A 33-year-old man presented to the plastic surgery department for foreign body removal 1 month after the insertion of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor (Dexcom G5) in the left upper arm. The patient had used the CGM system for 5 years, and the insertion was done in the usual manner. The entire sensor wire was visible on simple radiography and ultrasonography. In the operating room, and the sensor wire was identified in the intermuscular septum and removed. No foreign body reaction or inflammatory signs were found around the CGM, and the extracted wire measured 2.5 cm. Thus, it was assumed that the whole sensor wire was detached from the transmitter, not fractured. No remnant foreign body was observed on follow-up simple radiography.

The national long-term R&D program, updated in 1997, requires Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute(KAERI) to complete by the year 2006 the basic design of Korea Advanced Liquid Metal Reactor(KALIMER), along with supporting R&D work, with the capability of resolving the issue of spent fuel storage as well as with significantly enhanced safety. KALIMER is a 150 MWe pool-type sodium cooled prototype reactor that uses metallic fuel. The conceptual design is currently under way to establish a self-consistent design meeting a set of major safety design requirements for accident prevention. Some of the current emphasis includes those for inherent and passive means of negative reactivity insertion and decay heat removal, high shutdown reliability, prevention of and protection from sodium chemical reaction, and high seismic margin, among others. All of these requirements affect the reactor design significantly and involve extensive supporting R&D programs. This paper summarizes some of the results of conceptual engineering and design analyses performed for the safety of HAMMER in the area of inherent safety, passive decay heat removal, sodium water reaction, and seismic isolation.

Purpose: Absorbable implants are frequently used to fix facial bone fractures, because they are radiolucent and compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite their increasing usage, however, there have been few reports about their long-term side-effects. In this paper, a case in which absorbable implants led to a foreign body reaction 17 months after their insertion is presented. Methods: A previously healthy 19-year-old male fell from a flight of stairs and visited the authors' hospital with right periorbital pain. Zygomaticomaxillary fracture involving right orbital floor was detected via a facial bone computed tomography (CT). Internal fixation with absorbable implants was followed by open reduction. 17 months after the surgery, the patient complained of localized periorbital swelling. Removal of the granulomatous lesion including the absorbable implants along with their biopsy and culture was performed. Results: The granulomatous lesion around the implants was firm and extended into the maxillary sinus. The histologic finding showed a microabscess with a foreign body reaction. Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus growth was confirmed in the culture. No definite abnormal symptoms ensued after the complete removal. Conclusion: A microabscess-forming granulomatous lesion around the absorbable implant can cause delayed symptomatic foreign body reaction despite its rare occurrence. Complete removal of the lesion including implants is expected to have a successful outcome if it is encountered.

The purpose of this study was to compare the ground reaction forces and plantar pressure variables among three different safety shoes (Type 1: ergonomically designed and high quality shoes, 2: curved and cushioned safety hoes, and 3: regular safety shoes) and to find the effect of insole during walking. Ten healthy subjects were recruited for this study. The ground reaction force was measured using a 3 dimensional motion analysis system. Plantar pressures were measured Pedar Mobile foot pressure scan system. The ground reaction force variables were not significantly different among three different shoe types and insole conditions. After insertion insole, plantar pressure distributions were improved. These results suggest that the type 1 safety shoes was superior than other safety shoes in the statistics, and applying insole could be a possible method to prevent fatigue of lower extremity and musculoskeletal disorders. Further studies are needed to find the effect of ergonomically designed safety shoes design and insole on practical value prevention of musculoskeletal disorder, fatigue and satisfaction of workers.

Seven Escherichia coli cells defective with aerobic growth were isolated by the insertion of ${\lambda}placMu53$, a hybrid bacteriophage of ${\lambda}$ and Mu, which created a transcriptional fusion to lacZY. These insertion mutant cells were tested on an XG ($5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-{\beta}-D-galactopyranoside$) medium for anaerobic expression of lacZ by fusion to a promoter. The chromosomal DNA from these strains were digested by EcoRI, and the EcoRI fragments that contained the fused gene and lacZ sequence were identified by Southern hybridization, using lacZ containing plasmid as a probe. The EcoRI fragment from each strain was cloned and sequenced. The sequence data were compared with the GenBank database. The mutated gene of three strains, CYT4, CYT5, and OS11, was found to be identical, and it was nrdAB that encoded ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase. The gene nrdAB was at min 50.5 on the Escherichia coli linkage map and 2,348,084 on the physical map, and is involved in hemAe-related reduction-oxidation reaction. OS6 and OS14 mutant strains had insertion at min 8.3 and the mutated gene was hemB. The hemB encodes 5-aminolevulinate dehydratase or porphobilinogen synthase. The OS3 mutant had insertion in cydB at min 16.6. The cydAB encodes cytochrome d oxidase. In the case of OS1, the fusion was made with sucA, the E1 component of ${\alpha}-ketoglutarate$ dehydrogenase.

