancers are notorious for the difficulty of finding cancer cells in the biopsy samples obtained from gastrofiberscopy. It is important to obtain the biopsy results for making surgical decisions. In cases with Borrmann type 4 gastric cancer, even though the radiological findings (such as an upper gastrointestinal series, abdominal computed tomography and positron emission tomography/computed tomography) or the macroscopic findings of a gastrofiberscopy examination imply a high suspicion of cancer, there can be difficulty in getting the definite pathologic results despite multiple biopsies. In these cases, we have performed endoscopic mucosal resection under gastrofiberscopy as an alternative to simple biopsies. Here we report on a case in which no cancer cells were found even in the endoscopic mucosal resection specimen, but the radiologic evidence and clinical findings were highly suspicious for gastric cancer. The patient finally underwent total gastrectomy with lymph node resection, and she was pathologically diagnosed as having stage IV gastric cancer postoperatively.

Pulmonary mucormycosis is an uncommon opportunistic fungal infection associated with diabetis mellitus, leukemia, lymphoma & other debilitating diseases. Their clinical presentations depend on the associated underlying disorders. Generally patients with leukemia and lymphoma often have rapidly progressive clinical course, and may cause diffuse parenchymal disease refractory to medical and surgical therapies. However, some diabetics with pulmonary mucormycosis have a striking tendency to develop a localized endobronchial disease in major airway which is amenable to therapy with surgery and Amphotericin B. We have experienced a case of endobronchial mucormycosis complicating lung abscess associated with diabetic ketoacidosis, which was cured without specific antifungal therapy or surgery. A brief review of the literature was given.

Numerous psychological stressors playa role in development of the cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine whether a combined mental activity with experimental subway noise affects hematological physiology. Fifty-four healthy volunteers were divided group I which underwent subway noise (n=24) and group II which underwent a combined mental activity with subway noise (n=30). Venous blood samples were collected for measuring CBC, prothrombine time (PT), activated partial thromboplastine time (APTT), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), D-dimer and high sensitive C-reactive protein (H-CRP) levels before, 50 min of stress task (S-50m) and 60 min of recovery (R-60m). Changed ratios of granulocyte, lymphocyte, monocyte and platelet counts at S-50m and R-60m were higher in group II compared to group I. RBC count and hematocrit level in group I increased whereas those in group II decreased at S-50m. PT, APTT and ESR in the both groups were shortened at R-60m and the decreased ratios were high in group II compared to group I. H-CRP and D-dimer in the both groups were elevated at S-50m and R-60m while the increased ratios in group II were greater than those in group I. These observations imply that a combined mental activity with experimental subway noise may be a stressor which affects hematological physiology.

Lindera obtusiloba has been used in traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of blood stasis and inflammation. The leaves of Lindera obtusiloba have been reported to exhibit various physiological activities. However, there is little information available on their antiplatelet and antithrombotic activities. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Lindera obtusiloba leaf extract (LLE) on platelet activities, coagulation and thromboembolism. In a platelet aggregation study, LLE significantly inhibited various agonist-induced platelet aggregations in vitro and ex vivo. Furthermore, LLE significantly inhibited collagen-induced thromboxane A2 (TXA2) production in rat platelets. In addition, oral administration of LLE was protective in a mouse model of pulmonary thromboembolism induced by intravenous injection of a mixture of collagen and epinephrine. Interestingly, LLE did not significantly alter prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). This study indicates that the antithrombotic effects of LLE might be due to its antiplatelet activities rather than anticoagulation. Taken together, these results suggest that LLE may be a candidate preventive and therapeutic agent in cardiovascular diseases associated with platelet hyperactivity.

본 논문에서는 가시광 LED를 이용한 근거리 수중 광무선 통신 기술을 제안하였다. 수중 통신을 위한 기존 음향 시스템의 대안으로 부상하는 가시광 LED 통신은 고품질의 높은 통신 속도를 보장한다. 수중에서 근거리 통신을 위하여 주파수 변조 방식을 적용한 광 무선 오디오 시스템을 개발하였으며 CD4046B 위상잠김루프를 이용하여 주파수 변조와 복조 회로 부분을 구현하였다. 수조내에서 송신단과 수신단을 30 cm 떨어뜨린 후 100 kHz의 변조 중심 주파수에서 오디오 신호를 전송하여 성공적으로 수신됨을 확인하였다.
