Resting Heart Rate and Aortic Stiffness in Normotensive Adults
Jeongok G. Logan,Suk-Sun Kim 대한심장학회 2016 Korean Circulation Journal Vol.46 No.6
Background and Objective: Large-artery stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is considered the gold standard measure of arterial stiffness. A resting heart rate is an easily measured vital sign that is also associated with CVD morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have reported the significant relationship of a resting heart rate with arterial stiffness as measured by cfPWV only in hypertensive subjects; their relationship in nonhypertensive subjects remains unknown. The present study, therefore, examined their relationship in normotensive subjects. Subjects and Methods: In 102 healthy Korean Americans between ages 20 and 60 years, their resting heart rate was measured by an automated blood pressure measuring device after a 10 minute rest in the supine position. Arterial stiffness was measured by cfPWV using the SphygmoCor device. Results: The mean resting heart rate of participants (mean age, 39.64 years; 59% women) was 61.91 bpm (standard deviation [SD], 9.62 bpm) and mean the cfPWV was 6.99 (SD, 1.14) m/s. A multiple regression analysis showed that a resting heart rate is a significant predictor of cfPWV after controlling for age, body mass index, and mean arterial pressure. For one bpm increase of resting heart rate, cfPWV increased approximately 0.02 m/s. Conclusion: Our results suggest that a higher resting heart rate is independently associated with increased arterial stiffness as measured by cfPWV in normotensive adults. Arterial stiffness may explain the prognostic role of an individual’s heart rate in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

<P><B>Purpose</B></P><P>Urinary incontinence (UI) is associated with nursing home admission, functional decline, and risk of death among community-dwelling older adults. Little information, however, is available on sex differences in lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in older Korean adults exclusively living in rural areas. This study examined sex-related differences in LUTS, factors associated with UI in older adults living in rural areas, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in incontinent older adults.</P><P><B>Methods</B></P><P>This was a cross-sectional study in which face-to-face interviews were conducted at 15 rural community-health centres. A total of 323 older adults aged ≥65 years from rural areas of Korea participated. LUTS prevalence was evaluated and HRQoL was measured using the King’s Health Questionnaire. The chi-square test and t -test were used to examine sex differences in characteristics, LUTS, and HRQoL. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify risk factors associated with UI.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>Nocturia was the most prevalent symptom, affecting 87% of men and 86% of women. Women (53%) had significantly more UI of any kind than did men (35%) (P=0.007). Urgency UI was the most frequent type of UI in men, whereas stress UI was the most frequent in women. Regarding HRQoL, men had significantly higher scores in the domains of sleep/energy disturbances (P=0.032) than did women, and women reported greater effects from the severity of incontinence (P=0.001) than did men. Arthritis was the only factor associated with UI in men (odds ratio [OR], 6.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46–32.36). However, women with diabetes mellitus were less likely to have UI than those without (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.23–0.82).</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>LUTS were found to be highly prevalent in community-dwelling older Korean adults in rural areas. Interventions to improve sleep and to reduce UI severity are needed for incontinent men and women, respectively.</P>

수증기 개질 반응로 설계를 위해 수증기 개질 반응로에 대한 열유동 해석을 수행하였다. 6개의 이중관형 개질기 튜브들과 1개의 버너로 구성된 반응로에 대해 개질반응과 열유동 해석을 연계하여 수치계산을 수행하였다. 버너 형상 변화에 따른 반응로 내에서의 유동구조를 계산하여 버너 형상을 선택하였다. 개질반응 통합해석 결과, 반응로 상하단내에서 온도구배가 크게 나타났으며 개질기 튜브 내의 조성 변화도 반응로 온도분포의 영향을 받는것으로 나타났다. 또한, 운전조건인 SCR 및 GHSV 변동에 따른 개질 반응특성이 변화함을 확인할 수 있었다. A numerical study on the heat and fluid flow has carried out for the design of the steam reforming reactor which consists of six reforming tubes and one burner. Reforming reaction calculation is coupled with the heat and fluid flow one. The burner type in the reforming reactor is chosen through the fluid flow calculation according to different type of burner structure. It is shown that the significant temperature gradient exists in the reforming reactor, affecting the component variation along the length of reforming tube. The component ratio of reforming gas is changed by the variation of SCR and GHSV.

압축천연가스 자동차는 최근 대기환경 개선을 위해 대도시 시내버스에 적용되고 있으며 대기 오염물질을 저감시키는데 효과적인 것으로 입증되고 있다. 압축천연가스의 단점인 낮은 연료저장밀도를 높이기 위해 액화천연가스를 연료로 하는 차량기술이 시도되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자동차에 액화 천연가스를 적용하기 위한 LNG 저장 용기의 단열특성을 실험적으로 측정하여 기준과의 적합성을 판단하였으며 측정방법에 대한 비교검토를 통해 측정결과의 신뢰성을 제고하였다. 시험용기의 단열성능계수는 40 J/h·<SUP>o</SUP>C·m<SUP>2</SUP>으로 기준범위 이내의 성능을 확인하였으며 두 가지 측정방법들은 상호 일치하는 결과를 보여주었다. 또한 용기의 벤트밸브 동작특성을 조사하여 증발가스의 방출량 특성을 파악하였다. Natural gas vehicles are being applied to city buses for improving air quality in metropolitan and have proved the effective way to reduce the pollutant emissions. Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) has also attempted a vehicle fuel in order to raise the fuel storage density that is a disadvantage of Compressed Natural Gas(CNG). This paper described insulation characteristic of a LNG storage tank. From the results, adiabatic coefficient of a tested tank was around 40J/h· <SUP>o</SUP>C·m<SUP>2</SUP> and it was the lower level than gas safety regulation limit. Two experimental methods were adopted to justify the evaluation results and they were revealed that the results were very similar to each other. Also, through testing relief valve operation characteristic it was investigated venting amount of boiled off gas.

LNG dual fuel vehicles have some advantages compared to CNG vehicles. Because of high density of fuel storage, it could be driven as long as 600㎞ with one filling. Dual fuel engine use natural gas as main fuel, emission level is lower than diesel one. And it has also good fuel economy due to lower fuel price. In this paper, engine performance such as power, fuel consumption rate and emission level had tested under ND-13 mode and analyzed the data for fuel economy and environmental benefit. As a result, LNG dual fuel vehicles showed favorable effect so that adequate for heavy duty trucks. And data would be used valuable for policy driving purpose.
