Recently, the use of advanced materials with light weight significantly increases because of global regulation on CO2 emission. Especially, CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) one of the most promising advanced materials. Since CFRP has pretty higher strength per unit weight than steel, it is one of most popular materials in aviation industry and its application to automobile rises sharply. Especially, one of the frequent machining processes for CFRP is drilling to make a hole, however, CFRP drilling has troublesome limitations in hole quality and productivity induced due to delamination, splintering and severe tool wear. Particularly, cutting loads increase caused by tool wear makes delamination and splintering even severer. Therefore, tool wear monitoring or reduction in CFRP drilling must be considered seriously. In this study, we measured thrust force, flank wear, and tool surface temperature in drilling using various tools with different sizes and materials. Consequently, it was presented the effects of tool properties on drilled hole quality, thrust force and tool surface temperature.

Twelfth rib syndrome is thought to be due to intercostal nerve irritation by a mobile twelfth rib, and presents with upper abdominal pain, or low thoracic pain. This syndrome appears to be a fairly common entity and diagnosis is based on clinical findings. Patients with twelfth rib syndrome can be misdiagnosed when it has been overlooked. We report a case of a 34-year-old male along with a presentation of twelfth rib syndrome. One patient was transferred from urologic clinic to pain clinic due to right flank pain and admitted. The patient had direct tenderness on twelfth rib area and direct tenderness was reproducible. Pain increased when the patient flexed laterally, rotated trunk. There were no specific abnormal findings in laboratory test, electrocardiogram, and radiologic examination. After intercostal nerve block and epidural block, pain decreased and the patient was discharged.

Zosteriform lesions, occurring after left flank and intravaginal inoculations of Balb/c mice with the Herpes simplex virus type 1 strain McKrae, developed in clinically normal skin via nerve endings. The developments of zosteriforms were standardized in 5 phases with the following references; formation of small vesicles (phase 1); occurrence of erosion and ulceration of local lesions (phase 2); occurrence of ulcerations (phase 3); occurrence of severe ulcerations (phase 4); and death (phase 5). These results provide two valuable zosteriform models to further investigate and analyze the pathological symptoms in susceptible animals infected with HSV-1 or HSV-2 and DNA vaccines.

Drilling is one of the most important operations in machining industry and usually the most efficient and economical method of cutting a hole in metal. From automobile parts to aircraft components, almost every manufactured product requires that holes are to be drilled for the purpose of assembly, creation of fluid passages, and so on. It is therefore desirable to monitor drill wear and hole quality changes during the hole drilling process. One important aspect in controlling the drilling process is monitoring drill wear status. A drill-wear monitoring system provides information about drill status. With the information, optimum planning for tool change is possible. And drill-wear monitoring system in needed to evaluated drilled hole quality and the wear of drill. Accordingly, this paper deals with an on-line drill wear monitoring system of the detection of tool wear with the computer vision and the area of the drill flank wear is analyzed quantitatively by the system.

Objectives : The research was conducted for the use of HT1 in the shoulder disease through correct acupuncture. Methods : (1) The contents were compared through reviewing literature. (2) The literature was studied in conjunction with the shoulder pathology and anatomical structures. Results : (1) The location of HT1 is described as 'in the axilla, over the axillary artery' in many literature, and the depth of HT1 is as shallow as 1 cm. The WHO standard also follows this. (2) There were many references to 'in the axilla, between the big muscles' in later generations, but there were mixed opinions about the exact muscle names. Based on the acupunctural review and the musculoskeletal study, the big muscles are considered to be 'Pectoralis major' and 'Latissimus dorsi'. (3) Among the muscles constituting the rotator cuff, applying acupuncture on HT1 is essential for 'Subscapularis m.'. Therefore, it is effective to stimulate 'Subscapularis m.' to a depth of 1.5 to 4 cm. Conclusions : The accurate acupoint of HT1 enables various uses of flank, armpit, shoulder and arm diseases as well as cardiopathy. Especially, it helps to treat the muscles through safe and effective acupuncture in shoulder rotator cuff disorder.

In unmanned machining, One of the most essential issue is the tool management system which includes controlling. identification, presetting and monitoring of cutting tools. Especially the monitoring of tool wear and fracture may be the heart of the system. In this study a computer vision based tool monitoring system is developed. Also an algorithm which can determine the tool condition using this system is presented. In order to enhance practical adaptability the vision system through which two modes of images are taken is located over the rake face of a tool insert. And they are analysed quantitatively and qualitatively with image processing technique. In fact the morphologies of tool fracture or wear are occurred so variously that it is difficult to predict them. For the purpose of this problem the pattern recognition is introduced to classify the modes of the tool such as fracture, crater, chipping and flank wear. The experimental results performed in the CNC turning machine have proved the effectiveness of the proposed system.

Lung abscess is often ocuured by aspiration of infectious secretion in stroke patients that has symptom of dysphagia. So we studied the effects of combined eastern and western treatment in lung abscess patient combined with stroke. We performed both antibiotic therapy and herbal medication in a lung abscess patient. We compared a chest x-ray film of early stage of disease with a film of after stage of disease, also compared change of symptom-cough, sputum, flank pain, blood phlem. After dispending antibiotic therapy and herbal medication, a lung abscess patient improved symptoms and in result of chest x-ray. The above results suggest that combined eastern and western trearment can have good effects on improving symptoms of a lung abscess patient.

A 33-year-old Korean woman, para 2, visited an obstetrics and gynecology clinic, Kumi-shi, Kyongsangbuk-do, due to postcoital spotting and flank pain. She had a tubal ligation 7 years before and demonstrated back pain during menstruation. She revealed a foul smelling discharge without complaint of itching. Enterobiw vermicularis eggs were demonstrated during microscopic examination of a smear taken from the posterior fornix of the vagina. On endoscopic examination of her vagina, a live worm was found in the posterior fornix. The worm was removed and identified as a female E. uemiculcris based on morphology. This is the first case report of vaginal enterobiasis in Korea.

Primary renal echinococcosis, a rare disease involving the kidney, accounts for 2-3% of human echinococcosis. A 64-year-old female patient from Uzbekistan presented with complaints of left flank pain. A CT scan revealed a cystic mass in the upper to midpole of the left kidney. We regarded this lesion as a renal malignancy and hand-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy was performed to remove the renal mass. The mass consisted of a large unilocular cyst and multiple smaller cysts without any grossly visible renal tissue. The final pathologic diagnosis was a renal hydatid cyst. For patients from endemic areas, hydatid cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis. Here, we present a case of renal hydatid cyst in a female patient who relocated from Uzbekistan to Korea.

The disease causing colic is the greatest cause of death in the domestic horse population today and accidental deaths as a result of colic leads to decreased productivity and economic losses in the horse breeding industry. Large colon impaction is the most common cause of colic in horses. Horses may ingest sand either by eating from the ground in sandy locations, or because of its inclusion in hay. In certain areas sand impaction is relatively common. The horse (4 year, female) presented with abdominal pain, which was charactered by willing to lie down, pawing, and looking at flank. A month later, the horse died suddenly at sand paddock. Post-mortem examination revealed the sand impaction as a lot of feces, sand and gravels in the right dorsal colon. In addition, there was necrosis and debilitation in mucosal lining of the large colon and rupture site on the right dorsal colon. The purpose of this article is to review sand impaction and emergencies in Thoroughbred horses.
