<P><I>Background</I>. Primo vascular system is a new anatomical structure whose research results have reported the possibility of a new circulatory system similar to the blood vascular system and cells. Electrophysiology, which measures and analyzes bioelectrical signals tissues and cells, is an important research area for investigating the function of tissues and cells. The bioelectrical study of the primo vascular system has been reported by using modern techniques since the early 1960s by Bonghan Kim. This paper reviews the research result of the electrophysiological study of the primo vascular system for the discussion of the circulatory function. We hope it would help to study the electrophysiology of the primo vascular system for researchers. This paper will use the following exchangeable expressions: Kyungrak system = Bonghan system = Bonghan circulatory system = primo vascular system = primo system; Bonghan corpuscle = primo node; Bonghan duct = primo vessel. We think that objective descriptions of reviewed papers are more important than unified expressions when citing the papers. That said, this paper will unify the expressions of the primo vascular system.</P>

목적: 통상적인 복강경기구만을 사용한 단일공법 복강경하 질식자궁절제술을 다공법 복강경하 질식자궁절제술과 비교하여 안전성 및 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 연구 방법: 2007년 4월부터 2009년 11월까지 인천성모병원에서 자궁근종 또는 자궁샘근증의 질환으로 단일공법 복강경하 질식 자궁절제술을 시행받은 환자 110명과 다공법 복강경하 질식자궁절제술을 시행받은 환자 110명, 총 220명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 우리는 모든 수술에서 통상적으로 사용되는 구부러지지 않는 일직선의 복강경기구를 사용하였다. 또한 단일공법 및 다공법 복강경하 질식자궁절제술 둘 다에서 수술자 (Kim, YW)의 이름을 따서 명명한 새로운 질단부 봉합 방법인 김씨 질구개 현수법 (Kim`s Vaginal Vault Suspension Method)을 사용하였다. 결과: 환자 나이, 수술 시간, 자궁의 무게, 혈색소 수치의 변화, 수혈 빈도, 수술 후 발열에서 두 군 간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 환자들의 평균 나이는 46.7±7.0세(단일공법)와 45.5±6.3세(다공법)이었다. 평균 수술 시간은 87.2±21.0분(단일공법)과 83.3±20.3분(다공법), 평균 자궁의 무게는 261.4±139.7 g(단일공법)과 257.8±132.9 g(다공법), 평균 혈색소 수치의 변화는 1.1±0.7 g/dL(단일공법)와 1.2±0.6 g/dL(다공법)이었다. 두 군 모두에서 수술 중 장 또는 요로의 손상은 없었다. 두 군 모두에서 각각 한 건의 개복수술로의 전환이 있었다. 단일공법을 시행한 군에서 입원 기간이 유의하게 짧았다(2.6±0.6일 [단일공법], 3.3±0.7일 [다공법], P<0.05). 결론: 통상적으로 사용하는 구부러지지 않는 일직선의 복강경기구를 이용한 단일공법 복강경하 질식자궁절제술은 다공법 복강경하 질식자궁절제술에 대한 안전하고 유용한 대체 수술이 될 수 있다. Objective: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-port access laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (SPA-LAVH) using conventional laparoscopic instruments compared to multi-port access laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (MPA-LAVH). Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 220 patients with uterine leiomyoma or adenomyosis who underwent 110 SPA-LAVH and 110 MPA-LAVH in Incheon St. Mary`s Hospital between April 2007 and November 2009. We performed SPA-LAVH with conventional rigid straight laparoscopic instruments in all cases. We also performed a new vaginal cuff closure method, Kim`s Vaginal Vault Suspension Method, named after the operator (Kim, YW) in both SPA-LAVH and MPA-LAVH. Results: There was no significant difference in patients` age, operating time, uterine weight, hemoglobin change, frequency of blood transfusion, and incidence of postoperative fever between the two groups. The patients` mean age was 46.1±7.0 years (SPA-LAVH) and 45.5±6.3 years (MPA-LAVH). The mean operating time was 87.2±21.0 minutes (SPA-LAVH) and 83.3±20.3 minutes (MPA-LAVH). The mean uterine weight was 261.4±139.7 g (SPA-LAVH) and 257.8±132.9 g (MPA-LAVH). The mean hemoglobin change was 1.1±0.7 g/dL (SPA-LAVH) and 1.2±0.6 g/dL (MPA-LAVH). Neither bowel injury nor urinary tract injury occurred during the operation in the two groups. One of the SPA-LAVH and one of the MPA-LAVH cases were converted to abdominal total hysterectomy. The mean hospital stay time was shorter with SPA-LAVH (2.6±0.6 days [SPA-LAVH] and 3.3±0.7 days [MPA-LAVH], P<0.05). Conclusion: SPA-LAVH using conventional rigid straight laparoscopic instruments can be offered as a safe and feasible alternative to MPA-LAVH.

Eung Jun Kim,Jae Sung Lee,Dong Kyue Kim 한국멀티미디어학회 2009 한국멀티미디어학회 국제학술대회 Vol.2009 No.-

The aspect of warfare goes toward to Network Centric Warfare (NCW). To cope with this aspect, the current SPIDER systems will be substituted with TICN system efficiently coping with variable battlefield situation. However, information and data transmitted in this network are vulnerable to attacks such as hacking. So, information assurance must be come true with TICN together. The information assurance is a wider concept than the existing concept of information security. The information assurance provides the services of rehabilitation and advance confrontation about infiltration as well as attack detections. In this paper, we research the information assurance for the TICN and propose information assurance model which can be applied to the TICN equipment.

