The field of medical images has been digitalized as the development of computer and the digitalization of the medical instruments. As a result it causes a lot of problems such as an illegal copy related to medical images and property right of the medical images. Therefore, digital watermarking is used for discrimination whether the data are modified or not. It is also used to protect both the property right of medical images and the private life of many patients. The proposed theories, the Non-blind and the Blind method, have two problems, One is needed an original image and the other is using a gaussian watermarking. This paper proposes the new Blind Watermarking using binary images in order to easily recognize the results of watermark. This algorism is described that an watermark of a binary image is wavelet-transformed, and then a transformed watermark is inserted in medium-band of frequency domains of original image by the Circular Input method. The propose method presented the good performance of over 0.97 in NC.

It has been 22 years since the first apartment was built in Korea. Recently more and more apartments have been being introduced to Korean people and has been changing traditional Korean life style. Residents of apartment complexes in Korea suffer from various problems such as sisregarding of traditional Korean exterior space, pathology, improper community facilities and green spaces, destruction of natural environment, and lack of diversity and chracter in buildings and outdoor spaces. Historically the techniques of residential site design have been developed through three evolutionary steps. The first step was the Garden City idea of Ebenezer Howard in England(1898). In his conceptual plan he located Grand Avenue in the center of residential site. However, the green space was divided by road from residential site. The second step was the Sunnyside Gardens in New York(1924). The city Housing corporation of New York City built apartments with new concept which contained large common green spaces within a block surrounded by apartment buildings. This was possible because the lot subdivision no longer existed. The third step was the Radburn Plan(1929) in New Jersey. This was the second project of the City Housing Corporation. This plan invented two important concepts in residential site design. The one is super block concept which does not permit vehicle road within a large block. The other one is culs-de-sac road of which has a dead end on the one end. These two concepts contribute to making internal common green space without car traffic. With this concept the housing was ideally interwoven with green spaces. The Radburn Plan was the beginning of cluster development in residential site and innovation for moter age. At present, after 50 years from Radburn Plan, the basis concept of it is still valid and useful in residential site design. However, we need to make another evolutionary step for the better quality of living. The situations in Korea are different from those in western countries. Apartment is one of the western-origin housing types. Koreans have to modify western-oriented apartment buildings and site plans for cultural adaptation. Furthermore, we have to create new concepts for the better quality of living. Followings are the propositions for site design of apartment complex in Korea. 1. Cultural Aspect-One of the traditional characters of Korean exterior space os intermediate space between interior and exterior space. In order to provide intermediate space, sequence planning and gradual change of space atmosphere in outdoor space design is needed. 2. Social Aspect-We have to consider life cycle of residents, provide various community activities, increase natural elements, and decrease pathologh in apartment complex. 3. Functional Aspect-Pedestrian was should be separated from vehicle way in any case. Pedestrian way system can be benefited from combining with green space system. Green spaces should have systematic link instead of dispersed disposition without connection. The land use pattern should also have systematic and functional relationship. 4. Ecological Aspect-Dynamic equlibrium in eco-system should be preserved or modified with minimum change during and after development. The elements in inventory should be checked are land slide, erosion, surface and ground water, vegetation, wildlife, micro climate, etc. 5. Perceptional Aspect-Apartment complex should be considered as a group form as well as individual form of buildings. It is recommendable to divide outdoor spaces into human scale and to give diversity to each space and building instead of uniform treatment.

