Background: Inflammatory hematological parameters like the neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio have been investigated in many cancer types and significant relationships found with prognosis, for example. The aim of this present study was to investigate the impact of hematological parameters notably on N/L ratio and mean platelet volume (MPV) in papillary thyroid cancer cases. Materials and Methods: A total of 79 patients who underwent a thyroidectomy operation in Findikli, Goiter Research and Treatment Center during 2011-2015 period were enrolled in the study, 41 with papillary thyroid cancer and 38 with benign goiter confirmed by pathological examination. We collected clinical and laboratory data for the patients from hospital records retrospectively. Blood samples taken at admission were assessed for parameters compared between the groups. Results: No significant differences between papillary thyroid cancer and benign goiter groups were apparent in terms of age, the N/L ratio, MPV, white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelet, neutrophil, lymphocyte, red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and platelet crit (PCT) levels (p>0.05). Only the level of platelet distribution width (PDW) significantly differed, being lower in the papillary cancer group (p<0.05). Conclusions: No significant relationship between papillary thyroid cancer and inflammatory hematological parameters including in particular the N/L ratio and MPV. The relevance of the PDW values remains unclear.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical characteristics and the functional results of the osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) treated with arthroscopic osteochondroplasty. Materials and Methods: The study was based on 25 cases (25 feet) of osteochondral lesion of talus that were treated with arthroscopic osteochondroplasty from May 1997 to June 2005 with at least 1 year follow-up. Follow-up period was average 21.8 months. The average age was 37.2 years old. Male patients were 22 while female were 3. Postoperative evaluation was performed with American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Functional score, patient satisfaction and complications. Results: Ninety-two percent of patients had trauma history. Seventy-two percent of the lesions were located at the medial dome. As for the cartilage classification, 56% were fibrillation/fissure lesions while 44% were flap tears. Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score improved from 6.8 points to 2.2 points, and AOFAS score improved from 71.3 points to 87.3 points. Eighty-eight percent of the patients were satisfied with the surgery and average period of returning to previous job was 6.5 weeks. Conclusion: We concluded that the arthroscopic osteochondroplasty is a viable surgical option for the osteochondral lesion of the talus.

본 논문에서는 트리 구조의 가입자망인 APON(ATM over Passive Optical Network)에서 멀티미디어 정보를 보다 효율적으로 제공하기 위한 매체 접근 제어 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 제안된 프로토콜은 사용자 측에서 발생한 원래의 트래픽 패턴을 손상시키지 않으면서 상향 데이터 흐름을 효과적으로 다중화할 수 있도록 하고, ATM 트래픽 클래스별 전송 품질(QoS)의 특성을 반영하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 요구-허락형 전송 구조에서 다양한 요구 방식에 따른 성능을 분석하여, 각 트래픽 클래스에 적합한 요구 방식을 설정하고, 오버헤드를 최소화할 수 있는 전송 프레임 구조를 제안하였다. 또한 OLT의 셀 허락 분배 과정에서 ATM 클래스별로 각기 다른 우선 순위를 주어 셀 전송에 대한 허락을 스케줄링 한다. 제안한 허락 분배 알고리즘은 전송 지연과 CDV에 엄격한 성능을 요구하는 CBR/VBR 트래픽에 우선적으로 허락을 분배하고, ABR 트래픽은 최소 셀 전송률(MCR)을 보장하면서 이용 가능한 대역폭을 동적으로 사용하도록 하였으며, UBR 트래픽은 가장 낮은 우선 순위를 가지고 남은 대역을 사용하게 된다. 따라서 트래픽 속성을 변화시키지 않고 ATM 셀을 전달\ulcorner 가능하여 멀티미디어 전송에 있어 전송 품질(QoS)을 만족시킬 수 있다. 제안한 프로토콜에 대한 성능 평가를 위하여 평균 전송 지연 시간 및 CDV(Cell Delay Variation)등의 관점에서 시뮬레이션을 실시하고 성능 평가 결과를 기술하였다.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of balance ability by performing closed chain exercise on stable support surface and unstable support surface in twenties. Methods This study randomly selected 15 students in the closed chain exercise group on the stable support side and 15 on the closed chain exercise group on the unstable support side. Balance ability was measured before and after the start of exercise and static balance was measured by OLT(One Leg Standing Test) and FRT (Functional Reach Test). Result The changes of the function reach test of the closed chain movement according to the ground type were significant in the unstable and stable support surfaces and the change of function reach test after the intervention in the two groups was significantly improved compared with the closed chain movement respectively. The one leg standing test changes of the closed chain movement according to the ground type showed significant results on the unstable and stable support surfaces, but there was no significant difference in the one leg standing test changes after intervention between the two groups. Conclusion The effect of closed chain training on ground type is unstable. The change of function reach test and one leg standing test of the closed chain exercise group on the stable support surface resulted in significant changes after exercise, but there was a significant difference in the balance ability of function reach test change after intervention between the groups.

대화형 멀티 미디어 서비스와 요구 오차율에 따라 상향속도와 광송신전력을 설정하는 광가입자망에서 시스템의 단순화 및 상향속도 개선을 위해 임계치의 설정을 분석한다. 상향과 하향 데이터 속도비가 1:1/2, 1:1/4, 1:1/8, 1:1/16인 맨체스터 부호로 코딩된 하향신호의 재변조를 이용한 비대칭 광 가입자망에서 4가지 하향 데이터의 형태에 따라서 재변조한 상향신호의 평균오차율을 이론적으로 분석하여, 매트랩을 이용한 시뮬레이션으로 수치 결과를 분석한다. 상하향 데이터 속도비가 1:1/16, 1/8 및 1/4 의 경우 광수신전력에 관계없이 최적 임계치를 사용한 광수신기 보다 성능을 크게 악화시키지 않고 임계치가 1/2인 종래의 광수신기를 적용할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 상하향 데이터 속도비가 1:1/2의 경우 광 수신기의 임계치를 1/3로 고정시키고 평균 광수신전력이 증가하면 최적 임계치를 사용한 광수신기 보다 성능을 크게 악화시키지 않음을 알 수 있다.
