Purpose: Lymph node (LN) metastasis is a crucial factor in the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer (GC) and is known to occur more frequently in cases with an advanced T stage. This study aimed to analyze the survival data of patients with advanced LN metastasis in T1 GC. Materials and Methods: From January 2008 to June 2018, 677 patients with pathological stage II GC who underwent radical gastrectomy were divided into an early GC group (EG: T1N2 and T1N3a, n=103) and an advanced GC (AGC) group (AG: T2N1, T2N2, T3N0, T3N1, and T4aN0, n=574). Short- and long-term survival rates were compared between the 2 groups. Results: A total of 80.6% (n=83) of the patients in the EG group and 52.8% (n=303) in the AG group had stage IIA AGC. The extent of LN dissection, number of retrieved LNs, and short-term morbidity and mortality rates did not differ between the 2 groups. The 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) of all patients was 87.8% and the overall survival was 84.0%. RFS was lower in the EG group than in the AG group (82.2% vs. 88.7%, P=0.047). This difference was more pronounced among patients with stage IIA (82.4% vs. 92.9%, P=0.003). Conclusions: T1 GC with multiple LN metastases seems to have a worse prognosis compared to tumors with higher T-stages at the same level. Adjuvant chemotherapy is highly recommended for these patients, and future staging systems may require upstaging T1N2-stage tumors.

Sleep deprivation is an extremely common event in today's society. It has caused learning cognitive skill deterioration and poor concentration, increased disease such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity, sexual function decrease, infertility increase, depression and autonomic nervous system disorder. Sleep deprivation-induced stress caused NADPH oxidase and oxidative stress. And this oxidative stress induces apoptosis. Lilii bulbus and Nelumbins semen are known to mental and physical relaxation effects. In this study, we induced sleep deprivation(SD) in Sprague-Dawley rats in water for 5 days and thereafter administered orally L. bulbus and N. semen for 5 days. Brain tissues were observed by histochemical, immunohistochemical and tunel staining. The immunoreactives of Tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$, Neuronal nitric oxide synthases, Phospho-SAPK/JNK and gp91-phox of the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group were weaker than those of sleep deprivation group. In the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group, apoptosis was decreased than that of sleep deprivation group. Proapoptotic p53, Bax, Cleaved caspase 3 immunoreactives of the administered group were weaker than those of sleep deprivation group, whereas anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 immunoreactity was stronger in the L. bulbus administered group and N. semen administered group. Antioxidant mechanism such as DJ-1, superoxide dismutase 1, Nuclear factor-like 2 immunoreactives of the L. bulbus and N. semen administered group were stronger than those of sleep deprivation group. These results demonstrate that L. bulbus, N. semen had the neuroprotective effects on the sleep deprivation-induced oxidative stress in the hippocampus.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of acupuncture stimulation and relaxation therapy on autonomic nervous system for students with examination stress by HRV, PSV and to find out relationship with anti-stress effect. Methods : The study group consists of 42 students were classified into three groups randomly : acupuncture stimulation group(male n=8, female n=6), relaxation therapy group(male n=8, female n=6) and rest group(male n=8, female n=6). Using heart rate variability and pupil size variability, we measured the value of HRT, SDNN, SDSD, LF norm, HF norm, LF/HF ratio, Pupil area, and compared the changes the sympathetic- parasympathetic activity. Measurement value were compared before and after, during midterm examination and normal times. Results : 1. HRT, LF/HF ratio, LF norm of acupuncture group was significantly decreased and HF norm were significantly increased in HRV after acupuncture stimulation at a term of examination. While variables of the other group were no significantly different. 2. SDNN of acupuncture group were significantly increased in HRV after acupuncture stimulation at normal times. 3. Pupil area, LF norm, HF norm of three group were no significantly different in PSV at a term of examination. 4. Pupil area of relaxation group were significantly decreased in PSV at normal times. While variables of the other group were no significantly different. 5. HRT of rest group were significantly decreased in HRV between three groups at a term of examination and normal times. 6. Pupil area of relaxation group were significantly decreased in PSV between three groups at a term of examination and normal times. Conclusion : The results suggest that acupuncture stimulation is associated with changed activity in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Measurement values of HRV and PSV are suitable to estimate the activity of automatic nervous system.

The clinical effects of epidural nalbuphine were compared to those of epidural morphine in sixty Cesarean delivery. They were physical status 1 or 2 by ASA classification and randomly divided into three groups. They were administered nalbuphine 5 mg(Group N5), nalbuphine 10 mg(Group N10) or morphine 3 mg(Group M3) through an indwelling epidural catheter at the time of peritoneal closure. During the first postoperative 24 hours, their analgesic effects were evaluated by visual analogue scale(0-10), respiration rates and Trieger dot test. The severity of side effects(0-2) was also evaluated. The results were as follows ; 1) The number of patients who needed additional epidural analgesics was least in group M3 (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between group N5 and group N10. 2) The duration between the first and second epidural administration was ; 19.2 hours in group M3, 8.6 hours in group N10 and 5.4 hours in group N5. There was a significant difference each group (p<0.05). 3) From the fourth post operative hour, both groups receiving nalbuphine showed a higher VAS score compared to group M3(p<0.05). 4) The incidence of pruritus, nausea, vomiting and voiding difficulty were more severe in group M3 compared with the other groups. However the severity did not increase with increasing nalbuphine dosage. 5) There were no patients showing objective sedation or low respiration rate(10 times/minute). We concluded that epidural administration of nalbuphine 5 mg or 10 mg is one way of post operative pain control. Its side effects were less than epidural morphine, but it is a less convenient in the method of analgesia.

