Isolated stress fracture of the first rib is rare, and repeated muscular pulling and fatigue of bone is thought to be responsible for this fracture. The diagnosis can be made by taking a thorough history and performing chest roentgenography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Conservative treatment generally cures this condition. We report here on a case of exercise-induced isolated stress fracture of the first rib in a non-athlete college student and we review the related articles.

The flow characteristics of a circulating water channel which is appropriate for a flow measurement and visualization in the laboratory has been investigated by using a Laser Doppler Anemometer. In order to get a stable and uniform distribution of mean velocity at the test section, the surface flow accelerator is designed and used. The experimental results that the turbulent structure should be considered with the mean velocity for obtaining the reasonable uniformity at the test section.

천마 연소관 및 Bracket는 고강도 특수강의 일종인 Maraging steel C-250 Grade로서 유동성형공정 (flow forming process: F/F) 및 용접공정을 거쳐 시효경화후의 경도(HRC 48-52)가 높아 절삭가공 및 Tapping에 어려움이 있다고 판단되어 브라켓 밀링가공(Tapping포함)을 시효경화공정 이전에 완성하는 것으로 공정 FLOW를 설정하였으나, 시효경화 시 유동성형공정 잔류응력 및 재질특성에 의한 수축, 변형 등으로 도면상 요구된 품질(형상 및 위치공차) 만족이 미흡하였을 뿐만 아니라 오히려 전체 공정 수만 증가하였음. 따라서 연소관 및 Bracket 완성가공을 시효경화 후에 실시하는 것으로 공정 개선 하고자 시험 작업한 결과, 선삭, 밀링작업등 다른 기계가공 공정의 문제점은 대부분 해결할 수 있었으나, Tapping공정만은 해결할 수 없어서 진정한 공정개선을 기할 수 없었음. 그러나, 제품의 품질 및 생산성을 고려 시효경화 후 Tapping 공정실시 필요성이 강력히 대두되어 Maraging steel 재질특성에 적합한 공구 및 작업조건을 검토, 설정 시험작업 함으로써 공정개선을 이룰 수 있었음.

수축절정기에 0.2mm, 0.4mm 두께의 소구경 인조혈관의 내경3.2mm의 동맥에 문합한 단단문합 주위의 유동과 구조해석을 동시에 수행하였다. 유동해석 결과 속도분포 및 벽단전률은 타 연구결과와 매우 유사하며 이론해와 매우 유사함을 보였다. 유동에 의해서 문합부 주위에 작용하는 응력은 문합부에 집중되며 이는 수십만 pa에 달했다. 또한 인조혈관과 동맥에 작용하는 원주방향의 응력을 이론해와 비교한 결과 서로 유사함을 보였으며 두께가 얇은 인조혈관을 사용하는 경우 문합부의 compliance mismatch 는 개선되나 반대로 응력은 더 많이 받음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해서 유체에 의하여 혈관이 영향을 받는 심혈관계 현상을 연구하는데 있어서 이와 같은 유체-구조 상호작용을 고려하여 동시에 해결 하는 방법은 매우 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

본 논문은 근수축을 이용한 근육 작용의 운동학을 다룬다. 첫째, 근육 해부학이 미시적 관점의 운동학에 대하여 검토되었으며, 다음으로 거시적 관점의 근육 운동학이 작동 이론을 설명하기 위해 공식화 되었다. 그리고 작동 모델을 평가하기 위해 시뮬레이션 결과가 제시된다. 본 연구는 마이크로미터 거리에 따라 생물학적 분자 운동이 어떻게 거시적 운동으로 바뀌는지를 설명하고 있다. 마지막으로 근육 모델이 거시적/미시적 작동용으로 여러 가지 역학의 형태로 이용될 수 있다는 것을 보인다.

This study presents a process management method for the detection of casting defects during in high-pressure die casting based on machine learning. The model predicts the defects of the next cycle by extracting the features appearing over the previous cycles. For design of the gearbox, the proposed model detects shrinkage defects with data from three cycles in advance with 98.9% accuracy and 96.8% recall rates.

지난해 10월 경북 예천에서 고병원성 조류인플루엔자(AI)가 첫 발생한 이후 총 109건의 고병원성 AI가 발생했다. 매년 겨울에 AI가 발생했던 것과 비교하면 시기적으로 빠른 올해의 AI에 대해 전문가들은 그 위험도가 더 크다고 입을 모으고 있다. 특히 이른바 '패턴을 잃은' 이번 AI 양상을 두고 2017년부터 시작된 오리사육제한, 일명 휴지기 제도의 효과가 약해지고 있는 것 아니냐는 우려의 목소리도 높다. 때문에 AI 발생의 주범처럼 지목되는 오리농가들에 대해서도 오리 사육제한이 아닌 열악하고 낙후된 사육시설을 개선해야 한다는 주장이 더욱 힘을 얻고 있다. 한국오리협회를 중심으로 오리업계는 한 목소리로 오리사육시설 개선을 지속적으로 요구해 왔다. 그러나 현실적 여건에 부딪힌 오리농가들의 시설현대화 사업참여율은 한 자릿수에도 못 미칠 정도로 미미해 보다 현실적인 대책이 필요하다는 지적이 일고 있다. 이에 박덕흠 국회의원(국민의힘, 충북 보은·옥천·영동· 괴산) 주최, 한국오리협회·오리자조금관리위원회·농수축산신문 주관으로 지난해 12월 1일 국회의원회관 제1세미나실에서 '오리농가 AI 방역대책 이대로 괜찮은가' 국회 좌담회를 개최하고 각계의 전문가들이 보다 근본적인 AI 대책 마련을 위해 머리를 맞댔다. 이날 좌담회 내용을 지상중계 한다.

