The purpose of the present study was to prove our empirical tendency of relatively high small intestinal diameter (SI) to fifth lumbar vertebral height (L5) ratio, which has been used in dogs. In this study, the ratio of SI/L5 was determined in small breed dogs weighing less than 5 kg. In addition, the effect of large volume of contrast media on the intestinal dilation was determined by performing upper gastrointestinal contrast study. Abdominal radiography and upper gastrointestinal series were performed in twelve healthy dogs weighing less than 5 kg. Small intestinal diameter (SI), fifth lumbar vertebral height (L5), and twelveth rib diameter were measured on abdominal radiographs. The range of values of SI/L5 is from 1.03 to 2.26 in plain radiography, and from 1.55 to 2.5 in contrast studies. Contrast agent significantly increased small intestinal diameter, and could be considered as mildly dilated intestinal model. Therefore, a value of 2.1 for SI/L5 is recommended as the upper limit of the normal range suggesting nonobstructive intestinal dilation.

Purpose. The aim of this study is to evaluate bone change around the implant in patients who underwent alveolar ridge preservation for implantation in the posterior teeth using radiographic data measuring changes of mesial, distal crestal bone level according to post-implantation, post-final prosthesis delivery and follow-up periods. Materials and methods. In total, 36 implants were placed in 32 patients. The mesial and distal crestal bone level of all the areas where alveolar ridge preservation was performed uses panoramic images taken post-implantation, post-final prosthesis delivery, and follow-up period each was measured and evaluated as a vertical value. The following factors were analyzed: associations between changes of crestal bone level and factors (e.g., age, sex, systemic diseases, dentist, implant location, tooth, bone type, membrane). The statistical analysis was performed using the mean, standard deviation and independent t-test, paired t-test (P < .05). Results. Analysis of crestal bone level differences between periods shows statistically significant differences (P < .05). There was no statistically significant difference when the changes of crestal bone level between post-implantation, post-final prosthesis delivery and follow-up periods were correlated with each factors. Conclusion. After alveolar ridge preservation, bone around the implant remained stable during the maintenance period without being affected by the patient and surgical factors, and alveolar ridge preservation is considered a clinically usable procedure.

Phosphate rock, phosphogypsum, and products in phosphate processing facility contain naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM). Therefore, they may give rise to enhanced radiation dose to workers due to inhalation of airborne particulates. Internal dose due to particle inhalation varies depending on particle properties. The objective of the present study was to characterize particle properties at the largest phosphate processing facility in Korea. A cascade impactor was employed to sample airborne particulates at various processing areas in the plant. The collected samples were used for characterization of particle size distribution, particle concentration in the air, and shape analysis. Aerodynamic diameters of airborne particulates ranged 0.03-100 ${\mu}m$ with the highest concentration at the particle size range of 4.7-5.8 ${\mu}m$ (geometric mean = 5.22 ${\mu}m$) or 5.8-9.0 ${\mu}m$ (geometric mean = 7.22 ${\mu}m$). Particle concentrations in the air varied widely by sampling area up to more than two orders of magnitude. The large variation resulted from the variability of mechanical operations and building ventilations. The airborne particulates appeared as spheroids or rough spherical fragments across all sampling areas and sampled size intervals. Average mass densities of phosphate rocks, phosphogypsums, and fertilizers were 3.1-3.4, 2.1-2.6, and 1.7 $gcm^{-3}$, respectively. Radioactivity concentration of uranium series in phosphate rocks varied with country of origin, ranging 94-866 $Bqkg^{-1}$. Among the uranium series, uranium was mostly concentrated on products, including phosphoric acid or fertilizers whereas radium was concentrated on byproducts or phosphogypsum. No significant radioactivity of $^{226}Ra$ and $^{228}Ra$ were found in fertilizer. However, $^{40}K$ concentration in fertilizer was up to 5,000 Bq $g^{-1}$. The database established in this study can be used for the accurate risk assessment of workers due to inhalation of airborne particles containing NORM. In addition, the findings can be used as a basic data for development of safety standard and guide and for practical radiation safety management at the facility.

Ionizing irradiation and E.O were used for sterilization of 5 different types of spices and mixed spices, and then each treated sample was evaluated using rank-order test to compare the sensory quality of the E.O fumigated sample to that of the irradiated sample. Preference of tested samples was in the descending order of control, the irradiated and the fumigated samples. According to the results of analysis of variance. 5 spices were significantly different at the 1% (P<0.01) or 5% (P<0.05), while mixed spices showed no significance. The results of Duncan's multiple range test showed that there was no significance difference between control and the irradiated sample, while the E.O fumigated sample was significantly different from control and irradiated samples. In conclusion, no adverse effects was found in quality of spices by ionizing radiation for sterilization, but the E.O fumigated sample showed deterioration of quality. The results were corresponded with the changes in major physicochemical components of each sample.

The amount of the radionuclide release to the environment during a LOCA and its radiological consequence are assessed, for a 900MWe French PWR which is similar to the KNU 9/10, according to RFS V.1.a, in which the source term has been revised more conservatively after the TMI accident. The assessed result shows that the whole body and thyroid doses at the site boundary(500m) for 2 hours after the release are 66 mrem and 13.5 rem, respectively, and are within the corresponding limits. It is expected, however, that the thyroid dose would exceed the limit if the fraction of the organic iodine is over 10% of the iodine inventory.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of routine liver ultrasonography on the basis of the scoring system according to the morphological parameters of liver ultrasound images and the histopathological results of liver biopsy. The morphological parameters of the liver through ultrasonography were divided into liver surface, liver edge and liver parenchyma. Pathologic results of liver biopsy were classified as mild fibrosis(F1), significant fibrosis(F2), severe fibrosis(F3), and cirrhosis(F4). In conclusion, routine ultrasound examination showed a sensitive predictive factor for fibrosis with mild fibrosis (F1) to severe fibrosis (F3) were liver edge>liver parenchyma>liver surface. However, the predictive factors for detecting cirrhosis (F4) were liver parenchyma>liver surface>liver edge. The use of three variable combinations rather than individual variables in routine ultrasonography may be useful in evaluating the degree and progress of liver fibrosis.

A 11 month-old Shihtzu was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Seoul National University. Clinical signs of this patient were lameness, shortening limb, angular deformity, rotation of foot, subluxaion of elbow joint and restricted range of movement of left forelimb. For the evaluation of the abnormalities of left forelimb, radiographic examination was carried out. Radiographic findings were characteristics of premature closure of distal ulna such as closure of distal ulna growth plate and cranial bowing of radius. With radiographic signs and physical examination, it was diagnosed as premature closure of growth plate of the left forelimb. After osteotomy of the radius and ostectomy of the ulna, radiographic evaluation of limb about angulation of elbow joint was performed every 2-3 weeks for 3 months. In case of premature closure of distal growth plate of ulna, radiography was very useful for diagnositic method of premature closure of distal ulna and monitoring of healing process.
