Background: Genetic alterations have been identified in melanomas according to different levels of sun exposure. Whereas the conventional morphology-based classification provides a clue for tumor growth and prognosis, the new classification by genetic alterations offers a basis for targeted therapy. Objective: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the biological behavior of melanoma subtypes and compare the two classifications in the Korean population. Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients found to have malignant melanoma in Severance Hospital from 2005 to 2012. Age, sex, location of the tumor, histologic subtype, tumor depth, ulceration, lymph node invasion, visceral organ metastasis, and overall survival were evaluated. Results: Of the 206 cases, the most common type was acral melanoma (n=94, 45.6%), followed by nonchronic sun damage-induced melanoma (n=43, 20.9%), and mucosal melanoma (n=40, 19.4%). Twenty-one patients (10.2%) had the chronic sun-damaged type, whereas eight patients (3.9%) had tumors of unknown primary origin. Lentigo maligna melanoma was newly classified as the chronic sun-damaged type, and acral lentiginous melanoma as the acral type. More than half of the superficial spreading melanomas were newly grouped as nonchronic sun-damaged melanomas, whereas nodular melanoma was rather evenly distributed. Conclusion: The distribution of melanomas was largely similar in both the morphology-based and sun exposure-based classifications, and in both classifications, mucosal melanoma had the worst 5-year survival owing to its tumor thickness and advanced stage at the time of diagnosis.

이중구간중도절단된 생존자료의 생존함수 비교를 위한 검정: 한국인 암 예방연구 중 당뇨병에의 응용

지선하,남정모,김진흠,Jee, Sun-Ha,Nam, Chung-Mo,Kim, Jin-Heum 한국통계학회 2009 응용통계연구 Vol.22 No.3

이중구간중도절단된 자료의 생존함수를 비교하기 위한 두 검정법을 소개하고 한국인 암 예방연구 (Jee 등, 2005) 자료에 적용하여 당뇨병 잠복시간의 분포를 성별과 연령에 따라 비교하였다. Kim 등 (2006)의 검정법을 이중구간중도절단된 자료로 확장한 검정법은 위험집합의 크기에만 의존하는 가중값을 사용하기 때문에 대용량 자료의 분석에서 Sun (2006)의 검정법보다 계산 시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있으며, 이산형 생존자료뿐만 아니라 연속형 생존자료에도 적용가능한 장점이 있다. 당뇨병의 잠복시간이 성별에 따라 매우 유의하게 달랐으며 여자의 잠복시간이 남자보다 긴 것으로 나타났다. 4개 연령그룹 간 당뇨병의 잠복시간도 성별에 관계 없이 매우 유의하게 달랐으며 여자의 경우가 남자의 경우보다 그 차이가 훨씬 더 유의했다. 한편, 소표본 모의실험을 통해 제안한 검정법과 Sun (2006)의 검정법의 검정력을 비교하였으며 제안한 검정법의 검정력이 Sun (2006)의 검정법보다 더 좋은 것으로 나타났다. Two tests were introduced for comparing several survival functions with doubly interval-censored data and illustrated with data surveyed by Korean Cancer Prevention Study (Jee et al., 2005). The test which extended Kim et al. (2006)'s test to the doubly interval-censored data has an advantage over Sun (2006)'s test in terms of saving computation time because the proposed test only depends on the size of risk set, and also the proposed test is applicable to continuous failure time data as well as discrete failure time data unlike Sun's test. Comparing male with female groups on the incubation time of diabetes was highly different and the survival of female group was longer than that of male one. Regardless of gender, the difference in survival functions of four age groups was highly significant with p-value of less than 0.001. This trend was more remarkable for female group than for male one. Simulation results showed that the significance level of both tests was well controlled and the proposed test was better than Sun's test in terms of power.

The diagnosis of coronoid impingement using computed tomography

Baik, Jee-Seon,Huh, Kyung-Hoe,Park, Kwan-Soo,Park, Moo-Soon,Heo, Min-Suk,Lee, Sam-Sun,,Choi, Soon-Chul 대한구강악안면방사선학회 2005 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.35 No.4

Coronoid impingement can cause limitation of mouth opening. In many cases, it appears to be related to the coronoid hyperplasia. We present a case of mouth opening limitation caused by coronoid impingement on the posterior surface of the zygomatic bone without coronoid hyperplasia. The bony changes in coronoid and zygoma including surface irregularity and discontinuity of the cortex and sclerotic change of inner medullary space were noted on computed tomography (CT) scans in different level of axial planes. Through another CT scans in open mouth position could demonstrate that those bony changes were caused by the contact of both surfaces against each other. In case coronoid impingement is suspected of the many possible causes, the open mouth CT scans will be needed to reveal the direct impingement of coronoid on zygoma even without coronoid hyperplasia.

The domestic silkworm, Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae), has been diversified into various strains over a long period. However, methods to distinguish silkworm strains remain limited partially owing to the genetic similarity caused by the long history of domestication. In this study, we developed molecular identification methods to distinguish three domestic silkworm strains, which are endemic to Korea. By comparing publicly available complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences of five endemic strains and 34 stock silk worm strains analyzed in a previous study, we detected 15 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; SNP1–SNP15), which distinguished the following three endemic strains: Sun7ho (SN7), Sandongsammyeon (SDS), and Sammyeonhonghoeback (SMH). We used two SNPs for each strain to identify the three endemic strains. To distinguish each SN7 and SDS from the remaining four endemic and 34 stock strains, the PCRrestriction fragment length polymorphism method was employed using Acu I and Hpa I restriction enzymes, which recognize SNP1 and SNP8, respectively. Additionally, the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system PCR method was used to determine the regions containing SNP3, SNP11, and both SNP14 and SNP15 to distinguish SN7, SDS, and SMH, respectively, from the remaining strains. A validation test with additional in dividuals showed that each target strain was clearly recognized, suggesting that mitogenome SNP-based methods can be used to identify three endemic silkworm strains during culture and breeding.

