  • Background Pediatric hand burns are a difficult problem because they lead to serious hand deformities with functional impairment due to rapid growth during childhood. Therefore, adequate management is required beginning in the acute stage. Our study aims to establish surgical guidelines for a primary full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) in pediatric hand burns, based on long-term observation periods and existing studies. Methods From January 2000 to May 2011, 210 patients underwent primary FTSG. We retrospectively studied the clinical course and treatment outcomes based on the patients' medical records. The patients' demographics, age, sex, injury site of the fingers, presence of web space involvement, the incidence of postoperative late deformities, and the duration of revision were critically analyzed. Results The mean age of the patients was 24.4 months (range, 8 to 94 months), consisting of 141 males and 69 females. The overall observation period was 6.9 years (range, 1 to 11 years) on average. At the time of the burn, 56 cases were to a single finger, 73 to two fingers, 45 to three fingers, and 22 to more than three. Among these cases, 70 were burns that included a web space (33.3%). During the observation, 25 cases underwent corrective operations with an average period of 40.6 months. Conclusions In the volar area, primary full-thickness skin grafting can be a good indication for an isolated injured finger, excluding the web spaces, and injuries of less than three fingers including the web spaces. Also, in the dorsal area, full-thickness skin grafting can be a good indication. However, if the donor site is insufficient and the wound is large, split-thickness skin grafting can be considered.

  • 본 논문에서는 새로운 16비트 저전력 ALU(Arithmetic Logic Unit) 구조 및 회로를 제안하여 트랜지스터 레벨로 설계, 제작 및 테스트하였다. 설계한 ALU는 16개의 명령어를 수행하며 2단계 파이프라인 구조를 가진다. 제안한 ALU는 switched capacitance를 줄이기 위해 논리연산시에는 덧셈기가 스위칭하지 않도록 하였으며, P(propagation)블록의 출력을 듀얼버스(dual bus)구조로 하였다. 또한 이와 같은 ALU구조를 위한 새로운 효율적인 P 및 G(generation)블록을 제안하였다. 그 외에 저전력 실현을 위하여 ELM덧셈기, 이중모서리 천이 플립플롭double-edge triggered flip-flop) 및 조합형 논리형태(combination of logic style)을 사용하여 ALU를 구현하였다. 모의실험결과, 제안한 구조는 기존의 구조$^{[1.2]}$에 비교하여 수행되는 산술연산의 사용횟수에 대하여 논리연산의 사용횟수가 증가할수록 전력감축의 효과가 증가하였다. 수행되는 산술연산 대 논리연산의 전형적인 비율을 7:3이라고 가정할 때, 제안한 구조는 기존 구조에 비해서 12.7%의 전력감축을 보였다. 설계한 ALU는 0.6${\mu}m$ 단일폴리, 삼중금속 CMOS 공정으로 제작하였다. 칩 테스트 결과 최대동작 주파수는 53MHz로 동작하였고 전력소모는 전원전압 3.3 V, 동작 주파수 50MHz에서 33mW를 소모하였다.

  • 본 논문은 송전선로 갤러핑 현상 분석을 위해 요구되는 비대칭 송전선의 공기력 계수 측정에 관한 것으로, 세 종류의 비대칭 단면으로 구성된 단도체, 2도체 및 4도체 모형에 대해서 난류 조건에서의 풍동실험을 수행하였다. 송전선로 갤러핑은 비대칭의 착빙된 송전선에 안정된 바람이 작용하는 경우 발생하는 유체유발진동의 한 종류로, 상간 이격거리와 송전탑 하중의 계산 등 송전선의 설계시 고려해야하는 주요 인자 중 하나이다. 갤러핑에 의해 발생하는 반복적인 변동 하중은 송전선을 포함한 체결 부품 등에 큰 동응력을 발생시키는 것을 고려하여, 송전선을 비롯한 각종 부품은 마모와 피로손상에 견딜 수 있는 충분한 내구성을 가져야 한다. 국내에서도 빙설해에 의한 송전선로의 고장은 급격한 전압 강하로 인한 전기 품질에 큰 영향을 끼치는 주요 원인이 되고 있으며, 매년 약 20건 이상씩 발생하고 있는 점을 고려해, 안정적인 전력 공급과 유지, 보수 비용을 절감하기 위해서 갤러핑 현상에 대해서 기초부터 체계적인 접근이 요구되고 있다.

