이 논문에서는 가산성 잡음과 신호 의존성 잡음이 바라는 신호와 섞일 때, 약한 복합신호를 검파하는 국소 최적 검파기의 검정 통계량을 얻었다. 순가산성 잡음 분만 아니라 비가산성 잡음도 고려하기 위하여 일반화된 관측 모델을 사용하였다. 알려진 신호, 확률 신호, 그리고 신호 의존성 잡음 성분의 상대적인 크기의 모든 경우에 대하여 국소 최적 검정통계량을 얻었다. 또한, 국소 최적 검파기의 얼개를 그림으로 나타냈다.

A few authors have reported good clinical results using double crown removable partial denture (RPD) with a few remaining teeth. Hybrid telescopic double crown is a good indication for a patient with poor periodontal condition and/or few remaining teeth after extraction, especially located in cross-arch position. In this case, there was a poor periodontal condition with teeth mobility. Several teeth with poor prognosis were extracted. Remaining anterior teeth was restored with fixed prostheses and edentulism was restored with Kennedy class I removable partial denture in maxilla. In mandible, it was hard to restore with clasp removable partial prostheses because of bilaterally isolated remaining teeth so that hybrid double crown removable partial denture with friction pin was suitable for this case. The objective of this report is to discuss the characteristics and the utility of hybrid double crown prostheses using a few remaining teeth in mandible.

Purpose : Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS) is known to have a poor prognosis and a poor response to treatment. We performed a combination therapy of plasmapheresis, steroid pulse and immunoglobulin in 4 patients with relapsed steroid dependent(SD) or steroid resistant(SR) FSGS after steroid pulse therapy. Materials and Methods : 8 cycles of plasmapheresis were performed in 4 patients with biopsy proven FSGS who had relapsed after steroid pulse therapy from March 1988 to July 2002. Clinical findings and treatment courses were reviewed retrospectively. Results : Among the 4 patients, there were 3 males and 1 female. After 8 cycles of plasmapheresis, clinical remissions were obtained. Two of the four patients had two relapses and received 2 more cycles of plasmapheresis which resulted in remissions. One of these patients had two further relapses and was treated with oral steroid resulting in clinical remission. Three patients have maintained normal serum creatinine level and glomerular filtration rates during the follow-up period of 10 years, and the other 1 patient for 5 months. Conclusion : A combination therapy of plasmapheresis, steroid pulse and immunoglobulin led to a complete remission in patients with FSGS who were SD or SR and was effective in maintaining normal renal function.

The localized form of subaortic stenosis shows a spectrum of pathological lesions varing from dis- crete membrane to a thickened flbromuscular collar. Aortic valve is commonly involved late in the pro- cess resulting in regurgitation. Because of the likelihood o the progressive obstruction and aortic regurgitation, early elective oper- ation should be considered for the patient with subaortic stenosis. We experienced a case of localized fibromuscular subaortic stenosis associated with aortic regurgi- tation. Excision of the fibromuscular ridge and septal myectomy-myotomy relieved the subaortic seen- osis. Regurgitant aortic valve was repaired by peeling away the Hbrotic tissue on the cusps and subcommissural annuloplasty at the each commissural area. On postoperative echocardiographic examination, the systolic pressure gradient between left ventricle and aorta decreased markedly and the aortic regurgitation was not detected at all.

Local linear estimator has a number of advantages over the traditional kernel estimators. The better performance near boundaries is one of them. However, local linear estimator can produce erratic result in sparse regions in the realization of the design and to solve this problem much research has been done. Local linear quasi-likelihood estimator has many common properties with local linear estimator, and it turns out that sparse design can also lead local linear quasi-likelihood estimator to erratic behavior in practice. Several methods to solve this problem are proposed and their finite sample properties are compared by the simulation study.

영상 데이타는 전송, 검출 및 처리과정에서 여러 잡음에 의해 훼손될 수 있다. 적응성 가중 메디안 필터라는 공간변화 필터를 사용하여 X-선 산란 잡음을 제거하였다. 제안된 필터는 처리 윈도우 내 각 픽셀의 국소 통계치의 변화에 따라 필터의 성능이 변화하여 에너지를 최대한 보존하면서 잡음만을 제거하고자 이러한 국소 통계값에 근거한 적응성 가중 메디안 필터(AWMF)를 제시한다. AWMF를 구현함에 있어 두 가지 방법으로 나뉘는데, 우선 국소 통계의 특성에

