  • Vascular injury following traumatic knee injury quoted in the literature ranges from 3.3 to 65%, depending on the magnitude and pattern of the injury. Timely recognition is crucial to ensure the revascularization is done within 6 to 8 hours from the time of injury to avoid significant morbidity, amputation, and medicolegal ramifications. We present a case of an ischemic limb following delayed diagnosis of popliteal artery injury after knee dislocation. Even though we have successfully repaired the popliteal artery, the evolving ischemia over the distal limb poses a reconstruction challenge. Multiple surgical debridement procedures were performed to control the local tissue infection. Free tissue transfer with chimeric latissimus dorsi flap was done to resurface the defect. However, the forefoot became gangrenous despite a free muscle flap transfer. His limb appeared destined for amputation in the vicinity of tissue and recipient vessels, but we chose to use a cross-leg free flap as an option for limb salvage.

  • 임플랜트의 성공을 위해서 정확한 방사선학적 검사는 가용골의 높이와 하악관의 위치를 평가하고 중요구조물의 손상을 방지하는데 있어 필수적이다. CT촬영법 중 영상재구성법을 이용한 방법(CT/MPR)은 하악관의 위치를 잘 보여준다. 치아에 평행한 협설 단면 (cross-sectional plane)을 얻기 위해서는 횡단면(axial plane)이 교합면과 평행하도록 해야 한다. 횡단면(axial plane)이 교합면과 평행하지 않으면 재구성된 협설 단면(cross-sectional plane)은 계획된 fixture의 방향과 각을 이루게 되어 그 fixture의 실제 dimension을 보여주지 못하게 된다. 협설단면(cross-sectional view)에서 측정한 가용골 높이가 실제 가용골 높이보다 너무 큰 경우, 수술시 하악관을 침범할 가능성이 있게 된다. 이 연구의 목적은 하악 임플랜트 CT 촬영시 횡단면이 임플란트를 위한 가용골 높이의 측정에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이다. 하악 대구치 부위의 임플랜트를 계획하고 radiographic stent를 만든 후 치과 방사사선과에서 하악 임플랜트 CT를 촬영한 40명의 환자, 45개 부위를 선택하였다. 임플랜트 CT의 central panoramic view에서 치조정과 하악관, stent를 tracing한 후, 치조정과 하악관간의 거리(available bone height, ABH)를 재구성된 협설단면상에서 측정하였다(uncorrected ABH). 다음으로, .stent 방향으로 그은 직선상에서 측정하였다(corrected ABH). 두 거리사이의 각을 측정하였다. 두 거리로부터 각각 fixture의 길이를 결정하였다. 연구 결과, 두 가용골의 높이간에는 제 1 대구치와 제 2 대구치에서 모두 유의성있는 차이를 보였다 (p<0.001). 차이가 1 mm 이상인 경우는 제 1 대구치에서 8.7%, 제 2 대구치에서 15.5% 였다. 차이가 2 mm 이상인 경우는 제 1 대구치에서 2.0%, 제 2 대구치에서 6.6%였다. 최대값은 제 1 대구치에서 2.5 mm, 제 2 대구치에서 2.2 mm 였다. 두 가용골의 높이차와 각과의 상관 관계는 제 1 대구치와 제 2 대구치에서 모두 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 상관 계수는 제 1 대구치에서 0.534, 제 2 대구치에서 0.728 였다. 제 2 대구치가 더 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 두 가용골의 높이로부터 결정한 fixture의 길이가 일치하지 않는 경우는 제 1 대구치에서는 24.4%, 제 2 대구치에서는 28.9%였다.

  • This paper investigates how market participants react to mergers and acquisitions (M&As) involving telecommunications companies. The empirical evidence suggests that such activities convey bad news to the market. This is consistent with the synergy trap hypothesis and extant empirical findings of value-reducing diversification strategies in recent literature. The evidence also indicates that a cross-border, rather than a domestic M&A deal, is the main driver of the negative market reaction. Further, our evidence of negative impacts on the bidder's business after an M&A reinforces our main finding that market participants, on average, perceive M&A activities to be detrimental to shareholder value. This suggests that value creation or synergy through an M&A deal is not warranted even though it can generate an increase in size of the firm.

  • Universities are now operating in a post-globalized world. They need to be locally engaged while globally visible for continued success. Specific strategies include 1) unbundling education using fractal modules approach to facilitate more flexible and customized learning expectations of net generation of students; 2) open-source software and hardware platforms to facilitate collaborations around a short or multi-year, multidisciplinary brain stretching projects motivated by the real world challenges; 3) new courses on innovation and entrepreneurship to nurture experience seeking and enterprising mindset of students; 4) cross-border university- public- private partnerships for developing solutions specific to the local needs and can be scalable for the world; and 5) encouraging faculty members with glocal mindset.

