The purpose of this study was to attempt to lay the foundation for the development of oral health programs geared toward promoting the oral health of low socioeconomic class children. The subjects in this study were 257 school children who used local children's centers. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. The children mean scored 5.74 on oral health knowledge. 2. In terms of oral health awareness, 47.1% viewed the right toothbrushing as the best way to stay away from dental caries. 3. 45% of the subjects reported toothbrushing at least three times daily. 21.4% visited dental institutions three or more times in the past year. 33.1% had never undergone application of fluoride. 30.4% had never received oral health education. 4. The mean level of caries was 4.61 dft index in 1-2th grade, 3.27 DMFT index in 5-6th grade, 1.47 DMFT index in the 3-4th grad and 1.19 DMFT index in the 1-2th grade. 5. The mean level of Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP index) was 3.59, and there was no significant association was pound between PHP index and grade. 6. Oral health behavior wasn't affected by their oral health awareness, and knowledge.

It has been known that the shear strength of soil is an important design parameter for the foundation of structures, the retaining walls, the slope failures and so forth. In this study, the shear test was performed by using the direct shear apparatus under various degree of the moisture content and the density of the sample soils. The results of the study were summarized as follows; 1. The shear strength of soil increased with increase in the dry density of soil, and at the same level of density of the sample the shear strength of soil showed large values on a good grading of the sample. 2. The cohesion of the soil varied directly with the dry density of it, however the internal friction angle of soil was not affected by the dry density of tile sample. 3. The shear strength of sample varied inversly with the moisture content of it, and this phenomenon was apparent on a good grad ing of sample. 4. The cohesion of soil showed maximum value when the moisture content of the soil reached optimum level and the internal friction angle decreased with increase in the moisture content of it. These phenomena were very obvious on a good grading sample, SDC-1. 5. The cohesion of the soil decreased with increase in void ratio of the sample, but the internal friction angle of the sample didn't show such tendency.

Purpose : To confirm the efficacy of arthroscopic synovectomy fur the pigmented villonodular synovitis in the knee. Materials and Methods : Between October 1996 and February 2000, the arthroscopic synovectomy had been performed in six patients(six knee joints), whose diagnoses were confirmed by pathologist. All patients complained of painful swelling in involved knee and four of the six patients had trauma history. There were three male and three female patients. Average age was 35.8 years ranging from 16 to 67 years. Follow up period was average 22.7 months(range, $13\~53$ months). Results : According to arthroscopic findings, there were three localized forms and three diffuse forms. At their last follow-up examinations, all patients had improvement in pain, swelling and range of motion and there was no evidence of recurrence. Conclusion : Complete arthroscopic excision is the definitive treatment for localized pigmented villonodular synovitis and meticulous arthroscopic excision through all portals including posterior portal can be considered as a valid alternative to traditional open synovectomy for the patients with diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis.

The aim of this study was to investigate the periodontal response according to the timing of orthodontic force application after bone graft into the angular bony defect. Nine dogs were divided into three groups, 2, 4, and 6 weeks, according to the timing of orthodontic force application after bone graft. Periodontal angular bony defects were created surgically at the distal aspect of both maxillary third incisors. Two weeks later, flap operation was performed to eliminate inflammation and reference notch was made on the root surface at the level of the bottom of each defect. Demineralized freeze-dried bone was implanted on the left side whereas only debridement was done on the other side. Experimental tooth movement was executed during 8 weeks on both graft and non-graft sides. After 2 weeks of retention period, animals were sacrificed for histologic specimens. The results were obtained as follows 1 New bone formation was more pronounced in the graft side than in the non-grad side in all experimental animals. 2. In the 6-week group, new bone and cementum formation was observed in more than half from the notch to the cemento-enamel junction, and the zone of connective tissue attachment was found without apical migration of junctional epithelium. 3. In the 4-week group, the amount of new bone formation was smaller than in the 6-week group whereas the overall remodeling pattern was similar. 4. New bone formation was confined to around the notch and the junctional epithelium migrated apically to the level of the notch with no connective tissue attachment and cementum formation in the 2-week group. The results of the present study suggest that periodontal response may be influenced by the timing of orthodontic force application after bone graft into angular bony defect.

Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt zwei Ziele: zum einen sollen die Entwicklungen in der modernen zweisprachigen Lexikographie mit Ausgangssprache Deutsch skizzenhaft vorgestellt und einige Forschungsdefizite benannt werden, zum anderen sollen die Ergebnisse und Methoden der neueren Lexikographie anhand von Beispielartikeln der drei $einschl\"{a}gigen$ deutsch-koreanischen $Gro{\ss}w\"{o}rterblicher$ kontrastiert und diskutiert werden. Zuerst wird eine Typologie der zweisprachigen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}cher$ erstellt, derzufolge es jeweils 2 aktive und 2 passive Worterblicher pro Sprachenpaar gibt. Das Aktiv-Passiv­Prinzip gilt als ein grundlegender Ausgangspunkt $f\"{u}r$ die zweisprachige Lexikographie. Eine Erweiterung der Unterscheidungskriterien scheint nicht $zweckm\"{a}{\ss}ig$ und angesichts praktischer Schwierigkeiten auch kaum realisierbar. $Pl\"{a}diert\;wird\;f\"{u}r\;eine\;st\"{a}rkere\;Ber\"{u}cksichtigung$ der Benutzungssituationen, zu denen z.B. der Grad der Sprachbeherr­schung der jeweiligen Benutzergruppe, die $m\"{o}glichen\;Benutzungsanl\"{a}sse$, der Kenntnisstand $bez\"{u}glich$ der Benutzerhinweise sowie die technische Geschicklichkeit bei der $W\"{o}rterbuch-benutzung\;etc.\;zu\;z\"{a}hlen$ sind. In makrostruktueller Hinsicht werden die Selektion und die Anordnung der Lemmata diskutiert. Bei der Lemmaauswahl $w\"{a}re\;es\;w\"{u}nschenswert$, auf der Grundlage eines Lemmavergleiches der verschiedensten Quellenworterbucher ein datenbasiertes Korpus zu erstellen. Dazu $k\"{o}nnten$ folgende Materialien ausgewertet werden: (1) einsprachige allgemeine (ad spezielle) $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}cher$ (z.B. Deutsch/Koreanisch), (2) zweisprachige allgemeine (od spezielle) Worterblicher (z.B. Deutsch-Koreanisch, Deutsch-Englisch) etc. Die $blo{\ss}e\;\"{U}bersetzung$ lediglich eines einzigen $Quellenw\"{o}rterbuches\;k\"{o}nnte$ dagegen zu $unerw\"{u}nschten\;Einseitigkeiten\;f\"{u}hren$. Was die Anordnung der Lemmata in zweisprachigen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}chern$ betrifft, $k\"{o}nnen$ dieselben drei makrostrukturellen Typen unterschieden werden, wie in einsprachigen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}chern$: (1) glattalphabetisch, (2) nischenalphabetisch, (3) nestalphabetisch. Unter den zu untersuchenden $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}chern$ weisen das EDK und das HDK die nischenalpha­betische Makrostruktur auf, das MDK ist dagegen nestalphabetisch angeordnet. Je nachdem, wie die Polysemiestruktur und die Mehr-Wort-Einheit kombinieren, werden die drei Arten der Mikrostruktur unterschieden: (1) die integrierte Mikrostruktur, (2) die nichtintegrierte Mikrostruktur, (3) die partiell integrierte Mikrostruktur. $W\"{a}hrend$ das EDK und das HDKeine integrierte Mikrostruktur besitzen, weist das HDK eine partiell integrierte Mikrostruktur auf. Die Artikelgestaltung durch die nichtintegrierte Mikrostruktur, die $h\"{a}ufig$ in der zweisprachigen Lexikographie angewandt wird und entsprechende Vorteile besitzt, sallte $k\"{u}nftig\;als\;Gestaltungsm\"{o}glichkeit\;st\"{a}rker$in Betracht gezogen werden. In Bezug auf die Organisation der Mikrostruktur werden vier Bauteile, das sind Lemma-, $\"{A}quivalent-$, Diskriminator- und Beispielangaben untersucht. Die $\"{U}bersetzungs\"{a}quivalente$ werden je nach dem lexikalisch-semantischen Abdeckungsgrad mit dem Lemma in drei Typen eingeteilt: (1) $Voll\"{a}quivalent,\;(2)\;Teil\"{a}quivalent,\;(3)\;Null\"{a}quivalent$. In der Mehrheit kommen die Teil- oder $Null\"{a}quivalente$ vor, weil die ausgangssprachlichen Lemmata und die zielsprachlichen $\"{A}quivalente$ in sich Polysemiestruktur aufweisen. $Informationsm\"{a}ngel$ auszugleichen ist die Funktion des Diskriminators, in dem Glosse, Markierungen und metasprachliche $Erl\"{a}uterungen$ zusammenwirken. $Verbesserungsw\"{u}rdig\;sind\;die\;g\"{a}ngigen$ deutsch-koreanischen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}cher$ var allem im Hinblick auf die stilistischen Markierungen; die Inkongruenz des Stils zwischen den beiden verschiedenen Sprachen wird bislang zu wenig $ber\"{u}cksichtigt$ und sagar in ein und demselben $W\"{o}rterbuch$ nicht konsequent dargestellt. Trotz der relativen $Geringsch\"{a}tzung$ von Beispielangaben in der $europ\"{a}ischen$ zweisprachigen passiven Lexikographie sallte diesen in deutsch-koreanischen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}chern$ mehr Aufmerksamkeit gewidrnet werden. Sie sind dem koreanischen Benutzer eine wichtige Hilfe, indem sie die $\"{A}quivalentenangaben\;implizite\;erg\"{a}nzen$ und Informationen $\"{u}ber$ die syntaktisch-semantische und pragmatische Kontextrestriktion bieten. $Dar\"{u}berhinaus$ stellen sie selbst interessante kulturelle, geistige und landeskundliche etc. Informationen dar. Was den Artikelaufbau betrifft, wird das Van Dale-Modell diskutiert, d.h. das kategoriell-semantisch-alphabetische Prinzip, das trotz mancher Kritikpunkte viele interessante Anregungen $f\"{u}r$ die zweisprachige Lexikographie Deutsch-Koreanisch bietet, wo z.B. noch nicht die $Pr\"{a}positionen$ in der Beispielangabe durch typographische Hervorhebung $pr\"{a}sentiert$ worden sind. Aus $Platzgr\"{u}nden$ sind hier nur wenige Beispielartikel mit substantivischen Lemmata $angef\"{u}hrt$ und analysiert worden. Um die $h\"{o}here$ Generalisierbarkeit zu erreichen, brauchen die Untersuchungs- materialien mindestens einen bestimmten Umfang. Derartige empirische Forschungen $k\"{o}nnen$ als Impulse dazu beitragen, $k\"{u}nftige\;W\"{o}rterb\"{u}cher$ im Sinne einer $Ber\"{u}cksichtigung$ neuerer lexikographischer Erkenntnisse verbessern zu helfen.

