It is well documented that calcium is essential to cardiac contraction and the amplitude of contractility is proportional to the ionized calcium not to total calcium. Changes of serum ionic calcium before and after extracorporeal circulation were observed in fifty two patients operated on at Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital, from May 21st, 1984, to July 6th, 1984. They were 28 males and 24 females including 21 acyanotic congenital heart diseases, 21 cyanotic congenital heart diseases, and 10 acquired valvular heart diseases. In general, preoperative serum ionic calcium was around the normal level, but those of immediate postoperative day and postop-first day were decreased subnormally with significance [P<0.05 vs. preop.]. From postop-third day, serum ionic calcium was returned to normal range. No significant difference was noticed in subgroups divided by 10 Kg of body weight and by the methods of myocardial protection. But the change of serum ionic calcium in the patients with prolonged pump time over 90 minutes was remarkable and the values were as follow; on immediate postop-day 1.780.18 mEq/L vs. 1.970.20 mEq/L [P<0.005],on postop-first day, 1.940.20mEq/L vs. 2.060.12 mEq/L [P<0.025], on postop-third day, 2.030.11mEq/L vs. 2.150.13mEq/L [P<0.01], and on postop-seventh day, 2.030.09mEq/L vs. 2.190.11mEq/L [P<0.005]. In summary, the serum ionic calcium was lowered after extracorporeal circulation and even severer degree according to the prolongation of bypass time. So, after extracorporeal circulation esp. in the cases with prolonged bypass time, early correction of lowered serum ionic calcium would be helpful to the postoperative hemodynamics.

In order to investigate the chemical components of acid precipitation at Samchok City in Korea, the rainwater was collected according to 3mm rainfall from september 1994 to december 1994. pH, electric conductivity were measured and ionic components were analyzed by Ion chromatography. As the analytical results, the average value were 6.27 for pH, 53.16 S/cm for E.C., the average concentration were 393.42 eq/1 for C $l^{[-10]}$ , 18.41 eq/1 for N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ , 91.44 eq/1 for S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$, 335.92 eq/1 for N $a^{+}$, 65.66 eq/1 for N $H_{4}$$^{+}$, 18.22 eq/1 for $K^{+}$, 120.49 eq/1 for $Mg^{2+}$ and 147.04 eq/1 for $Ca^{2+}$. pH value correlated negatively with rainfall amount and the component of C $l^{[-10]}$ and N $a^{+}$ were transported to urban air by the seasalt. It showed that S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$ and N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ had influence on acidity of precipitation, 73% and 27%, respectively, in this area. Ion Concentration of N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ was higher than S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$ in the early rain, S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$ was higher than N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ in the succeeding rain by multi-regration analysis. the percentages of removal by percipitation were higher in N $O_{3}$$^{[-10]}$ than in S $O_{4}$$^{2-}$./TEX> 2-/.

Background: Although the original version of the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires are found to be acceptable, the cross-culturally adapted versions may not be comparable to their original version. Objects: To examine dimensionality and construct validity of two Korean versions of the brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) and EuroQOL-5 dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaires. Methods: A total of 77 cancer survivors undergoing palliative rehabilitation programs from two rehabilitation institutes was recruited from April 16, 2018 to June 26, 2019. The WHOQOL-BREF and the EQ-5D were filled out by the various cancer survivors following a particular session of rehabilitation programs. The scores were analyzed with Winsteps Rasch analysis computer program using the rating scale model. Rasch fit statistics were used to determine the dimensionality and the item difficulty calibrations of WHOQOL-BREF and EQ-5D. Results: All items except two, negative feeling, need treatment function and pain prevent activity (mean square [MnSq] = 2.42, 1.82 and 2.51, respectively), were found to be acceptable, while two items of the EQ-5D, anxiety/depression and self-care, were misfit (infit MnSq = 1.65 and 0.38, respectively). Item difficulty calibrations of WHOQOL-BREF match person ability measures (i.e., HRQOL) fairly well. However, the person ability distribution showed obvious ceiling effects for EQ-5D. All items of EQ-5D were appeared to be less challenged in comparison with those of WHOQOL-BREF. Conclusion: Item-level analysis using the Rasch model supports the quality of culturally adapted items used to measure the HRQOL one exception; that is, whether or not to include misfit items as part of the HRQOL measurements. Additionally, cancer survivors undergoing palliative rehabilitation programs appear to have more of a tendency to view the EQ-5D items as being more challenging than the WHOQOL-BREF.

