  • Objective : We present our experience of microvascular decompression (MVD) for glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) and evaluate the postoperative outcomes in accordance with four different operative techniques during MVD. Methods : In total, 30 patients with intractable primary typical GPN who underwent MVD without rhizotomy and were followed for more than 2 years were included in the analysis. Each MVD was performed using one of four different surgical techniques : interposition of Teflon pieces, transposition of offending vessels using Teflon pieces, transposition of offending vessels using a fibrin-glue-coated Teflon sling, and removal of offending veins. Results : The posterior inferior cerebellar artery was responsible for neurovascular compression in 27 of 30 (90%) patients, either by itself or in combination with other vessels. The location of compression on the glossopharyngeal nerve varied; the root entry zone (REZ) only (63.3%) was most common, followed by both the REZ and distal portion (26.7%) and the distal portion alone (10.0%). In terms of detailed surgical techniques during MVD, the offending vessels were transposed in 24 (80%) patients, either using additional insulation, offered by Teflon pieces (15 patients), or using a fibrin glue-coated Teflon sling (9 patients). Simple insertion of Teflon pieces and removal of a small vein were also performed in five and one patient, respectively. During the 2 years following MVD, 29 of 30 (96.7%) patients were asymptomatic or experienced only occasional pain that did not require medication. Temporary hemodynamic instability occurred in two patients during MVD, and seven patients experienced transient postoperative complications. Neither persistent morbidity nor mortality was reported. Conclusion : This study demonstrates that MVD without rhizotomy is a safe and effective treatment option for GPN.

  • Seasonal volume transport on the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf is investigated in terms of objectively fitted transport streamfunction fields based on the current meter data of the Texas­Louisiana Shelf Circulation and Transport Processes Study. Adopted here for the objective mapping is a method employing a two-dimensional truncated Fourier representation of the streamfunction over a domain, with the amplitudes determined by least square fit of the observation. The fitting was done with depth-averaged flow rather than depth-integrated flow to reduce the root-mean-square error. The fitting process filters out $11\%$ of the kinetic energy in the monthly mean transport fields. The shelf-wide pattern of streamfunction fields is similar to that of near-surface velocity fields over the region. The nearshore transport, about 0.1 to 0.3 Sv $(1 Sv= 10^6\;m^3/sec)$, is well correlated with the seasonal signal of along-shelf wind stress. The spring transport is weak compared to other seasons in the inner shelf region. The transport along the shelf break is large and variable. In the southwestern shelf break, transport amounts up to 4.7 Sv, which is associated with the activities of the encroaching of energetic anticyclonic eddies originated in Loop Current of the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The first empirical orthogonal function (EOF) of streamfunction variability contains $67.3\%$ of the variance and shows a simple, shelf-wide, along-shelf pattern of transport. The amplitude evolution of the first EOF is highly correlated (correlation coefficient: 0.88) with the evolution of the along-shelf wind stress. This provides strong evidence that the large portion of seasonal variation of the shelf transport is wind-forced. The second EOF contains $23.7\%$ of the variance and shows eddy activities at the southwestern shelf break. The correlation coefficient between the amplitudes of the second EOF and wind stress is 0.42. We assume that this mode is coupled a periodic inner shelf process with a non-periodic eddy process on the shelf break. The third EOF (accounting for $7.2\% of the variance) shows several cell structures near the shelf break associated with the variability of the Loop Current Eddies. The amplitude time series of the third EOF show little correlation with the along-shelf wind.

  • 쉬미는 항공기의 이착륙 시 랜딩기어가 주행도중 측방향 및 조향방향의 진동이 발생하는 현상이다. 쉬미 현상은 스트럿의 낮은 강성, 랜딩기어 내부의 유격, 휠의 불균형이나 마모된 부품 등으로 인해 발생하며, 항공기의 안정성을 저하시킨다. 본 연구는 소형항공기의 쉬미 안정성 검토를 위해 수행되었다. 수치해석을 위하여 소형항공기의 전방 착륙장치를 선형시스템으로 모델링하고 상태방정식을 수립하였다. 근궤적 기법을 이용한 주파수 영역 해석과 4차 Runge-Kutta 방법을 이용한 시간영역 해석을 통해 쉬미 현상을 예측하였고 주요 변수의 설계범위를 검토하였다. 현 착륙장치는 와셔의 압축력을 이용하여 조향 방향 마찰을 가함으로써 쉬미현상을 저감하는 기법을 채택하고 있으므로 마찰을 기술함수를 이용하여 선형화시키고 상태방정식에 적용하여 해석을 수행함으로써 쉬미의 발생이 저감되는 결과를 확인하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 PFC단 링크 캐패시터의 실효 전류를 크게 저감 할 수 있는 링크 캐패시터 전류 스트레스 저감기법을 제안한다. 링크 캐패시터 선정 기준에는 여러 가지가 있으나 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 것이 캐패시터 실효전류이다. 제안된 C-L 필터는 PFC단 출력 전류를 필터링하여 링크 캐패시터의 실효 전류를 크게 줄일 수 있고, 제안된 C-L-L-C 필터는 C-L 필터의 출력 전류 필터링 효과와 함께 L-C 필터가 DC/DC단 입력 전류를 필터링 함으로써 링크 캐패시터의 실효 전류를 더욱 크게 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 필터는 설계가 간단하고 PFC단의 Crossover frequency가 매우 낮아 C-L 필터 및 C-L-L-C 필터의 Cut-off frequency가 PFC단의 제어기 루프에 영향을 주지 않으므로 적은 소자를 가지고 손쉬운 방법으로 링크 캐패시터의 실효전류를 크게 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 필터의 이론적 해석과 설계 방법을 제시하며, 실험을 통하여 그 우수성을 검증한다.

