The effects of temperature on the structural behavior of polar class vessels have been experimentally and numerically investigated. Experiments were carried out on single frame structures made of steel material, DH36, which is used for outer shell of the vessels making transit through the polar region. A knife edge type striker was dropped down onto single frame structures. The temperatures of the single frames were set to $-30^{\circ}C$, $-50^{\circ}C$ and room temperature. The deflection around the mid-point of the single frame was measured and numerically simulated using finite element model. Strain rate effect on the structural behavior has been investigated and turned out that the strain rate effect can be neglected. From the results of the experiment and numerical analyses, it has been noticed that the permanent deflection at lower temperature was reduced due to a temperature hardening of material as expected.

Giant cell tumor is the second most common benign tumor of the bone. But, the incidence in the ribs is rare. Clinical features of giant cell tumor may vary markedly from latent to very aggressive. Recently, we experienced clinically aggressive form of giant cell tumor in the right 2nd rib and report this case with reviewing the articles of giant cell tumor.

Chest wall hamartoma Is a very rare disease. The female infant was suffered from frequent upper respiratory infection. The chest AP revealed destruction of the ribs and widening of the intercostal space Chest CT demonstrated well-defined solid and cystic extrapleural mass. Chest M Rl revealed high signal and low signal intensities In the mass. In December, 1995, she underwent excision of the mass with partial resection of the ribs and ch st wall reconstruction with thick Cortex patch. The chest wall hamartoma was confirmed with histopathological examination. The postop course was smooth and uneventful.

In this study, an optimization method to design the hull structure of the surface effect ships with twin hulls is proposed for the purpose of minimization of weight based on the regulations of DnV class, and computer programs following the method are developed. The method uses simple formulas as to bending and buckling strength of beams and plates to design local structures, and considers the effect of interaction between longitudinal girders and transverse web frames by grillage analysis and calculates torsional strength of the cross structure by the simplified method. Global optimization of the midship section is attained by integration of optimized substructures. According to optimized results by applying the method to the designed ship, reduction of 20 percent of hull weight can be shown, and optimum transverse frame space can be obtained.

The purpose of this study was to find out the body shape characteristics of each Sasang constitution typology. The constitution type of the subjects was determined by Sasang Constitution Analysis Tool(SCAT) and a Sasang specialist. The body circumference of the subjects and their respective proportions were analyzed. Concordance rates between SCAT and the specialist were 33.0% and 41.5% for men and women, respectively, and Soyangin had the lowest concordance rate. Forehead/neck, chest/iliac, rib/iliac, and rib/curvature circumference ratios of female subjects showed the same results in both SCAT and the specialist. In determining the constitution type, it was confirmed that the ratio between specific circumferences can be a more meaningful criterion than the circumference.

골 신티 그라피는 섬유성 골 이형성증의 초기 병소와 다골성 형 섬유성 골 이형성증의 진단에 예민한 검사 방법이나, 양성 또는 악성 골 병변과의 감별진단에 어려움이 있었다. 이에 저자들은 조직학적으로 확진된 섬유성 골 이형성증 환자 17명에서 (단골성 형 12명, 다골성 형 : 5명) $^{99m}Tc-MDP$ (20 mCi 또는 7,400 MBq) 주사후 $2\sim4$시간에 전면, 후면 전신상과 부분상을 얻은 30부위 병소를 X선 사진과 비교분석 하였으며 CT, MRI 영상과 병리조직 소견을 얻었다. 병소 침습 부위별로는 대퇴골-10예, 경골-4, 요골-2, 늑골-2, 척추골-2, 후두골-2, 장골-2, 두정골-1, 하악골-1, 접형골-1, 견갑골-1, 쇄골-1, 척골-1예 였으며 5명의 다골성 형에서는 :우 대퇴골과 우 비골 : 양측 말단 대퇴골 :좌 경골과 좌 대퇴골 :우 요골과 우 장골 양측 대퇴골, 양측 경골, 접형골, 두정골, 척추골, 늑골과 장골이었다. 골 신티 그라피 소견상 30예중 28예에서(28/30, 93.3%) 방사능 섭취 증가를 보였으며 2예에서(2/30, 6.7%)는 정상 방사능 섭취 소견을 보였으나 각각은 X선상 불투명 유리상과 골흡수 병변을 보였다. 하악골의 골 3상 스캔상 병소에 현저한 혈류 증가가 관찰되었다. X선 소견상 30예중 11예에서 (l1/30, 36.7%) 불투명 유리상의 병변을, 골 변형을 동반한 1예를 포함한 18예에서는 (18/30, 60.0%) 골흡수 병변을 보였으며, 1예의 늑골 병변은 정상소견을 보였다(1/30, 3.3%). 이상에서 골 신티 그라피 만으로 섬유성 골 이형성증을 진단하는데는 주의를 요하나 골 대사의 동적 측면인 혈류와 골 재형성 양상 특히, 초기 병변과 단골성 형 침습에서 다골성 형을 진단하는데 필수적이며 결론적으로 골 신티 그라피와 X선 촬영등은 섬유성 골 이형성증 진단에 상호보완적인 검사 방법으로 사료된다.

A clinical evaluation was performed on 305 cases of chest trauma experienced at the department of the Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Dae Jeon Eul Ji Hospital, during the period from March 1991 to November 1994. Age distribution was from 4 to 85 years, the mosts common age groups were 4-th, 5th and 6th decades. The ratio of male to female was 229:76(3:1), the ratio showed male predominance, the most common cause of trauma was traffic accidents in nonpenetrating trauma and stab wounds in penetrating trauma. Hemothorax, pneumothorax, and hemopneumothorax were observed in 159 cases (52.1 %) of total cases, Rib fracture was observed in 236 cases (77.4%) of total cases, location distribution was right : left : Both (102 : 142 : 45), with left predominant, rib fracture commonly involved from the 3th to 8th rib. Lag period from accident to admission was 155 cases (50.8%) under 6hr The principles of therapy for early complications of chest trauma were rapid r expansion of the lungs by thoracentesis 5 cases(1.6%) and closed thoracostomy 1-42 cases(46.6%), but open thoracotomy had to be done on 17 cases (5.6%) because of massive bleeding 13 cases or ruptured diaphragm, foreign body. Conservative nonoperative treatment was 140 cases (45.9%). Overall mortality rate was Bcases (2.6%) and common causes of the death were respiratory insufficiency and shock.

Background: Nuss procedure is a minimally invasive technique for correcting the pectus excavatum. But there are some limitations of correcting the complex anomaly or grown-up patients. Material and Method: we retrospectively reviewed 135 consecutive patients who underwent repair of pectus excavatum by the Nuss procedure and its modifications between November 1999 and December 2004. We analyzed the computed tomography, age on operation, operative technique, and complications. Result: We operated 135 patients of pectus excavatum during 62 months. Total number of operations about Nuss procedure is 216, including bar removal procedure of 64 cases, redo Nuss procedures of 47 cases. We modified the point of bar insertion to the hinge point, made a shoulder in the bar to prevent a displacement. And then we changed the fixation material from Vicryl to steel wire. If the patients are old, we retract the sternum during bar rotation and fixation. Until 2002, the number of redo Nuss operations were 17, complications were 23. but, after modifications, the number of redo Nuss operation were 0, complications were 2. Conclusion: This result indicates that our modifications of Nuss operation is effective, and could decrease the number of redo Nuss operation and complications.
