Collagen은 세포 외에 존재하며, 분자의 수명이 매우 긴 단백질이므로, 노화와 관련된 비효소적 당화의 대상으로 많은 관심이 모아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 진피 collagen의 비효소적 당화와 분해 및 가교결합에 대한 자외선(UVA)과 활성산소종들의 영향을 검토하였다. 암소 피부로부터 얻은 collagen 과 glucose의 혼합물에 몇가지 활성산소 소거제를 첨가하고 UVA를 조사하여 비효소적 당화, 단백질 분해, 가교결합의 정도를 관찰하였다. 비효소적 당화는 자외선에 의해 증가되지 않았으며, 수퍼옥사이드 라디칼과 일중항 산소의 소거제에 의해서는 감소하였으나, 히드록시 라디칼 소거제에 의해서는 변화가 없었다. 단백질 분해와 가교결합은 자외선에 의해 증가되었으며, 분해는 세가지 활성산소의 소거제 모두에 의해 감소되었으나, 가교결합은 특히 히드록시 라디칼 소거제의 영향이 컸다. 즉 수퍼옥사이드 라디칼과 일중항 산소는 자외선과는 관계 없이 당의 자동산화에 의해 발생되어 당화로 인한 변화의 초기 단게에 관여하고, 반응의 뒷부분에서는 당단백질과 자외선에 의해 만들어진 히드록시 라디칼이 주된 역할을 하고 있다. 상기의 결과로부터 활성산소종들과 자외선은 다른 조직 및 세포물질들을 손상시키듯이 노화와 관련된 collagen 변화를 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 자외선 차단제와 함께 활성산소 소거 물질들을 외용도포하는 것이 태양광선의 해로운 영향으로부터 진피를 보호하는데 도움이 될 수 있음을 의미한다.

Purpose: $Allevyn^{(R)}$(Smith & Nephew, England) is a type of polyurethane foam material with good wound discharge absorption. $Acticoat^{(R)}$(Smith & Nephew, England) is a silver coated dressing material which is effective in infected wound. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of dry gauze, $Acticoat^{(R)}$ and $Allevyn^{(R)}$ on infected full-thickness wound healing in rat. Methods: One hundred and twenty rats were divided into 3 groups: group I(dressing with dry gauze, n=40), group II(dressing with $Allevyn^{(R)}$, n=40), group III(dressing with $Acticoat^{(R)}$, n=40). A $15{\times}15mm$ square full-thickness wound was made on the dorsum and left open for 24 hours. The size of wound defects were measured each dressing changes. The histological evaluation was performed on the 3rd day, 7th day, 14th day, 21th day. Results: After the wound was left open for 24 hours, typical findings of bacterial infection was observed. After the 7th day, group III showed larger area of epithelialization, smaller defect size compared to those of two other groups. Complete replacement by fibrotic scar tissue was observed in group III with no signs of inflammation on the 14th day. By day 21, the average defect size in group III was decreased from initial 100% to 3.63%. while in group I and II, it was decreased to 62.66% and 53.62%, respectively. Conclusion: $Acticoat^{(R)}$ is an effective tool in the treatment of infected wound.