  • 이소맹출은 발육과정 중 그 발생지에서의 정상적 맹출 경로에서 벗어난 치아의 맹출을 의미한다. 이소맹출의 극단적인 형태로 전위가 있는데 이것은 두 치아의 위치가 서로 바뀐 것이다. 이러한 이소맹출 및 전위된 치아의 치료는 치아가 맹출되는 방향, 치근단의 완성정도, 맹출공간의 존재여부 등에 따라 단순한 관찰에서 외과적 노출 후 교정적 견인까지 매우 다양하며, 위치 이상이 심한 경우에는 외과적 자가이식이나 발치를 고려할 수 있다. 이중 자가치아이식은 치아를 구강내의 한 위치에서 다른 발치와나 외과적으로 형성된 치조와로 이동시키는 술식으로, 치아가 교정력을 가할 수 없는 위치에 존재하거나 치아 이동에 제한이 있어 통상적인 치료가 불가능할 경우 발거에 앞서 고려할 수 있는 술식이다. 본 증례들은 교정적 견인 및 배열이 어렵다고 판단되는 이소맹출하는 상악 측절치와 상악 견치를 자가이식함으로써 심미적, 기능적으로 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • The status of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal colonization in Pinus thunbergii seedlings was investigated 2 years after planting in an eastern coastal area of Korea. We established three $10{\times}10$ m plots at a P. thunbergii plantation in Gangneung and sampled lateral roots from 10 seedlings in each plot. ECMs were classified into morphological groups and the number of root tips of each morphotype was counted. In total, 8 ECM morphotypes were observed and fungal species that form each morphotype were identified by sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear rDNA. Suillus granulatus was the most abundant species (44.1-65.7% of relative abundance) in all plots, followed by Tomentella ellisii (14.0-37.8%) and unidentified fungus belonged to Atheliaceae (10.6-20.1%). These 3 fungal species accounted for almost all of the ECM abundance in each plot (94.9-99.8%). The remaining 5 fungal species were uncommon and rare. There was no clear difference in ECM fungal communities among plots. Community structure of ECM fungi in the young P. thunbergii plantation was simple and composed of fungal species that were also observed in mature coastal pine forests.

  • Presently, we report a simple, reproducible and high frequency plant regeneration in Hibiscus syriacus L. using axillary buds. H. syriacus was regenerated from axillary buds directly or through a callus phase. Regenerated shoots were directly induced from young and fresh axillary buds cultured on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with 0.01 mg/L of the growth regulator thidiazuron (TDZ) after 2 weeks of culture. Directly induced shoots were transferred to hormone-free MS medium and root development was observed after 6 weeks. On the other hand, old and stale axillary buds were regenerated to shoots via callus induction on MS medium containing 0.01–2 mg/L TDZ after 4 weeks. A TDZ concentration of 0.01 mg/L was most effective in callus formation. Green callus was transferred to MS medium containing 0.01 mg/L α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 0.5 mg/L benzylaminopurine (BA). After 4 weeks, callus had developed into multiple shoots. Plantlets were formed from 10 week cultures of single shoots on hormone-free MS medium. Regenerated plantlets were cultured on MS medium for one month and then transferred to pots containing garden soil. Potted plants were acclimatized for one month and grown to maturity under greenhouse conditions. The present study has shown that various concentrations of plant growth regulator can be effective for in vitro plant regeneration of H. syriacus. The direct and indirect regeneration protocol presented here will be useful for understanding the manipulation and propagation of H. syriacus.
