Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the results of using a locking compression plate and an unlocked plate for treating proximal humeral fractures. Materials and Methods: This study was based on 20 patients who underwent plate fixation for proximal humeral fractures out of the 87 patients with proximal humeral fractures and who were admitted from 2003 to 2007 in our hospital. Of the 20 patients, 10 were treated with a locking compression plate and the other 10 were treated with an unlocked plate. Each group was evaluated according to the humeral neck shaft angle, the period until bony union, the complications and the Constant score. The humeral neck shaft angle was based on plain x-rays taken immediately after the operation and at 6 months postoperatively. The Constant score was evaluated on the last visit to our clinic. Results: There was no significant statistical difference between the two groups in terms of the neck shaft angle, the period until bony union and the Constant score. Yet, there were three cases of screw migration in the unlocked plate group. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the neck shaft angle, the period until bony union and the Constant score. The locking compression plate is considered to achieve more effective fixation for proximal humerus fractures because there were less complications such as screw migration.

이 연구에서는 수심적분된 이차원 비정상 수치모형인 KU-RLMS 모형의 잠김/드러남 기법을 개선하고, 기존의 WAD 기법과 새로 도입한 기법의 정확도 평가를 수행하였다. 기존의 WAD 기법은 수학적으로는 다소 불완전하지만 수치적으로는 손쉬운 방법으로써, 각 시간 단계에서 잠긴 격자 또는 드러난 격자를 시험하고, 각 격자의 경계에서 플럭스에 대한 개폐 조건을 적용하는 방법을 사용하였다. 개선된 기법은 WAD 경계에서의 질량보존을 고려하는 방법이다. 두 가지 잠김/드러남 처리 과정의 정확도 비교는 포물형 수조에 대한 해석해와 수치모형의 결과를 비교하는 방법을 사용하였다. 기존에 WAD 기법은 수치해와 해석해의 위상차가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있으며, 진폭은 조금씩 감소하는 현상이 나타났지만, 개선된 기법을 사용할 경우 위상차와 진폭감소 현상이 현저히 개선됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we attempted a qualitative understanding of mutual injection locking without rigorous mathematics, and analyzed the proposed mutual injection locked light source. Also, a low-cost WDM-PON light source based on mutual injection locking using two unpolarized Fabry-Perot Laser Diodes (F-P LDs), was implemented. The RIN (Relative Intensity Noise) characteristic for the wavelength change of the F-P LD was measured, and when the variable wavelength range was 2.07 nm, it showed a RIN of at least -110 dB/Hz.

In the FE analysis of sheet metal forming, efficient results can be obtained by using shell elements rather than using solid elements. However, shell elements have some limitations to describe three-dimensional material laws. In the recent years, solid-shell element, which has only translational degree of freedom like solid element, has been presented. The assumed nature strain (ANS) and enhanced assumed strain (EAS) methods can be used to remove several solid-shell locking problems. In this paper, ANS method was used for diminish transverse shear locking and EAS method for thickness locking. Using the element, the steel pipe making process from flat plate analyzed effectively, which is including bending and welding.

Purpose: To evaluate the result and complication of treatment using Locking Compression Plate (LCP) for fracture of proximal humerus. Materials and Methods: Between 2004 and 2006, 21 patients with two-part and three-part fractures of the proximal humerus were treated by LCP fixation. Their average age was 54.9 years. Postoperative mean follow-up period was 22.9 months. The reduction was qualified and complication were assessed with final radiographs. The functional outcome was evaluated by Neer's rating system. Results: By Neer's functional evaluation, mean score of shoulder function was 86.3 and 18 case (86%) had excellent or satisfactory results. There was one case of nonunion but no infection or avascular necrosis of the humeral head. No correlation was found between the final result and the type of fracture, age, gender or quality of reduction. Conclusion: We obtained satisfactory result of LCP fixation for fracture of proximal humerus in this study. LCP fixation for proximal humerus fracture is a reliable method to obtain satisfactory reduction, rigid fixation and early exercise.

파장이 길고 에너지가 낮은 근적외선 영역 광자 두 개를 동시에 여기했다가 형광으로 방출하는 비선형 현상을 이용한 이광자 현미경은 살아있는 세포를 넘어 생체조직 깊은 곳에서 일어나는 생물학적 변화 관찰 및 3차원 이미지 해석이 가능한 매우 효과적인 장비이다. 그러나 상용화된 이광자 현미경은 매우 고가이고 응용의 다양성을 위한 구조적 변형이 매우 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 모드잠김 이터븀 광섬유 레이저를 이용하여 비용 효율이 높고 다루기 쉬운 이광자 현미경을 구현 하고자 한다.

In this study, we conducted flume experiments to investigate the three-dimensional flow structures around a half-submerged spur dike in a straight open channel flume. The experiments were carried out under the two different Froude numbers, 0.10 and 0.18. The results were compared with the previous experimental result conducted for non-submerged spur dike. Three-dimensional instantaneous velocities were measured using Acoustic Doppler Velocimetry (ADV) and water elevation data were collected using ultra sonic distance sensor. The results show that submergence conditions of the spur dike largely influence the three-dimensional flow structures around a spur dike.

We show theoretically that the performance characteristics of an external cavity semiconductor laser, such as frequency locking and frequency noise reduction, can be greatly improved by just inserting a high finesse Fabry-Perrot(F-P) etalon inside the external reflector. For example, when the F-P etalon of finesse 30 and optical thickness 1.5cm is inserted inside the external cavity of length 3.0cm, the frequency locking accuracy and the linewidth reduction ration are increased up to 7.6 times and 86 times respectively compared with the conventional external-cavity laser under the same operation condition.

In the present paper, formulation of a nine-node assumed strain shell element is modified and extended for analysis of actuator embedded/attached structures. The shell element can alleviate locking and has sic DOFs per node by discarding assumption of no thickness change. In modeling of the physicalquantities, we have assumed linear strain field through the whole thickness direction. The electric and mechanical quantities have been coupled through the constitutive equations. Unlike typical shell element, the present shell element allows thickness change. Thus, three-dimensional piezoelasticity can be accurately simulated. Base on the formulation, a finite element program is generated and the code is validated by solving numerical examples. The results from the present work are well agreed with those from other references.

Purpose: To compare the clinical and radiological result of arthroscopic Mattress Locking suture repair to that of a Simple suture repair with small and medium-sized rotator cuff tears. Materials and Methods: Among 92 patients who were followed up after arthroscopic repair in patients with small and medium-sized rotator cuff tear from April 2007 to October 2010, 27 patients who took Arthroscopic Mattress Locking suture were set as group I and 65 patients who took Simple suture were set as Group II. The average age of patients were 58 years old and average follow-up period was 30 months. For analysis, VAS, ASES and KSS were used to analyze the range of joint movement and pain. And, for the image result, MRI performed after operation were evaluated. Results: The average VAS, KSS, UCLA score and ASES prior to surgery improved in the last follow-up (p<0.001), while was no difference in two groups (p>0.001). In MRI follow-up examination, the 2 cases (7.41%) of group 1 showed increased rupture lesions with improved symptoms. And the 12 cases (18.47%) of group 2 showed increased rupture lesions with improved symptoms. Retears in the group I were significant less than the group II (p<0.001). Conclusion: Comparing patients with small and medium-sized rotator cuff tear who took arthroscopic mattress locking suture repair to those who took simple suture repair after over one year follow up period, the clinical result showed no significant difference between two groups. However, Mattress Locking suture repair showed excellent radiological result compared to simple suture repair when comparing rerupture.
