Hypercholesterolemia is associated with many pathological states such as fat deposit in the tendon and skin, hepatomegaly, pancreatitis and heart attack. The present study was focused on the effect of Korean red ginseng water extract (RGWE) on the recovery of hepatic function that was deteriorated in high-cholesterol diet fed mice. Mice were divided into 6 groups ; normal diet group (AIN-2WK), 4 week-high-cholesterol diet group (CHOL-4WK), 2 week-high-cholesterol + 2 week-normal diet group (CHOL-2WK), 2 week-high-cholesterol + 2 week-normal diet + RGWE treated group (R100, R300, R500). RGWE treated group received normal diet and RGWE at daily doses of 100, 300, 500 mg/kg b.w. for 2 weeks after the 2 weeks feeding of high-cholesterol diet. The results are as follows : 1. The hepatic weight and total hepatic lipid weight were markedly lower in RGWE treated group than those in the CHOL-4WK or CHOL-2WK group, indicating that ginseng inhibited hepatic hypertrophy. 2. Total hepatic cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol in normal diet conversion group (CHOL-2WK) were significantly reduced compared with the high cholesterol group (CHOL-4WK). The lowering effect was significantly reinforced by RGWE administration. 3. Hepatic triglyceride level of CHOL-4WK group was markedly lower than that of the normal group (AIN-2WK). However, the level was significantly increased in CHOL-2WK and RGWE treated group. The result indicated that ginseng administration and diet conversion exert normalizing effects of hepatic function. 4. The lipid peroxide levels in RGWE treated groups were markedly lower than CHOL-2WK group. These results suggest that Korean red ginseng water extract can be useful as a dietary supplement for the treatment of obesity or hypercholesterolemia by improving lipid metabolism and hepatic function.

Purpose : Hyperbilirubinemia, jaundice and gallbladder hydrops are unusual manifestations of Kawasaki disease (KD). In this case, abdominal pain, anorexia and abdominal distension may follow eventfully. We reviewed the clinical and laboratory data to investigate the causative factors of hyperbilirubinemia in patients with KD. Methods : Two-hundred eighty two children diagnosed and hospitalized with KD were identified by searching patients' charts. Cases were included in the study if diagnosed between January 1997 and December 2004. We reviewed clinical data, age, sex, duration from the onset of fever to admission and duration from start of treatment to defervescence. Clinical and laboratory data were compared between normal (A) and hyperbilirubinemia (B) groups. Results : Thirteen patients (4.6 percent) showed hyperbilirubinemia. In the hyperbilirubinemia group, age and initial ALT value were higher than group A (P=0.003, 0.018 respectively). Duration from the onset of fever to admission and age were relative risk factors in hyperbilirubinemia (P=0.007, 0.003 respectively) in patients with KD. Conclusion : Shorter duration from the onset of fever to admission and older age group were relative risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in patients with KD.

The present study was conducted to identify the factors related to the hypertension, and to offer the evidence of 1st prevention of hypertension. 2,230 male workers aged 30-59 years were observed the relationships between hypertension and age, BMI, glucose intolerance, smoking, alcohol drinking, regular exercise, eating habits using data from health check-ups in 2011. As a results, the incidence rate of hypertension was 18.8% of 30-39 year old group, 23.8% of 40-49 year old group, 33.0% of 40-49 year old group. The incidence rate of hypertension was significantly higher as age and BMI ascend, and it was higher in the group of abnormal glucose intolerance, regular alcohol intake, no regular exercise than their respective counterparts. The multivariable-adjusted odds ratio of hypertension increased significantly as there is an increase in age, and the group of abnormal glucose intolerance, smoking, regular alcohol intake, no regular exercise. In conclusion, obesity, glucose intolerance, alcohol intake, and physical inactivity are risk factors for hypertension, therefore we need the control of these factors for 1st prevention of hypertension.

