  • Background/Aims: Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) can heal a variety of defects within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via applying negative pressure, which reduces the defect size, aspirates the infected fluid, and promotes granulation tissue. Here we present our experience with EVT as it relates to both spontaneous and iatrogenic upper GI tract perforations, leaks, and fistulas. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at four large hospital centers. All patients who underwent EVT between June 2018 and March 2021 were included. Data on multiple variables were collected, including demographics, defect size and location, number and intervals of EVT exchanges, technical success, and hospital length of stay. Student t-test and the chi-squared test were used to analyze the data. Results: Twenty patients underwent EVT. The most common defect cause was spontaneous esophageal perforation (50%). The most common defect location was the distal esophagus (55%). The success rate was 80%. Seven patients were treated with EVT as the primary closure method. The mean number of exchanges was five with a mean interval of 4.3 days between exchanges. The mean length of hospital stay was 55.8 days. Conclusions: EVT is a safe and effective initial management option for esophageal leaks and perforations.

  • 본 연구는 스타트업의 초기 시장진출 성공을 좌우하는 변수가 어떤 것이고, 그 중에서 가장 중요한 결정요인은 무엇인지 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 실증 분석을 위해 스타트업 성공을 위한 성공요소 분석과 관련한 설문을 계층화분석(AHP기법)에 맞추어 설계하였다. 스타트업의 초기 시장진출 성공을 위한 대표적인 성공요소를 8가지로 선별하고 이들 요소 중에 우선 순위도를 결정하기 위해 한 달간 창업에 직접 혹은 간접적으로 경험이 있는 기업과 대학, 연구소, 공공기관 관계자 12명을 대상으로 집단을 모집해 조사하였다. 실증 분석 결과 계층 1에서는 51%의 선호도를 나타난 자금이 성공요인을 결정하는 가장 우선순위로 꼽혔다. 뒤를 이어 연구개발(32.5%), 경영관리(8.7%), 마케팅(7.8%)으로 조사됐다. 특히 계층 1의 결과에 따라 4개 항목의 각각을 100으로 계산하여 계층 2를 환산하였을 때, 해외투자가 43.7%로 스타트업 초기 시장진출 성패를 결정하는 가장 중요한 요인으로 분석되었다. 이어 R&D 시설 기반15.14%, 아이디어 14.07%, 경영자 능력 8.7%, 국내투자 7.29%, 구매자 피드백 5.85%, 개발전략 3.3%, 마케팅전략 1.95% 순이었다. 본 연구의 시사점은 국내 스타트업들 상당수는 해외 액셀러레이터들로부터 투자와 지원을 받길 기대한다는 것이다. 해외투자 유치는 글로벌 시장에서 통할 수 있는 서비스와 제품을 만들고 있는 스타트업으로 인정받았다는 것을 의미하기 때문이다. 해외로부터 투자유치에 대한 선호도가 높은 것은 국내보다 투자금액의 규모도 크고, 성과에 대한 압박의 측면에서도 국내의 투자자에 비하여 유연하게 대처할 수 있는 장점 덕분이다. 이번 연구에서 스타트업 전문가들의 설문을 통해 이 같은 사실을 확인할 수 있었다는데 큰 의미가 있다.

  • The regulatory periodic inspection program (PSI) conducted at every overhaul period is the most important process for confirming the safety of nuclear power plants. The PSI for operating nuclear power plants in Korea mainly consist of component level performance check that had been developed based on deterministic approach putting the same degree of importance to all the inspection items. This inspection methodology is likely to be effective for preoperational inspection. However, once the plant is put into service, the PSI must be focused on whether to minimize the risk of accident using defense-in-depth concept and risk insight. The incorporation of defense-in-depth concept and risk insight into the deterministic based safety inspection has not been well studied so far. In this study, two track approaches are proposed to make sure that core damage be avoided: one is to secure success path and the other to block the failure path in a specific event tree of PSA. The investigation shows how to select safety important components and how to set up inspection group to ensure that core damage would not occur for a given initiating event, which results in strengthening defense-in-depth level 3.

  • 화전과 화전민은 일제의 강한 규제와 정리 계획, 해방 이후 토지개혁에도 불구하고 1970년대까지 지속적으로 증가했다. 본 논문에서는 강고하게 존재했던 화전과 화전민이 1974-1979년의 화전정리사업으로 완전히 사라지게 된 필요 충분조건을 살펴보고자 했으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일제시대 이후 지속적으로 증가하던 농촌 인구와 최하층의 농가수가 1967년경을 정점으로 감소하면서 화전과 화전민 발생의 근본 원인이었던 토지에 대한 인구의 압력이 약화되었다(사회적 필요조건). 둘째, 1960년대 중반부터 본격화된 경제개발계획으로 1974년의 국민총생산과 정부예산이 1960년의 25배 수준이 되어 화전정리사업에 충분한 투자가 가능해졌다(경제적 충분조건). 셋째, 항공사진을 이용한 산림자원조사 기술의 발전과 도로 시설의 확대로 화전민의 은닉성이 제거되어 재모경(再冒耕)을 철저히 감시할 수 있게 되었다(기술적 충분조건).

