Purpose: It is difficult to obtain biopsies from gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) prior to surgery because GISTs are submucoal tumors, despite being the most common nonepithelial neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Unlike anatomic imaging techniques, PET-CT, which is a molecular imaging tool, can be a useful technique for assessing tumor activity and predicting the malignant potential of certain tumors. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the usefulness of PET-CT as a pre-operative prognostic factor for GISTs by analyzing the correlation between the existing post-operative prognostic factors and the maximum SUV uptake (SUVmax) of pre-operative 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) PET-CT. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 26 patients who were diagnosed with gastric GISTs and underwent surgery after being examined with pre-operative FDG PET-CT. An analysis of the correlation bewteen (i) NIH risk classification and the Ki-67 proliferation index, which are post-operative prognostic factors, and (ii) the SUVmax of PET-CT, which is a pre-operative prognostic factor, was performed. Results: There were significant correlations between (i) SUVmax and (ii) Ki-67 index, tumor size, mitotic count, and NIH risk group (r=0.854, 0.888, 0.791, and 0.756, respectively). The optimal cut-off value for SUVmax was 3.94 between "low-risk malignancy" and "high-risk malignancy" groups. The sensitivity and specificity of SUVmax for predicting the risk of malignancy were 85.7% and 94.7%, respectively. Conclusions: The SUVmax of PET-CT is associated with Ki-67 index, tumor size, mitotic count, and NIH classification. Therefore, it is believed that PET-CT is a relatively safe, non-invasive diagnostic tool for assessing malignant potential pre-operatively.

This study was executed to evaluate the phenolic content, DPPH radical scavenging rate, and the cytotoxic effect in human cancer cell, 3T3-L1 cell from C. lanceolata extracts at various ethanol concentration. Total polyphenol and flavonoid content of the C. lanceolata at various ethanol concentration showed the high amount in 70%, 100% ethanol extract. The DPPH radical scavenging activity progressively increased in a dose-dependent manner, and showed the highest in 100% ethanol extract. The cytotoxic effect against human cancer cell of the C. lanceolata was higher in 50% and 70% ethanol extracts. In particular, the cytotoxic effect in MCF-7 cell was relatively higher than in other cells. The $IC_{50}$ (concentration causing 50% cell death) value showed the highest on MCF-7 cell ($538.39{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ in 70% ethanol extract, and exhibited significant activity against Hela cell ($637.87{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, Calu-6 cell ($728.64{\mu}g/m{\ell}$. The extract of 70% ethanol at $1,000{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ exhibited a pronounced cytotoxic effect on 3T3-L1 cell comparable to that of the other extracts, and reduced in a concentration-dependent manner.

Aptamer is the single-stranded oligonucleotide which binds to various target molecules such as proteins, peptides, lipids and small organic molecules with high affinity and specificity. DNA aptamers specific for the $17{\beta}-estradiol$ were selected by SELEX (Systematic Evolution of Ligands by EXponential enrichment) process from a random DNA library. These DNA aptamers have a high affinity to $17{\beta}-estradiol$ as an endocrine disrupting chemical. Nanowell and $200{\mu}m$ gold electrode were used as substrate for DNA aptamer immobilization and electrochemical analysis. Especially, nanowell gold electrode was fabricated by e-beam lithography. The size of single nanowell is 130nm and 40,000 nanowells were deposited on one gold electrode. The immobilization method was based on the interaction between the biotinylated aptamer and streptavidin deposited on gold electrode previously. Immobilization procedure was optimized by surface plasma resonance (SPR) and electrochemical analysis. After the immobilization of DNA aptamer on streptavidin modified gold electrode, $17{\beta}-estradiol$ solution was treated on aptamer immobilized gold electrode. The current of gold electrode was decreased by the binding of $17{\beta}-estradiol$ to DNA aptamer immobilized on gold electrode. However, in negative control experiments of 1-aminoanthraquinone and 2-methoxynaphthalene, the current was rarely decreased. And more sensitive data was obtained from nanowell gold electrode comparing with $200{\mu}m$ gold electrode.

