Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the leading cause of preventable physical and intellectual disabilities. This study aimed to assess the incidence and clinical characteristics of CH in newborns. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all newborns delivered at the Pusan National University Hospital between January 2011 and March 2021. The incidence of CH was compared according to gestational age, birth weight, and small for gestational age (SGA). The patients aged ≥3 years who could not maintain normal thyroid function and required levothyroxine treatment were diagnosed with permanent CH. Logistic regression analysis was performed to compare CH risks. Results: Of 3,722 newborns, 40 were diagnosed with CH (1.07%). Gestational age and birth weight were significantly associated with CH incidence. The odds ratios (ORs) of CH in infants delivered at 32-37, 28-31, and <28 weeks were 2.568 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.141-5.778), 5.917 (95% CI, 2.264-15.464), and 7.441 (95% CI, 2.617-21.159) times higher, respectively, than those delivered at term. The ORs of CH in infants weighing 1,500-2,499 g, 1,000-1,499 g, and <1,000 g were 4.664 (95% CI, 1.928-11.279), 11.076 (95% CI, 4.089-29.999), and 12.544 (95% CI, 4.350-36.176) times greater, respectively, than those in infants weighing ≥2,500 g. The OR of CH was 6.795 (95% CI, 3.553-13.692) times greater in SGA than in non-SGA infants. Conclusion: The CH incidence in South Korea has increased significantly compared with that in the past. Gestational age, birth weight, and SGA were significantly associated with CH incidence.

The modifying effects of Chelidonium majus L/(Papaeracea)herb extract(CH) ,and analgesic traditionally prescribed for gastric and duodenal ulcer patients, on gastric tumor development given Ν-methyl-Ν'-nitro-Ν-nitrosogyanidine(MNNG) were studied in sixty-four 6 week-old male Wistar rats. Group 1 rats were ini-tially given MNNG(200mg/kg b/w.) by gavage ar days 0 and 14 as well as saturated sodium chloride solution(S-NaCI, 1ml per rat) every 3 days during weeks 0 to 3(6 times) and then placed on basal diet containing 0.1 or 0.2% CH ofr 16 weeks from week 4. Rats of Groups 2 and 3 were treated with MNNG together with S-NaCI or saline(0.9% NaCI, 21ml per rat) respectively, timed as in Group 1 but without further treatment. All survival animals were killed at week 20 and histopathologically investigate. in the glandular stomach, the number of preneoplastic pepsinogen 1 altered pyloric glands(PAPGs) in the MNNG+S-NaCI→CH(0.1%) group(Group 1) was significantly smaller than in the MNNG+S-NaCI group(Group 2)(p<0.02). The inci-dences of forestomach neoplastic lesions (Papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas)also showed a tendency for decrease with the CH treatment. The results thus indicate that C"H exerts inhibitory effects on glandular for decrease with the CH treatment. The results thus indicate that CH exerts inhibitory effects on glandular stomach carcinogenesis in the rat, so that it may have potential as a chemopreventive agent for stomach cancer in man.

$SiC_{4}$$C_{3}$$H_{ 8}$$H_{2}$와 $C_{3}$$H_{8}$ $H_{2}$, $CH_{3}$$SiCI_{3}$$CH_{4}$$H_{2}$계를 사용하여 흑연기판 위에 SiC와 SiC/C FGM을 CVD법에 의해 코팅하였다. $SiCI_{4}$$C_{3}$$H_{8}$ $H_{2}$ 계에서 SiC 증착 시 바람직한 수소의 비는 10-30사이였고 결정 배향성은 입력가스의 탄소비에 따라 여러번의 대 반전이 일어났다. 성장조건을 {111} 배향성을 갖도록 조절하는 것이 FGM층간 접착상태를 증진시킬 수 있는 방법으로 판단되었다. $CH_{3}$$SiCI_{3}$C$_{3}$$H_{8}$ $H_{2}$ 계에서는 SiC와 C의 비율을 조절하기가 $SiCI_{4}$$C_{3}$$H_{8} $H_{2}$계를 사용했을 때 보다 용이하였고, FGM 단면 관찰에서 층간의 뚜렷한 경계를 발견할 수 없을 정도로 우수한 층간 접착상태를 보였다.

In this study, planer inductively coupled $Cl_2$ based plasmas were used to etch InGaN and the effects of plasma conditions on the InGaN etch properties have been characterized using quadrupole mass spectrometry(QMS) and optical emission spectroscopy(OES). As process conditions used to study the effects of plasma characteristics on the InGaN etch properties, $Cl_2$ was used as the main etch gas and $CHF_3,{\;}CH_4$, and Ar were used as additive gases. Operational pressure was varied from SmTorr to 3OmTorr, inductive power and bias voltage were varied from 400W to 800W and -50V to -250V, respectively while the substrate temperature was fixed at 50 centigrade. For the $Cl_2$ plasmas, selective etching of GaN to InGaN was obtained regardless of plasma conditions. The small addition of $CHF_3$ or Ar to $Cl_2$ and the decrease of pressure generally increased InGaN etch rates. The selective etching of InGaN to GaN could be obtained by the reduction of pressure to l5mTorr in $CI_2/IO%CHF_3{\;}or{\;}CI_2/IO%Ar$ plasma. The enhancement of InGaN etch rates was related to the ion bombardment for $CI_2/Ar$ plasmas and the formation of $CH_x$ radicals for $CI_2/CHF_3(CH_4)$ plasmas.

