시각장애인의 활동범위가 늘어나면서 복잡하고 대형화된 건물들 속에서 목적지까지 안전하게 찾아가기란 쉽지 않다. 시각장애인을 위해 GPS 신호나 음성 알림 정보, 점자 유도 블록, 음향 신호기 등을 활용한 안내 시스템이 있지만 이는 대부분 실외 안내 시스템으로 실내에서는 적합하지 않다. 이에 본 논문에서는 보편화된 스마트 폰을 이용하여 시각장애인에게 해당 목적지에 대한 방향, 거리, 높이, 장애물 등의 목적지까지의 다양한 정보를 음성기술인 TTS(Text to Speech)와 촉각기술인 햅틱(Haptic) 그리고 블루투스 4.0기반의 근거리 무선통신 기술인 비콘을 이용하여 사용자에게 알려 줄 수 있는 실내 위치 추정 및 안내 시스템을 제안한다. 제한된 시스템의 실험 결과에서 사용자는 목적지까지의 최적 경로를 검색하여 TTS와 Haptic 기술을 이용해 안전하고 정확하게 안내받을 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the bone regeneration of particulated hydroxyapatite(HA) and block type of hydroxyapatite graft in rabbit calvarial defects. Methods: An 8 mm calvarial circular defects were created in sixteen young adult New Zealand white male rabbits (weight $3.0{\sim}3.5kg$). Each defects were filled with Bio-Oss, particulated HA and block type HA. Sham surgery control defects were filled with blood clots. The specimens were harvested at 4 weeks and 8 weeks for histologic and histomorphometric evaluation. Results: Histomorphometric analysis demonstrated statistical differences in defect closure, new bone formation, and bone density of the four groups. Block type of HA group showed increased bone formation and bone density at 4 weeks and 8 weeks compared with Bio-Oss group or sham surgery control group(p<0.05). Conclusions: Block type of HA is an effective material for osteoconduction in rabbit calvarial defects, which may acts as a guide in use of these products in human application.

Background: Psoas compartment block with local anesthetics and corticosteroids is one of the treatments which provides long term analgesia of the lower back and anterior thigh unilaterally, and its technical easiness and safety allows blind application without C-arm guidance in the out-patient clinic. This study aimed to evaluate the mean of the depth from the skin to the psoas compartment, and its correlation to the following attributes: age, weight, height and PI (Ponderal Index). Methods: We investigated 28 patients who underwent psoas compartment block. All blocks were performed using Chayen's method (punctured at the point of 3 cm caudally and 5 cm laterally from the 4th lumbar vertebral spinous process) with a 22 G, 8 cm Tuohy needle under C-arm guidance. We recorded the depth from skin to the psoas compartment, height, weight and PI (weight (kg)/height (cm)$\times100$ (%)). Data were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. The correlations between the depth and other attributes identified by p-value of less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The mean depths from skin to the psoas compartment were $6.02{\pm}0.28$ cm in men, $5.44{\pm}0.22$ cm in women. There is no significant correlation between the depth and other patient's attributes. Conclusions: The mean depths from skin to the psoas compartment may be one of the guide for psoas compartment block in outpatient clinics without C-arm guidance.

개별요소법은 절리가 발달한 불연속 암반의 모델링에 매우 유력한 수치해석적 방법이다. 또한 발파 후 큰 변위가 일어나는 단계에서의 모델링에도 효과적이다. 개별요소법에서 각 요소는 강체로 가정하고, 요소 간 약간의 중첩을 허용하여 접촉 변위로부터 상호 작용력을 계산한다. 개별요소의 경계로 정의되는 절리의 강성은 블록요소 상호 간의 거동을 결정하는 중요한 변수로서 변형의 크기와 파괴 양상에 영향을 준다. 그러나 요소 간 과도한 중첩으로 인한 수치해석적 불안정성을 방지하기 위해서 어떤 준정적인 문제에 있어서는 실제 절리 물성과 관계없이 임의로 선정된 절리 강성 값이 사용되기도 한다. 해석의 주된 관심사가 정밀도 높은 변형의 크기 예측이냐, 불연속체의 파괴 양상이나 파괴 후 파괴된 블록들의 거동 예측이냐에 따라, 절리 강성에 대한 입력 자료 값은 결과에 큰 영향을 주지 않을 수도 있고, 심각한 예측 오류를 가져올 수도 있다. 본 연구는 개별요소법을 이용한 수치해석 모델링에서 절리 강성 값이 해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 이해하고 입력자료 선정 지침에 도움을 주고자 수행되었다.

