<P>The purpose of this study was to improve the speech processing strategy for cochlear implants (CIs) based on a nonlinear time-varying filter model of a biological cochlea. The level-dependent frequency response characteristic of the basilar membrane is known to produce robust formant representation and speech perception in noise. A dual resonance nonlinear (DRNL) model was adopted because it is simpler than other adaptive nonlinear models of the basilar membrane and can be readily incorporated into the CI speech processor. Spectral analysis showed that formant information is more saliently represented at the output of the proposed CI speech processor compared to the conventional strategy in noisy conditions. Acoustic simulation and hearing experiments showed that the DRNL-based nonlinear strategy improves speech performance in a speech-spectrum-shaped noise.</P>

Ventricular septal defect remains an infrequent but devastating complication of acute MI. Approximately 1∼3% of cases of acute myocardial infarction are complicated by ventricular septal rupture in the prethrombolytic era and the incidence has decreased to 0.2% with reperfusion therapy. This mechanical complication usually occurs within the first 10 to 14 days when necrotic tissue is most abundant and the collateral coronary circulation is not well developed. This lesion is generally associated with complete coronary obstruction rather than severe stenosis. Rupture of the ventricular septum is a severe mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction, usually resulting in death unless surgical repair is performed. The bad prognosis of this event within the first 2 weeks indicates the need for early surgical rapair. This complication is more frequent after the first acute myocardial infarction in the elderly and secondary to a transmural myocardial infarction. We report two cases of ventricular septal rupture after acute myocardial infarction.

The Pusan Container Terminal faces a rapid increase in berthing time of container ships as well as in waiting time of external trucks, which is due to an absolute lack of yard space. This research is focused on the development of a decision support system for the planning of the container terminal yard assignment so that the yard space would be utilized most effectively. Efforts should be given to the reasonable assignment of the yard storage and the dynamic adaptation to the ever changing environment. The software introduced here is based o the know-how of the field exports and its framework takes the approach of the hierarchical decision making.

This study investigated mean airborne CO concention of 15 workplaces, suspected of CO exposure and conducted self-reported questionnaire completion and indirect COHb concentration measure using Micro II Smokerlyzer to healthy 702 adult subjects from 1999 May to 1999 September in order to find a relation of CO exposure and occupational factors, socioeconomic factors, and health related behaviors and confirm the related conditions in the screening test for CO exposure. The results of this study were summarized as follows : 1. In the CO exposed and non exposed group, COHb concentrations of the smokers were 2.55±0.96% and 2.21±0.97% and that got a statistically significant difference, There were not statistically significant differences in the age and total smoking index. Passed times after the last smoking, Working time/day, and working duration were statistically significant difference (p〈0.05). 2. In the CO exposed and non exposed group, COHb concentrations of non-smoking group were 0.94±0.35% and 0.68±0.47% and that got a statistically significant difference. There were not statistically significant differences in the age and working duration but Working time/day was a statistically significant difference(p〈0.05). 3. In the CO exposed group, r-square of multiple regression of the smokers was 38.5 % and passed time after the last smoking, working time/day, and job category were statistically significant differences (p〈0.05). And r-square in the CO non-exposed group was 38.3 % and age, passed time after the last smoking, and total smoking index were statistically significant difference. 4. In the CO exposed group, r-square of multiple repression of the non-smokers was 66.3% and job category and airborne CO concentration were statistically significant differences(p〈0.05). But r-square of non-smokers in the CO non-exposed group was 1.0% and there was not a statistically significant difference(p〈0.05). 5. In the smokers of CO exposed and non exposed groups, relation of COHb concentration and passed time after the last smoking was expressed as exponential function, Y = 2.9182e-0.0083x and r-square of this function was 37.4%. Therefore it was more than 150 minutes that passed time after the last smoking was when COHb concentrations were measured as less than 1%. In conclusion, variable, that was statistically significant to COHb concentraion in the both CO exposed and non-exposed smokers, was a passed time after the last smoking. We suggest that you have to restrict the smoking of smokers at least 150 minutes in the exposed and non exposed group before COHb concentration measure in order to exclude smoking effects

