PET of the cerebral metabolic rate of glucose is increasingly used to support the clinical diagnosis in the examination of patients with suspected major neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. $^{18}F-FDG$ PET has been reported to have high diagnostic performance, especially, very high sensitivity in the diagnosis and clinical assessment of therapeutic efficacy. According to clinical research data hitherto, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET is expected to be an effective diagnostic tool in early and differential diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Since 2004, Medicare covers $^{18}F-FDG$ PET scans for the differential diagnosis of fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) under specific requirements; or, its use in a CMS approved practical clinical trial focused on the utility of $^{18}F-FDG$ PET in the diagnosis or treatment of dementing neurodegenerative diseases.

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death of men in western countries and the death related to this disease in Korea is also getting increased. Although anatomic imaging tools such as transrectal US or MRI have been playing a great role in detection of primary prostate lesion, the evaluation of regional lymph node or distant organ metastasis using these modalities is not successful. $^{18}F-FDG-PET$ scan is emerging diagnostic tool for various malignancies. Considering the usual characteristics of prostate cancer such as slow growing and osteoblastic metastasis, the application of FDG PET scan to this disease might be limited. However, in advanced prostate cancer refractory to chemotherapy, FDG PET scan show strong FDG uptake and SUV changes in serial PET scan can be a good indicator of treatment response. Although FDG PET can be useful only in limited cases of prostate cancer, its indication can be widened in future owing to rapid technical improvement and accumulated experiences in this field.

Clinical application of positron emission tomography (PET) is rapidly increasing for the detection and staging of cancer at whole-body studios performed with 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG). Although many cancers can be detected by FDG-PET, there has been limited clinical experience with FDG-PET for the defection of gynecological cancers including malignancies in uterus and ovary. FDG-PET can show foci of metastatic disease that may not be apparent at conventional anatomic imaging and can and in the characterization of indeterminate soft-tissue masses. Most gynecological cancers need to surgical management. FDG-PET can improve the selection of patients for surgical treatment and thereby reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with inappropriate surgery. FDG-PET is also useful for the early detection of recurrence and the monitoring of therapeutic effect. In this review, I discuss the clinical feasibility and limitations of this imaging modality in patients with gynecological cancers.

The aim of this study is to enhance the abrasion of the hydrolyzed polyethylene terephthalate(PET) fabrics by using microwave energy. In other to achieve the aforementioned objectives, PET fabrics were hydrolyzed in NaOH solution by using abrasion method such as dipping, microwave-dipping, pad steam-dry, and pad microwave-dry, and then abrasion of the hydrolyzed PET fabrics was calculated and investigated. As a result obtained form this study, the abrasion of the hydrolyzed PET fabrics is directly proportional to hydrolyzed time and NaOH concentration. And also, microwave-dipping method and pad microwave-dry method showed remarkable abrasion effect than the others.

PET/PHE blends were prepared by the mixing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(hydroxyether of bisphenol A) at melt state above PET melting temperature and modified PET fibers having less than 5 wt% of PHE were also prepared by the melt spinning of the PET/PHE blends. The PET/PHE blends were able to prepare by means of physical mixing concept, except the chemical interaction between hydroxyl groups of PHE and ester groups of PET. It has been revealed that the modified PET fibers have some hydrophilic properties such as low contact angle and easy-dyeable characters.

최근 고감성 PET 사를 이용하여 생산한 PET 직물은 고감성 의류용 직물로서 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 고감성 의류용 PET 직물은 다양한 공정을 거치면서 장력이나 열 등의 영향을 받으므로서 사의 물성의 변화를 초래하여 감성 의류용도의 PET 직물에 많은 결점을 유발 시키므로서 직물 생산 시 공정조건 설정 등의 어려움에 직면하고 있다. 이러한 고감성 의류에 치명적인 문제를 유발하는 문제점에 관한 감성사 제조 시의 공정조건 변화와 관련된 연구 논문은 많이 발표가 되지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 7개 원사 Maker의 Denier 별 PET 사의 물성을 균일한 길이의 Layer를 설정하여 분석, 조사하고 Layer 별 물성 차이와 습ㆍ건열 열처리 온도에 따른 사의 수축률 등을 비교하므로서 감성 의류용 직물 생산에 필요한 기초 물성 Data를 제공하고 PET 사의 품질향상을 도모하므로서 최종 감성 의류용 직물 소재 개발에 기여할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

PET/CT is a new imaging technology that combines high-quality Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Computed Tomography (CT). This imaging provides simultaneous anatomical and metabolic information. Therefore PET/CT is useful diagnostic modality for early detection of malignant tumor, accurate staging, decision on therapeutic plan, monitoring response to therapy and rapid detection of recurrence. We report oral and maxillofacial cancers diagnosed by using PET/CT and the usefulness of PET/CT in the evaluation of postoperative recurrence.

A graphic simulator can be a useful tool for planning gaits or dynamic behaviors to a walking pet robot. Microsoft describes robotics developer studio (MSRDS) as an end-to-end robotics development platform including simulation engine based on dynamics. In this paper, we propose a pet robot simulator (PRS), based on MSRDS, which supports interactively controlled two walking robots connected over network. To be pet robot simulator, modeling a commercial pet robot is performed and gait planning is also implemented. By using concurrency and coordination runtime (CCR) and decentralized software services (DSS) of MSRDS software platform, we connect two robots which are displayed together but controlled separately over network. The two walking pet robots can be simulated interactively by joysticks. It seems to be an internet game for pet robots.

In this study we intended to investigate properties of cement mortar with recycled PET fiber, PE fiber. and PP fiber such as slump flow, compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength. At results of experiment. several properties of specimen with recycled PET fiber were little low comparing those of specimen with PE fiber and PP fiber. But if we see from point of economy and recycle of industrial wastes, it has enough reason to be used. Compressive strength of specimen with recycled PET fiber at 55 days was about 10% higher. but tensile strength and flexural strength were lower than that of no-fiber.

The test on the breakdown strength and the electrical conduction property about the PET flim have been done when the interface exist and do not exist between the PET flim. The PET flim that does not exist the interface uniformly maintained the breakdown strength as the temperature increase. But, the breakdown strength of the PET flim inserted carbon black flim decreased as the temperature increase. The initial current of the PET flim inserted carbon black flim was higher than the PET flim and the uniformly distributed between 2.2E-9 and 2.5E-9 above 5kV/mm.
