This study building materials by relates to human hazard assessment in accordance with the combustion gas SEM, the flame-retardant foam FTIR and cone calorimeter to configure the Forest products of MDF and preservative treated Lauan two kinds of Retardant styrofoam, Styrofoam, Urethane foam and gypsum board four kinds of plastics material by the combustion gas were each analyzed. MDF was burned to the structure of the wood and the glue evenly mixed combustion area preservative treated Lauan, kept constant even in the form of high heat to penetrate deep into the wood flame retardant agents. Retardant styrofoam is due to feed my Dropped dissolved inorganic flame retardant without the fire-stick and confirmed that the weak form of gypsum board, but keep the column. In MDF ammonia ($NH_3$), lethal concentration (750 ppm) compared to 795 ppm, preservative treated Lauan is carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) that was greater than 2.5 times the lethal concentration (100,000 ppm) to 256,965 ppm, the lethal concentration (500 ppm) of hydrogen chloride (HCl). The Urethane greater than 697 ppm, 434 ppm also greatly exceeding the nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$) lethal concentration (250 ppm) in Retardant styrofoam and 398 ppm was released. It is confirmed that the human body is extremely harmful gas emitted from most of the materials to be utilized as basic data for evaluating the hazard-specific human future building material.

During a 2-year period microsurgical vasovasostomies using permanent silicone stent(c-shaped stent with 0.6mm slit, 5mm in length, 0.8mm in outer diameter, 0.5mm in inner diameter) were performed in 30 patients for vasectomy revesal. The stent-assisted vasovasostomy(SVV) was intended to decrease the technical demand, the time requirement and the occurrence of reobstruction due to postoperative stricture. The effectiveness of the permanent silicone stent for vasovasostomy was compared with that of microsurgical two-layered vasovasostomy(VV). Sperms were present in all the ejaculates of the 25 men on semen analysis 1-2 months after SVV. Pregnancy occurred in 10 of 22 couples(45.5%) during 2-24 months of follow-up and it took 4-10 months(average 7.2 months) to get pregnant. Average operation time for the VV was 150 minutes and that for the SVV 125 minutes. Among 12 men who had sperms in the ejaculates 1-2 months after SVV, 4 revealed azoospermia 3-17 months postoperatively. Among the 4 patients with postoperative azoospermia, 2 underwent reoperation. On histopathologic examination, previously anastomsed sites showed obliterated lumen of the stent and strictures of vas proximal and/or distal to the stents due to granulation tissues. In conclusion, the SVV was not more efficacious in terms of patency and pregnancy rate than the VV.

Purpose: The present study was done to examine the effect of music therapy on anxiety and pain in patients for whom a ureteral stent was inserted under local anesthesia. Method: The participants in this study were 22 patients who received a ureteral stent at the Day Surgery Center of C University Hospital during the period from May to October in 2006. The patients were divided into a control group (n=11) and an experimental group (n=11). For the experimental group, music was played according to their musical preference using headphones. The music was provided from the point when the patient took the posture for the operation and was covered with a sterilized drape to the point when the cystoscope was removed after finishing the operation. The control group was only provided with ordinary nursing services. Results: The results show that the provision of music therapy to these patients is effective in reducing the patients' salivary cortisol and Vas-anxiety score and stabilizing their systolic blood pressure. Conclusion: We conclude that music therapy can be actively used as a nursing intervention for reducing anxiety in patients who receive operations under local anesthesia.

Facial deformity after nerve injury changes ones' social life. We experienced a few patients with healthy early recovery of muscle contraction after the operation with soft tissue wraparound splint. Under general anesthesia, exploration to find as many injured nerve stumps with ${\times}2.5$ loopes was undertaken at first. Interfascicular repair was done with minimal tension by 10-0 nylon under a microscope, and the suture site was sealed by approximating the surrounding fat flaps. This conjoined adipose tissue flap was a splint as a wraparound environment to reduce the tension in the coaptation site, and to increase the relative concentration of releasing neurotrophic factors by surrounding it. A 45-year-old man fell down in a drunken state and had deep laceration by broken flowerpot fragments with facial muscle weakness on the right cheek. His injured mandibular branches of the facial nerve were found. A 31-year-old female suffered from motionlessnesss of frontalis muscle after a traffic accident. She had four frontal branches injured. The man had his cheek with motion after seven days, and the woman two months after the operation. The nerve conduction test of the woman showed normalized values. Facial nerve repair surrounded by adipose tissue wraparound splint can make the recovery time relatively short.

