The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer from mammography images and to investigate the characteristics of patients who was diagnosed as a breast cancer. The subjects for this study were 85 patients who underwent breast imaging test with screen-film method and investigated from March 2010 to October 2010. The average age of the subjects is 51.9 years old. The 43.5% of onsets were located at the upper outer quadrant (UOQ). In terms of the age group, group for 40-49 ages were highest 37.6 (32/85)%. As for breast composition, fatty and dense breast were 30.6% (26/85) and 69.4% (59/85) respectively. The average age of the patients with fatty breast is 62.4 years old, whereas those with dense breast was 46.5 years old. The false negative rate of mammography images was 27.1% (23/85) and the sensitivity of mammography was 72.9% (62/85). The false negative rate of the patients with dense breast was 32.2% (19/59). the sensitivity of them was 67.8% (40/59).

This single-subject study examined the effects of repetitive speech training at the word and sentence levels using speech cues on the percentage of correct consonants (PCC) and speech intelligibility of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Three children aged between 5-8 years with a history of CP participated in the study. Thirty-minute intervention sessions were provided four times a week for four weeks. The intervention included repeated training of words and sentences containing target phonemes using two instructions of speech cues, "big mouse" and "strong voice". First, the children improved their average PCC and speech intelligibility, but an effect size analysis indicated that the effect was different for each child, and the effect size for speech intelligibility was higher than for PCC. Second, the intervention effect was generalized to untrained words and sentences. Third, the maintenance effects of PCC and speech intelligibility were very high. These findings suggests that repeated speech training using speech cues is an intervention technique that can help improve PCC and speech intelligibility in children with CP.

Purpose : Acute diarrhea in one of the most important diseases in children with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Most of acute diarrhea is induced by viruses. Rotavirus and adenovirus are leading causes of severe gastroenteritis among infants and young children worldwide. Studies for adenovirus gastroenteritis in Korea are limited. We studied the prevalence of rotavirus and adenovirus gastroenteritis from March 1998 to June 1999 in Chungju area. Methods : Stool samples were collected from 143 children with acute diarrhea. Specimens were tested for group A rotavirus antigen and for adenovirus type 40 and 41 by using available commercial kits. Results : Among 143 samples, 37% were positive for rotavirus and 16% were positive for adenovirus. Rotavirus was most prevalent from January to March, 1999 and adenovirus was prevalent during September 1999. The greatest number of rotavirus infections occurred under 24 months of age, followed by 2~4 years of age. Adenovirus was most common in 2~24 months of age. Conclusion : Rotavirus was most prevalent in winter and early spring. In our study, rotavirus was prevalent in early spring and adenovirus was in autumn.

The purpose of this study was to investigate convergence factors associated with cardiovascular disease in Korean elderly and use them as basic data for developing a customized health program for elderly. This was a secondary data analysis study using the 2017 National Health and Nutrition Survey and the study subjects included 1,617 individuals aged 65 and over. Regression analysis showed that perceived health status, walking practice and hypercholesterolemia were related to cardiovascular disease in elderly. In case of perceived health status, the incidence of cardiovascular disease was higher in 'good', 'fair', 'poor', and 'very poor' compared to 'very good'. Also, the incidence of cardiovascular disease was higher in the 'No' than in rhe 'Yes' of the walking practice, and higher in the case of elderly with the hypercholesterolemia. Based on the results, it is necessary to develop an active prevention nursing intervention program considering the underlying disease of the elderly.

서버와 클라이언트 기능을 모두 수행하면서 피어들끼리 직접 데이터를 주고받는 P2P 환경에서는 정보의 다양성으로 인하여 원하는 정보를 한 흡 이내에서 찾을 확률이 매우 낮다. 따라서 정보 검색을 위한 플러딩을 수행하게 되는데 플러딩 방법은 모든 피어가 네트워크에 참여하기 때문에 많은 부하가 생기고 네트워크 성능을 저하시킨다. 이러한 문제점은 차량 네트워크에서도 그대로 나타나게 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 JXTA의 랑데부 피어 컨셉을 이용하여 정보 검색을 수행하도록 하였다. 랑데부 피어를 사용한 세 가지의 시나리오와 플러딩 방식을 사용하는 한 가지 시나리오를 시뮬레이션 한 결과 랑데부 피어를 사용하는 방식이 네트워크에 부하를 덜 주면서 효율적인 정보검색을 한다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 차량 네트워크에서 이동성을 지원하기 위하여 기존의 클러스터링에 VMBC알고리즘을 이용한 그룹 리더(랑데부 피어)선정 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 그룹 리더 선정 방법을 토대로 시뮬레이션 한 결과 이동성이 존재 할 경우에도 플러딩 방식보다 효율적으로 정보 검색이 이루어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In order to see whether the mamillary bodies participate in the control of female gonadotrophic function, 12 female rats in which the mamillary bodies were damaged by passing 0.3 ma direct cur-rent through stereotaxically implanted electrodes, 8 rats which received the same treatment except passage of current, and 9 normal rats were prepared. One month after the operation, all animals were sacrificed and their brain lesions checked histologically, their ovaries and uteri examined and weighed. The ovaries and uteri showed neither atrophic changes in any animal, nor significant differences in the weight among the 3 groups. Thus the results do not support the idea that the mamillary bo-dies are implicated in the control of female gonadotrophic function.

