Purpose: Kidney transplantation (KT) is an ideal treatment for pediatric patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We report the clinical outcomes of pediatric ESRD patients who underwent KT in a single regional center. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of 60 pediatric patients who were diagnosed with ESRD and underwent KT in our hospital between January 1985 and June 2016. Results: A total of 60 children and adolescents (40 male, 20 female; mean age, $13.86{\pm}4.26$ years) were included in this study. Six patients (10.0%) underwent KT immediately after receiving the diagnosis of ESRD, while the others underwent KT after dialysis treatment (mean period of dialysis, $368.7{\pm}4,41.8$ days). The mean donor age (50 living-related [83.3%], 10 deceased [16.7%]) was $40.0{\pm}12.85$ years and the male:female ratio was 1.07:1. The most common cause of ESRD was chronic glomerulonephritis. The overall survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years after KT were 98%, 98%, and 96%, respectively, while the graft survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 93%, 86%, and 68%, respectively. Children who underwent KT before 10 years of age had better monthly growth rates than those who underwent KT later than 10 years of age. Conclusions: KT is performed less frequently in children than in adults, but causes of ESRD vary and clinical outcomes after KT greatly affect the growth and development of pediatric patients. Therefore, further analysis and monitoring of clinical progression after KT in pediatric ESRD patients are necessary.

Objectives: Kinesiology tape (KT) creates a pulling force on the skin, thus improving blood and lymph flow by alleviating hemorrhage and congestion of lymphatic fluid. The authors hypothesized that the use of KT could be beneficial for the management of complications after head and neck surgery and designed this study to evaluate the effects of KT on swelling, pain, and trismus after enucleation of mandibular dentigerous cysts with third molar extraction. Materials and Methods: Forty patients who underwent enucleation of a dentigerous cyst with extraction of the mandibular third molar were selected. The patients were randomized into two groups (n=20 each): a KT group, where KT was applied after surgery in addition to basic postoperative care, and a control group, where patients received basic postoperative care without KT application. Swelling, pain, and trismus were evaluated before surgery (T0) and on postoperative days 1 (T1), 2 (T2), and 3 (T3). Cyst volume, gauze weight for assessing bleeding, and operation time were recorded. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups in the change in swelling up to T1 and the change in swelling between T1 and T2. The maximum swelling in the KT group was significantly less than that in the No-KT group and maximum swelling appeared faster in the KT group than in the No-KT group. Both groups showed a mild pain response but there was no significant difference between the two groups. There was no significant difference on interincisal distance change between the two groups. There were no correlations between cyst volume, bleeding, operation time, and maximum swelling. Conclusion: KT can effectively manage facial swelling after oral and maxillofacial surgeries such as cyst enucleation and third molar extraction, thus improving postoperative patient satisfaction levels and quality of life.

단문메시지서비스는 지난 몇년간 이동통신분야에서 괄목할만한 성장을 이루어 가장 보편적인 서비스중의 하나로 자리매김 하였으며, 현재는 가입자 상호간의 단순한 메시지 송수신뿐 아니라 각종 부가 정보를 제공하는 등 상업적인 용도로도 사용되고 있다. 이러한 이동통신망에서 단문메시지서비스의 광범위한 사용은 유선망에서도 기존 음성위주의 서비스를 벗어나 메시지서비스를 제공케 하였으며, 2002년 7월 현재 독일, 이탈리아와 한국등에서 유선망 메시지서비스를 제공하고 있다. 이에 본 문서는 지난 4월부터 제공되기 시작한 KT의 단문메시지서비스를 위한 유선망 문자메시지 서버의 구현과 망 구축 기술에 대하여 서술한다.

