최근 ITU-T/VCEG과 ISO/IEC MPEG은 공동으로 차세대 비디오 압축 표준 기술인 High efficient video coding (HEVC)를 제정하고 있다. HEVC는 H.264/AVC 표준 기술과 비교해 보면 매우 향상된 압축 효율을 보여 주고 있으며, 특히 Full HD 이상의 매우 큰 사이즈의 동영상 및 그에 따른 고화질 비디오 서비스를 주요 목표로 하고 있다. 그러나 품질과 압축 효율 향상을 위해 새로운 구조와 압축 도구들이 추가됨으로써 인코더의 연산 복잡도가 매우 증가되어 있으며, 이에 화질의 열화를 최소한으로 유지하면서 계산량을 감소시키는 연구가 필요해 지고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 화면 간 예측 시에 부호화 단위의 분할을 효율적으로 조기 종료하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 현재 코딩 단위 (Coding unit)의 움직임 벡터 정보, 율-왜곡 비용, 그리고 상위 코딩 단위에서의 개별 사이즈에 대한 평균 율-왜곡 비용값을 활용하여 분할을 조기에 중단한다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안된 방법이 기존의 ECU 방법보다 약 10% 정도로 속도 향상이 있으며, HM 참조 소프트웨어와 비교 시 BD-rate 증가는 1.975% 정도로 매우 적게 나타남을 보인다.

Objectives : This study was designed to assess the general distribution, clinical effectiveness of Korean medical treatment on knee pain and the correlation between Korean medical therapy on knee pain and BMI. Methods : This is an observational study. 65 patients admitted to Daejeon Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine with musculoskeletal disorders were observed from July, 2014 to July, 2015. They were analyzed according to sex, age, pain lesion, body mass index(BMI) and treatment efficacy. All patients received a combination of treatments during hospitalization, including acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herbal medicines and physical therapy. A zero to ten numerating rating scale (NRS) assessing pain, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index(WOMAC) index and Range of Motion(ROM) was used before and after treatments. Statistical correlations among assessment measurements were evaluated by examining the paired t-test and the Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results : The average BMI of all patients was $24.03{\pm}2.95kg/m^2$. According to clinical definition of obesity by Korean Society for the Study of Obesity, 33.8% of all patients was within normal weight, 1.5% was underweight, 33.8% was overweight, 24.6% was obesity and 6.2% was morbid obesity. For knee pain patients, NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) decreased from $6.28{\pm}1.63$ to $3.94{\pm}2.03$(p<0.001). WOMAC index decreased from $48.14{\pm}17.63$ to $40.37{\pm}18.28$(p<0.001). But, there were no significant correlations in statistics among BMI, knee pain index and knee pain index improvement. Conclusions : Korean medical combination treatment might be effective in reducing pain and improving functional disorders for patients with knee pain. This study further confirmed the efficacy of Korean medical treatment on knee pain. But, more studies on correlation between knee pain and obesity and development of assessment measurement are needed.

Purpose: To analyze the clinical and radiologic results of the shoulder arthrodesis in brachial plexus injury patients with flail upper extremity. Material and Method: From Aug 1978 to April 2008, 29 shoulders in 29 patients with brachial plexus injury with shoulder fusion, we evaluated 20 shoulders in 20 patients, more than 1 year follow up. The average follow-up period was 6.45years (range: 1year~24years). There were 13 men and 7 women, and the mean age at the time of trauma was 32.0years(2~65 years). The type of injury was a motorcycle accident in 11 patients, in car accident in 5, pedestrian accident in 3, and fall from a height in 1. The lesion of injury was root and trunk in 1 patient, trunk and cord in 1, trunk in 18. Surgery was performed on the whole arm type paralysis in 12 patients, lower arm type paralysis in 8 patients. The preoperative visual analog scale score was 8.7(7~10). When the trapezius and serratus anterior muscle were in function, operation was performed. 18 patients were processed to the additional operation. Gracilis free flap in 6 patients, neurotization in 3, Steindler flexor plasty in 6, and tendon transfer in 3 were performed. Fixation was conducted with cancellous screws in 13 patients, Knoles pins in 5, and cancellous screws and Knoles pins in 2. The position of the arthrodesis at operation was $28.5^{\circ}$($20~45^{\circ}$) in abduction, $30.3^{\circ}$($20~45^{\circ}$) in flexion, and $30.8^{\circ}$($20~40^{\circ}$) in internal rotation. Result: The follow up visual analog scale score was 3.4(0~7). Postoperatively, shoulder spica cast was applied for 15.3weeks(8-20weeks). The median time to bony union was 17.7weeks(9~28weeks). Average range of motion was $32.0^{\circ}$($15~40^{\circ}$) of abduction, $24.0^{\circ}$($10~40^{\circ}$) of flexion, and $18.5^{\circ}$($10~30^{\circ}$)of internal rotation. Conclusion: The shoulder fusion in brachial plexus injury patients is one of the good methods to relieve pain, improve the function and stabilize the flail shoulder joint.

This study investigated gait characteristics, kinematics, and kinetics in the lower extremities between two different shoe conditions (high heeled shoes (7 cm), and high heeled shoes with a total contact insert (TCI)) after lower extremity muscle fatigue. Although TCI shave been applied in high heeled shoes to increase comfort and to decrease foot pressure, no study has attempted to identify the effects of TCI in fatigue conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of walking in high heeled shoes with TCI after lower extremity muscle fatigue was induced. This study was carried out in a motion analysis laboratory at Hanseo University. A volunteer sample of 14 healthy female subjects participated. All in fatigue conditions, the subjects were divided into two groups. The muscle fatigue was induced by 40 voluntary dorsi- and plantar-flexion exercises and 40 heel-rise exercises of the dominant foot. Surface electromyography was used to confirm the localized muscle fatigue using power spectral analysis of three muscles (tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius medialis and lateralis). The results were as follows: (1) In muscle fatigue conditions, the use of TCI decreased the peak flexion angle of the hip joint significantly in the early stance phase (p<.05) and increased the peak hip flexion moment in the terminal stance phase (p<.05). (2) In muscle fatigue conditions, the application of TCI also increased peak hip power generation in the early stance phase and peak hip power absorption in the terminal stance phase (p<.05). (3) In muscle fatigue conditions, the use of TCI reduced the impact force significantly and increased the secondary peak vertical GRF. These findings suggest that the TCI may provide beneficial effects when muscle fatigue occurs for a high heeled shoe gait. Future research employing the patient population and various types of TCI materials are required to clarify the effects of TCI.

본 연구의 목적은 롤러 신발과 조깅 신발 착용 후 보행 시 운동학적 변인에 대하여 비교 분석 하는데 있다. 이를 위해 하지 근골격계에 이상이 없는 중학생 8명을 피험자로 선정하여 3차원 동작 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 활보장, 인체무게 중심변위 및 선속도, 관절각 및 각속도에서 집단 간 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 특히 롤러 집단의 경우 지지 시 발목 관절각이 증가하고 무릎각의 각속도가 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이는 롤러 신발의 경우 장착된 휠에 의해 지지 시 적절한 배측굴곡이 이루지지 못하고, 불안정성을 극복하기 위해 무릎의 과도한 굴곡이 나타난 것으로 사료되어 진다. 이러한 운동학적 변인의 차이는 롤러 신발 보행 시 정상 패턴과는 다른 불안정한 보행 동작을 유발시키고 이러한 동작이 지속적으로 이루어진다면 하지 근골격계에 변화를 유발시켜 부상 유발의 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구 결과를 토대로 향후 보다 안정성 높은 롤러 신발을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
