We report a case of infantile fibrosarcoma in an 8-month-old boy manifested as a right-sided lower leg mass. Repeated local recurrence and distant metastasis were noted during the following three-year period. Whole body fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan revealed an asymptomatic metastasis involving the fourth lumbar vertebrae. The patient received chemotherapy (VAC regimen) with Cyberknife$^{(R)}$ stereotactic hypofractionated radiotherapy (26 Gy; 4 fractions). This treatment reduced tumor size by 23% without acute radiation toxicity even after 33 months. This case suggests that combining chemotherapy and this form of radiotherapy may be safe and effective against childhood spinal metastasis.

Various preclinical and clinical trials have been conducted the efficacy of celastrol. In data presented in the current manuscript is the first trial to inhibit Helicobacter pylori with celastrol. In this study, the quantitative change of various H. pylori proteins including CagA and VacA by the anti-bacterial effect of celastrol was determined. The anti-H. pylori effects of celastrol was investigated by performing 2-dimensional electrophoresis and additional supporting experiments. After 2-dimensional electrophoresis analysis, spot intensities were analyzed and then each spot was identified using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) or peptide sequencing using Finnigan LCQ ion trap mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS). The results show that celastrol has multiple effects on protein expression in H. pylori.

In this study, the outgassing effects of selected vacuum materials on the vacuum characteristics were simulated by the $VacSim^{Multi}$ simulation tool. This investigation examined the feasibility of reliably simulating the outgassing characteristics of common vacuum chamber materials (aluminum, copper, stainless steel, nickel plated steel, Viton A). The optimum design factors for these vacuum systems were suggested based on the simulation results. The baking-out effects of the modeled systems and materials on the performance of the vacuum system were also analyzed. The simulation predicted that the overall outgassing effect was more significant in the turbomolecular pump system than in the diffusion pump system and that the utilization of a booster pump has a greater effect on the evacuation time than on the ultimate pressure.

Green car such as a hybrid electrical vehicle and fuel cell vehicle is developed as a commercial target. UN/ECE/WP29 is developing GTR of HFCV and establishing the regulation and standard of electrical safety by ELSA. The regulation and standard about Electrical safety of vehicle are prescribed in ISO, UN/ECE, FMVSS, Japanese Attachment and so on, in case of insulation resistance is referred to keep more than 100/Vdc, 500/Vac. However, accurate method to measure insulation resistance agreeable to structure of vehicle does not exist now, it is actually that correctness of measurement drops according to the feature of battery and fuel cell stack. In this paper, the method to measure insulation resistance for protection against electrical shock by direct contact or indirect contact in Green Car will be indicated by making a comparison between the insulation measurement in standard of electrical safety and the experiment results for HEV and HFCV.

Relaxation spectra of the linear dielectric constants $\varepsilon=\varepsilon'-j{\varepsilon}"$ have been measured as functions of temperature and frequency for alternating copolymers of vinylidene cyanide (VDCN/VAc, VDCN/VPr, VDCN/VBz and VDCN/St) It is found that the linear dielectric constants e show characteristics of the temperature dependence that the real part have a large peak related to the glass transition point(Tg), and of the frequency dependence that the real port increases with decreasing frequency and the imaginary part increases largely in low frequency range. These phenomena mean Debye-type relaxation due to the micro-Brownian moi ions of non-crystalline seqments.

Effect of conductance factors on performance of vacuum system was simulated for optimum design of vacuum system. In this investigation, the feasibility of modeling mechanism for VacSim$^{Multi}$ simulator was proposed. Application specific design of vacuum system is required to meet the particular process conditions for various industrial implementations of vacuum equipments. Geometry and length, diameter of exhaust pipeline were modeled as simulation modeling variables for conductance effects. Series vacuum system was modeled and simulated with varied dimensions and structures of exhaust pipeline. Variation of pipeline diameter showed the more significant effects on vacuum characteristics than that of pipeline length variations. It was also observed that the aperture structure of pipeline had the superior vacuum characteristics among the modeled systems.

Recently, with the development of advanced thin film devices comes the need for constant high quality vacuum as the deposition pressure is more demanding. It is for this reason our research seeks to understand how the variable design factors are employed in such vacuum systems. In this study, the effects of design factor applications on the vacuum characteristics were simulated to obtain the optimum design modeling of variable models on an ultra high vacuum system. The commercial vacuum system simulator, $VacSim^{(multi)}$, was used in our investigation. The reliability of the employed simulator was verified by the simulation of the commercially available models of ultra high vacuum system. Simulated vacuum characteristics of the proposed modeling aligned with the observed experimental behavior of real systems. Simulated behaviors showed the optimum design models for the ideal conditions to achieve optimal pressure, pumping speed, and compression ratio in these systems.

In this paper, a novel multilevel inverter using DC-Link voltage combination is presented to reduce the harmonics of output voltage without the output filter inductor. The proposed multilevel inverter can generate 27-level output voltage. It employs three H-bridge cells which consist of single phase full-bridge inverter module. As well as, it can make continuous output voltage level employing the properly three DC-Link voltage ratio. The validity of the proposed inverter is verified through the experimental result using a prototype which can generate a 110[Vac], 60[Hz] output voltage from 12[Vdc], 36[vdc], and 108[Vdc] input voltages
