  • 연구배경 : 폐기능 검사는 민족과 인종 그리고 거주지역뿐만 아니라 연령에 따라서도 차이가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 대부분의 검사실에서 검사기기에 내장된 평균적 표준치를 기준으로 삼고 있는 실정이어서 노령인구에 대한 폐기능검사 표준을 조사할 필요가 있었다. 이에 건강한 노인을 대상으로 폐기능검사를 시행하여 연령증가에 따른 폐기능의 변화를 확인하고 이를 토대로 표준치를 제시하고자 하였다. 방법 : 65세 이상의 남녀 각 100명을 대상으로 폐기능검사를 시행하였다. 측정된 FVC, $FEV_1을 Windows용 SPSS 8.0 version을 이용하여 연령 및 사용하여 다중회기분석을 시행하였다. 노인들의 연령과 키를 현재까지 많이 쓰이고 있는 다중선형회기식으로 분석하여 저자들의 다중선형회기식과의 차이를 분석하였다. 결과 : 대상 200예 중 남자노인의 평균연령은 $71.5{\pm}5.1$세였고, 평균신장은 $163.5{\pm}6.20$cm 였다. 이들의 평균 FVC는 $3.42{\pm}0.48{\ell}$, 평균 $FEV_1$$2.71{\pm}0.39{\ell}$였다. 여자노인의 평균연령은 $72.0{\pm}5.1$세였고, 평균 신장은 $149.1{\pm}5.93$cm 였다. 이들의 평균 FVC는 $2.22{\pm}0.42{\ell}$ 였고, 평균 $FEV_1$$1.83{\pm}0.33{\ell}$였다. 단변수 분석에서 선형적 연관성을 보인 연령과 신장을 독립변수로 한 다중회귀식을 계산하였고 이를 기존의 다종선형회기식과 비교한 결과 $FEV_1$은 Morris등의 다중선형회기식에 의한 예측치가 실측치보다 낮게 예측되어 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.01). 결론 : 65세 이상의 정상노인에서 폐기능 검사를 시행한 결과 연령의 증가에 따라 폐기능이 통계적으로 의미있게 감소함을 확인하였다. 또한 이들의 폐기능 실측치를 다종선형회귀식을 도출하여 기존에 보고된 식들과 비교한 결과 기존의 다중선형회귀식이 한국노인의 표준을 대변할 수 없음을 증명하였다. 저자들의 다중선형회귀식은 노인 연령균에서 오차가 적어 한국노인의 폐기능을 예측하는데 유용할 것으로 기대되었다.

  • Climatological, hydrological and planktonical research studies, measurements of primary production and photosynthetic efficiency from December 1976 to December 1978 have been carried out in two brackish lakes: Lake Etang de Berre and Lake Etang de Vaine located in the French Mediterranean coast, in the region of Carry-le-Rouet located on the north-west Mediterranean near Marseilles, and in fresh water inflows from 4 Rivers (Touloubre, Durance, Arc, Durancole) to Lake Etang de Berre. Physico-chemical parameters were measured for this study: water temperature, salinity, density, pH, alcalinity, dissolved oxygen (% saturation), phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, silicate etc. Diverse biological parameters were also studied: photosynthetic pigments, phaeopigments, specific composition and biomass of phytoplankton, primary pelagic production etc. Climatical factors were studied: air-temperature, solar-radiation, evaporation, direction (including strength) of winds, precipitation and freshwater volume of the four rivers. The changes in Lake ‘Etang de Berre’ ecosystem depend on the quality of the water in the Durance River, and on the effects of seawater near the entrance of the Caronte Canal. The water quality of the lake varies horizontally and vertically as a result of atmospheric phenomena, maritime currents and tides. The distribution of water temperatures is generally heterogeneous. Southeasterly winds and the Northeasterly Mistral wind are important in the origins of circulated and mixed water masses. These winds are both frequent and strong. They have, as a result, a great effect on the water environment of Lake Etang de Berre. In theory, the annual precipitation in this region is well over eight times the water mass of the lake. The water of the Durance River flows into Lake Etang de Berre through the EDF Canal, amounting to 90% of the precipitation. However, reduction of rainfall in dry seasons has a serious effect on the hydrological characteristics of the lake. The temperature in the winter is partially caused by the low temperature of fresh water, particularly that of the Durance River. The hydrological season of fresh and brackish water is about one month ahead of the hydrological season of sea water in its vicinity. The salinity of Lake Etang de Berre runs approximately 3$\textperthousand$, except at lower levels and near the entrance to the Caronte Canal. However, when the volume of the Durance River water is reduced in the summer and fall, the salinity rises to 15$\textperthousand$. In the lake, the ratio of fresh water to sea water is six to one (6:1). The large quantities of seston conveyed by rivers, particularly the Durance diversion, strongly reduce the transparency in the brackish waters. Although the amount of sunshine is also notable, transparency is slight because of the large amount of seston, carried chiefly by Tripton in the fresh water of the Durance River. Therefore, photosynthesis generally occurs only in the surface layer. The transparency progressively increases from freshwater to open seawater, as mineral particles sink to the bottom (about 1.7kg $m^{-2}a^{-1}$ on the average in brackish lakes). The concentration of dissolved oxygen and the rate of oxygen saturation in seawater (Carry-le-Rouet) ranged from 5.0 to 6.0 $m\ell$ㆍ.