( Chang Il Kwon ),( Seo Mi Gon Jeong ),( Young Bin Shin ),( Yun Sun Moon ),( Eui Chang Jung ),( Chi Yeon Kim ),( Tae Jin Yoon ) 대한피부과학회 2020 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.72 No.1

Background: Various primary tumors can cause metastatic skin cancer. Metastatic skin lesion should be distinguished from other skin lesion. Objectives: We studied patients with metastatic skin cancer to find out average age, gender distribution, frequency of primary tumor, time interval between manifestation and primary cancer, and their clinical appearance, location and other metastatic sites. Methods: We reviewed the medical records, clinical photographs and histopathologic records of patients who had been diagnosed with metastatic skin cancer. Results: In the comparison according to clinical records, the mean age at the time of diagnosis was 60.6 years. The ratio of men to women was 1.05:1. The most frequent primary tumors were breast cancer (22.0%), lung cancer (17.0%), head and neck cancer (17%), melanoma (17.0%), gastrointestinal cancer (11%), urologic cancer (11%), and gynecologic cancer (6%). Metastatic skin cancers usually presented as discrete, painless, hard nodules, with sudden onset (88%). Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it is believed that it is important to recognize the metastatic lesion between various skin lesion such as infections and granulomatous changes of other cause due to drugs and reactive changes.

Background/Aims : Paracentesis is an acceptable therapeutic modality for the symptomatic relief of dyspnea or abdominal fullness due to tense ascites in patients with cirrhosis. Whereas studies about the effects of paracentesis focused on the changes about hemodynamics, electrolytes and renal function in great detail, the effects of paracentesis on the changes about respiratory system have undergone limited investigations which are defined large-volume paracentesis. Methods .' We performed pulmonary function tests with arterial blood gas analysis just before and 24 hr after paracentesis. The paracentesis of average 2,300ml was carried out in ten liver cirrhosis patients with tense ascites who were free from underlying cardiopulmonary impairment. Results '. 1. The results of pulmonary function test just before paracentesis were as followings; FVC( functional vital capacity), FEV1(forced expiratory volume in 1 sec), FEF25 75(forced expiratory effort 25% 75%) and TLC(total lung capacity) were decreased as 78%, 79%, 62.3% and 89% of normal control value respectively, whereas RV(residual volume) was not decreased. DLCO(lung diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide)was decreased as 61.6%. 2. The results of pulmona function test 24 hr after paracentesis were as followings,' The symptomatic relief of dyspnea was achieved in all participated ten patients. Among lung volume parameters, FVC and VC were increased significantly(p=0.003, p=0.004). Whereas TLC was increased without statistical significance(p=0.228), and RV and FRC(functional residual capacity) showed no change. FEV1 was increased significantly(p=0.039), but FEF25 75 and the ratio of FEF1/FVC showed no change. DLCO was not increased. PaOy(partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood) was impr'oved without statistical significance. Conclusions .' These results suggest that the patients of liver cirrhosis with ascites have restrictive ventilatory impairment with additional obstructive ventilatory impairment. After paracentesis, the restrictive ventilatop impairment is improved by the relief of diaphragmatic motion limitation caused by ascites. Also, paracentesis of(not large volume, like 5000ml, but) relatively small volume, of 2000 3000ml can achieve objective improvement of dyspnea due to tense ascites.

적응 신경망 수신기를 이용한 DS/CDMA 다중사용자간섭(MAI) 제거

김재수,김창선,김성곤,변건식 동아대학교 2001 大學院論文集 Vol.26 No.-

The capacity of direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS/CDMA) systems is co-channel severely limited by multiple access interference (MAI) produced by the other users. To improve the capacity, joint-detection receivers and MAI cancellation techniques have been proposed.[1][2][3] This paper presents an adaptive neural network-based receiver that has the capacity of combating the 'near-far' problem and rejecting the multi-user interference in a multipath channel.[4] A comparative performance analysis of the conventional receiver and the adaptive neural network receiver is camel out using a Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that the new receiver performs extremely well in multipath and multiple access channels with a significant 'near-far' effect.

