For Percutaneous control of the degree of constriction after pulmonary artery banding, we developed an adjustable banding device that was operated by oil pressure. This consists of a stainless steel snare, a polyethylene tube with silicone oil, and a screw adjuster. Five dogs underwent banding of the pulmonary artery or the descending aorta with this device. This band could be effectively and finely adjusted. Although these studies are preliminary, they suggest that a reversible pulmonary artery band can be performed.

기존의 폐동맥 혈류 조절술(pulmonary래eV banding procedure)의 미비 점을 보완하여 피하에서 조절 가능한 폐동맥 혈류 조절기(pulmonary artery banding device)를 개발하였다. 조절기는 탄성력을 가진 스테인레스 철 사를 이용하여 지그재그형으로 형태를 만든 조절부,폴리비닐 카테터로 된 몸체 부위 및 볼트와 너트로 이 루어진 나사부로 구성되어 있다. 15∼20 kg의 네 마리 황견을 이용해 좌측 개흉술 후 하행 대동맥에 본 장 치를 장착한 후 때월 후 장치의 조절에 따르는 혈압의 변화에 대한 검사를 하였다. 검사 후 실험동물을 희생시켜 장치를 포항한 대동맥의 병리 조직 검사를 시행하였다. 조절기의 나사부를 회전시키므로서 혈관 에 장착된 조절기의 직경과 원주가 정확하고 용이하게 조절되었다. 조절기의 조절에 따라 측정한 혈압 변 화에서 혈압이 조절기의 회전수에 선형 증감을 나타냈다. 폐동맥 혈류 조절기의 장착이 용이하고 쉽게 조 절 가능하므로 이를 장차 임상에 적용시켜 보다 향상되길 기대한다.

Control Banding (CB) strategies to prevent work-related illness and injury for 2.5 billion workers without access to health and safety professionals has grown exponentially this last decade. CB originates from the pharmaceutical industry to control active pharmaceutical ingredients without a complete toxicological basis and therefore no occupational exposure limits. CB applications have broadened into chemicals in general - including new emerging risks like nanomaterials and recently into ergonomics and injury prevention. CB is an action-oriented qualitative risk assessment strategy offering solutions and control measures to users through "toolkits". Chemical CB toolkits are user-friendly approaches used to achieve workplace controls in the absence of firm toxicological and quantitative exposure information. The model (technical) validation of these toolkits is well described, however firm operational analyses (implementation aspects) are lacking. Consequentially, it is often not known if toolkit use leads to successful interventions at individual workplaces. This might lead to virtual safe workplaces without knowing if workers are truly protected. Upcoming international strategies from the World Health Organization Collaborating Centers request assistance in developing and evaluating action-oriented procedures for workplace risk assessment and control. It is expected that to fulfill this strategy's goals, CB approaches will continue its important growth in protecting workers.

Objectives: This paper presents the framework and protocol design for a construction industry risk management toolbox. The construction industry needs a comprehensive, systematic approach to assess and control occupational risks. These risks span several professional health and safety disciplines, emphasized by multiple international occupational research agenda projects including: falls, electrocution, noise, silica, welding fumes, and musculoskeletal disorders. Yet, the International Social Security Association says, "whereas progress has been made in safety and health, the construction industry is still a high risk sector." Methods: Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) employ about 80% of the world's construction workers. In recent years a strategy for qualitative occupational risk management, known as Control Banding (CB) has gained international attention as a simplified approach for reducing work-related risks. CB groups hazards into stratified risk 'bands', identifying commensurate controls to reduce the level of risk and promote worker health and safety. We review these qualitative solutions-based approaches and identify strengths and weaknesses toward designing a simplified CB 'toolbox' approach for use by SMEs in construction trades. Results: This toolbox design proposal includes international input on multidisciplinary approaches for performing a qualitative risk assessment determining a risk 'band' for a given project. Risk bands are used to identify the appropriate level of training to oversee construction work, leading to commensurate and appropriate control methods to perform the work safely. Conclusion: The Construction Toolbox presents a review-generated format to harness multiple solutions-based national programs and publications for controlling construction-related risks with simplified approaches across the occupational safety, health and hygiene professions.

