  • Purpose: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors most often arise from the anatomically discernible peripheral nerve or neurofibroma. Methods: A 55-year-old man had a rapidly growing pedunculated large mass on the sacrolumbar junction for 2 years. He has congenital neurofibromatosis type I. He had multiple caf-au-lait spots and multiple neurofibromas on the entire body. The mass developed from a subcutaneous nodule on the sacrolumbar junction and grew rapidly. The preoperative punch biopsy revealed a malignant peripheral nerve tumor. The mass was completely excised with 1 cm free margin above the deep fascial plane. Results: There was no evidence of recurrence of tumor for 19 months of follow-up examination. Conclusion: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor is very rare and has unique feature. We report a successful case of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor with the review of the literatures.

  • 신경의수를 제어하기 위해서는 사용자의 의도를 인식하는 신경신호 디코딩이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 다채널 말초 신경신호의 실시간 디코딩 방법을 제안한다. 말초 신경신호는 정중신경과 요골신경에서 측정되었으며 운동잡음은 국소 근사 다항식에 의해 제거되었다. 다음으로 활동전위는 k-평균 알고리즘으로 분류되었다. 특징벡터는 활동전위의 발화율로부터 추출되었으며 자기 조직화 특징지도를 통해 차원이 축소되었다. 마지막으로 다층 퍼셉트론으로 손동작을 분류하였다. 원숭이 실험에서 모든 신호처리가 실시간 제한조건 이내에 완료되었으며 높은 성공률로 손동작을 인식할 수 있었다.

  • This study was conducted to examine the pathological changes of rat peripheral nervous system during exposure to tellurium known to be a demyelinating agent by using teasing nerve fiber method and quantitative light microscopic analysis by image analyzer. The pellet containing 1.2% of tellurium were fed for 3, 5, 7, 9, 13 days to male wistar rats (21 days old) and then neurologic symptom and the feature of nerve fiber myelination were studied. From this study, following results were obtained. In 3 days treated group, it showed various neurologic symptom and teased nerve fiber showed slight irregularity of the myeline sheath. In 5 days and 7 days treated groups, it showed the segmental demyetination in larger size fiber and widening of nodes of ranvier. In 9 days and 13 days treated groups, the remyelinated fibers were observed and it was generally small in size. We consequently suggest that teasing nerve fiber method and quantitative analysis of nerve fiber were useful pathologic screening method of neurotoxicity of the peripheral nervous system.

  • Heating by RF wave is divided into dielectric heating and induction heating. Dielectric heating and induction heating from outside the body have the compensatory heating pattern. While surface fat layer is heated by dielectric heating, it is not heated by induction heating. While the peripheral part at the middle of the electrodes is not heated by dielectric heating, it is heated by induction heating. By the simultaneous application both modalities, heating pattern seems to be more uniform and improved. Computer simulation of Finite Element Method (FEM) using ANSYS was conducted to dielectric heating with the results of above-mentioned feature. Theoretical considerations by the uniform RF magnetic field in a cylinder and textbooks support the feature of the above-mentioned heating pattern of induction heating. Further computer simulation of FEM using ANSYS will be conducted to simultaneous application of dielectric heating and induction heating to verify and will be reported.

  • 본 연구에서는 남성과 여성에 있어서 정서적 자극에 대한 기억이 다른지를 알아보고자 하였다. 또한 제시되는 자극의 기억을 측정할 것이라는 기억지시문을 주고, 또한 자극제시 후 곧바로 자유회상의 방법으로 기억을 측정함으로써 정서적 자극으로 유발된 정서의 표현을 조절할 필요성을 가능한 최소화시켰다. 그리고 남성과 여성의 정서적 자극과 중성적 자극에 대한 기억을 측정함으로써 선행사건초점 정서조절 과정에 의해 남성들의 정서적 자극에 대한 기억이 손상됨을 밝히고자 하였다. 전체적으로 여성들이 남성들보다 제시된 자극에 대하여 더 많이 기억하고 있었으며, 특히 중성적 자극보다 정서적 자극에 대해 남성들보다 더 많은 내용을 회상하였다. 회상내용을 중심적 요소에 대한 기억과 지엽적 요소에 대한 기억으로 나누어 남녀 차이를 분석해본 결과, 여성들은 정서적 자극의 중심적 요소에 대하여 중성적 자극보다 더 많이 기억하였으나 남성들은 정서적 자극과 중성적 자극에 대한 중심적 요소에 대한 기억차이가 나타나지 않았다.

