본 논문은 DVB-S2 기반 고속 LDPC 복호를 하기 위한 효율적인 CNU(Check Node Update) 계산방식에 대해 분석하였다. LDPC의 복호 속도는 CNU 계산 과정에 의존한다. 기존의 CNU 계산방식에서 LUT를 고려한 SP(Sum-Product)방식은 속도가 늦어지는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 SC-NMS(Self-Corrected Normalized Min-Sum) 방식을 제안한다. LUT 연산을 제거한 MS(Min-Sum) 방식에 정규화 계수 '${\alpha}$'를 곱하는 Normalized Min-Sum(NMS) 방식은 MP 방식보다 성능은 약간 감소하지만 critical path를 없애고 클럭 주기를 줄일 수 있어 구현에 있어서 고속화를 위한 효율적인 CNU 계산방식이다. 또한, 복호과정에서 반복 시 이전 반복에서의 엣지 값과 현재 반복에서의 엣지 값을 비교하여 부호가 바뀌면 신뢰성이 없음을 간주하여 현재 엣지에 "0"을 할당하는 SC(Self-Corrected) 방식을 연구하였다. SC-NMS 방식을 적용하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과, SC-NMS 방식은 SP 방식에 비해 0.1dB의 성능열화를 보였지만, 계산의 복잡도와 복호 속도를 고려했을 때, SC-NMS 방식이 최적의 CNU 계산 방식이라는 것을 확인하였다. In this paper, efficient CNU(Check Node Update) algorithms are analyzed for high speed LDPC decoding in DVB-S2 standard. In aspect to CNU methods, there are some kinds of CNU methods. Among of them, MP (Min Product) method is quite often used in LDPC decoding. However MP needs LUT (Look Up Table) that is critical path in LDPC decoding speed. A new SC-NMS (Self-Corrected Normalized Min-Sum) method is proposed in the paper. NMS needs only normalized scaling factor instead of LUT and compensates the overestimation of MP approximation. In addition, SC method is proposed. It gives a faster convergence toward a decoded codeword. If a message change its sign between two iterations, it is not reliable and to avoid to propagate noisy information, its module is set to 0. The performance of SC-NMS has a little degrade compare to MP by 0.1 dB, however considering computational complexity and decoding speed, SC-NMS algorithm is optimal method for CNU algorithm.

Objectives: Recently, [methyl-(11)^C]-(β-Hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium ([(11)^C]choline) has been discovered to be a very effective tracer in imaging various human tumors using positron emission tomography. Because of the short half-life of C-11, it is very difficult to use in a routine imaging procedure and needs a frequent synthesis of [(11)^]choline. This can be supplemented by the substitution of [(11)^Ccholine with [methyS-18]fluorocholine. Here, we would like to report cell uptake and biodistribution of [(11)^Ccholine and [(18)^F]fluorocholine as a basic study. Methods [(11)^C]Choline was prepared by the treatment of [(11)^C]CHzI with N,N-dimethylaminoethanol and [18F]fluorocholine was synthesized from reaction of CHzBr[18F]F with N,N-dimethylaminoethanol. The radiochemical purity was checked by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The biodistribution of [(11)^C]choline and [(18)^F]fluorocholine was determined in balb/c mouse at 5 min, 20 min, 40 min and 80 min. The cell uptake wa measured using glioma (9L) and colon adeocarcinoma (SW620). Results: The radiochemical purity was more than 98% after purification. In the liver, uptake did not change over time the uptake was 20/ID/g for [C]choline and 13%ID/g for [(18)^F]fluorocholine. In the kidney, radioactivity decreased over tirne the uptake was 15%1D/g for [(11)^Ccholine and 20%ID/g for [(18)^F]fluorocholine, 80 min post-injection. The cell uptake of [(11)^Ccholine was 4.93% for glioma (9L) and 18.69F for colon adenocarcinoma (SW620). For [(18)^F]fluorocholine, 1.77% for glioma (9L) and 2.77% for colon adenocarcinoma (SW620). Conclusion: [(11)^CCholine and [(18)^F]fluorocholine showed a different cell uptake tendency, depending on cancer cell line. (Korean J Nucl Med 200135:185-191)

<P>We fabricated carbon nanotube (CNT)- and nano-carbon (NC)-doped MgB2 using an in-situ process in order to improve the critical current density (J(c)) at high magnetic field. We then evaluated the effects of the doped carbon content on phase formation, microstructure, and critical properties. CNT had a diameter and length of 5-10 nm and 0.5-1 microm, respectively, and NC was a sphere with a diameter of 5-30 nm. The bulk MgB(2-x)C(x) samples with x = 0, 0.05, and 0.1 for NC and CNT were fabricated by pressing into pellets and then sintered at 900 degrees C for 30 min. NC was more effective than CNT for carbon doping at the B site in MgB2 and, therefore, the NC-doped MgB2 samples had a lower critical temperature (T(c)) of 35.0-34.7 K than that of the CNT-doped samples (36.4-36.1 K). In addition, the J(c)(B) behavior was improved when NC and CNT were doped due to doping effect. Microstructural observation suggested that the nano-sized and unreacted NC particles and the nanodomain MgB2 acted as effective flux pinning centers for the NC- and CNT-doped MgB2, respectively.</P>

