The purpose of this study was to examine the need of the eyelash design area and the changes of an eye image according to eyelash design. Methodology included both a theoretical research and an empirical research. The theoretical research reviewed previous researches and technical books. The empirical research divided eye shapes, complemented the defect of eye shapes, and examined resulting image changes. A mechanical way was performed for treatment because it was more efficient than a manual way. A J-curl type was used. Eye length was divided into five and the point was determined. The length and density of curl were changed in each point to maximize a treatment effect. As a result, eye images were changed as follows. First, round eyes became stable. Slit eyes became vivid and soft. Wide-set eyes became intelligent and narrow-set eyes became smooth. Large eyes were naturally gradated and small eyes became larger. Double-eyelid eyes became stable and elegant and single-eyelid eyes became gentle and soft. Bulging eyes became easy and soft and sunken eyes became smooth. Peaked eyes became gentle and soft and sleepy eyes became strong and vivid. Based on the findings, eyelash design can play a role in changing an image according to eye shapes. In particular, a speed eyelash extension device to extend eyelash can reduce working hours and gradate only by angle control. It can complement the defect of eyes according to the design of each shape and change into a better image.

A new type of buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) with a longitudinally profiled steel plate working as the core (LPBRB) is proposed and experimentally investigated. Different from conventional BRBs with a constant thickness core, both stiffness and strength of the longitudinally profiled steel core along its longitudinal direction can change through itself variable thickness, thus the construction of LPBRB saves material and reduces the processing cost. Four full-scale component tests were conducted under quasi-static cyclic loading to evaluate the seismic performance of LPBRB. Three stiffening methods were used to improve the fatigue performance of LPBRBs, which were bolt-assembled T-shaped stiffening ribs, partly-welded stiffening ribs and stiffening segment without rib. The experimental results showed LPBRB specimens displayed stable hysteretic behavior and satisfactory seismic property. There was no instability or rupture until the axial ductility ratio achieved 11.0. Failure modes included the out-of-plane buckling of the stiffening part outside the restraining member and core plate fatigue fracture around the longitudinally profiled segment. The effect of the stiffening methods on the fatigue performance is discussed. The critical buckling load of longitudinally profiled segment is derived using Euler theory. The local bulging behavior of the outer steel tube is analyzed with an equivalent beam model. The design recommendations for LPBRB are presented finally.

A 4-year-old, spayed female German Shepherd dog (GSD) weighing 22.4 kg was referred to Chungnam National University Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital with the chief complaint of a cardiac murmur. A continuous murmur was detected at the left basilar region upon auscultation. In the thoracic radiographs, slight bulging of the aorta, the main pulmonary artery, and the left atrium were observed. Echocardiography revealed continuous turbulent flow directed from the main pulmonary artery towards the pulmonary valve and consistently within the main pulmonary artery. Based on all the results, a diagnosis of type II A patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was made, and plans were established to treat it with transcatheter occlusion. Transcatheter occlusion was performed using a vascular plug and successfully deployed at the PDA. The patient did not exhibit any complications. GSDs are relatively less common compared to small-breed dogs in South Korea. Considering that GSDs are predisposed to PDA, it is crucial to periodically assess the presence of PDA through auscultation and echocardiography, even in the absence of clinical signs. Transcatheter occlusion using a vascular plug can be an option for treatment and can yield favorable outcomes.

Objectives : This study was performed to assess the effectiveness of conservative Korean traditional medical treatment on lumbar intervertebral disc herniation in 12 adolescents. Methods : Data were collected from adolescent patients diagnosed with lumbar intervertebral herniation by MRI, hospitalized at Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2015. A total of 12 patients were included in the study. Patients were treated by acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, electroacupuncture, herbal medicine, chuna manual therapy, physical therapy during hospitalization period. To measure treatment outcomes, a verbal numerical rating scale (VNRS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), range of motion (ROM), Straight leg raising test (SLR), and EQ-5D were used. Results : The average age of the participants was $16.05{\pm}1.62$. The average of duration of symptom was $19.25{\pm}26.83(weeks)$ and the average length of hospitalization was $23.8{\pm}16.4(days)$. 2 patients (17 %) suffered from only lumbar pain, while 10 patients (83 %) suffered from lumbar and leg pain. No participant suffered from only leg pain. 8 patients (67 %) were diagnosed with disc herniation in one segment, and 4 patients (33 %) were diagnosed with disc herniation in multiple segments. A total of 17 disc segments (28 %) were herniated. The most herniated lumbar level was L4-5. 3 segments were diagnosed with bulging (17 %), 6 with protrusion (35 %), and 8 with extrusion (47 %). Extrusion was the most frequent herniated type. After treatment, the average VNRS of lumbar pain significantly decreased from $5.58{\pm}1.62$ to $2.91{\pm}1.56$ (p<0.001) and the average VNRS of leg pain significantly decreased from $5.16{\pm}2.51$ to $3.08{\pm}1.8$ (p<0.001). ODI significantly decreased from $48.87{\pm}18.72$ to $28.57{\pm}15.05$ (p<0.05), and EQ-5D significantly increased $0.58{\pm}0.31$ to $0.80{\pm}0.12$ (p<0.05). Range of flexion significantly improved from $61.25{\pm}32.62$ to $68.33{\pm}26.22$ (p<0.05). Conclusion : Conservative Korean Traditional Medical Treatment may be effective in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation in adolescence. However, more case reports and clinical research are needed.

