  • XML 데이터베이스에서 타입상속 개념의 질의처리를 지원하기 위한 다차원 타입상속 색인구조(Multidimensional Type Inheritance Index: MD-TIX)에 대하여, 본 논문에서는 질의 패턴에 따라 색인성능을 향상시키기 위한 색인구조의 조율 알고리즘을 제안한다. MD-TIX는 중첩 엘리먼트와 타입상속 계층이 포함된 복합 형태의 XML 질의처리를 지원하기 위하여 다차원 색인구조를 이용한다. MD-TIX의 조율 알고리즘에서는 먼저 사용자 질의 형태에 대한 질의 정보로서 색인구조를 구성할 색인 페이지 영역들의 모양을 결정하고, 이러한 모양의 페이지 영역들을 갖도록 하는 구간반분 전략을 적용함으로써 최적의 MD-TIX 색인구조를 구성한다. 성능평가의 결과에 의하면, 주어진 질의 패턴에 따라 제안한 조율 알고리즘을 적용함으로서 최적의 MD-TIX를 구성할 수 있었으며, 경로 길이가 2인 경우에 주어지는 중첩 술어에 대한 삼차원 질의 영역의 경우, 모양이 편향된 정도에 따라 질의처리의 성능이 매우 크게 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • The study of lignin, a major component of secondary cell wall, has been partly focused on its removal from the woody part in the kraft pulping industry. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD; EC 1.1.l95) catalyzes the synthesis of cinnamyl alcohols from corresponding cinnamaldehydes. A cDNA clone, MdCADl, encoding putative CAD from apples (Malus domestica Borkh. cv Fuji) was characterized in this study. The clone contains an open reading frame of 325 amino acid residues, which shows a greater than 80% identity with Eucalyptus CADl. MdCADl mRNA was detectable in vegetative tissues and was strongly expressed in the fruit. The expression pattern of MdCADl mRNA in the fruit peel after light exposure was also examined. The mRNA was rapidly increased until 1 day after light exposure and remained stable thereafter, suggesting that MdCADl is light inducible. The inducibility of the MdCADl gene was examined using several environmental stresses. Mechanical wounding of leaves increased the MdCADl mRNA level and the induction was further increased by salicylic acid. Southern blot hybridization showed that there is either one or a few copies of CAD genes in apples. To our knowledge, it is believed that MdCADl is the first CAD clone expressed predominantly in fruit.

  • Purpose: Ménétrier disease (MD) was first described in 1888, and 50 cases have been reported until now. We aimed to discuss the etiology, diagnostics, and management of MD in children. Methods: We searched for case reports published from 2014 till 2019 in English using PubMed. Articles were selected using subject headings and key words of interest to the topic. Interesting references of the included articles were also included. Results: The pathophysiology of MD is still uncertain. However, overexpression of transforming growth factor alpha with transformation of the gastric mucosa has been observed, which may be mediated by genetics and provoked by an infectious trigger. Clinically, MD is diagnosed by abdominal pain, vomiting, anorexia, and edema secondary to hypoalbuminemia. A gastroscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of MD. In children, the disease is self-limiting and only requires supportive treatment. In general, children have a good prognosis and recover spontaneously within a few weeks. Conclusion: Few pediatric cases of MD have been described in recent years, and with all different etiology. Endoscopy with biopsy remains the golden standard for the diagnosis of MD, and in children, the disease is self-limiting.

