Background: Trichophyton (T.) verrucosum is a dermatophyte causing ringworm in cattle, distributed worldwide. It can be responsible for various inflammatory lesions of skin and scalp. In Korea, kerion celsi caused by T. verrucosum was first reported at 1986 in the southeast province of Korea. Since then, many patients infected with T. verrucosum have been reported in Young-nam province. There are few long-term studies about epidemiological characteristics of T. verrucosum. Objectives: To investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of T. verrucosum infections in Korea. Methods: A total of 224 patients were diagnosed as T. verrucosum infection by fungal culture from 1976 to 2015. The data were based on a retrospective survey of medical records. Results: The annual incidence of patients with T. verrucosum infection had been increasing since the report in 1986. The number of patients showed a peak in 1988. After 2000, the number of patients had been decreasing. Female to male ratio showed a 1.2-fold predominance of female infection. And more than 15-year-old group was 59.4% of total patients. T. verrucosum infection was most commonly seen in spring and was found predominantly in patients living in rural areas. Face was most frequently involved, followed by arms. Conclusion: These findings provide useful information for understanding of T. verrucosum infection and future dermatophytosis prospects.

Effect of Random Poisson's Ratio on the Response Variability of Composite Plates

Noh, Hyuk-Chun,Yoon, Young-Cheol Computational Structural Engineering Institute of 2010 한국전산구조공학회논문집 Vol.23 No.6

Together with the Young's modulus the Poisson's ratio is another independent material parameter that governs the behavior of a structural system. Therefore, it is meaningful to evaluate separately the influence of the parameter on the random response of the structural system. To this end, a formulation dealing with the spatial randomness in the Poisson's ratio in laminated composite plates is proposed. The main idea of the paper is to transform the fraction form of the constitutive coefficients into the expanded form in an ascending order of the stochastic field function. To validate the adequacy of the formulation, a square plate is chosen and the computation results are compared with those obtained using conventional Monte Carlo simulation. It is observed that the results show good agreement with those by the Monte Carlo simulation(MCS).

( In Hyuk Kwon ),( Dae Yeon Kim ),( Dong Won Lee ),( Tae Hyung Ryu ),( Jae Eun Choi ),( Soo Hong Seo ),( Young Chul Kye ),( Hyo Hyun Ahn ) 대한피부과학회 2016 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.68 No.1

Self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis is a very rare, self-limiting disease characterized by transient cutaneous lesions that affects the young. This disorder is characterized by rapid onset of asymptomatic papules and nodules on the face, periarticular regions, abdomen, and thigh. As implied by the name, the lesions spontaneously resolve over weeks to months. In contrast to mucinoses affecting adults, Self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis has not been associated with systemic disorders such as paraproteinemia, bone marrow plasmacytosis, or thyroid diseases. A 7-year-old male presented with erythematous papules, multiple subcutaneous nodules on trunk and both arms that began 6 days before. Aside from pruritus of lesions no other symptoms were manifested. Histopathology showed microabscess in epidermis, superficial perivascular lymphocytic infiltration, and mucin deposition in dermis On follow up visit, although new lesions were present, previous lesions were subsiding. In consideration of the clinicopathological features, the diagnosis of self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis was made. The patient is under close observation with no specific treatment. Herein, we report a rare case of self-healing juvenile cutaneous mucinosis. Knowledge of this entity may prevent unnecessary diagnostic testing and aggressive treatment in the pediatric population with this self-limited disease.

Radiofrequency ablation(RFA), as a form of minimally invasive therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma, has become an important treatment modality. Because of limitation of surgery, RFA has become standard therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma in some situations. But there are some complications of RFA such as bleeding, infection, hematoma, adjacent organ thermal damage including intestinal perforation, needle track seeding, and so on. There are few reports in the literature that systematically evaluate the incidence of needle tract seeding and its associated risk factors. And only 2 cases of needle tract seeding of hepatocellular carcinoma after RFA were reported in Korea. We report a case of needle tract seeding of hepatocellular carcinoma after RFA.

This study examined the effects of vocalization on upper extremity motion during carrying a cup in healthy people.Experiments were performed on 26 healthy young-adult subjects with right hand dominance. They had no medical history of neurological problems with their upper extremities. The task was to reach for and grasp a cup placed on a table in front of them and then place the cup on a makeshift cabinet shelf with and without vocalization. The vocalization consisted of saying Ah while carrying the cup. We used a 3-D analysis system called CMS-70P to analyze the motion at the peak of the angular velocity, the change in acceleration, and the time to the peak velocity of the elbow while recording the performance time. We found that vocalization increased the peak velocity (p<0.05), shortened the time to the peak velocity (p>0.05), and reduced the change in acceleration((p<0.05) of dominant arm (right side), while it lengthened the time to the peak velocity (p>0.05), and increased the change in acceleration(p>0.05) of non-dominat arm (left side). In summary, vocalization made the motion of the dominant arm positive.

