37세 여자 환자의 하지에 연부 조직 악성 종양 형태로 발생한 Kimura 병을 보고 하고자 한다. 하지에 발생하는 경우는 매우 드물지만 피하 지방층에 경계가 안 좋은 고형 종괴가 임파선 형태를 유지하며 주위 조직으로 침윤이 있다면 Kimura 병을 감별진단에 포함시켜야 하며 말초 혈액검사와 혈청 IgE 수치 측정을 권유하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

A way of quantitatively describing the tissue architecture we have investigated when developing a computer program for malignancy grading of transitional cell bladder carcinoma. The minimum spanning trees, MST was created by connecting the center points of the nuclei in the tissue section image. These nuclei were found by thresholding the image at an automatically determined threshold followed by a connected component labeling and a watershed algorithm for separation of overlapping nuclei. Clusters were defined in the MST by thresholding the edge lengths. For these clusters geometric and densitometric features were measures. These features were compared by multivariate statistical methods to the subjective grading by the pathologists and the resulting correspondence was 85% on a material of 40 samples.

본 연구는 남부 지방에서 널리 사용되고 있는 상록활엽수인 돈나무의 내한성 예측을 위한 편리하고 신뢰성 있는 평가 모델 개발을 목적으로 전해질 용출법을 통한 내한성 평가에서 나타나는 실험방법 상의 오차를 최소화하는 내한성 평가 모델을 도출하고자 수행되었다. 평가 모델링은 저온 처리된 식물체에 대한 재생검사와 전해질 용출 평가로 구성되었고, 전해질 용출법에서 표본조직 선택, 최대 전해질 용출 측정을 위한 온도 처리법, 치사 온도 예측을 위한 통계 분석법에 의한 방법적 조합들로부터 예측된 치사 온도들이 재생검사 결과와 비교되었다. 재생 검사 결과 돈나무의 저온 치사 온도는 50% 미만의 생존율을 보이는 최고온도인 $^-10{\circ}C{\sim}-5^{\circ}C$로 분석되었고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 전해질 용출법에 의해 예측된 저온 치사 온도를 분석한 결과, 잎을 표본 조직으로 하여 냉각치사법으로 최대 전해질 용출을 측정한 방법적 조합에서 재생 검사 결과와 가장 근접한 예측 저온 치사 온도가 나타났다. 저온 치사온도 예측을 위한 통계 모델 평가에서는 선형보간법이 비선형회귀에 비하여 내한성을 과대평가하는 경향이 상대적으로 높았다. 결론적으로 돈나무 내한성 예측을 위한 내한성 평가 모델은 잎을 표본 조직으로 사용하고, 최대 전해질 용출 측정을 위한 온도 처리 방법으로 냉각치사법을 적용하며, 치사온도 예측을 위한 통계 분석 기법으로 비선형회귀를 활용하는 방법적 구성이 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

This research was conducted to determine the plant growth and nutrient contents of potted chrysanthemum 'Lima Honey' as influenced by application rate of fused superphosphate (FSSP) in three root media, peatmoss+vermiculite (1:1, v/v; PV), peatmoss+composted rice hall (1:1, v/v; PR), and peatmoss+composted pine bark (1:1, v/v; PB). All root media contained polyacrylic acid sodium salt at a rate of $4.5g L^{-1}$. The treatment of $1.4g L^{-1}$ in PV and those of $0.7g L^{-1}$ in PR and PB had the greatest fresh and dry weights in each root medium at both 43 and 80 days after transplanting. Elevated application rates of FSPP increased tissue contents of N, P, and K at both 43 and 80 days after transplanting in PV medium. However, the differences in tissue contents of N, P and K in PR medium were less significant among treatments of FSPP. The pre-planting FSPP also less affected the tissue contents of nutrients at 80 days after transplanting as compared to those at 43 days after transplanting. Elevated application rates of FSPP in PV medium increased EC and the concentrations of $NO_3,\;P_2O_5$, K, Ca, and Mg in soil solution of root media at 43 days after transplanting. The EC in PV medium at 80 days after transplanting was higher than that at 43 days after transplanting. The EC in all root media at 80 days after transplanting was not different among treatments of FSPP.