한귀원,김명정,김성곤,변원탄 大韓神經精神醫學會 1996 신경정신의학 Vol.35 No.4

DSM-IV에 의하여 알콜 의존으로 진단되어 입원 중인 18세에서 65세 사이의 남자로서 과거 3주이상의 단주 경험이 있는 환자 110명을 대상으로 음주 욕구를 유발하는 조건화 자극의 종류와 빈도를 조사하였다. 먼저 예비조사를 통하여 환자들로부터 수집한 알콜연관자극들 중에서 흔한 내적 및 외적 자극 각각 25가지씩, 모두 50가지를 선정한 후, 대상 환자로 하여금 50가지의 알콜연관자극 중에서 자신에게 해당하는 자극을 모두 선택하게 하였다. 그 후 각 알콜연관자극의 빈도와 유형별 빈도를 조사하고 환자의 인구학적 특성, 음주력, 불안 및 우울 척도 등과 관련하여 검토하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 조건화 자극을 내적 및 외적 알콜연관자극으로 분류하였을 때, 내적 자극은 신체 상태, 긍정적 기분 상태 그리고 부정적 기분 상태로, 외적 자극은 즐거운 상황, 불쾌한 상황, 알콜과 연관된 상황 및 기타 상황으로 분류되었다. 2) 1인당 선택한 문항의 평균 수는 14.1±8.6개로 내적 자극이 7.5±4.8개, 외적 자극이 6.5±4.4개이었으며 각 자극을 하나라도 선택한 사람은, 내적 자극은 대상군 모두가 선택하였고 외적 자극은 대상군의 99.1%가 선택하였다. 부정적 기분 상태와 불쾌한 상황은 각각 97.3%, 88.2%로서 가장 높은 빈도를 보였고 긍정적 기분 상태와 즐거운 상황도 각각 42.7%, 71.8%로서 높은 빈도를 보였다. 신체 상태에 관한 자극은 대상군의 68.2%가, 알콜과 연관된 상황에 관한 자극은 68.2%가, 그리고 기타 상황에 관한 자극은 49.1%가 선택하였다. 3) 음주 욕구를 증가사켰던 내적 자극 중 높은 빈도로 선택된 문항들은 화가 날 때(71%), 외로울 때(47%),고민이 될 때(45%), 시장기가 돌 때(45%), 잠이 안올 때(45%) 등이었고, 외적 자극 중에서 높은 빈도로 선택된 문항들은 가족이나 친척들과 갈등이 있거나 다투는 경우(53%), 잔치, 초상, 계 등 사회적인 모임이 있을 경우(52%), 하는 일이 잘 되지 않을 때(49%), 직장에서 혹은 친구와 갈등이 있거나 다투는 경우(42%)등이었다. 4) 환자의 나이와 신체 상태의 알콜연관자극 간에는 유의한 정상관관계가 있었고, 문제 음주로 인해 처음 정신과에 입원한 나이와 신체 상태의 알콜연관자극 간에도 유의한 정상관관계가 있었으며, 교육 수준과 신체 상태의 알콜연관자극 사이에는 유의한 역상관관계가 있었다. 그리고 입원횟수와 부정적 기분 상태의 알콜연관자극 사이에는 유의한 정상관관계가 있었다. 그러나 첫 음주 시작 나이, 문제 음주 시작 나이, 문제 음주 지속 기간, 최대 단주 기간, 병원 치료 후 평균 단주 기간, 개인의 특성 불안과 우울 점수 등과 알콜연관 자극의 유형 간에는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 또한 직업 유무별, 사회경제 상태별, 음주가족력 유무별, 결혼 상태별, 종교별 및 음주 양상별로 본 알콜연관자극의 유형별 선택 문항 수에 있어서도 통계적으로 의미있는 차이는 없었다. Conditioned stimuli provoking alcohlol craving in the alcoholics were surveyed in 110 hospitalized male patients with the diagnosis of alcohol dependence according to DSM-IV who had had 3 weeks or more of successful periods of alcohol abstinence after the onset of alcohol dependence. A preliminary study of preparing a list of 50 alcohol related cues(ARCs) was performed by collecting ARCs from 50 alcoholic patients, choosing the more frequent stimuli and rearranging those into 25 internal and 25 external ARCs. And then, each of the 110 subjects was asked to choose all the ARCs which provoked alcohol craving in the past to survey the frequency of the ARCs and their relevance with regards to a number of variables such as certain demographic data, alcohol history and anxiety and depression. The results were as follows ; 1) The ARCs were divided into internal and external ARCs ; the internal ARCs were categorized into positive affects, negative affects and somatic conditions and the external ARCs into pleasant situations, unpleasant situations, alcohlol-related situations and other situations. 2) Total mean number of ARCs per person was 14.1±8.6, that of internal ARCs being 7.5±4.8 and that of external ARSc being 6.5±4.4. All the subjects chose at least one of the internal ARCs and 99.1% chose one or more external ARCs. ARCs of negative affects and unpleasant situations were chosen by 97.3% and 88.2% of the subjects respectively, whereas, those of positive affects and pleasant situations were chosen by 42.7% and 71.8% respectively, showing unexpectedly high frequency. ARCs pertaining to somatic conditions were chosen by 68.2% of the subjects, those of alcohol-related situations were chosen by 68.2% and those of other situations by 49.1%. 3) Frequently chosen items of internal ARCs were when I was angry (71%),' when I was lonely'(47%), 'when I was distressed'(45%), 'when I was hungry'(45%) and 'when I had trouble sleeping' (45%). Those of external ARCs were 'when I had an argument or conflict with a relative' (53%), 'when I was at a social meeting such as party or funeral ceremony'(52%), when the things were not going to work out' (49%), 'when I met a friend whom I liked'(49%) and 'when I had an argument with a friend or people at work' (42%). 4) Positive correlations were seen between age and ARCs of somatic conditions and between age at the first psychiatric hospitalization and ARCs of somatic conditions. However, negative correlation was found between educational level and ARCs of somatic conditions. Number of psychiatric hospitalization was positively correlated with ARCs of negative affects. But there were no significant correlations in age at the first drink, age of onset of alcohol related problems, duration of alcohol related problem drinking, maximal length of abstinence, usual duration of abstinence after hospital treatment and score of trait anxiety and BDI. No significant difference was noted in the mean number of ARC subtypes between different groups divided by other demographic or clinical variables such as status of job, social class, family history of alcohol dependence, status of marriage, religion and drinking patterns.

