An on-going creative process was the major principle of Kantor's artistic endeavors. Kantor's emphasis on process grew out of his frustration with the experience of creation being isolated from the audience in the present time, during the moments of encounter. At the same time, however, Kantor was always aware of the fact that the first night of each and every performance that he made was the last point of his creative intervention. Despite being performed live in the present time, Kantor saw theatre essentially as an end product. This does not mean that Kantor abandoned the concept of on-going process, for process was for the artist a means to reject the idea of a finished work of art and to denounce the feeling of satisfaction derived from the traditional denouement in representational theatre. For him, theatre that dominated his time isolated the audience from the art work and the artist, and from this perspective his continual emphasis on process should be understood as an aesthetic principle in order to open up and expand the dimension of art into the realm of the spectator so that the experiences of both the artist and spectator may coexist. The heaviest barrier that separated the artist and his work from its audience was the creative structure that governed Western art. In theatre it was the dramatic structure that was the main object of his series of severe challenges. Not only did it fail to represent reality but it distorted reality, creating nothing but artificial illusion. Under this condition, all that was permitted to the audience was mirages. However, Kantor never completely discarded illusion from his theatre. The point for him was always to created a circumstance where the illusory reality of drama comes to exist within the dimensions of our reality. It was Kantor's belief that instead of a total denial of illusion, his theatre should strategically accommodate illusion which comes from reality. And, the aim of Kantor's theatrical experiments was to invite the audience into this ambience and transform the experience of his audience into a much more participatory one. This paper traces the ways in which Kantor transgressed the dominating conventions of representational, literary theatre, and how such attempts induced an alternative mode of spectatorship. The study will begin from an investigation into Kantor's attitude towards illusion and reality, and then move onto a closer inspection of how he spatially and dramaturgically materialized his concepts on stage, giving special focus on Wielopole, Wielopole.

피부의 탄성은 주로 콜라겐, 탄력섬유 등이 풍부한 진피의 영향을 받는다. 하지만, 피부의 가장 바깥층인 각질층의 변화가 피부의 기계적인 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해선 아직 명확하게 밝혀지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 새롭게 디자인한 시험방법을 통해 피부 깊이별 탄성 특성과 수화과정을 통한 각질층 변화가 피부 탄성 특성에 어떻게 영향을 주는지를 알아보았다. 또한 이 방법을 이용해 얼굴피부와 하박내측 피부의 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 25-40세 연령의 건강한 성인 10명을 대상으로, 피부 깊이별 탄성 특성을 연구하기 위해 $Cutometer^{(R)}$의 음압을 다양하게 설정하여 얼굴피부와 하박내측 피부의 탄성 특성을 측정하여 비교 평가하였다. 음압은 100, 200, 300, 450 mbar로 구분하여 측정하였다. 또한 충분한 수화과정을 통해 각질층의 변화를 유도하고, 다양한 음압 조건에서 피부 탄성 특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 음압 조건을 달리함에 따라 피부 깊이에 따른 탄성 특성 측정이 가능함을 확인하였다. 그리고 하박내측 피부의 R7 값은 모든 음압조건에서 얼굴피부보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p < 0.05). 또한 수화과정에 의한 각질층의 변화는 피부탄성 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 확인하였다. 특히 얼굴피부의 R7 값은 300 mbar 음압조건에서 수화전 상태의 피부에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 변화하였다(p < 0.05). 그리고 전체적으로 얼굴피부가 하박내측 피부보다 수화과정에 더 크게 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 다양한 음압조건과 피부 수화 과정을 활용한다면, 각질층 및 표피층의 변화를 고려한 피부탄력특성을 평가할 수 있는 유용한 시험법이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Background/Aims: There have been numerous efforts to reduce mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) with antiviral agents during pregnancy. However, there are limited data regarding the outcomes of pregnant women after delivery. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of antiviral agents in preventing MTCT of HBV and maternal long-term outcomes. Methods: The HBV-infected pregnant women treated with antiviral agents to prevent MTCT were retrospectively reviewed. Forty-one pregnant women who received telbivudine or tenofovir during late pregnancy (28-34 week) were analyzed. Hepatitis B virus surface antibody (HBsAb) positivity was tested in 43 infants after 7 months of birth. Eleven mothers were followed >1 year after delivery. Results: The mean HBV DNA titer before antiviral therapy was 8.67 (6.60-9.49) log copies/mL, and the median age at delivery was 32 years (range, 22-40). Eleven patients were treated with tenofovir and 30 with telbivudine. The median duration was 57 days (range, 23-100), and the median HBV DNA titer at birth was 5.06 log copies/mL (range, 2.06-6.50). Antiviral treatments were associated with significant HBV DNA reduction (P<0.001). Among 43 infants (two cases of twins), HBsAb was not detected in two, subsequently confirmed to have HBV infection. Biochemical flare was observed in two of 11 mothers followed >12 months, and an antiviral agent was administered. Conclusions: Antiviral treatment during late pregnancy effectively reduced MTCT. Long-term follow-up should be required in such cases. In addition, given that maternal biochemical flare occurred in 18% of mothers, re-administration of antiviral agents might be required.

