Objective: To explore clinical experience and propose new ideas for treating children diagnosed with orbital rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data for30 patients (16 males and 14 females, with a median age of 6.2 years) with primary orbital RMS who were enrolled in the Department of Eye Oncology and Pediatrics of our hospital from November 2004 to December 2012. International Rhabdomyosarcoma Organization Staging Standards indicated that among the 30 patients, 4 cases were in phase II, 20 were in phase III, and 6 were in phase IV. All patients underwent a multidisciplinary collaborative model of comprehensive treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, external radiotherapy, $^{125}I$ radioactive particle implantation, and autologous peripheral blood stem-cell transplantation). Results: Follow-up was conducted until March 2013, with a median follow-up time of 47.2 months (5 to 95 months), and 7 deaths occurred. The 2-year estimated survival rate reached 86.1%, the ${\geq}3$-year estimated survival rate was 77%, and the 5-year estimated survival rate was 70.6%. Conclusions: The multidisciplinary collaborative model can be a safe and effective approach to the comprehensive treatment of children with orbital RMS. It has clinical significance in improving the tumor remission rate.

TiO$_2$ nanoparticles were prepared by photochemical synthesis in the dry toluene. The shape and size of the amorphous TiO$_2$ nanoparticles were investigated by transmission electron microscope. The particle size was varied by the contents of the titanium (IV) isopropoxide in dry toluene. Especially networked TiO$_2$ particles were formed from 40% titanium (IV) isopropoxide solution. The optical absorption spectra, photoluminescence, and PL excitation spectra of TiO$_2$ in dry toluene were obtained. The were shifted to the short wavelength as the contents of TiO$_2$ were increased. PL excitation had the peak at the wavelength regions is which the absorption increased steeply.

Background: The thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) and Monte Carlo (MC) dosimetry are carried out to determine the occupational dose for personnel in the handling of ¹²⁵I seed sources. Materials and Methods: TLDs were placed in different layers of the Alderson-Rando phantom in the thyroid, lung and also eyes and skin surface. An ¹²⁵I seed source was prepared and its activity was measured using a dose calibrator and was placed at two distances of 20 and 50 cm from the Alderson-Rando phantom. In addition, the Monte Carlo N-Particle Extended (MCNPX 2.6.0) code and a computational phantom with a lattice-based geometry were used for organ dose calculations. Results and Discussion: The comparison of TLD and MC results in the thyroid and lung is consistent. Although the relative difference of MC dosimetry to TLD for the eyes was between 4% and 13% and for the skin between 19% and 23%, because of the existence of a higher uncertainty regarding TLD positioning in the eye and skin, these inaccuracies can also be acceptable. The isodose distribution was calculated in the cross-section of the head phantom when the ¹²⁵I seed was at two distances of 20 and 50 cm and it showed that the greatest dose reduction was observed for the eyes, skin, thyroid, and lungs, respectively. The results of MC dosimetry indicated that for near the head positions (distance of 20 cm) the absorbed dose rates for the eye lens, eye and skin were 78.1±2.3, 59.0±1.8, and 10.7±0.7 µGy/mCi/hr, respectively. Furthermore, we found that a 30 cm displacement for the ¹²⁵I seed reduced the eye and skin doses by at least 3- and 2-fold, respectively. Conclusion: Using a computational phantom to monitor the dose to the sensitive organs (eye and skin) for personnel involved in the handling of ¹²⁵I seed sources can be an accurate and inexpensive method.

The microstructure of highly aggregated colloidal dispersions was investigated by probing the rheological behavior of magnetic suspensions. The dynamic moduli as functions of frequency and strain amplitude are shown to closely resemble that of colloidal gels indicating the formation of network structure. The two types of characteristic critical strain amplitudes, γ_c and γ_y, were characterized in terms of the changing microstructure. The amplitude of γ_c indicates the transition from linear to nonlinear viscoelasticity and depends only on particle volume fraction not magnetic interactions. The study of scaling behavior suggests that it is related to the breakage of interfloc, i.e., floc-floc structure. However, yielding strain, γ_y, was found to be independent of particle volume fraction as well as magnetic interaction. It relates to extensive deformation resulting in yielding behavior. The scaling of elastic constant, G_e, implies that this yielding behavior and hence γ_y is due to the breakage of long-range interfloc interactions. Also, the deformation of flocs due to increase strain was indicated from the investigation of the fractal nature.

