Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis is an uncommon diffuse cystic lung disease in adults. In rare cases, it can involve extrapulmonary organs and lead to endocrine abnormalities such as central diabetes insipidus. A 42-year-old man presented with polyphagia and polydipsia, as well as a dry cough and dyspnea on exertion. Magnetic resonance imaging of the hypothalamic-pituitary system failed to show the posterior pituitary, which is a typical finding in patients with central diabetes insipidus. This condition was confirmed by a water deprivation test, and the patient was also found to have type 2 diabetes mellitus. Computed tomographic scanning of the lungs revealed multiple, irregularly shaped cystic lesions and small nodules bilaterally, with sparing of the costophrenic angles. Lung biopsy through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery revealed pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis. On a follow-up visit, only 1 year after the patient had quit smoking, clinical and radiological improvement was significant. Here, we report an uncommon case of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis that simultaneously presented with diabetes insipidus and diabetes mellitus.

Flexible organic light emitting diodes (F-OLEDs) requires excellent moisture permeation barriers to minimize the degradation of the F-OLEDs device. Specifically, F-OLEDs device need a barrier layer that transmits less than $10^{-6}g/m^2/day$ of water and $10^{-5}g/m^2/day$ of oxygen. To increase the life time of F-OLEDs, therefore, it is indispensable to protect the organic materials from water and oxygen. Severe groups have reported on multi-layerd barriers consisting inorganic thin films deposited by plasma enhenced chemical deposition (PECVD) or sputtering. However, it is difficult to control the formation of granular-type morphology and microscopic pinholes in PECVD and sputtering. On the contrary, atomic layer deoposition (ALD) is free of pinhole, highly uniform, conformal films and show good step coverage. Thus, $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ multi-layer was deposited onto the polyethersulfon (PES) substrate by electron cyclotron resonance atomic layer deposition (ECR-ALD), and the water vapor transmission rates (WVTR) were measured. WVTR of moisture permeation barriers is dependent upon density of films and initial state of polymer surface. A significant reduction of WVTR was achieved by increasing density of films and by applying low plasma induced interlayer on the PES substrate. In order to minimize damage of polymer surface, a 10 nm thick $TiO_2$ was deposited on PES prior to a $Al_2O_3$ ECR-ALD process. High quality barriers were developed from $Al_2O_3$ barriers on the $TiO_2$ interlayer. WVTR of $Al_2O_3$ by introducing $TiO_2$ interlayer was recorded in the range of $10^{-3}g/m^2.day$ at $38^{\circ}C$ and 100% relative humidity using a MOCON instrument. The WVTR was two orders of magnitude smaller than $Al_2O_3$ barriers directly grown on PES substrate without the $TiO_2$ interlayer. Thus, we can consider that the $Al_2O_3/TiO_2$ multi-layer passivation can be one of the most suitable F-OLEDs passivation films.

무선 전력전송기에서 두 유도 코일 사이의 무선 전력전송 특성과 영향에 대해서 알아보고, 무선 전력전송 기술을 이용한 전력변환기 회로와 배터리 충·방전기 회로를 제안한다. 무선 전력전송기 및 무선 충전기의 장점은 기존의 플러그인 탑재형 유선 충전기(OBC; on-board charger) 대신 무선으로 전력을 전송하여 배터리에 전력 충전 시 사용자가 외부에서 전원을 연결 시키지 않고 무선으로 충전할 수 있는 점이다. 또한 무선충전의 이점은 2차 측 정류기의 회로와 수신 코일을 사용하여 에너지 효율 향상 효과를 가져올 수 있으나, 대용량의 원거리 무선충전 방식은 전송거리에 대한 한계가 있어 현재 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 비 접촉 방식의 전력 전송기의 전력을 전송 할 수 있는 송신부 인 1차측 코일과 수신부인 2차측 코일 및 하프브리지(half bridge) 직렬공진 컨버터를 적용한 무선 전력전송장치의 송신부 회로와 수신부 회로의 연구를 목적으로 무선충전시스템의 전력전송거리 향상을 위한 새로운 토폴로지를 적용하고, 각각의 거리에 따른 실험을 통해 8 cm 전송거리에서 출력 3 kW 일 때, 최대 효율(95.8%)을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Purpose: To evaluate the correlation between the fibrillar pattern of the Achilles tendon on ultrasonography (US) and functional outcomes in patients who underwent open tendon repair after Achilles tendon rupture. Materials and Methods: Data of 44 patients who had been subjected to US at least 6 months after repair, during the period between July 2012 and July 2019 were reviewed. Those with bilateral tendon rupture, re-rupture, open injury, and chronic or insertional rupture, were excluded from the review. We divided them into two groups, the homogenous group (HoP) and the heterogenous group (HeP) based on the fibrillar pattern on US. We also divided the HoP into linear and wavy subgroups, and the HeP into no hypoechoic lesion and hypoechoic lesion subgroups. The rupture type of the Achilles tendon, radiographic factors including US and magnetic resonance images, patient-related, surgical factors, and clinical results at the last visit after repair were assessed retrospectively. Results: The tendon thickness was 11.4±1.7 mm in the HoP, and 14.5±3.0 mm in the HeP (p<0.001). A shredded pattern was observed in 17 cases (65.4%) in the HoP, and in 17 cases (94.4%) in the HeP (p=0.031). The mean value of the number of sutures used was 8.9±3.05 in the HoP and 11.39±1.75 in the HeP (p=0.001). The mean value of the difference in calf circumference was 0.9±0.67 cm in the HoP and 1.36±0.71 cm in the HeP (p=0.037). There were no statistically significant differences in the fibrillar patterns and patient-related factors. Conclusion: The fibrillar pattern observed after repair was correlated with the functional outcome and showed a significant relationship with the rupture pattern and the number of sutures used. Therefore, we suggest a careful individualized postoperative rehabilitation protocol to maximize functional outcomes by referring to the fibrillar pattern in US, especially in shredded ruptures.

