본 논문에서는 심장의 심근세포의 탈분극과 재분극을 반영하는 불응기(Refractory Period)를 이용한 R-파 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 R-파의 특징과 가변 불응기를 이용하여 R-정점을 검출한다. 먼저 상대적으로 높은 전위 점을 R-정점 후보로 추출하고, 그 후보 점에 대해 첨도와 전위를 고려한 불응기를 구한다. 다음으로 불응기내에서 R-파의 형태학적 특징을 이용하여 R-정점을 검출한다. 제안 알고리즘은 적은 연산을 가지므로 실시간 처리가 가능하다. 제안한 알고리즘을 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스의 모든 레코드에 적용한 결과 99.7% 이상의 매우 우수한 검출율을 보였다.

The inside wall of a coal gasifier is lined with refractory, and the corrosion of the refractory by coal sag is an important parameter affecting the refractory lifetime and the replacement period. This paper examines the changes in microstructure of a chromia refractory due to chemical reactions with penetrating slag as a function of slag composition. The effects of CaO and $Fe_2O_3$ concentrations were studied using Datong and KIDECO slag. Static corrosion experiments were carried out, the percent slag penetration and changes in the microstructure were determined by SEM/EDX analyses. FactSage equilibrium calculations were carried out to determine the equilibrium products and the predictions were compared with experimental observations.

심전도 신호에서 R-파는 다른 특징 점을 구하는데 중요한 역할을 할 뿐만 아니라 심장에 대한 많은 의학적인 정보를 가지고 있다. 지금까지의 연구는 심전도 신호 형태에 대한 분석을 통하여 R-파를 검출하였으나, R-파와 비슷한 형태의 P-파가 나타날 경우 정확한 R-파 검출이 어려웠다. 본 논문에서는 세포막이 흥분 후에 탈분극과 재 분극 기간인 불응기와 불응기내 파형의 첨도 형태를 이용하여 R-파를 검출하는 방식을 제시하였다. MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스에 있는 심전도 신호 대한 실험을 통하여 R-파와 유사한 형태의 P-파를 가진 105번과 108번 레코드뿐만 아니라 다른 레코드에서도 기존의 방식보다 비교적 우수한 검출율을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 불응기(Refractory Period)에 기반한 부정맥 심전도 신호의 특이 파형 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 부정맥 심전도 신호는 대부분 평균 10% 정도의 특이 파형을 갖는다. 따라서 장시간 심전도 신호를 관찰 및 분석해야 하는 의료진에게 심전도 신호 샘플의 90%이상이 축소된 특이 파형만을 제공함으로써 시간과 비용 측면에서 매우 큰 효과를 볼 수 있다. 제안 알고리즘은 R-파의 특징과 가변 불응기를 이용하여 R-peak를 검출한다. 검출된 R-peak에 대해 특이 파형에 포함되지 않은 R-peak들의 전위 및 첨도의 평균과 표준편차를 이용하여 특이 파형을 검출한다. 제안한 알고리즘을 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스의 모든 레코드에 적용한 결과 평균 90% 이상의 압축률을 보였다.

The adrenergic blocking activity and refractory period of cardiac muscle on isolated rabbit atria were measured after administration of Scutellaria. In rabbits and cats the antiarrhythmic action of Scutellaria on atrial and ventricular arrhythmias produced by epinephrine or ouabain was examined and also compared with that of propranolol and quinidine. The alcoholic extract of Scutellaria produced a marked decrease in heart rate and contractile amplitude of the isolated rabbit atria. Pretreatment with Scutellaria rendered the atria to fail to respond to epinephrine, indicating that this crude drug possesses an adrenergic blocking activity. The extract produced a marked prolongation of the refractory period of atrial muscle. The extract effectively abolished the spontaneous arrhythmia occurring in the isolated rabbit atria. As propranolol and quinidine it also suppressed the atrial arrhythmia induced by ouabain. The extract prevented, as propranolol and quinidine, the induction of ventricular arrhythmia arising from excessive dose of epinephrine in anesthetized rabbits and cats. With regard to the ventricular arrhythmia induced by a continuous infusion of ouabain, the alcoholic extract of Scutellaria exerted some suppressive effect in anesthetized rabbits but no effect on cats. From the above results, it may be concluded that Scutellaria is effective against atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. The antiarrhythmic effects of this drug may be the result of adrenergic beta receptor blocking and cardiac depressive activities including prolongation of the refractory period of cardiac muscle.

Objective: This study aimed to identify children's cognitive processing and performance characteristics while multiple task performance. It confirmed whether their multiple task performance and psychological refractory period (PRP) varied by task condition (stimulus onset asynchrony [SOA] and task difficulty) and stimulus modality. Methods: Seventy 5-year-olds were recruited. Multi-task tools were developed using the E-prime software. The children were required to respond to two stimuli (visual or auditory) presented with microscopic time difference and their response times (RTs) were recorded. Results: As the SOA increased, the RTs in the first task increased, while the RTs in the second task and PRP decreased. The RTs of the first and second tasks, and the PRP for difficult tasks, were significantly longer than those for easy tasks were. Additionally, there was an interaction effect between the SOA and task difficulty. Although there was no main effect of stimulus modality, task difficulty moderated the modality effect. In the high difficulty condition, the RTs of the first and second tasks and PRP for the visual-visual task were significantly longer than those for auditory-auditory task were. Conclusion: These results inform theoretical discussions on children's multi-task mechanism, and the loss of multiple task performance. Additionally, they provide practical implications and information on the composition of multi-tasks suitable for children in educational environments.

