Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) is included in metabolic disorders characterized by hyperglycemia, which causes many complications, and requires long-term treatment resulting in massive medical expenses each year. There have been many studies to solve this problem, but the existing studies have not been accurate by learning and predicting the data at specific time point. Thus, this study proposed a model using RNN to increase the accuracy of prediction of T2DM. This work propose a T2DM prediction model based on Korean Genome and Epidemiology study(Ansan, Anseong Korea). We trained all of the data over time to create prediction model of diabetes. To verify the results of the prediction model, we compared the accuracy with the existing machine learning methods, LR, k-NN, and SVM. Proposed prediction model accuracy was 0.92 and the AUC was 0.92, which were higher than the other. Therefore predicting the onset of T2DM by using the proposed diabetes prediction model in this study, it could lead to healthier lifestyle and hyperglycemic control resulting in lower risk of diabetes by alerted diabetes occurrence.

X-선 튜브는 의료 영상 및 치료, 산업용 제전 장치, 비파괴 X-선 영상 장치 등에서 사용되는데 기존의 열전자원을 이용한 X-선 튜브와는 달리, 냉음극형 X-선 튜브는 빠른 속도의 디지털 구동이 가능하며 전력 소비가 낮은 장점이 있다. 따라서, 최근 많은 연구자들에 의해서 냉음극형 X-선 튜브에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 냉음극형 X-선 튜브는 전계 방출을 이용한 전자원을 사용하며, 탄소나노튜브 (CNT), Si, 다양한 종류의 나노선 등이 대표적이다. 그 중에서 CNT는 높은 종횡비로 인해 전계 방출 특성이 우수하여 가장 대표적인 물질이다. CNT를 이용한 전자원을 제작하기 위해서는 직접 성장법, 전기영동법, 스크린 프린팅법, 디핑법 등 다양한 방법이 존재한다. 직접 성장법을 제외한 방법들은 모재료인 CNT와 용매, 금속재료들을 섞어 페이스트나 수용액의 상태를 제작하여야 한다. 이 때, 금속 재료는 기판과 CNT간의 접착 및 전자 전도 통로의 역할을 하는 무기 충전제이며 일반적으로 나노 혹은 수 마이크로미터 크기의 상태로 존재하는 것을 주로 사용한다. X-선 튜브 제작은 일반적으로 외벽을 유리 혹은 세라믹을 주로 사용하는데 아노드 전극 및 캐소드 전극 등과 결합하여 진공 밀봉된 형태가 되어야 한다. 브레이징 방법은 금속과 세라믹을 결합하는데 매우 유용한 방법이며, 그 중에서도 진공 브레이징 방법은 다량의 부품을 한 번에 결합시킬 수 있다. 하지만 진공 브레이징 공정의 온도는 약 $700{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$이며 이는 금속 재료가 충분히 증발할 수 있는 온도가 된다. 본 발표에서는 고온 진공 상태에서의 무기 충전제의 증발에 대한 현상을 관찰하고 고온진공 상태에서 증발없이 무기 충전제로의 역할을 할 수 있도록 다양한 금속 및 합금에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 또한, 이 연구를 통해 선택된 무기 충전제를 포함하여 CNT 페이스트를 볼밀링 방법을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 이를 이용한 CNT 에미터가 X-선 튜브의 전자원으로 사용될 수 있는지 확인하기 위해 전계 방출 실험을 함께 실시하였다. 제작된 CNT 에미터가 우수한 전계 방출 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였으며, 이는 본 연구를 통해 선택된 금속 및 합금 재료가 무기 충전제로의 역할을 잘 수행하고 있음을 보여준다.

In the case of fully edentulous patients with severe alveolar bone resorption, the consideration of 'All-on-X' implant-supported fixed prosthesis after placing four or more implants in the anterior maxilla is possible. Recent advancements in digital dentistry have enabled systematic and predictable treatment in all phases, including diagnosis, surgery, and prosthesis fabrication. By incorporating digital dentistry techniques such as digital complete denture, implant surgical guides, facial scanning into the conventional restoration process, it is possible to reduce the complexity of the prosthesis fabrication and effectively achieve the transition from provisional prosthesis to definitive prosthesis in terms of both aesthetics and function.

Purpose: To assess the degree and clinical impact of location error of the dens on the X-axis during radiotherapy to brain and head and neck tumors. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one patients with brain tumors or head and neck tumors who received three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy or intensity-modulated radiation therapy from January 2009 to June 2010 were included in this study. In comparison two-dimensional verification portal images with initial simulation images, location error of the nasal septum and the dens on the X-axis was measured. The effect of set-up errors of the dens was simulated in the planning system and analyzed with physical dose parameters. Results: A total of 402 portal images were reviewed. The mean location error at the nasal septum was 0.16 mm and at the dens was 0.33 mm (absolute value). Location errors of more than 3 mm were recorded in 43 cases (10.7%) at the nasal septum, compared to 133 cases (33.1%) at the dens. There was no case with a location error more than 5 mm at the nasal septum, compared to 11 cases (2.7%) at the dens. In a dosimetric simulation, a location error more than 5 mm at the dens could induce a reduction in the clinical target volume 1 coverage (V95: 100%${\rightarrow}$87.2%) and overdosing to a critical normal organ (Spinal cord V45: <0.1%${\rightarrow}$12.6%). Conclusion: In both brain and head and neck radiotherapy, a relatively larger set-up error was detected at the dens than the nasal septum when using an electronic portal imaging device. Consideration of the location error of the dens is necessary at the time of the precise radiation beam delivery in two-dimensional verification systems.

The anterior guidance is one of the important factors in prosthodontic treatment of anterior teeth. The lingual surface shape of anterior restorations is so critical that small errors of treatment procedure can cause discomfort of the patient and disharmony of the dentition. If the anterior restorations are achieved harmonious anterior guidance through the fabrication and adjustment of provisional restorations, it is important to accurately reproduce the lingual surface shape of provisional restorations as the final prosthesis. In this case report, it was used the modified Dahl principle and copy-milled technique of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system for systematic diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, we tried to reconstruct the restoration shape more precisely by setting the appropriate anterior guidance and superimposing the digital image of the abutment teeth and the provisional restorations. Thus, by promoting functional and esthetic recovery, this case report demonstrates satisfying results to both the patients and dentist.

Objective : This study analyzed the correlation between cognitive function and oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL). Methods : Demographic and clinical characteristics were extracted and utilized for subjects aged 45 years or older who participated in the 8th Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging in 2020. The dependent variable was the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index, and the independent variable was the level of cognitive function classified by the Mini-Mental State Examination scores. The analysis method used inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). Then, the association between cognitive function and OHQoL was analyzed by multiple regression analysis. Results : Among the participants, 4,367 (71.40%) had normal cognition, 1,155 (18.89%) had moderate cognitive impairment, and 594 (9.71%) had severe cognitive impairment. As a result of analysis by applying IPTW, there was a negative correlation between the cognitive function group and OHQoL (normal vs. moderate: β = -2.534, p < .0001; normal vs. severe: β = -2.452, p < .0001). Conclusion : After propensity score matching, mild cognitive impairment showed a more negative association than severe cognitive impairment. Therefore, patients with cognitive impairment require oral health management education to improve OHQoL regardless of the level of cognitive impairment.
