Purpose: The pathophysiology of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is that the sternoclavicularmastoid (SCM) is shortened on the involved side by fibrosis, leading to an ipsilateral tilt and contralateral rotation of the face and chin. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of physical therapy and develop a mass diameter prediction model for infants with CMT. Methods: Fifty six patients were diagnosed with CMT between April 2003 and December 2008. Infants with neurological complications, and spasmodic and ocular torticollis were excluded. Physical therapy was applied to those masses in the SCM muscles of those infants after checking their physical findings and the diameter of the mass with ultrasonography. Their physical findings and mass diameter was reevaluated when their neck tilt was under $5^{\circ}$. Results: The mean age when physical therapy was started was 35 days. After a mean 90 days of treatment, the subjects showed improvement in the neck tilt. Subjects whose neck tilted above $15^{\circ}$ showed significant improvement in neck tilt decreased their mass diameter (p<0.01). Facial symmetric infants showed a shorter recovery duration than the facial asymmetric infants (p<0.05). A mass decreasing model based on the diameter of the mass, facial symmetry or not and the physical therapy start day after birth was developed by linear regression. Conclusion: Physical therapy is an effective treatment for CMT. The change in the diameter of the mass on the SCM muscles after treatment can be predicted.

인터넷이 발전함에 따라 기업의 업무, 커뮤니케이션 등이 온라인으로 전환되고 있으며, 정보 전달의 통로로써 전자 메일의 사용이 나날이 늘어남과 동시에 전자 메일을 통한 스팸메일의 폭발적인 증가로 인한 심각성 또한 대두되고 있다. 현재 스팸메일을 막기 위한 여러 가지 방법이 제안되었으나, 대부분 메일 서버내의 정책에 따른 메일 필터링 방식으로써 완벽한 스팸메일 탐지를 제공하지 못하며, 스팸메일로 인한 메일서버 및 네트워크 자원 손실 문제는 여전히 해결되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스팸메일 탐지율을 높이고 네트워크 내 자원 손실을 예방할 수 있는 SMTP 보안 게이트웨이를 제안하고자 한다. 본 SMTP 보안 게이트웨이는 스팸메일 차단 규칙에 의한 메일 필터링을 기본적으로 제공하고, 룰에 정의되지 않은 메일에 대해서는 사용자 선택에 기반한 메일 전송을 제공한다. 이는 규칙에 정의되지 않은 스팸메일에 대한 탐지 가능성을 높이며, 궁극적으로 메일서버의 자원 및 네트워크 자원의 가용성을 높일 수 있다.

In this dissertation, I will focus on the channel entry[歸經] and the effect and the treatment [效能主治] in oriental medicine texts from ancient to modern times in order to classify the medicines of the kidney. Medicines that effected the Kidney through working on any other viscera were as follows: Fossilia Ossis Mastodi(龍骨), Schizandrae Fructus(五味子), Nelumbinis Semen(蓮肉), Ostreae Testa(牡蠣), Polygalae Follium(小草), Angelicae Gigantis Radix(當歸), Albizzae Cortex(合歡), Thujae Semen(栢子仁) and Bambusae Calulis in Liquamen(竹瀝). This study was dedicated to researching the medicines related to the kidney and making efficient use of these medicines.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the canonical correlation between organizational culture and nurses' informatics competency. Method: Participants in this study were 354 nurses from three hospitals and one university. The scales of organizational culture, informatics competency for nurses were used. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, canonical correlation were used for data analysis. Results: The dominant organizational culture was hierarch-oriented culture. Nursing informatics competency of the participants was relatively low with a mean score 3.04. Organizational culture was related to informatics competency with 2 significant canonical variables. The first variate showed the higher four subcategories of organizational culture showed the better nursing informatics. The second variate indicated that nurses felt higher innovation-related and lower hierarch-related culture showed higher medical informatics-related software usage and computer related information management, lower perception of informatics and information search using internet. Conclusion: Organization culture has a major of impact on the success of information system use. Therefore, the continuous strategy for higher innovation-related organizational culture such as management support should be needed.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to develop a simulator which can analyze the anti-inflammatory effects of medical herbs based on e-cell concerning p38 MAPK signal pathway. Methods : We collected data concerning medical herbs with anti-inflammatory effects and the active compounds to provide as a fundamental databse and to validate the newly developed algorithm. At this time, we used the target database as pubmed and gathered the data by data mining tool, pathway studio. Also we have developed the web-based search system for confirming database related to anti-inflammation. We researched the mechanism of actions of proteins in p38 MAPK signal pathway when active compound has been inserted into the network. We reduced total network into TAK-MKK3-p38 and made the two types of mathematical model about active compounds' interaction. Results & Conclusion : We constructed the database which have 69 cases of medical herbs, 71 cases of active compounds, about 8,000 cases of URL(Uniform Resource Locator) related to papers and reports. We designed the ordinary differential equations for response of TAK, MKK3, p38 in e-cell's cytosol and nucleus. We used this formular as measure whether an active compound of medicinal plants which is inputted by an user would have an anti-inflammation effects. We developed the visualization program which could show the change of concentration over time.

Objective : This study was conducted to examine the scope and learning objective of Medical classics in the field of the education of Korean Medicine. Method : This study was analyzed and figured out list of classes which was taken by department of medical classics in eleven College of Korean Medicine and one school of Korean Medicine. Results & Conclusions : 1. Now, 14 subjects out of 16 subjects which were taken by whole department of medical classics in Korea can be a proper area of education of medical classics. Now, Hwangjenaekyung and Nangyeong are the only aim of the lessons at the medical classics. Therefore, we present to modify the aims inclusively. 2. The subject of the class have to change as follows. 'Wonjeon' changes into 'Hwangjenaekyung', 'Medical Chinese character' changes into 'Korean medical chinese character', 'medical informatics' changes into 'korean medical informatics'. 3. As we consider the condition that 'Nangyeong' is educating in just four departments of medical classics, we have to discuss about the stature of Nangyeong and to extend education of Nangyeong. 4. In the department of medical classics, we can improve the level of understanding and reading skills by educating the class of 'Sanghanron' and 'Donguibogam'. 5. This study is actively involved in trying to include 'Korean Medical Informatics' and 'Korean medical terminology ' in the education field of the medical classics.

Screening tests against fungus causing rice blast, Magnaporthe grisea, were performed in order to develop biopesticides. More than 400 actinomycetes collected at several sites near Hanla Mountain on Jeju Island, Korea were tested, and strain BG2-53 showed potent antifungal activity. The in vivo screening was performed with fermentation broth, and the strain taxon was identified.

In this paper, we designed bio-signal acquisition system in Magnetic Resonance Imager(MRI) Environment. In MRI Environment, Strong RF Pulse and Gradient Field Switching Noise exist and can cause distortion of ECG. By this, ECG can lose their important information. So we proposed a bio-signal acquisition system with robust immunity to RF pulse and gradient switching noise. In conclusions, the proposed system showed the prevent saturation of measured biosignal and possibility of using cardiac gating and respiration gating method.

In this paper, we have developed a ventricular fibrillation detection system based on DSP processor. The developed system was able to detect VF in real time correctly and quickly. We compared the performance of the floating point simulation with that of fixed point simulation. The computational cost of fixed point simulation was remarkably reduced than that of floating point simulation.