We define $21^{st}$ century as an amalgamation of globalization and localization, or Glocalization. Additionally, due to the increasing supply of smart phones and wide usage of social networking services, the ability to utilize such global and regional information has increased a coperation's competitiveness in its market, and even the business models have evolved from the conventional "production and distribution" to E-commerce, through which either a direct or a non-direct transaction is possible. My hypothesis is that the ability to adapt to this trend is possible through transfer of learning, and consequently, this will have an impact on company's performance. Thus, this thesis analyzes the mid- to the long-term impact of such ability and environmental factors on the performance and technology innovation of Korean companies in China. Ultimately, this study intends to engender a basic foundation for a corporation's management strategy in China. Finally this research focuses on those Korean companies in China only and on the proof of influential factors' impact on technological innovation and technological innovation's impact on those corporations' future performances. Section I is an abstract and section II, the case examines the uniqueness and current status of Korean companies in China identifies the concept and the definition of influential factors such as education-orientation, technological innovation, and performance, and then scrutinizes each factors through a closer look at their past researches. Section III explains the thesis model, the survey's method and target, the thesis, variable factors, the content, and the method of analysis. In section IV, the thesis is proved based on the outcome of the survey. The result in Section V highlights the high comprehension of technological innovation: both education-orientation and technological innovation prove to have a positive (+) correlation with the performance. The vision on education orientation proves to have a positive (+) influence on technological innovation. The vision on education-orientation and technological innovation prove to have a positive (+) influence individually on company's performance.

This study was attempted to find out how the ecological niche and interspecies relationship of Quercus aliena and Q. serrata, which are the main constituents of potential natural vegetation along the riverside of mountains in Korea, under climate change conditions. To this end, soil moisture and soil nutrients were treated with 4 grad ients under climate change conditions with elevated CO₂ and temperature, plants we re harvested at the end of the growing season, growth responses of traits were measured, ecological niche breadth and overlap were calculated, and it was compared with that of the control group(ambient condition). In addition, the relationship between the two species was analyzed by principal component analysis using trait values. As a result, the ecological niche breadth of Q. aliena was wider than that of Q. serrata under the moisture environment conditions under climate change. Under nutrient conditions, the ecological niche of the two species were similar. In addition, the ecological overlap for soil moisture of Q. aliena and Q. serrata was wider than the soil nutrient gradient under climate change. The species with traits in which the increase in ecological niche breadth due to climate change occurred more than the decrease was Q. aliena in both water and nutrient gradients. And in the responses of the population level, due to climate change, the adaptability of Q. aliena was higher than that of Q. serrata under the soil moisture condition, but the two species were similar under the nutrient condition. These results mean that the competition between the two species occurs more severely in the water environment under climate change conditions, and at that time, Q. aliena has higher adaptability than Q. serrata.

