Recent advances of neuroimaging and electrophysiological monitoring technique have contributed in improving the surgical outcome of frontal lobe epilepsy. The authors have analysed 36 consecutive cases of intractable frontal lobe epilepsy that were treated at our institute between September. 1992 and December, 1995 to determine the clinical, electrophysiological, and neuroimaging characteristics as well as to delineate the efficacy of surgical treatment in improving the seizure outcome. The patients consisted of 19 males and 17 females. The mean age of the seizure onset and the mean duration of epilepsy were 14.9 and 11.6 years, respectively. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) showed no lesion in 9 patients and pathological lesions in 27 patients. The types of the lesions observed included primary brain tumor, mostly low-grade glioma in 10 patients, cortical dysplasia in 4, posttraumatic scar in 4, neocortical gliosis in 3, cyst in 3, and postencephalitic atrophy in 3. Intracranial recordings were performed in 23 cases to determine the epileptogenic zone. The surgical outcome was graded according to Engle’s Classification as Class A in 20 patients. Class B in 2, Class C in 9, and Class D in 5. The surgical outcome was promising regardless of the presence or the absence of the lesion on MRI, invasive recording, age of seizure onset, and duration of epilepsy.

붕장어 가공부산물인 머리와 frame를 효율적으로 이용하기 위한 일련의 연구로 붕장어 부산물을 이용한 붕장어탕의 개발을 시도하였고, 아울러 이의 식품성분 특성에 대하여도 살펴보았다. 살균조건 및 가온일수에 따른 붕장어탕의 저장성 부여를 위한 최적 살균조건은 F? value=8분으로 판단되었다. 붕장어탕의 일반성분은 수분의 경우 90.7%, 조단백질의 경우 4.8%, 조지방의 경우 2.6%, 조회분의 경우 1.5%를 나타내었다. 붕장어탕의 엑스분 질소 함량은 243.1 ㎎/100 g으로 시판 추어탕의 208.0 ㎎/100 g보다 높았다. 붕장어탕의 총 아미노산 함량은 4,310 ㎎/100 g이었고, 주요 구성아미노산은 glutamic acid(637.3 ㎎/100 g, 14.8%), glycine(409.1 ㎎/100 g, 9.5%) 및 alanine(404.4 ㎎/100 g, 9.3%)등이었다. 붕장어탕은 관능적인 비린내는 거의 감지되지 않았고, 맛은 우수하였으며, 항산화능이 인정되었으나 ACE 저해능은 크게 기대할 수 없었다. For the effective use of the conger eel by-products, such as head and frame, Tang, which is the Korean-type soup, from conger eel by-products (TCEB) was developed and its food component characterization was compared with that of commercial Chueotang, loach Tang. According to the results of viable cells and coliform group of TCEB heated at 115oC for various times, the reasonable F0 value was 8 min. The proximate composition of TCEB was 90.7% for the moisture, 4.8% for the protein, 2.6% for the lipid, and 1.5% for the ash. The extractive-nitrogen content of TCEB was 243.1 ㎎/100 g, which was higher than that of commercial Chueotang, 208.0 ㎎/100 g. The total amino acid content of TCEB was 4,310 ㎎/100 g and its major amino acids were glutamic acid (637.3 ㎎/100 g, 14.8%), glycine (409.1 ㎎/100 g, 9.5%) and alanine (404.4 ㎎/100 g, 9.3%). TCEB was not felt in the sensual fish odor and its sensual taste was good. The health functional properties for health of TCEB were 1.29 as a PF (protection factor) for antioxidative activity and 39.4% for angiotensin Ⅰ converting enzyme (ACE) inhibiting activity.

Background and Purposes: Over the past three decades, numerous studies performed in Korea have reported that job stress is a determinant risk factor for chronic diseases and work disability. Every society has its own culture and occupational climate particular to their organizations, and hence experiences different occupational stress. An occupational stress measurement tool therefore needs to be developed to estimate it objectively. The purpose of this study is to develop and standardize the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) which is considered to be unique and specific occupational stressors in Korean employees. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained from the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress (NSDSOS Project: 2002-2004). A total of 12,631 employees from a nationwide sample proportional to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification and the Korean Standard Occupational Classification were administered. The KOSS was developed for 2 years (2002-2004). In the first year, we collected 255 items from the most popular job stress measurement tools such as JCQ, ERI, NIOSH and OSI, and 44 items derived from the a qualitative study (depth interview). Forty-three items of KOSS, in the second year, were retained for use in the final version of the KOSS by using Delphi and factor analysis. Items were scored using conventional 1-2-3-4 Likert scores for the response categories. Results: We developed eight subscales by using factor analysis and validation process: physical environment (3 items), job demand (8 items), insufficient job control (5 items), interpersonal conflict (4 items), job insecurity (6 items), organizational system (7 items), lack of reward (6 items), and occupational climate (4 items). Together they explained 50.0% of total variance. Internal consistency alpha scores were ranged from 0.51 to 0.82. Twenty-four items of the short form of the KOSS (KOSS-SF) were also developed to estimate job stress in the work setting. Because the levels of the subscales of occupational stress were gender dependent, gender-specific standard norms for both the 43-item full version and the 24-item short form using a quartile for the subscales of KOSS were presented. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that KOSS might be an appropriate measurement scale to estimate occupational stress of Korean employees. Further and more detailed study needs to be conducted to improve the validity of this scale.

