Purpose: Myocardial dysfunction and dysrhythmias are inevitable consequences of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We aimed to evaluate specific trends of electrocardiographic changes that reflect the progress of cardiomyopathy in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Methods: Fifty electrocardiograms (ECGs) of 30 patients (ages 1 to 27 years) who had not been prescribed medications for heart failure treatment at the time of examination were retrospectively analyzed and compared with 116 ECGs of age-matched healthy 116 controls. Heart rate, leads with fragmented QRS (fQRS), corrected QT, Tpeak-to-Tend, and Tpeak-to-Tend/QT were analyzed. Results: The patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy failed to show a normal age-related decline in heart rate but showed an increasing trend in the prevalence of fQRS, corrected QT, corrected Tpeakto-Tend, and Tpeak-to-Tend/QT over time. In the ${\leq}10-year-old$ patient group, a significant difference was found only in the prevalence of fQRS between the patients and the controls. The prevalence of fQRS, heart rate, Tpeak-to-Tend/QT, and corrected Tpeak-to-Tend demonstrated significant differences between the patients and the controls in the middle age group (11 to 15 years old). All the indexes were statistically significantly different in the ${\geq}16-year-old$ patient group. Conclusion: The prevalence of lead with fQRS representing regional wall motion abnormalities was higher in the young patients than in the young healthy controls, and this might be one of the first signs of myocardial change in the patients. Markers of depolarization and repolarization abnormalities were gradually prominent in the patients aged >10 years. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Prolongation in QT corrected interval (QTc), measured in surface ECG, has been shown in the majority af patients to be marker of bad prognosis in postmyocardial infarction patients (PMIP). Hence it would seem logical that dynamic QTc interval measurement can be a very usefull indicator to stratify prognosis in PMIP. We present a new algorithm for QT as well as for QTP (distance value from Q wave onset to T wave peak) intervals measurement in 24 hour ECG Holter tapes. Validation of the algorithm by hand measurement has been done on first beats of 18 Holter tapes, resulting in a magnitude of deviations between 10 and 15 ms. Application on 24 hour Holter ECG signal has also been done.

본 논문에서는 RFID 시스템에서 식별영역 내에 있는 태그들을 식별하기 위하여 무기억 특성을 갖는 QT 프로토콜을 개선한 QT_rev 프로토콜을 제안한다. QT_rev 프로토콜에서는 질의 문자열이 식별코드의 처음 비트들과 일치하는 태그는 식별코드 중에서 질의 문자열을 제외한 나머지 비트들로만 응답한다. 또한 리더는 태그들의 응답 문자열 중에서 충돌이 발생한 비트 위치를 알 수 있으므로 충돌이 발생한 위치가 태그 식별코드의 마지막 비트이면 리더는 더 이상의 질의가 없이 두 개의 태그를 동시에 식별할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12-week aerobic exercise training on cardiac QT intervals and cardiovascular risk profiles in type 1 diabetic children. Eleven type 1 diabetic children aged 9-17 years took part in this study as subject. The participants performed aerobic exercise training three times a week for total 12 weeks. The intensity of the training was adjusted at HRR 45% until three weeks and at HRR 55% since four weeks. After a 12-week aerobic exercise training systolic (p<0.05) and diastolic (p<0.05) blood pressure of the subjects was decreased. There was significant decrease in cardiac QT intervals (p<0.05), TC level (p<0.05), and HDL-C level (p<0.05). Therefore, the results of this study suggest that long-term regular physical activity of type 1 diabetic children considered exercise intensity and frequency may effect and play a important role in the prevention of diabetic complications and cardiovascular health care.

현재 활용되고 있는 침탄질화기술과 QT + 저온 플라즈마 침질탄화 기술로 소재의 표면특성을 향상시켜 상대적인 비교를 위해 미세조직, 경도, XRD, GDS 및 Wear Test를 실시하였다. 비교결과 확산층에서의 경도는 침탄처리한 시편이 상대적으로 높았지만, 표면경도 및 Wear Test의 경우 QT+플라즈마 침질탄화처리한 시편이 더 좋은 결과를 보였다.

본 논문에서는 내장형 리눅스 환경에서 XML기반 EBKS용 전자책 리더 개발에 대한 내용이다. 개발된 단말기는 내장형 리눅스 타겟보드에서 한국형 전자책 문서 표준에 기반한 XML 문서를 Qt SAX 파서를 이용하여 파싱하고, 크로스 플랫폼형 윈도우 시스템인 QWS(Qt windows system)를 이용하여 디스플레이한다. 개발된 전자책 리더는 리눅스 환경 뿐만 아니라 다양한 윈도우 플랫폼에서 신속하고 쉽게 개발 가능하며 SAX 파서를 사용하므로 DOM 인터페이스에 비해 메모리를 적게 사용한다.

공장 자동화의 주요 구성요소 중 하나로서 PLC와 연결되어 자동화 설비 또는 장치의 운전 상태를 감시하고 제어하는 HMI는 주로 제조업체별로 특정한 시스템을 사용하기 때문에 시스템 개발 시 많은 부하를 주게 된다. 이에 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 오픈 소스인 임베디드 리눅스 기반에 멀티 플랫폼을 지원하는 Qt/Embedded를 사용하여 산업용 터치 패널형 HMI 소프트웨어 모듈을 구현하였다. 이로 인해 한번 작성된 프로그램을 소스 수정 없이 Qt가 지원되는 시스템이면 어떤 시스템에서도 사용할 수 있다는 이점을 가진다.

Two Antihistamines, terfenadine and astemizole have been withdrawn from major markets for the reason that these durgs have been reported to induce QT interval prolongation associated with the onset of Torsades do Pointes (TdP), resulting in a life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia. In this study, we investigated effects of diphenhydramine on electrocardiograms and hemodynamic parameters in conscious telemetered dogs. We validated and defined the sensitivity of the test system by monitoring basal parameters and using positive control substance, terfenadine. Single administration effects were tested during 24 hours for each test drug at dose 1 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, 30 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg. We monitored QT, QTc, heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature after administering test drugs. In conscious telemetered dogs, diphenhydramine significantly prolonged $QT\;(6.8\%\;of\;basal)\;and\;QTc\;(7.8\%\;of\;basal)$ at 100 mg/kg. Other parameters were not affected significantly. These findings suggest that antihistamines could induce important clinical relevance for patients taking excessive dosages of conventional antihistamines and those at risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias. Future studies that include other antihistamines and other classes will be necessary to predict the torsadogenic risk of drugs in humans.

RFID, Radio Frequency Identification, is a technology of automated identification replacing bar-code. RFID technology has advantages that it recognizes fast and it is strong to contamination using wireless communication. However, there are difficult problems that should be solved for popularization of RFID. Among of these, tag anti-collision problem is dealed in this paper. It affected the performance of RFID system directly. This paper analyzes conventional algorithms and proposes new algorithms of tag anti-collision. The algorithm proposed was composed of appropriate properties to each phase of distribution and recognition as hybrid between ALOHA-based algorithm and QT-based algorithm. At phase of distribution, the number of tags recognizing at a frame was reduced using ALOHA-based algorithm. It addressed the delay problem because of deep depth of tree. At phase of recognition, it solved ALOHA-based chronic problem that couldn't recognize all the tags sometimes. Moreover, QTR algorithm that recognize by reversed tag IDs was adopted for the performance. The FQTR algorithm proposed in this paper showed brilliant performance as compared with convention algorithms by simulation.
