This report constitutes a 7-year study of facial fractures based on a series of 616 patients who were treated for facial fractures as in-patients at Chosun University Dental Hospital between 1998 and April 2005. The following results were obtained : 1. The ratio of men to women was 5 : 1. 2. The major etiological factors were falls (36.2%), traffic accidents (23.4%), punches (18.1%), sports (8.3%), and accidents related to work (2.8%). 3. They were most frequent in the second (28.8%), first (26.6%), and third (12.3) decades, in that order. 4. The sites of frequent mandible fracture are the symphysis (32%), left mandibular angle (25.3%), and right mandibular angle (10.9%). 5. The most frequent maxillary fractures were zygomatic fractures (46.4%), Le Fort I fractures (28.8%), and Le Fort II (12.0%) fractures.

Purpose: Sarcopenia is defined as a decrease in muscle mass, strength, and function with age that affects overall body function. We aimed to investigate the effect of combined training on body composition, balance, and muscle function in sarcopenia elderly. Research design, data, and methodology: Twenty-eight sarcopenia elderly (age 74.9±4.5 years) were randomly assigned to an exercise, EG (n=14), or a control, CG (n=14), group. The EG performed an intervention consisting of combined exercise training (60-75 min) for a total of 12 weeks, three times a week. The CG maintained their usual daily lifestyle during the intervention period. We measured body weight, body mass index (BMI), % body fat, free fat mass, balance ability, peak torque in shoulder, knee, and lumbar joints normalized for bodyweight in one second. Results: The EG showed improved body composition (i.e., BMI, fat-free body mass, fat mass; all p < 0.031, η² > 0.179), balance (i.e., right and left of static and dynamic balance and fast 10 m walk; all p < 0.049, η² > 0.152), and muscular function (i.e., 90°/sec and 180°/sec peak power per kg bodyweight, 90°/sec average power per kg bodyweight, 180°/sec total work, and 180°/sec endurance ratio; all p < 0.045, η² > 0.158). Conclusions: Combined exercise training improves muscle mass and strength, body composition, balance, and muscle function in sarcopenia elderly.

Transposable elements (TEs) account for approximately 45% of the human genome. TEs have proliferated randomly and integrated into functional genes during hominoid radiation. They appear as right-handed B-DNA double helices and slightly elongated left-handed Z-DNAs. Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) families are widely distributed in human chromosomes at a ratio of 8%. They contain a 5'-long terminal repeat (LTR)-gag-pol-env-3'-LTR structure. LTRs contain the U3 enhancer and promoter region, transcribed R region, and U5 region. LTRs can influence host gene expression by acting as regulatory elements. In this review, we describe the alternative promoters derived from LTR elements that overlap Z-DNA by comparing Z-hunt and DeepZ data for human functional genes. We also present evidence showing the regulatory activity of LTR elements containing Z-DNA in GSDML. Taken together, the regulatory activity of LTR elements with Z-DNA allows us to understand gene function in relation to various human diseases.

Estimation of liver size is essential in the diagnosis of liver disease, Many approaches have been attempted in evaluation of liver size such as the measurement of length, area and volume. Among these, area and volume measurements are accurate but complicated, so we commonly use formerly introduced various linear measurements, but in scintigraphy one must calculate the actual liver size using rate of reduction, which is time consuming. Because of these reasons, we carried out present study to represent liver size by means of a simple liver measurement like we express the cardiac size by cardiothoracic ratio. Our cases consisted of 100 clinically normal subjects as the normal group and 50 patients suffering from liver disease and diagnosed to have hepatomegaly on abdominal palpation and scintigram at Dept, of Radiology of St. Mary's Hospital, Catholic Medical College during the period of 8 months from Jan. 1980. We measured the liver size using 4 linear diameters(Fig. 1). And as the reference measurement, the distance from the right margin of the liver to the left margin of the spleen was measured. We called this "abdominal transverse diameter(ATD)". The results were as follows; 1) The smallest value was recorded in the midline vertical diameter (MVD). It was $4.2{\pm}0.4cm$ in normal group and $5.0{\pm}0.6cm$ in the hepatomegaly group. 2) The diameter using other methods ranged from 5.6 to 7.2 cm in the normal group and from 6.3 to 7.5cm in the hepatomegaly group. 3) There was significant difference in the ratio of each diameter to ATD between the normal and hepatomegaly group (<0.01). We called this "hepato-abdominal ratio". 4) The "hepato-abdominal ratio" using MVD is $0.43{\pm}0.06$ in the normal group and $0.53{\pm}0.07$ in the hepatomegaly group. The "hepato-abdominal ratio" of MVD was most significantly different between normal and hepatomegaly group. 5) The tolerance limits(99%) of "hepato-abdominal ratio" using MVD is from 0.41 to 0.45 in the normal group and from 0.51 to 0.55 in the hepatomegaly group. Therefore, by reasons of error during measurement and convenience of memory, it was warranted to suggest hepatomegaly when "hepato-abdominal ratio" using MVD is more than 0.5 in the interpretation of hepatic scintigram.

