Purpose - It has been argued that the regulations restricting entry and opening hours of General Super Markets and Super Super Markets have not been as effective as expected. In contrast, the win-win item scheme that appeared recently has the advantage that it could raise the effectiveness of the system in that win-win items are in principle resigned on the basis of bilateral agreements. This study analyzes the win-win item agreement made between Homeplus at Hap-jung and small traditional markets to examine the practical effectiveness of the win-win item scheme. While existing literature studying the regulatory effects have concentrated on the restrictions around store entry or opening hours of large retailers, it can be said that there have been few empirical studies on the effect of win-win items agreement with large retailers. Research design, data, and methodology - Homeplus at Hap-jung made a win-win items agreement with nearby small traditional market traders in 2013. In accordance with this voluntary agreement, Homeplus started by limiting its sales to 15 win-win items. The survey was conducted through one-on-one interviews, April 14 to May 2, 2014, by a professional public opinion research agency. The interviews were targeted at small business retailers in the nearby traditional market. We divided the traditional markets near Homeplus at Hap-jung where the win-win item agreement was achieved into two groups, win-win item agreement markets and non win-win item agreement markets, to compare the performance difference between the two groups. Results - To determine the change in sales of the 15 win-win items, we examined the performance difference between the two groups using two criteria (compared with similar items, and compared to sales volume a year ago). The results show that the individual sales of win-win items in the win-win item agreement markets are more likely to increase than in the non win-win item agreement markets. Total sales volume of individual stores in the agreement markets also showed a more significant increase compared to a year ago than those in non win-win item agreement markets. Conclusions - Contrary to the existing retail regulations that have one-sided and uniform characteristics, it can be pointed out that the win-win item scheme has the effect of increasing the success of the system itself because it is done on the basis of mutual agreement between General Super Markets and traditional markets. The empirical results of this study can be said to support this conjecture. For the successful settlement of a win-win items agreement, the following points should be reviewed. First, it requires a great effort from the selection process of win-win items in order to improve the effectiveness of the agreement. Second, the existing General Super Markets customers should be introduced to the traditional markets or small shops to increase the sales of win-win items. Therefore, voluntary effort is essentially required from the traditional markets to engage customers.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to analyze the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation lower extremity pattern on muscular strength and flexibility in an aquatic environment. Methods: Ten members of the experimental group and 10 members of the control group were randomly selected from 20 college students who are in their 20s. Bilateral symmetry pattern among proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation lower extremity patterns was applied in an aquatic environment in the experimental group three times per week for a period of six weeks, and a set consisted of 10 times, which was repeated 10 times. On the other hand, subjects in the control group did not receive any treatment while maintaining daily life. Muscular strength was measured using a dynamometer and electromyogram system for maximum voluntary isometric contraction of hip flexor, hip extensor, knee flexor, and knee extensor. Cervical flexibility was measured using cervical range of motion instrument for cervical flexion, rotation, and lateral flexion. Lumbar flexibility was measured using back range of motion instrument II for lumbar flexion. Results: For the experimental group, significance was observed for hip flexor, extensor, knee flexor, extensor, cervical flexion, rotation, lateral flexion, and lumbar flexion. For the control group, no significance was observed for any other variables except for cervical flexion. As a result of observation of difference between the two groups, relatively high significance was observed in the experimental group, compared with the control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation lower extremity pattern had a positive effect on muscular strength and flexibility in an aquatic environment.

Introduction: The characteristics of oral tongue squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and the treatment results were reviewed to determine the appropriate treatment strategies. Materials and Methods: The medical records of 140 patients diagnosed and treated for oral tongue SCC at Yonsei University Health System from January 1995 to December 2004 were reviewed. For statistic analysis, the survival rate was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method with SPSS version 12.0, and the difference in survival rates was evaluated using a log-rank test. Results: The mean age of the patients with oral tongue SCC patients was 55 (19-85 years old). According to the T, N and pathologic stage, the patients were distributed from a higher to a lower incidence of cases, as follows: T2 (46.4%), T1 (37.9%), T4 (8.5%), and T3 (7.1%); N0 (65%), N1 (20.7%), N2 (13.6%), and N3 (0.7%); and stage I (31.4%), stage II(25.7%), stage IV (22.2%), and stage III (20.7%). Local and regional recurrence and distant metastasis was present in 13.6%, 5% and 4.2% of patients, respectively. The five-year survival rate was 72.2%, and the prognostic factors for oral tongue SCC included neck metastasis, pathologic stage of the disease, cell differentiation, treatment modality, neck dissection as part of the treatment plan, and neck node recurrence. Discussion: It is suggested that ipsilateral neck dissection or bilateral neck dissection should be selected as a treatment of tongue SCC patients with advanced stage.

