  • Since the fibro-osseous lesion is not a specific diagnostic term, the author studied clinically and radiologically 44 cases which had been diagnosed as fibro-osseous lesion in SNUDH (1972- 1981. 12).The obtained results were as follows. 1. Clinico-radiologically, the cases of fibro-osseous lesions were divided into two groups. 2. The first group was fibrous dysplasia (21 cases). 3. The second group was tumors of periodontal ligament origin, including ossifying fibroma, cementifying fibroma and cemento-ossifying fibroma (23 cases). 4. In most cases the chief complaint was painless swelling of the jaw and the mean age of the fibrous dysplasia (24.6 yrs) was a little younger than that of the periodontal ligament origin lesions (29.2 yrs). 5. In fibrous dysplasia, maxilla was more often involved and showed ground-glass or smoke pattern radiologically. 6. The tumors of periodontal ligament origin occurred more in female, mandible and radiologically showed varying amounts of radiopaque foci in well-circumscribed osteolytic lesion.

  • Feasibility of the self-TMR mixing/feeding system for dairy farm in Korea was analyzed by comparing with a traditional feeding system. The total operating cost of self-TMR feeding system decreased with an increase of farm size. However, the cost was higher than that of traditional feeding system because of its high purchasing cost of TMR mixer as an initial investment. Profit per unit input of the TMR feeding system became greater over the traditional system when the farm size is larger than 17 heads due to more and better milk production. The profitable discrepancy became bigger as dairy farm size increases.

  • The self-assembly of polymers can lead to supramolecular systems and is related to the their functions of material and life sciences. In this article, self-assembly of Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films, polymer micelles, and polymeric nanoparticles, and their biomedical applications are described. LB surfaces with a well-ordered and layered structure adhered more cells including platelet, hepatocyte, and fibroblast than the cast surfaces with microphase-separated domains. Extensive morphologic changes were observed in LB surface-adhered cells compared to the cast films. Amphiphilic block copolymers, consisting of poly(${\gamma}$-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG) as the hydrophobic part and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) [or poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)] as the hydrophilic one, can self-assemble in water to form nanoparticles presumed to be composed of the hydrophilic shell and hydrophobic core. The release characteristics of hydrophobic drugs from these polymeric nanoparticles were dependent on the drug loading contents and chain length of the hydrophobic part of the copolymers. Achiral hydrophobic merocyanine dyes (MDs) were self-assembled in copolymeric nanoparticles, which provided a chiral microenvironment as red-shifted aggregates, and the circular dichroism (CD) of MD was induced in the self-assembled copolymeric nanoparticles.

  • The last two decades have shown a marked expansion in publications of diverse effects of Panax ginseng. Ginsenosides, as active ingredients of Panax ginseng, are saponins found in only ginseng. Recently, a line of evidences shows that ginsenosides regulate various types of ion channel activity such as $Ca^{2+},\;K^+,\;Na^+,\;Cl^-$, or ligand gated ion channels (i.e. $5-HT_3$, nicotinic acetylcholine, or NMDA receptor) in neuronal, non-neuronal cells, and heterologously expressed cells. Ginsenosides inhibit voltage-dependent $Ca^{2+},\;K^+,\;and\;Na^+$ channels, whereas ginsenosides activate $Ca^{2+}-activated\;Cl^-\;and\;Ca^{2+}-activated\;K^+$ channels. Ginsenosides also inhibit excitatory ligand-gated ion channels such as $5-HT_3$, nicotinic acetylcholine, and NMDA receptors. This review will introduce recent findings on the ginsenoside-induced differential regulations of ion channel activities and will further expand the possibilities how these ginsenoside-induced ion channel regulations are coupled to biological effects of Panax ginseng.

  • Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the trajectory of change of diverse attention and working memory in Koreans from 4 to 40 years of age. Methods: The data of 912 subjects from 4 to 15 years of age obtained from a previous standardization study of the computerized comprehensive attention test were merged with the newly obtained data of 150 subjects aged 16 to 40 years from this study. We evaluated the various kinds of attention, in which each subtest had five indicators. Working memory, with parameters such as number of correct responses and span, was also measured. Results: Our findings indicated that attention developed as age increased, and it decreased or was maintained after a certain age. Selective and sustained attention developed rapidly in children and adolescents, until mid-teens or 20 s when it ceased development. Divided attention, however, developed up to approximately age 20. In addition, working memory developed until mid-teens or 20 s. Conclusion: We presented the standardized data on diverse kinds of attention and working memory in children, adolescents, and adults in Korea. We could recognize any patterns of change in attention and working memory with increasing age.

