본 논문은 이중 확장 칼만 필터를 통한 SOC (State of charge) 및 용량 추정과 배터리 모델 파라미터를 이용한 폐배터리의 최대 출력을 추정하는 방법을 연구 및 제안한다. 배터리의 단순 전압 측정을 통해 상태를 진단할 경우, 부하 조건에 따라 급격한 전압 상승 및 강하로 인해 정밀한 안전 진단 및 운용에 어려움이 따르지만, 폐배터리는 일반 배터리에 비해 전압 변동율이 크기 때문에 상태 진단에 큰 어려움이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 폐배터리의 정밀한 안전진단을 하기 위해 SOC 영역 및 충/방전에 따른 최대 출력을 계산하여 사전에 배터리의 상태를 진단할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 배터리의 노화도에 따른 최대 출력을 실험 및 시뮬레이션을 통해 결과를 제시하여 유효한 방식임을 검증한다.

해마다 정신 질환의 발병률은 높아지지만, 이를 위한 진단과 치료의 한계는 현재까지도 해결되지 않고 있다. 디지털 치료제(DTx)는 이러한 한계를 극복할 수 있는 새로운 해결법으로 화두되고 있다. 본 연구는 객관적인 ADHD 진단을 위한 Hippo T&C의 디지털 치료 솔루션인 AttnKare-D를 제안한다. AttnKare-D는 정신 질환의 진단 및 통계 편람(DSM-5)에 따라 통제된 환경에서 데이터를 정량화함으로써 진단을 객관화한다. 또한, ADHD의 세부적 증상에 대한 상세한 보고서를 만듦으로써, 넓은 분류보다는 특정한 증상들에 집중하여 치료를 개인화한다. 적절한 샘플 사이즈에 낮은 오류율을 보이므로 임상 환경에서 AttnKare-D는 긍정적인 가능성을 보여준다.

Purpose: $^{99m}Tc$-tetrofosmin(TF) is a recently proposed myocardial imaging agent which has similar biokinetic characteristics to $^{99m}Tc$-sestamibi(MIBI). The aim of this study was to compare TF and MIBI myocardial perfusion SPECTs in detecting coronary artery disease. Materials and Methods: One hundred and sixty patients(101 males, 59 females, mean age $57{\pm}9yr$) who had undergone both myocardial perfusion SPECT(M-SPECT) and coronary angiography within 1 month were studied. M-SPECT was performed using TF in 115 patients and MIBI in 45 patients. Stress-rest one day protocol was used in all patients. A coronary stenosis was considered significant when the luminal diameter ${\geq}$50% was compromised. The chi square test was used to compare differences in sensitivity and specificity between the two groups. Results: There was no difference in age and diseased coronary artery branches between the two groups. There were more male patients in TF group: Male-to-female ratios of TF and MIBI groups were 78:37 and 23:22, respectively(p<0.05). The overall sensitivity of TF study was 92% and specificity 36%. The overall sensitivity and specificity of MIBI study were 93% and 30%, respectively. There was no difference between TF and MIBI groups in identifying individual diseased coronary artery branches. Conclusion: One day stress-rest myocardial SPECT using either TF or MIBI was comparable and was a very sensitive test in detecting coronary artery disease.