Purpose: To examine the effects on skin injury, pain, and anxiety when nurses and children simultaneous wash their hands before IV injections. Method: A nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized design study was used with 61 children. For a month and a half, children in the experimental group(30) following hand-washing guidelines, washed their hands with nurses before IV insertion. Anxiety and pain were observed and recorded during IV insertion using the Anxiety Reaction Scale and FACES pain scale. After 48-72 hours on IV therapy with an arm-board, skin condition was checked by a research assistant according to guidelines for assessing skin injury developed by the researcher. t-test, ${\chi}^2$-test, Pearson correlation, and Kendall's tau b were used to analyze data with the SPSS program. Results: Children who washed their hands with the nurse before IV insertion showed less pain (p =.021) and skin injury (p <.001) compared to the control group. Conclusion: This finding suggests that simultaneous hand washing by nurse and child before IV injection has a strong effect on skin injury caused by arm-boards used to maintain IV therapy as well as on pain during IV insertion. This program demonstrates an effective intervention to prevent skin injuries in children on IV therapy.

The reaction mechanism between azacyclopropenylidene and epoxypropane has been systematically investigated employing the second-order M${\o}$ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) method to better understand the reactivity of azacyclopropenylidene with four-membered ring compound epoxypropane. Geometry optimization, vibrational analysis, and energy property for the involved stationary points on the potential energy surface have been calculated. It was found that for the first step of this reaction, azacyclopropenylidene can insert into epoxypropane at its C-O or C-C bond to form spiro intermediate IM. It is easier for the azacyclopropenylidene to insert into the C-O bond than the C-C bond. Through the ring-opened step at the C-C bond of azacyclopropenylidene fragment, IM can transfer to product P1, which is named as pathway (1). On the other hand, through the H-transferred step and subsequent ring-opened step at the C-N bond of azacyclopropenylidene fragment, IM can convert to product P2, which is named as pathway (2). From the thermodynamics viewpoint, the P2 characterized by an allene is the dominating product. From the kinetic viewpoint, the pathway (1) of formation to P1 is primary.

본 연구는 에너지 밀도와 승온효과가 큰 화학 열펌프시스템 개발을 위해 무기 수화물계인$Ca(OH)_2/CaO$ 원주형 충전층내 핀을 주입 전열 촉진한 경우에 있어서 반응촉진 효과의 이론적 평가를 행하였다. 그 결과 충전층내 수화 탈수 반응시 반응층내 시간에 따른 온도 분포변화 및 반응율 분포에 대한 수치 해석 결과 전열핀 주입에 따른 반응완결 시간이 절반이하로 줄일 수 있다고 한 실험결과와 잘 일치됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 해석결과 열화학 반응은 주로 온도 및 농도에 의존하였고 경계조건과 입자 충전층의 열전도에 의해 크게 좌우됨을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 LTCC 공정에 기반을 둔 GSM/DCS dual band 의 소형화된 antenna switch module을 공정변수 따른 특성의 왜곡을 안정화시키는 연구를 수행하였다. 특히 tape thickness의 변화에 따라 패턴간의 기생 커플링이 주된 변수로 작용한다. 두께 50um인 tape으로 제작된 시편의 사이즈는 $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}0.8 mm^3$이고 insertion loss는 Rx mode와 Tx mode 각각 ldB. 1.2dB 이하이다. 공정상에서 tape thickness의 변화에 따라 개발된 모듈의 특성 안정성을 검증하기 위해 각 블록-다이플렉서,필터, 바이어스 회로-을 probing method을 이용, 측정하였고, 각 블록간의 상호관계는 VSWR을 계산하여 비교하였다. 또한 회로적 관점에서 특성 개선을 위해 바이어스 회로부분의 집중소자형과 분포소자형을 구현하여 서로 비교 분석하였다. 이를 통해 각 블록의 측정과 계산된 VSWR의 데이터는 공정변수에 의해 변화된 전체 module의 특성과 안정성 거동을 파악하는데 좋은 정보를 준다. Tape thickness변화에도 불구하고 다이플렉스의 matching값은 연결되는 바이어스 회로와 LPF의 matching값과 상대 matching이 되면서, 낮은 VSWR을 유지하여 전체 insertion loss가 안정화되는 것을 확인하였다. 더불어 분포소자형 바이어스 회로보다는 집중소자형이 다른 회로블럭과의 관계에서 더 좋은 매칭을 이루어 loss개선에 일조하였다. Tape thickness가 6 um이상의 변화를 가져와도 집중소자형 바이어스 회로는 낮은 손실을 유지하여 더 넓은 안정 범위를 가져오기 때문에 양산에 적합한 구조가 될 수 있다 그리고, probing method에 의한 안정성 특성 추출은 세라믹에 임베디드된 수동회로들의 개발에 충분히 적용될 수 있다.