PURPOSE: The imbalance of pretibial muscles can be a factor contributing to the development of pes planus. However, no study has yet compared the muscle activity of the tibials anterior (TA) to that of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL). The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are differences in the electromyographic (EMG) TA and EDL amplitude indexes (AIs) between normal and pes planus feet. METHODS: A total of 14 subjects with normal feet and 15 subjects with bilateral pes planus participated in this study. TA and EDL muscle activities were measured using a wireless EMG system and the angles of ankle dorsiflexion and eversion of the subtalar joint were measured using a universal goniometer during active ankle dorsiflexion in the prone position. AI was calculated as follows: $\text{amplitude_{TA}-amplitude_{EDL}/(amplitude_{TA}+amplitude_{EDL})}/2{\times}100$. RESULTS: The AIs of the TA and EDL were significantly lower in pes planus feet than in normal feet (p<.05). The angle of subtalar eversion was significantly greater in pes planus feet than in normal feet during active ankle dorsiflexon (p<.05). However, there was no significant difference in the angle of ankle dorsiflexion between normal feet and pes planus feet (p>.05). CONCLUSION: This study showed that TA muscle activation was lower in pes planus feet than in normal feet, resulting from greater eversion range of motion during active ankle dorsiflexion. We suggest that the imbalance of ankle dorsiflexors must be considered in pes planus management.

The experimental study for extracorporeal preservation of the heart-lung preparation by autoperfusion system was performed in 10 dogs. Under intravenous Pentothal endotracheal anesthesia bilateral thoracotomies were performed. A 24F cannula connected to a plastic reservoir bag located 100 cm above the level of the heart was introduced into the aortic arch. Left subclavian, innominate artery, and descending aorta were ligated and divided. Both vena cavae were ligated and divided after the bag was half filled with blood. A 24F catheter inserted into right atrium and connected to the plastic bag in order to keep constant the preload. The thoracic trachea was intubated and the lungs were ventilated. The heart-lung preparations were removed en bloc and floated in a $34^{\circ}C$ bath of Hartmann solution. The preparations were observed for from 2 hours to 8 hours, with the average of 5.2 hours. Hemodynamic and hematologic variables were measured during preharvest and autoperfusion. The pH revealed severe respiratory alkalosis due to very low $PaCO_2$ during autoperfusion ; $PaO_2$ remained constant for 130-140 mmHg; $A-aDO_2$ increased markedly. The static inspiratory pressure [SIP] at late autoperfusion [6hr] increased significantly as compared with at early autoperfusion [2hr]. There was no difference between white blood cell counts from right atrium and those of left atrium. Heart rates remained constant for 110-120/min; cardiac outputs maintained to approximately 0.6L/min; mean aortic pressures, 75 mmHg; mean pulmonary arterial pressures, 15-18 mmHg; mean right atrial pressures, 9-13 mmHg; mean left atrial pressures, 12 mmHg lower than those of right atrium. Serum Na maintained with normal range during autoperfusion; K increased significantly; Ca decreased progressively. Hemoglobin and hematocrit decreased significantly during autoperfusion. The study demonstrated that stable hemodynamics could be maintained throughout the experiment and the preparation of the lung seemed to be inadequate, especially after 3-4 hours, such as high $A-aDO_2$, increased SIP, and scattered atelectasis and edema in their gross appearances.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the C-shaped root canal anatomy of mandibular second molars in a Korean population. Materials and Methods: A total of 542 teeth were evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The canal shapes were classified according to a modified version of Melton's method at the level where the pulp chamber floor became discernible. Results: Of the 542 mandibular second molars, 215 (39.8%) had C-shaped canals, 330 (53%) had 3 canals, 17 (3.3%) had 2 canals, 12 (2.2%) had 4 canals, and 8 (1.7%) had 1 canal. The prevalence of C-shaped canals was 47.8% in females and 28.4% in males. Seventy-seven percent of the C-shaped canals showed a bilateral appearance. The prevalence of C-shaped canals showed no difference according to age or tooth position. Most teeth with a C-shaped canal system presented Melton's type II (45.6%) and type III (32.1%) configurations. Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of C-shaped canals in the mandibular second molars of the Korean population studied. CBCT is expected to be useful for endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning of mandibular second molars.