주산기 백서에서 혈중 에스트로겐 농도와 공간 기억력과의 상관관계

박민성,박제민,신성현,한귀원,김명정,김성곤 大韓神經精神醫學會 2006 신경정신의학 Vol.45 No.5

Objectives : This study was designed to find possible effect of pregnancy and parturition on spatial memory, especially in relation to levels of estrogen during the third trimester and postpartal period in rats. Methods : 25 female Sprague Dawley rats were divided into pregnant group (N= 14) and control group (N= 11). Changes in spatial memory during 6 weeks including third trimester and postpartal period were measured using Morris water maze. Time to reach the platform in the maze was indicator of spatial memory. Serum estrogen level was measured on 1 week before delivery, postpartal day 1, and day 14. Results : Both groups showed gradual improvement in performance by trial days and weeks, but no significant difference was found between the two groups. However in the third trimester, pregnant group showed a trend of less achievement on 3 days of learning than control group. Serum estrogen levels did not differ significantly between groups over the 6 weeks of period. However there was positive correlation between serum estrogen level on postpartum day 1 and time to reach platform on postpartum week 2, and negative correlation between estrogen level on postpartum day 14 and latency to the platform on postpartum week 5. Conclusion : These results imply that changes in the serum estrogen level may have dual effects on the spatial learning in peripartal period. It is suggested that decline in cognitive function might occur either by failure of rapid decrease of estrogen, immediately after parturition, or retarded restoration of estrogen in later postpartal period.

The Korean Society of Gastroenterology& SLDDS 2051 : Slide Session ; K-MO-01 : GI Motility ; New Bolus Transit Parameter in High-Resolution Impedance Manometry: Correlation with Radionuclide Esophageal Transit Scintigraphy

Background: High-resolution Impedance Manometry (HRIM) is used to detect complete versus incomplete bolus transit. Three-Dimensional Volume of Inverted Impedance (VII) was developed to measure the remnant impedance volume between each swallow. However, its clinical usefulness and meaning were not fully evaluated. Radionuclide esophageal transit scintigraphy (RETS) has been used to determine bolus transit in esophageal motor disorders. Here we aimed to investigate the absolute measurement of bolus transit based on the 3-D volume of impedance and its clinical meaning by assessing its relationship with RETS. Methods: Thirty-one patients who underwent both HRIM and RETS were enrolled in this study. Twenty-nine of these patients were diagnosed with achalasia and two patients were normal. Each patient underwent HRIM using a catheter with 32 circumferential pressure and 16 impedance sensors. The impedance profi les were converted to ASCII fi les and analyzed with the MATLAB program. VII was plotted after transforming the data to a cubic spline interpolation followed by resampling the manometry position at 0.2-cm intervals. The VII between swallows was categorized into four different 5-second frames. RETS was performed by using 99mTc-DTPA, and remnant radionuclide in the lumen of esophageal body was measured at 1,5,10,15,and 20 minutes ofinterval after swallowing. Results: A total of 40 HRIM and RETS procedures were analyzed (nine patients with achalasia underwent both tests twice before and after treatment). The mean VII value of the later 15 second frames from each swallow showed a signifi cant positive correlation to the 20-minute RETS (r=0.31, P=0.04). Moreover, the mean VII value of the later 10-second frames also showed a signifi cant positive correlation to 20-minute RETS (r=0.32, P=0.04). Conclusions: The newly developed VII method may have a close relationship with the currently using RETS despite different protocols.