To assess the effect of noise on the blood pressure of workers, 70 weaving and 70 refining female workers in 15 to 24 years of ages were tested for the changes of blood pressure before and after exposure to the noise. The noise levels at work place were 99 dB (A) for weavers and 80 dB(A) for refiners. The mean age of refiners was 17,7 years and that of weavers was 18.6 years, and the difference in mean ages was statistically significant (p<0.05). The means of heights, weights and working durations were not significantly different between two groups. The mean systolic blood pressure of the weavers was 112.5mmHg before exposure to the noise and it was increased to 115.7mmHg after exposure to 99 dB(A) of noise for 30 minutes, and the mean diastolic blood pressure from 71.6mmHg to 74.1mmHg. These increments of blood pressure were statististically significant (p<0.05). The mean systolic blood pressure of the refiners was decreased from 108.9mmHg to 106.7mmHg after exposure to 80 dB(A) of noise for 30 minutes, and the mean diastolic blood pressure from 67.3mmHg to 67.1mmHg. These changes of blood pressure were not statistically significant. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure of the weavers before exposure to the noise were significantly higher than that of refiners (p<0.05). The difference of blood pressure between refiners and weavers was significantly associated with noises (p<0.05), and not ages and their interactions. The study results support the hypothesis that exposure to excessive noise increases the blood pressure of workers.

This study was performed to compare the effects of hydrocolloid(Duoderm$\circledR$, HC in this study) and hydrogel (Nu-Gel$\circledR$, HG in this study) occlusive dressing materials on degree of exudate, wound contraction, epithelialization, and healing of full-thickness skin wound in dogs. Three wounds measuring 2${\times}$2 cm in size were created bilaterally(6 wounds/dog) on the dorsolateral aspect of the trunk of 12 dogs. In each dog, the wounds were treated with HC, HG, and normal saline, respectively. For a 4 week period, the wounds were evaluated gross aspects and histopathological aspects. There were no statistically significant differences between treatment groups in percentage of wound contraction, percentage of epithelialization, and percentage of wound total healing during the first week. Significant differences were first detected on day 14. On day l4(P < 0.01) and 21 (P < 0.05), mean percentage of epithelialization of HG-treated wound was significantly greater than those in HC- and normal saline-treated wound. Mean percentage of wound contraction of HG-treated wound was significantly greater than that in HC- and control wounds on day 21(P< 0.05). On day 21, mean percentage of wound healing of HG-treated wound was significantly greater than that in HC- and control wounds(P < 0.02). On day 1, 4, and 7 after wound creation, although severe infiltration of PMN (polymorphonuclear leukocyte) cells in HC- and control wounds were observed in the subcutis and moderate infiltration of PMN cells in HG-treated wound were observed in the subcutis, we did not detect significant differences. On day 14 after wounding creation, in the wounds treated with HG dressing, epithelial cells were found over the surface, and edema further decreased in the tissue under the wounds, and the granulation tissue was replaced with collagen fibers. On day 21 after wound creation, in HG-treated wound compared with other experimental material-treated wounds, regenerated epidermis covered most of the wound surface, and the granulation tissue was more replaced with collagen fibers than that on day 14. Overall results indicated that the use of hydrogel dressing materials(Nu-Gel$\circledR$) as hydrocolloid dressing (Duoderm$\circledR$) materials and normal saline treatment on full-thickness skin wounds in dogs increased the rate of healing at repair stage.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of complications, the incidences of complications, and preoperative and postoperative risk factors affecting the incidence of the complication. Material and Method: Between August 1990 and August 1997 in Asan Medical Center, 42 patients(24 men and 18 women) underwent surgical resection for pulmonary aspergilloma. The mean age was 46.6${\pm}$11.5 years(range 29 to 69 years). Hemoptysis(90%) was the most common presentation. Pulmonary tuberculosis was the most common predisposing cause(81%). The associated diseases were bronchiectasis(n=11), active puolmonary tuberculosis(n=9), diabetes mellitus(n=8), lung carcinoid(n=1), and acute myeloblastic leukemia(n=1). Lobectomy was done in 32 cases(76%), segmentectomy or wedge resection in 4, pneumonectomy in 2, and lobectomy combined with segmentectomy in 4. Result: Operative mortality was 2%. The most common postoperative complication was persistent air leakage(n=6). The variables such as age, sex, pulmonary function test, amount and duration of hemoptysis, associated diseases(diabetes mellitus, active pulmonary tuberculosis), mode of preoperative management(steroid, antifungal agent, bronchial arterial embolization), and modes of operative procedures were statistically insignificant. The radiologic extent of infiltration to normal lung parenchyme was statistically significant(p=0.04). Conclusion: We conclude that the extent of the infiltration to normal lung parenchyme in preoperative radiologic studies should be carefully evaluated to reduce the postoperative complications in surgery for pulmonary aspergilloma.
