Background: The improved technique for cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) has resulted in the survival of many patients who experienced cardiac arrest. However, mortality in resuscitated patients is high, and the survival rate without brain damage is very low. Various neurological examination models, neuro-imaging techniques, electrophysiological procedures, and biochemical tests have been studied with respect to the detection of cerebral damage and outcome, but an early, reliable prediction of individual outcomes is still uncertain. Methods: We studied twenty patients who had been in a coma for more than 24 hours after CPR, Somatosensory evoked potentials(SEP) were measured within the first three days after CPR. Results: Of the twenty patients, seven patients(35%) had a good outcome, and thirteen patients(65%) had a bad outcome. Of the eleven patients with loss of the cortical evoked potential's N2O peak, all had a bad outcome. Conclusion: SEPs are of great benefit in prognostic evaluation after CPR.

본 논문에서는 접합부의 비선형을 고려한 공간 강뼈대 구조물의 고등해석과 최적설계를 수행하였다. 고등해석은 접합부의 비선형, 기하학적 비선형 및 재료적 비선형을 고려한다. 접합부의 비선형은 Kishi와 Chen이 제안한 3가지 매개변수를 가지는 파워모델을 사용하여 고려하였다. 기하학적 비선형은 안정함수를 사용하여 고려하였으며, 재료적 비선형은 CRC 접선 탄성계수와 포물선 함수를 사용함으로서 고려하였다. 최적화 기법으로는 Choi와 Kim이 제안한 직접탐색법을 사용하였다. 직접탐색법은 LRFD의 상관방정식으로 계산된 값중에서 최대값을 가지는 부재의 크기를 단계별로 증가시키는 방법이다. 목적함수는 구조물의 중량을 사용하였으며, 제약조건식은 구조시스템의 하중-저항능력, 처짐, 층간 수평변위 및 연성요구 조건을 고려하였다. 제안된 방법에 의한 설계결과를 LRFD방법과 비교하였다. Advanced analysis and optimal design of semi-rigid space steel frames were presented. The advanced analysis can predict the combined nonlinear effects of connection, geometry, and material on the behavior and strength of semi-rigid frames. The Kishi-Chen power model was used to describe the nonlinear behavior of semi-rigid connections. Geometric nonlinearity was determined using stability functions. Material nonlinearity was determined using the Column Research Council (CRC) tangent modulus and the parabolic function. The direct search method proposed by Choi and Kim was used as optimization technique. One by one, the member with the largest unit value evaluated using the LRFD interaction equation were placed adjacent to a larger member selected from the database. The objective function was assumed to be the weight of steel frame, while the constraint functions were load-carrying capacities, deflections, inter-story drifts, and the ductility requirements. The member sizes determined using the proposed method were compared to those derived from the conventional LRFD method.

Background: Breast cancer patients experience a variety of altered appearance - such as loss or disfigurement of breasts, discolored skin, and hair loss - which result in psychological distress that affect their quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the impact of socioeconomic status on the altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life among Korean breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at advocacy events held at 16 different hospitals in Korea. Subjects were eligible to participate if they were 18 years of age or older, had a histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer, had no evidence of recurrence or metastasis, and had no psychological problems at the time of the survey. Employment status, marital status, education, and income were assessed for patient socioeconomic status. Altered appearance distress was measured using the NCI's cancer treatment side effects scale; body image and quality of life were measured by the EORTC QLC-C30 and BR23. Means and standard deviations of each outcome were compared by socioeconomic status and multivariate linear regression models for evaluating the association between socioeconomic status and altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life. Results: A total of 126 breast cancer patients participated in the study; the mean age of participants was 47.7 (SD=8.4). Of the total, 83.2% were married, 85.6% received more than high school education, 35.2% were employed, and 41% had more than $3000 in monthly household income. About 46% had mastectomy, and over 30% were receiving either chemotherapy or radiation therapy at the time of the survey. With fully adjusted models, the employed patients had significantly higher altered appearance distress (1.80 vs 1.48; p<0.05) and poorer body image (36.63 vs 51.69; p<0.05) compared to the patients who were unemployed. Higher education (10.58, standard error (SE)=7.63) and family income (12.88, SE=5.08) was positively associated with better body image after adjusting for age, disease stage at diagnosis, current treatment status, and breast surgery type. Similarly, patients who were married and who had higher education had better quality of life were statistically significant in the multivariate models. Conclusions: Socioeconomic status is significantly associated with altered appearance distress, body image, and quality of life in Korean women with breast cancer. Patients who suffer from altered appearance distress or lower body image are much more likely to experience psychosocial, physical, and functional problems than women who do not, therefore health care providers should be aware of the changes and distresses that these breast cancer patients go through and provide specific information and psychosocial support to socioeconomically more vulnerable patients.

