  • Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of topical fluoride gel application on dental caries prevention in the permanent teeth of children and adolescents. Methods: We searched the EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of self-applied or professionally applied topical fluoride gels in patients <18 years of age; the search was completed on April 1, 2018. All included trials involved an experimental group (fluoride gel application) and a control group (placebo or no treatment). The outcome measures were the D(M)FS and D(M)FT indices, which were compared between the two groups. Review Manager software was used for quantitative synthesis of the final selected articles, and a forest plot was generated via a meta-analysis conducted using a random effects model. Results: The results showed that the D(M)FS and D(M)FT indices were lower in the fluoride application group than in the control group, thus indicating that fluoride gel application was effective in dental caries prevention. We also performed a subgroup analysis to determine whether the effects of fluoride application differed if patients received oral prophylaxis (self or professional) before fluoride gel application. Therefore, the two groups showed slightly larger differences when studies without oral prophylaxis before fluoride gel application were considered; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: These findings should be utilized to raise awareness about the caries-prevention effects of topical fluoride application among patients and guardians. Further RCTs should evaluate the effects of fluoride application with or without preceding oral prophylaxis, and appropriate fluoride application guidelines should be developed to maximize the effects of fluoride application in clinical practice.

  • This study explores the possibility of creating new experimental hanbok designs by accommodating the latest world fashion trends and the changing needs of consumers, in order to attempt to overcome the limitations of traditional Korean fashion design. To do so, We analyze works by contemporary Korean fashion designers to investigate current developments in Korean fashion design and to identify areas of improvement within hanbok design. The results show that most contemporary hanbok designs repeat stereotypes of traditional hanbok with minor modifications. So there arises a need to create new hanbok designs that are clearly distinct from traditional hanbok but also maintain its core features. To develop such designs, I apply the techniques of deconstruction fashion, which allow making experiments with form, composition, and materials use to realize new aesthetics. The use of CLO 3D fashion design software also proves to be very efficient for developing experimental designs. The study results make meaningful contributions to the development of virtual clothing and 3D fashion for hanbok, particularly as metaBUS, a cloud-based research synthesis platform, is rapidly gaining ground, and reality and virtual reality are increasingly mixed in everyday life. This attempt at 3D design of hanbok is expected to trigger more creative experimentation in hanbok design.

  • Objectives This study is designed to identify the effectiveness of herbal medicine for osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis. Methods We will investigate 10 databases, 4 Korean databases (KoreaMed, KMBASE, Koreanstudies Information Service System [KISS], ScienceOn) and 6 of abroad (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI], WanFang, Citation Information by NII [CiNii]) without publication date, language limitation for clinical study of herbal medicine for osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis. Type, dose, duration, frequency of herb medicine will be analyzed. Results Randomized controlled trials about herbal medicine or herb extract for osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis should be included in the study. Cochrane's risk of bias tools will be used to assess quality of the study. Mean differences or standardized mean differences of 95% confidence intervals will calculated and data synthesis will be conducted using Review Manager (RevMan, ver.5.3; The Nordic Cochrane Centre, The Cochrane Collaboration, Copenhagen, Denmark). Conclusions It is expected to provide basic data for the active use of herb medicine by systematically synthesizing and analyzing the actual situation, effectiveness, and safety of herb medicine for osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis.

  • Nowadays, as we can notice on social media, most users choose to use more than one language in their online postings. Thus, social media analytics needs reviewing as code-switching analytics instead of traditional analytics. This paper aims to present evidence comparable to the accuracy of code-switching analytics techniques in analysing the mood state of social media users. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to study the social media analytics that examined the effectiveness of code-switching analytics techniques. One primary question and three sub-questions have been raised for this purpose. The study investigates the computational models used to detect and measures emotional well-being. The study primarily focuses on online postings text, including the extended text analysis, analysing and predicting using past experiences, and classifying the mood upon analysis. We used thirty-two (32) papers for our evidence synthesis and identified four main task classifications that can be used potentially in code-switching analytics. The tasks include determining analytics algorithms, classification techniques, mood classes, and analytics flow. Results showed that CNN-BiLSTM was the machine learning algorithm that affected code-switching analytics accuracy the most with 83.21%. In addition, the analytics accuracy when using the code-mixing emotion corpus could enhance by about 20% compared to when performing with one language. Our meta-analyses showed that code-mixing emotion corpus was effective in improving the mood analytics accuracy level. This SLR result has pointed to two apparent gaps in the research field: i) lack of studies that focus on Malay-English code-mixing analytics and ii) lack of studies investigating various mood classes via the code-mixing approach.