Kim, Sang-Gon,Wang, Yiming,Lee, Chang-Hoon,Mun, Bong-Gyu,Kim, Pil-Joo,Lee, Sang-Yeol,Kim, Yong-Chul,Kang, Kyu-Young,Rakwal, Randeep,Agrawal, Ganesh Kumar,Kim, Sun-Tae The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistr 2011 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.54 No.5

Rice takes up phosphorous (P) as major nutrient source for its growth and development when grown under anaerobic water-logged soil conditions. To better understand the underlying mechanisms and to develop potential protein biomarkers of P-starvation, hydroponically-grown rice seedlings in the complete media and phosphorus absence (P-starvation) of phosphorous nutrient solutions were investigated for physiological and proteome changes. The P-starvation manifested significant reduction in root growth in three-week-old seedlings compared to respective complete media. Furthermore, P-starvation also showed increased activity of acid phosphatase in roots of one- and three-week-old seedlings, suggesting that experimental design is suitable for proteomics survey of P-starvation responsive proteins. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry analysis of total root protein from three-week-old seedlings identified 10 P-starvation responsive protein spots out of 140 high-quality protein spots. Identified 10 proteins were involved in metabolism and defense/stress response. Out of 10, 2 and 8 protein spots were found to be up- and down-regulated, respectively. Semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of corresponding genes of four randomly selected proteins, including putative glyceraldehydes-3-phophate dehydrogenase (G3PDH, spot R1), S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase (SAMS, spot R4), ATP synthase subunit alpha (spot R6), and root-specific pathogenesis-related protein 10 (PR-10, spot R8), showed that just as protein abundance, these proteins are also regulated at the transcript level. Results suggest identified P-starvation responsive proteins are involved in maintaining nutrient homeostasis and/or associated with changes in root physiology under the absence of P.

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) may be defined as a disordered response by extremity to trauma manifested by pain, vasomotor disturbances, delayed return of function, and trophic changes. This 43 year old female patient had ruptured ulnar collateral ligament of metacarpophala-ngeal joint by rear-car during carrying the earth. She visited orthopedics on July 10, 1989 complaining of burning pain and swelling on M-P joint of left thumb. In spite of medication and physical therapy, there was continued severe pain and dystrophic change on left upper expremity. On March 5, 1990 after supraclavicular block was performed with 20 ㎖ of 0.5 % bupivacaine she had no pain for 18 hours. Next day stellate ganglion block (SGB) was performed with 10 ㎖ of 1.0 % lidocalin. Forty minutes after SGB, she became unable to move her leg. Afterward, her left lower extremity developed similar symptoms and signs as those of her left upper extremity. We know of no reported cases of lower extremity motor loss following SGB. Further evaluation is needed for diagnosis of this case.

An empirical study on yard inventory change according to containers’ dwell times. This study was supported by grant of Sunchon National University, Korea

Chang-gon Kim,Myoung-Kil Youn 한국유통과학회 2013 유통과학연구 Vol.11 No.5

Purpose - Yard inventories increase when export containers are carried into the terminal and decrease when import containers are delivered to the consigners. The purpose of this study is to analyze container inventories according to the weekly ship arrival pattern at container terminals. Research design, data, and methodology - As container ships operate according to weekly schedules based on shipping companies and their routes, specific terminals provide a fixed-day service in a week. Thus, yard inventories can change with weekly fluctuations. The data used in this study were the actualdata at specific container terminals. Result - The dwell times of each container at a terminal represent an important variable that affectsyard inventories. Even cargo flows are steady in a given period, if dwell times are prolonged, yard inventories increase. Conclusion - Dwell time is another factor causing yard inventory change. Therefore, the calculation for yard inventories should consider the weekly ship arrival patterns and dwell times of each container. Further, at the planning stage, dwell time should be more carefully considered to calculate yard capacity.

