블루투스 무선 기술은 음성 및 데이터 전송을 위한 단거리 일대다중 무선 주파수 통신을 위해 제안된 범용적으로 사용 가능한 무선통신 기술이다. 블루투스는 2.4㎓ ISM 밴드에서 동작하며 약 l0m 범위의 다양한 이동 장치와 휴대용 장치를 위한 저가격의 기저대역 무선 접속을 제공한다 본 논문은 DMA 방식의 블루투스 기저대역 모듈을 개발하고 그 구조와 테스트 결과를 보인다. 개발된 모듈은 링크 컨트롤러, UART 그리고 오디오 코덱의 세가지 블록으로 구성되며 메인 프로세서 사이의 정보 전달 및 DMA지원을 위한 버스 인터페이스와 RF모듈과의 데이터 송수신을 위한 RF 인터페이스를 지원한다. DMA의 사용은 FIFO를 이용한 데이터의 송수신 방법을 사용하는 기저대역 모듈에 비하여 모듈의 구현 크기 및 데이터의 처리 속도에 있어서도 많은 차이점을 갖는다. 각 블록을 DMA를 지원하도록 설계함으로써 작은 크기의 모듈을 설계할 수 있다. 이러한 작은 크기의 모듈은 생산비용의 절감과 함께 다양한 응용분야에 사용될 수 있는 범용성을 제공한다. 또한 본 모듈은 UART를 이용한 펌웨어 업그레이드 방식을 지원하고 소프트 IP로 설계되었으며 FPGA와 ASIC으로 구현하여 개인용 컴퓨터 사이의 파일 전송과 비트-스트림 전송을 통해 테스트 되었다.

Debridement is a crucial component of wound management. Recent technologies such as hydrosurgery (Versajet), ultrasound therapy (the MIST therapy device), or plasma-mediated bipolar radio-frequency ablation therapy (Coblation) seem to represent interesting alternatives for wound debridement. The purpose of this systematic review was to describe, evaluate, and compare these three recently developed methods for the management of chronic wounds. In January 2016, an electronic database search was conducted of MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and Embase for articles concerning these three innovative methods for the management of chronic wounds. A total of 389 references were identified by our search strategy, and 15 articles were included. We extracted data regarding the number and age of patients, indications, operating time, number of procedures, costs, wound healing time, decrease in exudation, perioperative blood loss, bacterial load, and the occurrence of complications. The 15 articles included studies that involved 563 patients who underwent hydrosurgery (7 studies), ultrasound therapy (6 studies), or Coblation (2 studies). Six randomized controlled trials were included that compared the use of a scalpel or curette to hydrosurgery (2 studies) or ultrasound therapy (6 studies). Hydrosurgery, in addition to being a very precise and selective tool, allows significantly faster debridement. Ultrasound therapy provides a significant reduction of exudation, and improves the wound healing time. No comparative study dedicated to Coblation was identified. Despite the obvious clinical interest of the topic, our review of the current literature revealed a lack of prospective randomized studies comparing these devices with each other or with standard techniques, particularly for Coblation and hydrosurgery.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to find out the possibility of application to herbal medicine's report form for adverse drug reaction (ADR) by reviewing and analyzing Asian countries's ADR report forms. Method : We investigated, compared, and analyzed ADR report forms (ADR-RF) of Asian countries's ADR institutions (ACAI), such as, Korea institute of drug safety & risk management and Dongguk university Ilsan oriental hospital (DUIOH) in Korea, national center for ADR monintoring (NCAM) in China, pharmaceuticals and medical devices agency (PMDA) in Japan, Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) in Taiwan, and drug office, department of health, the government of the Hong Kong special administrative region (GHKSAR) in Hong Kong. Results : ADR-RF for ACAI included common contents, such as, patients information (name(initial), gender, age, weight), adverse event (AE)'s report information (Recognition and report for AE occurrence, first or follow up report, Severe AE), the detailed information of AE (the title of AE, onset & closing date of AE symptoms, the progress & results detailed test of AE), the information of AE's medicine (the types of medicine, product name, ingredient name, suspected or combination drug, single dose & frequency, dosage form, administration route, dealing for AE-suspected medicine), and AE reporter's information (reporter's information, institution's information). Taiwan had ADR-RF and the department exclusively for herbal medicine (HM), but others (except DUIOH) had not only no ADR report form but also contents for HM. Conclusion : ADR-RF for HM have to include the common contents of ACAI at least, as well as HM information related to ADR, such as the title, composition and types of HM, history related to HM's ADR, and the contents of drug-induced liver injury and so on. In addition, the main department of government for HM's ADR will be needed.

