Background: Neck pain is a common problem in the general population and second only to low back pain in musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this study is to compare three different types of exercise training in patients with chronic neck pain. Methods: This study was conducted on 45 patients with neck pain. Patients were divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (conventional treatment), Group 2 (conventional treatment plus deep cervical flexor training), and Group 3 (conventional treatment plus stabilization of the neck and core region). The exercise programs were applied for four weeks, three days a week. The demographic data, pain intensity (verbal numeric pain scale), posture (Reedco's posture scale), cervical range of motion ([ROM] goniometer), and disability (Neck Disability Index [NDI]) were evaluated. Results: In all groups, a significant improvement was found in terms of pain, posture, ROM, and NDI values in all groups (P < 0.001). Between the groups, analyses showed that the pain and posture improved more in Group 3, while the ROM and NDI improved more in Group 2. Conclusions: In addition to conventional treatment, applying core stabilization exercises or deep cervical flexor muscle training to patients with neck pain may be more effective in reducing pain and disability and increasing ROM than conventional treatment alone.

Background: A diabetic foot is the most common cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations (LEA). The study seeks to assess the risk factors of amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Methods: The study was conducted on 351 patients with DFUs from January 2010 to December 2018. Their demographic characteristics, disease history, laboratory data, ankle-brachial index, Wagner classification, osteomyelitis, sarcopenia index, and ulcer sizes were considered as variables to predict outcome. A chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to test the relationship of the data gathered. Additionally, the subjects were divided into two groups based on their amputation surgery. Results: Out of the 351 subjects, 170 required LEA. The mean age of the subjects was 61 years and the mean duration of diabetes was 15 years; there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of these averages. Osteomyelitis (hazard ratio [HR], 6.164; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.561-10.671), lesion on percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (HR, 2.494; 95% CI, 1.087-5.721), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.981-0.999), ulcer size (HR, 1.247; 95% CI, 1.107-1.405), and forefoot ulcer location (HR, 2.475; 95% CI, 0.224-0.73) were associated with risk of amputation. Conclusion: Osteomyelitis, peripheral artery disease, chronic kidney disease, ulcer size, and forefoot ulcer location were risk factors for amputation in diabetic foot patients. Further investigation would contribute to the establishment of a diabetic foot risk stratification system for Koreans, allowing for optimal individualized treatment.

제7차 교육 과정의 7학년 과학교과서에서 화학영역의 용어를 분석하고 한자 화학용어에 대해 한문 선택반과 비한문 선택반 학생들의 난이도와 이해도를 분석하였다. 7학년 과학교과서에서 한자용어의 비율은 6차 교육 과정에 비하여 약간 줄어들었으나 여전히 70%가 넘게 높았다. 학생들은 추상적인 개념어를 주로 어려워했으며, 전문용어를 비전문 용어보다 어렵게 생각하고 구체어거나 일상적으로 많이 사용하는 용어를 쉽게 생각하였다. 학생들의 한자용어에 대한 이해도의 경향은 난이도와 대부분 일치하였다. 한자화학용어에 대한 이해도는 한문 선택반 학생들이 높았으며, 쉽게 전환된 화학용어에 대해 비교군의 차이가 없었고 모두 한자 화학용어에 대한 이해도보다 크게 향상되었다. 따라서 한자용어를 한글로 전환하여 가능한 쉽고 익숙한 한글 위주의 국 한 혼용의 용어로 교과서가 쓰인다면 과학교과에 대한 이해도가 향상되리라고 생각된다.