홍주읍성의 초축 연대는 명확히 알 수 없으나 문종 1년 축조 이후 수십 차례에 걸친 보수와 정비를 거쳤으며, 일제강점기에 일부 성벽이 훼철되면서 오늘날의 형태를 갖게 되었다. 홍성은 지구조적으로 지진의 발생 가능성이 높은 지역이다. 역사지진 기록이 남아 있으며, 1978년과 1979년에 각각 규모 5.0과 4.0의 지진이 발생하여 성벽 일부가 붕괴된 바가 있다. 2010년에는 집중강우에 의해 성벽이 붕괴되기도 하였다. 홍주읍성 성벽은 구간에 따라 다양한 구성암종, 치석형태, 축조방식, 채움재료 등이 적용되었다. 또한 보수과정에서 기존의 성벽을 훼철하지 않고 재사용 가능한 부분을 그대로 사용하여 시대에 따른 특성이 성벽에 수직적으로 반영되어 나타난다. 따라서 홍주읍성의 유형분류는 성벽의 수직적 분포를 기준으로 나누었으며, 축성유형의 수직적 개수에 따라 유형 I, 유형 II, 유형 III으로 구분하였다. 성벽에 사용된 암석은 주로 조립질화강암이나 성벽유형에 따라 암종의 차이가 명확하다. 성벽 하부는 자연석 내지 할석을 사용하여 다양한 암종이 혼재되어 나타나나, 중앙부의 치석한 암석은 대부분 조립질 화강암이다. 보수석재는 담홍색화강암이나 수구지와 조양문의 구성 암종은 성벽과 상이하다. 홍주읍성의 대표적인 손상유형은 배부름, 성돌의 돌출, 기초부 성돌의 유실, 부재의 이격, 균열 및 단열, 기초불안정 및 구조적 변형이다. 성벽에 발생하는 거동의 양과 방향을 확인하기 위해 수동 간이계측 및 광파측정을 수행하였다. 수동계측 결과, 성벽의 구조적 변형이 진행되는 구간을 분류할 수 있다. 광파측정 자료와 비교한 결과, 두 모니터링 방법은 상호 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 장기적인 보존관리 방안으로 두 계측방법은 상호 보완적으로 활용할 수 있으며, 홍주읍성의 안정화를 위해 계측시스템은 유지, 관리 및 개선되어야 할 것이다. 남문지 일대의 계측결과를 종합할 때, 붕괴된 성벽 또한 강우에 의한 거동변화가 지속적으로 진행되었을 것이다. 오랜 기간 변위가 누적된 상태에서 집중강우에 의해 발생한 이상거동에 따라 임계점을 초과하여 붕괴에 이르렀을 개연성이 충분하다. 홍주읍성 성벽의 효율적 관리를 위해 연구결과를 토대로 0등급부터 5등급까지 총 6단계의 관리등급을 제안하였다. 이 관리등급을 적용한 결과, 1등급 501.9m (61.10%), 2등급 29.5m (3.77%), 3등급 10.4m (1.33%), 4등급 241.2m (30.80%)로 나타났다. 4등급 구간은 홍화문 서쪽과 치성의 동쪽에 밀집된 양상으로 나타나며, 상시 모니터링 수행을 통해 위험상황에 대비해야 한다. 6단계로 분류한 관리등급은 전체적인 안정성 검토를 통해 수리와 보수가 수행된다면 다시 0등급으로 회귀하는 윤회적 시스템이다. 이를 위해서는 주기적인 정밀 모니터링을 통한 관리등급의 평가가 필요하다.