Acute lobar nephronia is a focal of acute bacterial nephritis, affecting one or more of the renal lobules. Nephronia is being diagnosed more frequently in accordance with the advancing imaging techniques of urinary tract. We report a case of acute nephronia in a 4 month old boy who presented persisting urinary tract infection after intial antibiotic treatment. Ultrasonography and computerized tomography showed round wedge-shaped, non-enhancing mass in right kidney. Gallium scan also revealed the lesion in the right kidney. This lesion resolved completely on one month follow up examinations. (J. Korean Soc Pediatr Nephrol 5 : 73- 7, 2001)

Purpose: Regional contractility can be calculated using the regional volume change of left ventricle measured by gated myocardial SPECT image and curve of central artery pressure obtained from radial artery pressure data. In this study, a program to obtain the regional contractility was developed, and reproducibility of regional contractility measurement was assessed. Materials and Methods: Seven patients(male:female=5:2, $58{\pm}11.9$ years) with coronary artery diseases underwent gated Tc-99m MIBI myocardial SPECT twice without delay between two scans. Regional volume change of left ventricle was estimated using CSA (Cardiac SPECT Analyzer) software developed in this study. Regional contractility was iteratively estimated from the time-elastance curve obtained using the time-pressure curve and regional time-volume curve. Reproducibility of regional contractility measurement assessed by comparing the contractility values measured twice from the same SPECT data and by comparing those measured from the pair of SPECT data obtained from a same patient. Results: Measured regional contractility was $3.36{\pm}3.38{mm}Hg/mL$ using 15-segment model, $3.16{\pm}2.25{mm}Hg/mL$ using 7-segment model, and $3.11{\pm}2.57{mm}Hg/mL$ using 5-segment model. The harmonic average of regional contractility value was almost identical to the global contractility. Correlation coefficient of regional contractility values measured twice from the same data was greater than 0.97 for all models, and two standard deviations of contractility difference on Bland Altman plot were 1.5%, 1.0%, and 0.9% for 15-, 7-, and 5-segment models, respectively. Correlation coefficient of regional contractility values measured from the pair of SPECT data obtained from a same patient was greater than 0.95 for all models, and two standard deviations on Bland Altman plot were 2.2%, 1.0%, and 1.2%. Conclusion: Regional contractility of left ventricle measured using developed software in this study was reproducible. Regional contractility of left ventricle will be a new useful index for myocardial function after analysis of the clinical data.

서론: 국소 진행성 두경부암 환자에서 선행 항암요법 후 동시 항암화학방사선요법은 원격 전이를 줄이고, 국소병변을 줄여 방사선 치료의 효과를 높이거나, 기관의 기능을 보존할 목적으로 시도된다. 선행 항암요법의 약제로 는 docetaxel, cisplatin, fluorouracil (DPF) 삼제요법이 가장 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 선행 항암요법 후 동시 항암화학방사선요법과 표준치료인 동시화학방사선요법을 비교한 3상 연구들이 모두 선행 항암요법이 더 낫다는 결과를 보여 주지 못하였지만, 이 연구들은 충분한 환자를 모집하지 못하고 조기 종료된 불완전한 연구라는 한계가 있었다. 이에 저자들은 DPF 선행 항암요법 후 동시 화학방사선요법과 표준치료인 동시 화학방사선요법을 비교하는 메타분석을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 체계적 문헌고찰을 통해 국소진행성 두경부암 환자를 대상으로 시행된 DPF 선행 항암요법 후 동시화학방사선요법과 현재 표준치료인 동시화학방사선요법을 비교한 5개의 3상 연구 결과를 분석하였다. 대상환자는 862 명이었고, 분석 결과 DPF 선행 항암요법 후 동시화학방사선요법은 표준치료와 비교하였을 때 반응률, 2년 및 3년 생존율, 2년 및 3년 무진행 생존율, 점막염 및 빈혈 발생 빈도에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 하지만, 완전관해율과 3~4도의 백혈구감소증 및 혈소판 감소증의 빈도는 선행 항암요법 시행군에서 더 높았다. 결론: 국소진행성 두경부암의 치료에서 DPF 선행 항암요법 후 동시 항암화학방사선요법을 시행하는 것은 표준치료인 항암화학방사선요법에 비해 생존율 개선을 보이지 못하였다. 선행항암치료를 추가하는 것이 특정 환자군에서 효과가 있을지에 대해서는 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign proliferative disorder of the synovium of joints. It occurs most commonly in the knee joint. The disease is composed of 2 different forms: diffuse and localized. The localized form is less frequent than the diffuse one. Most cases of localized PVNS involve the anterior compartment of the knee and can be usually easily diagnosed and treated with arthroscopy. We experienced a patient of localized PVNS developed on the posterior cruciate ligament, whose main symptom was persistent pain after trauma. This case occurs rarely and complete removal of the lesion was performed arthroscopically, using posterior trans-septal portal. We report this case with review of literatures.