본 연구에서는 트랜스 지방 섭취가 마우스의 혈청, 심장, 간 및 신장의 중성지질, 총콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 및 HDL-콜레스테롤의 함량에 미치는 영향과 트랜스 지방 섭취에 따른 지방산 조성 변화에 대하여 n-3 적절군과 n-3 결핍군과 비교하여 검토하였다. 혈청, 간 및 신장 균질물들에서 n-3 결핍군과 트랜스군의 중성지질의 함량은 n-3 적절군보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 총콜레스테롤과 LDL-콜레스테롤의 경우에서도 n-3 결핍군과 트랜스군의 혈청에서 n-3 적절군보다 유의적으로 높은 함량을 나타내었다 (p<0.05). 특히 간과 심장에서는 트랜스군의 총콜레스테롤과 LDL-콜레스테롤 함량이 n-3 결핍군과 비교했을 때 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 한편, HDL-콜레스테롤 함량의 경우, 트랜스군의 간에서 가장 낮은 함량을 나타내었고 다음으로 n-3 결핍군이며 n-3 적절군의 경우 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 혈청을 비롯한 모든 조직에서 트랜스 지방 섭취는 트랜스 지방산의 함량을 증가시켰다. 혈청에서 n-3 결핍군과 비교했을 때 트랜스군의 트랜스 지방산들을 제외하고 거의 모든 지방산 조성에 유의적 차이가 없었으나 18:2n-6cis와 20:2n-6의 경우 n-3 결핍군에 비해 높은 함량을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 심장, 간 및 신장의 지방산 조성에서 n-3 결핍군과 트랜스군은 n-3 적절군에 비해 총monounsaturated 함량은 높았고 총포화지방산 함량은 유의적으로 낮았다(p<0.05). 트랜스군은 n-3 결핍군과 비교했을 때 거의 모든 지방산 조성에 유의적 차이가 없었으나 n-6 지방산종들 중 18:2n-6cis와 20:2n-6의 함량은 n-3 결핍군에 비하여 높았다(p<0.05). DHA 함량의 경우 n-3 결핍군과 트랜스군간에 유의적 차이가 없었으나 n-3 적절군에 비해 매우 낮았다. 따라서 트랜스 지방 섭취는 관상동맥질환의 중요한 위험인자인 중성지질, 총콜레스테롤 및 LDL-콜레스테롤 함량을 증가시키므로 발병률을 더 상승시킬 것으로 예상된다.

Friction and wear of pressureless sintered Ti(C,N)-WC ceramics were studied using a ball-on-reciprocating flat apparatus in open air. The silicon nitride ball and the cemented carbide (WC-Co) ball were used against the Ti(C,N)-WC plate samples. The friction coefficients of the Ti(C,N)-WC samples against the silicon nitride ball and the cemented carbide ball were about 0.57 and 0.3, respectively. The wear coefficient of the sample without WC addition was 5 times as large as that of the sample with 10 mole % WC addition when tested against the silicon nitride ball under 98 N. The higher wear coefficient of Ti(C,N)-0WC was explained in part by larger grain size. Wear occurred mainly by grain dislodgment after intergranular cracking mainly caused by the accumulated stress within the grains.

In this study, the amount of WC and group N elements of Ti(C, N) cermet tool was investigated. The composition of WC was changed from 5 to 20% to determine the effect of WC on the cutting performance of cermet tool. The more WC was added, the longer the tool life of the cermet tool was. The cermet with 20% WC showed the best fracture toughness. The effect of group N elements ; ZrC, ZrN and HfC was also investigated by adding each of them to manufacture the cermet tool with fixed 14% WC composition. The cermet with 1% group N ZrC and 14% WC showed the best cutting performance among the investigated cermet tools.

Defined the proper C-graph G^*(Γ) of a group Γ of order n as a subgraph of the C-graph G(Γ) induced by the vertex set Γ ⧵ {i}, where i is the identity element of the group Γ. Observed that, the number of undirected edges of these two graphs are same, but the number of directed edges of G^*(Γ) is n-1 less than that of G(Γ). Established a characterization of the groups for which the proper C-graph is a complete undirected graph. Obtained a method to identify permutations in S_n that are either a transposition or a product of disjoint transpositions, directly from the corresponding proper C-graph G^*(S_n).
