During the 4 year period from 1982 through 1985, twelve patients have undergone operations for discrete subaortic stenosis with good short-term clinical result at Department of Thoracic and cardiovascular Surgery, S.N.U.H. According to the cineangiographic and operative findings, nine of the 12 patients were classified as Deutsch type I, the other 3 as type II, and eleven of the 12 had one or more associated anomalies of the cardiovascular system such as PDA[5], VSD[5], left SVC[2], MS[1], COA[1], supramitral membrane[1], DORY[1], right aortic arch[1], DCRV[1], and TOF[1] [one with Shone`s complex], and three of them had secondary cardiac disorders such as aortic regurgitation[3],mitral regurgitation[2], and tunnel shaped dynamic obstruction of left ventricular outflow tract[2]. We have performed membrane resection via oblique aortotomy with retraction of the aortic cusps in 7 cases and via VSD from right cardiac chamber in 5 cases with large VSD and have also performed the operations on the correctable associated anomalies. There was only one operative death in patient with associated TOF due to neurologic complication and no other postoperative difficulties except in one patient with transient heart block resolved spontaneously on postoperative 3rd day. To our knowledge, this article is the first report of operation for discrete subaortic stenosis in Korean literature.

III-V족 화합물 반도체의 일종인 InSb는 77 K에서 0.23 eV의 작은 밴드 갭을 가지며 높은 전하 이동도를 가지고 있기 때문에 대기권에서 전자파 흡수가 일어나지 않는 3~5 ${\mu}m$범위의 장파장 적외선 감지가 가능하여 중적외선 감지 소자로 이용되고 있다. 하지만 InSb는 밴드 갭이 매우 작기 때문에, 소자 제작시 누설전류에 의한 소자 특성의 저하가 문제시 되고 있다. 또한 다른 화합물 반도체에 비해 녹는점이 낮고, 휘발성이 강한 5족 원소인 Sb의 승화로 기판의 화학양론적 조성비(stoichiometry)가 변하기 쉬워, 계면특성 저하의 원인이 된다. 따라서 우수한 특성을 가지는 적외선 소자의 구현을 위해서, 저온에서 계면 특성이 우수한 고품질의 절연막 증착 연구가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 InSb 기판 위에 $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$의 절연막 형성시 증착온도의 변화에 따른 계면 트랩 밀도를 분석하였다. $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$ 절연막은 플라즈마 화학 기상 증착법(PECVD)을 이용하여 n형 InSb 기판 위에 증착하였으며, 증착온도를 $120^{\circ}C$부터 $240^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켰다. Metal oxide semiconductor(MOS) 구조 제작을 통하여, 커패시턴스-전압(C-V)분석을 진행하였으며, 절연막과 InSb 사이의 계면 트랩 밀도를 Terman method를 이용하여 계산하였다[1]. 또한, $SiO_2$와 $Si_3N_4$의 XPS 분석과 TOF-SIMS 분석을 통하여 계면 트랩 밀도의 원인을 밝혀 보았다. $120{\sim}240^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서 계면 트랩 밀도는 $Si_3N_4$의 경우 $2.4{\sim}4.9{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}eV^{-1}$, $SiO_2$의 경우 $7.1{\sim}7.3{\times}10^{11}cm^{-2}eV^{-1}$ 값을 나타냈고, 두 절연막 모두 증착 온도가 증가할수록 계면 트랩 밀도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 모든 샘플에서 $Si_3N_4$의 경우, flat band voltage가 음의 전압으로 이동한 반면, $SiO_2$의 경우, 양의 전압으로 이동하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 계면 트랩 밀도 증가의 원인을 확인하기 위해서, oxide를 $120^{\circ}C$, $240^{\circ}C$에서 증착시킨 샘플을 XPS 분석을 통하여 깊이에 따른 성분분석을 하였고, 그 결과, $240^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 샘플에서 계면에서 $In_2O_3$와 $Sb_2O_3$ 피크의 증가를 확인하였다. 이는 계면에서 oxide양이 증가함을 의미하며, 이렇게 생성된 oxide는 계면 트랩으로 작용하므로, 계면 특성을 저하시키는 원인으로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. Nitride 절연막을 증착시킨 샘플은 TOF-SIMS 분석을 통해, 계면에서의 성분 분석을 하였고, 그 결과, $240^{\circ}C$에서 증착된 샘플에서 In-N, Sb-N, Si-N 결합의 감소를 확인하였다. 이렇게 분해된 결합들의 dangling 결합이 늘어 계면 트랩으로 작용하므로, 계면 특성을 저하시키는 원인으로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 최종적으로, 소자특성을 확인 하기 위하여 계면 트랩 밀도가 가장 낮게 측정된 $200^{\circ}C$ 조건에서 $SiO_2$ 절연막을 증착하여 InSb 적외선 소자를 제작하였다. 전류-전압(I-V) 분석 결과 -0.1 V에서 16 nA의 누설 전류 값을 보였으며, $2.6{\times}10^3{\Omega}cm^2$의 RoA(zero bias resistance area)를 얻을 수 있었다. 절연막 증착조건의 최적화를 통하여, InSb 적외선 소자의 특성이 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Metalloenzyme was purified from the fruiting bodies of Tricholoma sejunctum. MALDI-TOF and ICP/MS analyses revealed that the enzyme had a molecular weight of 18788.25 and includes $Zn^{2+}$ ion. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was Ala-Thr-Tyr-Lys-Ile-X-Ser-Ala-Thr-His-Gln-X-X-Leu-Val. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by EDTA and 1,10-phenanthroline, indicating that the enzyme was a metalloprotease. No inhibition was found with E-64 and pepstatin. It has broad substrate specificity for synthetic peptides. The enzyme was stable up to $40^{\circ}C$. The activity of the enzyme was increased by $Zn^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$, while it was totally inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$. The enzyme hydrolyzes $A{\alpha}$ subunit of human fibrinogen but did not show any reactivity for $B{\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$ form of human fibrinogen.