목 적: 방사선치료에서 CT number에 의해 나타나는 조직의 묘사 및 전자밀도는 CT(Computed Tomography)기반의 전산화치료계획 정확성을 보장하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만 체내의 금속 이식물은 CT number의 정확성을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라 조직 묘사에 대한 불확실성을 나타내기 때문에 임상에서는 metal artifact를 감소시킬 수 있는 알고리즘이 개발되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 본원에서 사용하고 있는 GE사의 SMART MAR의 CT number 정확도를 평가하고 방사선치료에서의 유용성에 대해 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 영상평가를 위해 CIRS ED phantom을 이용하여 6개 조직의 rod를 삽입하여 동일한 체적의 ROI를 형성 후 original 영상을 획득하고 의료용 티타늄 rod를 삽입하여 non-SMART MAR 영상과 SMART MAR영상을 획득하여 CT number와 SD값을 비교하였다. Metal artifact로 인해 CT number 변화에 따른 선량변화 확인을 위해 전산화계획시스템 Epclipse를 사용하여 CIRS ED phantom CT 영상에 PTV를 형성하여 original 영상을 획득하고 편측 티타늄 삽입, 양측 티타늄 삽입 영상을 획득하여 non-SMART MAR와 SMART MAR영상에 동일한 치료계획을 수립하여 PTV가 받는 평균처방선량, HI(Homogeneity Index), CI(Conformity Index)를 비교, 분석하였다. 흡수선량 측정은 원통형 아크릴 팬텀과 0.125 cc ionchamber, electrometer를 이용하여 선량변환상수(cCy/nC)를 계산하고 CIRS phantom을 이용하여 편측, 양측 티타늄 rod를 삽입한 영상으로 non-SMART MAR와 SMART MAR 영상을 획득하여 동일한 지점에서의 흡수선량을 측정하여 전산화치료계획상의 point dose와 비교하였다. 결 과: 영상평가 결과 CT number는 non-SMART MAR영상보다 SMART MAR 영상이 original영상에 더 유사한 값이 나왔고 SD값은 SMART MAR영상에서 더 감소되었다. 선량평가 결과 평균처방선량과 HI 및 CI 값은 SMART MAR 영상보다 non-SMART MAR 영상이 original 영상에 더 근접한 결과가 나왔지만 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 흡수선량 측정결과 치료계획상의 point dose와 실제 흡수선량과의 차이가 non-SMART MAR의 영상에서는 각각 2.69, 3.63 %의 차이가 있었지만 SMART MAR영상에서는 0.56, 0.68 %로 감소하였다. 결 론: 금속 이식물을 삽입한 환자의 CT 영상에 SMART MAR를 적용했을 때 CT number 정확성 상승 및 SD 감소로 영상의 질이 향상되므로 종양과 정상조직의 윤곽도 생성 및 선량계산 시 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of the present study was to compare pulsatile type(Twin Pulse Life Support; TPLS) with rotary type hemodialyzer(AK95) in order to reduce the dialysis time and to improve dialysis effect. Three healthy dogs(about 30 kg BW) were used. Experimental renal failure was induced by the ligation of bilateral renal artery. A pair of catheters were implanted in jugular vein for dialysis. Daily investigated parameters included clinical signs such as vomiting, fecal appearance and activity, and also laboratory data such as PCV, TP, BUN and creatinine. Hemodialysis was started above 90 mg/100 ml BUN level and, laboratory data were measured every an hour for 4 hours. Heparin was administered 300 IU/Kg before dialysis and 150 IU/Kg via IV route