We have observed 165 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax from Aug. 1978 to May. 1985 at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, School of Medicine, Keimyung University. The ratio of male to female cases were 8.2:1 in male predominance, and the incidence was highest in the adolescence between 21 to 30 year of age. There were 85 patients of primary spontaneous pneumothorax and 80 patients of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. The etiologic factors of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax were tuberculous origin in 50 cases, chronic bronchitis with emphysematous bullae or blebs in 17 cases, asthma in 10 cases and lung cancer in 3 cases. Closed thoracotomy was performed for reexpansion of collapsed lung in 153 cases, bed rest in 3 cases, needle aspiration in 5 cases and open thoracotomy in 14 cases. Closed thoracotomy was the main therapeutic approach of choice in the great majority of spontaneous pneumothorax with recurrence rate of 21.6%. However, open thoracotomy was undertaken in patients with continuous air leakage, recurrent episodes, bilateral pneumothorax and large visible apical blebs or bullae.

To prevent environmental pollution caused by leakage of leachate from waste landfill, vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) resin is applied to liner and cover materials to improve their performance. Styrene, styrene butadiene rubber, and VAE are widely used as polymer resins that have excellent water resistance and durability. Further, VAE resin is known to have additional advantages such as adhesion to nonpolar materials and resistance to saponification as a copolymer. In this study, the effect of VAE content on the properties of liner and cover materials was studied. The water and air content ratios, bending and compressive strengths, water absorption ratio, and coefficient of permeability of these materials were measured. The liner and cover materials with 4 wt% VAE showed good properties.

일반적인 장대 철도터널에 비해 해저터널은 환기 및 방재를 위한 별도의 연직갱 또는 경사갱 설치에 공간상 많은 제약을 받게 되므로, 인공섬을 건설하여 환기를 수행할 필요가 있다. 그러나, 인공섬 설치에는 시공상의 문제 뿐만 아니라 건설비용이 증가하게 되므로, 인공섬 설치를 최소화하여 환기구간 거리를 늘려야 한다. 이에 따른 환기거리의 증가시, 누풍에 의한 신선공기 공급량이 커지게 된다. 공급풍량이 과대해지면, 구조물 한계에 의해 설치가능한 덕트직경이 제한적이므로, 팬 정압 및 동력도 상당히 증가하게 된다. 따라서, 초장대 해저터널을 건설하기 위해서는 이러한 현실적인 문제를 극복하고, 시공중 터널내 환경을 쾌적한 상태로 유지할 수 있는 기술력이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 초장대 해저터널에 적합한 공사중 환기 방식을 개발하기 위한 기본연구로써, 국내외의 공사중 환기용량 산정방법 비교를 통해, 스위스의 SIA 196 코드가 초장대 해저터널계획에 적합함을 확인하였다. 또한, 덕트 접속부의 누출에 관한 실험을 통해, 국내의 덕트 접속방식은 100 m당 누풍율이 1.5~3.0% 사이임을 확인하였다. S등급 덕트의 경우 환기가능거리가 10.2 km 이므로, 덕트의 접속방법을 개선한다면, 환기가능거리는 더 길어질 수 있다. 따라서, 공사중 덕트의 누풍개선이 초장대 해저터널의 공사중 환기의 주요 이슈임을 확인하였다.

자연기흉은 장측 늑막 기포의 공기 유출로 인해 폐가 허탈된 상태이다. 폐쇄식 흉강삽관술,흉강천자술 및 단순한 관찰이 효과적인 치료이다. 그러나 이러한 치료가 비효과적일 때, 개홉술을 하게된다. 저자들은 자연 기흉이 흉부외과적 영역에서 매우 흔하게 접하는 질환이기에, 개흉례의 수술 적응증에 따른 병리소견을 비교함이 향후 수술적응에 도움이 될것으로 생각되어 본 연구를 시작했다. 1988년부터 1996년까지 9년동안 마산삼성병원 흉부외과에 입원 치료한 기흉 환자 중에서 개흉술을 시행한 242례(236명)에 관한 임상적 고찰을 하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 남녀비는 11.7:1로 남자가 현저히 우세했다. 2. 가장 빈발한 연령층은 10대와 20대이었다(10대=29.3%,20대=30.2%). 3. 가장 흔한 증상은 흉통과 호흡곤란이었다(흉통=41.7%,호흡곤란=36.8%). 4. 자연기흉의 원인은 원발성 자연기흉(86.4%)이 제일 많았고, 속발성 자연기흉으로는 결핵(9.1%),폐기종 및 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환(3.7%) 등이 있었다. 5. 자연기흉의 발생위치는 우측 52.1% 좌측 45.4%, 양측 2.5%이었다. 6. 개흉술의 가장 흔한 적응증은 재발(44.2%), 지속적 공기유출(31.8%) 및 奴舅\ulcorner폐확장이었다(15.7%). 7. 수술수기는 후흉회측절개 및 정중흉골절개를 통한 개흉술을 주로 시행했다. 8. 수술시 기포가 가장 많았던 곳은 우상엽 첨구역(35.1%)와 좌상엽 후첨구역(41.3%)이었다. 9. 수술시 기포수는 대개 1~5개(88%)이었고, 수술 적응증에 따른 차이는 없었다. 10. 수술시 기포 크기는 대개 5cm(81%) 기하였으며, 수술적응증이 재발된 기흉이었던 경우는 작은 기포(1cm 이하)가 많았고, 지속적 공기유출 및 불완전 확장이었던 경우는 비교적 큰기포(5cm초과)가 많았다. 11, 늑막유착은 54.5%에서 있었고,수술적응증이 재발인 경우 64.1%, 지속적 공기 유출인 경우 11.9%,불완전 확장인 경우 47.4%이 었다

