This study was intended to investigate the characteristics of ride vibrations transmitted to tractor operator during rotary tillage and plowing operations. Seat accelerations of a 41 ps diesel tractor in rotary tillage and plowing were measured and evaluated as specified in the ISO 2631-1. Effects of working speed and tilling depth on ride vibration were investigated. The level of ride vibration was also evaluated in terms of health guidance caution zones. Some of the results of the study are as follows: 1. The level of ride vibration in plowing was about 4.3 times greater than in rotary tillage. 2. The effect of working speed in rotary tillage differs depending upon the tillage depth. The level of ride vibration was increased with the speed, but it decreased over a certain tillage depth. Fore and aft vibration was 2.2-2.7 times severer than horizontal and vertical vibrations. Dominant frequency band was 1-3.15 ㎐ in fore and aft, 1-3.15㎐ and 16-25㎐ in horizontal, and 16-25㎐ in vertical directions. 3. Plowing reduced the ride vibration by 42.8-50.2%. But its positive effect decreased as the plowing speed increased. In plowing operation, ride vibration was similar degrees in fore and aft, horizontal and vertical directions. The dominant frequency band in plowing operation was 1-2.5㎐ in fore and aft, 1-2.5㎐ in horizontal, and 1-8㎐ in vertical directions. 4. On a basis of daily work hours of 4, total level of ride vibrations in plowing operation is likely to be harmful to operator's health.

The subjects, under 18 old, 2,694 children who visited ER during 1998, were surveyed by the Triage and other statitical data. The results were as follows 1. The male to female ratio was 1.7 : 1, and the toddler(1-4 old) was the majority. 2. Triage ; critical 1.3%, acute 14.6%, urgent 29.5%, nonemergent 54.6%. 3. The reasons of visiting ER ; 1) The children had diseases(46.5%), injury (36.9%), TA(5.6%) and toxication(1.0%). 2) In diseases, male to female ratio was 1.5 : 1 and in injury, male to female was 2 : 1. 3) Among the children having in TA, 12-18 old groups was the majority(34.9%). 4. The time of visiting : the 20:00 - 22:00 was the majority(16.9%). 5. By monthly and seasonal distribution ; Jan. (9.7%), Mar. and May(9% respectively, Dec. and July(6.7%) respectively. The children who visted ER in spring and autumn showed higher portion than those of summer and winter. 6. Results ; admission(27.4%), discharge(68.4%), operations(2.8%), and DOA and DAA(0.4%), The mortality of the infancy and toddler groups was 83.3%. The infancy group showed the highest rate of admission. 7. The time of staying in ER ; 1-2 hrs was the major group(23.3%) and the average was 4.6 hours. 8. By clinical departments ; Ped. was 34.4%, PS was 20.8%, Dental Surgery was 10.3% and Dermatology was 0.9%. 9. The types of visting ; the group who visited by themselves was 80%, transfer from the primary and secondary clinic was 17% and OPD was 3.0%. 10. The traffic means . by the own cars and taxi were 87.6%, by hospital ambulance was 6.1% and by 119 ambulance was 4.3%.

Manganese dependent peroxidase (MnP) is the most ubiquitous enzyme produced by white-rot fungi, MnP is known to be involved in lignin degradation, biobleaching and oxidation of hazardous organopollutants. Bjerkandera fumosa is a nitrogen-unregulated white-rot fungus, which produces high amounts of MnP in the excess of N-nutrients due to increased biomass yield. The objective of this study was to optimize the MnP production in N-sufficient cultures by varying different physiological factors such as Mn concentration, culture pH, and incubation temperature. The growth of fungus was optimal in pH 4.5 at $30^{\circ}C$, $N_2$-unregulated white-rot fungus produces high amounts of MnP in the excess N-nutrients. The fungus produced the highest level of MnP (up to $1000U/{\ell}$) with $0.25g/{\ell}$ asparagine and $1g/{\ell}$ $NH_4Cl$ as N source at 1.5 mM $MnCl_2$ concentration, pH value of 4.5 at $30^{\circ}C$. Purification of MnP revealed the existence of two isoforms: MnPl and MnP2. The molecular masses of the purified MnPl and MnP2 were in the same range of 42~45 kDa. These isoforms of B. fumosa strictly require Mn to oxidize phenolic substrates. Concerned to kinetic constants of B. fumosa MnPs, B. fumosa has similar Km value and Vmax compared to the other white-rot fungi.

Congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva is one of the rare congenital heart disease, which is usually asymptomatic until rupture. The aneurysm usually ruptures into a cardiac chamber and produces an aorto-intracardiac fistula. Ruptured aneurysm is a grave lesion in that it causes heart failure and subsequent death. If, however, it is discovered in its early stages and operated on properly, it can be corrected with considerable success. Form January 1975 through December 1984, 18 consecutive patients with congenital aneurysm of sinus of Valsalva underwent corrective surgery using total cardiopulmonary bypass in our department of Thoracic Surgery. 1. The incidence was about 0.9% of surgical cases of congenital heart disease during that period. 2. 13 were males and 5 females, with ages ranging 12 years to 52 years. 3. Associated anomalies were VSD in 14, infundibular PS in 1, aberrant muscle band in RVOT in 1, and secondary aortic insufficiency in 9. 4. 17 were suggested to arise from right coronary sinus and 1 from noncoronary sinus; Among 17, 12 ruptured into right ventricle, and one from noncoronary sinus into right atrium. 5. Surgical correction was performed by means of direct suture closure with combined pledget or patch graft after aneurysm resection, and associated lesions were also corrected simultaneously. 6. There was only one case of operative mortality, and all the other patients were relatively uneventful in their follow-up studies.

A Complete transposition of the great arteries combined with V.S.D, A.S.D, dextrocardia, and P.S is a rare congenital anomaly. The patient was a 10 year-old female whose complaints were frequent URI, exertional dyspnea, and cyanosis at rest since birth. Cheat X-ray films showed Dextrocardia ; situs inversus, moderate cardiomegaly, and Characteristic egg-shape heart shadow. E.K.G, Echocardiography, Cardiac Catheterization, and Angio-Cardiography were performed. Open heart Surgery was done under diagnosis of d-TGA, Dextrocardia, V.S.D, A.S.D, and P.S. At the time of Operation, Dextroeardia, T.G.A, Secndum type A.S.D, A.S.D, and P.S. At the time of Operation, Dextroeardia, T.G.A, Secndum type A.S.D. ($2.0{\times}2.0cm$. in diameter), V.S.D. type II ($1.5cm{\times}1.5cm$ in diameter), and pulmonary valvular stenosis were noted. Mustard operation using pericardial Baffle in the atrium for T.G.A. was perforsned. Teflon patch graft for closure of V.S.D. through tricuspid orifice and pulmonary Valvulotomy through pulmonary arteriotomy were performed. The post-op, low cardiac output Syndrome and dysrhythmicawere developed till Postoperative day #7, so that was controlled by inotropic and antiarrhythmic agents. After that, patient's conditions were Uneventful.