목적: 인조골에 동일한 조건으로 식립한 임플란트에 대하여 타진방식의 임플란트 안정성 측정기기인 Periotest와 AnyCheck을 사용하여 안정성 수치를 측정함에 있어서, healing abutment의 높이와 타진각도의 변화에 따른 각 측정기기의 안정성 수치 차이를 조사하는 것이다. 재료 및 방법: 총 60개의 임플란트를 주문제작한 인조골 블록에 식립하고 2, 3, 4, 5 mm 높이의 healing abutment를 각각 15개씩 네 그룹으로 나누어 체결하였으며, 각각 식립 토크, implant stability test, Periotest value를 측정했다. 임플란트 식립 시 45 - 55 Ncm의 토크를 유지하였다. 임플란트 장축에 수직인 지면을 기준으로, implant stability test는 AnyCheck을 사용하여 $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$의 기울기로 측정했으며 Periotest value는 Periotest M을 사용하여 $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$의 기울기로 측정하였다. 측정값은 통계적으로 비교 분석하였다. 결과: 식립 토크는 그룹 간 통계적 유의차가 없었다. AnyCheck과 Periotest M으로 측정했을 때, healing abutment의 높이가 증가할수록 안정성 수치가 낮게 측정되었다. 또한 AnyCheck과 Periotest M을 $0^{\circ}$와 $30^{\circ}$ 기울기로 측정 시 $0^{\circ}$로 측정한 그룹에서 안정성 수치가 더 낮게 측정되었다. 결론: 임플란트의 안정성 수치를 타진방식으로 측정할 때에는 healing abutment 높이와 타진각도의 변화에 따른 차이를 고려하여 측정해야 표준화된 평가를 할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 더욱 세밀한 사용법을 인지할 필요가 있다고 사료되었다.

While the ability to develop nanomaterials and incorporate them into products is advancing rapidly worldwide, understanding of the potential health safety effects of nanomaterials has proceeded at a much slower pace. Since 2008, Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA) started an investigation to prepare "Strategic Action Plan" to evaluate safety and nano risk management associated with foods, drugs, medical devices and cosmetics using nano-scale materials. Although there are some studies related to potential risk of nanomaterials, physical-chemical characterization of nanomaterials is not clear yet and these do not offer enough information due to their limitations. Their uncertainties make it impossible to determine whether nanomaterials are actually hazardous to human. According to the above mention, we have some problems to conduct the human exposure risk assessment currently. On the other hand, uncertainty about safety may lead to polarized public debate and to businesses unwillingness for further nanotechnology investigation. Therefore, the criteria and methods to assess possible adverse effects of nanomaterials have been vigorously taken into consideration by many international organizations: the World Health Organization, the Organization for Economic and Commercial Development and the European Commission. The object of this study was to develop risk assessment principles for safety management of future nanoproducts and also to identify areas of research to strengthen risk assessment for nanomaterials. The research roadmaps which were proposed in this study will be helpful to fill up the current gaps in knowledge relevant nano risk assessment.

