목 적 : 불임의 증가와 함께 체외수정시술에 의한 신생아의 출생이 점차 증가하고 있으나, 이들에 대한 임상적 예후와 경과에 대한 연구가 미비한 실정으로 본원에서 출생한 체외수정 쌍생아의 임상적 경과 및 예후를 알고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1995년 1월부터 2000년 6월까지 6년간 서울아산병원에서 분만된 신생아 460쌍 중 250쌍의 자연 수정에 의한 쌍생아(대조군)와 체외 수정 시술에 의해 출생한 156쌍의 쌍생아를 대상으로 재태연령, 출생체중, 성비, 입원률, 1분/5분 Apgar 점수, 동맥관개존증의 발생 및 인도신 치료 여부, 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군, 일과성 빈호흡, 황달, 미숙아망막증, 뇌출혈, 괴사성 장염, 패혈증, 전해질 이상, 선천적 기형의 발생 유무를 비교하였으며, 입원기간과 사망률을 알아보고 비교 분석하였다. 또한 산모의 나이와 출산력 및 조기양막파열, 임신성 고혈압, 조기진통의 발생 여부와 임신 중의 입원횟수와 입원기간을 비교하였다. 결 과 : 6년간 본원에서 출생한 쌍생아는 총 460쌍이었으며 이중 체외수정시술에 의해 출생한 쌍생아는 156쌍(34.1%)이었다. 산모의 과거력과 임신성 합병증, 임신기간, 출산 형태에 대한 비교에서 산모의 나이, 출산력, 입원기간 등은 두 군 사이에 차이가 없었으나, 체외수정시술을 받은 산모에서 조기진통의 횟수가 많았고, 입원 횟수가 의미있게 많았다. 분만 형태의 비교에서 체외수정시술을 받았던 군이 자연수정군에 비해 수술로 분만한 경우가 의미있게 많았으며(93% vs 82%) 응급 수술보다 정규 수술이 의미있게 많았다. 신생아의 비교에 있어서 몸무게, 성비, 동맥관개존증의 발생 및 인도신 치료 여부, 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군, 일과성 빈호흡, 황달, 미숙아망막증, 뇌출혈, 괴사성 장염, 패혈증, 선천적 기형의 발생 유무, 생존율, 입원기간 등은 두 군간에 의미 있는 차이가 없었고, 1분, 5분 Apgar 점수가 자연수정군에서 높았으며, 전해질의 이상소견이 체외수정시술군에서 의미있게 많았다. 체외수정시술에 의한 쌍생아군에서 첫 번째 아가와 두번째 아가를 비교하였을 때 출생체중, 신생아 집중치료실 입원율, 입원기간 등은 차이는 없었으나, 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군, 동맥간개존증, 패혈증, 괴사성장염 등은 두번째 아가에서 유의하게 많았다. 결 론 : 체외수정시술에 의한 쌍생아의 출생은 전체 쌍생아 출생아의 34.1%로 많은 부분을 차지하였고, 산과적 합병증 및 주산기 예후를 비교하였을 때 체외수정군과 자연수정군이 유의한 차이가 없었다. Purpose : To examine various neonatal outcomes and perinatal factors resulting from assisted reproduction compared to that of spontaneous conception. Methods : This is a retrospective study. The control cases were all twins of spontaneous conception born between periods from January 1995 to June 2000. The study cases were identified from twins conceived by assisted reproduction in the same time peried. A total of 460 sets of twins consisted of 250 twins of spontaneous conception and 156 twins of assisted reproduction were studied. The primary outcomes were neonatal morbidity and mortality and the secondary outcomes were perinatal factors including number, length and cost of hospitalization for the delivery. Results : No differences were seen in various neonatal factors including gestational age, birth weight and incidences of respiratory distress syndrome, patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, hyperbilirubinemia, sepsis, intraventricular hemorrhage and the length of hospitalizations. Lower one minute and five minute Apgar scores and frequently encountered electrolyte abnormalities were observed in neonates of assisted reproduction. In general, the second twin of assisted reproduction had increased incidences of respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis than the first twin. Increased frequencies of preterm labor, hospitalization and elective cesarean section were seen among mothers who underwent artifical conception. However, overall hospital costs in terms of mothers hospitalization for the delivery and neonates hospitalization did not show differences. Conclusion : Assisted reproduction twins had similar neonatal morbidities, mortalities and perinatal morbidities compared to those born by spontaneous conception.