Kim, Gyeong-Hun,Kim, Jong-Yul,Jeon, Jin-Hong,Kim, Seul-Ki,Kim, Eung-Sang,Lee, Ju-Han,Park, Minwon,Yu, In-Keun The Korean Institute of Electrical Engineers 2014 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.9 No.5

A hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) method for a wind farm controller using a real time digital simulator (RTDS) is presented, and performance of the wind farm controller is analyzed. A 100 MW wind farm which includes 5 MW wind power generation systems (WPGS) is modeled and analyzed in RSCAD/RTDS. The wind farm controller is implemented by using a computer, which is connected to the RTDS through transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP). The HILS results show the active power and power factor of the wind farm, which are controlled by the wind farm controller. The proposed HILS method in this paper can be effectively utilized to validate and test a wind farm controller under the environment in practice without a real wind farm.

Kim, Byung-ki,Choi, Sung-sik,Wang, Yong-peel,Kim, Eung-sang,Rho, Dae-seok The Korean Institute of Electrical Engineers 2015 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.10 No.3

This paper deals with the modified modeling of PV system based on the PSCAD/EMTDC and optimal control method of customer voltages in real distribution system interconnected with the photovoltaic (PV) systems. In order to analyze voltage variation characteristics, the specific modeling of PV system which contains the theory of d-q transformation, current-control algorithm and sinusoidal PWM method is being required. However, the conventional modeling of PV system can only perform the modeling of small-scale active power of less than 60 [kW]. Therefore, this paper presents a modified modeling that can perform the large-scale active power of more than 1 [MW]. And also, this paper proposes the optimal operation method of step voltage regulator (SVR) in order to solve the voltage variation problem when the PV systems are interconnected with the distribution feeders. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that this paper is effective tool for voltage analysis in distribution system with PV systems.

Kim, Jun-Hyeok,Lee, Soon-Jeong,Kim, Eung-Sang,Kim, Seul-Ki,Kim, Chul-Hwan,Prikler, Laszlo The Korean Institute of Electrical Engineers 2014 Journal of Electrical Engineering & Technology Vol.9 No.1

As environmentally friendly energy takes center stage, interests for Electric Vehicles/Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (EVs/PHEVs) are getting increase. With this trend, there is no doubt EVs will take large portion to penetrations of total cars. Therefore, accurate EV modeling is required. Battery is one of the main components with the power system view of aspect. Hence, in this paper, reviews and discussions of some types of batteries for EV are contained by considering energy density and weight of the batteries. In addition, simulations of Li-Ion battery are accomplished with various variables such as temperature, capacity fading and charge/discharge current. It is confirmed that temperature is the main factor of capacity fading. Validation of the modeled battery is also conducted by comparing it with commercialized battery.

Calcium Mobilization Inhibits Lipid Accumulation During the Late Adipogenesis via Suppression of PPARγ and LXRα Signalings

Kim, Seung-Jin,Choi, Ho-Jung,Jung, Chung-Hwan,Park, Sung-Soo,Cho, Seung-Rye,Oh, Se-Jong,Kim, Eung-Seok Korean Society for Food Science of Animal Resource 2010 한국축산식품학회지 Vol.30 No.5

Calcium plays a role as a signaling molecule in various cellular events. It has been reported that calcium suppresses adipocyte differentiation only in the early phase of adipogenesis. Herein, we demonstrate that treatment of A23187, a mobilizer of intracellular calcium, on day 4 post adipocyte differentiation could still reduce lipid accumulation in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells for 48 h. In addition, luciferase reporter gene and RT-Q-PCR assays demonstrate that A23187 can selectively inhibit transcriptional activities and expression of PPAR$\gamma$ and LXR$\alpha$, suggesting that A23187 may reduce lipid accumulation in the late phase of adipogenesis via downregulation of PPAR$\gamma$ and LXR$\alpha$ expression and transactivation. Moreover, inhibition of HDAC activity by trichostatin A (TSA) partially blocked A23187-mediated downregulation of transcriptional activities of PPAR$\gamma$ and LXR$\alpha$. Together, our data demonstrate that calcium mobilization inhibits expression and transcriptional activities of PPAR$\gamma$ and LXR$\alpha$, resulting in reduced lipid accumulation in differentiating adipocytes, and thus, mobilization of intracellular calcium in adipocytes may serve as a new preventive and therapeutic approach for obesity.

Sang Ho Yoon,Eung-Ho Cho,Sang Bum Kim,Sun-Hoo Park 한국간담췌외과학회 2011 한국간담췌외과학회지 Vol.15 No.2

Purpose: In Korea, there are few reports regarding the infiltration of fat tissue in pancreatic parenchyma in surgically resected organs. It is necessary to ascertain the correlation between the presence of fat tissue in the resection margin of the pancreas and the surgery outcome. Methods: Fifty four patients who underwent pancreatic resection from Jan. 2007 to Nov. 2008 were enrolled in this study. Pathologic examination was performed to determine the presence of fat tissue in resected pancreatic parenchyma. Statistical correlation between the presence of fat tissue with clinical parameters and postoperative complication rates was analyzed. Results: Among the specimens of all fifty four patients, fat tissue was found in 32 specimens of patients (59.3%). Female gender and patients whose body mass index exceeded 24 kg/m2 were statistically correlated with the presence of the fat tissue in pancreatic parenchyma. There was no statistical relationship between infiltration of fat tissue with postoperative complications. Conclusion: This study may serve as the base data for study in radiological imaging in detecting pancreatic tissue. A further larger scaled study is needed to validate the result of this study.