Background: Intrapleural urokinase is one of the most widely used fibrinolytic agents in the treatment of complicated parapneumonic effusion (CPPE). However, little research has been performed on the optimal urokinase dosage. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment efficacy of half dose urokinase compared with conventional dose urokinase. Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 92 patients with CPPE or empyema who underwent intrapleural urokinase treatment at two tertiary hospitals. Patients received antibiotics, chest tube drainage, and other treatments as part of routine care. The primary outcome was the treatment success rate in the half dose urokinase group (50,000 IU daily for maximal 6 days) and the conventional dose urokinase group (100,000 IU daily). Treatment success was defined as clinical and radiological improvements without surgical treatment or re-admission within one month. Results: Forty-four patients received half dose urokinase, whereas 48 patients were treated with conventional dose urokinase. Both groups were relatively well matched at baseline, excluding higher serum white blood cell count and higher empyema prevalence in the half dose urokinase group. The treatment success rate was not different between the two groups (p=0.048). There were no differences in the rate of in-hospital death and surgical treatment, hospitalization duration, and indwelling catheter duration. In the multivariate analysis, urokinase dose was not a predictor of treatment success. Conclusion: Half dose intrapleural urokinase is equally effective conventional dose urokinase in treating patients with CPPE or empyema.

본 연구에서는 재래생강과 중국종자생강 간의 증숙 시간별 총 페놀화합물, 총 플라보노이드, ABTS 및 DPPH 라디칼 소거능, gingerol, shogaol 함량을 비교 분석하였다. 총 플라보노이드와 총 페놀 화합물, ABTS radical 소거능의 경우 대체적으로 증숙 6시간에서 가장 높은 함량을 나타내다가 그 이상으로 증숙할수록 오히려 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 생강 중에서는 재래생강인 WO-2가 가장 높게 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 증숙 시간별로 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 생강의 gingerol 함량은 대조군에서 WO-2가 1,351 mg/kg으로 가장 높은 함량을 나타냈다. 증숙 시간에 비례하여 gingerol의 함량은 감소하고, shogaol의 함량은 증가하였는데 증숙 8시간에서 WO-2가 생강 중에서도 가장 높았으며, 또한 종자별로도 재래생강이 중국 종자생강보다 shogaol 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 재래생강이 중국종자생강보다 기능성 함량이 높음을 확인하였으며 증숙 처리된 재래생강을 활용하여 다양한 식품을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Type II solar radio bursts show frequency drifts from high to low over time. They have been known as a signature of coronal shock associated with Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and/or flares, which cause an abrupt change in the space environment near the Earth (space weather). Therefore, early detection of type II bursts is important for forecasting of space weather. In this study, we develop a deep-learning (DL) model for the automatic detection of type II bursts. For this purpose, we adopted a 1-D Convolution Neutral Network (CNN) as it is well-suited for processing spatiotemporal information within the applied data set. We utilized a total of 286 radio burst spectrum images obtained by Hiraiso Radio Spectrograph (HiRAS) from 1991 and 2012, along with 231 spectrum images without the bursts from 2009 to 2015, to recognizes type II bursts. The burst types were labeled manually according to their spectra features in an answer table. Subsequently, we applied the 1-D CNN technique to the spectrum images using two filter windows with different size along time axis. To develop the DL model, we randomly selected 412 spectrum images (80%) for training and validation. The train history shows that both train and validation losses drop rapidly, while train and validation accuracies increased within approximately 100 epoches. For evaluation of the model's performance, we used 105 test images (20%) and employed a contingence table. It is found that false alarm ratio (FAR) and critical success index (CSI) were 0.14 and 0.83, respectively. Furthermore, we confirmed above result by adopting five-fold cross-validation method, in which we re-sampled five groups randomly. The estimated mean FAR and CSI of the five groups were 0.05 and 0.87, respectively. For experimental purposes, we applied our proposed model to 85 HiRAS type II radio bursts listed in the NGDC catalogue from 2009 to 2016 and 184 quiet (no bursts) spectrum images before and after the type II bursts. As a result, our model successfully detected 79 events (93%) of type II events. This results demonstrates, for the first time, that the 1-D CNN algorithm is useful for detecting type II bursts.

