Background: We examined perioperative predictors of sustained sinus rhythm (SR) in patients undergoing the Cox maze operation and concomitant cardiac surgery for structural heart disease. Materials and Methods: From October 1999 to December 2008, 90 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent the Cox maze operation and other concomitant cardiac surgery. Eighty-nine patients, all except for one postoperative death, were followed-up with serial electrocardiographic studies, 24-hour Holter monitoring tests, and regular echocardiographic studies. Results: Eighty-nine patients undergoing the maze operation were divided into two groups according to the presence of SR. At the time of last follow-up (mean follow-up period, $51.0{\pm}30.8$ months), 79 patients (88.8%) showed SR (SR group) and 10 patients (11.2%) had recurrent AF (AF group). Factors predictive of sustained SR were the immediate postoperative conversion to SR (odds ratio, 97.2; p=0.001) and the presence of SR at the 6th month postoperatively (odds ratio, 155.7; p=0.002). Duration of AF, mitral valve surgery, number of valves undergoing surgery, left atrial dimension, and perioperative left ventricular dimensions and ejection fractions were not predictors of postoperative maintenance of SR. Conclusion: Immediate postoperative SR conversion and the presence of SR at the 6th postoperative month were independent predictors of sustained SR after the maze operation.

높은 산소 분리 특성과 $CO_2$에 대한 안정성을 보인 $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Ti_{0.3}Fe_{0.7}O_{3-{\delta}}$(LSTF)가 코팅된 $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}}$(BSCF) 분리막을 bench 규모의 장치에 적용하여 산소 투과 실험을 수행 하였다. 또한 실험실 규모 장치와 bench 규모장치의 분리막 반응기 내 온도 구배에 따라서 분리막을 3영역으로 나누어 각각 비교 분석하였다. $900^{\circ}C$까지 온도 범위에서 산소 투과 실험을 진행하면서 Cr 침적의 온도 의존성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 실험실 장치에서 측정한 산소 투과율인 $3.79ml/min{\cdot}cm^2$에 비해 현저히 낮은 $2.37ml/min{\cdot}cm^2$를 확인했다. 이와 같은 산소 투과율의 감소는 XRD와 SEM/EDS 분석을 통하여 분리막 반응기의 합금 재질에서 방출되어 나온 기상 Cr의 분리막 표면 침적에 의한 것임을 밝혀냈다. 특히 중온 영역에서 많은 양의 Cr이 발견되었다.

Metallic biomaterials have been mainly used for the fabrication of medical devices for the replacement of hard tissue such as artificial hip joints, bone plates, and dental implants. Because they are very reliable on the viewpoint of mechanical performance. This trend is expected to continue. Especially, Ti and Ti alloys are bioinert. So, they do not chemically bond to the bone, whereas they physically bond with bone tissue. For their poor surface biocompatibility, the surface of Ti alloys has to be modified to improve the surface osteoinductivity. Recently, ceramic-like coatings on titanium, produced by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO), have been developed with calciumand phosphorus-enriched surfaces. A lso included the influences of coatings, which can accelerate healing and cell integration, as well as improve tribological properties. However, the adhesions of these coatings to the Ti surface need to be improved for clinical use. Particularly Silicon (Si) has been found to be essential for normal bone, cartilage growth and development. This hydroxyapatite, modified with the inclusion of small concentrations of silicon has been demonstrating to improve the osteoblast proliferation and the bone extracellular matrix production. Strontium-containing hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) was designed as a filling material to improve the biocompatibility of bone cement. In vitro, the presence of strontium in the coating enhances osteoblast activity and differentiation, whereas it inhibits osteoclast production and proliferation. The objective of this work was to study Morphology of bone-like apatite formation on Sr and Si-doped hydroxyapatite surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloy after plasma electrolytic oxidation. Anodized alloys was prepared at 270V~300V voltages with various concentrations of Si and Sr ions. Bone-like apatite formation was carried out in SBF solution. The morphology of PEO, phase and composition of oxide surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloys were examined by FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD.

The effect of Ba substitution for Sr on the lattice parameters and the temperature dependence of the thermoelectric power and electrical resistivity has been investigated for Y(Sr$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$)Cu$_{2.7}$Mo$_{0.3}$O$_z$ (x=0${\sim}$2.0). Both a and c lattice parameters increase as the Ba content, x increases. The correlation between Tc and the carrier concentration estimated from the thermoelectric power data indicates that the change of hole concentration is negligible for x ${\le}$ 1.0 in contrast to the large change for x > 1.

We fabricated SrTiO$_3$thin film capacitor on the Ag/Si-wafer by RF sputtering deposition. And I-V characteristics and structual analysis of the thin film capacitor are investigated. We found that the leakage current of the films during deposition is strongly denpent on the ambient gas and substrate temperature. Because of increase of activation energy, leakage current increased at high temperature and resistivity of the films was decreased. According to the increase of oxygen gas flow rate, the conductivity of thin film capacitor was increased and leakage current was decreased.

Background: This work was to get information about $^{90}Sr$ contamination of the environment by using soil and moss from selected areas in Jeju Island, Korea. Materials and Methods: The activities of $^{90}Sr$ in soil and moss samples were investigated at nine locations of Jeju island, Korea. The soil samples have been collected at 4 sites of Jeju island during June to August of 2013, analyzed for vertical distribution of $^{90}Sr$ activities. The moss samples have been collected at 5 sites of Jeju island during November of 2011 to June of 2012, and analyzed for radioactive $^{90}Sr$. Results and Discussion: The $^{90}Sr$ vertical concentrations in the investigated soil samples were 2.77 to $18.24Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in eastern part, 1.69 to $18.27Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in northern part, 3.76 to $13.46Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in the western part and 1.09 to $8.70Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ in the southern part of the Mt. Halla in Jeju island, respectively. Activities of $^{90}Sr$ show the highest value at the surface soil and decrease with depth. The activity concentration measured was in the range of 79.6 to $363Bq{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ -dry moss. Conclusion: This material is expected to be basis reference for survey of environmental radioactivity in Jeju Island.

The physical and electrical properties of $\textrm{Ba}_1$ $_{x}\textrm{Sr}_{x}$($\textrm{Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}}$)$\textrm{O}_3$ (x =0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0) ceramics were investigated. The Bal $_{x}\textrm{Sr}_{x}$($\textrm{Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3}}$)$\textrm{O}_3$ systems were shown that the hexagonally ordered superlattices were increased with increasing x values. The relative densities of all samples were over 97% theoretical densities. The dc resistivities of samples were $10^{13}$ - $10^{14}$$\Omega\textrm{cm}$at room temperature, these values were nearly constant at 130(x=0)-$230^{\circ}C$ (x=l). However, the resistivities of samples decreased rapidly above those temperature and their activation energies were from 1.0 to 1.52 eV. The relative dielectric constant was 33(BMN) and 30.6(SMN) respectively. And the highest value was shown at x=0.4 and the value was 34.3. The temperature coefficient of dielectric constant was -61 ppm/$^{\circ}C$(BMN) and 79 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ (SMN) respectively.