본 연구에서는 소나무 혼합수종을 이용하여 에너지 밀도 증가, 균일한 품질의 바이오매스 제공을 위해 무산소 조건에서 반탄화를 실시하였다. 반응온도는 240, 260, 280˚C로 하여 30분 동안 반응시킨 후반탄화 바이오매스 특성을 조사하였다. 침엽수혼합수종의 반탄화는 무처리 바이오매스와 비교하여 발열량이 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 반탄화 온도가 증가할수록 반탄화된 바이오매스의 탄소함량은 최대 46.55%에서 55.73%로 증가하였다. 반면 수소와 산소의 함 량은 각각 6.00%에서 5.87%, 30.55%에서 27.21%로 감소하였다. 반탄화 과정에서 주로 헤미셀룰로오스와 휘발성 물 질이 제거되었다. 280˚C에서 30분 동안 반응하였을 때 최대 발열량 5,132 kcal/kg을 나타냈다. 이것은 처리전 바이오 매스의 발열량 보다 약 13% 증가하였음을 나타내고 있다. 중량감소율과 에너지수율을 고려하여 비교한 결과 240˚C 에서 30분 동안 처리하였을 때 효과적인 반탄화가 이루어졌다. In this study, torrefaction of mixed softwood chips under anoxic condition was performed to improve energy density and maintain consistent quality of biomass. Characteristics of torrefied biomass depending on reaction time (30 min) and temperature (240, 260, 280˚C) were investigated. Torrefaction of mixed softwood chips significantly improved the heating value compared to that of untreated biomass. As the torrefaction temperature was increased, the carbon content of torrefied biomass increased from 46.55 to 55.73%, while its hydrogen and oxygen contents decreased from 6.00 to 5.87% and from 30.55 to 27.21%, respectively. Most of hemicelluloses and volatile compounds were removed during torrefaction. The highest heating value was 5132 kcal/kg when torrefaction was performed at 280˚C for 30 min. It implied that the heating value increased by 13% compared to that of original biomass. However, the condition of effective torrefaction was at 240˚C for 30 min when weight loss and energy yield was considered.

Al₃Sc 나노 석출물이 ARB 가공한 Al-0.2 wt% Sc 합금의 고경각립계 형성에 미치는 영향

민복기,김형욱,강석봉 대한금속재료학회 2004 대한금속·재료학회지 Vol.42 No.12

The cold rolled Al-0.2 wt% Sc alloy sheets were pre- heat treated: (1) as solution treated at 630℃ for 1 hour and (2) as artificial aged at 300℃ for 5 hours, and the following accumulative roll bonding was conducted up to the 8 cycles at ambient temperature. The interconnecting boundary spacing of the aged alloys was narrow and maintained constantly at each ARB cycle. While, the spacing of solution treated alloy was relatively broad and decreased rapidly with increasing ARB cycles. The fraction of high angle boundaries in both alloys increased gradually with increasing equivalent strain, however the age-ARB alloys showed relatively higher fraction of HAGBs than the solution treat-ARB alloys at the same strain levels. And the former shows faster development of lamellar structure than the later. These variations are attributed to the fact that the nano-scale, semi-coherent A13Sc hinders the migration of dislocation. However, those precipitates cannot apply pinning effect sufficiently during static recrystallization above 350℃ because the driving pressure for recrystallization overcomes the Zener pinning pressure.

組合回路에 對한 檢査性 測定法의 比較 硏究

김명선,김신택,민형복 成均館大學校 科學技術硏究所 1994 論文集 Vol.45 No.2

Fault coverage evaluated by fault simulators is accurate. However, fault simulation is not only memory consuming but also time consuming, and fault simulation time is propotional to, at least, square of circuit size. These limitations become more serious because of increased circuit densities. Recently, several algorithms for testability measures have been published. In this paper, three algorithms, STAFAN, COP, and PREDICT, are compared each other with respect to accuracy and execution time, in order to provide a useful guideline for those who plan to design a new digital circuit.