Background Tissue expansion is an effective and valuable technique for the reconstruction of large skin lesions and scars. This study aimed to evaluate the applicability and safety of a newly designed skin expanding bioreactor system for maximizing the graft area and minimizing the donor site area. Methods A computer-controlled biaxial skin bioreactor system was used to expand skin in two directions while the culture media was changed daily. The aim was to achieve an expansion speed that enabled the skin to reach twice its original area in two weeks or less. Skin expansion and subsequent grafting were performed for 10 patients, and each patient was followed for 6 months postoperatively for clinical evaluation. Scar evaluation was performed through visual assessment and by using photos. Results The average skin expansion rate was $10.54%{\pm}6.25%$; take rate, $88.89%{\pm}11.39%$; and contraction rate, $4.2%{\pm}2.28%$ after 6 months. Evaluation of the donor and recipient sites by medical specialists resulted in an average score of 3.5 (out of a potential maximum of 5) at 3 months, and 3.9 at 6 months. The average score for patient satisfaction of the donor site was 6.2 (out of a potential maximum of 10), and an average score of 5.2 was noted for the recipient site. Histological examination performed before and after the skin expansion revealed an increase in porosity of the dermal layer. Conclusions This study confirmed the safety and applicability of the in vitro skin bioreactor, and further studies are needed to develop methods for increasing the skin expansion rate.

부산광역시내 일개 대학병원의 영상의학과를 대상으로 환자와 접촉이 빈번한 검사장비의 세균오염도를 파악하고자 연구를 실시하였다. 입원환자 검사실의 소독 실시 전에는 MRSA, VRE, Acinetobacter baumannii, Candida albicans, Enterococcus sp.가 검출되었다. 소독 후에는 균이 완전히 사멸되었다. 검사 시간이 늘어남에 따라 검출되는 균이 많아졌으며 7시간 후에는 Bacillus sp.(GPR), CNS, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterococcus sp.가 검출되었다. 감염환자 검사 후에는 Bacillus sp.(GPR), VRE, Enterococcus sp. CNS, Micrococcus sp.가 검출되었고 방사선사 손에서는 CNS, Enterococcus sp.와 Escherichia coli, Enterobacter sp.가 검출되었다. 각 검사실별로는 앞서 검출되었던 균종들과 비슷하였으나 이동검사장비의 손잡이와 대기실 의자에서 Pseudomonas aeruginosa가 검출되었다. 따라서 감염의 전파를 방지하기 위해서는 환자와 접촉이 빈번한 검사장비의 정기적인 소독과 감염환자 검사 후에는 즉시 소독을 실시하는 것이 가장 중요하며 철저한 손 씻기 수행과 영상의학과 특성에 맞는 감염교육과 관리를 통해 감염 예방을 체계적으로 할 수 있도록 해야 한다고 생각한다.

Candida 바이오필름은 숙주조직이나 인체에 삽입된 의료기구의 표면에 자라는 진균의 군락으로 전통적인 항진균제에 대한 내성을 유발한다. 황련(Coptidis chinensis)의 뿌리는 극동지방에서 의료용 목적으로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 임상에서 분리한 C. albicans 바이오필름 형성 균주가 형성한 바이오필름에 대한 C. chinensis 수용성 추출물의 효과와 C. albicans 바이오필름 형성을 저해하는 데 기여하는 항진균활성을 평가하는 데 있다. 바이오필름에 대한 효과는 XTT [2,3-Bis-(2-Methoxy-4-Nitro-5-Sulfophenyl)-2H-Tetrazolium-5-Carboxanilide)] 환원분석법을 사용하였으며, 조사된 모든 균주에 대한 대사활성은 $98{\mu}g/ml$의 C. chinensis 수용성 추출물에 의해 현저하게 감소($57.3{\pm}14.7%$)되어 유의성 있는 항바이오필름 활성을 나타내었다. Fluorescein diacetate와 propidium iodide로 이중 염색한 결과 C. chinensis 추출물은 C. albicans의 세포막을 손상시켰다. C. chinensis 수용성 추출물은 살진균 활성을 나타냈고, C. albicans 바이오필름의 폴리스티렌 표면으로의 부착을 억제하였으며 C. albicans를 $G_o/G_1$기에 머무르게 하여 바이오필름이나 출아법에 의한 증식을 억제시켰다. 본 연구의 결과는 C. chinensis 추출물이 목표가 되는 C. albicans에 복합적으로 유해한 효과를 내어 궁극적으로는 C. albicans 바이오필름 형성을 억제함을 나타낸다. 따라서 C. chinensis 추출물은 바이오필름과 관련된 캔디다의 감염을 치료하고 제거하기 위한 천연물 기반항진균제 개발에 대한 높은 가능성을 가진다.
