Pulmonary Sequestration [2례 보고]

남충희 대한흉부심장혈관외과학회 1981 Journal of Chest Surgery (J Chest Surg) Vol.14 No.4

The pulmonary sequestration is an uncommon congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of a part of lung tissue which is supplied by an aberrant artery from the aorta or its branch and usually has no communication with the normal bronchial tree. It was first presented by Hubber in 1777 and presented in details by Pryce in 1946. We present a case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration experienced recently with a case of intralobar type experienced in 1962. The patient was 11 year old male with the complaint of chronic productive cough. Serial chest films showed a large cyst with or without the air-fluid level on the posterobasal segment area of the left lower lobe. Bronchography showed no definite communication between the cyst and bronchial tree. On operation, the cystic lesion was supplied by an aberrant artery from the descending thoracic aorta 5 cm above the aortic hiatus and was sited at the posterobasal segment area of the left lower lobe. We performed the sequestrectomy and the sequestration was surrounded by its own pleura, 6.8x3.9x3.2 cm in size, contained the pale brown mucoid secretion in a large cyst and showed the primitive alveolar structure of the wall. The aberrant artery was 1 -5 cm long, 0.3 mm in internal diameter and arterio-sclerotic. We also compared 6 cases of collection, 5 intralobar and 1 extralobar type, presented in Korea.

The extracorporeal circulation has been much improved recently, but has yet much complex problems such as the protein denaturation and the activation of the complement system by the exposure of the blood to the foreign surface, which may result in such as the postperfusion syndrome. We studied the changes of the plasma protein fractions by the electrophoresis and the complement consumption [C3, C4] by the immunodiffusion method in the patients undergoing cardiac operation from Mar. 1, 1986 to Aug. 31, 1986. The results were summarized as follows: 1. y-globulin fraction was decreased [p<0.02 by paired t-test, N=25], but a,-globulin was increased [p<0.001 by paired t test, N=25] after operation. 2. C3,C4 were significantly reduced [p<0.001 by paired t-test, N=14] postoperatively and normalized from 24 hours after operation. 3. The consumption of C3,C4 had significant linear correlation [correlation coefficient r=0.97] and C, was more markedly reduced comparing with C3, which probably means the complement activation by classical pathway in our bubble oxygenator group.

In this study, the mechanical properties of materials were predicted using machine learning to search for superhard materials. Based on an AFOW database consisting of DFT quantum calculation values, the mechanical properties of materials were predicted using various machine learning models. For supervised learning, the entire data was divided into training data and test data at a ratio of 8:2. Since the discovery of superhard materials can be predicted based on the bulk modulus and shear modulus, the bulk modulus was primarily predicted using only the chemical compositional ratio (chemical formula), and then the shear modulus was obtained using the predicted bulk moduli. To obtain good prediction performance, crossvalidation and hyper-parameter tuning were carried out. Each characteristic was predicted using XGBoost, one of the ensemble algorithms, and its performance was compared to the tree-based machine learning of RandomForest and Support Vector Machine regression using the coefficient of determination (R2) and rootmean- square-error (RMSE) as metrics. For the recently introduced four superhard materials (Mo0.9W1.1BC, ReWC0.8, MoWC2, and ReWB), the results of this study were similar to those of previous studies including the experimental values o r the DFT quantum calculations. The shear modulus was underpredicted, which can be understood since structural properties were not considering as a feature in our machine learning models.

The microwave tissue coagulator was originally used for hemostasis in the hepatic surgery, which is effectively applied in the endoscopic surgery such as the hemostasis of gastric ulcer or tumor bleeding, stenosis relieving of esophageal or rectal stenosis and tumor reduction in inoperable early cancer cases. We experienced the good result of the microwave tissue coagulation therapy in the patient with the restenosis of esophagogastrostomy. The patient was 67 year-old female, who was admitted due to the lye stricture of esophagus for 40 years. We made the lower esophagectomy and the esophagogastrostomy with the upper intact esophagus in the right thorax. But the restenosis occurred at the esophagogastrostomy site because of the polypoid mucosal protrusion at one month after operation. We applied the microwave tissue coagulator 3 times with 6 day interval under esophagoscopy and the good symptomatic and endoscopic relief was alleviated. We think that the microwave tissue coagulation is a very convenient and advisable method in the case of restenosis after esophageal surgery.

In this study, based on the saturation magnetic flux density experimental values (Bs) of 622 Fe-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), regression models were applied to predict Bs using artificial neural networks (ANN), and prediction performance was evaluated. Model performance evaluation was investigated by using the F1 score together with the coefficient of determination (R2 score), which is mainly used in regression models. The coefficient of determination can be used as a performance indicator, since it shows the predicted results of the saturation magnetic flux density of full material datasets in a balanced way. However, the BMG alloy contains iron and requires a high saturation magnetic flux density to have excellent applicability as a soft magnetic material, and in this study F1 score was used as a performance indicator to better predict Bs above the threshold value of Bs (1.4 T). After obtaining two ANN models optimized for the R2 and F1 score conditions, respectively, their prediction performance was compared for the test data. As a case study to evaluate the prediction performance, new Fe-based BMG datasets that were not included in the training and test datasets were predicted using the two ANN models. The results showed that the model with an excellent F1 score achieved a more accurate prediction for a material with a high saturation magnetic flux density.

