Background: The purpose of this study is to determine if there is any relationship among the distance from the skin to cervical epidural space, patients height, weight, neck circumference and body mass index (BMI). Methods: The data was collected from 219 patients who suffer acute and chronic pain from neck and upper extrmities. Cervical epidural catheterization was perfomed at the $C_{6-7}$, $C_7-T_1$ intervertebral space. The depth of the epidural space from the skin, age, height, weight and neck circumference were measured by a standard ruler and the BMI was calculated. Results: The distance from the skin to cervical epidural space at $C_{6-7}$, $C_7-T_1$ in males, and $C_{6-7}$, $C_7-T_1$ in female were $4.69{\pm}0.55$ cm, $5.24{\pm}0.61$ cm, $4.28{\pm}0.49$ cm, and $4.83{\pm}0.54$ cm, respectively. Conclusions: The results indicated that body weight, neck circumference and BMI could be a guideline for the location of the cervical epidural space.

본 논문은 스테레오 영상에 기반한 3차원 주름 데이터 복원 시스템을 제안한다. 일반적으로, 3차원 데이터 복원 연구는 스테레오 영상 또는 비디오 영상을 통해, 문화유산과 같은 건물이나 주변 환경에 적용하는 연구가 최근 활발히 진행되고 있다. 3차원 데이터 복원에서 사물 측정의 목적은 각 영상간의 깊이 정보 계산을 통해 3차원 데이터를 획득하는 것이다. 본 연구를 진행하기 위해선 몇 가지 고려해야할 사항이 있다. 첫째로, 카메라 성능과 비 균일한 구성의 피부, 그리고 조명의 영향 때문에 촬영 시 주름의 완전한 정보를 얻기가 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문은 주름의 정보를 최대한 완전하게 얻기 위해, 근접 촬영이 가능한 접사렌즈를 사용하였다. 둘째로, 피부 영상은 영상 분할이나 특징점을 추출하는데 부정확한 문제점이 있어, 스테레오 영상의 밀집 정보를 얻기가 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문은 주름의 정확한 깊이 정보 계산을 위해 반 밀집에 기반한 스테레오 정합 알고리즘을 사용한다. 본 시스템은 기존의 3차원 스캐너와 비교해 비용 절감의 효과가 있으며, 실험 결과 일반적인 모델링 방법보다 고성능의 결과를 보여주며 이를 통해 활용방안이 많을 것으로 예상된다.

Radiation causes radiation hazards in the human body. In Korea, a case of radiation necrosis occurred in 2014. In this study, the scatter and shielding efficiency according to lead shielding were classified into epidermis and dermis for 0.511 MeV used in nuclear medicine. In this study, experiments were conducted using the slab phantom that represents calibration and the dose of human trunk. Experimental results showed that the shielding rate of 0.25 mmPb was 180% in the epidermis and 96% in the dermis. Shielding at 0.5mmPb showed shielding rates of 158%in the epidermis and 82% in the dermis. As a result of measuring the absorbed dose by subdividing the thickness of the dermis into 0.5 mm intervals, when the shielding was carried out at 0.25 mmPb, the dose appeared to be about 120% at 0.5 mm of the dermis surface, and the dose was decreased at the subsequent depth. Shielding at 0.5 mmPb, the dose appeared to be about 101% at the surface 0.5 mm, and the dose was measured to decrease at the subsequent depth. This result suggests that when lead aprons are actually used, the scattering rays would be sufficiently removed due to the spaces generated by the clothes and air, Therefore, the scattered ray generated from lead will not reach the human body. The ICRU defines the epidermis (0.07), in which the radiation-induced damage of the skin occurs, as the dose equivalent. If the radiation dose of the dermis is considered in addition, it will be helpful for the evaluation of the prognosis for radiation hazard of the skin.

미용(美容)산업의 폭발적 발전 속에서 피부관리사는 과중한 업무 강도나 무리한 근무시간으로 인해 건강과 직무(職務) 태도에 부정적 영향을 받게 됨에 따라 근무 환경이나 직무 심리에 대한 시급한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 가설을 설정하여 매뉴얼 테크닉과 연계한 피부관리사의 직무 효능감과 직무만족도에 미치는 주요 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 연구 결과 피부미용 매뉴얼 테크닉이 피부관리사의 직무 효능감에 미치는 영향에서는 강찰법이 많은 영향을 미쳤으며 직무만족도를 유발하는 영향에서는 유연법, 고타법, 진동법이 유의적 영향을 미쳤다. 피부관리실에서 고객의 시술 목적과 적용 범위에 따른 심화된 매뉴얼 테크닉의 연구와 개발은 피부관리사의 직무 효능감과 직무만족도뿐만 아니라 고객 만족을 위하여 필요하기 때문에 본 연구는 피부관리사의 직무심리의 후속 연구에 기초자료로 활용되리라 사료한다.