keV-neutron capture gamma-ray spectrum of $^{197}Au$(natural gold) sample have been measured in neutron energy range from 10 to 90 keV using the 3-MV pelletron accelerator of the Research Laboratory for Nuclear Reactors at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Pulsed keV neutrons were produced from the $^7Li(p,n)^7Be$ reaction by bombarding on the $^7Li$ target with the 1.5-ns bunched proton beam. The incident neutron spectrum on the Au sample was measured by a $^6Li$-glass scintillation detector and TOF method. Capture gamma-rays from Au sample were measured by anti-Compton NaI(TI) spectrometer. Five average neutron energy regions were selected to obtain the neutron capture spectrum. Several gamma-ray peaks in the spectrum were found in the present experiment.

Nocardiosis is uncommon. Immunocompromising conditions predispose individuals to pulmonary and disseminated nocardiosis of the brain, skin, and subcutaneous tissues. The most common pathogens are Nocardia cyriacigeorgica, Nocardia nova, and Nocardia farcinica. The speciation of Nocardia to determine antimicrobial susceptibility is difficult using traditional biochemical methods. Here, we report the case of a 73-year-old man with chronic obstructive lung disease who developed a rapidly progressing intramuscular abscess around the left hip and thigh. Within 3 days, the lesions progressed to an epidural abscess at the L4 to S1 level. Although he was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics and extensive incision and drainage, he died of rapidly progressive respiratory failure. Nocardia abscessus (N. abscessus) was identified in pus samples using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). This case shows that the diagnosis of an intramuscular abscess caused by N. abscessus is challenging and that using MALDI-TOF MS may facilitate the diagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment.

The in vitro glycosylation of pentapeptide (Arg-Lys-Asp-Val-Tyr; RKDVY) and RNase A was carried out using PNGase F (peptide-N-glycosidase F), and the results were analyzed using MALDI-TOF-MS. Aminated N,N-diretyl chitobiose was used as the sugar in the glycosylation reaction, and the amination yield of N,N'-diacetyl chitobiose was about $60\%$. To reduce the water activity and shift the reaction equilibrium to a reverse reaction, 1,4-dioxane or ethylene glycol was used as the organic solvent in the enzymatic glycosylation. A certain extent of nonenzymatic glycosylaton, known as the Maillard reaction, was also observed, which occurs on an arginine or lysine residue when the length of tie sugar residue is one or two. However, the extent of glycosylation was much higher in the enzymatic reaction, indicating that PNGase F can be effectively used to produce glycopeptides and glycoproteins in vitro.
