Preauricular sinus and preauricular skin tag are common childhood congenital anomalies. It is important for the pediatric surgeon to be familiar with the embryology and differentiation of head and neck structure to accurately diagnose and treat these lesions. Seventy eight patients with preauricular sinus and twenty-eight with preauricular skin tag treated in the Department of Pediatric Surgery at Hanyang University Hospital from January 1981 to May 2002 were reviewed to determine relative frequency, clinical classification and appropriate treatment. The male to female ratio of preauricular sinus was 1:1.2, and preauricular skin tag was 1:1. The most commonly presenting age of sinus and skin tag was before 5 year (62.8%) and before 1 year (53.6%). Twenty nine of 78 cases of preauricular sinuses were on the left, 25 on the right and 24 bilateral. Signs of infection were seen in 73.0% of patients with preauricular sinus at operation. Only 31.3% of lesions were infected in patients less than one year of age, but 89.5% between 3-5 years and 100% between 5-8 years. Cartilage was present in five patients with preauricular skin tag. Although re-operation due to wound infection was necessary in four cases, no recurrences were found. The preauricular sinus is a common anomaly in childhood, and has had a relatively high recurrence rate. But most of the recurrences were due to incomplete resection because of combined infection. Initial proper diagnosis and early operation are very important. Identification of the exact anatomical location of sinus tract is necessary because total excision of the lesions including those tracts is the only way to prevent recurrence.

본 논문에서는 동물의 표피와 근육질 사이 체내에 주입할 수 있는 UHF 대역의 RFID 태그를 개발하였으며, 그 태그를 사용한 동물정보관리 시스템을 개발 하였다. 일반 상용 태그는 동물의 체내에서 동작하지 않으므로 체지방과 근육의 유전율을 고려하여서 태그를 설계 하였다. 태그는 피부 밑에 삽입이 쉽도록 끝이 뾰족하게 그리고 얇게 설계되었다. 태그의 성능을 동물의 근육과 표피 안에서 검증하였다. 동물정보관리시스템은 개발된 태그를 사용하여 동물들의 종류, 병력, 주인의 정보, 주소지 등을 관리 할 수 있다. 개발된 프로그램과 태그는 군견이나 경찰견 관리용으로 사용이 가능하다.

We investigated the effects of substrate, metal-line, and surface material on the performance of radio frequency identification(RFID) tag antenna using a tag antenna with a meander line radiator and T-matching network. The results showed that readability of the tag antenna with a thin high-loss substrate could be increased so that it was similar to that of a low-loss substrate if the substrate was very thin. The readability of the tag antenna decreased significantly when the metal line was thinner than the skin depth. The readability of the tag also decreased drastically when the tag was attached to high-permittivity high-loss target objects.

Congenital anomalies of the head and neck region such as preauricular sinus and skin tag, thyroglossal duct cyst, branchial anomaly, cystic hygroma and dermoid cyst are common in pediatric population. It is important for pediatricians and pediatric surgeons to be familiar with the embryology and the anatomical characteristic of these lesions in order to diagnose and treat them properly. Three hundred and nineteen patients with congenital head and neck anomalies treated at Hanyang University Hospital between 1980 and 1999 were reviewed to determine the relative frequency of the anomalies and to analyze the method of management. Eight-four (25.1 %) of 335 lesions were preauricular sinus and skin tag, 81 (24.2 %) were thyroglossal duct cyst, 81 (24.2 %) branchial anomaly, 58 (17.3 %) cystic hygroma and 31 were (9.2 %) dermoid cyst. The male-to-female ratio was 1.4:1. Thyroglossal duct cyst most commonly present at 3-5years, however branchial anomalies commonly are diagnosed in children younger than 1 year. Preauricular sinus showed familial tendency in three patients and was bilateral is 33.8 %. Most head and neck anomalies in children have specific clinical and anatomical characterics. A careful history and physical examination is very useful for diagnosis and proper management. Experienced pediatric surgeons should do the initial surgery since the recurrence rate after incomplete surgical excision can be high.

본 논문은 유비쿼터스 헬스케어 시스템을 위하여 생체 정보 단말기 개발에 있어 심음 신호를 기반한 RF-Tag의 하드웨어 구조와 신호처리 방법을 제안한 것이다. 본 연구에서의 RF-Tag는 체온 센서와 심음 검출을 위한 다이나믹 마이크로폰, 측정된 헬스정보를 전송하기 위한 블루투스 통신, 적응 이득제어기로 이루어진 심박 주기 검출 알고리즘으로 구성되어 있다. RF-Tag의 성능 분석을 위해 잡음환경에서 실험하였으며, 그 결과 우수한 성능을 보였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 u-헬스케어 단말기에 적용한다면, 모바일 환경에서도 실시간적으로 정확한 헬스 정보를 얻을 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

