Cu-Zn-Al catalysts were prepared via co-precipitation method for low-temperature water-gas shift (LT-WGS) reaction under practical reaction condition. Aging time was systematically changed to find optimum point for LT-WGS under practical condition. The Cu-Zn-Al catalyst aged for 72 hours showed the highest CO conversion within low-temperature range as well as very stable catalytic activity for 200 hours despite the practical reaction condition.

Background: Lymph node metastasis is commonly reported in thoracic esophageal cancer, even in the early esophageal cancer which may be localized only in the mucosa or within the submucosal layer. Although lymph node metastasis greatly influence long-term outcome and cure of the disease, endoscopic mucosal resection or photodynamic therapy without lymph node dissection is widely attempted. The investigation of the pattern of lymph node metastasis and results of surgical resection of superficial esophageal cancer is needed. Material and Method: Pattern of lymph node metastsis and depth of tumor invasion were studied retrospectively from 44 patients with early esophageal cancer who underwent radical resection of the tumor from December, 1995 to August, 2001. Result: Lymph node metastasis was found in 10 patients (22.7%) out of total of 44 patients. Lymph node metastasis was found in 0% (0 of 3), 0% (0 of 4), 50% (2 of 4), and 24.24% (8 of 33) of tumors that invaded the intraepitherium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa, and submucosa respectively. Anatomically distant lymph node metastases were found more frequently in recurrent laryngeal nerve node(5 cases of 10 patients) and in intraperitoneal node (8 cases of 10). than intrathoracic node (3 cases of 10). There was no operative mortality, however, there were 1 hospital death in patient with lamina propria cancer, 1 late death in patient with submucosal cancer. Three-year survival rates (except hospital death) were 100% in mucosal cancer and 97.0% in submucosal cancer (p>0.05), and 100% in the node negative group and 90.0% in the node positive group (p>0.05). Conclusion: The survival rate of superficial esophageal cancer patient who was recieved operative resection was excellent. But, lymph node metastasis were found in superficial esophageal cancer, even in esophageal cancer limited to the muscularis mucosa. Systemic lymph node dissection which includes recurrent laryngeal nerve nodes and intraperitoneal nodes was recommended for favorable outcome in superficial esophageal cancer.

Giant cell tumor is usually found around the knee joint, especially in the distal femur or proximal tibia. Despite being classified as benign, it has unusual biological behavior of local aggressiveness and tend to have severely destructive lesion and develop rare pulmonary metastasis. Therefore, when the patient is presented to the physician with an expansile lytic lesion of challenging clinicopathologic entity extending to subchondral bone, the physician faces up to difficulties in treatment. We report a case of 25 years old patient having recurrent giant cell tumor in the right distal femur which developed metastasis to lung. The primary bone lesion was treated with local curettage and fillings with methylmethacrylate, but when he returned to the hospital two years later, the recurrence had developed with lung metastasis.

As we know, alveolar soft part sarcoma is usually found at the head region in children and thigh in adults. It is very rare tumor that has poor prognosis due to its late detection after distant metastasis in spite of its slow growth rate. It is histologically characterized by pseudoalveolar pattern tumor cells. And metastasis usually occur in the site of lung, brain and skeleton in order lately. We have managed two cases of the sarcoma, one which took place in relatively rare part, pelvic bone and has spread to the brain, the other which primarily occured in the calf. For its varity, we report these two cases with reviewing of the literatures.

Cysticercosis is not likely to be the first diagnosis the otologist has in the head and neck area. The fact that this disease may present a diagnostic and therapeutic problem is illustrated by one case, appearing in the face of right side. The local finding of a soft nontender mass, the typical calcifications in the soft tissues visible on roentgenograms, and the histopathological findings are described and illustrated. Attention is drawn to the fact that cerebral cysticercosis, which is a very grave disease, may cause tinnitus, nystagmus, and hearing disturbances. Recently, the authors have experienced a case of cysticercosis on the face in a 24-year-old male patient. We present this case with a brief review of the literatures.

전자파 차폐 및 반사방지용으로 사용되는 SiO$_2$/ITO 이층박막의 전기적 특성에 미치는 전이금속이온의 영향에 대해 고찰하고 전자파 차폐이론식으로부터 박막의 전도특성에 모사하여 효과적인 전자파 차폐효과를 얻기 위한 전도막을 설계하고자 하였다. ITO 상층부에 전이금속염을 첨가한 실리카 복합졸을 코팅하여 SiO$_2$/ITO 이층막을 제조한 결과 최저 표면저항치를 나타내는 첨가량은 전이금속의 종류에 따라 차이를 보이지만 Sn 및 Zn이 첨가된 졸로부터 형성된 박막은 $10^{5}$Ω/$\square$ 이하의 낮은 저항치를 보였으며 가장 안정된 표면저하을 나타내었다. 또한 전자파 차폐효과와 전도박막의 표면저항을 차폐이론식으로부터 모사한 결과 Zn과 Sn의 전이금속염이 첨가된 SiO$_2$/ITO 투명전도막은 TCO99에서 정한 전자파 차폐기준에 부합하였다.다.