We examine the information transmission between the KT Spot and the KT Futures Index, the SK Telecom Spot and the SK Telecom Futures Index, based on the returns data offered by the Korea Exchange. The data includes daily return data from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2014. Utilizing a dynamic analytical tool-the VAR model, Granger Causality test, Impulse Response Function and Variance Decomposition have been implemented. The results of the analysis are as follows. Firstly, results of Granger Causality test suggests the existence of mutual causality the KT Futures Index and the SK Telecom Futures Index precede and have explanatory power the KT Spot and the SK Telecom Spot However the results also identified a greater causality and explanatory power of the KT Spot and the SK Telecom Spot over the KT Futures Index and the SK Telecom Futures Index. Secondly, the results of impulse response function suggest that the KT Futures Index show immediate response to the KT Spot and are influenced by till time 4. From time 2, the impact gradually disappears. Also the SKT Futures Index show immediate response to the SKT Spot and are influenced by till time 4. From time 2, the impact gradually disappears. Lastly, the variance decomposition analysis shows that the changes of return of the KT Spot and SKT Spot are dependent on those of the KT Futures Index and the SK Telecom Futures Index. This implies that returns on the KT Spot and SKT Spot have a significant influence over returns on the KT Futures Index and the SK Telecom Futures Index. It contributes to the understanding of market price formation function through analysis of detached the KT Spot and the KT Futures Index, the SK Telecom Spot and the SK Telecom Futures Index.

정부 BcN의 1차년도 시범사업에 참여한 KT 옥타브 컨소시움에서는 고객이 요구할 것으로 판단되는 서비스를 선별하여 영상 단말기반으로 다양한 통합서비스를 제공하였다. KT의 BcN은 NGN의 핵심표준인 IMS구조를 기반으로 구축하였으나, 보다 광범위한 BcN서비스 지원구조로써는 부족하고 상이한 면이 있다. 본 논문에서는 KT BcN 서비스의 종류. 구조를 IMS 표준에 비교하여 기술하고, 대표적인 시나리오, 시범사업결과 및 향후방향에 대해서 정리하였다.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Kinesio taping (KT) for balance and gait in patients with stroke through meta-analysis of studies conducted in Korea. Methods: RISS, Science on, and DBPia were the three databases used to collect articles on KT. Keywords such as "Stroke," "Kinesio taping," "Elasticity taping," and "Taping" were used to search for published articles. We systematically searched from the inception of each database to November 2020. Interventions and comparisons were KT and without KT. Outcome measures were the timed up and go (TUG) and 10-meter walking tests (10MWT). Consequently, six studies were selected for the second screening using meta-analyses. Results: Based on the results of the meta-analysis, comparison between patients with and without KT showed that KT was effective for TUG (ES: 2.51, 95% CI: 2.12 to 2.90); however, it was not effective for 10MWT (ES: 0.79, 95% CI: -0.04 to 1.62). Conclusion: The current evidence suggests that KT is more effective than without KT interventions for balance function in post-stroke patients. However, more well-conducted randomized controlled trials are required in the future.

This paper delineates the applied thermal environmental test profiles using test conditions and procedures based on MIL-STD-810 Method 501 (High Temperature Test Method) and Method 502 (Low Temperature Test Method). The test profiles have been optimized in order to comply with export customer's requirements and product reliability in high and low temperature environment for XKT-1 (KT-1 Export Version) aircraft. Additionally, the tests are suitable for large sized environmental chambers, which is one of the facilities of ADD (Agency for Defense Development) according to ETEMP (Environmental Test and Evaluation Master Plan). The results of these test profiles and test executions satisfy the customer requirements and product reliability. The present paper can be applied to the other export programs with more severe temperature conditions.

Anti-amnestic activities of Korean red ginseng (Ginseng Radix Rubra) and Crude drug-combined preparations (RGCDP-1, RGCDP-2, and RGCDP-3) were evaluated by the animal experiment. RGCDP-1 and RGCDP-2 were prepared based on Korean folk prescriptions, 'Chongmyongtang' and 'Guibitang', respectively, while RGCDP-3, by a combination of both. Among the three preparations, RGCDP-3 was found to show the most potent anti-amnestic activity as evaluated by the passive avoidance test with mice, indicating synergistic action by combined effect of RGCDP-1 and RGCDP-2.