  • Purpose: This systematic review aims to determine whether robot-assisted training is more effective in gait training for persons with subacute hemiparetic stroke. Methods: This study adopted a systematic review study design focused on subacute hemiparetic stroke, and four core academic databases were searched until June 11, 2021, for relevant studies, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and ProQuest Central. The review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effects of robotic-assisted training on gait performance in persons with a diagnosis of subacute hemiparetic stroke. The selected RCT studies were qualitatively synthesized based on the population, intervention, comparison, outcome, settings, and study design (PICOS-SD). Results: The study selected five RCTs involving 253 subacute hemiparetic stroke patients and performing robotic-assisted gait training using the following devices: the Lokomat, Morning Walk, Walkbot, ProStep Plus, or Gait Trainer II. Five RCTs were eligible for the meta-analysis after quantitative synthesis, and the results showed that the robot-assisted gait training group had a greater gait performance than the control group based on the 10-meter walk test, Berg balance scale, Rivermed mobility index, functional ambulation category, and modified Barthel index. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the gait performance of subacute hemiparetic stroke patients changes throughout robot-assisted gait training, but there were no indications that any of the clinically relevant effects of robot-assisted training are greater than those of conventional gait training. Further, the small sample size and different therapeutic intensities indicate that definitive conclusions could not be made.

  • A systematic review was conducted in compliance with PRISMA statement standards to identify all studies reporting outcomes of laparoscopic resection of benign or malignant lesions located in caudate lobe of liver. Pooled outcome data were calculated using random-effects models. A total of 196 patients from 12 studies were included. Mean operative time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, and length of hospital stay were 225 minutes (95% confidence interval [CI], 181-269 minutes), 134 mL (95% CI, 85-184 mL), and 7 days (95% CI, 5-9 days), respectively. The pooled risk of need for intraoperative transfusion was 2% (95% CI, 0%-5%). It was 3% (95% CI, 1%-6%) for conversion to open surgery, 6% (95% CI, 0%-19%) for need for intra-abdominal drain, 1% (95% CI, 0%-3%) for postoperative mortality, 2% (95% CI, 0%-4%) for biliary leakage, 2% (95% CI, 0%-4%) for intra-abdominal abscess, 1% (95% CI, 0%-4%) for biliary stenosis, 1% (95% CI, 0%-3%) for postoperative bleeding, 1% (95% CI, 0%-4%) for pancreatic fistula, 2% (95% CI, 1%-5%) for pulmonary complications, 1% (95% CI, 0%-4%) for paralytic ileus, and 1% (95% CI, 0%-4%) for need for reoperation. Although the available evidence is limited, the findings of the current study might be utilized for hypothesis synthesis in future studies. They can be used to inform surgeons and patients about estimated risks of perioperative complications until a higher level of evidence is available.

  • 스타트업 액셀러레이터는 초기창업자들이 겪는 애로사항을 직접적으로 해결해 줄 수 있는 교육, 멘토링, 네트워킹, 공간, 시드머니(Seed money)등을 제공하고 일정 지분을 받는 새로운 형태의 투자주체이다(Clarysse, 2016). 스타트업 액셀러레이터들은 이들이 스타트업 생태계에 미치는 영향력이 입증되면서 전 세계적으로 확산되고 있다(Pauwels et al., 2016; Cohen & Hochberg, 2014). 본 연구는 이처럼 전 세계적으로 주요한 투자주체로 부상하고 있는 스타트업 액셀러레이터들의 투자결정요인을 도출하는 연구를 진행하였다. 먼저, 관련 선행연구가 부재한 상황이므로 정성적 메타합성법, 관련 자료조사, 관찰, 심층인터뷰의 과정을 거쳤다. 우선 창업초기 기업에 대한 투자결정요인에 대한 선행연구 30여 편을 선정하여 해당연구에 나타난 투자결정요인들을 정성적 메타합성법을 통해 비교·분석하였다. 그리고 액셀러레이터의 특성을 반영하기 위해서 액셀러레이터들의 평가과정에 대한 자료들을 조사하였으며, 실제로 이루어진 미국 액셀러레이터들의 스타트업 평가과정을 관찰하였다. 이 때 나타난 100여개의 질문을 근거이론의 코딩 기법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 더불어 미국 액셀러레이터들을 대상으로 심층 인터뷰를 진행하여 액셀러레이터의 특성과 주요 투자결정요인 등을 파악하였다. 이를 통해 최종적으로 5개 카테고리, 26개 세부 투자결정요인으로 이루어진 '액셀러레이터 형 투자결정요인'을 도출하였다. 그리고 이의 결과를 국내 액셀러레이터들의 검토를 받고 확정한 후, 국내 액셀러레이터를 대상으로 한 정량조사를 통해 각 카테고리 내, 중요도 및 우선순위를 살펴봄으로써 이의 신뢰성 및 액셀러레이터들이 중요하게 생각하는 투자결정요인 등을 확인하였다. 이렇게 액셀러레이터의 투자결정요인을 체계적으로 도출한 연구는 최초의 연구로써 후속연구들의 진행 및 스타트업 선정과정, 액셀러레이터의 투자결정 과정 등에 주요한 기여를 할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

