Background: To compare the anesthetic efficacy of supplemental buccal infiltration (BI) (1.7 ml) versus intraligamentary (IL) injection containing 0.4 ml of 4% articaine with 1:100.000 epinephrine after an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) with 1.7 ml 2% lidocaine in the first and second mandibular molars diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis (IP). Methods: One hundred subjects diagnosed with IP of either the mandibular first (n = 50) or second molars (n = 50) and failed profound anesthesia following an IANB were selected. They randomly received either the IL or BI techniques of anesthesia. Pain scores on a 170 mm Heft-Parker visual analog scale were recorded initially, before, and during supplemental injections. Furthermore, pulse rate was measured before and after each supplemental injection. During the access cavity preparation and initial filing, no or mild pain was assumed to indicate anesthetic success. The chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and independent samples t-test were used for the analyses. Results: The overall success rates were 80% in the IL group and 74% in the BI group, with no significant difference (P = 0.63). In the first molars, there was no significant difference between the two techniques (P = 0.088). In the second molars, IL injection resulted in a significantly higher success rate (P = 0.017) than BI. IL injection was statistically more successful (P = 0.034) in the second molars (92%) than in the first molars (68%). However, BI was significantly more successful (P = 0.047) in the first molars (88%) than in the second molars (64%). The mean pulse rate increase was significantly higher in the IL group than in the BI group (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Both the IL and BI techniques were advantageous when used as supplemental injections. However, more favorable outcomes were observed when the second molars received IL injection and the first molars received BI.

$3'{\times}3'$ 원통형 NaI(T1) 검출기와 다중파고분석기(多重波高分析器)를 사용하여 측정한 $0.05{\sim}2.0MeV$ 구간의 ${\gamma}$선 spectrum에서 실(實)spctrum을 구하기 위하여 조사선량율(照射線量率)산출에 편리한 response matrix 방법을 사용하였다. Response mateix 구성에는, 위의 에네지 구간을 0.1 MeV의 등간격으로 나눈 $20{\times}20$ matrix로 한것과 검출기의 분해능이 입사 ${\gamma}$선 에너지의 평방근(平方根)에 의존한다는 가정하에 $0.1(MeV)^{1/2}$구간으로 나누어 $14{\times}14$ matrix로 구성한, 두가지 방법을 사용하였으며 그 역(逆)matrix들은 P-E 82/32 콤퓨터로 계산하였다. 이 방법으로 얻은 조사선량율은 에너지와 flux가 알려진 ${\gamma}$선량(陽)에 대하여 흔히 사용되는 계산방법으로 구한값과 10% 이내에서 일치하고 있으며, 선량측정학적(線量測定學的) 견지에서는 $E^{1/2}$ 구간으로 형성된 matrix가 등에너지간격으로 구성된 것보다 현실적인 것으로 판단되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of leg raising and peripheral excercise on recovery of the patients who were applied with dexmedetomidine for their dental surgery. Methods: There were two groups, the experimental group (n=35) and control group (n=35), in this study. We checked blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, sedation level and symptoms such as dizziness and somnolence every 30 minutes. These parameters were assessed throughout the participants' recovery room stay. Leg raising and peripheral excercise were conducted in the experimental group in the recovery room. We have conducted chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, t-test, ANOVA, and ANCOVA to compare the measured parameters in both groups. Results: The experimental group showed a significant elevation of mean arterial blood pressure, and mitigation of somnolence, sedation and dizziness compared to the control group. Conclusion: Leg raising and peripheral exercise is effective to expedite recovery in the patients who were applied with dexmedetomidine for their dental surgery.

