The purpose of this study was to review the brief physiological characteristics and some factors of the quality decay of strawberry harvested in Korea. Strawberries are highly perishable with soft surface. Surface injury and fungus growth are common as a result of handling and distribution. Many growers and distributers are considered to protect the physical impact and inhibit the fungus growth for prolonging the shelf life in the distribution and market channels. Post-harvest treatments of precooling, carbon dioxide, chlorine dioxide, ozone, and ultrasound are practiced on strawberry in order to extend shelf-life and preserve the quality. Modified atmosphere packaging, edible coating, and oxygen absorbent application can be used as supplemental treatments to extend postharvest-life of strawberry. The packaging types for current domestic and export strawberry in Korea were summarized. The findings from this study can be lead to a better understanding of strawberry packaging development associated with the proper handling and distribution of strawberry. This could be useful for the strawberry growers, distributors, and buyers.

MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network)은 기간망에 의존하지 않는 이동 노드들로 구성된 자율망 또는 추론망 토폴로지에 의한 멀티홉 무선 네트워크이다. MANET을 구성하는 각 노드의 이동성, 속도 그리고 에너지와 같은 다양한 속성정보는 망의 특징과 운영을 결정하는 요인이다. 특히 망의 운영상, 전송 대역폭과 에너지 사용에 따른 제약을 가지며 이러한 특징을 고려한 라우팅 프로토콜의 설계 및 하드웨어 개발이 중요하게 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 계층적 클러스터 구조의 MANET 환경에서 노드의 에너지 속성과 네트워크의 트래픽 상태를 고려한 적응적 시간차 노드관리 기법인 ATICC(Adaptive Time Interval Clustering Control)을 제안한다. 제안된 ATICC은 시간차 노드 관리기법인 TICC(Time Interval Clustering Control)[1]에 기반하며 노드에 최적화된 Active/Sleep, Idle Listening 상태를 적응적으로 설정한 후 패킷을 전송함으로서 계층적 클러스터 내의 각 노드의 균형적인 에너지 소모를 이루는 에너지 효율적인 방식이다. 제안한 노드관리 방법은 기존의 LEACH, TICC과 비교 실험하고 그 성능을 검증하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 노드관리 방법이 노드별 에너지 소모량을 줄였으며 전체 네트워크의 생존시간을 연장함으로서 기존의 방법 보다 우수함을 확인하였다.

Background : Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancy in the world. Types of lung cancer are Non small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer. Subtypes of Non small cell lung cancer are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma. Knowing the type of lung cancer is important in determining both treatment and prognosis. Recently, due to newly developed anti-cancer drugs, squamous cell carcinoma has relatively poor prognosis than non-squamous cell carcinoma. Case : We report a squamous cell lung cancer case treated with allergen removed Rhus verniciflua Stokes (aRVS) extract. The patients initially diagnosed stage squamous cell lung carcinoma, but she refused recommended operation. She initiated aRVS extract monotherapy in October. 2006. The follow up Computed tomography in March. 2007, she diagnosed stable disease of tumor response on aRVS treatment. However, this case was lost to follow up for 6 months while she was treated with tomotherapy. In October 2007, she came back to our cancer center after diagnosed stage IV metastasized lung to lung, and aRVS monotherapy was restarted. She had survived 2 years after metastasis of squamous cell lung carcinoma. Conclusion : Allergen removed Rhus verniciflua Stokes(aRVS) sucessfully prolonged overall survival of a squamous cell lung cancer patient.

Network life time is very important issue for wireless sensor network(WSN). It is very important to design sensor networks for sensors to utilize their energies in effective ways. A-PEGASIS that basically bases on PEGASIS and enhances in two aspects-an elegant chain generation algorithm and periodical update of chains. However, it has problems in the chain generation mechanism and some possibility of network partitioning or sensing hole problem in the network, in LEACH related protocols. This dissertation proposes a new clustering protocol to solve the co-shared problems in the previous protocols. The basic idea of our scheme is using the table for node connectivity. The results show that the network life time would be extended in about 1.8 times longer than LEACH and 1.5 times longer than PEGASIS-A.

Objective : This study reports one case of a patient diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung cancer with bone metastasis. Methods : A 56-year old male patient was diagnosed as squamous cell lung cancer in 1997 and received chemotherapy. The chemotherapy stopped after one cycle because of toxicity and the lung abscess. After four months from the diagnosis, rib metastasis was found and received the radiation therapy for two weeks. After the treatment, adverse effects such as nausea and anorexia appeared. The patient visited K. Korean Medicine Hospital and started the treatment with the allergen removed Rhus verniciflua stokes (aRVS) since December, 1997. Results and Conclusion : During treatment, the patient's quality of life had improved, and he had survived for 14 years after the administration of aRVS. This case suggests that aRVS can be an alternative treatment for the advanced NSCLC patients with bone metastasis.

Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) or Ondine's curse is a very rare sleep disorder that is the result of a congenital failure of the autonomic control of ventilation caused by insensitivity of the chemoreceptor to hypercapnea during sleep. Gastrointestinal motility disorders, particularly a congenital megacolon (Hirschsprung disease) is often combined with CCHS. This combination can be explained by a defect in the migration of neuronal cells from the neural crest (neurocristopathy) during the intrauterine period. A diagnosis of CCHS is made by confirming the failure of adequate ventilation in response to hypercapnea and hypoxia during sleep and the exclusion of other diseases. Young infants frequently show atypical clinical courses, and their conditions are frequently complicated with the long-term sequela of hypoxemic episodes. Therefore, a high index of suspicion and active treatment with mechanical ventilation are important for reducing recurrent hypoxemic episodes in the neonatal period. This paper reports the follow up of a case of CCHS in a neonate who showed frequent intractable apnea and cyanosis and was given artificial mechanical ventilation during sleep.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is reporting the possibility of the treatment of metastatic brain tumors with allergen removed Rhus verniciflua Stokes (aRVS) after gamma knife radiosurgery. Methods: A patient with lung cancer felt a headache about one year after conventional therapies, and metastatic brain tumors were diagnosed. He received gamma knife radiosurgery twice but refused to get more conventional therapies afterwards. So he has been treating with aRVS since then. Results: During 143 weeks of administration of aRVS, the size of brain masses has decreased continuously without extracranial metastasis and the patient has maintained a good performance status. Conclusions: This report suggests that aRVS may play a therapeutic role in the treatment of metastatic brain tumors. Further studies will be needed to determine the effect of aRVS on metastatic brain tumors.

The immunomodulatory activity of PJ-P, a polysaccharide fraction extracted from Paeonia japonica, were reported in our previous paper. In the present study, we investigated that PJ-P inhibited cancer growth through activation of macrophages. The activities of peritoneal macrophage to induce tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$, interleukin-1 (IL-1)$\beta$, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) as well as to ingest fluorescence-latex microbeads were enhanced by treatment of PJ-P. Direct cytocidal activity of PJ-P against cancer cells was not shown. However, in vitro, peritoneal macrophages treated with PJ-P had an activity to kill cancer cells. Furthermore, PJ-P significantly prolonged the survival of mice implanted intraperitoneally with B16F0 mel-anoma cells. These results suggest that PJ-P could be a useful immunomodulator and assistant of anti-tumor agent.