Effects of aerosol on evaporation, freezing and precipitation in a multiple cloud system

Lee, Seoung Soo,Kim, Byung-Gon,Yum, Seong Soo,Seo, Kyong-Hwan,Jung, Chang-Hoon,Um, Jun Shik,Li, Zhanqing,Hong, JinKyu,Chang, Ki-Ho,Jeong, Jin-Yim Springer-Verlag 2017 Climate dynamics Vol.48 No.3

<P>Aerosol effects on clouds and precipitation account for a large portion of uncertainties in the prediction of the future course of global hydrologic circulations and climate. As a process of a better understanding of interactions between aerosol, clouds and precipitation, simulations are performed for a mixed-phase convective multiple-cloud system over the tropics. Studies on single-cloud systems have shown that aerosol-induced increases in freezing, associated increases in parcel buoyancy and thus the intensity of clouds (or updrafts) are a main mechanism which controls aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions in convective clouds. However, in the multiple-cloud system that plays much more important roles in global hydrologic circulations and thus climate than single-cloud systems, aerosol effects on condensation play the most important role in aerosol-induced changes in the intensity of clouds and the effects on freezing play a negligible role in those changes. Aerosol-induced enhancement in evaporation intensifies gust fronts and increases the number of subsequently developing clouds, which leads to the substantial increases in condensation and associated intensity of convection. Although aerosol-induced enhancement in freezing takes part in the increases in condensation by inducing stronger convergence around cloud bottom, the increases in condensation are similar to one order of magnitude larger than those in freezing. It is found that while aerosol-induced increases in freezing create intermittent extremely heavy precipitation, aerosol-induced increases in evaporation enhance light and medium precipitation in the multiple-cloud system here. This increase in light and medium precipitation makes it possible that cumulative precipitation increases with increasing aerosol concentration, although the increase is small. It is interesting that the altitude of the maximum of the time- and domain-averaged hydrometeor mass densities is quite robust to increases in aerosol concentration. This is because locations of gust fronts and homogeneous freezing do not vary significantly with changing aerosol concentration and this outweighs aerosol effects on hydrometeor size.</P>

Uterine myoma is the most common solid pelvic tumor in women. Nevertheless, etiology and symptomatology remain poorly understood, and management is inconsistent. In an effort to improve understanding of these aspects of uterine myoma, we have reviewed and analysed the data results obtained from myoma patients at department of obstetrics and gynecology, Wonkwang university hospital during the years 1995 to 1996. The following results have been obtained. 1. During the period the incidence of uterine myoma among 1,116 cases of major gynecologic surgery was 27.2 %. 2. Myoma was observed most frequently in the age group 40 to 49 years and the mean age was 43.6 years. 3. The intramural type was observed in 200 cases (65.8 %), mixed type in 53 cases (17.4 %), subserous type in 29 cases (9.5 %) and submucous type in 22 cases (7.3 %) respectively. 4. The symptoms commonly found in decreasing order were abnormal uterine bleeding (57.3 %), pain or pressure symptoms (53.3 %) and palpable mass (22.4 %). 5. Hypermenorrhea was observed in 96 cases (31.6 %) and there were significant correlations between the presence of hypermenorrhea and the type of myoma, associated adenomyosis. ( p< 0.05 ) 6. There were no significant correlations between the dysmenorrhea and the type of myoma, associated adenomyosis. ( p > 0.05 ) 7. Abnormal electrocardiographic findings were noticed in 18.8 %. 8. Mean hemoglobin level were 10.2 gm/㎗ and less than 10 gm/㎗ was found in 26.6 % and transfusion was performed in 20.8 %. 9. The most frequently associated disease in uterine myoma was adenomyosis seen in 43.4 %. 10. The secondary pathologic changes in uterine myoma were found in 5.0 % and the most common change was hyaline degeneration (3.0 %). 11. The infertility was observed in 10.2 % in which the primary infertility was 6.3 % and secondary 3.9 % respectively. 12. Total abdominal hysterectomy was performed in 84.2 % and vaginal hysterectomy in 11.8 %, myomectomy in 3.3 % respectively. 13. The postoperative complications were found in 26.6 % and the most common complication was the fever (13.8 %).