The present study developed a new technique with no physical object on the flow stream but enabling the air flow measurement and easily incorporated with the devices for cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) procedure. A turbulence chamber was formed in the middle of the respiratory tube by locally enlarging the cross-sectional area where the flow related turbulence was generated inducing energy loss which was in turn converted into pressure difference. The turbulence chamber was simply an empty enlarged air space, thus no physical object existed on the flow stream, but still the flow rate could be evaluated. Computer simulation demonstrated stable turbulence formation big enough to measure. Experiment was followed on the proto-type transducer, the results of which were within ${\pm}5%$ error compared to the simulation data. Both inspiratory and expiratory flows were obtained with symmetric measurement characteristics. Quadratic curve fitting provided excellent calibration formula with a correlation coefficient>0.999(P<0.0001) and the mean relative error<1%. The present results can be usefully applied to accurately monitor the air flow rate during CPR.

Uroflowmetry is non-invasive and easily performed to diagnose benign prostatic hypertrophy(BPH) frequent in aged men. Weight change during urination is usually measured to estimate the urinary flow rate by a load cell, but sensitive to any impacts against the bottom of the container, leading to unnecessary noise generation. Moreover, load cells are relatively expensive raising the production cost. The present study proposed a new technique, measuring hydraulic pressure on the bottom of the urine container to evaluate the urinary volume. Low cost pressure transducer enabled almost perfectly linear relationship between the urine volume and the hydraulic pressure. During both the simulated and human urination experiments, variance of the pressure signal was more than 50% smaller than the weight signal acquired by a load cell, which demonstrated that the impact noise was decreased to a great degree by pressure compared to weight measurement.

The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of eating a raw egg by professional or nonprofessional voice users on their voice quality and the duration of the effect. 20 professional voice users and 20 nonprofessional voice users participated in the experiment and they had gone through stroboscopy to have no vocal or laryngeal diseases. The voice exam was performed three times: before eating a raw egg (1st period), right after eating it (2nd period), and 10 minutes later (3rd period). By using Multi-dimensional Voice Program which is a software of Computerized Speech Lab 4500 as a voice analysis instrument, the authors checked the F0, Jitter, Shimmer, Noise to harmonic ratio (NHR), and Voice Range Profile (VRP). Results showed as follows: Firstly, vocal hygiene was good in 57.5% of the total subjects and was poor in 42.5%. 40% of professional voice users and 75% of nonprofessional voice users hand good quality. 77.5% of the total subjects had the vocal fatigue while 22.5% of the subjects did not. 95% of the professional voice users and 60% of nonprofessional voice users complained the vocal fatigue. 60% of the total subjects reported a subjective vocal symptom. 65.0% professional voice users and 70.0% of nonprofessional voice users reported a voice symptom. From the results above, we suggest that eating a raw egg may lead to imporve voice quality of the professional voice users.

손상위험장기에 인접한 불규칙한 모양의 타겟 치료 시, 용적변조회전 방사선치료와 비동일평면상의 빔을 이용한 세기변조 방사선치료의 유용성 평가 및 비교

김경아,나경수,서석진,이제희,Kim, Kyung Ah,Na, Kyung Soo,Seo, Seok Jin,Lee, Je Hee 대한방사선치료학회 2017 대한방사선치료학회지 Vol.29 No.1