  • 경막외마취는 전신마취가 불필요하므로 널리 활용되는 마취술이다. 그러나 경막외마취 시술시 천자침이 경막외강 내에 정확하게 위치하지 않으면 각종 부작용이 발생하므로 시술자의 세심한 주의뿐만 아니라 상당한 수준의 숙달이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 천자침이 연결된 도관 내의 압력 변화를 범용 압력센서로 연속 계측함으로써 침이 경막외강 내로 진입하는 순간을 자동탐지하는 자동화된 저항소실법을 개발하였다. 17G Tuohy 침을 황인대까지 전진시킨 후 침에 공기도관을 연결하고 공기도관에 연결된 압력센서로 압력신호를 추출하여 적절히 증폭ㆍ필터링한 후 역치감지회로가 경막외강의 진입순간을 감지하도록 전자회로를 설계ㆍ제작함으로써 저항소실법을 자동화할 수 있었다. 소량의 공기 주입으로 도관 내의 압력을 50∼100mmHg까지 녹인 후 짐을 천천히 전진시키며 압력변화신호를 10개의 녹색 발광다이오드로 연속 표시하였고 압력이 20mmHg 이하로 하강하는 순간을 경막외강 진입시점으로 인식하여 시술자를 위해 경보를 울리는 보조기기의 형태로 구현하였다. 자체 시뮤레이션을 거친 후, 경막 외마취 시술이 예정된 환자 ,30명을 대상으로 자동화된 보조기기를 사용하여 시술하였고 수동적인 저항소실법을 병행하는 임상실험을 통하여 경막외 마취시술의 성공여부를 판정하였다. 본 기기의 도움으로 첫 번째 시도에서의 마취성공률은 83%이었고 두 번째 시도에서는 모두(100%) 성공하였으며 시술 중 주입된 공기의 용적은 1ml이내로써 별는 부작용이나 합병증은 없었으므로 본 연구의 유용성이 입증되었다. 본 연구의 자동화된 저항소실법은 공기도관을 사용하였으므로 감염의 가능성도 최소화된다고 볼 수 있었으며, 따라서 편리하고 안전한 경막외마취 시술이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Bekesy measured the sound transformation system of the middle ear 49 years ago. According to his reports, a ratio between the size of ear drum and the size of oval window is 17 : 1, and the lever function of the ossicles is physiologically 1.3 : 1. Therefore, the hearing might be aggravated to 27.5㏈ in the case of the vanishment of 3 ossicles. In 1952, Wullstein reported 5 types of tympanop-lasty and the fourth type among them was especially named for the sound-protection. The oval window is only exposed by the sound pressure and the round window is not exposed. According to the application by this idea, the post-operative hearing might be improved until 27.5㏈. Mean while, in 1942, Onchi verified through his experiment that the results of Bekesy's measurement was not completely conformed to Onchi result. Bekesy measured the sound pressure on the stapes plate of the oval window, on the other hand, Onchi measured the sound pressure on the surface of the perilymph of the oval window after removing the stapes plate(Fig. 1).(Figure omitted) The difference of their experiment is recognized that the impedance of the stapes plate exists or not (Fig. 1). Both Audiogrums are compared as Fig. 2. The result of IV type of tympanoplasty is success ful in 54% as the Table 1. (Table Omitted) The reason of unsatisfactory is caused by the thick and unmovable window-membrane and by the closing of air passage to the round window. The closing of the air passage to the round window is occurred by the adhesion between the grafting membrane and the surface of promontorium. In order to preserve this adhesion, I produce to transplantate the mucous membrane of the lip to the bone surface of tympanic cavity after removing the granulation tissue of the tympanic cavity and to form a membranous canal for the sake of air passage (Fig. 3). (Figure Omitted) The post-operative hearing by this method is shown as Fig. 4, 5. In other words, the post-operative sound pressure entered into the cochlea directly, by way of the oval window only, not by way of the round window, as a theorie of the sound protection.

  • Background: Data on noninvasive ventilation (NIV) use in intensive care units (ICUs) are very limited in South Korea. Methods: A prospective observational study was performed in 20 ICUs of university-affiliated hospitals from June 2017 to February 2018. Adult patients (age>18 years) who were admitted to the ICU and received NIV treatment for acute respiratory failure were included. Results: A total of 156 patients treated with NIV were enrolled (mean age, $71.9{\pm}11.6years$). The most common indications for NIV were acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF, n=89) and post-extubation respiratory failure (n=44). The main device for NIV was an invasive mechanical ventilator with an NIV module (61.5%), and the majority of patients (87.2%) used an oronasal mask. After the exclusion of 32 do-not-resuscitate patients, NIV success rate was 68.5% (85/124); ICU and hospital mortality rates were 8.9% and 15.3%, respectively. However, the success rate was lower in patients with de novo respiratory failure (27.3%) compared to that of patients with AHRF (72.8%) or post-extubation respiratory failure (75.0%). In multivariate analysis, immunocompromised state, de novo respiratory failure, post-NIV (2 hours) respiratory rate, NIV mode (i.e., non-pressure support ventilation mode), and the change of NIV device were significantly associated with a lower success rate of NIV. Conclusion: AHRF and post-extubation respiratory failure were the most common indications for NIV in Korean ICUs. Overall NIV success was achieved in 68.5% of patients, with the lowest rate in patients with de novo respiratory failure.

  • The renewed global interest in nuclear power has arisen from the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to provide sufficient electricity for a growing global population before the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Japan. In spite of the safety issues of nuclear power plants raised by the ongoing Japanese nuclear crisis, many countries with nuclear power plants (NPPs) are still implementing license extensions of 10~20 years, and even consideration is being given to the concept of life-beyond-60, a further period of license extension from 60 to 80 years. To solving the materials aging problem is integral to its success. To evaluate the plant aging phenomena, a lot of background information such as materials and environment of the parts of the reactor and plant systems is needed by the experts. Information on degradation mechanisms is also used. In this paper, a materials degradation evaluation program called OnMDE-SYS (On-line Materials Degradation Evaluation System) is introduced. The developed program provides a variety of information on the materials and stressors as well as operational experience to the experts. It is also anticipated that the experts can perform materials degradation assessment on the web directly by referring to domestic and international information about the degradation of a nuclear power plants through OnMDE-SYS.