Background: Cold hypersensitivity (CH) and sleep disorders are not limited to patients with specific diseases, as they are also commonly observed in the general population. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between CH and sleep quality. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from a cohort of 5,052 individuals living in South Korea. Based on the results of a questionnaire on CH, the participants were classified into four groups: non-CH, CH in the hands (CHH), CH in the feet (CHF), and CH in the hands and feet (CHHF). Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Multiple regression was used for groupwise comparisons of total PSQI scores and the scores for each component, and logistic regression was used to find the odds ratios of being a "poor sleeper" (PSQI≥8.5). Results: The CHF and CHHF groups showed significantly higher scores than the non-CH group on the overall PSQI as well as on the following sleep components: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbance, and sleep medication use. The odds ratios for being a "poor sleeper" were significant in the CHF (1.84; CI=1.38-2.43) and CHHF groups (1.54; CI=1.25-1.89), but the CHH group did not show any difference from the non-CH group. We identified a correlation between CH in the feet and poor sleep quality. Conclusions: These findings help to elucidate the relationship between sleep and CH and highlight the need to clarify the underlying mechanism.

소량의 $CH_3Cl$ 기체를 첨가한 $C_2H_6-O_2-Ar$ 혼합 기체의 점화 지연 시간을 반사 충격파 이후의 온도가 1270∼1544 K인 범위에서 측정하였다. 실험 결과 $CH_3Cl$ 기체가 $C_2H_6$ 기체의 점화 과정을 지연시킴을 알 수 있었고, $CH_3Cl$ 기체의 농도가 증가함에 따라 점화 지연 시간이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 $C_2H_6-CH_3Cl-O_2-Ar$ 혼합 기체에서 $CH_3Cl$ 기체의 점화 억제 효과를 반응 메카니즘 시각으로 살펴보기 위하여 컴퓨터를 이용한 모의 실험을 수행하였다.

Objectives : Assuming that the characteristic of meridian system has been similar to this of electric potentials in human body and that measurements of electric potential at well(井穴) and sea(合穴) points in branches of the twelve meridians will be representative of measurements of the twelve meridians, to measure the electric potentials in three patient groups with arrhythmia(AP group), with arrhythmia and cerebral infarction(CI group), and with arrhythmia and hemorrhage(CH group), and then to find out the characteristic of meridian system among 3 groups. Methods : Thirty arrhythmic patients diagnosed by EKG, CT, and deficiency of the heart blood(心血虛症) were divided into 3 groups(AP, CI, CH group). Their electric potential of well and sea points in the meridians were measured 3 times by physiograph. Results : Measurements were analyzed by statistical factor analysis, we obtained that the left side electric potential of well and sea points in branches of the twelves meridians in AP group was divided into two factors, which were the hand meridian without the lung meridian, the foot meridian and the lung meridian, but the right side electric potential was divided into the hand and the foot meridian. In CH group both the left and the right side electric potential was divided into three factors. In CI group the left side electric potential was divided into three factors, but the right side electric potential was divided into two factors. Conclusions : In conclusion, their electrical potentials were different each other among 3 groups. Thus electrical potentials of well and sea points might be the representative meridian to show their characteristics.

본 실험에서는 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 photoresist(PR)와 octadecyltrichlorosilane(OST, CH3((CH2)17SiCI3)를 입혀서 UV/zone 처리를 어떻게 유기물질들이 UV/zone과 반응하여, 어떻게 표면에서 제거되는지를 in-line으로 연결된 XPS로 분석하고 반응시킨 표면들의 거칠기(roughness)를 AFM을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 실험결과 상온에서 UV/zone 처리를 했을 경우, PR과 OTS같은 유기물질이 표면에서 산화되는 것을 알 수 있었으나 이들이 제거되지 않고 표면에 그대로 남아있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 가열하면서(PR:$250^{\circ}C$, ORS:$100^{\circ}C$)UV/ozone 처리를 하였을 경우 표면에서 산화됨과 동시에 이들 산화물들이 표면에서 제거됨을 알 수 있었다. XPS 분석으로부터 이들의 산화반응물은 PR과 OTS 모두 -CH2-, -CH2O-, =C=O, -COO-를 가지는 것으로 나타났으며, 열에너지에 의해서 이들이 표면에서 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. AFM 분석결과는 상온에서 UV/ozone 처리를 하였을 경우에 표면의 거칠기가 적은 반면, 가열하면서 UV/o-zone처리를 하였을 경우에는 표면의 거칠기가 다소 증가하였다.