The bandgap characteristics of semiconductor materials are an important factor when utilizing semiconductor materials for various applications. In this study, based on data provided by AFLOW (Automatic-FLOW for Materials Discovery), the bandgap of a semiconductor material was predicted using only the material’s compositional features. The compositional features were generated using the python module of ‘Pymatgen’ and ‘Matminer’. Pearson’s correlation coefficients (PCC) between the compositional features were calculated and those with a correlation coefficient value larger than 0.95 were removed in order to avoid overfitting. The bandgap prediction performance was compared using the metrics of R2 score and root-mean-squared error. By predicting the bandgap with randomforest and xgboost as representatives of the ensemble algorithm, it was found that xgboost gave better results after cross-validation and hyper-parameter tuning. To investigate the effect of compositional feature selection on the bandgap prediction of the machine learning model, the prediction performance was studied according to the number of features based on feature importance methods. It was found that there were no significant changes in prediction performance beyond the appropriate feature. Furthermore, artificial neural networks were employed to compare the prediction performance by adjusting the number of features guided by the PCC values, resulting in the best R2 score of 0.811. By comparing and analyzing the bandgap distribution and prediction performance according to the material group containing specific elements (F, N, Yb, Eu, Zn, B, Si, Ge, Fe Al), various information for material design was obtained.

딥러닝을 이용한 나노소재 투과전자 현미경의 초해상 이미지 획득

남충희 한국재료학회 2022 한국재료학회지 Vol.32 No.8

In this study, using deep learning, super-resolution images of transmission electron microscope (TEM) images were generated for nanomaterial analysis. 1169 paired images with 256  256 pixels (high resolution: HR) from TEM measurements and 32  32 pixels (low resolution: LR) produced using the python module openCV were trained with deep learning models. The TEM images were related to DyVO4 nanomaterials synthesized by hydrothermal methods. Mean-absolute-error (MAE), peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR), and structural similarity (SSIM) were used as metrics to evaluate the performance of the models. First, a super-resolution image (SR) was obtained using the traditional interpolation method used in computer vision. In the SR image at low magnification, the shape of the nanomaterial improved. However, the SR images at medium and high magnification failed to show the characteristics of the lattice of the nanomaterials. Second, to obtain a SR image, the deep learning model includes a residual network which reduces the loss of spatial information in the convolutional process of obtaining a feature map. In the process of optimizing the deep learning model, it was confirmed that the performance of the model improved as the number of data increased. In addition, by optimizing the deep learning model using the loss function, including MAE and SSIM at the same time, improved results of the nanomaterial lattice in SR images were achieved at medium and high magnifications. The final proposed deep learning model used four residual blocks to obtain the characteristic map of the low-resolution image, and the super-resolution image was completed using Upsampling2D and the residual block three times.

Characterization of the Magnetic Tunnel Junction with an AlOx Barrier Fabricated by Using Tilted Plasma Oxidation

남충희,조병기,심정진,이기수,장영만 한국물리학회 2006 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.48 No.6

Tilted plasma oxidation was found to induce a gradual change in the extent of oxidation of an insulating layer, which consequently led to a gradual change in the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) and the specific junction resistance (RA) of the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). At a high annealing temperature of 280 C, TMR ratio was observed to decrease due to a degradation of the interface between the barrier and the ferromagnetic layer when the tilted plasma oxidation was carried out, easily resulting in a micro-structural fluctuation at the interface. In order to modify the interface, we synthesized MTJs that contained a nano-oxide layer (NOL) on the top surface of the bottom pinned CoFe and a gradually over-oxidized AlOx layer. The properties of the TMR and the RA values were investigated after thermal annealing at T = 280 C and were compared with those of normal MTJs without an NOL, showing different tendencies for the behavior of the TMR and the RA values. The oxygen molecules at the NOL layer are thought to be redistributed after thermal annealing, inducing a well-formed interface.

Material design using machine learning is being used in various fields. In this study, along with the material properties calculated through the density functional theory (DFT), material’s features were obtained using only the chemical composition ratio using the python module of ‘Matminer’ and applied to machine learning. Based on the data of 164 magnetic materials from the Citrine database, the saturation magnetization value was predicted through three regression models of support-vector-machine, RandomForest, and XGBoost. Model optimization was performed through cross-validation and hyper-parameter tuning, and among the three models, XGBoost showed the best prediction performance. As for performance indicators, the R2 score and root-mean-square-error, which are mainly used in regression analysis, were used to compare and analyze the performance of the model. Finally, predictions were made for Fe (iron) that was not in the database, and it was confirmed that the more characteristic factors in machine learning, the better the performance.