  • This study investigates the wealth effect of foreign acquisition of U.S. based firms. Contrary to previous studies, this analysis demonstrates that after appropriate control of domestic-acquired targets, the wealth gains to the shareholders of targets in foreign takeovers are similar to those in domestic takeovers. This paper investigates the validity of the competitive acquisition market in cross-border takeovers and concludes that : 1) in cases of inward foreign direct investment into the U.S., foreign firms do not realize significant net benefits from acquisitions; and 2) the foreign acquirer is as well informed as its U.S, counterparts about the target's market. The results of this study are consistent with the view that each country has different motivations for investing in the U.S. market. Consider, for example, Japan. The evidence suggests that Japanese companies pay a considerable price for U.S. targets which have performed poorly before the takeover. While there is no specific rationale to explain why Japanese firms buy the most volatile and worst performing firms, international barriers may provide a possible reason for these anomalies. Overall, the evidence of this paper supports the view that foreign takeovers occur in a competitive acquisition market.

  • 현재 전세계적으로 공급 안정성과 전력 신뢰도 및 품질을 높이는데 국가간 연계가 하나의 대안으로 떠오르고 있다. 특히 동북아 전력연계는 정치적 또는 경제적 제약들 때문에 연계가 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 향후 동북아 전력계통 연계를 고려해 볼 때 국가간 계통 상황 및 효율적인 방안을 분석하여 합당한 거래 제도를 수립할 필요가 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 현재 각국의 전력 거래제도를 분석하여 동북아 전력연계시장에 맞는 거래제도를 제시하는 것이다. 서론에서는 동북아 연계의 의의를 알아보고, 현재까지 진행된 동북아 연계방안에 대한 자료조사를 바탕으로 조사연구들에 대한 특징을 간략하게 알아본다. 본문에서는 동북아 각국의 시장 상황과 세계 각국의 전력 연계 시장에 대해 살펴보고 현재 동북아 시장에 알맞은 연계 시장의 거래제도를 제시하고자 한다. 마지막 결론에서는 동북아 전력계통 연계 시 현재와 미래상황에 맞는 연계 시장의 거래제도를 제시하고자 한다.

  • Nowadays, the explosive evolvement of Internet. which is referred to as EC, has been prevailing. That has given the chance all of the world consumers to contact all of the world companies to enter into business relationship. But, electronic commerce laws have been established per conventional jurisdiction. some legal issues take place in the field of cross-border electronic commerce, including the governing law and competent courts. In this situations, it is gradually and widely required to lay down the internationally harmonized electronic commerce legal framework. Now, there are a lot of legal issues assumed in EC, in this study, we studied three precedence problems concerning B2C: Consumer Protection Law regarding B2C, Personal Information Protection Law in Private Sector regarding B2C, Web Site Trust Mark System.

  • Recently, FTA is quickly spreading out all over the world. In Korea, roles of trade in the economy are significantly important. Therefore, in order to adapt quickly to changed international trade environment, FTA negotiation and its agreements have been accelerated. In Korea, the trade deficit is expected to continue in telecommunications services sector. Meanwhile, pressures to open the market have been intensified in telecommunications services at WTO and FTA negotiations. Therefore, in the middle of opening the market, the expansion plans to increase the competitiveness of our telecommunications services are required to be searched. Thus, in this paper, we reviewed the Korea trade policy status related to telecommunications services based on realistic situation. Also, after reviewing the trade issues which are raised in the WTO and FTA negotiations, the major issues in WTO and FTA were driven to the lessons.

  • Following importation of temperate Australian breeds of sheep into Malaysia, it was demonstrated that there was variability in libido and semen productivity. Consequently, a study was conducted to determine the concentration of testosterone and relate it with libido and semen production. A total of 10 rams each of Dorset Horn, Cross of Merino with Border Leicester, Siamese Long Tail, Suffolk and local Malin were used to study the composition of testosterone in the blood plasma of these breeds. The study showed that there was significant difference between the testosterone level of different breeds in Spring and Summer but not in Autumn and Winter. The difference was pronounced in August and January. A significant difference (p > 0.05) was recorded in the testosterone levels of the different breeds during the day where Malin had better libido compared to the other breeds. There was no significant difference between the testosterone levels of the different breeds at night. The testosterone level of Suffolk, however, was elevated throughout the night (2.00 ng/ml and over) which resulted in better libido at night compared to the other breeds.