Purpose: Surgical reconstruction of an ischial soft tissue defect presents a challenging problem owing to a high rate of recurrence, especially paraplegic patients. Although various muscle, musculocutaneous and fasciocuta - neous flaps have been used in the reconstruction of ischial soft tissue defect, it is still debated which type of flaps are the best. We had performed a relatively durable adductor magnus perforator island flap based on the perforators originated from the first medial branch of the profunda femoris artery for coverage of ischial soft tissue defect where was not a region universally reconstructed by perforator flap. Methods: From August 2005 until January 2008, the adductor magnus perforator island flap had been used for resurfacing of the ischial soft tissue defects in a series of 6 patients (4 male and 2 female). Ages ranged from 26 to 67 years (mean, 47.5 years), and follow - up period from 13 to 26 months (mean, 16.7 months). Causes were 4 pressure ulcers, 1 cellulitis and 1 suppurative keratinous cyst. Results: The sizes of these flaps ranged from 12 to 18 cm in length and 7 to 9 cm in width. The flaps survived in all patients. Marginal loss over the distal area of the flap by infection was noted in one patient, which was treated successfully with a subsequent split - thickness skin graft. Average thickness of the flap was 0.94 cm, which was more thicker than other perforator flaps. Long term follow - up showed a good flap durability. Conclusion: In planning a reconstructive option of ischial soft tissue defect, the adductor magnus perforator island flap is a relatively large cutaneous flap with a durable thickness. With proper patient selection, careful vascular dissection and postoperative management, we recommend this flap is a good and suitable option for coverage of the ischial soft tissue defect.

Malassezia pachydermatis 추출물의 피내접종시 과민반응을 알아보고자 본 실험을 수행하였다. 정상적인 개와 M. pachydermatis 외이염에 이환된 개를 대상으로 M. pachydermatis 추출물의 피내접종을 실시하였다. 전기영동을 통해 M. pachydermatis 분자량 조사를 통해 $43{\sim}63kDa$을 포함하고 있는 추출물을 사용하였다. Malassezia 외이염에 감염된 군에서의 평균 팽진의 직경은 20, 2, 0.2, and $0.02{\mu}g/ml$을 피내로 접종했을 때, 각각 $13.36{\pm}0.67,\;5.33{\pm}0.67,\;5.47{\pm}0.82$와 $5.07{\pm}0.64$을 나타내었으며, 팽진의 두께는 각각 20, 2, 0.2, and $0.02{\mu}g/ml$에서 $6.44{\pm}0.40,\;3.86{\pm}0.35,\;2.64{\pm}0.36$와 $2.60{\pm}0.44$를 나타내었다. 통계학적으로 건강한 군과 외이염에 이환된 군에 있어서 유의한 차이가 인정되었다. (p<0.01). 더구나$20{\mu}g/ml$ 을 주입한 군에서 이 차이는 더욱 두드러져 농도 의존성을 나타내었다. 따라서 M. pachydermatis 유래 항원을 개의 피내에 접종했을 때, 즉시 팽진반응을 유발한다는 것이 확인되었으며 효모균에 대한 과민증은 즉시형 피부과민반응을 보이는 개, 특히 Malassezia otitis에 감염된 개에서 임상증상의 발현에 관여하는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 2, 0.2, $0.02{\mu}g/ml$의 농도에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않는 것으로 보아 즉시형 과민반응을 나타내기 위해서는 일정한 역치가 있을 것으로 생각되며 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, mobile healthcare services have attracted significant attention because of the emerging development and supply of diverse wearable devices. Smartwatches and health bands are the most common type of mobile-based wearable devices and their market size is increasing considerably. However, simple value comparisons based on accumulated data have revealed certain problems, such as the standardized nature of health management and the lack of personalized health management service models. The convergence of information technology (IT) and biotechnology (BT) has shifted the medical paradigm from continuous health management and disease prevention to the development of a system that can be used to provide ground-based medical services regardless of the user's location. Moreover, the IT-BT convergence has necessitated the development of lifestyle improvement models and services that utilize big data analysis and machine learning to provide mobile healthcare-based personal health management and disease prevention information. Users' health data, which are specific as they change over time, are collected by different means according to the users' lifestyle and surrounding circumstances. In this paper, we propose a prediction model of user physical activity that uses data characteristics-based long short-term memory (DC-LSTM) recurrent neural networks (RNNs). To provide personalized services, the characteristics and surrounding circumstances of data collectable from mobile host devices were considered in the selection of variables for the model. The data characteristics considered were ease of collection, which represents whether or not variables are collectable, and frequency of occurrence, which represents whether or not changes made to input values constitute significant variables in terms of activity. The variables selected for providing personalized services were activity, weather, temperature, mean daily temperature, humidity, UV, fine dust, asthma and lung disease probability index, skin disease probability index, cadence, travel distance, mean heart rate, and sleep hours. The selected variables were classified according to the data characteristics. To predict activity, an LSTM RNN was built that uses the classified variables as input data and learns the dynamic characteristics of time series data. LSTM RNNs resolve the vanishing gradient problem that occurs in existing RNNs. They are classified into three different types according to data characteristics and constructed through connections among the LSTMs. The constructed neural network learns training data and predicts user activity. To evaluate the proposed model, the root mean square error (RMSE) was used in the performance evaluation of the user physical activity prediction method for which an autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, a convolutional neural network (CNN), and an RNN were used. The results show that the proposed DC-LSTM RNN method yields an excellent mean RMSE value of 0.616. The proposed method is used for predicting significant activity considering the surrounding circumstances and user status utilizing the existing standardized activity prediction services. It can also be used to predict user physical activity and provide personalized healthcare based on the data collectable from mobile host devices.