Purpose: The ratio of the visually impaired is gradually increasing due to various causes such as natural aging, accidents, and environmental changes. Therefore, this study has two folds. Firstly, it aims to analyze the current satisfaction level with information facilities for the visually impaired. Secondly, it aims to examine the factors affecting the satisfaction with indoor information facilities. Through this study, it helps to identify problems of information facilities for the visually impaired and it works as a practical data for further improvements. Methods: For 50 visually impaired people, a telephone survey was conducted on the satisfaction with the braille blocks, braille signboards, braille information boards with tactile map, audio guide devices, and safety egress devices. Microsoft Excel and SPSS 26.0 were used for the analysis. Results: It was confirmed that the overall satisfaction with the indoor information facilities was very low. The more the visually impaired people recognized the installation standards, and the better the maintenance was, the higher the satisfaction. In the case of braille blocks and braille signboards, the effect of information transfer on satisfaction was relatively high. In the case of audio guide device and safety egress device, the standard suitability influenced satisfaction. Implications: The low level of satisfaction with the overall information facilities can impede visually impaired people from receiving practical help through the information facilities. Factors influencing the satisfaction level of each facility were identified, which makes it possible to prepare effective improvement measures.

Thoracic sympathetic ganglion block(TSGB) with alcohol is a traditional method for treating a variety of disease at pain clinics. But it is a difficult block to perform requiring both skill and experience. Therefore, we performed a thoracic endoscopic cauterization to evaluate the efficacy of this method. A patient suffering sever forearm and hand pain due to radius fracture of the right arm, one and half years earlier, was referred to several different orthopaedic department of various hospitals with continued aggravated symptoms. He was then admitted to our hospital's orthopaedic department. Our diagnosis, confirmed by thermography, revealed reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Patients was therefore referred to the pain clinic where treatment consisted of endoscopic thoracic sympathetic cauterization under general anesthesia. Patient was intubated with Robertashow 37 Fr. double lumen tube left sided. Left lateral and slight head up position was applied to make lesion side up. Incisions were made to penetrate trocas 5 mm diamether on 4 th intercostal space along mid axillary line and midclavicular line. Negative pressure suction on ipsilateral lung and CO2 insufflation under 10 mmHg was applied to reduce lung size. Cauterization on thoracic sympathetic chain at T3 level was done under endoscoic guide. 24 Fr. chest tube was inserted. Patient's symptoms cleared and he was satisfied with the results of this treatment.

Background: Stellate ganglion block (SGB) is a selective sympathetic blockade that affects the head, neck and the upper extremities. It is an important method that has been frequently used in pain clinics due to its wide range of indications. But there were some problem with performing SGB at C6 or C7. Thus, various techniques have been recently introduced to successfully perform SGB; among them, there is the oblique approach. This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the oblique approach for performing SGB in C7. Methods: Forty six patients with sudden hearing loss were studied. In group I, the patient underwent C7 oblique SGB with 1% mepivacaine (3 ml) under fluoroscopic guidance. In group II, the patients underwent the C7 classical anterior approach SGB with 1% mepivaine (5 ml) under fluoroscopic guidance. We compared the occurrence of Horner's syndrome, the side effects and the changes of temperature of the skin of the hand. Results: The rate of Horner's syndrome was 81.5% in the group I and 84.2% in the group II. The rate of incurring increased skin temperature (${\geq}34^{\circ}C$) of the fingers was 77.7% and 79.4% in each group, respectively. Conclusions: The C7 oblique approach for SGB showed the same SGB effect compared with the C7 anterior approach for SGB, and there were also fewer complications. We conclude that C7 oblique SGB may be a beneficial method for treating patients with this particular malady.

Rock is a heterogeneous material, which introduces complexity in the analysis of rock slopes, since both the existing discontinuities within the rock mass and the intact rock contribute to the degradation of strength. Rock failure is often catastrophic due to the brittle nature of the material, involving the sliding along structural planes and the fracturing of rock bridge. This paper proposes an advanced discretization method of rock mass based on block theory. An in-house software, GeoSMA-3D, has been developed to generate the discrete fracture network (DFN) model, considering both measured and artificial joints. Measured joints are obtained from the photogrammetry analysis on the excavation face. Statistical tools then facilitate to derive artificial joints within the rock mass. Key blocks are searched to provide guidance on potential reinforcement measures. The discretized blocky system is subsequently implemented into a discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) code. Strength reduction technique is employed to analyze the stability of the slope, where the factor of safety can be obtained once excessive deformation of slope profile is observed. The combined analysis approach also provides the failure mode, which can be used to guide the choice of strengthening strategy if needed. Finally, an illustrated example is presented for the analysis of a rock slope of 20 m height inclined at $60^{\circ}$ using combined GeoSMA-3D and DDA calculation.