Telescopic denture has advantages such as transfer the occlusal force to the long axis of the abutment, easiness of oral hygiene management, increase of retention and stability, splint effect due to secondary fixation between abutments and have been reported a higher success rates than conventional removable partial denture (RPD). However, there are disadvantages such as complex laboratory procedures, long treatment periods and high costs, and high incidence of complications. This clinical report describes two cases, a 4-point supported telescopic denture using telescopic crown and a 2-point supported telescopic denture using conical crown with functionally satisfactory results. Frequent complications of telescopic denture, which are reported in various literature were reviewed. Clinical and laboratory procedures were performed in consideration of complications that reported.

Modular reconfigurable robots with physical docking capability easily adapt to a new environment and many studies are necessary for the modular robots. In this paper, we propose a vision-based fuzzy autonomous docking controller for the modular docking robots. A modular docking robot platform which performs real-time image processing is designed and color-based object recognition method is implemented on the embedded system. The docking robot can navigate to a subgoal near a target robot while avoiding obstacles. Both a fuzzy obstacle avoidance controller and a fuzzy navigation controller for subgoal tracking are designed. We propose an autonomous docking controller using the fuzzy obstacle avoidance and navigation controllers, absolute distance information and direction informations of robots from PSD sensors and a compass sensor. We verify the proposed docking control method by docking experiments of the developed modular robots in the various environments with different distances and directions between robots.

Nerve compression is caused by external force or internal pathology, which symptom develops along nerve distribution. There are median, ulnar and radial nerve compression neuropathies below elbow. Carpal tunnel syndrome at the flexor retinaculum is most common among all the entrapment neuropathies. Other causes of median nerve neuropathy include Struther's ligament, biceps aponeurosis, pronator teres, FDS aponeurosis and aberrant muscles, which induce pronator syndrome or anterior interosseous nerve syndrome. Ulnar nerve can be compressed at the elbow by arcade of Struther, medial epicondylar groove, FCU two heads, which develops cubital tunnel syndrome, at the wrist by ganglion, fracture of hamate hook and vascular problem, which develops Guyon's canal syndrome. Radial tunnel syndrome is caused by supinator muscle, which compresses its deep branch. Treatment is conservative at initial stage like NSAID, night splint or steroid injection. If symptom persists, operative treatment should be considered after electrodiagnostic or imaging studies.

Purpose: Ingrown toenails are a common disease in the adolescent period and the treatments could be more conservative for this early stage of the disease. This study is a case series on the results of a gutter splint for an adolescent ingrown toe nail as a simple, comfortable treatment method. Materials and Methods: From 2011 to 2018, 22 patients (mean age, 12.2 years; range, 8~15 years) with ingrown toenails were treated with a gutter splint. There were 16 boys and 6 girls with 7 patients on both great toes, and additional 4 both corners of a nail, giving a total of 33 splints. Flat, plastic straws and glue or suture were used to protect the nail corners under local anesthesia. The medical records were reviewed retrospectively and phone calls were made to obtain the long-term results. Results: Fifteen splints were fixed with a suture and the other 18 splints were fixed with glue. There were 9 cases of recurrence out of 33 gutter splints, 8 out of 15 sutured splints and 1 out of 18 glued splints (p=0.010). There was no gender (p=0.383) or age (p=0.305) difference in the number of recurrences. Conclusion: For growing people, ingrown nails can be cured easily by conservative treatment for a transiently shortened or broken toenail. The glued gutter splint had a reasonable success rate as a first line treatment.
