  • 간흡충증은 한국 및 동남아세아에 널리 분포되어 있는 중요한 풍토병의 하나로서 진단은 전통적으로 분변검사에 의존하여 오고 있다. 최근 들어 담관내 간흡충 및 이의 합병증의 진단을 위해 ERCP 및 contrast cholangiogram등이 시도되었으나 실제에 이용하기에는 많은 제약이 있다 하겠다. 저자는 간흡충증에 있어서 최근 소개된 $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ hepatobiliary scintigraphy의 진단적 의의를 규명하고자 1982년부터 1983년까지 고신의대 부속 복음병원에서 검진한 간흡충증 환자 90명을 대상으로 하여 $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ hepatobiliary scintigraphy와 formalin-ether 원침법에 의한 분변검사를 시행하였다. $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ scintigram소견은 간내 담관 bile flow 및 총수담관 bile flow defect, 그리고 간세포기능의 정도에 따라 자료를 분석하였고 그외 합병증의 진단은 병록 기록, 수술 소견, ERCP 등에 의존하여 결론을 얻었다. $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ scintigraphy는 특이한 양상의 bile flow dynamics를 나타내었으며 간내 주담관의 intermittent irregular focal bile flow defect 및 tile flow stasis를 나타내고 말초담관의 bile flow defect는 경미하고 60분 내에 담관 bile flow activity의 완전한 배설을 나타내는 경우를 mild pattern, 간내 담관의 심한 irregular bile flow dynamics 및 간내담관의 심한 irregularity (담관내벽의 심한 불규칙성), 총수담관, 간내 주담관 및 말초 담관까지 심하게 irregular bile flow stasis를 나타내며 bile flow activity의 완전 베설이 $60\sim90$분사이 혹은 90분이상까지 인지된 경우를 moderate-severe pattern으로 분류하였다. 1) 분변검사상 간흡충증은 95검사중 70검사(환자 86명중 67명)에서 양성을 보여 분변 충난검사의 양성율은 73.7%였고 음성율은 26.3%였다. 2) $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ hepatobiliary scintigraphy는 90명중 70명에서 특이한 Cs-bile flow양성을 보였으며 양성율은 77.8%였으며 음성율은 22.2%였다. 3) $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ hepatobiliary scintigram양성율을 나타낸 환자 70명중 11명은 mild pattern, 59명은 moderate-severe pattern을 나타냈으며 그중 21명은 여러가지 간세포 기능 및 담관에 영향을 미치는 질환과 합병했지만 특이한 Cs-bile flow pattern을 dominent하게 나타내었으며 합병된 여러 질환들도 bile flow pattern상 인지 할 수 있었다. 4) $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ hepatobiliary scintigram 음성율을 나타낸 환자 20명중 8명은 만성간염, 5명은 간경변증, 3명은 재발성 농양성담관염(recurrent pyogenic cholangitis)과 간내담도의 stricture 및 담관담석증이 합병되었으며 scintigram상 합병증의 pattern을 나타냈고 4명에서는 low CBD obstruction을 나타내었으며 후에 CBD stone, CBD carcinoma, gall bladder Ca.의 porta hepatis 전이 및 clonorchis worms의 cluster에 의한 obstruction이 operation 및 ERCP로서 진단 되었다. 5) $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ hepatobiliary scintigraphy pattern은 현재의 자각증상과 관계된 dominent disease를 나타내었으며, 공간 점유병소도 multiple project images를 시행하므로서 쉽게 발견할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 간흡충증에 있어서 $^{99m}Tc-DISIDA$ hepatobiliary scintigram은 환자의 자각증상과 관계된 질환을 규명하는 데 필요한 정보를 얻었을 수 있었으며 간내담관의 damage정도를 규명하는데 필요한 procedure임이 판명되었다.

  • This study revealed the differences in runoff processes of granite drainage basins in Korea and Mongolia by hydrological measurements in the field. The experimental drainage basins are chosen in Korea (K-basin) and Mongolia (M-basin). Occurrence of intermittent flow in K-basin possibly implies that very quick discharge dominates. The very high runoff coefficient implies that most of effective rainfall quickly discharge by throughflow or pipeflow. The Hortonian overlandflow is thought to almost not occur because of high infiltration capacity originated by coarse grain sized soils of K- basin. Very little baseflow and high runoff coefficient also suggest that rainfall almost does not infiltrate into bedrocks in K-basin. Flood runoff coefficient in M-basin shows less than 1 %. This means that most of rainfall infiltrates or evaporates in M-basin. Runoff characteristics of constant and gradually increasing discharge imply that most of rainfall infiltrates into joint planes of bedrock and flow out from spring very slowly. The hydrograph peaks are sharp and their recession limbs steep. Very short time flood with less than 1-hour lag time in M-basin means that overland flow occurs only associating with rainfall intensity of more than 10 mm/hr. When peak lag time shows less than 1 hour for the size of drainage area of 1 to 10 km2, Hortonian overland flow causes peak discharge (Jones, 1997). The results of electric conductivity suggest that residence time in soils or weathered mantles of M-basin is longer than that of K-basin. Qucik discharge caused by throughflow and pipeflow occurs dominantly in K-basin, whereas baseflow more dominantly occur than quick discharge in M-basin. Quick discharge caused by Hortonian overlandflow only associating with rainfall intensity of more than 10 mm/hr in M-basin.