$1^{-1}$, and from 95 to 105%, respectively. The amount of dissolved oxygen in Etang de Berre oscillated between 2.9 and 268.3%. The monographs of phosphate, nitrate, nitrite and silicate were published as a part of a study on the ecology of phytoplankton in these environments. Horizontal and vertical distributions of these nutriments were studied in detail. The recent diversion of the Durance River into Lake Etang de Berre has effected a fundamental change in this formerly marine environment, which has had a great impact in its plankton populations. A total of 182 taxa were identified, including 111 Bacillariophyceae, 44 Chlorophyceae, and 15 Cyanophyceae. The most abundant species are small freshwater algae, mainly Chlorophyceae. The average density is about $10^{8}$ cells $1^{-1}$ in Lake Etang de Berre, and about double that amount in Lake Etang de Vaine. Differences in phytoplankton abundance and composition at the various stations or at various depths are slight. Cell biovolume V (equivalent to true biomass), plasma volume VP (‘useful’ biomass) and, simultaneously. the cell surface area S and S/V ratio through the measurement of cell dimensions were computed as the parameters of phytoplankton productivity and metabolism. Pigment concentrations are generally very high on account of phytoplankton blooms by Cyanophyceae, Chlorophyceae and Cryptophyceae. On the other hand, in freshwaters and marine waters, pigment concentrations are comparatively low and stable, showing slight annual variation. The variations of ATP concentration were closely related to those of chlorophyll a and phytoplankton blooms only in marine waters. The carbon uptake rates ranged between 38 and 1091 mg$Cm^{-2}d^{-1}$, with an average surface value of 256 mg; water-column carbon-uptake rates ranged between 240 and 2310 mg$Cm^{-2}d^{-1}$, with an average of 810, representing 290 mg$Cm^{-2}$, per year 45 000 tons per year of photosynthetized carbon for the whole lake. Gross photosynthetic production measured by the method of Ryther was studied over a 2-year period. The values obtained from marine water(Carry-le-Rouet) ranged from 23 to 2 337 mg$Cm^{-2}d^{-1}$, with a weighted average of 319, representing about 110 gCm$^{-2}$ per year. The values in brakish water (Etang de Berre) ranged from 14 to 1778 mg$Cm^{-2}d^{-1}$, with a weighted average of 682, representing 250 mg$Cm^{-2}$ per year and 38 400 tons per year of photosynthesized carbon for the whole lake.

  • At the Korea Institute of Radiological and Medical Sciences, physical human phantoms were developed to evaluate various radiation protection quantities, based on the mesh-type reference computational phantoms of the International Commission on Radiological Protection. The physical human phantoms were fabricated such that a radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeter (RPLGD) with a Tin filter, namely GD-352M, could be inserted into them. A Tin filter is used to eliminate the overestimated signals in low-energy photons below 100 keV. The measurement uncertainty of the RPLGD reader system based on GD-352M should be analyzed for obtaining reliable protection quantities before using it for practical applications. Generally, the measurement uncertainty of RPLGD systems without Tin filters is analyzed for quality assurance of radiotherapy units using a high-energy photon beam. However, in this study, the measurement uncertainty of GD-352M was analyzed for evaluating the protection quantities. The measurement uncertainty factors in the RPLGD include the reference irradiation, regression curve, reproducibility, uniformity, energy dependence, and angular dependence, as described by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These factors were calculated using the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement method, applying ISO/ASTM standards 51261(2013), 51707(2015), and SS-ISO 22127(2019). The measurement uncertainties of the RPLGD reader system with a coverage factor of k = 2 were calculated to be 9.26% from 0.005 to 1 Gy and 8.16% from 1 to 10 Gy. A blind test was conducted to validate the RPLGD reader system, which demonstrated that the readout doses included blind doses of 0.1, 1, 2, and 5 Gy. Overall, the En values were considered satisfactory.

