In case of chopper control is used for the d.c motor In the electric vehicle(EV) in general step down chopper is used for the driving and the step-up chopper is used for the regeneration. Bilateral variable ratio chopper system(BVRCS) formed by parallel combination of upper two chopper methods step-down, step-up and step-up/down chopper operations by duty cycle, circuit element and driving condition. In this paper, BVRCS is proposed for the simulated and experimented control of d.c motor in the EV. By the result of simulation BVRCS represents same driving power compared to the step-down and excellent breaking power compared to the step-up chopper system because of the greater motor current.

There are many procedures which treat pulmonary tuberculosis. Pneumoperitoneum of those which was begun by Banyai in 1934 is considered effective collapse therapy economically and socially in Korea. The author had studied 30 patients receiving pneumoperitoneum and/or chemotherapy who were moderatedly advanced pulmonary tuberculosis with positive sputum to AFB stain between Apt. 1, 1976 and Oct. 1, 1976. An attempt is to clarify the effects of pneumoperitoneum with chemotherapy [A group: 20 patients] in contrast with chemotherapy alone [B group: 10 patients] for 6 months. The results obtained were as follows: 1] All both groups showed the diminished pulmonary cavity size, but the effect of A group is prominent as 74% rather than 39% of B group. 2] Sputum conversion ratio is 55% in A group, and 20% in B group. 3] In Korea, the moderate amount of air is 1500cc in men, 1000cc in women. 4] Although pneumoperitoneum is in old hands, it is a relatively safe procedure, well tolerated, free from serious complications. 5] The advantages of pneumoperitoneum are evident in the treatment of bilateral lesion, with or without cavity, not too far advanced.

Odontogenic keratocyst is a central destructive lesion of the jaws characterized by a thin, fragile layer of orthokeratinizing or parakeratinizing stratified squamous epithelium. Correlation between the histologic type and the recurrence ratio remains a subject of controversy, and multiple cysts are known to be associated with the nevoid basal cell syndrome. We experienced a case of multiple odontogenic keratocyst in a 25 year-old male patient involving bilateral mandible and maxilla. The cystic mass of the right maxilla was removed by Caldwell-Luc's approach and the right mandibular mass was removed by intraoral approach but the teeth that were impacted in the mandibular bone were remained in order to prevent an iatrogenic fracture.

The deformities of the auricle is rare and classified roughly into two categories as "Hyperplasia and Hypoplasia". Microtia occurs about once in every 6000 births and is twice as frequent in males as in females and the unilateral to bilateral ratio is roughly 8 : 1. Significant malformation of the auricle frequently involves the external auditory canal and the contents of the middle ear. Recently, the authors experienced a case of hypoplasia of the superior third of the right auricle of 24 year old male, with neither hearing impairment nor any other associated defect, who was surgically corrected by rotation flaps through post-auricular incision.

본 논문은 EBME(Extended Bilateral Motion Estimation) 알고리듬에서 움직임 벡터들의 방향과 크기를 고려한 알고리듬을 제안하였다. EBME는 높은 연산량을 요구하기 때문에 프레임 내의 x, y방향 각각의 평균 움직임 벡터크기를 이용하여 동적 프레임과 정적프레임을 판단하고, EBME 수행여부를 결정하여 연산량을 줄인다. 또한 동일한 움직임 벡터들의 방향과 크기를 비교하여 MVS(Motion Vector Smoothing)단계 수행여부를 판단함으로써 연산량을 줄인다. 제안하는 알고리듬을 적용한 실험 결과 기존의 EBME 알고리듬에 비해 수행시간은 단축되었으나 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)은 향상 되었다.

We have observed 165 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax from Aug. 1978 to May. 1985 at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, School of Medicine, Keimyung University. The ratio of male to female cases were 8.2:1 in male predominance, and the incidence was highest in the adolescence between 21 to 30 year of age. There were 85 patients of primary spontaneous pneumothorax and 80 patients of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. The etiologic factors of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax were tuberculous origin in 50 cases, chronic bronchitis with emphysematous bullae or blebs in 17 cases, asthma in 10 cases and lung cancer in 3 cases. Closed thoracotomy was performed for reexpansion of collapsed lung in 153 cases, bed rest in 3 cases, needle aspiration in 5 cases and open thoracotomy in 14 cases. Closed thoracotomy was the main therapeutic approach of choice in the great majority of spontaneous pneumothorax with recurrence rate of 21.6%. However, open thoracotomy was undertaken in patients with continuous air leakage, recurrent episodes, bilateral pneumothorax and large visible apical blebs or bullae.