  • 정보화의 발전은 모든 산업의 시스템화 및 자동화를 이끌어가는 원동력으로 국가 산업에 융복합되어 시너지효과를 발현하고 있다. 이러한 정보화의 일환으로 건축공사의 50~60%차지하는 건설자재의 정보화는 필수불가결한 요소이다. 특히 건설자재의 가격정보는 자재선정을 위한 결정적인 요소임에도 불구하고 현장여건에 맞는 정확한 가격정보를 제공하기에 어려움이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 자재선정 의사결정자가 건설자재의 다양한 정보항목을 검색하고, 활용할 수 있는 건설자재에 대한 정보제공 시스템의 필요성과 온라인을 통해 현장여건에 맞는 가격정보 제공의 필요성이 대두 되었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 자재선정 의사결정자들이 온라인 자재정보시스템을 통해 검색한 자재의 현장여건에 맞는 가격정보를 빠르게 획득할 수 있도록 지원하는 견적지원 기능을 제시한다. 이 시스템은 관계데이터베이스를 통해 정보를 저장하고 활용한다. 본 연구는 건설분야 종사자들에게 건설자재선정을 위한 지원 도구로써 활용될 것이며, 이는 최적자재선정을 통한 건축물의 품질을 개선하는데 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 최근 '코로나 19 (COVID-19)'와 '최저임금 이슈' 등 다양한 외적 요인들이 아르바이트를 포함한 고용시장을 변화시키고 있다. 생계와 학자금을 위해 아르바이트에 뛰어드는 청년들에게는 악재의 연속이다. 이처럼 외부 환경은 점점 구직자에게 불리하게 작용하는데 반해, 이들을 사용자로 둔 구인구직 플랫폼은 수년 째 변화의 모습을 보이지 않는다. 기존 플랫폼은 구인자에게 지나치게 유리한 소통구조를 지니고 있으며, 최근 고용시장의 변화에 따른 단기 및 대타 고용의 수요를 충족시키지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 구인구직 플랫폼의 문제점을 지적함과 동시에 플랫폼이 사용자의 편의를 충족시키기 위해 지녀야 할 고용의 역방향성과 데이터베이스 기반 필터링 및 추천과 같은 핵심 기능들에 대해 자세히 밝히고자 한다. 이를 통해, 사회적 트렌드인 긱 경제를 활성화시킬 뿐만 아니라 구직자 다수를 차지하는 청년들의 구직부담을 완화시킬 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

  • Objectives: This study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect and improvement of dyslipidemia on Hyangsapyeongwi-san. Methods: In this study, HUVEC cells were cultured and treated with Hyangsapyeongwi-san to measure intracellular KLF2, eNOS, MCP-1, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1 gene expression levels related to anti-inflammation. The weight of experimental animals administered with Hyangsapyeongwi-san was measured, blood samples were biochemically analyzed, and liver tissues were reviewed to research histological changes. Results: Gene expression levels in the cells treated with Hyangsapyeongwi-san generally showed a meaningful anti-inflammatory effect. The body weight of the experimental animals decreased, and total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL-cholesterol in the blood generally declined while HDL-cholesterol tended to increase. Fat accumulation between hepatocytes was also reduced after the administration of Hyangsapyeongwi-san. Conclusions: This study confirmed that Hyangsapyeongwi-san has the effect of suppressing vascular inflammatory responses through the regulation of genes involved in the vascular inflammatory process and improving dyslipidemia through the reduction of blood lipids and weight loss.

  • 본 연구에서는 영역 분할 알고리즘과 3차 스플라인 보간법을 이용하여 스테인드 글라스 렌더링을 위한 개선된 유리 타일 생성 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 유리 타일의 초기 형태를 추출하기 위하여 입력 영상에 Mean shift 분할 알고리즘을 적용하였다. Mean shift 분할 알고리즘은 영상의 각 픽셀(pixel)에서의 지역 밀도 최대 점(local density maximum)을 찾아 클러스터링(clustering)하는 알고리즘으로 영상을 효과적으로 분할할 수 있다. 그리고 분할된 영역에서 영역을 사용자 입력으로 병합하고, 영역에서 부적절한 형태를 없애기 위해 본 연구에서는 형태론적 연산(morphological operation)을 이용하였다. 추출된 영역으로부터 유리 타일의 형태로 만들기 위하여 추출된 각각의 영역에 3차 스플라인 보간법(cubic spline interpolation)을 적용하여 경계가 완화된 영역과 납틀(leading)의 형태를 얻는다. 그 다음 영역을 스플라인 곡선(spline curve)을 이용하여 재분할하고, 각 영역에 변환(transformation)된 색상을 적용하여 최종적인 유리 타일을 만들어낸다. 본 연구에서는 3차 스플라인 보간법을 이용하여 실제 스테인드 글라스에서 생길 수 있는 부드러운 경계를 갖는 유리 타일의 형태를 만들어 이를 스테인드 글라스 렌더링에 이용하였다. 이 방법은 기존의 영역 분할 알고리즘에 형태론적 연산만을 적용하여 유리 타일의 형태를 생성하는 것보다 효과적으로 유리 타일의 형태를 생성할 수 있다. 또한, 생성된 영역에 재분할 과정을 거쳐서 작은 유리 타일이 모여서 이루는 조형적인 형태를 이룰 수 있도록 하였다.