Knowledge regarding lipid catabolism has been of great interest in the field of animal sciences. In the livestock industry, excess fat accretion in meat is costly to the producer and undesirable to the consumer. However, intramuscular fat (marbling) is desirable to enhance carcass and product quality. The manipulation of lipid content to meet the goals of animal production requires an understanding of the detailed mechanisms of lipid catabolism to help meticulously design nutritional, pharmacological, and physiological approaches to regulate fat accretion. The concept of a basic system of lipases and their co-regulators has been identified. The major lipases cleave triacylglycerol (TAG) stored in lipid droplets in a sequential manner. In adipose tissue, adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) performs the first and rate-limiting step of TAG breakdown through hydrolysis at the sn-1 position of TAG to release a non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) and diacylglycerol (DAG). Subsequently, cleavage of DAG occurs via the rate-limiting enzyme hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) for DAG catabolism, which is followed by monoglyceride lipase (MGL) for monoacylglycerol (MAG) hydrolysis. Recent identification of the co-activator (Comparative Gene Identification-58) and inhibitor [G(0)/G(1) Switch Gene 2] of ATGL have helped elucidate this important initial step of TAG breakdown, while also generating more questions. Additionally, the roles of these lipolysis-related enzymes in muscle, liver and skin tissue have also been found to be of great importance for the investigation of systemic lipolytic regulation.

BIPV or double skin applied to the surface of the building, power and thermal load cannot both be increased. In the case of BIPV, because it is applied to the facade, incident solar energy decreases and efficiency drops off. The system in this paper complements these disadvantages and aims to decrease the heating & cooling load by transforming solar energy to electronic and thermal energy. The research in this paper is about the applicability of the clear PV attached double-skin system. And the PV electronic generation and the factors that affect the heating & cooling load such as the daily radiation, sun shading ratio, heating & cooling load, daylight luminance and glare distributions in the building are simulated.

Congenital midline cervical cleft is a rare congenital disease. The disease is often misdiagnosed as a branchial cleft deformity, thyroglossal duct cyst, or other skin diseases. It has the following characteristics: skin defect at the midline of the anterior neck, a skin tag at the upper end of the lesion, and a blind sinus tract at the caudal aspect with or without mucoid discharge. Treatment is usually for aesthetic purposes; therefore, early surgical en bloc resection with Z-plasty or W-plasty is recommended to reduce recurrence and scar formation.

Background: Compared to the frequency of occurrence of pre-auricular skin tag, cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants is one of congenital, benign neck masses that is very rare all over the world. Most of these rare anomalies are reported in case reports and especially, rare cases of unilateral cervical chondrocutaneous branchial remnants have been reported in Korean. Materials & Methods: A 9-year-old male patient visited the hospital on September 2017 for a rod-shaped mass. As a simultaneous diagnosis and treatment method, complete surgical excision was executed. Results: Excised mass was 0.5cm in diameter, 1.2cm in. Histologically, a hyaline and elastic cartilage was found in the core. As a family history, the same remnant was found in the right Anterior neck area of his mother. Conclusion: In this case, it is possible to diagnose and treat simply at the same time and even an optimal aesthetic result can be obtained.

최근 가축 전염병에 대한 확산과 인체 감염에 대한 위험성 증대로 말미암아 가축 질병 관리의 중요성이 커짐에 따라 가축 생체 내의 상황을 실시간 감시할 수 있는 생체 삽입형 센서 태그 기반 가축 이력 관리 시스템에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 이에 가축 축사의 열악한 환경에서도 무선통신과 동시에 무선전력전송이 가능한 MFAN 기술과 배터리 없이 생체 내에 삽입된 센서 태그로부터 무선으로 데이터를 수집할 수 있는 900MHz RFID 기술을 융합하여 MFAN/RFID 생체 삽입형 센서 태그 기반 가축 이력 관리 시스템을 개발하였다. MFAN/RFID 생체 삽입형 센서 태그 기반 가축 이력 관리 시스템은 센서 융합 UHF 태그를 생체 내에 삽입하여 외부 환경의 영향을 받지 않고 체온 등 가축의 생체 변화를 실시간 모니터링하는 시스템으로, 태그에게 공급할 전력을 확보하기 위해서 가축의 목 부위에 설치하는 통신 및 전력전송을 위한 MFAN/RFID 중계기를 사용한다. MFAN 코디네이터는 MFAN 노드와 RFID 리더가 융합된 MFAN/RFID 중계기를 거쳐 생체 삽입된 센서 태그와 데이터 및 전력을 송수신한다. MFAN 코디네이터에 수집된 가축 데이터는 인터넷을 통해 가축 이력 관리 시스템으로 전달되어 관리된다. 본 시스템의 개발을 통해 가축 질병 관리에 대한 문제가 크게 개선될 것이라 기대된다.