목 적: 본 연구는 모양이 불규칙하고 손상위험장기(Organ At Risk, OAR)에 매우 인접한 타겟(Target)의 방사선 치료 시, 비동일평면상(Non-coplanar)의 빔(Beam)을 이용한 Fixed-field 세기변조 방사선치료(Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, IMRT)와 용적변조회전 방사선치료(Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, VMAT) 치료계획의 유용성을 평가 및 비교해 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본원에서 True Beam STX(Varian Medical Systems, USA)를 이용하여 전체 두피(Whole Scalp), 부분적 두피(Partial Scalp), 그리고 전체 뇌실(Whole Ventricle)에 방사선 치료를 받은 환자 중 각 부위별로 2명 씩, 총 6명을 대상으로 하였다. VMAT 치료계획 시, Beamlet에 포함되는 OAR의 용적을 최소화하기 위해 Coplanar 또는 Non-coplanar 빔을 이용하였고, Fixed-field IMRT는 6명 모두 2개 이상의 카우치(Couch) 각도를 이용한 Non-coplanar IMRT(이하 ncIMRT)로 치료계획 하였다. 결 과: 양측 수정체, 양측 시신경, 시신경 교차, 그리고 뇌 줄기의 최대선량과 양측 안구와 해마의 평균선량을 측정하였고, 6명 모두 9개의 OAR 중 6개 이상에서 VMAT 치료계획이 ncIMRT보다 1.1배에서 8.2배가량 높은 선량 값을 나타내었다. 전체 두피와 부분적 두피의 치료 시, 20 Gy가 조사되는 뇌의 용적은 VMAT이 ncIMRT의 2배 이상이었고, 전체 뇌실의 치료 시에는 두 치료계획이 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 타겟 Coverage는 두 치료계획 모두 $PTV_{100%}=95%$를 만족시켰고, 타겟 내 최대선량과 치료 시 필요한 총 Monitor Unit(MU)은 ncIMRT가 VMAT보다 높았으며 두 치료계획 모두 임상적용을 위한 Gamma test 시행 결과, 2 mm/2 % 조건을 통과하였다. 결 론: 본 연구 결과, ncIMRT는 VMAT에 비해 치료 시 필요한 MU가 높아 치료시간과 장비의 로딩(Loading)을 증가시키므로 치료의 효율성은 다소 떨어지지만, VMAT과 비슷한 타겟 Coverage를 유지하면서, OAR의 선량은 훨씬 감소시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 모양이 불규칙하고 OAR에 매우 인접해 있는 타겟의 방사선 치료 시에는 ncIMRT 치료계획을 고려해 볼 필요가 있다고 사료된다. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare volumetric modulated arc therapy(VMAT) with fixed-field intensity modulated radiation therapy(IMRT) using non-coplanar beam when the shape of target is irregular and the location is adjacent to organ at risk(OAR). Materials and Methods: The subjects of this study were a total of 6 patients who had radiation therapy for whole scalp(2 patients), partial scalp(2 patients), and whole ventricle(2 patients) by True Beam STX(Varian Medical Systems, USA). VMAT plans consisted of coplanar or non-coplanar arcs which can minimize the volume of OAR included in beamlets. All fixed-field IMRT plans consisted of non-coplanar beams using more than 2 angles of Couch. Results: The VMAT and IMRT plans were compared with regard to the maximum dose of both lens, both optic nerves, optic chiasm, and brain stem and the mean dose of both eyeballs and hippocampus. VMAT plans showed higher dose than ncIMRT plans at more than 6 of all OARs in every patient, and the ratio was from 1.1 times to 8.2 times. In case of total scalp and partial scalp, the volume of brain which received more than 20 Gy in the VMAT plans was 2 times larger than the volume in the ncIMRT plans. In case of whole ventricle, there was no significant difference. Target coverage was satisfied in both plans($PTV_{100%}=95%$). The maximum dose in target volume and required monitor unit(MU) of ncIMRT were higher than them of VMAT plans. Conclusion: Even though ncIMRT is less efficient than VMAT with regard to required MU and treatment time, the dose to OARs is much lower than VMAT and PTV Coverage is similar with VMAT. If the shape of target is irregular and location is adjacent to OAR, comparison VMAT plan with ncIMRT plan deserves to be considered.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of anterior segmental osteotomy (ASO) in bimaxillary protrusion (BP) patients by comparison between the mandibular soft and hard tissue changes from orthodontic treatment and ASO. Methods: All 44 patients were diagnosed with BP in Kyung-Hee Medical Center. Orthodontic treatment with teeth extractions were underwent by 23 patients (Group A) and 21 patients underwent ASO (Group B). Mandibular soft and hard tissue changes were measured and evaluated, which were based on the vertical and horizontal reference line in lateral cephalometric radiographs. Statistical significance between the changes and correlation between each measurement were analyzed. Results: The amount of B point movement was lesser than that of the lower incisal tip (LIT) retraction, and LIT was tilted lingually in group A. The posterior movement discrepancy between LIT and B point was insignificant, and the inclination of lower incisor was not changed in group B. The soft tissues, including the lower lip, showed a posterior movement and reduction in the depth of mento-labial groove. According to the correlation analysis, the movement of the lower incisor was significantly related to the movement of the lower lip in group A, and the movement of the lower incisor was significantly related to that of the movement of lower lip, B point and Pog in group B. Conclusion: The orthodontic treatment in BP patients results in posterior tilting movement of the lower incisor, but ASO results in the bodily movement of the lower incisor. Consequently, ASO is more effective in BP cases because it ensures the controlled movement of the lower incisors.