목적 : 고감도 형광판과 필름을 이용하여 실시간으로 선량을 측정하여 IMRT 선량분포를 검증하는데 사용하는 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 본 연구에서 개발한 물팬텀은 지름 25cm 아크릴 원통과 원통의 중앙부분에 삽입되는 고감도 형광판으로 구성되어 있다. 이를 사용하여 dose linearity correction factor를 구하기 위해 dmax 지점에서 6MV x-ray를 고감도형광판에 조사하여 blurring correction factor를 구하였다. CCD를 이용하여 고감도 형광판에서 나오는 영상을 수집하였다. 고감도 형광판에서 수집한 영상의 x축 profile은 RTP에서 얻은 profile과 비교하였고, 이온전리함으로 scanning한 데이터를 이용하여 고감도 형광판과 물에서 빛에 의한 산란선 때문에 발생하는 blurring effect를 교정하였다. 여기서 계산된 blurring effect factor를 고감도 형광판에서 수집된 영상에 적용하였다. 결과 : CCD 카메라는 형광판의 전 영역을 감지할 수 있고, 조사시간은 형광판의 중첩된 영상의 선량에 비례하였다. 물팬텀에서 형광판의 blurring effect 는 가우시안 분포로 표현할 수 있었다. 또한 Deconvolution kernel은 원통 팬텀에서 지름 $\pm$5cm 이내의 범위에 위치하였고, 따라서 형광판 영상으로부터의 실제 선량분 포를 뽑아낼 수 있었다. RTP 에서 계산된 선량분포와 blurring correction factor로 교정한 후 중첩시켜 얻은 고감도 형광판 영상의 선량분포는 일치하였다. 결론 : 정기적인 IMRT 선량 검증에 대한 실시간 선량측정 방법이 개발되었다. 고감도 형광판 영상과 CCD 카메라를 사용한 물팬텀으로, IMRT 치료계획에 대한 선량분포를 검증할 수 있는 가능성을 보였다.비의 회전에 의한 오차 보정, 필름의 광학적 밀도에 관한 보정 등 여러 가지 계통적 오차들에 대한 보정들이 선량분포 확인과정의 이해와 그 기준마련에 도움이 되겠지만 우리가 다룬 원점 불일치에 비해서 상대적으로 무시할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 선량분포 확인의 최종목표인 3 차원 선량분포 확인의 실제 적용을 위한 연구가 최적화 알고리듬을 이용하여 실험 중에 있다.\times$5cm, 10$\times$10cm, 15$\times$l5cm, 20$\times$20cm인 경우, 측정하여 얻은 PSF가 0.8%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.2%로 약간 높지만, 두 값은 매우 유사한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 기존의 BSF를 이용해 구한 TAR과 BJR 25에서 권고하는 PSF를 이용해 구한 TAR을 비교한 결과 field size 에 따라 약 1%-1.5% 정도로 BSF를 이용하여 구한 TAR보다 PSF를 이용하여 구한 TAR이 1.3% 정도 높게 나타났지만, 이것은 두 값의 절대적인 차이일 뿐, 실제로는 PSF를 이용하여 구한 TAR이 측정해서 구한 TAR과는 매우 유사한 값을 보여주고 있다. 결론 : 기존의 BSF를 이용해 구한 TAR과 PSF를 이용해 구한 TAR을 비교하였을 때, 약 1.3% 정도 높게 내고 있지만, 기존의 TAR보다는 PSF를 이용해 구한 TAR이 BJR 25와 잘 일치하고 있으므로 Co-60 원격치료용 방사선 조사장치를 사용할 경우 BSF보다는 PSF를 사용하는 것이 타당한 것으로 사료된다.tokines의 변화는 비록 통계학적인 차이는 없지만 비타민 C를 사용한 환자의 cytokines이 모두 사용하지 않은 환자에 비해 감소하였음을 보였다. 비타민 C는 부작용이 거의 없는 안전한 약으로서 말기 암 환자에서 비타민 C사용은 임상 증상을 호전시키는 데 도움

This paper describes the design of a palette-type 60watt high power amplifier module using gallium nitride(GaN) devices with high power and efficiency performances for WiMAX and LTE systems. The line-up for the high gain amplifier module consists of the pre-amplifier stage with low power and high gain, 8watt GaN driving amplifier stage, and 60watt GaN high power amplifier stage of Doherty structure with two 30watt GaN devices. The obtained gain is 61.4dB with an excellent gain flatness of ${\pm}$0.075dB over 2.5~2.68GHz. GaN devices and the Doherty structure are adopted for the improvement of high efficiency and output power. The measurement for the fabricated high power amplifier module of palette type is performed using the widely known WiMAX signal all over the world. In the example of RRH(remote radio head) application of the fabricated amplifier module, the measured efficiency is 37~38% with the 10watts of modulated output power. It is shown that when the fabricated amplifier module is activated with a digital predistorter(DPD), the measured ACLR is better than 46dBc under the 10watts of modulated output power.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate effectiveness of hypertension prevention and management programs (HPMPs) in rural Korea. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted with 700 community health practitioners working at primary health care posts (PHCPs). The questionnaire had four domains, which were hypertension management, hypertension prevention, the PHCP environment, and evaluation system, each with different maximum weighted values (WVs). Weighted values of 100 indicate the best effectiveness for the HPMP in all four domains. Results: The average WVs and percent effectiveness of all four domains combined was 61.65 (62%); the hypertension management domain was 28.81 (72%); the hypertension prevention domain was 23.44 (67%); the PHCP environment was4.29(43%); and the evaluation system was5.10(34%). Conclusion: The HPMPs were generally effective, and hypertension management was the most effective. The environment of PHCPs and the evaluation system of HPMPs should be improved to increase the effectiveness of the HPMPs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine factors influencing health related quality of life(HRQOL) in patients with hypertension. Methods: This study carried out secondary analysis using the data from the $5^{th}$ Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Subject samples who were selected are 1,240 hypertension patients. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, traditional classic regression, and quantile regression. Results: Restriction of activity, depressive mood, and subjective health status had only significant effects on HRQOL(p<.001). After quantile regression, depressive mood and subjective health status had only significant at 20%(p<.001), 40%(p<.001), and 60%(p<.01) of HRQOL. Perceived stress(p<.001) and regular exercise(p<.01) had only significant at 20% of HRQOL. Current drinking status had only significant at 20%(p<.001) and 80%(p<.01) of HRQOL. Conclusions: Quantile regression maybe a better statistical tool in understanding the heterogeneous effect of hypertension patient's HRQOL as health outcome. Therefore interventions are needed for patients with hypertension to manage each of the factors affecting the patient's perceived health status by each quantile.