This pitting corrosion study of welded joints of austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304L and 316L) has addressed the differentiating solidification mode using three newly introduced filler wires with a flux-cored arc welding process (FCAW). The delta ferrite (${\delta}$-ferrite) content in the welded metals increased with an increasing equivalent weight ratio of chromium/nickel ($Cr_{eq}/Ni_{eq}$). Ductility dip cracking (DDC) was observed in the welded metal containing ferrite with none of AISI 304L and 0.1% of AISI 316L. The potentiodynamic anodic polarization results revealed that the $Cr_{eq}/Ni_{eq}$ ratio in a 3.5% NaCl solution didn't much affect the pitting potential ($E_{pit}$). The AISI 316L welded metals with ${\ddot{a}}$-ferrite content of over 10% had a superior $E_{pit}$ value. Though the AISI 316L welded metal with 0.1% ferrite had larger molybdenum contents than AISI 304L specimens, it showed a similar $E_{pit}$ value because the concentration of chloride ions and the corrosion product induced severe damage near the DDC.

고혈압의 유발 원인과 관련이 있는 나트륨의 섭취를 줄일 수 있는 방법을 모색하기 위해 건강한 20대 성인여성 9명을 대상으로 NaCl-KCl 혼합식염으로 조리한 식이를 섭취하도록 한 후 24시간 소변으로 배설되는 나트륨 양을 조사하여 나트륨 섭취량이 평상시보다 어느 정도 감소되는가를 보고자 하였다. 1) 3일간의 일상식이 섭취상태를 조사한 결과 연구대상자들이 섭취한 1일 평균 열량은 1,872.0 kcal였으며 나트륨과 칼륨의 1일 평균 섭취량은 각각 178.2 ${\pm}$ 46.0 mEq, 56.4 ${\pm}$ 21.9 mEq로 나타났다. 2) 실험기간동안 제공된 실험 식이에서 대상자들이 섭취한 열량은 평균 2,031.2 kcal였으며 나트륨의 섭취량은 평균 130.2 mEq이었으며, 칼륨의 섭취량은 평균 120.4 mEq이었다. 3) 조사대상자들의 혈압은 실험 시작 전 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압의 평균이 각각 104.6 ${\pm}$ 4.9 mmHg, 69.2 ${\pm}$ 6.3 mmHg였다. 실험식이 섭취 기간 동안 수축기 혈압과 이완기 혈압은 각각 108.1 ${\pm}$ 8.0 mmHg, 70.4 ${\pm}$ 5.7 mmHg로 나타났다. 4) 일상식이 섭취기간동안 소변의 평균 나트륨과 칼륨의 배설량은 각각 139.6 ${\pm}$ 37.3 mEq, 27.7 ${\pm}$ 14.7 mEq이었다. 소변의 나트륨/칼륨 비율은 6.6 ${\pm}$ 4.1이었다. 실험식이 섭취기간동안 소변의 평균 나트륨과 칼륨의 배설량은 각각 100.2 ${\pm}$ 14.5 mEq, 37.1 ${\pm}$ 7.4 mEq이었다. 소변의 나트륨/칼륨 비율은 2.8 ${\pm}$ 0.6이었다. 소변 중 나트륨 배설량과 나트륨/칼륨 비율은 실험식이 섭취기간에 유의적으로 감소하였다 (p < 0.05). 본 연구 결과 NaCl-KCl 혼합식염 식이는 나트륨의 섭취를 감소시키고 칼륨의 섭취를 증가시켜 나트륨/칼륨의 섭취비를 이상적인 수준인 1에 가깝게 변화시켜 주는 것으로 나타나 고혈압의 예방에 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 특히 짠맛에 대한 기호도가 높은 우리나라 사람들에게 짠맛에 대한 기호도를 변화시키지 않고도 실제로 식생활에서 나트륨 섭취를 감소시킬 수 있는 구체적 방안을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 본 연구는 정상혈압을 가진 성인 여성을 대상으로 하였으므로 고혈압 환자 또는 나트륨과 관련이 있는 환자를 대상으로 한 실험이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 또한 소금 섭취가 높은 대상자들이나 나트륨의 섭취를 제한해야 하는 사람들에게 KCl을 이용한 혼합식염을 공급하여 나트륨 섭취를 감소시킴으로써 얻을 수 있는 건강증진 효과에 대한 후속 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다. 그러나 한편으로는 염화칼륨을 보충제로 과도하게 섭취할 경우 위장장애 등을 일으킬 수 있다고 알려져 있으므로 적절한 섭취량을 찾는 연구가 필요할 것이다.