Spatial data processing often poses challenges due to the unique characteristics of spatial data and this becomes more complex in spatial big data processing. Some tools have been developed and provided to users; however, they are not common for a regular user. This paper presents a benchmark test between two notable tools of spatial big data processing: GIS Tools for Hadoop and SpatialHadoop. At the same time, a MapReduce application is introduced to be used as a baseline to evaluate the effectiveness of two tools and to derive the impact of number of maps/reduces on the performance. By using these tools and New York taxi trajectory data, we perform a spatial data processing related to filtering the drop-off locations within Manhattan area. Thereby, the performance of these tools is observed with respect to increasing of data size and changing number of worker nodes. The results of this study are as follows 1) GIS Tools for Hadoop automatically creates a Quadtree index in each spatial processing. Therefore, the performance is improved significantly. However, users should be familiar with Java to handle this tool conveniently. 2) SpatialHadoop does not automatically create a spatial index for the data. As a result, its performance is much lower than GIS Tool for Hadoop on a same spatial processing. However, SpatialHadoop achieved the best result in terms of performing a range query. 3) The performance of our MapReduce application has increased four times after changing the number of reduces from 1 to 12.

Background Fellowship training is becoming more popular in plastic surgery, with over half of residents pursuing advanced training. Here, we investigate how clinical and research fellowship training impacts career trajectory and scholastic achievement in academic plastic surgery. Methods Plastic surgery faculty members, from programs recognized by the American Council of Academic Plastic Surgeons, were identified using institutional Web sites. Data extracted included faculty demographics, training history, academic positions, and research productivity. Continuous and categorical variables were compared using t-tests and chi-square, respectively. Results In total, 949 faculty members were included, with 657 (69%) having completed fellowship training. Integrated program residents were more likely to complete a fellowship when compared with independent residents (p < 0.0001). Fellowship trained faculty were more likely to have graduated from a higher ranked residency program, in terms of both overall and research reputation (p = 0.005 and p = 0.016, respectively). When controlling for years in practice, there was no difference found in number of publications, Hirsch index (h-index), or National Institutes of Health funding between faculty between the two cohorts (p > 0.05). In a subanalysis comparing hand, craniofacial, microsurgery, and research fellowships, those who completed a research fellowship had higher h-indices and were more likely to reach full professor status (p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). Fellowship training had no effect on being promoted to Chief/Chair of departments (p = 0.16). Conclusion Fellowship training is common among academic plastic surgeons. In this study, both clinical and research fellowships were associated with various aspects of academic success. However, fellowship training alone did not affect attainment of leadership positions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Inline-skating exercise on the static balance. Total 10 subjects with common were recruited from university for student in Kwangyang, and the Inline-skating exercise was conducted 3times at a week during 2 weeks. Balance test was measured by using Good Balance with overall index, NSEO(normal standing when eye open), NSEC(normal standing when eye close), OLREO(one leg right standing when eye open), OLREC(one leg right standing when eye close), OLLEO(one leg left standing when eye open), OLLEC(one leg left standing There was statistically significant difference of the balance ability of the left-right only between the before and the after exercise in the case of NSEO position. however, the statistically difference was not found in terms of the Mean X speed, Mean Y speed, Velocity moment between the before and the after exercise in the case of NSEC position. There was statistically significant difference of the balance ability of the Mean X speed, Mean Y speed between the before and the after exercise in the case of OLLEO and OLLEC position, however, the statistically difference was not found in terms of the Velocity moment between the before and the after exercise in this case. There was statistically significant difference of the balance ability of all the terms between the before and the after exercise in the case of OLREO. however, the statistically difference was not found in terms of the Mean Y speed only between the before and the after exercise in the case of OLREC. In this case, the statistically difference was found in terms of Velocity moment between the before and the after exercise. This study showed that Inline-skating exercise was effected on the improvement of the balance ability in normal peoples.