Transdermal drug delivery offers various advantages over conventional drug delivery systems, such as avoidance gastrointestinal degradation and hepatic first-pass effect. encourages patient compliance. and possible sustained release of drugs. However, transdermal transport of drugs is low permeability of the stratum corneum, the superficial layer of the skin. Many physicochemical and biological factors influencing transdermal transport is described together with the corresponding experimental and clinical results. Phonophoresis is medical treatment with drugs introduced into the skin by ultrasound energy. Enhanced drug penetration is through to result from the biophysical alterations of skin structure by ultrasound waves. The frequency used for phonophoresis is usually from 20 kHz to 15MHz. Phonophoresis can be categorized in to three ranges: low-frequency range(below 1 MHz). therapeutic frequency range(1 to 3MHz), and high-frequency range(above 3 MHz). The depth of penetration of ultrasound into skin is inversely proportional to the frequency. Cavitation may cause mechanical stress. temperature elevation, or enhanced chemical reactivity causing drug transport. One theory is that ultrasound affects the permeation of the stratum corneum lipid structure as the limiting step in permeating through the skin. The range of indications for phonophoresis is wide. Aspecific classification of the range of indications is obtained by classification of pathological conditions. The continuous research is needed for many interesting issucs of phonophoretic transdermal delivory in new future.

Purpose: Facial nerve injury is a rare but feared complication of face lift. Uncertainty as to the depth and vulnerability of the facial nerve in face lift dissection causes some surgeon, particularly novices, to dissect slowly. Excessively thin flaps can be made because of fear of nerve injury, contributing to skin slough. Methods: From September 1998 to February 2003, the authors operated on 34 aging face patients using classical face-lift. We had analysed about quantity of skin removal and degree of elevated flap. The authors have found quantity of skin removal was 1.5-2.0 cm, degree of elevated flap was 40-45 degree on average. Results: The authors performed preauricular pre-excision face-lift technique on 12 aging face patients from July 2003 to Feburary 2005 based on experienced surgery. This technique reduced fear of dissecting skin flap necrosis and facial nerve injury because of firmly attached pre-auricular skin removed in advance. Conclusions: We easily dissected SMAS without visual field disturbance, nerve damage and reduced operation time and bleeding loss compared to classical face-lift.

Background : This study was designed to determine if cervical epidural depth has any correlation with age, height, weight, ponderal index and neck clrcunference. Methods : Data was obtained from 102 patients successfully anesthetized with cervical epidural block. Patients were categorized into 4 groups: male C6-7, male C7-T1, female C6-7, female C7-T1 then statistically compared and analyzed. Results : The mean and standard deviation of epidural depth of male C6-7, male C&-T1, female C6-7, female C7-T1 groups were respectively as follows: 41.1+/-6.0, 47.1+/-5.6, 37.9+/-6.0, 46.4+/-5.6 mm. The results showed cervical epidural depth is well correlated with body weight and ponderal index; moderately correlated with neck circumference: slightly correlated with age; no correlation with height.

Introductions: Pneumothorax is the most frequent severe acupuncture-related adverse event occurring at the GB 21 acupoint. This study used ultrasonography (US) to measure the depth of the GB 21 acupoint in adults and assessed its applicability for ensuring safe acupuncture practices. Materials and methods: A US probe was used to measure the vertical depth from the skin to the pleural line of the apex of the lungs at the right and left GB 21 acupoints. The sex, age, body weight, height, and body mass index of each person were recorded. Student t test and generalized estimating equations were used for statistical analysis. Results: Sixty women and 41 men with a median age of 29 years were included in this study. The depth of GB 21 increased with body weight, height, and body mass index (p < 0.001). The mean depth of GB 21 in men (17.4 mm) was greater than that in women (14.6 mm; p < 0.001). The depth difference between the right and left shoulders was significant in men (p < 0.001) but not in women. Conclusions: US can be used to measure GB 21 acupoint depth. Further control studies on its use to ensure safe clinical practices, including preventing acupuncture-related pneumothorax, are warranted.

In recent years, a miniature spectrometer has been extensively developed due to the combination of fiber optics and semiconductor detector arrays. This type of miniature spectrometer has advantages of low price and robustness because of the capability of mass production and no moving parts are required such as lenses, mirrors and scanning monochromator. In this study, for skin diagnostics, a portable near infrared (NIR) system has been developed using a LlGA microspectrometer, which is photo-diode arrays-type.(omitted)