양성자 치료는 방사선치료 중 하나로 브래그 피크로 알려진 물리적 특성을 활용한 방법이다. 양성자 치료계획 수립 시 주로 전산화단층촬영(CT)의 인체 횡단면 영상이 사용되고 있다. CT는 사용되는 관전압에 따라 HU가 변하게 되며 이는 구조물의 경계, 두께 변화로 이어진다. 본 연구는 Geant4를 이용하여 복합 물질로 구성된 두개골 팬텀에서 두께 변화에 따른 뇌 영역의 브래그 곡선의 변화를 살펴보았다. 먼저, 단일 물질로 구성된 팬텀에서 매질의 종류와 양성자의 입사에너지에 따른 브래그 곡선을 측정하여 Geant4 계산결과의 신뢰성을 확보하였다. 두개골 팬텀의 각 두께를 변동하였을 때 뇌 영역에서 발생하는 피크의 위치변화를 측정하였다. 연부조직의 두께를 변화하였을 때 피크의 위치 변화는 나타나지 않았으며, 피부의 두께를 변화하였을 때 피크의 변화는 적었으며, 주로 뼈의 두께를 변화할 때 피크의 위치 변화가 나타났다. 또한 뼈를 단독으로 변화하였을 때와 뼈를 다른 조직과 함께 변화하였을 때 피크의 위치 변화량은 동일하였다. 뼈의 정확한 두께 측정이 방사선치료계획의 선량-깊이 분포 예측에 주요 인자 중 하나임을 확인하였다.

포름알데하이드는 호흡기 및 피부 질환을 일으키는 등 인체에 유해한 실내 환경 오염물질로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 활성탄소섬유 표면에 질소 작용기를 도입하기 위하여 질소 플라즈마 처리를 하였고, 질소 작용기 함유 활성탄소섬유에 대한 포름알데하이드 흡착 특성을 고찰하였다. 주입되는 질소 가스의 유량이 증가함에 따라 활성탄소섬유 표면에 도입되는 질소 작용기의 함량이 약 7% 정도 증가하였으며, 존재하는 질소 작용기의 종류별 비율도 유사하였다. 또한 플라즈마 처리에 의한 식각 효과로 인하여 활성탄소섬유 표면에 초미세기공이 증가하였다. 이에 따라 표면 개질된 활성탄소섬유의 포름알데하이드 흡착 효율도 증가하였다. 그러나, 질소 유량이 120 sccm 이상인 조건에서는 활성탄소섬유 표면이 과도하게 식각되어, 비표면적이 감소하고 포름알데하이드 흡착 능력이 오히려 저하되었다. 따라서, 질소 플라즈마 처리된 활성탄소섬유의 포름알데하이드 흡착은 도입된 질소 작용기의 함량이 주요 요인이지만, 이와 함께 적합한 기공 구조를 가질 때 포름알데하이드의 흡착 효율이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.