Background : Recently, the lung cancer mortality rank first in Korea. The prognosis of lung cancer is not good enough with current treatments and multimodality treatments are required. So we are interested in the characteristics of lung cancer patients for better treatment. Methods : We searched lung cancer patients since 1994. Then we collected the data of primary lung cancer patients about the demographic features, histologic types and diagnotic methods. We divided the total period into 2 haves and specific analysis was tried. Results : 1) Total 850 patients were included. 633 (74.5%) were male and 217 (25.5%) were female. 2) The mean age was 65 ± 11 years old. and the peak age was 7th decades. 3) Squamous cell carcinoma(334/850, 39.3%) was slightly more prevalent than adenocarcinoma(302/850, 35.5%). Conclusion : From these results, we expected that older persons will be diagnosed to have lung cancer and adenocarcinoma will be more dominant histologic type with time.

The average indoor concentration of the library's TSP was 0.03 ng/m³. TAB in library and lounge in college of engineering showed higher concentrations in corridors than indoors. The correlation coefficient between TAB and humidity is 0.985, so it is judged that there is a significant need for humidity control in indoor air quality management to reduce the concentration of total suspended bacteria(p<0.01).

Background: High risks of fire alway exist for buildings in urban areas, especially those in downtown. Crowds, as well as more complex and larger structures, may cause more victims in the event of fire; therefore, emergency medical service plans must be established for such disastrous events. Methods: On the evening of October 30,1999, a fire broke out in downtown, Dong-Incheon Live-Hof restaurant; 56 people were killed and 76 were injured. Most of them were teenagers. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of the victims, Results: 1) Among the 56 dead, 54 died from smoke inhalation, one from extensive burns, and one from sepsis during treatment. 2) Among the 76 injured, 70 patients suffered from smoke inhalation, 53 from burns, and 9 from several types of trauma (sprains, contusions, lacerations, abrasions, fractures, etc.). 3) Later complications were laryngeal edema, pulmonary edema, scar contracture, and hypoxic brain damage, and so forth. 4) Post traumatic stress syndrome was unexpectedly more prevalent in mildly to moderately injured survivors and witnesses than in seriously injured survivors. Conclusion: Many complications exist after a fire. Some may be resolved in time, but others may result in permanent sequelae. Early rescue, early triage, and early management during transport by emergency medical service (EMS) personnel can result in fewer complications and a lower mortality rate. Therefore, we propose the establishment of plans to be followed during various major disasters.

<P>Quantitation of the trace amount of DNA by counting individual DNA molecules using a high-sensitivity flow cytometric setup has been developed and evaluated for the purpose of establishing a reference analytical procedure. Model DNA molecules, represented by lambda (λ) viral DNA (48 502 bp, double-stranded), were electro-focused to form a tightly bound flow stream on a detection point situated on the centre axis of fused silica tubing measuring 50 µm × 50 µm. The individual DNA particles that were stained with a fluorescent dye were detected individually with a high-sensitivity laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection system. Assuming all DNA particles in a given sample volume were detected and counted (‘exhaustive counting’), its molar concentration can be calculated without the need for calibration materials. The validity of the proposed measurement method was thoroughly examined and discussed.</P>

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Peiminine (PMN) is the main component derived from Fritillaria ussuriensis and is used in traditional medicine in East Asia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PMN on atopic dermatitis (AD) induced by a dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) in Balb/c mice. Inflammatory cytokine expression of PMN was investigated <I>in vitro</I>. Eosinophil infiltration and the thickness of DNCB-induced AD mouse skin were measured. The levels of IgE, IL-4, IL-6, IL-13, and TNF-α in the serum were measured by ELISA. The effects of PMN on the transcription level of MAPK and nuclear factor (NF)-κB were evaluated in mouse skin. In addition, the inhibitory effect of TNF-α, IL-1β, COX-2 and PGE2 were measured in RAW264.7 cells; TARC was investigated in HaCaT cells; and β-hexosaminidase was examined in RBL-2H3 cells. PMN decreased the number of eosinophils in the dermis as well as mast cells and decreased the thickness of the epidermis and dermis. The PMN High group had a significantly reduced serum level of IgE, IL-4, IL-13 and TNF-α. Moreover, P-ERK and P-P38 were inhibited in the PMN High group compared with the DNCB-treated group. PMN additionally attenuated the expression of inflammatory cytokines in cells, including RAW264.7, HaCaT and RBL-2H3 cells. Our results suggest that PMN could be a potential therapeutic candidate for the treatment of AD.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> PMN has an inhibitory effect on atopic dermatitis by decreasing inflammatory cytokines. </LI> <LI> PMN reduced the number of eosinophils and mast cells as well as MAPK and NF-κB signaling in tissues. </LI> <LI> PMN decreased COX-2 and prostaglandin E2 in RAW264.7. </LI> <LI> PMN inhibited TARC in human keratinocytes and reduced β-hexosaminidase in RBL-2H3 cells. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>