수직 치근파절은 특이성을 나타내지 않기 때문에 치과의사가 정확한 진단을 하기 어렵다. 따라서 수직 치근파절의 임상적 특징, 진단적 증상을 파악하여 향후 근관치료된 치아나 치료되지 않은 치아에서 수직 치근파절의 유발인자와의 관련성 및 고찰을 통해 수직 치근파절의 예방 및 치료에 응용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 연구대상은 조선대학교 부속치과병원 치주과에 내원한 환자 중 최근 2년간 144명의 환자에서 근관치료를 받았거나 받지 않았던 치아 중 임상적 및 방사선학적으로 수직 치근파절로 진단된 156개의 증례를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 불확실한 증례에서 수직 지근파절의 최종 진단은 외과적 탐지를 통해 이루어졌고, 금이 간 치아와 관련될 수 있는 치근파절의 증례의 경우는 제외되었다. 근관치료된 치아와 치료되지 않은 치아, 환자의 나이와 성별, 치아종류 및 파절된 치근부위, 자각증상의 유무를 기준으로 각각의 수치와 백분율로 분류하였다. 수직 치근파절의 증상과 증후별로 분류하였으며, 진단방법에 의한 분류, 치료방법에 따른 분류, 근관 치료 후 수직 치근파절이 발생한 기간에 따른 분류를 시행하고 통계분석을 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 근관치료를 받지 않았던 치아의 수직 치근파절의 발생율은 58%였다. 2. 성별에 따른 발생률에 있어서 남성의 호발양상을 나타내었다. 3. 근관치료된 치아에 있어서 치료되지 않은 치아에 비해 호발연령이 낮았다. 4. 전치부의 수직 치근파절은 관찰되지 않았으며 특히, 강한 교합력을 필요로 히는 구치부에서의 높은 발생율을 나타냈다. 5. 수직 치근파절의 가장 주된 증상 및 증후는 깊은 치주낭 깊이였다. 6. 근관 치료 후 수직 치근파절이 발생한 기간은 평균 5.7년이었다. 7. 다수 증례에 있어서 3개 이하의 결손치를 가졌고, 자각증상이 나타났다. 이상의 결괴에서 한국인에 있어서 근관치료를 받지 않은 치아의 수직 치근파절은 드문 현상이 아님을 알 수 있었고 남성과 구치부에 있어서의 높은 발생율을 알 수 있었다. 그 이유로는 강한 교합력, 딱딱한 음식의 저작습관, 치조골 흡수에 따른 낮은 저항성, 골 유연성의 저하 등으로 여겨진다. 그러나, 수직 치근파절은 아직까지 정확한 진단을 내리기는 여전히 어려운 상태이며, 이를 위한 다양한 진단방법 및 더 나은 연구가 필수적이라 하겠다. 그리고, 향후 보다 많은 증례에 대한 분석, 치주질환에 이환되지 않은 경우의 분석, 치료 후 생존 기간에 대한 고찰 등도 필요하리라 사료된다.

Purpose: Traumatic rupture of the diaphragm is not easy to diagnose and often delayed. Delayed diagnosis of diaphragmatic rupture accompanied by higher chances of strangulation of herniated viscera which may result in higher morbility and mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of spiral CT, MRI and US for the diagnosis of diaphragmatic rupture in an animal model. Materials and Methods: Small, medium, and large sized transabdominal diaphragmatic ruptures were surgically made in experimental rabbits and then followed up with spiral CT, MR!, and US at 1 day, 3 day, and 1 week after operation. Results: US was superior to MR! or spiral CT in diagnosis of diaphragmatic rupture(P(0.05). The sensitivity and specificity were 94.4% and 92.9% for US, 54.0% and 85.7% for MRI, and 46.0% and 78.6% for spiral CT, respectively. The size of laceration was not related to diagnostic sensitivity in US. Sensitivity of MRI and spiral CT increased as the size of laceration were larger, but no statistical significance was present(P>0.05). All experimental animals developed pleural effusion or hemothorax one day after operation. In acute phase, US and MRI were more sensitive than spiral CT in detecting diaphragmatic rupture. Spiral CT was more sensitive than US and MRI in delayed phase but without statistical significance(P>0.05). In the experimental rabbits with accompanying visceral hernia through the diaphragmatic defect, diagnostic accuracy was found equally high among three image modalities(P>0.05). Conclusion: This study indicates that US is the most accurate diagnostic method in detecting injury to the diaphragm in a rabbit model. The findings obtained in this experimental study can be applied to the diaphragmatic rupture of human being.