  • 충주 지역은 소위 옥천층군에 해당되는 계명산층이 분포하며, 계명산층내에는 변성화산암 모암과 페그마타이트 모암의 희토류 광체가 배태한다. 변성화산암 모암의 희토류 광체를 구성하는 희토류광물은 갈렴석, 저어콘, 인회석, 스핀이 산출하나 갈렴석이 가장 우세하게 산출한다. 페그마타이트 모암의 희토류 광체를 구성하는 희토류 광물은 퍼구소나이트, 카르나수르타이트, 저어콘, 토륨석이 산출하나 퍼구소나이트가 가장 우세하다. 변성화산암에서 산출하는 갈렴석의 화학식은 (Ca, Y, REE, Th)$_{2.095}$(Mg, Al, Ti, Mn, $Fe^{3+})_{2.770}(SiO_4)_{2.975}(OH)$로서 TREO 23.89-29.12 wt%, $La_2O_3$ 4.71-9.92 wt%, $Ce_2O_3$ 11.30-14.33 wt%, $Y_2O_3$ 0.11-0.29 wt%, $ThO_2$ 0.12-0.94 wt% 이다. A(2) 사이트 에서 $Ca^{2+}$$REE^{3+}$, M(2) 사이트에서 $Al^{3+}$$Fe^{2+}$의 치환이 일어나는데 이는 갈렴석의 화학조성에 밀접한 관련을 갖는 특징이고, Fe의 함량이 일반 갈렴석보다 높은 Ce 계열의 Ferriallanite에 해당된다. 이는 모암인 계명산층을 주로 구성하는 변성화산암(변성조면암)의 원암이 Fe이 풍부한 함철층이기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 페그마타이트 모암에서 가장 우세하게 산출하는 퍼구소나이트의 화학조성은 A 사이트에서 Y-REE, Y-Th 치환이 우세하게 일어났으며, B 사이트에서는 Nb-Ta-Ti의 치환이 주로 초래되었으며, 계산된 화학식은 $YNbO_4$ 이다. 또한 $Y_2O_3$$Nb_2O_5$만의 비율로 상관도를 확인 한 결과 연구지역에서 산출되는 퍼구소나이트는 Y과 Nb의 이상적인 비율인 1:1 비율과 달리 1:1.5의 비율을 나타내고 있으며, Nb의 함량이 Y 함량보다 높으며, Y 사이트 즉, A 사이트에서 희토류 원소의 치환이 활발하게 초래되었다. 페그마타이트에서 산출하는 카르나수르타이트는 REE 및 Th를 치환하는 조성은 각각 $Ce_2O_3$ 9.16-22.88 wt%, $La_2O_3$ 2.15-9.16 wt%, $ThO_2$ 0.44-10.8 wt%, 화학조성으로 계산된 구조식은 (Y, REE, Th, K, Na, Ca)$_{1.478}$(Ti, Nb)$_{1.304}$(Mg, Al, Mn, $Fe^{+3})_{0.988}$(Si, P)$_{1.431}O_7(OH)_4{\cdot}3H_2O$이다. 870-860 Ma 인 초기 원생대에 로디니아 대륙의 분열기로서 한반도에서 A-1형 화산활동이 초래되어 철, 희토류원소 및 고장력원소(Nb, Zr, Y 등)가 풍부한 변성화산암으로 주로 구성되는 계명산층을 형성 시켰다면 갈렴석은 모암이 형성될 당시 알카리 화산암에서 정출되었거나 변성작용이 초래된 고생대 말(300-280 Ma, Cho et al., 2002) 광역변성작용에 의해 형성 되었을 가능성이 높다. 희토류를 함유하는 페그마타이트에서 산출하는 저어콘 연대가 190 Ma 인 것은 쥬라기에 충주지역에서 광범위하게 초래된 화강암 정치활동과 관련된 가능성이 크다. 따라서 충주지역 계명산층 내 배태된 희토류 광체는 인접한 지역에 배태되어 있지만 매우 차별적 희토류 광화작용이 초래 되어 희토류광물조성과 광체의 산상이 차별적으로 나타나는 것으로 해석된다.