요추간판 탈출증 환자에서 수술후 운동요법이 기능적 회복에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

민경수,박형천,김현주 충북대학교 의과대학 충북대학교 의학연구소 1996 忠北醫大學術誌 Vol.6 No.1

요추간판 탈출증은 기능적 척추단위의 퇴행성 변화에 의한 질환들의 일부분이며 성공적으로 수핵을 제거하고 신경근을 감압하였다 하더라고 그 기본적인 병태생리적 과정을 차단하는 것은 아니다. 또한 수술적 치료가 일반화되고 높은 성공율이 보고되고 있음에도 불구하고 상당수에서 요통, 신체적 수행능력의 장애, 정신심리적 장애가 있어 정상적인 생활로의 복귀에 문제가 있으며 추간판 탈출증 수술후 환자들에게서 수술후 척추의 가동성이나 유연성, 복근, 척추배근 등의 근력을 측정한 결과 정상인과 현격한 차이가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 따라서 추간판 탈출증 수술후 환자들에게도 운동요법을 중심으로한 재활치료가 필요하며 그 효과를 평가하기 위하여 25명의 추간판 탈출증 수술후 환자들을 대상으로 운동요법을 교육시켜 실시한 12명의 실험군과 그렇지 않은 13명의 대조군으로 나누어 퇴원 1달후까지 추적관찰을 통하여 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 운동요법은 수술 2일 후부터 하지의 관절가동역 및 유연성의 증대, 근력강화를 위한 3가지 운동을 실시하였으며 수술 1주 후부터는 체간의 굴곡운동, 신장운동 4종류를 추가하였다. 결과의 평가 척도로는 수술후 입원일수, 요통 및 하지 방사통의 통증점수, 활동능력의 장애도 등을 이용하였다. 그 결과 실험군의 환자들은 운동요법에 대해 매우 긍정적인 반응을 보였으며 순응도가 높았다. 그러나 수술후 입원기간, 퇴원 1달후 요통의 정도, 수술 1주후에서 퇴원 1달후까지 요통의 호전정도, 퇴원 1달후 활동능력의 장애도는 양군에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 반면 수술 1주후에서 퇴원 1달후까지 하지 방사통의 호전정도는 실험군에 유의하게 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이러한 결과만 가지고 운동요법의 효과를 판단하기에는 부족한 점이 많으며 앞으로 표본의 수를 늘리고 더 장기간 추적 관찰을 하는 것이 필요하며 구체적 운동방법의 선택적용에 있어서도 그 효과를 최적화하기 위한 연구들이 필요하다. Herniation of the lumbar disc is a portion of the spectrum of degenerative diseases of the functional spinal unit and, successful decompression of the nerve root by discectomy can not prevent the progression of the degenerative process. Despite of high success rate of surgery there are many patients who can not return to mormal life and work due to postoperative pain, physical impairment, and psychologic distress. And there are resports on postdiscetomy patients having significantly decreased mobility of the spine, strength and endurance of abdominal muscles and trunk extensors. So a rehabilitation program focused on exercise therapy is necessary in postdiscectomy patients. To evaluate the effects of the exercise therapy 25 postdiscectomy patients consisted of 12 patients educated on postoperative exercise and 13 patients of control group were followed-up for 1 month after discharge. In case group exercise therapy was started on the second postoperative day with 3 kinds of lower extremity exercises for the improvement of mobility and strength. And 4 kinds of flexion and stretching exercises of the trunk were added 1 week postoperatively. As scales of evaluation the duration of the postoperative admission, pain scores and duration of low back pain and radiating leg pain, and disability of nine basic activities of daily living were used. As results the patients in the case group showed very affirmative reponse to the exercise therapy and were very compliant. But the duration of postoperative admission, pain scores in low back pain at follow-up 1 month, the degree of improvement in low back pain scores from postoperative 1 week to follow-up 1 month showed no statistically significant difference between two groups. The disability index at follow-up 1 month also showed no statistically significant difference. On the contrary, the degree of improvement in leg pain scores from postoperative 1 week to follow-up 1 month showed significant difference(p=0.0048) between two groups. But these results are insufficient for the evaluation of the effectiveness of exercise therapy and further studies with more cases with long-term follow-up to optimize the exercise therapy program are necessary.