Hydroxyurea (HU), a DNA synthesis inhibitor, was tested as synchronizing agent in root-tip meristem of Allium wakegi. Roots were treated with 2.5mM HU for 14 h to accumulate meristem root-tip cells at the G1/S interface. After release from HU block, the cells re-entered the cell cycle with a high degree of synchrony. Synchronized mitotic frequency of A. wakegi was 22.7%, which was about 3.9 times as high as that of the control. The highest metaphase index(23.0%) was obtained when, 6 h after release from the HU block, the roots were treated with 0.05% colchicine for 2 h. Modifying various Giemsa staining protocols defined for animals and a few plant species, G-bands were visualized at prometaphase and metaphase chromosomes of A. wakegi. The higher degree of chromosome condensation, the less differential bands could be resolved. This is the first demonstration introduced partial mitotic synchronization into G-banding in plant.

Objectives: This study was conducted in order to better understand the conceptual model and Stoffenmanager nano module and apply it to the synthesis and packing processes of nanomaterials. Methods: Site visits were conducted to five nanomaterial production processes. Product and exposure variables were investigated in these workplaces. Hazard banding and exposure classification of the synthesis and packing processes of nanomaterials were conducted using documents and the website of Stoffenmanager Nano. Results: The five sites featured different products, packing tasks, ventilation and local exhaust, and others. The hazards for nano-nickel and copper were classified as E. The hazards for both fumed silica and indium tin oxide were classified as D. The hazard for spherical silica was classified as C. The exposure classes in the synthesis process of nanomaterials ranged from 2 through 4. The exposure classes in the packing process of nanomaterials ranged from 1 through 4. Conclusions: Application of Stoffenmanager nano to the synthesis and packing processes of nanomaterials helped to better understand the control level of the work environment and to suggest appropriate actions. The comparison of each process showed the effect of the production process and handling of solids and ventilation on exposure class.

Background: Management and workers in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often find it hard to comprehend the requirements related to controlling risks due to exposure to substances. An intervention study was set up in order to support 45 SMEs in improving the management of the risks of occupational exposure to chemicals, and in using the control banding tool and exposure model Stoffenmanager in this process. Methods: A 2-year intervention study was carried out, in which a mix of individual and collective training and support was offered, and baseline and effect measurements were carried out by means of structured interviews, in order to measure progress made. A seven-phase implementation evolutionary ladder was used for this purpose. Success and failure factors were identified by means of company visits and structured interviews. Results: Most companies clearly moved upwards on the implementation evolutionary ladder; 76% of the companies by at least one phase, and 62% by at least two phases. Success and failure factors were described. Conclusion: Active training and coaching helped the participating companies to improve their chemical risk management, and to avoid making mistakes when using and applying Stoffenmanager. The use of validated tools embedded in a community platform appears to support companies to organize and structure their chemical risk management in a business-wise manner, but much depends upon motivated occupational health and safety (OHS) professionals, management support, and willingness to invest time and means.

We introduces a development result of semi-automatic karyotyping system using image processing method to improve a long time working of the manual method and 5% error of traditional automatic karyotying system for analyzing karyotying. The karyotyping procedures have many routine tasks such as searching metaphases, taking pictures, developing, editing, etc. There are several automatic karyotyping systems in order to reduce the task in advanced countries. However, they are very expensive, applicable to only human chromosome, and have too many functions to use easily. This paper takes aim at high quality image resolution and development of interface that can adjust brightness and contrast of image on-line. The system can be applied to animal and plants as well as human's chromosome. The system developed in this paper is applied to pig and human. The effectiveness of the system is proved by hospitals in Korea.