  • Objectives : This review was conducted to validate the effectiveness and safety of herbal medicine combined with conventional therapy for rosacea. Methods : Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) reporting the effects of herbal medicine treatment on rosacea were searched through eight electronic databases from 2016 to March 17, 2020. This study collection and data extraction were performed by two independent reviews. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool was used for the evaluation of the risk of bias in all included RCTs. Mean differences(MD) and Risk ratio(RR) of 95% Confidence intervals(Cls) were calculated and data synthesis was conducted using Review Manager(RevMan, ver.5.4) Results : Eighteen RCTs were included and all trials compared the combined therapy of herbal medicine with conventional western therapy to conventional therapy alone. The effective rate of the combination of herbal medicine with western medicine(RR 1.20, 95% CI : 1.13-1.28, p<0.00001, I2=0%), the effective rate of the combination of herbal medicine with laser-based therapy(RR 1.12, 95% CI : 1.04-1.21, p=0.004, I2=18%) and the effective rate of the combination treatment group using herbal medicine, western medicine and external drugs were all statistically higher that of the control group(RR 1.19, 95% CI : 1.11-1.28, p<0.00001, I2=0%). The score of non transient erythema(MD -0.36, 95% CI : -1.01 0.29, p=0.27, I2=93%), flushing(MD -0.69, 95% CI : -0.97, 0.41, p<0.00001, I2=32%), papules or pustules(MD 0.10, 95% CI : -0.15, 0.35 p=0.44, I2=0%) were also seen in the herbal medicine and western medicine combination group. The overall risk of bias of the included studies was some concerns. No serious adverse effects were observed. Conclusions : This review found the safety and effectiveness of the combined therapy of herbal medicine with conventional western therapy for rosacea.

  • Anatase $TiO_2$에 각기 다른 텅스텐(W) 함유원료와 제조방법을 적용하여 $WO_3$ 촉매가 첨가된 SCR(selective catalytic reduction)용 분말을 합성하였으며, W 촉매 첨가가 합성분말의 상합성 및 SCR 촉매능에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 촉매의 지지체인 $TiO_2$는 침전법으로 anatase 상으로 합성되었으며, anatase에서 고온상인 rutile로의 상전이 온도는 $1200^{\circ}C$였으나, $WO_3$를 10 wt% 첨가할 경우 이 상전이 온도는 $900^{\circ}C$로 낮아졌다. 건식으로 $WO_3$ 분말을 직접 첨가하여 $WO_3(10wt%)/TiO_2$를 제조한 경우 $350^{\circ}C$에서 $NO_X$ 제거 촉매능이 최고점에 이르나 온도증가에 따라 그 효율이 상당히 감소하였다. 암모늄-메타-텅스테이트를 습식으로 첨가하여 제조한 경우, 보다 고온인 $450^{\circ}C$에서 촉매능이 최고점에 이르렀으며 온도에 따른 효율감소 폭도 적었다. 이와 같은 경향은 $WO_3$$V_2O_5$를 동시 첨가하여 제조한 $V_2O_5(5wt%)-WO_3(10wt%)/TiO_2$ 촉매에서도 나타났다. 즉, 암모늄-메타-텅스테이트를 습식으로 첨가한 경우, $WO_3$를 직접 첨가한 경우에 비해 넓은 온도범위($300^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$)에 걸쳐 90 %에 이상의 우수한 $NO_X$ 변환효율을 보였다.
