Purpose: Minimal invasive open thyroidectomy is one option for minimal invasive surgery. The population of planned unilateral lobectomy is on the rise in parallel to the increased incidence of confined papillary thyroid microcarcinomas in Korea. In contrast to other minimal invasive modalities, few studies have examined the surgical outcome of minimal invasive open thyroidectomy. This study compared the lateral minimal invasive open thyroid lobectomy with conventional surgery and endoscopic surgery in terms of the feasibility and safety. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 197 patients undergoing a thyroid lobectomy between January 2001 and December 2010. One hundred and three patients underwent a lateral minimal invasive open thyroid lobectomy, 42 patients underwent conventional surgery, and 44 patients underwent endoscopic surgery. Results: The hospitalization period with endoscopic surgery was 6.2 days, which was longer than the 5.3 days with a lateral minimal invasive open thyroid lobectomy (P=0.000). The surgical time was lower in those who underwent a lateral minimal invasive open thyroid lobectomy (88.2 minutes) than in those who underwent conventional surgery (107 minutes, P=0.000) or endoscopic surgery (124.1 minutes, P=0.000). In the patients with a diagnosis of malignancy, the mean number of retrieved LNs was similar in the three groups. Conclusion: A lateral minimal invasive open thyroid lobectomy offers advantages, such as a shorter surgical time and hospitalization period than others. This procedure can be a feasible alternative to the conventional or endoscopic approach in selected patients undergoing thyroid lobectomy.

모바일 유저인터페이스 개발을 위한 통합 플랫폼 4A DUOS 설계

강선미,Kang, Sunmee 한국전기전자학회 2013 전기전자학회논문지 Vol.17 No.2

Diverse operating systems and developed platforms of mobile devices are implemented by vendors exist. The software has to be developed by respective environment in designing the user interface of software. For the solution of the inconvenience, this paper proposes an integrated platform 4A DUOS for developing user interface independently. The proposed platform can use web language not dependent on various operating systems, and offer online access to API and component templates to provide the convenience of the user interface design. Also, the server with on board designed user interface implements the service to the user. Therefore, the users can design the independent user interface on various mobile devices by using only one source.

Purpose : Recently, clinical trials of steroid add-on therapy were reported with variable results in Kawasaki disease. We analyzed the clinical outcomes of patients at high risk of with Kawasaki disease(${\geq}4$ points of Harada score) treated by three commonly used different treatment regimens, with or without corticosteroids. Methods : Medical records of 96 children with Kawasaki disease treated with one of the threee regimens were reviewed retrospectively. Regimen 1 was aspirin(100 mg/kg/day) plus intravenous gamma globulin 2 g/kg single dose; regimen 2, aspirin(100 mg/kg/day) plus intravenous gamma globulin 1 g/kg single dose; regimen 3, regimen 2 plus prednisolone(2 mg/kg/day), followed by tapering two weeks and pulse therapy of methyl prednisolone performed in cases of retreatment. Also low dose aspirin was given in all three regimens for eight weeks after the acute phase. The cardiovascular and laboratory evaluations were performed on acute phase, immediate after acute phase, and subacute phase, eight weeks after treatment. Results : The frequency of coronary artery lesions and laboratory findings in the three different regimens were similar. The more rapid control of fever after treatment was noted in regimen 3. Furthermore the frequency of retreatment was decreased in regimen 3 compared to the other two regimens. Conclusion : Steroid add-on therapy showed some beneficial outcome compared to conventional treatment regimens. The role of steroid in the treatment of Kawasaki disease should be reassessed in systemic manner.

This paper attempts to examine the accent implementation and perception of noun phrases and compound nouns in English sentences, arguing that primary stress of noun phrase and compound noun is realized in relative prominence in intonation. The production test examines how the stress patterns of the noun phrases and compound nouns are realized in intonation of the English native speakers' utterances. The perception test investigates English and Korean listeners' comprehension of the intonation of the noun phrases and compound nouns. And the results of this experimental study show that speakers and listeners produce and perceive the primary stress as a relatively prominent accent even if in contrast of English listeners, Korean learners have difficulty in using the cue of pitch accent location and figuring out compound nouns and noun phrases.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a model enabling to predict the prosody of Korean text-to-speech synthesis using the CART and SKES algorithms. CART prefers a prediction variable in many instances. Therefore, a partition method by F-Test was applied to CART which had reduced the number of instances by grouping phonemes. Furthermore, the quality of the text-to-speech synthesis was evaluated after applying the SKES algorithm to the same data size. For the evaluation, MOS tests were performed on 30 men and women in their twenties. Results showed that the synthesized speech was improved in a more clear and natural manner by applying the SKES algorithm.

한국인 상급 학습자의 영어 비강세 모음의 특징 : 영어단어와 한국어에 외래어로 유입된 영어단어의 비교연구

The aim of this paper is to examine the phonetic realizations of English unstressed vowels produced by advanced Korean learners (KLs) of English compared with English native speakers (NSs) focusing on the comparative study of English words and English loanwords. The result shows that KLs are usually not native-like in producing the English unstressed vowel /ə/ and loanword orthography affects the way the KLs produce /ə/. The vowel quality of the unstressed vowels produced by the KLs is different from that of the NSs. In duration and pitch, KLs show significantly less difference between the stressed and unstressed vowels than do the NSs. The KLs usually have a high pitch in the stressed and the last syllable while the NSs usually produce peak F0 in the stressed syllable. When the KLs have a similar vowel quality with that of the NSs, they produce a shorter duration of the unstressed vowels. However, there is no correlation between the realization of the pitch and the vowel quality in KLs speech.

This experimental study is designed to investigate the acoustic cues produced by English native speakers in order to disambiguate the ambiguous sentences. This study also investigates whether Korean learners of English and English native speakers can perceive the appropriate meanings from the sentences produced with those acoustic cues. In the perception test, English native speakers successfully found out the proper meaning, utilizing the intonational cues, while Korean learners had difficulties in distinguishing the differences in meaning. The break interval was manipulated in order to see whether the pause duration facilitates or interferes with disambiguation. Though phrasing played an important role in disambiguation, the break interval itself did not have influence on it. The result, therefore, suggests that the tonal realization of phrasal accents and boundary tones seem to be more significant than the break interval in the perception of phrasing.

만성골수성백혈병은 필라델피아 염색체를 특징으로 하는 질환으로 선택적 억제제인 imatinib 치료로 만성기 때 혈액학적, 세포유전학적 관해를 얻을 수 있다. 저자들은 혈액학적, 세포유전학적 관해가 유지되는 동안에 과립구육종의 형태로 재발되는 특이한 경우를 경험하였고, imatinib 저항성 클론에 의한 것으로 생각하고 치료를 시행한 만성골수성백혈병 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. Isolated extramedullary relapse of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) after achieving complete remission with imatinib mesylate treatment is rare. Here we report a woman who developed a granulocytic sarcoma of the uterine adnexa after achieving complete remission with imatinib treatment. She diagnosed as chronic phase of CML at first and treated with imatinib as first line therapy. After 3 months of medication, complete hematologic and cytogenetic response were achieved, but relapsed with an isolated granulocytic sarcoma without hematologic relapse at 9 months. After increase of imtinib dosage to overcome resistance, partial response was obtained for 5 months. But bone marrow relapse was found as a blastic crisis and further treatment was impossible. Granulocytic sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis for a mass lesions presenting during imatinib treatment in CML, if there is no evidence of medullary disease.