Background : The authors of this study analyzed the effect of the green manures cultivated in the soil of the preparation field in order to select the green manures suitable for ginseng cultivation and the effect of the green manures on the variation of ginseng growth development, the content of crude saponin and yield ability with the aim to use the results as the primary data for improving the quality of ginseng. Methods and Results: To analyze the effect of the application of green manures on the growth of ginseng, the authors cultivated 4 varieties of green manures and installed blue polyethylene sheet and one-layered black polyethylene net+three-layered blue polyethylene net(OBPNTB) and sun-shading material on the managed soil by re-applying green manures and then cultivated ginseng. The results suggested that the growth of ginseng was excellent in the barley+hairy, barely and rye cultivation plot in the plot treated with OBPNTB rather than the cultivation plot teated with Blue polyethylene sheet(BPS) and two-layered blue & two-layered black polyethylene net(TBTBPN), and the growth of leaf length and stalk diameter was excellent in barely + hairy vetch material. For the underground root weight, the growth was the most excellent(30.19g) in the barley+ hairy vetch cultivation plot treated with OBPNTB. For the underground red discoloration and root rot, the incidence rate was the lowest in the plot treated with BPS in which the water leak in a levee was small than in the test plot treated with sun-shading net. For the ginsenoside content in the cultivation plot treated with TBTBPN, the ginsenoid content was the highest in the rey cultivation plot, and it was the highest in the cultivation plot treated with OBPNTB. Conclusion : The results of study suggested rye among green manures is the most suitable for the growth of ginseng; underground growth was the most prominent in the plot treated with sun-shading net material (black 1 + blue 3) and the underground ginsenoside content was the most prominent in the rye cultivation plot and the plot treated with the sun-shading sheet.

Objectives: The object of this study is to assess the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the predicted 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease by using health risk appraisal of ischemic heart disease. Methods: The study population was taken from The 2001 Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey, and it consisted of 1,566 men and 1,984 women aged 30-59. We calculated 10-year risk using the risk function of ischemic heart disease as developed by Jee. The educational level and equivalized household income were dichotomized by a 12 years education period and the median income level. Occupation was dichotomized into manual/non-manual work. We stratified the population by age(10 years) and sex, and then we rated the risk differences according to socioeconomic factors by performing t-tests for each strata. Results: There were gradients of the predicted 10-year risk of ischemic heart disease with the educational level and the equivalized household income, and thet was an increasing tendency of risk differences with age. Manual workers didn't show significant risk difference from non-manual workers. Conclusions: There was definite relationship between low socioeconomic position and the predicted risk of ischemic heart disease in the future.

계층적 트리의 집합 분할 알고리즘(SPIHT)에 기반한 에러에 강하고 가변적인 웨이브렛 비디오 코덱에 관한 연구

Compressed still image or video bitstreams require protection from channel errors in a wireless channel. Embedded Zerotree Coding(EZW), SPIHT could have provided unprecedented high performance in image compression with low complexity. But wavelet zerotree coding algorithms are producing variable-length codewords, extremely sensitive to bit errors. The idea is to partition the lifting coefficients. A many partition of lifting transform coefficients distributes channel error from wireless channel to each partition. Therefore synchronization problem that caused quality deterioration in still image and video stream was solved.

Contourlet 변환을 사용한 효과적인 방향성의 다해상도 영상 표현에 관한 연구

池仁鎬,張仙奉 弘益大學校 産業技術硏究所 2007 産業技術 Vol.17 No.-

In this paper, we purse a true two-dimensional transform that can capture the intrinsic geometrical structure that is key in visual information. The main challenge in exploring geometry In Images comes from the discrete nature of the data. We construct a discrete-domain multiresolution and multidirection expansion using nonseparable filter banks, in much the same way that waveleta were derived from filter banks. This construction results in a flexible multiresolution, local, and directional image expansion using contour segments, and thus, it is named the contour let transform. We establish a precise Iink between the developed fiIter bank and the associated cont i nuous-doamin contourlet expansion via a directional multiresolution analysis framework.

The aim of this study was to investigate the differences of health related fitness variables in korean women. A total of 419 women were recruited and divided into five age groups; 20s(n=163), 30s(n=99), 40s(n=79), 50s(n=61) and over 60s(n=17). In the results, the cardiopulmonary(F=10.150, p=0.001) and muscular endurance(F=3.360, p= 0.010) variables of 20s and 60s were significantly higher and lower than those of other four groups respectively. However, no differences were found among five groups in back strength, grip strength, and flexibility. The body mass indices(BMI) of 50s and 60s were significantly(F=21.033, p=0.001) higher than those of other four groups respectively. As a conclusion, from the results we think that the korean women may be favorable to be prescribed for the exercise programs, which can develop the cardiopulmonary and muscular endurance but decrease the fat mass.
