Objectives：DFSP(Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans) is an uncommon, slowly growing, locally invasive malignant tumor that usually presents as a painless, often long-standing mass arising in the dermis of skin. It occurs most frequently on the trunk and proximal parts of the limbs, less commonly in the head and neck region and has a frequent tendency to recur after surgical excision. Clinically, the initial appearance of the tumor similar to that of benign tumor such as keloid and dermatofibroma. Therefore, accurate clinical diagnosis and adequate surgical excision are important. Materials and Methods：We experienced 6 patients of DFSP in head and neck during the recent 6 years, 5 male and 1 female patients. The age of the patients ranged from 31 to 66. As reconstructive methods, the authors used cervicofacial flap, trapezius musculocutaneous flap, TRAM flap, anterolateral thigh free flap and skin graft. Results：The patients were followed up after operation from 24 to 79 months and all remained free of disease except one case, who occurred at forehead area. Conclusion：We present the experience of 6 cases of DFSP occurred in head and neck. We obtained satisfactory results with appropriate diagnosis and treatment which wide excision with surgical margins 3-5cm. We also present an operative plan of this locally aggressive and highly recurrent tumor.

The purpose of this study is to establish a model that can quantitatively diagnose personal color. Representative color systems for personal colors have limitations in that it oversimplify personal color diagnosis types or it is difficult to distinguish objective differences between diagnosis types. To develop a brand new color system that enhances this, a PCCS color system capable of logical color was introduced and reclassified based on the four main properties of color. Twenty diagnostic types, which are more diverse than the existing color system were proposed and a quantitative method was used to evaluate the degree of harmony with a subject to find an optimized type of subject. The experimenter's individual competency and subjective intervention were minimized by devising a matrix in which a type suitable for the subject is derived when the coded evaluation result is substituted. Finally a quantitative diagnosis model of personal color consisting of three stages: property diagnosis, coding, and seasonal diagnosis was constructed. It can be seen that this will give diversity, reliability, and accuracy to the existing diagnostic methods.

To investigate the effect of nonionic surfactant and emulsion stabilizer on O/W emulsions, various emulsion formulations with different types of nonionic surfactants and emulsion stabilizers were prepared and their rheological properties were compared. In this study, polysorbate 60 (Tween 60), PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil (HCO 60), octyldodeceth-16 (OD 16), and ceteareth-6 olivate (Olivem 800) were used as hydrophilic nonionic surfactants, whereas cetyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, and stearic acid as emulsion stabilizers. Phase separation occurred only in the emulsion formulation with octyldodeceth-16 and all other emulsion formulations maintained a stable phase. The viscosity, hardness, and creaminess of emulsion formulation using a mixture of ceteareth-6 olivate and cetyl alcohol were the highest, and the emulsified droplet size was also the largest. These results are due to the formation of a network structure texture with the development of a large amount of liquid crystal in the O/W emulsion. In this formulation, the value of elastic modulus was large and the thixotropic behavior, in which the viscosity varies with the history of external force, was observed.

Three rice varieties of Akibare (japonica), Milyang 30 (indica) and Taebaeg (indica) were investigated for their changes in sensory and physical qualities of cooked rices during storage at the temperature range of $4^{\circ}C$ and $70^{\circ}C$ for 25 hours, The qualities studied were sensory attributes of texture which were evaluated by multiple comparison method and physical characteristics of texture measured using with rheometer. Physical Properties of hardness, adhesiveness and elasticity of cooked rices were found to be different among the rice varieties and were affected by storage conditions. Higher values in hardness and elasticity and lower values in adhesiveness were measured for cooked rices of Akibare immidiately after cooking. Those physical values were changed by a steady decrease in hardness and elasticity and increase in adhesiveness during storage for 25 hours. Correlations between sensory and physical characteristics of texture was found a significant relationships between gumminess and hardness (r=0.696), gumminess and adhesiveness (r=-0.800) and gumminess and elasticity (r=0.806).

Objectives：Cutaneous angiosarcoma is an infrequent but aggressive neoplasm involving the skin of the face and scalp. Unfamiliarity with the clinical manifestations of cutaneous angiosarcoma frequently leads to misdiagnosis and delay in treatment. Complete surgical resection requires the performance of preoperative staging biopsies to determine the true extent of the neoplasm. Intraoperative frozen section analysis to determine the adequacy of the surgical resection is unreliable due to the high false negative rate. Material and Methods：In five scalp angiosarcoma cases, mapping biopsies were performed at far from the suspected edge of the neoplasm. On permanent pathology, we obtained tumor free margin with occasional focal involvement of the tumor. Results：Frozen-section analysis of the resected margins is inconclusive, for the subtle diagnostic features of angiosarcoma are distorted by the tissue processing required for frozen-section analysis. The characteristic dermal vessels lined by their malignant cells are collapsed by the freezing process. This results in a high rate of false-negative reports and possibly leads to incomplete resection of the neoplasm. Conclusion：Our recommendation is to establish the margins of the tumor by performing preoperative evaluations by mapping biopsies.