스피커는 전기적 입력 신호를 소리로 전달해 준다. 이 과정에서 특정 주파수에서 변형이 발생하게 되고 그 결과 소리도 변하게 된다. 본 논문은 스피커 출력이 오디오 대역에서 변형이 발생한 경우 이 주파수 대역을 보정하는 방법으로 DSP AMP를 스피커 유닛과 결합시킨 VADSM(Value-Added Digital Speaker Module)를 제안한다. VADSM은 EQ 조정 기능을 이용하여 소리의 변형이 발생한 주파수 대역의 이득을 조정함으로써 스피커 출력의 평탄한 응답 특성을 유지하도록 한다. VADSM은 DSP AMP를 스피커 유니트와 결합하여 스피커 모듈로 만들어지는데 EQ 조정값을 가지고 있어야 한다. 스피커 출력을 마이크로 입력받아서 FFT를 실행한 후 주파수 스펙트럼을 조사하여 주파수별 이득을 추출해 낸 후 VADSM의 EQ를 조정하도록 하는 시스템이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate Na and K balances in healthy adult women. Anthropometric assessments, biochemical analysis of blood, 3-day dietary flood records and collections of 3-day food, 24-hr urine and faces were performed to evaluate intakes and excretions of Na and K in 20 college women living in Seoul. The mean BMI and blood pressure of the subjects were 21.08 and 110.25/67.50mmHg, respectively. Mean daily intake of energy was 1578.84kcal, 79% of Korean RDA. Also, daily intakes of Na and K ware 120.86mEq and 44.20mEq. The urinary and fecal excretions of Na were 99.88 and 4.45mEq/day, and those of K were 30.41 and 8.66mEq/day, respectively. The body retention, retention rate, and apparent absorption of Na were 17.11mEq, 13.23%, and 96.31%, and those of K were 5.82mEq, 8.69%, and 80.12%, respectively. The urinary and fecal Na/K ratio were 3.48 and 0.52. There were significantly positive correlations between 1) urinary Na, K excretions and intakes of Na or K, 2) urinary K and BMI, 3) serum K and serum globulin, and 4) urinary Na excretion and serum haptoglobin level, respectively. The results of this study show that Na intake was higher and K intake was lower than those of other advanced nations. Therefore, nutrition education show instruct people to reduce Na intake and to increase K intake.

This study was reviewed the national greenhouse gas inventory report (NIR) of Annex I countries and estimated national greenhouse gas inventory on wetlands in Korea. Annex I countries submitted National Inventory Report which are focused on land converted to wetlands category and wetland remaining wetland (mainly peat lands) because IPCC did not suggest a formal methodology on flooded land. So we conducted a study on estimating of national greenhouse gas inventory in wetland (flooded land). The total annual $CO_2-eq.$ emission of wetland remaining wetland (flooded land) was ranged from 99.9 Gg $CO_2-eq.$ to 237.1 Gg $CO_2-eq.$ from 1990 to 2012. The $CO_2-eq.$ emissions was declined after peaking in 1995, however, it slightly increasing in recently years. The latest total $CO_2-eq.$ emission from flooded land was 117.7 Gg $CO_2-eq.$ in 2012 which was covered only 0.00002% of national GHG inventory. This means that flooded land is not key-category in Korea. We will consider an improvement for emissions of flooded land, if IPCC suggest formal or complementary methodology.