  • Schwannomas, which originate from Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, are slowg-rowing and uncommon benign tumors. Most schwannomas (90%) occur in isolation, and multiple occurrences are a characteristic feature of neurofibromas. Schwannomas of the nose and nasal tip are particularly unusual. Although a few cases of schwannomas of the sinusoidal tract and nasal septum have been reported, schwannomas arising from the nasal dorsum area and tip are extremely rare. Sensory abnormalities are also a very rare symptom. We excised a schwannoma on the nasal dorsum through direct incision and a schwannoma on the nasal tip through open rhinoplasty. No postoperative complications involving recurrence, hematoma, or infection occurred. The possibility of neurological changes should be considered in cases of an abnormality in the peripheral nervous system. Schwannoma must be kept in mind as a possible cause of neurological changes localized to a specific dermatome, and should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of a mass on the nose.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 시각체계가 색채-운동 속성의 결합에 양안시차 정보를 이용하는지를 검증하는 것이었다. Wu, Kanai와 Shimojo (2004)는 주변시야에 제시되는 색채와 운동 속성이 잘못 결합되는 색채-운동 착각 결합 현상을 보고하였는데, 본 연구는 이러한 착각 결합이 양안시차 정보가 가용하지 않은 상황에서 관찰되며 양안시차 정보가 가용한 상황에서는 색채와 운동 속성이 제대로 결합됨을 발견하였다. 이러한 실험결과는 시각체계가 속성들의 결합에 양안시차 정보를 유용하게 사용하며 속성들의 결합이 양안시차 정보가 처리되는 이후의 단계에서 발생함을 시사한다.

  • This article aims to analyze the diplomatic challenges currently facing China as well as the foreign policy the Xi Jinping administration is adopting to address them. With these purposes in mind, it will look into three areas: first, diplomatic tasks confronting the Xi leadership; second, foreign policy that the Xi administration has implemented since the 18th Party Congress in 2012; and third, the prospects for China's foreign policy under the Xi leadership. As the Xi Jinping administration entered into office, it has encountered two major diplomatic challenges. One is the searching for a new foreign policy, and the other the restructuring of the existing foreign affairs and national security systems. The Xi administration, during its first year in office, has responded actively to tackle these issues. To begin with, it has attempted to make some adjustments on foreign policy while maintaining the Deng Xiaoping line of foreign policy. One of these modifications is placing emphasis on national "core interest," as illustrated by changes in guideline for maritime conflicts, pushing for building maritime power, and proclamation of Air Defense Identification Zone in the East China Sea. Second is the decision on the new guideline for peripheral diplomacy. That is, the administration regarded creating peaceful and stable environments to realize "Chinese Dream" as an important goal of foreign policy, and proposed such new guiding ideology as "familiarity, integrity, benefit, and accommodation." In additoin, the Xi administration restructured the existing foreign affairs and national security systems. Establishing the Central State Security Committee and the Internet Leading Small Group (LSG) are cases in point. As comprehensive organizations for policy coordination that encompass party, government, and military, the two LSGs are in charge of enacting related policies and fine-tuning policy implementation, based upon leadership consisting of chiefs of each relevant organs. Moreover, since Xi himself became the chief of these two newly-found organs, the conditions under which these LSGs could demonstrate unified leadership and adjusting role in its implementation of military, diplomatic, and security policies were developed. The future Chinese diplomacy will be characterized with three main trends. First, peripheral diplomacy will be reinforced. The peripheral diplomacy has become far more important since the Work Conference on Peripheral Diplomacy in October 2013. Second, economic diplomacy will be strengthened with an eye on reducing the "China Threat Theory," which still exists in Asia. Third, the policies to isolate the Philippines and Japan will continue in regard to maritime disputes. All in all, Chinese diplomacy in the Xi Jinping era is likely to feature practical diplomacy which combines both hard and soft approaches to best realize Chinese national interest.

  • The feature of neuropathic pain may occur in the absence of any apparent stimulus and be exaggerated in either amplitude or duration. Peripheral nerve injury may produce neuropathic pain and opioids have been shown to be relatively unsatisfactory for the treatment of most cases of neuropathic pain. The NMDA receptor system is involved in transmission and modulation of nociceptive information. We treated patients with severe pain, hyperaesthesia and allodynia with epidural injection of NMDA receptor antagonist, ketamine (10 mg) and morphine (0.5 mg) or other opioid. The combinations provided effective pain management in 23 patients with neuropathic pain.