Purpose: A rib fracture secondary to blunt thoracic trauma continues to be an important injury with significant complications. Unfortunately, there are no definite treatment guidelines for severe multiple rib fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the result of early operative stabilization and to find the risk factors of surgical fixation in patients with bilateral multiple rib fractures or flail segments. Methods: From December 2005 to December 2008, the medical records of all patients who underwent operative stabilization of ribs for severe multiple rib fractures were reviewed. We investigated patients' demographics, preoperative comorbidities, underlying lung disease, chest trauma, other associated injuries, number of surgical rib fixation, combined operations, perioperative ventilator support, and postoperative complications to find the factors affecting the mortality after surgical treatment. Results: The mean age of the 96 patients who underwent surgical stabilization for bilateral multiple rib fractures or flail segments was 56.7 years (range: 22 to 82 years), and the male-to-female ratio was 3.6:1. Among the 96 patients, 16 patients (16.7%) underwent reoperation under general or epidural anesthesia due to remaining fracture with severe displacement. The surgical mortality of severe multiple rib fractures was 8.3% (8/96), 7 of those 8 patients (87.5%) dying from acute respiratory distress syndrome or sepsis. And the other one patient expired from acute myocardial infarction. The risk factors affecting mortality were liver cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, concomitant severe head or abdominal injuries, perioperative ventilator care, postoperative bleeding or pneumonia, and tracheostomy. However, age, number of fractured ribs, lung parenchymal injury, pulmonary contusion and combined operations were not significantly related to mortality. Conclusion: In the present study, surgical fixation of ribs could be carried out as a first-line therapeutic option for bilateral rib fractures or flail segments without significant complications if the risk factors associated with mortality were carefully considered. Furthermore, with a view of restoring pulmonary function, as well as chest wall configuration, early operative stabilization of the ribs is more helpful than conventional treatment for patients with severe multiple rib fractures.

Midfacial hypoplasia in patients with clefts of the lip and palate is considered to be the result of congenital dysmorphogenesis. And cleft lip and palate developes facial deformity, jaw abnormality, speech problem, which is most frequent hereditary deformity in maxillofacial region. So cleft lip and palate is characterized by midface deformity which shaws maxillary anterior nasal septal deviation and deformity. Our study describes congenital correlates of midfacial hypoplasia by examining the displacement of a normal complement of parts, a triangular tissue deficiency low on the lip border on the columellar side, and a linear deficiency and displacement in the line of the bilateral cleft lip. 15 patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate were taken impression before operation, but the patient who had other abnormalities and complications were excluded. Average age is 3.4 months and they were classified into both complete, both incomplete and complete & incomplete group. The obtained results were as follows 1. There were no differences on intercanthal width and canthal width between each of the groups. 2. Both complete group had longer lateral ala length than both incomplete group, but there were no differences between both complete group and complete side of com. & incom. group and both incomplete group and incomplete side of com. & incom. group. 3. Columella length was greater in both incomplete group than in both complete group, but there was no difference between both complete group and complete side of com. & incom. group and both incomplete group and incomplete side of com. & incom. group. 4. Both complete group had longer ala width & ala base width than both incomplete group had. But there were no differences between both complete group and complete side of com. & incom. group and both incomplete group and incomplete side of com. & incom. group. 5. There were no differences between each of the groups on upper lip length, but nose/mouth width ratio was greater in both complete group than in both incomplete group. 6. Pronasale(pm), subnasle(sn), la~rale superioris(ls), stomion(sto) points were located around the central vertical line of face but deviated to incomplete side in com. & incom. group. 7. Nasal tip protrusion was greater in both incomplete group and com. & incom. group than both complete group, but there was no difference between both incomplete group and com. & incom. group.