Study on growth change of dental arch is considered to both an important data in orthodontic diagonsis and treatment planning as well as analysis of treatment results , also, arch form is important in anthropology and dentistry, even more so in prosthodontics and orthodontics. In the field of orthodontics, studies on the functional aspect of upper and lower teeth and maintenance of stability of dentition and occlusion were carried out from the early days. Some of the early studies include explanation of growth change in dental arch from measuring directly fom human stroll, and afterwards, cephalometrics x-rays were introduced; accordingly, studies using cephalometric measurement and linear measurements of study models were often performed. By this method, arch width, arch depth and perimeters were measured, and growth change or dental arch was studied. The subject ror this study were sn children(boys and girls or ages from 3 yens to 12 years from Kang-won district and Seoul, who has no history of orthodontic treatment and who show healthy status and normal growth and development. Cephalometric x-ray, panoramic x-ray, and study model were taken for each subject consecutively for 2 years, and the subjects are still followed up. 400 pairs of study models from the past two years were used in this study; mesio-distal diameater of each tooth, intercanine width, intermolar width, canine depth, molar depth and arch perimeters were measured. Afterwards, mean value and each standard deviation of each age group and each gender were obtained, and representation graph were drawn. The following conclusion were obtained. 1. Intercanine width showed gradual increase until the age of 10-years and after that, showed no increase. 2. Intermolar width in upper arch showed gradual increase : intermolar width in lower arch showed no significant chang, and after the age of 9-years, showed increase. 3. Cainine arch depth showed relatively rapid increase after the age of 6-years, and this pattern was more obvious in lower arch. 4. Molar arch depth increased gradually in both archs and it decrease after the age of 10-years : this phenomenon was more prominent in the lower arch. 5. Arch perimeter showed gradual inerease and convert to plateau at the age of 10-years, after that, it decreased. this pattern was more prominent in lower arch.

In this paper, we propose a new mura detection algorithm for TFT-LCD effectively, which is based on multi-point, 2-dimensional FFT. Since mura in TFT-LCD has a certain area shape, it is seen as a sin wave in a LCD line. Since shapes of mura can be seen a circle, horizontal oval, or vertical oval, it is shown that they can be detected by 2-dimensional FFT easily. Through simulation for test image, it is shown that proposed algorithm can detect various sizes of mura. The proposed algorithm can be utilized in automatic test equipment for effective TFT-LCD mura detection.

I tried here to interpret german fairy tale "Three Dogs" from the aspect of analytical psychology. A poor young shepherd will be 'hero'accidently while wandering the world to find good luck. When he was exhausted and frustrated in wandering life, a stranger appeared before him. A stranger offered barter. So he exchanged three sheep with three black dogs which a stranger had. One dog can bring the food. Another dog can tear everything. The last one can break even steel and iron. After that, shepherd led a satisfactory wandering life. On the way, he met a sad princess who should sacrifice herself for the piece of the country to the dragon which swallows a young girl yearly. But the strong black dog which tears everything, killed the dragon and saved the princess from the sacrifice. After that, a young shepherd promised princess to come back to her after three years of wandering life. In the meanwhile a horse driver played hero false. But the princess couldn't reveal the truth because of the threat of horse driver. Three years later, the young shepherd appeared in the castle. But the true hero was caught in the prison and finally cried out the strongest dog and succeeded in escaping from the prison. And with help of another dog which bring food to him, he could meet the princess and finally married her. So they lived happy life for a long time. But he remembered the poor younger sister. So he wanted to live together with her. After that, three dogs left him with saying, they stayed to see whether he shares his good fortune with his younger sister. Then they turned into birds and disappeared in the air. In this fairy tale can we find many important symbols. With the amplification of symbols and the interpretation of this fairy tale in terms of Jung's analytical psychology, I tried to find the meaning of individuation process in this fairy tale. Hero kills the dragon which could symbolize negative mother archetype. After overcoming the negative mother complex, he could get princess which could be expressive of Anima. This marriage could symbolize coniunctio oppositorum, an important process in individuation. Each fairy tale tells us the individuation process in a different way. And the fairy tale works always in our mind with plain, simple, pure, crystal like nature. Through it can we take precious treasure like wisdom for life.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine whether the MMPI-2-RF serves as a useful tool to differentiate between the subtypes of high risk of suicide among psychiatric outpatients. Methods : Patients were recruited from the department of psychiatry of university hospital. Participants were diagnosed using DSM-5 criteria by board certified psychiatrists. Their medical records were reviewed retrospectively. And participants were put into 4 groups (Suicide ideation, Suicide attempt, Non-suicidal self-injury, and general psychiatric diagnosis as a control group). For statistical comparison, the MANCOVA with gender as a covariate was used. Results : The results indicated that as previous research with non-clinical sample suggested, psychiatric outpatients with high suicide risk also have significantly higher Emotional/Internalizing Dysfunction, Helplessness/Hopelessness, Suicidal/Death Ideation, Demoralization, Cognitive complaints, Cynicism, Dysfunctional negative thoughts than general psychiatric patients group. But group differences within the high suicide risk patients have not been observed. However, suicide attempt group and NSSI group has higher Behavioral/Externalizing Dysfunction, RC4, AGG than general psychiatric patients group. But there was no difference between suicidal idea group and general psychiatric patients group. Conclusions : There was no group difference observed between all three subtypes, which mean the MMPI2-RF may not be the useful diagnostic tool to navigate high suicide risk subtypes. Even though there was no difference observed in the suicide ideation group, suicide attempt group and NSSI group have higher aggression and externalization. So those indexes could serve as a useful marker to investigate riskiness of suicide related symptoms.