고속철도 교량은 열차 하중에 의한 공진으로 인한 동적응답 증폭의 위험이 존재하므로 설계기준에 따른 동적해석을 통한 주행안전성 및 승차감 검토를 반드시 수행하여야 한다. 그러나 주행안전성 및 승차감 산정 절차는 열차의 종류별로 임계속도를 포함하여 설계속도의 110km/h까지 10km/h 간격으로 동적해석을 일일이 수행해야 하므로 많은 시간과 경비가 소요된다. 이 연구에서는 딥러닝 알고리즘을 활용하여 별도의 동적해석 없이 주행안전성 및 승차감을 사전에 예측할 수 있는 딥러닝 기반 예측 시스템 개발하였다. 제안된 시스템은 철도교량의 열차별, 속도별 동적해석 결과를 학습한 후 학습 완료된 신경망을 기반으로 한 예측 시스템이며, 열차속도, 교량 특성 등의 입력파라미터에 따른 주행안전성 및 승차감 산정 결과를 사전에 예측할 수 있다. 제안된 시스템의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 단경간 직선 단순보 교량을 대상으로 한 주행안전성 및 승차감 예측을 수행하였고, 주행안전성 및 승차감 산정을 위한 상판 연직변위 및 상판 연직가속도를 높은 정확도로 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

국내 경부선 및 호남선의 고속철도교량은 대부분 PSC-box 형식으로 설계되어 있고, 경간장35~40m인 경우 약 4~5Hz 정도의 1차 휨 고유진동수를 가지고 있다. 이때 KTX 고속열차가 290~310 km/h 속도로 주행할 경우, 열차에 의한 가진 진동수가 교량의 1차 휨 고유진동수에 근접하면서 공진 유사 현상이 발생하게 된다. KTX와 함께 향후 운행예정인 EMU-320 고속열차의 증속에 대해서도 철도교량의 동적 응답을 통한 안전성 분석이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 실제 철도교량에서 계측된 응답을 기반으로 구조해석모델 개선 기법을 통해 대상 철도교량과 거동이 유사한 해석모델을 구현하였다. 개선된 구조해석모델은 고속철도교량에 KTX가 주행할 때 계측된 응답과 비교하여 검증하고, 이를 통해 KTX와 EMU-320 고속열차가 증속할 경우 동적 응답 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 결과적으로, 교량 중앙부의 최대 수직변위와 가속도의 변화는 철도설계기준과 비교하여 주행 안전성을 평가하였다.

Objective: Central nervous system involvement in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been increasingly reported. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the incidence of radiologically demonstrated neurologic complications and detailed neuroimaging findings associated with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search of MEDLINE/PubMed and EMBASE databases was performed up to September 17, 2020, and studies evaluating neuroimaging findings of COVID-19 using brain CT or MRI were included. Several cohort-based outcomes, including the proportion of patients with abnormal neuroimaging findings related to COVID-19 were evaluated. The proportion of patients showing specific neuroimaging findings was also assessed. Subgroup analyses were also conducted focusing on critically ill COVID-19 patients and results from studies that used MRI as the only imaging modality. Results: A total of 1394 COVID-19 patients who underwent neuroimaging from 17 studies were included; among them, 3.4% of the patients demonstrated COVID-19-related neuroimaging findings. Olfactory bulb abnormalities were the most commonly observed (23.1%). The predominant cerebral neuroimaging finding was white matter abnormality (17.6%), followed by acute/subacute ischemic infarction (16.0%), and encephalopathy (13.0%). Significantly more critically ill patients had COVID-19-related neuroimaging findings than other patients (9.1% vs. 1.6%; p = 0.029). The type of imaging modality used did not significantly affect the proportion of COVID-19-related neuroimaging findings. Conclusion: Abnormal neuroimaging findings were occasionally observed in COVID-19 patients. Olfactory bulb abnormalities were the most commonly observed finding. Critically ill patients showed abnormal neuroimaging findings more frequently than the other patient groups. White matter abnormalities, ischemic infarctions, and encephalopathies were the common cerebral neuroimaging findings.
