PET/CT 검사에서 환자의 움직임이나 높은 비방사능에 의해 냉소 인공물(washed-out artifact)이 발생하여 육안적 판독 및 정량평가의 정확성을 감소시킬 가능성이 있다. GE PET/CT 장비의 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘은 영상에 발생한 냉소 인공물을 제거하여 영상을 회복시켜주는 알고리즘이다. 본 연구의 목적은 팬텀 실험을 통해 높은 비방사능에 의해 냉소 인공물이 발생한 영상에 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘을 적용하였을 때 기존의 정량 값으로 회복 가능한 비방사능의 역치 값을 측정하고, 냉소 인공물이 발생한 임상 환자 영상에 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘을 적용하여 보정 전과 후의 영상을 비교 분석하고자 한다. $^{68}Ge$ 실린더 팬텀 영상에 냉소 인공물을 발생시키기 위해 임의의 $^{18}F$ 선원의 비방사능이 20 ~ 20,000 kBq/ml 가 되도록 20 단계로 분주하고 $^{18}F$ 선원의 CT 영상과 PET 영상간에 불일치(mis-registration) 정도가 없을 때, 불일치가 각각 1, 2, 3, 4 cm 일 때의 영상을 획득하였다. 또한 본원에서 $^{18}F-FDG$ Fusion Whole Body PET/CT 검사를 시행한 환자 중 유치 도뇨관 내에 높은 비방사능에 의해 냉소 인공물이 발생한 34명의 환자를 대상으로, CT 영상과 PET 영상간의 불일치 정도(cm), 인공물을 발생시키는 원인이 되는 비방사능의 수치(kBq/ml), 인공물이 발생한 단면 내 근육에서의 $SUV_{mean}$, 인공물이 발생한 단면 내 병변에서의 $SUV_{max}$, 인공물이 발생하지 않은 단면 내 병변에서의 $SUV_{max}$를 측정하였다. 통계는 보정 전과 후의 차이를 비교하기 위해 대응 표본 t 검정을 시행하였다. 팬텀 실험에서는 $^{18}F$ 선원의 비방사능이 커질수록 $^{68}Ge$ 실린더 팬텀의 $SUV_{mean}$가 감소하였다. 불일치 거리가 커질수록 $SUV_{mean}$가 급격히 저하 되었지만 반대로 보정 효과는 더 크게 나타났다. 비방사능 50 kBq/ml 이하에서는 모든 조건에서 육안적으로도 냉소 인공물이 발생하지 않았으며 $SUV_{mean}$에도 차이가 없었다. 불일치가 없을 때와 1 cm 차이가 있을 때는 120 kBq/ml 이하부터 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘을 적용 할 때 기존 $SUV_{mean}$(0.95)와 동일하게 회복 되었고, 2 cm와 3 cm 차이에서는 100 kBq/ml 이하부터, 4 cm 차이에서는 80 kBq/ml 이하부터 기존 $SUV_{mean}$와 동일하게 회복 되었다. 임상 환자 34명의 영상을 분석한 결과, 불일치 평균 거리는 2.02 cm 이었고, 냉소 인공물을 발생시키는 평균 비방사능은 490.15 kBq/ml 이었다. 인공물이 발생한 단면 내 근육의 $SUV_{mean}$와 병변의 $SUV_{max}$는 보정 전 후 각각 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었지만(t=-13.805, p=0.000) (t=-2.851, p=0.012), 인공물이 발생하지 않은 단면 내 병변의 $SUV_{max}$는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(t=-1.173, p=0.250). GE PET/CT 장비의 산란 제한 보정 알고리즘은 임상 검사에서 환자의 심한 움직임뿐만 아니라 높은 비방사능의 미세한 움직임에 의해 발생한 냉소 인공물을 제거하여 영상을 회복해 주는 알고리즘이다. 냉소 인공물이 발생 하였을 때 산란제한 보정 알고리즘 적용 후 그 원인이 되는 비방사능의 수치, CT 영상과 PET 영상의 불일치 거리 등을 감안하여 영상을 분석한다면 냉소 인공물 부위의 재촬영 없이, 육안적 판독 및 정량 값을 더 정확하게 평가 하는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료 된다.

