  • Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura are rare, slow-growing benign neoplasm, originating from submesothelial Hbroblasts. Approximately 80% of solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura originate in . the visceral pleura and 20% in the parietal pleura. Many of these tumors are pedunculated, attached to the visceral pleura via a well-vasculariEed stalk, and in size from 1 to 36cm with a mean of 6cm. This case report is of a 48 year old woman who presented with dyspnea and right flank pain. Preoperative chest x-ray showed increased hazy density at right lower lung field, and CT scan showed huge heterogeneous mass which was located in right mid and lower thorax. She underwent surgical resec- tion and a lOX15X loom(2200gm weigh) sized large mass was excised. Final histologic diagnosis was solitary fibrous tumor of the plara. The patient was discharged without any complications postoperately.

  • The effect of stress match between silicon nitride ($SiN_2$) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) layers on the electrical characteristics of thin-film transistors (TFTs) has been investigated. The result shows that modifying the deposition conditions of a Si:H and $SiN_2$ thin films can reduce the stress mismatch at a-Si:H/SiNx interface. Moreover, for best a-Si:H TFT characteristics, the internal stress of gate $SiN_2$ layer with slightly nitrogen-rich should be matched with that of a-Si:H channel layer. The ON current, field-effect mobility, and stability of TFTs can be enhanced by controlling the stress match between a-Si:H and gate insulator. The improvement of these characteristics appears to be due to both the decrease of the interface state density between the a-Si:H and SiNx layer, and the good dielectric quality of the bottom nitride layer.

  • Recently, residents have been spending almost 90% of their time indoors, which presents a higher risk from inhalation of pollutants than when spending time outdoors. Therefore, controlling indoor air quality became important. It is reported that the lung diseases and mortality for occupants are increased when there is high density of ozone which is one of the pollutants among the indoor air. In addition, the reactions between ozone and building materials produce VOCs and formaldehyde. The studies to eliminate the ozone by building materials have been actively investigated. However, ozone removal and secondary pollutants from ozone reactions with building materials have not been reported in Korea. For this reason, the aim of this study is to introduce ozone removal by HVAC filters, various building materials, and eco-friendly building materials including the quantity of secondary pollutant emissions.

  • The Committee on Dyslipidemia of Korean Pediatric and Adolescents of the Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology has newly developed evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for dyslipidemia in Korean children and adolescents. These guidelines were formulated with the Grading of Recommendations, which include both the strength of recommendations and the quality of evidence. In the absence of sufficient evidence, conclusions were based on expert opinion. These guidelines are based on the 2011 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Guidelines, which focus on the prevention of cardiovascular disease in children and draw from a comprehensive review of evidence. These guidelines contain the definition of and screening process for dyslipidemia and introduce new dietary methods: the Cardiovascular Health Integrated Lifestyle Diet (CHILD)-1, the CHILD-2-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the CHILD-2-triglyceride. Potential drug therapies for dyslipidemia along with their main effects and doses were also included.