Purpose : This retrospective study has been undertaken to find out the clinical outcome of children with HS nephntis and its relationship with initial clinical presentation and/or renal pathologic finding. Patients and methods : Study population consisted of 59 children with HS nephritis who have been admitted to the Pediatric department of Kyungpook University Hospital from 1987 to 1999, and biopsy was done with indications of heavy proteinuria (> 1 g/m2/day) lasting over 1 month, nephrotic syndrome, and persistent hematuria and/or proteinuria over 1 year. Patients were divided clinically into 3 groups ; isolated hematuria, hematuria with proteinuria and heavy proteinuria (including nephrotic syndrome). Biopsy findings ore graded from I-V according to International Study of Kidney Disease in Children (ISKDC). Results : Mean age of presentation was $8.1{\pm}3.0$ years and slight male preponderance m noted (33 boys md 26 girls). Histopathologic grading showed Grade I ; 2, Grade II ; 44, and Grade III ; 13 cases. Clinical outcome at the follow-up period of 1-2 year (49 cases) and 3-4 years (30 cases) shooed normal urinalysis in 75 (30.6$\%$) and 18 cases (60.0$\%$), persistent isolated hematuria in 20 (40.8$\%$) and 2 cases (6.7$\%$), hematuria with proteinuria in 11 (22.5$\%$) and 8 cases (26.6$\%$), and persistent heavy proteinuria in 3 (6.1$\%$) and 2 cases (6.7$\%$) respectively. Clinical outcome according to histopathologic grading showed the frequency of normalization of urinalysis being lower in Grade III compared to grade I or II. Clinical outcome according to initial clinical presentation showed no relationship to the normalization or urinalysis at follow-up periods. However, 15-20$\%$ of children with initial heavy proteinuria showed persistent heavy proteinuria (3 out of 20 cases at 1-2 years, and 2 out of 10 case at 3-4 years of follow-up periods). Conclusion : The majority of children with HS nephritis (histopathologic grade I, II, III) improved within 3-4 years and persistent heavy proteinuria was seen only in a kw of children with initial clinical presentation of heavy proteinuria.

Background : Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) is a devastating illness for which there is little effective treatment. The key cytokines currently implicated in the fibrotic process are the transforming growth factor-${\beta}_1$(TGF-${\beta}_1$), tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$(TNF-$\alpha$), endothelin-1(ET-1) and interferon-$\gamma$(IFN-$\gamma$). The rat model for paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis was chosen to investigate the role of ET-1 in this disease. Both ET-1 and TGF-${\beta}_1$ expression in lung lesions were examined using immunohistochemical staining. After $Bosentan^{(R)}$ administration, an orally active ET-$l_A$ and ET-$1_B$ receptor antagonist, the degree of pulmonary fibrosis and ET-1 and TGF-${\beta}_1$ expression were analyzed. Method : Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups, the control group, the fibrosis group, and the fibrosis-$Bosentan^{(R)}$-treated group. The animals were sacrificed periodically at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 days after administering saline or paraquat. The effects between groups were compared with the results of light microscopy and immunohistochemical staining for ET-1 and TGF-${\beta}_1$. The degree of fibrosis was evaluated by H&E and Masson's trichrome staining, which were graded by a computerized image analyzer. The degree of immunohistochemical staining was categorized by a semi-quantitative analysis method. Results : The lung collagen content had increased in the paraquat instillated animals by day 3, and continued to increase up to day 14. A daily treatment by gavage with $Bosentan^{(R)}$ (100mg/kg) did not prevent the increase in collagen deposition on the lung that was induced by paraquat instillation. There were increased immunohistochemical stains of ET-1 on the exudate, macrophages, vascular endothelial cells and pneumocytes in the paraquat instillated group. Furthermore, TGF-${\beta}_1$ expression was higher on the exudate, macrophages, some inflammatory cells, pneumocytes( type I, and II), vascular endothelium and the respiratory epithelial cells around the fibrotic area. After Bosentan treatment, there were no definite changes in ET-1 and TGF-${\beta}_1$ expression. Conclusion : Fibrosis of the Paraquat instillated group was more advanced when compared with the control group. In addition, there was increased ET-1 and TGF-${\beta}_1$ expression around the fibrotic area. ET-1 is associated with lung fibrosis but there was little effect of the ET-1 receptor blocker($Bosentan^{(R)}$) on antifibrosis.Background : Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) is a devastating illness for which there is little effective treatment.