  • An intact male, 3-year old, Sapsari, weighing 29 kg with a history of respiratory distress, anorexia, abdominal distension, and depression for 1 day was referred. Radiographic findings included a C-shaped soft tissue mass in the mid-abdominal cavity and loss of serosal detail. Ultrasonographs showed splenomegaly with hypoechoic coarse parenchyma, loss of venous flow in the dilated splenic veins, and thrombi. Based on image findings, acute isolated splenic torsion was diagnosed. Splenectomy and prophylactic gastropexy was performed. Another case was a spayed female, 8-year old, Shih-tzu, weighing 3.7 kg with a history of intermittent abdominal pain and a palpable abdominal mass for 1 year. Radiographic findings showed splenomegaly characterized by a soft tissue round mass. Ultrasonographs revealed displaced splenic hilum and absence of venous flow in the dilated splenic vein. Chronic isolated splenic torsion was diagnosed and also splenectomy and gastropexy was performed. Two dogs were recovered normally after surgery without any complications. Acute form of isolated splenic torsion showed acute systemic clinical signs, severe C-shaped splenomegaly on radiographs, and loss of all of splenic venous flow, perivenous hyperechoic triangle sign, and thrombi on ultrasonographs. Chronic form of isolated splenic torsion showed chronic obscure clinical signs, moderate splenomegaly on radiographs, and partial loss of splenic venous flow on ultrasonographs.

  • Intermittent duty of emergency generator has problems emitting large quantities of PM and NOx in exhaust gas. The aim of this study is to propose DPF system which can be applied to medium-large emergency generators. The system is composed of soot dust collector, silencer and filter trap, which is designed to reduce PM emissions at the emergency generator start-up. The pneumatic system controls a flow direction of exhaust gas to pass through the soot collector and filter trap until the engine reaches complete combustion condition. An experiment is performed to measure PM content and concentration to analyze the performance and characteristics of the proposed system.

  • Laboratory bioassays were conducted to test the acute toxicity effects of sudden exposure to sodium cyanide (NaCN) on the endogenous rhythm of the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in the black rockfish Sebastes schlegeli. The OCR of the black rockfish(n = 14, total length = $20.4{\pm}1.16\;cm$, wet weight = $158{\pm}25\;g$) was measured with an automatic intermittent-flow-respirometer. OCR decreased significantly when experimental fish were exposed to NaCN. When exposed to 10 ppb NaCN, fish were able to recover their OCR rhythmic activities. When fish were exposed to 20 ppb, however, the metabolic activity rhythms were not recovered. These results suggest that exposure to NaCN concentrations over 20 ppb cause severe physiological damage to the endogenous rhythms of black rockfish.

  • A 37-year old man was admitted due to the left subauricular mass of 6 month duration which was 3 x 4cm sized, pulsatile and slowly growing He was suffered from the intermittent left facial and auricular pain radiating to the occipital area. The carotid angiography revealed 3x4cm sized saccular aneurysm of the left internal carotid artery just above the carotid bifurcation, extending to the mandibular angle level. He was planned to be operated under the direct clamp of internal carotid artery or shunting procedure. But, the back pressure of the internal carotid was 35mmHg, which suggested adequate cerebral collateral. Thereby, aneurysmectomy and restoration of cerebral blood flow with saphenous vein graft was done under the direct clamp of internal carotid artery for 25 minutes. Although mild transient neurologic sequelae such as mydriasis, tongue deviation for 10 days, he recovered completely without any complication. The aneurysmal sac had no thrombus and pathologic finding was compatible with congenital origin.

  • An experimental facility consisting of two 3$\times$4.4$\times$2.8m rooms identical in construction is built. Each room has a control system and storage tank supplying hot water to the radiant floor heating system. The facility enables simultaneous comparison of two different control strategies each implemented in a separate room. The operating performance of three kinds of flow control scheme is tested and compared in this study: (ⅰ) conventional on-off control based on feedback from room air temperature (ⅱ) TPSC(two parameter switching control )(ⅲ) TPOC(two parameter on-off control). Results show that TPSC and TPOC using room air and surface temperature sequentially as feedback signal to control hot water supply is the better temperature regulation scheme than conventional control based on feedback from only room air temperature. They are good candidates for the room with radiant floor heating system under continuous and intermittent heating mode.

  • Total atherosclerotic obstruction of the juxtarenal abdominal aorta is a relatively rarely encountered form of atherosclerotic vascsular disease, accounting for less than 5% of all arterial obstrutive disease. We have encountered two patients with such lesions, both of whom were admitted for intermittent claudication of the lower extremities and symptoms of vascular ischemia. Digital subtraction angiography[DSA] was performed on both patients, the results of which revealed total obstruction of the aorta just inferior to the renal arteries without involving the latter. Operative technique involved the use of the sup-raceliac aorta as the site of proximal anastomosis of aortofemoral bypass followed by a fem-orofemoral bypass graft with Smm sized Woven Dacron[Vascutek] through a subcutaneous tunnel within the retroperitoneal space. Both patients experienced restoration of blood flow distal to the obstruction postoperatively without any complications, and OPD follow-up one month postoperatively and postoperative DSA showed evidence of continued graft patency with persistent symptomatic improvement.

  • A field study was performed to investigate the effect of water saving irrigation method on water use efficiency and rice yield. The field plot was 40a (40 ${\times}$ 100m) in size and located at Buryangmyun, Kimjae city, Chonbuk province. Field measurements were made during the growing seasons, May to September of the year 1998 and 1990. Irrigation water volume, drainage water volume, rainfall and ponding depth were measured. Irrigation water management practice employed was such that to keep the ponding depth about 3 to 4cm by intermittent irrigation with drying the soil surface until hair cracks emerge before the next irrigation. The amounts of water volume irrigated and drained were measured by pipe flow meter and ponding depth was observed by using a partly buried 120mm diameter PVC pipe. The results showed that the irrigation water depths, the rainfalls, and the drainage depths were 379mm, 458mm, and 448mm in 1988, and 274mm, 819mm, and 736mm in 1990, respectively. The average yield was 590kg per 10a. The water saving irrigation method saved irrigation water by about 20% with higher yield compared with the traditional method.