Background: Strengthening the supraspinatus is an important aspect of a rehabilitation program for subacromial impingement and tendinopathy. Many authors recommended empty-can (EC), full-can (FC), and prone full-can (PFC) exercises to strengthen the supraspinatus. However, no ultrasonography study has yet investigated supraspinatus muscle architecture (muscle thickness; MT, pennation angle; PA, fiber bundle length; FBL) in relation to supraspinatus strengthening exercises. Objects: The purpose of this study was to compare the architecture (MT, PA, and FBL) of the supraspinatus muscle during three different types of exercises (EC, FC, and PFC) using diagnostic ultrasound. Methods: Participants performed three different exercises: (A) EC; the arm was maintained at $60^{\circ}$ abduction with full internal rotation in the sitting position, (B) FC; the arm was maintained at $60^{\circ}$ abduction with full external rotation in the sitting position, and (C) PFC; the arm was maintained at $60^{\circ}$ abduction with full external rotation in the prone position. Ultrasonography was used to measure the MT, PA and FBL of the supraspinatus. One-way repeated analysis of variance with Bonferroni's post-hoc test was used to compare between the three exercises and the initial position of each exercise. Results: Compared with each initial position, the FC exercise showed the greatest mean difference in muscle architecture properties and the PFC exercise showed the least mean difference. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the FC exercise position may have an advantage in increasing the amount of contractile tissue or producing muscle power and the PFC exercise position may be useful in a rehabilitation program because it offers the advantage of maintaining the muscle architecture properties.

방사선치료 성과의 기준을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 종양치유확율 (Tumor Control Probability)과 정상조직 손상확율(Normal Tissue complication Probability)의 수학적 관계식을 유도하여 방사선업체조형치료 (3-D conformal radiotherapy) 효과를 평가하며 간단한 동물실험과 임상결과를 참고하여 종양치료성적의 예측과 종양선량의 증가 및 치료의 질적상황을 정량적 척도로 평가하고져한다. 방사선량과 체적크기에 민감한 병렬반응구조 (Parallel architecture)로 구성된 장기중 발생빈도가 많은 간종양을 대상으로 업체조형치료방법에 따른 체적선량분포도 (Dose Volume Histogram)를 3차원 방사선치료계획 컴퓨터(ADAC-Pinnacle #3)를 이용하여 계산하고 각 선량에 대한 체적분포를 판별이 쉽도록 도표화하였다. 종양치유확율(Tumor Control Probability)과 정상조직 손상확율(Normal Tissue complication Probability)은 방사선량에 대한 세포생존곡선의 오차함수 (error function)를 기본수식으로하고 선량 체적인자를 삽입한 반실험식으로 구성되었으며 실효선량 또는 실효체적에 따라 각각 계산하였다. 정상간의 실질적 손상을 관찰하기 위하여 방사선치료를 받은 환자의 통계와 계획적 연구를 위하여 황구를 이용하였다. 방사선조사방법은 대항2문, 쐐기 3문, 4문 회전업체치료와 비회전축 5문입체조형치료로 구분하였으며 업체조형치료는 컴퓨터 조종형 선형가속기 (Varian Clinac-2100C/D)와 다엽콜리메이터(Multi Leaf Collimator, MLC-52LS)를 이용하였다. 방사선조사방법에 따른 체적선량분포 (DVH)는 종양과 주위건강조직에대한 체적과 방사선량을 직관적으로 판단할수있었다. 간종양의 방사선치료에서 TCP와 NTCP 의 체적인자는 0.32를 이용하였고 대항2문 입체치료 및 5문입체치료에서 종양중심선량 50Gy일 때 종양의 TCP는 각각 0.763과 0.793 이였으며 정상간의 NTCP는 각각 0.156와 0.008로서 수치상 완전 구별이 가능하였고 종양 투여 선량이 70Gy 일 때 종양의 TCP 는 각각 0.982 와 0.995로서 종양치유에 충분한 선량이며 정상간의 NTCP 는 각각 0.725 와 0.142로서 현저한 차이가 있었다. 간손상은 간염유발을 기준으로 하였으며 간손상정도와 NTCP의 관계는 상호비례하였고 일정한 발기점(Threshold value)을 구할수 있었다. DVH 와 확율적 수학식인 TCP, NTCP 동은 방사선치료성과를 판단할 수 있는 정량적분석방법으로 가능성이 있다고 생각된다. 또한 건강조직을 최대한 보호하고 종양에 집중 방사선을 조사할 수 있는 입체조형치료는 간, 폐, 신장등 방사선 병렬반응장기에 적합하며 DVH와 TCP, NTCP등 수학적 척도를 이용하여 평가함으로서 치료성과의 예측, 종양선량의 증가(Dose escalation), 방사선수술의 지표 및 방사선치료의 질적상황을 정량적 숫치로 평가할 수 있어 방사선치료성과 향상에 기여 할 수 있다고 생각한다.