96 patients underwent cardiac valve replacement for valvular heart diseases consecutively between February 1986 to February 1990 in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of Yeungnam University Hospital. The follow up period was between 6 months and 4.5 years postoperatively[mean 23.4$\pm$13.1 months]. 75 cases got mitral valve replacement, 6 cases, aortic valve replacement, 15 cases, double valve replacement. 30[31.2%] patients were male and 66[68.8%] were female and the age ranged from 14 to 66 years old. Early hospital death within 30 days postoperation were 5 patients[5.2%], consisting of by low cardiac output in 2, infective endocarditis in 1, multiple organ failure with sepsis in 1 patient. There was no late postoperative death. Most common early postoperative complication was wound disruption [8.7%] and then low cardiac output, pneumothorax, pleural effusion in order. Most common late postoperative complications were minor bleeding episodes[8.7%] related to anticoagulant therapy which were consisted of frequent epistaxis in 3, gum bleeding in 2, hemorrhagic gastritis in 1, hypermenorrhea in 1, hematoma in right arm in 1 patient. Valve-related complications included valve thrombosis [1.6%/ patient-year], valve failure due to pannus formation[1.1% /patient-year], prosthetic valve endocarditis[1, 1%o/patient-year] and minor anticoagulant hemorrhage[4.4% /patient-year]. 5 cases of reoperations were performed in 4 patients due to valve failure and all of them were in the mitral positions[2.7% /patient-year]. Cardiothoracic ratios in the chest X-ray decreased at the 6th month and 1st year postoperation in all patients. But in New York Heart Association[NYHA] functional class IV, no change in cardiothoracic ratio was found between 6 months and 1 year postoperation. In the echocardiogram, the size of the cardiac chambers decreased, but ejection fraction increased postoperatively in each functional class. In the electrocardiogram, decreases were found in the incidence of atrial fibrillation, left atrial enlargement, left ventricular hypertrophy with right bundle branch block increasing postoperatively in each functional class. The actuarial survival rate was 98.4% for all patients, 98.7% for mitral valve replacement, 83.8% for aortic valve replacement, and 80% for double valve replacement at the end of a 4.5 year follow up period. Meanwhile the actuarial freedom rate was 91.5% for prosthetic valve endocarditis, 91.6% for thromboembolism, 89.0% for prosthetic valve failure and 83.7% for minor anticoagulant hemorrhage. Preoperative NYHA class III and IV were 75% of all patients, but 95% of all patients were up graded to NYHA class I and II postoperatively.

이 논문은 CRLH 전송선로의 이중대역 특성을 이용하여 비대칭 전력 분배기를 제안하였다. 이 분배기는 이중대역 브랜치라인 하이브리드 결합기, 결합기의 입력과 고립 포트의 연결 선로 그리고 ${\lambda}/4$ 변환기로 구성되어 있다. 이것의 동작은 이중대역의 브랜치라인 하이브리드 결합기를 이용하여 입력 신호를 결합기의 입력과 고립 포트에 연결할 때 서로 다른 길이의 전송선로를 연결함으로서 하이브리드 결합기의 두 출력 포트에서 동위상을 갖고 비대칭으로 출력되도록 하였다. 이것은 기존의 비대칭 윌킨슨 분배기의 단점을 보완한 것으로 시뮬레이션 결과가 0 dB ~ 20 dB 까지의 출력비를 나타내도록 설계하였다. 이와 같은 기능이 동작하는지 확인하기 위하여 880 MHz 와 1850 MHz에서 동작하는 이중대역 비대칭 전력분배기를 제작하여 각각의 주파수에서 3.2 dB ~ 8.8 dB, 2.5 dB ~ 14.0 dB까지 분배되는 것을 확인하였다.