The relationship between grain yield. protein content and sedimentation value in wheat were studied using 9 varieties cultivated at 8 locations in Korea. The grain yields of wheat varied widely, according to varieties and locations. Negative correlations between grain yield and protein content, and grain yield and sedimentation value were observed, while a positive correlation between protein content and sedimentation value was observed. Specific sedimentation values of soft wheats were below 4, while those of hard wheats were above 5. The intermediate varieties had sedimentation values of 4-5. This showed that specific sedimentation values could be used as a criterion in the classification of wheat quality.

Purpose: Due to the closed and humid condition of the perineal area, wound problems occurring at this site are sometimes complicated, especially following postoperative radiation therapy. Moreover, the anal sphincter is a very important functional structure but reconstruction of the anal sphincter after severe trauma poses a challenging problem to plastic surgeons. In this article, we demonstrate the usefulness of the pedicled gracilis flap in the reconstruction of the perineal area. Methods: From September 2008 to November 2009, 6 patients, 4 males and 2 females, underwent surgery of the perineal area. The age of the patients ranged from 21 to 62 years (mean age was 48). The mean follow up period was 14 months. In 4 cases, the patient presented with wound problems after postoperative radiation therapy for anal cancer. In 2 cases, the patient presented with traumatic sphincter damage. Only the gracilis muscle was used in the 4 cases and a musculocutaneous flap was used in the 2 cases involving skin defects, respectively. Results: Among the 6 patients, 1 patient underwent hematoma evacuation of the donor site, and 1 patient presented with prolapse of the vaginal mucosa which recovered spontaneously. There were no report of other complications and there were no wound recurrences. Minimal incontinence was observed in all patients who underwent sphincter reconstruction, but all were satisfied with the overall results. Conclusion: The gracilis flap is useful in the reconstruction of the perineal area, such as in cases of radiotherapy induced wound problems and sphincter damage following severe trauma, due to its easy accessibility, rich vascularity, and minimal donor site morbidity.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of self management behavior of patients with type 2 diabetes and to compare the factors influencing self management behavior between the elderly and adults. Methods: The participants consisted of 105 adults and 100 elderly who visited the outpatient department of a hospital from August to December 2011. Data was collected by questionnaires and analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 18.0. Results: The elderly showed higher mean scores of subcategory of self management behavior than adults. In stepwise multiple regression analysis, a total of 42% (adults), 52% (elderly) respectively of variance in self management behavior were accounted for by self-efficacy, perceived barriers, perceived benefits, yes or no smoking and regular exercise in adults and readiness, self efficacy, perceived benefits in the elderly. Conclusion: Therefore, a diabetics intervention program should be designed and provided as a tailored one for adults and elderly separately in Korea. In the strategy for adults with type 2 diabetes in the promotion of self efficacy, perceived benefits and reduction of perceived barriers, and correction of life habits such as smoking and exercise are needed, whereas in the elderly promotion of readiness, self efficacy, perceived benefits are required.

869 wheat lines were selected and analyzed for protein and lysine composition. Also, high protein-high lysine wheat were evaluated by stability parameter to determine varietal response to environments. Protein content had highly significant positive correlation coefficient of $0.902^{**}$ with lysine content but negatively correlated with lysine per protein content. Bezostaya and Lancota with low regression coefficient provided relatively low response to environment in protein content, while CI 13449 and Centurk with high regression coefficients (1.0) had a relatively high response. High heritability has been formed for protein $(h^2=0.809)$ and lysine content $(h^2=0.647)$.

Crease cut pearled baller was studied in relation to product and quality, and processing electricity requirement with various pearling yields. 1. Increasing the pearling rate resulted in increasing broken grain of cut-Polished barley. 2. The range of length/width ratio in cut-polished baller were from 2.09 to 2.13 and those of pearled barley were 1.36, respectively. 3. Cut-polished barley required more electricity than pearled barley at the same polishing rate. As pearling rate increased at first polishing before cutting, total electricity requirement of cut-polished barley reduced significantly.