When the steel slag is utilized to the concrete as the alternative fine aggregate, its use is limited as the concrete aggregate because of expansibility caused by much quantity of free CaO. So, this study is intended to examine the characteristics of the concrete which uses the rapidly cooled steel slag whose content of free CaO is sharply reduced by rapidly cooling the steel slag as the fine aggregate. Accordingly, by comparing and considering the results of the concrete slump loss test with the different substitution ratio and fine aggregate ratio of rapidly cooled steel slag, hydration by XRD and SEM analysis, compressive test by age, a length variation test and rapid chloride ion penetration test, the rapidly cooled steel slag's proper substitution ratio and the fine aggregate ratio was derived.

In order to remove particulate matter, functional construction materials are developed. However, there is no evaluation method and infrastructure for particulate matter removal rate. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to build a particulate matter removal rate test chamber and to present a method for particulate matter removal rate. As a result, since construction materials have effectiveness in an environment where particulate matter is generated, the particulate matter injection step was proposed as a comparison target. The evaluation of the particulate removal rate was proposed by relative comparison of the slope values obtained by linear regression analysis for all concentration values measured in the particulate matter injection step. In linear regression method, all measured values can be evaluated, and the variability can be evaluated with the coefficient of determination (R-square), so that the reliability of the particulate matter removal rate can be secured.

The use of screening tests as part of a diagnostic work-up is common in domestic canine practice, but understanding of the diagnostic test characteristics and factors affecting diagnostic accuracy is not clear among clinicians. This article was aimed to provide clinicians with a better understanding on the selection of test kits and with a proper interpretation of test results using an example from heartworm(Dirofilaria immitis) studies. From the literatures, diagnostic accuracy varied depending on the kits: percent average sensitivity and specificity of ELISA antigen-detecting kits were DiroChek(Synbiotics, USA) 78.1 and 95.2, SNAP(IDEXX, USA) 66.3 and 98.1, and Solo Step(Heska, Switzerland) 69.5 and 97.5, respectively, while the values for three hematological methods(Modified Knott's, direct smear and capillary tube) ranged from 38.4 to 81.8% and from 96.9 to 100%, respectively. Furthermore, it was also reported that the prevalence of heartworm disease in domestic dog populations varied depending on the regions studied: 2.5-22.8% for microfilarial test and 2.2-66.3% by ELISA. The values of predictive values for positive(PPV) and negative(NPV) provide useful information to clinicians on the probability of heartworm infection, but the PPV and NPV are greatly dependent on the heartworm prevalence. This suggests that PPV or NPV values of a test should be interpreted carefully in different clinical settings. Practical methods on the interpretation taking into account heartworm prevalence were discussed.

Purpose: Stomach cancer is one of the most common malignancies in Korea, but there is no report on FDG PET in patients with stomach cancer. We observed findings of FDG PET in patients with stomach cancer. Materials and Methods: In 13 patients with pre-operative stomach cancer, PET and CT were performed. Primary lesion and regional lymph nodes detection were aualyzed. Correlation between FDG uptake ratio and each prognostic factor of primary lesion was analyzed. In 19 patients diagnosed as recurrence or displaying suspicious symptoms, conventional work up including tumor marker and PET were performed. Recurrence detection of anastomotic site, distant metastasis, and tumor marker elevation were analyzed. Results: Sensitivity for primary lesion detection was 83.3% (CT 71.4%) and two submucosal lesions were undetected. FDG uptake ratio was variable and had no correlation with invasion-depth, size, Borrmann type, staging and differentiation. Sensitivity for regional lymph node detection was 58.3% (CT 58.3%) and the lesions less than 1cm were undetected. Sensitivity for recurrence detection was 100% but there were three false positives. Sensitivity for distant metastasis detection was 64.3% and significantly higher than that of conventional work-up (21.4%). Average of tumor marker level in patients who were confirmed as recurrence was higher than false positive. Conclusion: PET is more useful than conventional work up in distant metastasis detection when recurrence is suspected. In pre-operative stomach cancer, PET is comparable to CT for detection of primary lesion and regional lymph node metastasis and detection of distant metastasis requires further study.