Objectives : This study aimed to identify the factors influencing insufficient physical activity in community-dwelling elderly individuals with dementia. Methods : Data were analyzed using a 2014 Survey of Living Conditions of Elderly Individuals. Metabolic Equivalent Task (MET) hours were calculated using self-reported weekly frequency, duration, and types of physical activities to measure the degree of physical activity. Results : Mean MET hours were $4.03{\pm}8.59$. Factors influencing insufficient physical activity included limitations in activities of daily living (ADL), lower frequency of social group participation and unsatisfactory relationships with friends or community. When demographic factors were adjusted, patients with ADL limitation had 11.2 times higher risks of insufficient physical activities than those without. Conclusions : Community-dwelling elderly with dementia performed low levels of physical activity. Further research is needed to develop strategies to encourage physical activity participation in this population.

Phosphatase activity was measured with other environmental factors in Cheonho reservoir in 1994. It ranged form 95 to 1,685 nM/1/h and was correlated significantly with chlorophyll-a. Such a close relation well matched the fact that over 90% of phosphatase activity was detected in > 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ fraction. The phosphatase activity also correlated negatively with dissolved inorganic phosphate concentration, which implies derepression of phosphatase production by phosphate limitation. Significant correlation was analyzed between phosphatase activity and BOD, which also appeared to be closely correlated with chlorophyll-a. A great percentage of organic materials seems to be generated autochthonously by algae and extracellular enzyme even though allochthonous influence was thought to be stronger in Cheonho reservoir.

The change of plasma renin activity is one of the most important parameters explaining the pathological physiology of the hypertension. The relation between renal renin activity and plasma renin activity has not well been documented since last decades. In an attempt to clarify the relationship a series of experiments have been done in rats. The following results were observed. 1) Renal renin activity of clamped kidney increased after silver clipping and the increments were maintained until four to five weeks of operation. 2) Renal renin activity of the untouched contralateral kidney was vulnerable to be suppressed just after clamping, and the activity disappered almost below the limitation of the radioimmunoassay sensitivity up to four weeks. 3) Plasma lenin activity was changed by the renal renin activity, but the regression coefficient from the two kidney one clip Goldblatt hypertensive rats was different from the sham-operated, or age-matched control rats. 4) Plasma renin activity of all the groups tested has the exponential curve in terms of renal renin activity. These data suggest that the renal renin activity is important to control the plasma renin activity in certain experimental condition, especially in chronic status.

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to examine the degree of joint pain, limitation of daily activities, and frequency of outpatient visits. Methods: This secondary analysis study used the data from the fifth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES). The data about general characteristics, prevalence and treatment of osteoarthritis, limitation of activities of daily living (ADL) and frequency of outpatient visits and hospitalization in 424 osteoarthritis patients over 50 years old were derived from the database. Data were analyzed with complex samples in SPSS ver. 20.0. Results: Among people with knee joint pain, 79.3% reported they had more than 4 out of 10 points of the degree of pain. Meanwhile, 97.3% of people with hip joint pain reported that they had more than 4 out of 10 points of the degree of pain. People reporting 10 out of 10 point of pain were 21.4% of those with knee joint pain and 25% of those with hip joint pain. The mean of the degree of knee joint pain was 6.35, and the mean of the degree of hip joint pain was 6.89 out of 10 points. About 50% of people with osteoarthritis visited an outpatient clinic within the last 2 weeks, and 27% had limitation of ADL. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop an integrated intervention program to improve quality of life in patients with osteoarthritis.

Purpose: This study addressed the relationship between technological innovation activity and management efficiency of Korean automobile firms. We tested the hypothesis of non-liner relationship of innovation activity in relation to management efficiency. Methods: We discussed prior literature in the firm innovation strategy and management efficiency studies to provide better understanding of relationships between technological innovation activity and management efficiency. As a result, we developed develop and tested a model (Inverted-U shaped) capturing the non-linear impact of technological innovation activity. While we used R&D expenditure and patent registration data for measuring firms' innovation activity, management efficiency was evaluated by using DEA(Data Envelopment Analysis). Results: Main findings of our empirical analysis indicated that the relationships between technological innovation activity and management efficiency was inverted U shaped. This implied that the relationship between technological innovation and management efficiency is inverted U-shaped non-linear, with management efficiency increasing up to a point, beyond which higher levels of R&D and patent registration activities led to a decrease in management efficiency. Conclusion: This study empirically assessed the inconclusive findings of previous research in the area of effects of innovation activities in relation to firm performance. The paper also provided theoretical and practical implications for firms who explore efficient strategy to promote the management performance through technological innovation activities. Future research directions with the limitation of the study was discussed.