  • The enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) methyl transferase and histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) protein can repress gene transcription, and their aberrant expression has been observed in various human cancers. This study determined their expression levels in gastric cancer tissues with reference to clinicopathological features and patient survival. We collected 117 gastric cancer and corresponding normal tissues for immunohistochemistry analysis. In gastric cancers, 82/117 (70.1%) were positive for EZH2 and 66/117 (56.4%) for H3K27me3 proteins in contrast to only 5.41% and 7.25% of normal gastric mucosa specimens, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival data showed the average overall and disease-free survival of EZH2 high expression patients was 25.2 and 20.2 months, respectively, shorter than that with EZH2 low expression (40.5 and 35.9 months). The average overall survival and disease-free survival of high H3K27me3 expression patients was 23.4 and 17.4 months, shorter than without H3K27me3 expression (37.6 and 34.5 months). The average overall survival and disease-free survival of patients with both EZH2 and H3K27me3 expression was 18.8 and 12.9 months, respectively, shorter than that with either alone (34.7 and 31.2 months) or with low levels of both (43.9 and 39.9 months). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that H3K27me3 and EZH2 expression, tumor size differentiation and clinical stage were all independent prognostic factors for predicting patient survival. This study demonstrated that detection of both EZH2 and H3K27me3 proteins can predict poor survival of gastric cancer patients, superior to single protein detection. In addition, H3K27me3 and EZH2 protein expression could predict lymph node metastasis.

  • Background: The study was aimed to evaluate the prevalence and genotype distribution of HPV infection in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in northern Thailand and the clinicopathological difference with regard to HPV infection status. Materials and Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples of vulvar SCC diagnosed between January 2006 and December 2012 were collected. HPV infection was detected by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers MY09/11 and GP5+/6+. HPV genotyping was performed using the Linear Array Genotyping Test, followed by type-specific PCR targeting the E6/E7 region of HPV16/18/52 if the Linear Array test was negative. The histologic slides of vulvar lesions and the medical records were reviewed. Results: There were 47 cases of vulvar SCC included in the study (mean patient age $57.9{\pm}13.2$ years). HPV infection was detected in 29 cases (62%), all of which had single HPV infections. HPV16 accounted for 23 (49%). The patients with HPV-positive SCC had a significantly younger mean age than those with HPV-negative tumors (52.7 years vs 66.2 years, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in tumor stage distribution with regard to the status of HPV infection. The presence of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) of usual type (basaloid or warty) was significantly more frequent in HPV-positive cases compared with HPV-negative cases (62% vs 6%, p<0.001), whereas differentiated-type VIN was more common in HPV-negative cases (24% vs 0%, p=0.019). Conclusions: HPV infection was detected in 62% of vulvar SCC in northern Thailand. HPV16 was the predominant genotype similar to the data reported from other regions. HPV-positive SCC occurred in younger patients compared with HPV-negative SCC, and was associated with usual-type VIN. Vaccination against HPV16/18 may potentially prevent almost one half of vulvar SCC in northern Thailand.