This investigation evaluated patients who received Steri-Oss implants from the Dental Hospital of Chosun University during the period from March 1989 to August 1997. 346 fixtures of 127 patients were included in this study. The results were as follows ; 1.The follow-up period was defined as the period between the surgical placement of the implants and the last follow-up examination. The mean follow-up period was $2.17{\pm}1.21$ years. 2.The period between fixture installation and second surgery was $0.71{\pm}0.44$ years in the maxilla and $0.46{\pm}0.21$ years in the mandible. 3.The number of fixtures which were installed in the upper jaw(112) was less than that in the lower jaw(234) and in the posterior region(260) was more than in the anterior region(86). 4.The length of fixture which was most frequently used was 12 mm and least was 8mm. Screw implants were installed more than cylindrical implants. 3.8mm implant was the most common implans, followed by 4.5mm and 3.25mm. 5.The number of augmentation cases was more than that of non-augmentation cases and the rate of augmentation cases in the maxilla was more than that in the mandible. 6.Implant restorations for partial edentulos patients(94cases) were more than single- tooth implant restorations(33cases) or implant restorations for complete edentulos patients(10cases). 7.Free-standing prostheses for partially edentulous patients were more commom than any other type of connection between implants and natural teeth. 8.Plaque Index($0.95{\pm}0.74$) and Gingival Index($0.31{\pm}0.52$) were very similar around the natural teeth and reflected an acceptable level of plaque and gingivitis control. Mean value for keratinized mucosa index($1.93{\pm}1.20$) remained fairly constant around level 2(1-2 mm keratinized epithelium). 9.Patients were generally satisfied with implant in terms of comfort, function, speech and esthetics. 10.There was not a statistically significant differences in overall survial rate between implants placed in the maxilla (91.5%) and those placed in the mandible (93.8%). Fourteen implants lost before the prosthetic rehabilitation and eleven implants lost following variable periods in function after the prosthetic phase of the treatment. 11.Cause of implant failures was exfoliation or removal of fixture due to non-osseointegration before the prosthetic rehabilitation or due to fracture of fixture, masticatory pain after the prosthetic rehabilitation. 12.The survival rate of Steri-Oss implants using the Kaplan-Meier statistical analysis was 93.8% at 2 year and 86.6% at 5 year, In all cases, implant losses occured predominantly in the healing period. There was a steep decline in the rate of implant loss after the first year. 13.The survival rate of Steri-Oss implants in the anterior region was 94.8% at 2 year and 94.8% at 5 year and that in the posterior region was 92.8% at 2 year and 75.9% at 5 year. In conclusion, this study revealed a number of parameters and guidelines for achieving an optimal success rate in osseointegration.

기후 변화로 인하여 해수면은 상승 추세에 있으며, 이로 인해 해안가 주변 저지대는 물에 잠길 위험에 처해있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위성 고도계 자료(Topex/Poseidon, Jason-1/2/3) 및 Southern Oscillation Index(SOI) /Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) 자료를 이용하여 해수면 높이 변화와 기후 지수간의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 시간 기반의 함수를 주파수 기반 함수 형태로 변환시킨다면 각 자료가 가지고 있는 고유 주기를 분석할 수 있다. 푸리에 변환과 웨이블릿 변환은 대표적인 주기 분석 방법이다. 푸리에 변환은 주기에 대한 정보만 획득 가능하지만, 웨이블릿 변환은 주기 및 시간 정보 둘 다 획득할 수 있다. 웨이블릿 변환은 각 자료에 대한 주기를 찾을 수 있으며, 교차 웨이블릿 변환과 웨이블릿 긴밀도는 두 자료에 대한 공통 주기나 상관 관계 및 위상을 찾을 수 있다. 교차 웨이블릿 변환 결과 해수면 높이 및 두 기후 지수(SOI, PDO)의 1년 주기에서 강한 출력이 확인되었으며, 해수면 높이와 PDO는 역위상 관계를 보였다. 웨이블릿 긴밀도 분석에서는 교차 웨이블릿 변환에서 나타나지 않았던 1년 미만의 단주기 및 장주기에서의 상관관계가 높은 구간을 찾을 수 있었다. 웨이블릿 분석은 각 자료의 주기를 찾을 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 두 시계열 자료가 가지고 있는 주기 및 위상관계를 찾을 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 웨이블릿 분석을 통해 기후 자료가 가지는 고유의 주기를 분석하는 데 사용될 수 있을 것이며 시계열 자료 분석에서 찾기 어려운 해양의 다양한 현상을 모니터링하는데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
