Endolymphatic sac tumor is rare, locally aggressive hypervascular tumor of papillary structure, arising from the endolymphatic duct or sac in the posterior petrous bone. We present four cases with this tumor. Two patients were male and the other two were female. Age of each patient was 15, 52, 58, and 67 years. Three patients presented with progressive hearing loss and sustained vertigo for months to years and another one was referred for the tumor detected in routine medical check-up. Preoperative embolization was performed in 3 patients. Complete excision of the tumor was achieved in all patients using translabyrinthine or retrosigmoid approach. Herein, we describe the clinical and radiographic features, surgical treatment and pathologic findings with a review of the literature.

In this paper, we propose a fast and low-complexity Motion Estimation (ME) algorithm for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). Motion estimation occupies 77~81% of the amount of computation in HEVC. After all, the main key of codec implementation is to find a fast and low-complexity motion estimation algorithm and architecture. The proposed algorithm uses only 1% of the amount of operations compared to full search algorithm while maintaining compression performance with slight loss of 0.6% (BDBR).

To compensate density of abnormal lung field for density of normal lung field, used each cellulose paper calculated sensitometry and contrast. As apply clinic part to the result: We are able to compensate density of abnormal lung that is pleural effusion atelectasis, etc for normal lung. We believe this method is good one because the method is simple to change exposure and the material is cheap enough to be accessible to every one and easily buyable and we need not be afraid of loss of image quality.

Generally the window of the building is an objective of mining and having a distant view and also for a circulation it will can open and shut because becomes the structure insulation, the meat detailed drawing it does a very difficult portion, it is. To reduce the loss of the energy which leads, to an air conditioning energy and an expense increase problem the color which the interior furniture and the clothing due to the augmentation and the corpse ultraviolet rays of the unpleasant feeling which is caused by with the transient one solar energy influx which leads the window will burn, it joins in the window and it confronts and the novel solution is demanded.

This paper mainly focuses and describes four-armed dual-band rectangular type patch antenna using teflon of 0.54 mm thickness substrate for the application in personal wireless communications at about 2 GHz and 2.5 GHz frequency ranges. The dual-band patch antenna is obtained by embedding one centered and two pairs of rectangular patches on single body above the substrate. Details of the proposed antenna design are presented and discussed as a novel design with remarkable value of return loss (S11) of -28.68 dB and it is the most suitable for WiMAX applications as well.

It is necessary to develop a high-speed wireless transmission system, which is able to send medical informations to the emergency medical center during emergency patient transportation. In this research, a system which transmits patient’s vital signs and a real-time audio/video contents of the event has been designed, developed, and the suitability of the system has been verified. Test results indicate that the system is capable of transmitting vital signal data, including 17 numeric data, 12 waveforms and 113 events, reading the affected part by forwarding a $320{\times}240$ pixel image at 2fps. Also, the full-duplex voice transmission of the system at 8bit/64kbps is enough to make stable communication between emergency medical technicians and hospital professionals possible. After numerous hours of driving, the packet loss of patient vital signs is 0.013%.

A 45-year-old man presented with fatigue and weight loss underwent a Tc-99m MDP bone scan because of increased serum alkaline phosphatase. Delayed images at 4 hours demonstrated diffuse increased activity throughout both lobes of the thyroid in the absence of activity of the stomach and salivary glands. Thyroid laboratory indices and a Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid scan suggested Graves' hyperthyroidism.

In order to obtain thermal-stable, low birefringent, and low optical loss waveguiding materials, we synthesized several fluorinated poly (maleimide-co-glycidylmethacrylate)s using a pentafluorophenylmaleimide (PEM) and two kinds of methacrylate derivatives as comonomers and glycidylmethacrylate as a crosslinker. One comonomer is a linear fluorinated methacrylate (HFBM) and another is a bulky norbornane-derived methacrylate (NMMA). These copolymers could be self-crosslinked by heating due to epoxy groups of glycidylmethacrylates. As a maleimide contents increased to 50 mol%, these copolymers showed high decomposition temperatures of above 300$^{\circ}C$. The refractive index could be precisely controlled by the variation of PFM/HFBA or PFM/NMMA feed ratio in the range of 1.410∼1.508 at 643 nm. The copolymers had very low birefringence in the range of 1∼5${\times}$10$\^$-4/.

Cherry tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, which may protect against neurodegeneration and consequent memory loss. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of cherry tomatoes on scopolamine-induced amnesia in mice. Male ICR mice (4 weeks old) were maintained for 4 weeks on a diet containing 10 or 20% tomato powder (TP), and then administered scopolamine (1 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) 45 min before memory testing. Passive avoidance and Morris water maze testing revealed that scopolamine-induced amnesia was significantly reduced in the TP groups compared to the non TP-received (control) group. Accordingly, acetylcholinesterase activities in the serum and brain of TP groups were lower than those in the control group. These findings suggest that cherry tomatoes may be useful for the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as amnesia and Alzheimer's disease.

Mandibular arteriovenous malformations(AVM) are relatively rare and potentially life threatening lesions. Surgical treatment consists of wide resection of the mandible, which is difficult and potentially hazardous due to significant blood loss during surgery. Therefore, some authors advocate that transvenous embolization may be a safer and more effective method in the treatment of mandibular AVM. We report a treatment case of mandibular AVM in a 9-year-old-girl for episodes of spontaneous bleeding for 6 days using by selective transarterial embolization, direct puncture embolization and microcoil embolization.