  • 본 연구는 하수관거정비 임대형민자사업에 있어 사업효과 분석지표의 개선에 대한 연구이다. 하수관거정비 임대형민자사업의 평가지표 중 침입수에 대한 평가지표는 단일평가항목으로 17.5점의 높은 점수가 부여되고 있다. 침입수에 대한 평가지표는 침입수의 발생량에 초점을 맞추어 평가되고 있으며, 현재 '야간 생활하수 평가법'에 따라 계산되고 있다. 그러나, 본 평가지표가 제주지역의 지질적 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있다는 것이 운영단계에서 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 제주지역을 중심으로 평가지표에 따른 계산 결과와 실제 침입수의 발생량을 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 제주도내 5개 지역에 대하여 '야간 생활하수 평가법'에 따른 침입수 발생량을 분석하였다. 또한 실제적으로 침입수가 발생하는 조건에 대하여 전수조사를 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 지하수위가 하수관거보다 밑에 분포되고 있으며, 하수관거의 기능에 대한 검증 결과 하수관거의 결함 등에 의한 침입수 발생은 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 현재 평가지표로 활용되고 있는 '야간 생활하수 평가법'은 제주지역에 적용하기에 적합하지 않다는 결론에 도달하게 되었으며, 제주지역만의 침입수 관련 기준 마련이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Objectives: To investigate the prognosis significance of preoperative serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and the correlation with clinicopathological factors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent hepatectomy. Materials and Methods: Clinicopathological data of retrospective analysis were collected for 251 HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy in this study. According to preoperative AFP level, patients were categorized into AFP-negative (0-20ng/mL) and AFP-positive (>20 ng/mL) groups for Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression modeling. Results: The results demonstrated that increased AFP was associated with longer prothrombin time (PTs), liver capsule invasion, low grade differentiation, and late Barcelona Clinic Liver Center (BCLC) stage. Moreover, the female patients had a greater prevalence of increased preoperative AFP than male patients [284.8 (3.975-3167.5) vs (3.653-140.65); Z-2.895, p=0.004]. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 78.1, 57.5, and 40.6 % in the AFP-negative group and 61.8, 37.7, and 31.4 %, respectively, in the AFP-positive group (log-rank test 8.312, p=0.004). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 94.4, 83.8, and 62.3% in the AFP-negative group and 87.2, 60.0, and 36.7%, respectively, in the AFP-positive group. The difference was statistically significant (log-rank test, 16.884, p=0.000). Cox proportional-hazards model identified preoperative AFP to be an independent prognostic predictor of overall survival. Conclusions: Preoperative serum AFP is an independent predictor of prognosis among HCC patients following surgical resection. Female patients have a higher preoperative AFP than their male counterparts.

  • The study assessed the effect of dietary supplementation of leaf meal mixture (LMM) containing condensed tannins (CT) on feed intake, nutrient utilization and performance of sheep infected with Haemonchus contortus. Eighteen adult sheep of similar age and body weight ($25.03{\pm}1.52$) were included in this study and out of these, 12 sheep were infected with single dose of infective third stage larvae of H. contortus at 2,000 larvae per sheep. The experimental sheep were allocated in three different groups' i.e. negative control (NC; no infection), control (C; H. contortus infected) and treatment (T; H. contortus infected+CT at 1.5% of the DM through LMM) and the experiment was conducted for a period of 90 d. The intake of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM) and digestibility of DM, OM, neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF) were comparable among three animal groups. However, digestibility of crude protein (CP) and ether extract (EE) were significantly (p<0.05) higher in NC group as compared to both C and T groups. Nitrogen (N) retention (g/d or % of N intake) was significantly (p = 0.038) lower in C group as compared to T and NC groups. Daily intake (g/kg $W^{0.75}$) of digestible crude protein (DCP), digestible organic matter (DOM) and total digestible nutrient (TDN) did not differ significantly (p<0.05) in the three groups. Haemoglobin (Hb) and packed cell volume (PCV) were significantly (p<0.001) higher in treatment group as compared to control. The level of Hb and PCV reduced (p<0.001) after 30 days of experimental feeding. CT significantly (p<0.001) reduced serum urea in T group as compared to NC and C groups. Serum proteins differed significantly (p<0.01) among the three groups. The activity of serum enzymes AST, ALT, ALP and LDH were also statistically non significant (p<0.05) among treatments. The weight of abomasal lymph nodes (ALN) in T group was higher (p<0.05) than in C group. Treatment group had lower (p<0.05) total worms and fecal egg count compared to control group. It may be concluded that dietary supplementation of CT through LMM significantly improved the N retention, and inhibited the different developmental stages of Haemonchus contortus in experimental sheep.