A fluid extract of Zizyphi Semen was employed in this experiment. The cardiac effects of Zizyphi Semen were examined on isolated rabbits atria and heart in situ of anesthetized cats and rabbits. The adrenergic blocking activity and refractory period of cardiac muscle were measured after administration of this drug. In rabbits and cats the antiarrhythmic action of Zizyphi Semen on atrial and ventricular arrhythmias produced by epinephrine or ouabain was examined. The results were following: 1. Zizyphi Semen produced a decrease in rate and contractile amplitude of the isolated rabbit atria and had a week blocking effect on epinephrine acceleration of atrial movement. 2. Zizyphi Semen effectively abolished the spontaneous arrhythmia occurring in the isolated rabbit atria ana the atrial arrhythmia induced by ouabain. 3. Zizyphi Semen produced a marked prolongation of the refractory period in isolated atrial muscle of rabbit. 4. Zizyphi Semen prevented the induction of ventricular arrhythmia arising from excessive dose of epinephrine in anesthetized rabbits and cats. 5. With regard to the ventricular arrhythmia induced by a continuous infusion of ouabain, Zizyphi Semen exerted suppressive effect and produced a marked prolongation of cardiac arrest time in anesthetized rabbits and cats. From the above results, it may be concluded that Zizyphi Semen is effective against atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. The antiarrhythmic effect of this drug may be the result of direct myocardial depressive and partially adrenergic beta receptor blocking activities including prolongation of the refractory period of cardiac muscle.

Background/Aims: Capsule endoscopy is a diagnostic method for evaluating the small bowel lumen and can detect undiagnosed lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield and clinical impact of capsule endoscopy in patients with refractory diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome and functional abdominal pain. Methods: This study involved a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data, maintained in a database. Patients with refractory diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome and functional abdominal pain within the period of March 2012 to March 2014 were included. Capsule endoscopy was used to detect small bowel pathologies in both groups. Results: Sixty-five patients (53.8% female) fulfilled the inclusion criteria and had a mean (${\pm}$standard deviation) age of $50.9{\pm}15.9$ years. Clinically significant lesions were detected via capsule endoscopy in 32.5% of the patients in the abdominal pain group and 54.5% of the patients in the diarrhea group. Overall, 48% of patients had small bowel pathologies detected during the capsule endoscopy study. Inflammatory lesions and villous atrophy were the most frequent lesions identified in 16.9% and 15.3% of patients in the abdominal pain and the diarrhea groups, respectively. Conclusions: Routine use of capsule endoscopy in patients with irritable bowel syndrome should not be recommended. However, in patients with refractory conditions, capsule endoscopy may identify abnormalities.

석탄가스화기의 내벽은 내화물로 구성되어 있다. 내화물의 침식은 가스화기 내화물의 수명 및 교체시기에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자이다. 본 논문에서는 슬래그와의 반응에 의한 내화재의 미세구조의 변화를 침식화합물의 형성에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 산화철 농도의 함수로 조사하였다. 산화철 농도가 낮은 KIDECO 탄 슬래그에 산화철을 첨가하여 정적 침식실험을 수행한 후 $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$의 형성과 침투 슬래그에서의 Fe의 고갈 깊이를 측정하였다. 그리고 FactSage를 이용한 평형계산을 통하여 chromite 형성조건을 조사하고 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 고정된 온도인 $1550^{\circ}C$에서 약 10%의 산화철을 포함한 KIDECO 슬래그에서는 $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$의 형성이 관찰되지 않았으나 산화철의 함량이 증가될수록 $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$ 형성이 관찰되었으며, 경계면의 $(Fe,Cr)_3O_4$ 층의 두께가 증가하였고, 산화철의 고갈 깊이도 증가하였다. 또한 산화철의 양이 많아질수록 화학적 침식이 증가하면서 슬래그와 내화물의 경계가 모호해지는 것을 확인하였다. 슬래그-내화재 계의 평형계산은 슬래그의 산화철 농도가 증가할수록 가스화기 조업온도에서 chromite 형성 가능성이 높아짐을 보여주었다, 또한 내화물이 슬래그에 용해된 경우와 같이 $Cr_2O_3$가 낮은 농도로 존재할 때 chromite 형성이 가장 유리하였고, 산화철의 농도가 20% 이하에서는 슬래그와 내화물이 같은 양으로 존재하는 경우가 chromite 형성에 가장 불리하였다.

Torsades de pointes refers to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT), which is caused by the suppression of potassium channels owing to genetic and electrolytic abnormalities, resulting in the extension of the QT interval. Symptoms range from spontaneous circulation recovery to fainting and sudden death. Defibrillation, magnesium correction, and the use of lidocaine as an antiarrhythmic agent are recommended as treatments for persistent torsades de pointes. Currently, only amiodarone is available in the ambulance; however, torsades de pointes does not respond efficiently to amiodarone because it suppresses potassium channels and increases the refractory period of the myocardium. Lidocaine, in contrast, reduces the relative refractory period of the myocardium caused by suppressing sodium channels; thus, it inhibits the occurrence of and treats arrhythmia. In cases where PMVT did not respond to defibrillation, the administration of lidocaine showed no difference in survival and discharge rates compared to amiodarone. Thus, ambulances must be equipped with provisions to administer lidocaine.