Kim, Jae-Jung,Hong, Young Mi,Yun, Sin Weon,Han, Myung Ki,Lee, Kyung-Yil,Song, Min Seob,Lee, Hyoung-Doo,Kim, Dong Soo,Sohn, Sejung,Ha, Kee-Soo,Hong, Soo-Jong,Kim, Kwi-Joo,Park, In-Sook,Jang, Gi Young,L Springer International] 2012 Pediatric cardiology Vol.33 No.4

<P>Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is the standard therapy for KD, but more than 10% of KD patients do not respond to IVIG and are at high risk for the development of coronary artery lesions (CALs). To identify clinical and genetic risk factors associated with CAL development and IVIG nonresponsiveness, this study analyzed the clinical data for 478 Korean KD patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that incomplete KD, IVIG nonresponse, fever duration of 7??days or longer, and the CC/AC genotypes of the rs7604693 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the PELI1 gene were significantly associated with the development of CALs, with odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 2.06 to 3.04. The risk of CAL formation was synergistically increased by the addition of individual risk factors, particularly the genetic variant in the PELI1 gene. Multivariate analysis also showed that a serum albumin level of 3.6??g/dl or lower was significantly associated with nonresponsiveness to IVIG [OR, 2.76; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.34-5.68; P??=??0.006]. Conclusively, incomplete KD, IVIG nonresponsiveness, long febrile days, and the rs7604693 genetic variant in the PELI1 gene are major risk factors for the development of CALs, whereas low serum albumin concentration is an independent risk factor for IVIG nonresponsiveness.</P>

Cilostazol inhibits insulin-stimulated expression of sterol regulatory binding protein-1c via inhibition of LXR and Sp1

Jung, Yun-A,Kim, Hee Kyoung,Bae, Kwi-Hyun,Seo, Hye-Young,Kim, Hye-Soon,Jang, Byoung Kuk,Jung, Gwon-Soo,Lee, In-Kyu,Kim, Mi-Kyung,Park, Keun-Gyu Nature Publishing Group 2014 Experimental and molecular medicine Vol.46 No.1

<P>Hepatic steatosis is common in obese individuals with hyperinsulinemia and is an important hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. Sterol regulatory binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) is a master regulator of lipogenic gene expression in the liver. Hyperinsulinemia induces transcription of SREBP-1c via activation of liver X receptor (LXR) and specificity protein 1 (Sp1). Cilostazol is an antiplatelet agent that prevents atherosclerosis and decreases serum triglyceride levels. However, little is known about the effects of cilostazol on hepatic lipogenesis. Here, we examined the role of cilostazol in the regulation of SREBP-1c transcription in the liver. The effects of cilostazol on the expression of SREBP-1c and its target genes in response to insulin or an LXR agonist (T0901317) were examined using real-time RT-PCR and western blot analysis on cultured hepatocytes. To investigate the effect of cilostazol on SREBP-1c at the transcriptional level, transient transfection reporter assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) were performed. Cilostazol inhibited insulin-induced and LXR-agonist-induced expression of SREBP-1c and its downstream targets, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase, in cultured hepatocytes. Cilostazol also inhibited activation of the SREBP-1c promoter by insulin, T0901317 and Sp1 in a luciferase reporter assay. EMSA analysis showed that cilostazol inhibits SREBP-1c expression by repressing the binding of LXR and Sp1 to the promoter region. These results indicate that cilostazol inhibits insulin-induced hepatic SREBP-1c expression via the inhibition of LXR and Sp1 activity and that cilostazol is a negative regulator of hepatic lipogenesis.</P>

Lactate dehydrogenase-A is indispensable for vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration

Kim, Ji-Hyun,Bae, Kwi-Hyun,Byun, Jun-Kyu,Lee, Sungwoo,Kim, Jung-Guk,Lee, In Kyu,Jung, Gwon-Soo,Lee, You Mie,Park, Keun-Gyu Academic Press 2017 Biochemical and biophysical research communication Vol. No.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Increased aerobic glycolysis is a key feature of cellular phenotypes including cancer and immune cells. However, the role of aerobic glycolysis in the atherogenic phenotype of VSMCs remains largely unknown. Here, we investigated the role of lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDHA), which is a key enzyme for glycolysis, in the proliferation and migration of VSMCs. Activation of primary rat VSMCs with fetal bovine serum (FBS) or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) increased their proliferation and migration, glycolytic activity, and expression of LDHA. Wound healing and transwell migration assays demonstrated that small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of LDHA and pharmacological inhibition of LDHA by oxamate both effectively inhibited VSMC proliferation and migration. Inhibition of LDHA activity by oxamate reduced PDGF-stimulated glucose uptake, lactate production, and ATP production. Taken together, this study shows that enhanced glycolysis in PDGF- or FBS-stimulated VSMCs plays an important role in their proliferation and migration and suggests that LDHA is a potential therapeutic target to prevent vessel lumen constriction during the course of atherosclerosis and restenosis.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> LDHA levels were upregulated in proliferative and migratory VSMCs. </LI> <LI> Inhibition of LDHA suppressed growth factor-stimulated VSMC proliferation/migration. </LI> <LI> Inhibition of LDHA reduced growth factor-stimulated glycolysis in VSMCs. </LI> <LI> Targeting LDHA has a potential to treat excessive VSMC proliferation and migration. </LI> </UL> </P>