The liquefied petroleum gas(LPG), mixture of propane and butane, has the potential to reduce toxic hydrocarbon emissions and inhibit ozone formation due to its chemical composition. Conventional mixer systems, however, have problems in meeting the future lower emission standards because of the difficulty in controlling air-fuel ratio precisely according to mileage tar accumulation. Liquid Phase LPG injection(LPLi) system has several advantages in more precise fuel metering and higher engine performance than those of the conventional mixer type. On the other hands, leakage problem of LPLi system at the injector tip is a main obstacle for meeting more stringent future emission regulations because these phenomena might cause excessive amount of THC emission during cold and hot restart phase. The main focus of this paper is the development of a leaked fuel recirculation system, which can eliminate the leaked fuel at the intake system with the activated carbon canister. Leaked fuel level was evaluated by using a fast response THC analyzer and gas chromatography. The result shows that THC concentration during cold and hot restart stage decreases by over 60%, and recirculation system is an effective method to meet the SULEV standard of the LPLi engine.

The submarine is an underwater weapon system which covertly attacks the enemy. Pressure hull of a submarine is a main system which has to have a capacity which can improve the survivability (e.g., protection of crews) from the high pressure and air pollution by a leakage of water, a fire caused by outside shock, explosion, and/or operational errors. In addition, pressure hull should keep the functional performance under the harsh environment. In this study, optimal design of submarine pressure hull is dealt with 7 case studies done by analytic method and then each result's adequacy is verified by numerical method such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA). For the structural analysis by FEM, material non-linearity and geometric non-linearity are considered. After FEA, the results by analytic method and numerical method are compared. Weight optimized pressure hull initial scantling methods are suggested such as a ratio with shell thickness, flange width, web height and/or relations with radius, yield strength and design pressure (DP). The suggested initial scantling formulae can reduce the pressure hull weight from 6% and 19%.

Pneumatic vibration isolator has a wide application for ground-vibration isolation of vibration-sensitive equipments. Recent advances In precision machine tools and instruments such as nano-technology or medical devices require a better isolation performance, which can be efficiently done by precise modeling- and design- of the isolation system. This paper will discuss an efficient transmissibility design method for pneumatic vibration isolator by employing the complex stiffness model of dual-chamber pneumatic spring developed in our previous research. Three design parameters of volume ratio between the two pneumatic chambers, the geometry of capillary tube connecting the two pneumatic chambers and finally the stiffness of diaphragm necessarily employed for prevention of air leakage were found to be important factors in transmissibility design. Based on design technique that maximizes damping of dual-chamber pneumatic spring, trade-off among the resonance frequency of transmissibility, peak transmissibility and transmissibility in high frequency range was found, which was not ever stated in previous researches. Furthermore this paper will discuss about negative role of diaphragm in transmissibility design. Then the design method proposed in this paper will be illustrated through experiment at measurements.

We have experienced 142 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax from January 1987 to June 1990 at the department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Inha General Hospital, Inha University College of Medicine. The age of patients ranged from 16 to 79 years \ulcornerold. The incidence was highest between late 2nd and 3rd decades in non tuberculous group. Males occupied 110 cases [77.6%] and females 32 cases [22. 5%], and its ratio was 3.4: l. The incidence of right side pneumothorax was 76 cases [53.5%] and left side was 65 cases [45.8%]. There was one case of bilateral pneumothorax. The most common chief complaints were chest pain and dyspnea. The associated pulmonary lesions were pulmonary tuberculosis, active or healed in 51 cases [35.9%], Subpleural bleb in 19 cases [13.4%], emphysematous bulla in 12 cases [13.4%], asthma in 3, bronchiectasis in 3, pneumonia in 1, cyst in 1. The unknown origin pneumothorax, so called "idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax”, which seemed to be caused by the rupture of bleb or bulla most likely, were 52 cases [36. 6%] in our series. Generally, closed [tube] thoracotomy with underwater sealed drainage is the treatment of choice in spontaneous pneumothorax. We experienced 94 cases[66.2%] which were cured by closed thoracotomy. However, open thoracotomy and adequate surgical procedures were undertaken in patient with continuous air leakage or recurrent attacks of spontaneous pneumothorax in 48 cases [33.8%]. The minithoracotomy is a good procedure for the bullectomy of upper lobe.lobe.