Objective: Percutaneous portal vein (PV) stent placement can be an effective treatment for symptoms associated with portal hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PV stenting on the overall survival (OS) in patients with malignant PV stenosis. Materials and Methods: Two groups of patients with malignant PV stenosis were compared in this retrospective study involving two institutions. A total of 197 patients who underwent PV stenting between November 2016 and August 2019 were established as the stent group, whereas 29 patients with PV stenosis who were treated conservatively between July 2013 and October 2016 constituted the no-stent group. OS was compared between the two groups before and after propensity score matching (PSM). Risk factors associated with OS were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards model. Procedure-associated adverse events were also evaluated. Results: The stent group finally included 100 patients (median age, 65 [interquartile range, 58-71] years; 64 male). The no-stent group included 22 patients (69 [61-75] years, 13 male). Stent placement was successful in 95% of attempted cases, and the 1- and 2-year stent occlusion-free survival rate was 56% (95% confidence interval, 45%-69%) and 44% (32%-60%), respectively. The median stent occlusion-free survival time was 176 (interquartile range, 70-440) days. OS was significantly longer in the stent group than in the no-stent group (median 294 vs. 87 days, p < 0.001 before PSM, p = 0.011 after PSM). The 1- and 3-year OS rates before PSM were 40% and 11%, respectively, in the stent group. The 1-year OS rate after PSM was 32% and 5% in the stent and no-stent groups, respectively. Anemia requiring transfusion (n = 2) and acute thrombosis necessitating re-stenting (n = 1) occurred in three patients in the stent group within 1 week. Conclusion: Percutaneous placement of a PV stent may be effective in improving OS in patients with malignant PV stenosis.

본 연구는 동결동결보호제의 종류와 배발달단계가 생쥐의 OPP vitrification 동결방법에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 동결속도, 동결보호제 및 배발달단계는 vitrification 방법에 따른 수정란의 생존성에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에 사용된 동결보존액은 40% (v/v) ethylene glycol, 18% (w/v) Ficoll, 0.3 M sucrose와 5% FCS가 첨가된 D-PBS (EFS) 및 16.5% ethylene glycol, 16.5% dimethyl sulfoxide, 0.5 M sucrose 와 5% D-PBS (EDS)을 이용하였다. 배반포기배는 hCG 처리후 90시간째에 자궁으로부터 채취하여 실험 1에 이용하였고, 실험 2와 3에서는 zygote 를 hCG 처리후 18시간에 난관에서 채취하여 mHTF 배양액에 5% $CO_2$, 37$^{\circ}C$ 조건하에 배양하면서 2-, 4-, 8-cell, compacted morula, 또는 blastocyst를 이용하였다. 실험 1에서 배반포기배의 적당한 동결보존액을 결정하기 위하여 EFS 또는 EDS로 OPP vitrification 을 실시하였다. 재확장배반포기에 의한 생존율은 대조군과 EDS 처리군 (100, 100%) 이 EFS 군 (95.0%) 보다 유의적 (P＜0.05)으로 높게 나타났으나, 부화배반포기에서는 EFS 군 (90.0%) 이 대조군 (100%) 및 EDS 군 (95.0%) 보다 유의적으로 낮은 발달율을 보였다. 실험 2에서는 zygote, 2-, 4-, 8-cell, 상실배 빛 배반포기 등의 초기배에서도 OPP vitrification 동결방법이 적당한지를 판단하기 위하여 실시하였다. Zygote (70.0%) 는 동결융해 후 배발달율이 2, 4, 8, 상실배 및 배반포기배에 비하여 유의적으로 낮은 발달율을 보였다 (89.7, 90.0, 92.8, 97.6 및 97.5%) (P＜0.05). 또한 동결융해란의 할구수에서는 대조군 및 배반포기배 (35.7$\pm$2.98 및 39.6$\pm$2.81)에서 zygote, 2-, 4- 8-cell, 상실배 (29.8$\pm$3.21, 31.3$\pm$3.83, 29.3$\pm$3.58, 28.9$\pm$3.21 및 30.8$\pm$2.93) 보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다 (P＜0.05) 실험 3에서는 zygote의 VS1 에 노출시간에 따른 생존율을 조사한 결과 융해후 2-cell (91.6, 88.5 및 88.9%) 및 배반포기 (83.3, 74.3 및 69.4%) 까지 배발달율은 1,2 및 3분간의 노출시간에 따른 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 융해후 노출시간에 따른 할구수에서도 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다 (36.4$\pm$4.76, 32.4$\pm$4.67 및 27.6$\pm$4.52). 이상의 결과에서 OPP vitrification 방법은 EFS 또는 EDS 동결보존액에 따른 유의적인 차이 없이 이용될 수 있는 것으로 판단된다. 배발달단계에 따른 생존율은 zygote 의 초기배는 2, 4, 8, 상실배 및 배반포기보다 유의적으로 저조한 생존율을 보였다. Zygote의 VS1에 노출시간에 따른 생존율도 1 분간의 노풀시간에서 높은 배발달율을 보였다. OPP vitrification 동결보존방법으로 생쥐수정란의 동결보존에 유용하게 이용가능한 것으로 판단된다.
