Tetralogy of Fallot associated with atrioventricular canal defect is rare congenital anomaly. Because of complexity of the surgical corrections of two associated anomalies, the mortality of surgery has been high. We have experienced a case of the tetralogy of Fallot with atrioventricular canal defect in a 9-year-old boy of Down`s syndrome, and the anomalies were totally corrected with good result. Single Dacron patch was placed to close the ventricular septal defect and the pericardial patch for atrial septal defect. The right ventricular outflow tract was widened by infundibulectomy and pulmonary valvulotomy followed by Goretex patch in right ventricular outflow tract.

For the treatment of bronchial stenosis due to trauma, inflammatory and neoplastic lesion, bronchoplastic procedure in the interest of preservation of lung tissue are relatively new developments in the field of thoracic surgery. We reported on case of bronchoplasty using to pericardial patch for the treatment of bronchial stenosis due to chronic inflammation. The patient was 26 years old female and chief complaint was respiratory difficulty. Bronchogram revealed diffuse stenosis of left main bronchus about 4cm and especially, at just below the carina marked narrowing of lumen and fine serration in the wall. At the time of operation, longitudinal incision was made at left main bronchus about 5cm and reconstructed bronchus using to pericadial patch at membranous compartment of bronchus. The postoperative course was uneventful and post-operative follow up bronchography showed that improvement of bronchoplastic segmented region.

Transdermal patches and polymer membrane were prepared and evaluated for their ability to antiviral agent in vitro. The membrane perpared with styrene and HEMA by 0.5 and 10% of styrene composition. And the transdermal patches were fabricated with this membrane and silastic silicone sheeting. The antiviral agents used were ACV, BVDU and FEAU. The higher HEMA content membranes exhibited relatively high release rate of each drug. Permeation was enhanced by increasing of drug concentration. The parameters of each drug in diffusion experiment with styrene-HEMA membrane were investigated.

Recently, a hyaluronic acid micro needle patch for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes has been used by attaching directly to the skin with a pattern having a micro needle shape of 1/3 thickness of hair. These products are attracting attention as an innovative product that maximizes the effect by activating the active ingredient in the skin in the deep skin without blocking the horny layer because the micro needle shape exists on the patch surface so that it can penetrate effectively to the skin. Currently, DAB (droplet air blowing) or MEMS technology is used to make pattern shapes for patches. Because of this technology, manufacturing time is long and manufacturing cost is high, so we tried to develop the mold technology to machine the microneedle shape directly to the metal. In this study, we first fabricated a needle pattern with a quadrangular pyramid shape and finally produced a conical needle pattern.

In this paper, describes the design of PIFA for PDA which has parasitic patch to expand the impedance bandwidth and miniaturization technique to consider the radiation pattern. To expand the impedance bandwidth, generated resonant frequency of parasitic patch is different from that of main patch. To miniaturize the physical dimension, using the folded edge and rectangular slot. The obtained impedance bandwidth is 9.4% ($2.29GHz{\sim}2.515GHz$) at VSWR${\leqq}$2 and antenna gain is 2dBi within the operating frequency.

Twelve patients had undergone repair of atrioventricular septal defects. Age at operation ranged from 2.4 years to 17 years[mean, 8.25 years]. Five patients were male and seven were female. Three patients had complete atrioventricular septal defect[Rastelli type A] associated with Down`s syndrome. One of the three patient with complete atrioventricular septal defect had tetralogy of Fallot. Three patients had the intermediate form and seven patients had the partial form. The primum atrial septal defect was closed with pericardial patch. The atrioventricular valve septal commissure[mitral cleft] was closed with pledgeted sutures. Three complete atrioventricular septal defect were undergone by two-patch technique. A crescent-shaped Dacron patch was used to occlude the ventricular septal defect. One patient of partial form was sudden death 5 days postoperatively. There were no another complications after surgery. One patient underwent reoperation for opened mitral cleft 2.5 years postoperatively. New York Heart Association functional class of patients was improved postoperatively.

Stages of vegetation development on talus area were studied to examine temporal changes in species composition and vegetation structure, and to elucidate the mechanism of early patch formation. While ground coverage of lichens, which may form substrate for moss colonization and mitigate the heat-stress on rocks, decreased gradully, coverage of mosses increased slightly during primary succession. Ecological role of mossess related with water retention in community may be very important not only at pioneer stage but also at later stages because of little soil development on this talus area. Species diversity and species richness increased during the early stages of succession. Parthenocis년 tricuspidata and Sorbaria sorbifolia var. stellipa dominated in liana stage, Ulmus davidiana for. suberosa and Lindera obtusiloba in shrub stage, and Fraxinus rhynchophylla and Actinidia arguta in subtree stage, however, was composed of mixed forest of several tree species. U. davidiana for. suberosa, L. obtusiloba, Securinega suffruticosa and Rhus chinensis were relatively important woody species in early patch forming process. The results, however, suggested that early establishment on talus area might be strongly associated with chance for safe-site because both pioneer species and later species could take part in early patch forming process.

Fatigue crack growth behavior of inclined cracked Al 6061-T6 thick aluminum plate(6mm) repaired with the bonded composite patch was studied. A 0°inclined crack bonded reinforced composite patch and 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°inclined crack plates were tested. The effect of patch and inclined angle were studied and compared to each other. Also we investigated to the crack propagation direction and debonding behavior during the fatigue crack growth test. In this paper. a study was con(ducted to get an fatigue life, fatigue crack growth ratio and crack growth direction. Finally, the effectiveness of composite patch on inclined cracked plate was investigated. The results demonstrated thats there was a definite variation in fatigue life and fatigue crack growth behavior depending on the inclined crack angle.

In this paper a new concept on z-pinning technology named by authors as 'z-pinning patch' will be introduced, which advantage is easy application at manufacturing site of composite structures. Using the trial manufactured z-pinning patch, the z-pinned composite single-lap shear joint specimens were successfully manufactured and tested to check the improvement of joint strengths. The z-pin's material is stainless steel and its surface was machined as zagged shape and chemically corroded to improve joint force with composite materials.

The objectives of this study were to prepare a new artificial eardrum patch using water-insoluble chitosan for healing the tympanic membrane perforations and to investigate biomechanical properties and cyotoxicity of the chitosan patch scaffold (CPS). Tensile strength and elongation at the rupture point of CPSs were 2.49-74.05 MPa and 0.11-107.06%, respectively. As the biomechanical properties or CPSs varied with the concentration of chitosan and glycerol, the proper conditions for the CPS were found out. SEM analysis showed very smooth and uniform surface of CPSs without pores at x1000. The result of MTT test showed that CPSs had no cytotoxicity.