  • The NISS (Near-infrared Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history) onboard NEXTSat-1 is the near-infrared instrument optimized to the first small satellite of NEXTSat series. The capability of both imaging and low spectral resolution spectroscopy with the Field of View of $2{\times}2deg.$ in the near-infrared range from 0.9 to $3.8{\mu}m$ is a unique function of the NISS. The major scientific mission is to study the cosmic star formation history in local and distant universe. The Flight Model of the NISS is being developed and tested. After an integration into NEXTSat-1, it will be tested under the space environment. The NISS will be launched in 2017 and it will be operated during 2 years. As an extension of the NISS, SPEHREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer) is the NASA SMEX (SMall EXploration) mission proposed together with KASI (PI Institute: Caltech). It will perform an all-sky near-infrared spectral survey to probe the origin of our Universe; explore the origin and evolution of galaxies, and explore whether planets around other stars could harbor life. The SPHEREx is designed to have wider FoV of $3.5{\times}7deg.$ as well as wider spectral range from 0.7 to $4.8{\mu}m$. After passing the first selection process, SPHEREx is under the Phase-A study. The final selection will be made in the end of 2016. Here, we report the current status of the NISS and SPHEREx missions.

  • 연구배경 : 폐기능의 경한 저하는 운동능력이나 작업능력을 제한 시키지 않지만 심한 폐기능 저하는 중요한 제한 요인이 된다. 1980년 세계보건기구(WHO)에서는 폐기능의 감소를 impairment, 운동기능의 감소를 disability로 구분하였으며, 1986년 ATS에서 FVC가 50% 이하로 감소, FEV1이 40% 이하로 감소, FEV1/FVC가 40% 이하로 감소, 혹은 DLCO가 40% 이하로 감소된 경우, 또는 운동부하 검사에서 VO2max가 15 ml/Kg/min 이하이면 거의 모든 작업기능을 수행할 수 없는 심한 장애상태로 평가하였다. 이에 심한 기류폐쇄환자를 대상으로 impairment/disability를 평가하는데 있어 안정시 폐기능 검사와 운동부하검사의 역할 및 상관관계를 살펴보고자 하였다. 방법 : 성한 만성기류폐쇄(CAO; chronic airflow obstruction) 환자 19예를 대상으로 안정시 spirometry와 body plethysmograph를 시행하였으며, cycle ergometer를 이용하여 증상제한적 최대 운동검사(symptom limited maximal exercise test)를 분당 5 - 10 watt 씩 증가시키면서 시행하였다. 환자를 안정시 폐기능검사 결과에 따라 FEV1이 40% 이하인 경우 severe impairment군, 이상인 경우 non-severe impairment 군으로 구분하여 비교하였다. 결과 : 1. Severe impairment 군은 non-severe impairment 군에 비하여 기도폐쇄 및 저산소증이 유의하게 심하였고, VO2max가 유의하게 감소되어 운동수행상태가 현저하게 감소되어 있었다. 2. Severe impairment 군은 운동부하검사에서 환기제한장애(ventilatory limitation)를 보였으며, 운동제한 증상은 10예중 9예가 호흡곤란이었다. 3. 만성기류폐쇄 환자중에서 결핵 파괴성 폐질환 환자의 장애가 가장 심하였다. 4. 안정시 폐기능검사 결과 중에서 FEV1이 심한 장애를 결정하는 가장 유용한 지표였으며, VO2max와의 상관관계도 가장 컷다(r = 0.81, p < 0.001). 5. 안정시 폐기능검사에 의한 심한 폐기능장애(impairment by WHO)는 sensitivity 80%, specificity 89%로 심한 운동장애(disability by WHO)를 예측할 수 있었다. 결론 : 심한 기류폐쇄환자에서는 안정시 폐기능검사 특히 FEV1으로 운동수행상태를 잘 예측할 수 있어, 운동부하검사를 시행하지 않고서도 안정시 폐기능검사인 폐기능 장애(impairment by WHO)에 따라 운동기능 장애(disability by WHO)를 충분히 판단할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • Statement of problem: The cumulative success rate of wide implant is still controversial. Some previous reports have shown high success rate, and some other reports shown high failure rate. Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze, and compare the biomechanics in wide implant system embeded in different width of crestal bone under different occlusal forces by finite element approach. Material and methods: Three-dimensional finite element models were created based on tracing of CT image of second premolar section of mandible with one implant embedded. One standard model (6mm-crestal bone width, 4.0mm implant diameter central position) was created. Varied crestal dimension(4, 6, 8 mm), different diameter of implants(3.3, 4.0, 5.5, 6.0mm), and buccal position implant models were generated. A 100-N vertical(L1) and 30 degree oblique load from lingual(L2) and buccal(L3) direction were applied to the occlusal surface of the crown. The analysis was performed for each load by means of the ANSYS V.9.0 program. Conclusion: 1. In all cases, maximum equivalent stress that applied $30^{\circ}$ oblique load around the alveolar bone crest was larger than that of the vertical load. Especially the equivalent stress that loaded obliquely in buccal side was larger. 