As computational technologies have been developed, the load transfer analysis method using load transfer curves is widely performed. Now the load transfer analysis methods are widely used in our country. But most of the curves using in the analysis have been developed in foreign countries. In this study we gathered the data of in situ pile load tests on domestic nine sites in order to derive load transfer curves of driven steel pipe piles. Then we derived average lines of $f/f_{max}$-w/D curves for sandy and clayey soils respectively, which are expressed by hyperbolic function. And the results using these curves and the results using TZPile 2.0 (Analysis program of pile) were compared and analyzed with the results of pile load tests on domestic 3 sites in order to ascertain the applicability of the curves. The results show that the load-settlement relations using the curves in this study are more similar to the measured data and more conservative than those using TZPile 2.0.

우리나라 하천의 대부분은 다양한 수리학적, 형태학적 특징을 가지고 있으며 이에 따라 수위-유량관계는 민감하게 변화한다. 그 중 하도구간에 서식하고 있는 식생의 영향은 우리가 쉽게 예측할 수 없는 통제 특성을 발생시킨다. 식생(Vegetation)은 서서히 혹은 빠르게 성장하고, 쉽게 변화하여 기간별로 혹은 주기별로 다른 양상의 수위-유량관계를 발생시키고 이는 레이팅 전이(Rating shift)로 이어진다. 본 연구에서는 식생의 영향에 의해 발생되는 수위-유량관계를 좀 더 명확하게 규명하고자, 영산강 수계 황룡강 중류부에 위치한 임곡 지점을 대상 지점으로 선정하고 주기적으로 유량측정을 실시하여 시기별, 측정성과별로 식생의 정도를 검토하고 그 경향성을 파악하였다. 하도 내에서 수중식물의 성장이 진행되면 흐름 저항의 정도가 변하게 되며, 이의 영향으로 유속 역시 변하게 된다. 식생(Vegetation)의 성장기에는 유속이 감소하여 유량이 작아지는 수위-유량관계의 일차적인 음의 전이가 발생하며, 식생의 성장이 극대화되는 8월에는 좀 더 큰 음의 전이가 발생하게 된다. 하지만 식생에 의한 곡선의 전이(Rating Shift)는 영구적인 것이 아니라 계절별로 순환하는 특성을 지니고 있기에, 식생의 영향이 소멸하기 시작하는 9월 이후에는 수위-유량관계가 식생의 영향이 없는 원래의 수위-유량관계로 다시 접근하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 식생의 영향이 없는 수위-유량관계곡선(Original rating curve)을 개발하고 식생의 성장 및 영향의 정도에 따른 기간분리를 실시하여 전이된 수위-유량관계곡선(Shift curve)을 개발하였다. 아울러 전체적인 유출평가의 과정을 거쳐 개발된 곡선식의 적정성 검토를 실시하였다.

Owing to the anatomic complexity of the hepatic hilum, it has been considered difficult to diagnose and treat peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Currently, imaging studies, including contrast-enhanced CT and MRI, play a crucial role in the detection, characterization, staging, and resectability assessment of peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma. In this review, the classification of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma and proposed imaging protocol for the evaluation will be discussed. The typical imaging finding of peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma, evaluation of longitudinal tumor extent, adjacent vascular invasion, and distant metastasis will also be mentioned. Finally, traditional concepts and recent updates for the resectability assessment of peri-hilar cholangiocarcinoma will be introduced.

This study was conducted to understand the role of soybean pathogenesis-related 10 (GmPR10) gene in salt tolerance and to develop salt-tolerant rice using GmPR10 cDNA. GmPR10 transgene was expressed constitutively in the shoot and root of the $T_1$ transgenic rice plants. Interestingly, however, the levels of the transgene expression were increased temporally up to over four- to five-fold in the shoot and root by 125 mM NaCl treatment, peaking at six hours after the treatment and decreasing thereafter. Electrolyte leakage of leaf cells under 125 mM NaCl treatment was lower in all the transgenic lines than in the control variety, Dongjin-byeo. Ability of seedlings to recover from 125 mM NaCl treatment for two weeks was higher in the transgenic plants than in the control plants. These results demonstrated that GmPR10 had function to increase cell integrity and promote growth under the saline stress imposed by NaCl. The transgenic line GmPR10-3 which showed highest ability to recover from the saline stress could be used as a potential source for salt tolerance in rice breeding programs.