every 90 minutes during dialysis. Clinical signs after induction renal failure were shown severe vomiting, anorexia, diarrhea, mucous feces, ataxia, dilated pupil and episcleral hyperemia. The average of BUN value decreased hourly $99{\pm}12.1,\;84{\pm}12.2,\;72{\pm}8.0,\;58{\pm}7.1,\;48{\pm}5.2,\;and\;39{\pm}3.2mg/100ml$ by hemodialysis. The average of creatinine value decreased $7.8{\pm}0.61,\;6.4{\pm}0.40,\;5.3{\pm}0.42,\;4.5{\pm}0.23,\;4.0{\pm}0.41,\;and\;3.4{\pm}0.42mg/100ml$ according to hemodialysis an hour. There are not significantly differences BUN, creatinine, PCV and TP values between pulsatile and rotary type hemodialysis. These results suggested that effects of hemodialysis with Pulsatile type(TPLS) are not significantly difference as compared with hemodialysis of rotary type(AK95). Further research is needed in order to estimate the influence of cardiovascular and pulmonary system in hemodialysis of pulsatile type.

[목적] Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI) 검사는 핵의학에서 유방암의 진단을 위해 시행하는 검사이며, 이를 위해 $^{99m}Tc-sestaMIBI$를 정맥주사로 투여한다. 그러나 $^{99m}Tc-sestaMIBI$의 유방 섭취율은 총 투여 선량의 1% 미만으로, 간, 심장 등의 기관 및 근육 조직의 혈류 상태에 의존한다. 이에 본 연구는 체온에 따른 혈류 상태의 변화가 유방 섭취율에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 평가하고자 한다. [대상 및 방법] 2017년 1월부터 2019년 4월까지 본원에 내원한 유방암 환자 중 추적 검사를 2회 이상 시행한 환자 30명을 대상으로 Discovery 750b (Genral Electric Healthcare, USA) 장비를 사용해 검사하였다. 모든 대상자는 $^{99m}Tc-sestaMIBI$ 740 MBq (20 mCi)을 병변이 있는 반대 측 팔에 주사하였다. 첫 번째 검사는 주사 후 60분 뒤 양측 유방을 상하 방향, 내외 사방향으로 촬영하였다. 이후 추적 검사는 체온 조절군 15명과 체온 비조절군 15명으로 분류하였으며, 주사 후 60분 뒤 이전과 동일한 방식으로 유방 촬영하였다. 이때 체온 조절군에서는 주사 후 따뜻한 담요로 체온을 조절하게 하였다. 영상의 평가는 병변의 반대 측 내외 사방향 영상에서 유방 섭취율을 측정 후 비교 분석하였으며, 또한 유방 섭취율의 변화가 영상의 질적인 측면에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하기 위해 리커트 척도를 이용하여 블라인드 영상 평가하였다. [결과] 첫 번째 검사와 비교하였을 때의 유방 섭취율은 체온 조절군에서 평균 0.035cps 상승으로 30.31% 증가하였으며, 비조절군에서 평균 0.003cps 상승으로 0.96% 증가하였다. 체온 조절군의 섭취율 증가 결과값은 통계적으로 유의하였으며(P<0.05), 체온 비조절군에게서는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(P=0.955). 체온 조절군과 비조절군 사이의 섭취율의 P값은 0.01로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 또한 리커트 척도를 이용한 블라인드 영상 평가에서 영상의 질적인 측면으로 유의미한 결과를 얻었다. [결론] 체온 조절군에서의 유방 섭취율이 체온 비조절군에서의 유방 섭취율보다 높은 증가율을 보였다. 이는 주사 후 체온을 상승시켰을 때 말초 혈액 흐름의 증가로 인해 혈류 상태가 원활해져 유방 조직의 섭취율이 증가한 것으로 보인다. 또한 유방 섭취율의 증가는 영상의 질을 향상시켜 판독에 보다 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.