Purphose. This present study examines the effect of brief, intense transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(BTENS) on sensory nerve conduction, electrical pain threshold, and two-point discrimination measured at the superficial radial nevre distribution in 20 healthy subjects. Subjects. Twenty volunteercs, (10 females and 10 males(age range : 20-38 years : $mean{\pm}SD\;:\;27.00{\pm}5.12$), only subjects without prior traumatological and pathological were eligible to participated in this study. Methods. Nerve conduction were determined for the right superficial radial nerve. Electrical pain threshold were determined for the right wrist ipsilateral to the site of BTENS. Small disc electrodes were attached to the surface of the skin stradding the end of the radius. Square wave electrical pulses were delivered from an isolated stimulator through a constant current device at a frequency of 2 Hz(5 ms pulse width). Two-point discrimination, measured on the sensory distribution of superficial radial nerve. BTENS was delivered using a Max-SD( Medical design co.) portable battery powered stimulator. A cicular Ag/AgCl electrode in contact with hypertonic saline gel was attached to the lateral(radial side) surface of the forearm. Results. No significant effects were observed between stimulation methods in the prestimulation cycle(multi-way ANOVA repeated measures : distal latency ; F1.14=0.332. amplitude ; F 0.80=0.445, pain threshold ; F0.06=0.940.2 point discrimination ; F1.50=0.236). Highly significant effects were observed time with the pretreatment and 6 posttreatment cycles(p<0.01). Mighty significants differences in nerve conduction and pain threshold were found using un multi-way ANOVA repeated measures among stimulation methods for each cycles(p<0.01). Conclusion and Discussion The authors concludes that both nerve conduction and pain threshold changes are associated with therapy (stimulation) level of BTENS.

The detection of position and speed in BLDC motors without using position sensors has meant many efforts for the last decades. The aim of this paper is to develop a sensorless technique for detecting the position and speed of BLDC motors, and to overcome the drawbacks of position sensor-based methods by improving the performance of traditional approaches oriented to motor phase voltage sensing. The position and speed information is obtained by computing the derivative of the terminal phase voltages regarding to a virtual neutral point. For starting-up the motor and implementing the algorithms of the detection technique, a FPGA board with a real-time processor is used. Also, a versatile hardware has been developed for driving BLDC motors through pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. Delta and wye winding motors have been considered for evaluating the performance of the designed hardware and software, and tests with and without load are performed. Experimental results for validating the detection technique were attained in the range 5-1500 rpm and 5-150 rpm under no-load and full-load conditions, respectively. Specifically, speed and position square errors lower than 3 rpm and between 10º-30º were obtained without load. In addition, the speed and position errors after full-load tests were around 1 rpm and between 10º-15º, respectively. These results provide the evidence that the developed technique allows to detect the position and speed of BLDC motors with low accuracy errors at starting-up and over a wide speed range, and reduce the influence of noise in position sensing, which suggest that it can be satisfactorily used as a reliable alternative to position sensors in precision applications.

본 논문에서는 몸체진동에 의하여 Lock-in을 보상해주는 링레이저 자이로의 환산계수 오차와 불규칙잡음 특성을 시뮬레이션에 의해서 예측하였다. 그리고 그 결과를 약 0.5deg/sec의 static Lock-in을 갖는 28cm인 4각형 링레이저 자이로에 대한 정적시험 결과와 비교하였다. 진폭이 일정한 정현파 몸체진동을 인가하는 경우에 자이로의 출력 펄스가 몸체진동 진동수의 정수배가 되는 지점에서 주기적으로 dynamic Lock-in이 발생한다. Dynamic Lock-in의 폭은 몸체진동의 진폭에 따라서 변화하는데, 입력가속도가 몸체진동 진동수의 짝수배 지점과 홀수배 지점에서 나타나는 dynamic Lock-in의 폭은 180도 위상차이를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 dynamic Lock-in을 보상해주기 위하여 불규칙진동을 추가로 인가하는데 이 불규칙성이 작으면 dynamic Lock-in에 의한 환산계수 오차가 제거되지 않으며, 불규칙성이 커지면 환산계수 오차는 줄어들지만 불규칙 잡음이 상대적으로 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 불규칙 잡음은 몸체진동의 진폭이 클수록 작아짐을 확인하였다.