웹기반교육에서의 자동 문제 출제 시스템

인터넷이 교육분야에도 활발히 사용되면서 자료검색부터 동영상 강의 나아가 인터넷을 통해 실시간으로 시험을 치르고 있다. 웹을 이용한 원격시험에 출제되는 문제들은 대부분 고정출제나 문제은행방식을 이용한 무작위 출제방식을 사용하고 있다. 본 논문의 문제은행시스템은 마크업 언어를 모르더라도 문제를 제작할 수 있으며, 웹 상에서 시험을 치르고난 후 정답률에 기초하여 난이도를 자동으로 재조정할 수 있다. 또한 학습자는 시험이 끝난뒤 피드백 학습을 할 수 있으며, 학습 후에는 학습자가 스스로 난이도를 조정하여 재시험을 치를 수 있게 하였다. 자동난이도 출제 방식은 출제가 간편해지며 평가의 예상평균점수를 미리 예측하고 시험결과가 계속 문항마다 누적되어 이를 바탕으로 출제되는 문제가 너무 쉽게 또는 너무 어렵게 출제되는 것을 막을 수 있다. 또한 원격시험은 대리시험 등 부정의 소지가 많아 유형이 다른 문제를 출제하게 되는데 여기서 오는 형평성 문제를 극복할 수 있게 된다. Internet has been applied to the educational field such as data search, lecture by motion picture, realtime examination. Most questions made for these remote examinations use methods of making questions randomly using fixed questions or item pools. The designed system in this paper makes questions without knowing MARK-UP language and after undergoing examinations on Web. Also it readjusts degree of difficulty automatically on the basis of the rate of correct answers. In addition, this enables learners to perform feedback learning after examinations and subsequently learners themselves to adjust their degree of difficulty and undergo reexaminations. The automatic selection system makes it easy to select questions, possible to expect average marks and number of questions made, and to prevent that questions may be made too easy or too hard. For a remote examination, as there are much possibilities of dishonesty such as examination by proxy so different types of problems are made, and problems of the rationality caused from that can be avoided.

This thesis aims at understanding Le Corbusier's architecture through study of proportion. Based on the analysis of these texts, four elements - geometry in the outline, diagonal regulation lines in the facade, arithmetic rhythm in the structure, composition in the inner space - were listed. Through these four proportional systems. ten houses of 1920's, designed by Le Corbusier were analysed. The Le Corbusier's proportional system can be classified by two different purposes ; aesthetics and utility standardization for the mass production was reflected. In the later period, the proportion system of 1920's has changed through the process of self-contradiction. But the concept of the golden section and the human scale was reflected on Modulor, which Le Corbusier created in 1940's. Therefore, Le Corbuiser's notion of proportion for harmony of architecture has consistent meaning throughout all of his works from the 1920's.