Three-Dimensional Polymeric Mechanical Metamaterials Fabricated by Multibeam Interference Lithography with the Assistance of Plasma Etching

Kang, Da-Young,Lee, Wooju,Kim, Dongchoul,Moon, Jun Hyuk American Chemical Society 2016 Langmuir Vol.32 No.33

<P>The pentamode structure is a type of mechanical metamaterial that displays dramatically different bulk and shear modulus responses. In this study, a face-centered cubic (FCC) polymeric microstructure was fabricated by using SU8 negative type photoresists and multibeam interference exposure. Isotropic plasma etching is used to control the solid-volume fraction; for the first time, we obtained a structure with the minimum solid-volume fraction as low as 15% that still exhibited high structural integrity. Using this method, we reduced the width of atom-to-atom connections by up to 40 nm. We characterize the effect of the connection area on the anisotropy of the mechanical properties using simulations. Nanoindentation measurements were also conducted to evaluate the energy dissipation by varying the connection area. The Young's/shear modulus ratio is 5 times higher for the etched microstructure than that of the bulk SU8 materials. The use of interference lithography may enable the properties of microscale materials to be engineered for various applications, such as MEMS.</P>

In this work, effects of total draw ratio change on the mechanical properties of polyester fibers were studied. The process parameter was a total draw ratio and the draw ratios that were used ranged from 6.6 to 7.0. Tensile properties are determined from the tensile tester, and crystallite parameters from the density measurement and X-ray diffraction were discussed with the different total draw ratios. The tenacity, young's modulus and crystallinity were increased to 10.6 g/d, 123.2 g/d and 42.1%, respectively, with increase in the total draw ratio. The relations between total draw ratio and mechanical properties of high tenacity polyester fiber were discussed.

동일한 환자에서 조혈모세포이식 전후의 호중구감소 기간 중 감염양상에 대한 비교연구 : 중심정맥관 관련 패혈증을 중심으로 Based on Central Venous Catheter Related Septicemia

류재호,노규태,이영석,이영호,권혁찬,김재석,김효진,이영민,박혜원,박근희 대한조혈모세포이식학회 2002 대한조혈모세포이식학회지 Vol.7 No.1

연구배경: 동일한 환자를 대상으로 조혈모세포이식 전 일반 병실에서의 관해유도 항암제치료 및 강화요법으로 인한 호중구감소 기간의 감염양상과 고용량 항암제치료 후 무균실에서의 조혈모세포이식 시 호중구감소 기간의 감염양상을 중심정맥관 관련 패혈증을 중심으로 비교 연구함으로써 효율적인 감염관리지침을 마련하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 1월부터 2001년 7월까지 2년 7개월간 동아대학교병원 일반병실에서 악성혈액질환으로 항암제 치료를 받다가 조혈모세포이식을 시행받았던 22명을 대상으로 중심정맥관 관련 패혈증의 형태를 비교분석하였다. 결과: 대상 환자들의 일반병실과 무균실에서의 입원기간은 각각 32±13일, 33±19일, 호중구 감소기간은 15±12일, 17±18일, 호중구 감소기간의 발열 횟수는 14회, 14회로서 입원병실의 종류에 따른 차이는 없었다. 환자들의 중심정맥관 사용일수는 일반병실에서 29일(7~545일), 무균실에서 100.5일(25~606일)이었으며, 총 사용일수는 각각 1,515일, 3,250일로서 무균실에서의 중심정맥관 사용일수가 의미 있게 길었다(P=0.001). 중심정맥관 사용 일수에 대한 감염률은 각각 5.28/1,000일, 3.08/1,000일로서 일반병실에서 그 빈도가 높았으나 통계적 유의성은 보이지 않았다(P=0.141). 결론: 중심정맥관 삽입 후 일반병실에서 항암제 치료를 받던 환자가 조혈모세포이식을 위하여 무균실에 입원하는 경우, 중심정맥관을 교체하는 것이 감염관리를 위하여 바람직할 것으로 생각된다. Background: We compared the incidence of central venous catheter (CVC) related septicemia during neutropenic period in the same patient, which developed following chemotherapy for remission induction and consolidation, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and laboratory data of 22 patients with hematologic malignancies who received anticancer chemotherapy followed by HSCT at Dong-A University Hospital between January, 1999 and July, 2001. We investigated the duration of hospitalization, duration of neutropenic period, duration of catheterization, microbiologically documented organisms and incidence of CVC related septicemia. Results: The data in general ward (before HSCT) and laminar air flow room (after HSCT) were as follows: duration of hospitalization was 32±13 days and 33±19 days, duration of neutropenic period was 15±12 days and 17±18 days, median duration of catheterization was 29 days (7~545 days) and 100.5 days (25~606 days) (P=0.001), and incidence of CVC related septicemia was 5.28/1000 days and 3.08/1000 days, respectively. In the CVC related septicemia, the most common etiologic organism was coagulase negative staphylococcus. Conclusion: We suggest that the exchange of CVC before admission to laminar air flow room could decrease the incidence of CVC related septicemia in HSCT recipients.