음원분리 방법으로는 여러 가지가 제안되고 있으나 그 중에서도 주파수영역 두 귀 모델(Frequency Domain Binaural Model : FDBM)은 저 연산량과 울림 제거에 효과적이다. FDBM에 의한 두 귀 보청 시스템은 SNR이나 기여도 함수(Coherence function)에 의한 평가로 하기 때문에 인간의 청취특성을 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 음질의 문제 해결을 위하여 FDBM의 음원분리 성능평가를 하였다. SNR, 기여도 함수, PESQ의 세 가지 수법을 이용하여 기본 특성에 대하여 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다. 모든 결과가 FDBM에 의해 좌우 채널간 평가치의 차가 작게 되었고, 좌우 채널이 거의 같은 레벨까지 개선되었음을 확인하였다. 그리고 음원방향을 바꾸고 음원 수를 증가시킨 경우에도 일정한 개선이 보였다. SNR과 기여도 함수, PESQ의 결과를 비교하면 PESQ의 평가에서는 입력 SNR를 변동시킨 경우에도 거의 모든 조건에서 분리에 의한 평가가 개선되었다.

본 논문에서는 지능적인 경로 계획을 위한 스테레오 카메라 기반의 AGV의 작업자 식별 및 회피를 위한 2D 공간 지도 구성 기법을 제안하였다. 우선 스테레오 카메라로부터 입력된 영상 중 좌 영상에 YCbCr 컬러 모델 및 무게 중심법을 이용하여 이동중인 작업자의 얼굴 영역과 중심좌표를 검출하고, 검출된 좌표 값에 따라 스테레오 카메라 제어를 통해 이동하는 작업자를 실시간적으로 검출하게 된다. 다음으로, AGV 구동에 의해 추적 제어된 스테레오 카메라의 좌, 우 영상간의 시차정보와 카메라 내부 변환관계를 통해 깊이 정보를 검출한 후, 검출된 깊이 지도로부터 각 열에 존재하는 최소값을 이용한 2차원 공간좌표를 검출하여 AGV과 작업자간의 거리와 실제좌표는 물론 다른 물체들과의 상대 거리를 산출하게 되며, 산출된 위치 좌표를 토대로 AGV의 지능적인 경로 추정 및 판단에 따라 자율적인 주행을 수행하게 된다. 실시간적으로 입력되는 240 프레임의 스테레오 영상을 사용한 실험결과, 산출된 2차원 공간좌표는 검출된 작업자의 위치좌표와의 관계를 통해 작업자의 폭과 실제 측정한 값과의 오차율이 평균 1.8% 이하로 유지됨으로써 보다 지능적인 AGV 시스템의 구현 가능성을 제시하였다.

Between March 1986 and November 1992, thirty-one patients with left main coronary artery stenosis[LMCAS, over 50% of cross sectional area] were revascularized at Seoul National University Hospital. The incidence of LMCAS was 20.8%[31/149]. The male:female ratio was 15:16. Age ranged from 39 to 70 years, with a mean age of 51 years. The anginal syndrome was composed of 23 unstable, 6 stable and 2 post-infarction angina preoperatively. There were sixteen isolated LMCAS, four ostial stenosis and eleven combined distal and /or right coronary artery stenosis. The degree of LMCAS was 50-74% in 21 patients[67.7%], 75-89% in one[3.6%] and 90-99% in 9[29.1%]. There was no case with 100% obstruction. Of the total patients with LMCAS, 11 patients received 4 distal anastomoses, another 11 patients had 3 distal anastomoses, and 8 patients needed 2 distal anastomoses. The overall operative mortality was 12.9%[4 /31], and the incidence of which was higher than the remaing group [6.8%, 8/118]. The causes of death were myocardial infarction[2 patients], ventricular arrhythmia[1 patient] and brain damage[1 patient]. All patients have been followed-up for average 28.9 months[1-76 months]. There was no late death. But one patients experinced anginal recurrence. In conclusion, making allowance for its notorious clinical results and relatively higher incidence in Korea, aggressive surgical techniques such as retrograce myocardial perfusion may be mandatory while we are in a learning phase.
