Wegener's granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis of the medium and small arteries, as well as of the venules, arterioles, and occasionally large arteries, and primarily involves the upper and lower respiratory tracts and the kidneys. Renal symptoms of Wegener's granulomatosis are indistinguishable from those of vasculitis such as Henoch-$Sch\ddot{o}nlein$ purpura and microscopic polyangiitis. This case, though initially diagnosed as Henoch-$Sch\ddot{o}nlein$ purpura, was confirmed as Wegener's granulomatosis from a lung biopsy fifteen years after the initial diagnosis. We report this case with a review of the literature.

In addition to the well-known 'Frankfurt Kitchen', Austrian female architect Margarette $Sch{\ddot{u}}tte-Lihotzky^{\prime}s$ architectural achievements include a study on the housing for working class, contribution to the resident participation movement, the planning of multi-family housing complexes, rational floor plan design, and the design and study of interior spaces. The purpose of this study is to investigate how she, who played intermediate roles between an architect and a social reformer, reflected social issues and the demands of living on the housing plans in the Red Wien era and to discuss diverse issues of modern residential planning furthermore. In this study, first, the housing situation in Vienna immediately after World War I was grasped and the architectural and housing discourses at that time were examined. Thereafter, cases of $Sch{\ddot{u}}tte-Lihotzky^{\prime}s$ works were investigated and analyzed. In the period of transition to modern times, the concepts of residential planning of $Sch{\ddot{u}}tte-Lihotzky$, who began as a social democratic architect, often showed transitional tendencies in private and public functions of housing, spatial distribution for the daily life, and functions of modern family and home. However, thereafter, the paradigm of the rationalism-functionalism was already sprouting from her architectural and residential plans. In conclusion, it can be said that the works of $Sch{\ddot{u}}tte-Lihotzky$ has realized the social responsibility of residential planning and become a cornerstone of the later modern housing.

[ $Henoch-Sch{\"{o}}nlein$ ] purpura(HSP) is a systemic small vessel vasculitis characterized by cutaneous purpura, arthritis, abdominal pain and nephritis. The characteristic rash of HSP consists of palpable purpura on the buttocks and lower extremities. Bullous lesions often appear in adults with HSP, whereas they are very rare in children with HSP. In this case report, the patient presented with arthralgia and abdominal pain and had hemorrhagic bullae as a prominent manifestation of the disease. The skin biopsy of the patient revealed typical leukocytoclastic vasculitis of dermal vessels and prominent IgA and fibrinogen deposits on capillary walls by direct immunofluorescence. We confirmed the diagnosis of HSP and observed improvement of clinical symptoms and signs within a few days after corticosteroid treatment. We therefore report a case with a review of the literature.

Purpose : There have been some reports on the prevalence of positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA) in Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ purpura(HSP), but the results were conflicting. We performed this study to evaluate the clinical significance of ANCA(c-ANCA and p-ANCA) in Korean children with HSP. Methods : The medical records of 30 patients(13 boys and 17 girls) aged 6.0$\pm$1.9(5-12) years with a clinical diagnosis of HSP based on the EULAR/PReS criteria were reviewed retrospectively. From the years 2007 to 2008, the sera from children with acute HSP were tested for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies(ANCA). The target antigens of these autoantibodies are proteinase 3(c-ANCA) or myeloperoxidase(p-ANCA). Results : Palpable purpura was seen in all 30 patients(100%), abdominal pain in 20(67%), arthralgia in 17(57%), and renal involvement in 11(37%). Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis in 4 patients(13%), thrombocytosis 18 in(60%), and elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate in 18(60%). Anti-streptolysin O titers were elevated in 7% of the patients and no patient showed elevation of serum IgA level. The sera from 29 patients were negative for c-ANCA and p-ANCA by indirect immunofluorescence, but only one patient had weakly positive results, which became negative at follow-up. Conclusions : We conclude that c-ANCA or p-ANCA is not an important serologic marker in children with HSP, because it was neither diagnostically nor immunologically specific in children with HSP. These results suggest that ANCA are not involved in the pathogenesis of HSP in children.

There are a considerable number of reports suggesting a common pathogenesis of IgA nephritis(IgANn) Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ Purpura(HSP). In previous reports, a patient develops IgAN after kidney transplantation for HSP nephritis, one of Identical twin boys, developed IgAN and the other HSP, and a boy with IgAN later developed HSP. We report two cases, one with IgAN who later developed HSP and the other with HSP who later developed IgAN, suggesting that IgAN and HSP have a common pathogenesis. (J.

심혈관계 질환의 발병 위험요인 분석이 가능한 맥진기는 한방 의료기기에서 대표적인 연구 분야 가운데 하나이다. 그러나 기존의 대부분의 센서 기반의 맥진기는 측정시의 맥박 박동처와 센서부의 접촉상태에 따른 편위, 검출된 파형의 부정확성 및 파형분석의 어려움 등에 있어서 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 맥동에 의해서 유발되는 모세관 시험액의 상태 변화를 촬영한 맥동 영상을 분석하여 환자의 맥파의 측정이 가능한 맥진기를 제안한다. 제안한 맥진기의 성능 평가를 위해서는 추출된 맥파로부터 맥파 분석에 필수적인 5가지 특징점에 대한 추출률을 측정한 결과 성공적인 결과를 보였다.

본 논문에서 적외선(IR; Infrared), 자외선(UV; Ultraviolet), 가시광선(VR; Visible ray)의 영역에서 촬영한 설진 영상으로부터 가장 효과적인 설태 인식을 위한 최적 혀 영상 분석 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 설진에서 혀 영상 촬영을 위한 최적 파장 범위와 해당 파장에서 설태 분석에 최적의 컬러 영상을 선정한다. 최적 영상 선정을 위해서는 각 파장별로 촬영한 혀 영상을 LAB, HSV, YcBcR, RGB 컬러모델로 변환하고, 변환된 영상들로부터 설태와 비설태 영역의 히스토그램(Histogram)을 분석에 의해서 영역-분별력을 측정한다. 실험 결과 설진에서 설태 인식을 위한 최적 혀 영상은 자외선 영역에서의 RGB 컬러모델로 나타났다.

A capacitance-type humidity sensor using porous silicon layer is developed. The unique property of this sensor is a structure which has electrodes on the surface of the wafer like a general IC device. To do this. the sensor was fabricated using process such as localized formation of porous silicon, oxidation of porous silicon layer, and etching of oxidized porous silicon layer. The measurement of humidity-sensing ability was done for two type of sensors using porous silicon layer formed in 25 and 35% HF solutions, respectively. As the result, the former sensors showed larger value and variation of capacitance for the relative humidity.

GRIN-SCH quantum well structured Laser Diode were fabricated using MOCVD and operated as CW at room temperature. The threshold current density of the LD with 670${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ cavity length was 530 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. For the ridge waveguide type index guiding structured LD with 6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ stripe width and 240${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ cavity length, the threshold current was 50㎃. The maximum differential quantum efficiency was 0.95W/A when the optical output was 60mW. The lasing wavelength of QW LD was 865nm. In the L-I measurement. TE mode was superior to TM mode. From the near field pattern, single lateral mode operation was observed.

[ $\beta$ ]-streptococci have been reported as an etiology of Henoch-$Sch{\ddot{o}}nlein$ purpura(HSP), but the role of $\beta$-streptococci in HSP is not yet confirmed. Our report of two HSP patients is as follows : Although the two patients' clinical symptoms resembled those symptoms of HSP, whereas serum $C_3$ decreased in one case, ASO titer increased in both cases and a histological examination of renal biopsy specimens revealed the fetures commonly described in poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.