To gain an insight into the function of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in insects during thermal stress, three HSP cDNAs were identified in the transcriptome of adult Heortia vitessoides, one of the most destructive defoliating pests in Aquilaria sinensis (Loureiro) Sprenger forests. The open reading frames of HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 were 1,719, 2,070, and 2,151 bp in length, respectively, and encoded proteins with molecular weights of 61.05, 75.02, and 82.23 kDa, respectively. Sequence analysis revealed that all three HSPs were highly conserved in structure. Regarding the stage-specific expression profiles, HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 mRNAs were detected in all developmental stages. Regarding the tissue-specific expression profiles, the expression levels of the three HSP genes were different in various larval and adult tissues. Moreover, the expression patterns of heat-stressed larvae, pupae, and adults indicated that HvHsp60, HvHsp70, and HvHsp90 were heat-inducible. In particular, HvHsp60 transcripts increased dramatically in larvae and pupae that were heat-stressed at $40^{\circ}C$ and were upregulated in adults that were heat-stressed at $35^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$. The expression of HvHsp70 significantly increased in all of the three different developmental stages at $35^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$. The expression of HvHsp90 obviously increased at $30^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, and $40^{\circ}C$ in larvae and could be induced at $35^{\circ}C$ in pupae and adults. The results suggest that HSP60, HSP70, and HSP90 play a major role in protecting H. vitessoides against high-temperature stress.

Various simulator systems for surgery training have been developed and recently become more widely utilized with technology advancement and change in medical education adopting actively simulation-based training. The authors have developed tissue-instrument interaction modeling and graphical simulation algorithms for an arthroscopic surgery training simulator system. In this paper, we propose algorithms for basic surgical techniques, such as cutting, shaving, drilling, grasping, suturing and knot tying for rotator cuff surgery. The proposed method constructs a virtual 3-dimensional model from actual patient data and implements a real-time deformation of the surgical object model through interaction between ten types of arthroscopic surgical tools and a surgical object model. The implementation is based on the Simulation Open Framework Architecture (SOFA, Inria Foundation, France) and custom algorithms were implemented as pulg-in codes. Qualitative review of the developed results by physicians showed both feasibility and limitations of the system for actual use in surgery training.

Radioprotective effects of ginger essential oil (GEO) on mortality, body weight alteration, hematological parameters, antioxidant status and chromosomal damage were studied in irradiated mice. Regression analysis of survival data in mice exposed to radiation yielded LD50/30 as 7.12 and 10.14 Gy for control (irradiation alone) and experimental (GEO-treated irradiated) mice, respectively, with a dose reduction factor (DRF) of 1.42. In mice exposed to whole-body gamma-irradiation (6 Gy), GEO pre-treatment at 100 and 500 mg/kg b.wt (orally) significantly ameliorated decreased hematological and immunological parameters. Radiation induced reduction in intestinal tissue antioxidant enzyme levels such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione was also reversed following administration of GEO. Tissue architecture of small intestine which was damaged following irradiation was improved upon administration of GEO. Anticlastogenic effects of GEO were studied by micronuclei assay, chromosomal aberration and alkaline gel electrophoresis assay. GEO significantly decreased the formation of micronuclei, increased the P/N ratio, inhibited the formation of chromosomal aberrations and protected agaisnt cellular DNA damage in bone marrow cells as revealed by comet assay. These results are supportive of use of GEO as a potential radioprotective compound.

The accurate segmentation of infant brain MR image into white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is very important for early studying of brain growing patterns and morphological changes in neurodevelopmental disorders. Because of inherent myelination and maturation process, the WM and GM of babies (between 6 and 9 months of age) exhibit similar intensity levels in both T1-weighted (T1w) and T2-weighted (T2w) MR images in the isointense phase, which makes brain tissue segmentation very difficult. We propose a deep network architecture based on U-Net, called Triple Residual Multiscale Fully Convolutional Network (TRMFCN), whose structure exists three gates of input and inserts two blocks: residual multiscale block and concatenate block. We solved some difficulties and completed the segmentation task with the model. Our model outperforms the U-Net and some cutting-edge deep networks based on U-Net in evaluation of WM, GM and CSF. The data set we used for training and testing comes from iSeg-2017 challenge (http://iseg2017.web.unc.edu).