Understanding sources and contributions of $PM_{2.5}$ mass and particulate PAHs from traffic-related pollution can provide valuable information for alleviating air contamination from car emissions in urban areas. Two sampling sites at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST, $35.228^{\circ}N$, $126.843^{\circ}E$) and National institute of environmental research NamBu Supersite (NNBS, $35.226^{\circ}N$, $126.848^{\circ}E$) were selected for comprehensive road-oriented-PM investigations. Continuous measurements from optical particle sizer (OPS) and optical particle counter (OPC) with 24 hr integrated filter based samplers for organic carbon, water soluble organic carbon, and Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were conducted during Nov. 3 through 22 in 2014. As a result, $PM_{2.5}$ mass concentrations using OPC and OPS in NNBS presented about twice higher than in GIST due to road dust impacts based on wind direction analysis. In addition, ratios of elemental carbon (EC) to organic carbon (OC) and water insoluble organic carbon (WIOC) to organic carbon (OC) supported an additional evidence of the primary pollutant contributions oriented from road dust. PAHs related to 5 rings such as benzo(e&a)pyrene indicates higher associations.

In this study, the deposition of micrometer-scale metallic interconnects on LCD glass for the repair of open-circuit type defects is investigated. Although there had been a few studies Since 1980 s for the deposition of metallic interconnects by laser-induced chemical vapor deposition, those studies mostly used continuous wave lasers. In this work, a third harmonic Nd:YLF laser (351nm) of high repetition rates, up to 10 KHz, was used as the illumination source and $W(CO)_6$ was selected as the precursor. General characteristics of the metal deposit (tungsten) such as height, width, morphology as well as electrical properties were examined for various process conditions. Height of the deposited tungsten lines ranged from 35 to 500 nm depending on laser power and scan speed while the width was controlled between $3\~50{\mu}$ using a slit placed in the beam path. The resistivity of the deposited tungsten lines was measured to be below 1 $O\cdot{\mu}m$, which is an acceptable value according to the manufacturing standard. The tungsten lines produced at high scan speed had good surface morphology with little particles around the patterns. Experimental results demonstrated that it is likely that the deposit forms through a hybrid process, namely through the combination of photolytic and pyrolytic mechanisms.

In this paper, we have proposed the processing and analyzing the linked open data (LOD), a kind of big-data, using resources of cloud computing. The LOD is web-based open data in order to share and recycle of public data. Specially, we defined the InfograaS (Info-graphic as a service), new business area of SaaS (software as a service), to support visualization technique for BA (business analytics) and Info-graphic. The goal of this study is easily to use it by the non-specialist and beginner without experts of visualization and business analysis. Data visualization is the process to represent visually and understand the data analysis easily. The purpose of data visualization is to deliver information clearly and effectively by chart and figure. The big data of public data are shared and presented in the charts and the graphics understood easily by various processing results using Hadoop, R, machine learning, and data mining of open source and resources of cloud computing.

기존의 H.264/AVC 비디오 표준은 고화질 비디오 부호화를 지원하지만 고해상도에 특화된 요소 기술이 도입되지 않아 만족할만한 성능을 보이지 못한다. 현존하는 동영상 압축 표준 중 가장 뛰어난 H.264/AVC 표준의 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 예측은 매크로블록에 인접한 최대 33개의 주변 화소를 이용하여 매크로블록에 속한 256개의 화소 값을 예측한다. 특히, 전체 예측 모드 중 수직과 수평 예측 모드에서는 16개의 수직 또는 수평 위치에 위치한 주변 화소로 전체 매크로블록 내의 화소 값을 예측하므로 매크로 블록의 끝으로 갈수록 예측의 정확도가 떨어져 부호화 비트가 증가한다. 고화질 영상에서는 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 모드로 부호화되는 블록이 많으므로 수행되므로 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 예측의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 H.264/AVC의 예측 방법보다 예측 정확도가 높은 새로운 라인 기반 $16{\times}16$ 인트라 예측 방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 편평한 특성을 보이는 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 블록이라도 좀 더 가까운 화소를 참조 화소로 사용하면 예측의 정확도를 높여 부호화 비트를 줄일 수 있다. 이를 이용하여 제안하는 알고리즘에서는 인트라 $16{\times}16$ 블록에서 16개 화소 한 줄을 단위로 예측 및 부호화를 수행한다. 1080p HD급 테스트 영상을 이용하여 실험한 결과, 기존의 H.264/AVC FRExt High 프로파일에 비해 평균 약 6.92%의 부호화 비트를 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, a 3D mechanical model based on pulmonary nodule segmentation method is proposed. The proposed method has three main parts. First, an initial 3D mechanical model is generated. The model is made up of many triangle elements resulting in forming whole shape of the model as sphere. Second, points of the model are deformed, and finally internal and external energies according to each deformation are calculated. The internal energy is determined by the model shape, and the external energy is determined by intensity. After the model is deformed, the process of searching the minimum energy generated by the deformation is executed repetitively. If the model energy converges, the nodule is segmented by using the proposed model. The proposed method greatly improves the result compared with conventional methods.