Background: A major pathway leading toward neuronal injury following ischemia-reperfusion of the brain involves elevation of extracellular glutamate and activation of glutamate receptors, with a subsequent increase in intracellular calcium, resulting in a generation of free radicals. Oxygen free radicals cause brain injury following resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Oxyradicals produce strand breakage in DNA, which triggers energy-consuming DNA repair mechanisms and activates the nuclear enzyme poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase(PARS). However, excessive PARS activation leads to energy depletion and exacerbation of neuronal damage in cerebral ischemia. Methods: We investigated the effect of a potent, free-radical scavenger, N-acetylcysteine(NAC), on hippocampal neuronal death in an asphyxial cardiac arrest model of rats. The effect of NAC on hippocampal neuronal death was studied in 32 rats which were subjected to asphyxial cardiac arrest for 7 minutes, followed by resuscitation. The animals were divided into four group(8 rats in each group) as follows: Group I was saline treated for 3 days, Group II was NAC treated for 3 days, Group III was saline treated for 6 days, and Group IV was NAC treated for 6 days. In the NAC-treated groups, NAC(150㎎/kg) was intravenously injected after return of spontaneous circulation. The coronal sections with hippocampus levels were stained with hematoxylin-eosin(H-E) and PARS antibodies at 3 and 6 days after survival. In addition, the levels of myeloperoxidase(MPO) and malondialdehyde(MDA) were determined in the brains of each group. Results: The results are as follows: 1. MPO & MDA levels were significantly lower in the NAC-treated groups, II and IV, than in the saline-treated groups, I and III. 2. The histologic damage score(HDS), as determined by H-E staining, was significantly lower in the NAC-treated groups, II and IV, than in the saline-treated groups, I and III. 3. In PARS immunohistochemical staining, the HDS was significantly lower in the NAC-treated groups, II and IV, than in the saline-treated groups, I and III. Conclusion·. These results suggest that a free-radical scavenger, N-acetylcysteine, may effectively prevent neuronal damages after reperfusion from asphyxial cardiac arrest in rats. Further studies will be required to examine both the mechanism of the action and the clinical application of NAC in patients with cardiac arrest.

This study attempted to assess the applicability of the hair-hardener considering hair elasticity and retention through analysis of changes in hair conditions after chemical treatment. For this, the following were analyzed: safety and stability of the hair-hardener, changes in hair thickness, amino acid, changes in surface color, hair surface using the SEM, changes in tensile strength, and wave efficiency by the frequency of shampooing. Then, the results found the following: The stability of the hair-hardener was confirmed because there were no changes in its physical properties and color at room temperature and constant temperature. In a clinical allergy test as well, a negative response was found in all 20 clinical trial participants, which confirms its safety. In terms of changes in hair thickness, hair was thicker in the group that used the hair hardener than in the control group. In comparison of amino acid, total amino acid, L-glutamic acid, and cysteine contents increased in the experimental group that used the hair hardener. In terms of changes in surface color, L* value was high in the experimental group. A* value, which represents the level of reddish color, was also high in the experimental group. In contrast, b* value, which reveals the level of yellow color, was low in the experimental group. In observation of hair surface using the SEM, hair cuticles were tidier in the experimental group than in the control group. In terms of tensile strength, the experimental group was greater than the control group. According to measurement of wave efficiency by the frequency of shampooing after a general perm and setting perm as well, wave formation was more efficient in the experimental group.