In the present work the influence of various physical parameters on the two-phase flow behavior in a self-heated porous medium has been studied using a numerical model, that is, the effects of heat generation rate, of porosity, of particle size, and of system pressure on the dryout process. To analyze the effect of these parameters, the variation of both liquid volumetric fraction (i.e., liquid saturation) and liquid axial velocity is evaluated at the steady state or at the onset of a first boiled-out region. The analysis of computational results indicate that a qualitative tendency exists between the parameters such as heat generation rate, porosity, effective particle diameter and the temporal development of the liquid volumetric fraction field up to dryout. In addition to these parameters, a variation of fluid properties such as phase density, phase viscosity due to a change of system pressure can be used for gaining insight into the nature of two-phase flow behavior up to dryout.

산업화는 도로축적퇴적물(road-deposited sediment, RDS)의 발생과 중금속 오염을 증가시켰고, 이는 비점오염을 통해 주변 수환경에 심각한 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. RDS의 오염과 입자 크기와의 관계는 오염관리를 위해 중요하나, 이에 대한 정보는 매우 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 시화호 및 주변 하천의 주요한 비점오염원으로 판단되는 시화산업단지 내 25개 정점에서 수거된 RDS 시료의 입도에 따른 중금속 분포특성과 환경영향에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 농집지수(I_geo)는 RDS가 주로 Zn, Cu, Pb, Sb에 의해 오염되었음을 보여주었고, 이들의 농도범위는 Zn, Cu, Pb, Sb이 각각 633-3605, 130-1483, 120-1997, 5.5-50 mg/kg이었다. 이는 국내외 다른 도시에 비해 매우 높은 수준이었다. 대부분의 중금속은 농도와 입도와의 높은 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 250 ㎛ 이하의 분율은 전체에 대한 질량 부하와, 오염 기여율이 각각 평균 78.6, 70.4%로 매우 지배적이었다. 강우 유출을 통해 인근 하천으로 유입될 확률이 높을 것으로 간주되는 125 ㎛ 이하의 입자 분율에 대한 오염평가 결과, 이는 저서생물에 독성을 나타낼 수 있는 매우 오염된 수준이었다. 입자 크기별로 나누어 RDS의 금속원소에 대한 주성분 및 요인분석을 실시한 결과, 250 ㎛ 보다 큰 RDS는 주변의 산업시설이, 250 ㎛ 보다 작은 RDS는 차량운행이 중금속오염의 주요 요인일 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과, 시화산업단지 내 RDS의 중금속오염 및 인근 수역으로의 비점오염의 효율적인 저감을 위해서는 125에서 250 ㎛ 이하의 미세한 RDS 입자의 제어가 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

ZnO 박막을 RF sputtering 법을 이용하여 제작한 후, 기판 온도에 따른 결정성, 표면 형상, c 축 배향성, 박막의 밀도 등을 조사하여 압전 소자로의 적용 가능성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 $Ar/O_2$ 혼합비 70/30, sputtering 파워 125 W, 공정 압력 8 mTorr, 기판 타겟간 거리 70 mm로 공정 변수를 고정시키고, 기판 온도를 상온에서 $400^{\circ}C$까지 변경하면서 ZnO 박막을 증착하였다. 기판온도가 $300^{\circ}C$ 일 때, (002) 피크의 상대 강도비 (I(002)/I(100))가 94%로 가장 크게 나타났으며, 이 때의 반가폭은 $0.571^{\circ}$ 이었다. SEM과 AFM을 통한 표면 형상은 $300^{\circ}C$ 일 때 균일한 입자형태를 띄면서 4.08 nm의 가장 우수한 표면 거칠기를 나타내었다. ZnO 박막의 밀도는 기판 온도가 상온에서부터 $300^{\circ}C$ 까지 상승함에 따라 증가하는 추세를 나타내었으며, 이 후 기판 온도가 $400^{\circ}C$로 증가하면 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

방사성핵종의 특성, 섭취형태 그리고 내부피폭 감시주기는 작업자의 방사성핵종 섭취량 및 내부피폭선량 평가 결과에 중요한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 방사성핵종이 흡입섭취 될 경우 섭취형태(급성 또는 만성) 및 내부피폭 감시주기에 따른 섭취량 평가 오차를 계산하였다. 섭취 핵종으로는 $^{125}$/I(Type F), $^{137}$Cs(Type F), $^{235}$ U(Type M, Type S)를 고려하였고, 방사능입자크기(AMAD)는 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$와 5 $\mu\textrm{m}$를 고려하였다. 섭취형태에 따라 평가된 섭취량의 상대오차는 방사성핵종, 흡수형태 그리고 내부피폭 감시주기에 따라 달랐으나, 입자크기에 의한 영향은 거의 없었다. 섭취형태 가정에 따른 섭취량 평가 오차를 10% 미만으로 줄일 수 있는 내부피폭 최대감시주기는 $^{125}$/I(Type F)에 대해 60일, $^{137}$Cs(Type F)에 대해 180일, $^{235}$ U(Type M)에 대해 90일, 그리고 $^{235}$ U(Type S)에 대해 360일로 나타났다.