2. In study of implant fixture diameter, stress around alveolar bone was decreased with the increase of implant diameter. In the vertical load, as the diameter of implant increased the equivalent stress decreased, but equivalent stress increased in case of the wide implant that have a little cortical bone in the buccal side. In the lateral oblique loading condition, the diameter of implant increased the equivalent stress decreased, but in the buccal oblique load, there was not significant difference between the 5.5mm and 6.0mm as the wide diameter implant. 3. In study of alveolar bone width, equivalent stress was decreased with the increase of alveolar bone width. In the vertical and oblique loading condition, the width of alveolar bone increased 6.0mm the equivalent stress decreased. But in the oblique loading condition, there was not a difference equivalent stress at more than 6.0mm of alveolar bone width. 4. In study of insertion position of implant fixture, even though the insertion position of implant fixture move there was not a difference equivalent stress, but in the case of little cortical bone in the buccal side, value of the equivalent stress was most unfavorable. 5. In all cases, it showed high stress around the top of fixture that contact cortical bone, but there was not a portion on the bottom of fixture that concentrate highly stress and play the role of stress dispersion. These results demonstrated that obtaining the more contact from the bucco-lingual cortical bone by installing wide diameter implant plays an important role in biomechanics.

  • In 1991, Obesity rate of South Korea has reached to 18.7%. Because of economical development, the pattern of diet is exchanged from carbohydrate to rich protein and fat. The more problem is not only obesity of adult but also one of little child. Obesity is induced to diabetes mellitus, hypertension, artherosclerosis, hyperlipoidemia. heart and C.V.A disease, etc. In Woman, special important ploblem is the complex of beauty about Woman's figure. In Oriental Medicine, the factor of obesity is mainly regarded as dampness. And there are many treatments and methods to body weight loss, but obesity patients dislike to use them because of their side effects and inconvenience, intolerance. Now ear acupuncture is applied on so many disease because of its easy handly, non-side effect and high efficiency in clinics. Here obesity acupuncture is used to ear and whole body acupuncture. Because they react eachother for lack point. Therefore, in order to investigate the effect of obesity acupuncture and develop non-drug, non-starvation etc, we analyzed 453 the cases of body weight loss patients treated with ear and whole body acupuncture in Oriental Medicine Hospital of Jeon-Ju Woo-Sug University from April.1.1992. to March.17. 1993. The results were summarized as follows. 1. Distribution of sex ; male (4.4%), Female(95.6%) 2. Distribution of age in descending order ; 30s, 20s, 40s, 10s, 50s, below 10s, abowe 60s. The 20s-30s are group made up 60.7% of the group. 3. Distribution of occupation in descending order; housewife, student, service, salaried, merchant, teacher, farmer, inoccupation. 4. Distribution of human coporal constitution in descending order : Tae-Eum-In, So-Eum-In, So-Yang-In. 5. Distribution of body height and weight, 155-164cm ; 71.1%, 60-70kg, 74.6% are majority. 6. Distribution of weight variation, 2-6kg(71.0%) is majority, also 13-14kg(0.4%). 7. Distribution of duration in descending order ; 1-3 years, 3-6 years, 1-12months, above 10 years but in success, 1-12 months, 1-3 years, 3-6 years, above 10 years. Therefore, we know that the shorter duration of obesity is, the more loss of body weight. 8. Past experiences to body weight loss; Yes(69.5%), No(30.5%). The success rate accordant with the past temporary experiences shows that the cases without experience is higher than the ones with experience. 9.