연구목적 : 본 시험의 목적은 임상시험 시작전에 연구자들을 대상으로 PANSS Workshop을 통하여 PANSS, ESRS에 대한 국내에서의 표준화 작업을 구축하고 새로운 정신병 치료제인 리스페리돈의 효과와 안정성을 재확인하여 리스페리돈 사용에 대한 적정화를 이루는데 있다. 연구방법 : 1996년 4월부터 1996년 9월까지 국내 39개 대학병원 정신과에 입원중인 혹은 증상이 악화되어 입원하는 정신분열병 환자 377명을 대상으로 다시설 개방 연구를 시행하였다. 1주일간의 약물 배설기간을 가진후, 리스페리돈을 8주간 투여하였고, 기준점, 1주, 2주, 4주, 그리고 8주후에 평가되었다. 용량은 제1일에는 리스페리돈 1mg씩 1일 2회, 제2일에는 2mg씩 1일 2회, 제3∼7일에는 3mg씩 1일 2회 투여하였다. 이후 환자의 임상상태에 따라 임의로 증량할 수 있으며, 최대 일일 16mg을 초과하지 않도록 하였다. 추체외로 증상을 조절하기 위한 투약을 허용하였다. 임상증상 및 부작용의 평가는 PANSS(Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale), CGI(Clinical Global Impression) 그리고 ESRS(Extrapyramidal Symptom Rating Scale)을 사용하였다. 연구결과 : 377명중 343명(91%)이 8주간의 연구를 완결하였다. 치료 종결시점인 8주후 PANSS 총점수가 20% 이상 호전된 경우를 약물 반응군으로 정의할때, 약물반응군은 81.3%였다. 리스페리돈에 반응하는 예측인자로는 발병연령, 이전의 입원 횟수, 유병기간이 관련 있었다. 리스페리돈은 1주후부터 PANSS양성, 음성, 및 일반정신병리 점수상에 유의한 호전을 보여 효과가 빨랐다. CGI의 경우도 기준점에 비해 1주후부터 유의한 감소를 나타내었다. ESRS의 경우, 파킨슨 평가점수는 기준점과 비교해 투여 1주, 2주, 4주후 유의하게 증가되었다가 8주후 기준점과 차이가 없었다. Dystonia 평가점수는 1주후만 유의한 증가를 보였으며, dyskinesia 평가점수는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 혈압, 맥박수의 생명징후 및 일반 혈액학 검사, 생화학적 검사, 심전도 검사에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 이상의 다시설 개방 임상 연구를 통해 리스페리돈은 정신분열병 환자에서 양성증상뿐만 아니라 음성증상 및 전반적인 증상에도 효과적인 것으로 사료된다. 보다 명확한 평가를 위해서는 다른 항정신병약물과의 이중맹검 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각되며, 또한 장기적 치료에 대한 평가도 함께 이루어져야 하겠다. Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of risperidone in the treatment of Korean schizophrenic patients. Method : This multicenter open study included 377 schizophrenic patients drawn from 39 university hospitals. After a wash-out period of 1 week, the schizophrenic patients were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks and evaluated at 5 points ; at baseline, and 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. The dose was increased from 2mg/day(1mg twice daily) to 6mg/day(3mg twice daily) during the first week and adjusted to a maximum of 16mg/day over the next 7 weeks according to the patient's clinical response. Medication to control extrapyramidal symptoms was permitted. The psychiatric and neurological status of the patients was assessed by PANSS, CGI, and ESRS scales. Results : 343(91%) of 377 patients completed the 8-week trial period. Clinical improvement, as defined by a 20% or more reduction in total PANSS score at end point, was shown by 81.3% of patients. The predictors of response to risperidone were associated older age, shorter duration of illness, fewer previous hospitalization. Risperidone had rapid onset of action ; a significant decrease of the total PANSS and three PANSS factor(positive, negative, general), and CGI was already noticed at the end of first week. For the ESRS, parkinsonism rating scores were significantly increased until week 4 comparing with baseline. Dystonia rating scores were significantly increased until week 1, and dyskinesia rating scores were not significantly changed during the study. Laboratory parameters including vital sign, EKG, hematological, and biochemical values showed no significant changes during the trial. Conclusions : This study suggests that risperidone is generally safe and effective against both the positive and negative symptoms in our group of patients.