The Anti-cancer Effect of Oriental Medicine Chung-Ri-Ja-Gam-Tang in the Mouse with Metastatic Lung Cancer. Proceedings of International Symposium on East-West Medicine, Seoul. 231-243, 1999.-The oriental medicine Chung-Ri-Ja-Gam-Tang is an herbal medicine which has been used for pulmonary diseases and known as having immune stimulatory effects. It has been known effective in lung cancer. So we studied the effects and the mechanisms of this herbal medicine it the mouse with metastatic lung cancer. The metastatic lung cancer of the mouse was produced with melnoma cell line(B16BL/6).5×10□/mouse tumor cells were injected intravenously to the CDF1 mouse via tail vein. The mice were divided 4 groups. The first group was treated with 50mg/kg extract of Chung-Ri-Ja-Gam-Tang per oral for 10 days after cancer cell injection, second group treated with saline after cancer cell injection, the third group with medicine without cancer cell, and the last group with saline only. After 10 days treatments some of the mice were scarificed and the lung and spleen was removed. The survival duration, weight change, the number of metastatic cancer nodule of the lung, the NK cell activity, the capacity of cytokines(INF-γ,INF-α,IL-2) production and the proliferation activities of mouse lymphocytes were measured. The surival times of the group 1 mice were longer and the weight loss was less than the group 2 significantly. The number of the metastatic nodule of the lung were decresed in the group 1 than the group 2. The production of INF-γ,was increase in group 2 than group 3 and 4, IL-2 production was increased in group 1 than group 2,3,4 significantly. There was no difference in TNF- α production and proliferation activity of lymphocyte in each group. The NK cell activity was significantly increased in group 1 than group 2,3,4. We conclude that the Chung-Ri-Ja-Gam-Tang has the effect of increasing the NK cell activity of the CDF1 mouse with metastatic lung cancer(B16BL/6). And it is suggested that the increased production of the IL-2 is the mechanisms of enhanced NK cell activity.

연관성이론과 명령문의 의미해석

The aim of this paper is to introduce the utterance mtrepretation based on relevance theory, Sperber & Wilson's relevance theory is to develop Conversational Implicature which Grice(1975) introduced. They suggests that the urrterance interpretation should be based on inferance by assumption and context effects, that is, like ostensive-inference communication model and can be regulated by the Principle of Relevance. The linguistic form of an utterance generally underdetermines its interpretation. While many pragmatic theories appeal to complex sets of rules, maxims or conventions to explain how this linguistic underdeterminacy is contextually overcome, Sperber and Wilson claim that the principle of relevance is enough on its own to explain how linguistic form and background knowledge interact to determine verbal comprehension: in order to understand an utterance, it must have one and only one interpretation consistent with the fact that the speaker intended it to be relevant to the effort side. In this case, the interpretation is consistent with the principle of relevance, the meaning best consistent with the particular criterion of the principle. The speaker's task is to make sure that the interpretation she intends to convey is consistent with the principle. The hearer's task is to find the interpretation which is consistent with the principle of relevance, otherwise, he runs the risk of misunderstanding the utter or not understanding at all. They also analyse the meaning interpretation of the imperative, one of the non-declarative forms as descriptions of states of affairs in potential and desirable worlds The Relevance Theory is proposed as a theory of pragmatics that can more widely extends the range of the interpretation of all the utterances in the situation described than the tradtional pragmatic theories by the Principle of Relevance,

FSAN(Full Service Access Network) Gx has discussed the cost-effective way to deploy the ATM-PON(Passive Optical Network) system that is suitable for providing broadband services. A common broadband PON applicable to many operators is increasing the world-wide market for the product. The MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol controls ONUs' (Optical Network Unit) access to the shared capacity on the PON, this protocol is very important if TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) multiplexing is used to the upstream. In fact, there is a relatively large number of MAC proposals mentioning IEEE802.14. as a performance of protocol, for instance its channel throughput, packet delay, qualification of channel and complexity of MAC protocol. Therefore, this paper includes the contents which have analysis and performance of MAC protocol proposed in ATM PON environment with channel throughput and message delay. From the results, the compatible protocol is analyzed by the access method.