  • 디지털 혁신의 확산에 따라 의료 분야에서도 인공지능을 기반으로 한 혁신의료기술의 채택이 활발해지고 있다. 이에 따라 인공지능 기반 소프트웨어형 의료기기인 SaMD(Software as a Medical Device)의 출시 및 도입도 촉진되고 있지만, 의료기관의 SaMD 도입 요인에 대한 연구는 미흡한 편이다. 본 연구의 목적은 '인공지능 기반 SaMD' 도입에 대한 의료기관의 의사결정에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요인들을 찾고, 이들 요인의 가중치와 우선순위를 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 의료계의 기술수용 모델, 의료 인공지능 및 SaMD 등에 관한 문헌연구 결과를 바탕으로 델파이 조사를 실시하였으며, HOTE(Human, Organization, Technology and Environment) 프레임워크와 HABIO(Holistic Approach {Business, Information, Organizational}) 프레임워크를 결합하여 연구 모형을 개발하였다. 5가지 주기준과 22개의 하부기준으로 구성된 연구 모형을 바탕으로 국내 의료기관과 SaMD 공급자의 전문가들을 대상으로 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) 분석을 실시하여 SaMD 도입 요인을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 인공지능 기반의 SaMD 도입을 결정하는 주기준의 우선순위는 기술적 요인, 경제적 요인, 인적 요인, 조직적 요인, 환경적 요인의 순으로 나타났고, 하부기준의 우선순위는 신뢰성, 진료원가 절감, 의료진의 수용도, 안전성, 최고 경영자의 지원, 보안성, 인허가 및 규제 수준의 순이었다. 특히, 신뢰성, 안전성, 보안성 등의 기술적 요인이 SaMD 도입에 있어서 가장 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 각 집단별 가중치와 우선순위를 비교·분석한 결과, SaMD 도입 요인의 가중치와 우선순위는 기관의 유형, 의료기관의 유형 및 의료기관 보직의 유형에 따라 매우 다른 것으로 나타났다.

  • Objective: This study examined cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-derived multiplanar-reconstructed (MPR) cross-sections to clarify the salient characteristics of patients with skeletal class III malocclusion with midface deficiency (MD). Methods: The horizontal and sagittal plane intersection points were identified for middle-third facial analysis in 40 patients in the MD or normal (N) groups. MPR images acquired parallel to each horizontal plane were used for length and angular measurements. Results: A comparison of the MD and N groups revealed significant differences in the zygoma prominence among female patients. The convex zygomatic area in the N group was larger than that in the MD group, and the inferior part of the midface in the N group was smaller than that in the MD group for both male and female patients. A significant difference was observed in the concave middle maxillary area among male patients. Conclusions: This study was conducted to demonstrate the difference between MD and normal face through MPR images derived from CBCT. Male patients in the MD group had a more flattened face than did those in the N group. Female patients in the MD group showed a concave-shaped lower section of the zygoma, which tended to have more severe MD. These findings indicate that orthognathic surgery to improve skeletal discrepancy requires different approaches in male and female patients.

  • This study investigated the impact of inulin (INL) on viability of L. plantarum D-2 (LPD2) by encapsulation through spray drying (SD) and its commercialization potential to alternative of conventional wall material maltodextrin (MD). LPD2, derived from sea tangle (Saccharina japonica) kimchi, is probiotics exhibiting significant attributes like cholesterol reduction, antioxidant properties, and resilience to acidic and bile environments. To enhance storage viability and stability of LPD2, encapsulation was applied by SD technology. The optimum encapsulation condition with MD was 10% MD concentration (MD10) and inlet temperature (96℃). The optimum concentration ratio of MD and INL was 7:3 (INL3) for alternative of MD with similar encapsulation yield and viability of LPD2. Viability of LPD2 with INL3 exhibited almost 8% higher than that with MD10 after 50 days storage at 25℃. Physicochemical characteristics of the encapsulated LPD2 (ELPD2) with MD10 and INL3 had no significant different between flowability and morphology. But, ELPD2 with INL3 had lower water solubility and higher water absorption resulting in extension of viability of LPD2 compared to that with MD10. The comprehensive study results showed that there was no significant difference in the encapsulation yield and physicochemical properties between ELPD2 with MD10 and INL3, except of water solubility index (WSI) and water absorption index (WAI). INL have the potential to substitute of MD as a commercial wall material with prebiotic functionality to enhance the viability of LPD2 by encapsulation.

  • 2.22-inch qVGA $(240{\times}320)$ amorphous silicon thin film transistor liquid active matrix crystal display (a-Si TFT-AMLCD) panel has been successfully demonstrated employing a 2.5 um fine-patterning technology by a wet etch process. Higher resolution 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel with an aperture ratio of 58% can be fabricated as the 2.5 um fine pattern formation technique is integrated with high thermal photo-resist (PR) development. In addition, a novel concept of unique a-Si TFT process architecture, which is advantageous in terms of reliability, was proposed in the fabrication of 2.22-inch qVGA LCD panel. Overall results show that the 2.5 um fine-patterning is a considerably significant technology to obtain higher aperture ratio for higher resolution a-Si TFT-LCD panel realization.
