Snapping triceps syndrome is a rare condition in which a distal portion of triceps and ulnar nerve dislocate over the medial epicondyle as the elbow is flexed or extended from flexed position. Because it is frequently misdiagnosed as other elbow pathologies, accurate diagnosis is essential and imaging study is often needed to confirm the abnormal movement of ulnar nerve and triceps. Ultraonography is a convenient and effective method which is able to allow continual visualization of soft tissue movement compared to the other imaging modality including MRI. We reported one patient of snapping triceps syndrome who was diagnosed with the use of dynamic ultrasonography and treated with ulna nerve anterior transposition and repositioning of medial head of triceps. And we also provide the usefulness of musculoskeletal ultrasonography for the diagnosis of snapping triceps syndrome.

Education will be undergoing major changes with the 4th industrial revolution. As education contents will be important in future smart home service, in-depth interviews were conducted against experts and analyzed by the grounded theory approach. Eleven categories emerged through the analysis. In order for educational content to be utilized in smart home services, value creation (central phenomenon) seems to be most critical with preceding overcome of hamlet syndrome. Diversity of content and connectivity (context) should be ensured, and studies that could enhance user experience (intermediary situations) should be conducted and reflected in the content curation and realtime response (interaction strategy). As a result, it can be inferred that the education content service can be expanded in smart home services while satisfying self-development desire of individuals through these processes. Additional selective coding revealed four immediate need area: self-development, home-improvement, health care, and mindful healing.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tea meditation intervention on the mindfulness and psychological well-being of middle-aged women with depression. The participants were recruited from the Life-Long Education Center of B university in B City. The research design was 2 (experimental vs control group) ${\times}3$ (pre, post, follow-up). A total of twenty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group, consisting of 10 participants each. The program consists of ten sessions, including psychological well-being improvement activities and mindfulness meditation practices with tea. The levels of mindfulness and psychological well-being (self-acceptance, positive relation with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose of life and personal growth) showed statistically significant increases in the post-program and follow-up measurements, as compared to the pre-program measurements.

Fracture of mandible is the most frequent fracture among many types of maxillofacial fracture, and reduction of mandible fracture is performed using various methods of treatment to maintain bonding strength of fractured bone. Among these treatment of bone fracture, a semirigid fixation method which can reduce the period of intermaxillary fixation using metal mini plate under general or local anesthesia is spotlighted these days. The metal mini plate used during this semirigid fixation procedure is Titanium which is bio-inactive one and was used widely, but because the side effect of fracture reduction using titanium have been demonstrated recently, fracture reduction using biodegradable plate become to attract people's attention. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical case and review of the literature with the reduction of mandible fracture using biodegradable plate.

An analytical, numerical, and experimental comparison of the hydraulic and thermal performance of new vascular channels with semicircular cross sections was conducted. The following conditions were employed in the study: Reynolds number, 30-2000; cooling channels with a volume fraction of the cooling channels, 0.04; and pressure drop, $30-10^5$ Pa. Three flow configurations were considered: first, second, and third constructal structures with diameters optimized for hydraulic operations. To validate the proposed vascular designs by an analytical approach, 3-D numerical analysis was performed. The numerical model was also validated by the experimental data, and the comparison results were in excellent agreement in all cases. The validation study against the experimental data showed that compared to traditional channels, the optimized structure of the cooling plates could significantly enhance heat transfer and decrease pumping power.

The grouting method, which can be used to effectively improve small areas within a short amount of time, may have different injection effects depending on the ground conditions and the levels of a water table. In particular, for ground with a relatively large permeability, the strength of the ground and the water proof ability can decrease over time due to the leaching process. To solve this problem, a "self-healing smart grouting (SSG) method", which was designed to maintain the initial strength of the ground by minimizing the leaching process, was developed recently. In this study, uniaxial compression tests were carried out on SSG samples to understand the strength of SSG over curing time where two different curing temperatures have been applied for comparison. The uniaxial compression strength of SSG was further compared with the samples prepared using conventional methods (LW and SGR). The test results showed that the uniaxial compression strength of SSG was higher at both high and low curing temperatures compared to that of the samples prepared using conventional methods. The initial strength of SSG was also relatively higher.

Seokchon Lake, and the area surrounding it, have become symbolic with an environment of 'peace', 'delight', 'happiness', and 'healing' due to the large floating yellow rubber duck which sits within the lake. There exists, however, a hidden intention of a large corporation who wishes to make benefit of this installation and its healing properties. Nevertheless, the lake has become a hot destination for people to come and see the rubber duck and take romantic photos with it. The photographs taken and shared further expand the popularity and romantic environment of the duck and lake. This process is a perfectly hermeneutic circle. Self or group mediation through photographic performances with the rubber duck has allowed the lake to take on new meaning to visitors. For families taking photos together it has become a place of family bonding and love while for couples of any age it has been transformed into a place to express their love through pictures together with the duck. Even for selfie generation it has become a destination and muse. Tourists are not merely written upon, but are also enacting and inscribing places with their own stories. Therefore, photographic performances produce rather than consume and reflect geography of Seokchon lake.

Purpose: The results of meniscal repair of peripheral tear of meniscus with meniscal arrow was analysed. Materials and Methods: Peripheral tears of posterior 1/2 of menisci of 25 cases including 18medial, 6 lateral and 1 both menisci were repaired with meniscal arrows. One to six meniscal arrows were used for each meniscus according to the length of tears. Concurrent tears of ACL were noted in14 cases. The follow-up period was 3.4 years in average. The findings of physical examination and MRI which were taken once or twice in 1$\~$5 years after operation were evaluated. Results: Healing of the tear was achieved in all cases. However, a vertical longitudinal tear of body occurred in two medial menisci along the line of insertion of arrows. An arrow migrated subcuta-neously in two cases, respectively. Conclusions: The meniscal arrow was effective in the treatment of the peripheral tear of menicus. However, there was a chance of occurrence of longitudinal tear of the meniscus in case of insertion of arrows in a row. Migration of the arrow may occur.

Lichen planus is an immune-mediated mucocutaneous disease, affects more frequently middle-aged Caucasian women and makes signs and symptoms in the oral mucosa. Cutaneous lichen planus lesions cause itching but they are self-limiting, oral lichen planus lesions are usually chronic, recalcitrant to treatment and potentially premalignant in some cases. Although, oral lichen planus is non-plaque related disease, they possess particular problems because plaque control is complicated by pain and bleeding and might cause plaque-related disease. The resulting condition comprises accumulations of plaque, which again can influence the progress of oral lichen planus with burning sensation, spontaneous gingival bleeding. Thus, it should be noted that both medication and supportive periodontal treatment are essential for the remission of the lesions. This case report introduces topical corticosteroid therapy and supportive periodontal treatment including intensive oral hygiene procedures to obtain an improvement of subjective symptoms and objective changes and to prevent relapse the lesions.