Cisplatin에 의한 흰쥐 공장의 alkaline phosphatase 활성변화에 미치는 SOD의 영향

김성목,현성희,전영희,문원진,백두진 한양대학교 의과대학 1995 한양의대 학술지 Vol.15 No.1

Cisplatin has been widely used as an effective anticancer platinum compound. Cisplatin incorporates with intrastrand or interstrand of the DNA and it inhibits the synthesis of the nucleic acid and protein. During the treatment of cancer patients, cisplatin acts on normally proliferating cells, which results in nephrotoxicity, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, bone marrow suppression and inner ear damage. These toxicities are related to oxygen free radicals formation by cisplatin, which inhibits the activity of the catalase and admages the mitochondria. The author has demonstrated the effect of superoxide dismutase(SOD), one of the antioxidant enzymes, on changes of alkaline phosphatase activities in the jejunum of the cisplatin treated rats. A total of 60 healthy Sprague-Dawley rats weighing about 200gm were used as an experimental animals. Cisplatin(6mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally with pretreatment of 15000unit/kg of SOD or not. The experimental animals are sacrificed at 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 3 days after the administration of cisplatin. A part of jejunum were obtained and fixed in 10%-neutral formalin at 4℃. The speciments were sectioned 16㎛ thickness in frozen cryostat. The activity of alkaline phosphatase was evaluated histochemically by Gomori's method and incubation time of sections of specimens was 30minutes. The results were as follows. 1. SOD increase the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the epithelium of jejunum of the rat. 2. The activities of alkaline phosphatase of the epithelium of the mucosa decrease in jejunum of 6 hours and 12 hours of cisplatin treated rats. In the 24 hours and 3 days, activities of alkaline phosphatase of the epithelium increase. The atrophied villi are observed in the 12 hours and 24 hours of cisplatin treated group. 3. The activities of alkaline phosphatase increase in 12 hours and 3 days of cisplatin treated group with SOD pretreatment, the activities decrease in 6 hours of cisplatin treated group with SOD pretreatment. The activities of alkaline phosphatase in the 24 hours of cisplatin treated group with SOD pretreatment show a decided decrease over those of control group with SOD pretreatment. The atrophied villi are seen in the 12 hours and 24 hours of cisplatin treated group with SOD pretreatment. 4. The activities of alkaline phosphatase in the cisplatin treated group with SOD pretreatment are higher than those in the cisplatin treated group, except 24 hours of cisplatin treated group. 5. There are very little changes of alkaline phosphatase activities in the lamina propria, submucosa and muscle layer of all groups. Consequently, these results suggests that cisplatin decreases the activity of the alkaline phosphatase and SOD pretreatment decreases the range of the change in alkaline phosphatase activity of jejunum of the cisplatin treated rats.

The major purpose of this research was to identify high school students' misconceptions on biology in high school Common Science Textbook. to find out high school students' misconceptions and cognitive structure in Common Science Textbook, the research was done as following. The research articles on misconceptions in 12 Common Science Textbooks published in Korean and the previous researches were collected and analyzed to find out the biological misconceptions, And in order to find out high school students' misconceptions on biology, a multiple choice test form of questionnaire was developed and composed of 38 items. Then, the final results of questionnaires sent to high schools in Busan were obtained by cluster sampling method and 1861 high school students from 5 high school participated in this study. And the collected data were analyzed to determine any significant differences by sex and the courses. Their responses were collected and the data were analyzed by χ^2-test and one-way ANOVA. The conclusion of the study is summarized as below. 1. From the analysis of the Common Science Textbooks, it was found that some concepts were not demonstrated correctly and the terminology used in the textbooks was different from book to book such as chlorophyll and chloroplast. 2. The difference from the previous researches lay in the fact that misconceptions arouse from biological terminology such as hypertension, respiration, nuclear phase, identical(one-egg) twins, law of independent. 3. There were not statistically significant differences in biological misconceptions between sexes and the courses. 4. Some misconceptions were found to be the same as one that teachers themselves have and the rate of misconceptions of metaconceptions was higher than that of subconceptions. It was because the contents of the current textbooks and conceptions dealt in college entrance exam mainly consisted of subconceptions and teachers also focused their instruction on them.
