  • Aim: To compare drainage alone or combined with anti-tumor therapy for treatment of obstructive jaundice caused by recurrence and metastasis after primary tumor resection. Materials and Methods: We collect 42 patients with obstructive jaundice caused by recurrence and metastasis after tumor resection from January 2008 - August 2012, for which percutaneous transhepatic catheter drainage (pTCD)/percutaneous transhepatic biliary stenting (pTBS) were performed. In 25 patients drainage was combined with anti-tumor treatment, antineoplastic therapy including intra/postprodure local treatment and postoperative systemic chemotherapy, the other 17 undergoing drainage only. We assessed the two kinds of treatment with regard to patient prognosis. Results: Both treatments demonstrated good effects in reducing bilirubin levels in the short term and promoting liver function. The time to reobstruction was 125 days in the combined group and 89 days in the drainage only group; the mean survival times were 185 and 128 days, the differences being significant. Conclusions: Interventional drainage in the treatment of the obstructive jaundice caused by recurrence and metastasis after tumor resection can decrease bilirubin level quickly in a short term and promote the liver function recovery. Combined treatment prolongs the survival time and period before reobstruction as compared to drainage only.

  • The IEEE 802.15.7r1 Task Group (TG7r1), known as the revision of the IEEE 802.15.7 Visible Light Communication standard targeting the commercial usage of visible light communication systems which mainly use either image sensors or cameras, is of interest in this paper. The vast challenge in Image Sensor Communications (ISC), as it has been addressed in the Technical Consideration Document (TCD) of the TG7r1, is the Image Sensor Compatibility to support the variety of different commercial cameras available on the market. The on-going ISC standard must adhere to compatible image sensors regulations. This paper brings an inside review of the TG7r1 and an inside look of related works on Image Sensor Communications. The paper analyzes the compatibility features by introducing a revised model of receiver to explain how those features are necessary. One of the most challenging but interesting features is the capability in being compatible to camera frame rates. The variation of camera frame rate is modeled from verified experimental results. Noticeably, three singular approaches to support frame rates compatibility, including temporal approach, spatial approach, and frequency-domain approach, are proposed on the paper along with concise definitions. Those schemes have been presented as valuable proposals on the call-for-proposal meeting series of the TG7r1 recently.

  • 실험실 조건에서 몇 개의 다른 종류의 토양에 의한 일산화탄소 소모를 측정했다. 시료로는 유기질이 많은 부식토 및 도로변의 토양과 실험에서 이미 사용한 높은 농도의 일산화탄소와 접했던 부식토 및 도로변의 토양을 택했다. 높은 CO농도 조건에서 CO의 소모성을 조사하기 위해서 18.2l 반응용기에서 CO의 농도를 2,000ppm에서 24,000ppm으로 변화시켰다. 토양의 CO 제거는 기체크로마토그래피법으로 측정하였다. 본 실험에서 시행한 조절실험의 결과를 보면 CO를 주로 제거하는 것은 화분용 토양임을 지적하고 있다. 부식토의 CO소모속도는 도로변의 흙에 비하여 월등히 크고, 실험에서 재사용된 부식토는 새로운 부식토에 비하여 약 15% 높은 소모속도를 나타냈다. 대기로부터 CO를 제거하는 토양의 능력은 $9,000{\sim}24,000ppm$의 CO농도 범위에서는 13,000ppm 근처일때 최대치에 도달했다. 스트렙토마이신의 첨가는 토양의 CO제거능력에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하지만, 10%의 소금물은 부식토의 CO제거능력을 현저하게 억제시켰다.

  • Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a fatal complication that occurs after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. To understand the dynamics of CD4 and CD8 T cell production of IFN-${\gamma}$ and IL-17 during GVHD progression, we established a GVHD model by transplanting T cell-depleted bone marrow (TCD-BM) and purified T cells from B6 mice into irradiated BALB.B, creating an MHC-matched but minor histocompatibility (H) antigen-mismatched transplantation (B6 ${\rightarrow}$ BALB.B GVHD). Transplantation-induced GVHD was confirmed by the presence of the appropriate compositional changes in the T cell compartments and innate immune cells in the blood and the systemic secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Using this B6 ${\rightarrow}$ BALB.B GVHD model, we showed that the production of IFN-${\gamma}$ and IL-17 by CD4 T cells preceded that by CD8 T cells in the spleen, mesenteric lymph node, liver, and lung in the BALB.B GVHD host, and Th1 differentiation predated Th17 differentiation in all organs during GVHD progression. Such changes in cytokine production were based on changes in cytokine gene expression by the T cells at different time points during GVHD development. These results demonstrate that both IFN-${\gamma}$ and IL-17 are produced by CD4 and CD8 T cells but with different kinetics during GVHD progression.

  • 침출수의 pH가 녹차 침출액 성분에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 녹차의 색은 pH의 증가에 따라 Hunter b값, chroma값 및 TCD값이 증가하였으며 총 아미노산 함량은 침출수의 pH에 크게 영향을 받지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 총 카테킨 함량은 pH 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 및 7.0으로 추출하였을 경우 각각 32.28, 31.84, 31.14 및 14.70 mg/g으로 pH 7.0 침출수에서 급격하게 감소하였고, 4종류 카테킨 중 EGCg와 EGC가 pH의 영향을 가장 많이 받음을 알 수 있었다. 카페인 함량은 pH 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 및 7.0으로 추출하였을 경우 각각 15.7, 16.9, 18.0 및 19.2mg/g으로 pH가 증가함에 따라 더 많이 추출됨을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 녹차 고유의 색을 유지하고 녹차에 함유 되어 있는 기능성 성분을 효율적으로 침출하기 위해서는 침출수의 pH를 낮게 유지하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단되었다.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of manipulation on the velocity of cerebral blood flow and level of pain in cervicogeinc headache patients. The velocity of cerebral blood flow of 30 cervicogeinc headache patients(male=15, female=15, age=$24.00{\pm}3.60$) and 33 normal subjects(male=15, female=18, age=$23.27{\pm}3.00$) was compared. The 30 cervicogeinc headache patients were divided into suboccipitalis relaxation group, cervical manipulation group, and placebo group, and each were given different interventions. The velocity of cerebral blood flow and pain level was measured before intervention, and 1, 2, 3 weeks after intervention. The velocity of cerebral blood flow was measured with the Transcranial Doppler(TCD), and pain level was measured with visual analog scale(VAS). Blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery in cervicogeinc headache patients was slower than those in healthy subjects. Physical therapy intervention did not have significant effect on velocity of cerebral blood flow, but slowly decreased at intervention for pain level increased. The suboccipitalis relaxation group and cervical manipulation group showed significant effect in decreasing pain level compared to the placebo group(p<.05). Directly applied manipulation therapy in the neck area not only has effect on joint of cervical and soft tissue but also on blood vessels and nerves which pass the neck area, and because of those results of manual therapy seems to help recovery.

  • We have developed 10 μmol/mol nitrogen and oxygen certified reference materials (CRMs) in helium, as a SI-traceable gas standard for a quantifying of impurities in pure gases for the first time in Korea. The standard gas mixtures of nitrogen and oxygen were prepared in 5000 μmol/mol and sequentially were diluted to 250 μmol/mol and 10 μmol/mol according to the gravimetric preparation. In each dilution step, two cylinders of CRMs were prepared. The verification of internal consistency among the prepared gas mixtures was performed by using GC-TCD. The amount fractions and those expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of nitrogen and oxygen in the standard gas mixtures were (10.12 ± 0.08) μmol/mol and (10.18 ± 0.08) μmol/mol for nitrogen, and (9.88 ± 0.06) μmol/mol and (9.94 ± 0.06) μmol/mol for oxygen, respectively. We have conducted a purity assessment of two commercial helium gases using developed CRMs. As the results of the purity assessment, nitrogen and oxygen were detected by (1.66 ± 0.03) μmol/mol and (0.31 ± 0.02) μmol/mol, respectively, as the impurities in one of the pure helium.
