The optimal reheating conditions to apply the thixoforging and semi-solid die casting process were investigated by changing the reheating time, the holding time, the reheating temperatures, the capacity of the induction heating system, and the adiabatic material size. In the case of solid fraction fs=50% (for semi-solid die casting), the microstructure of SSM (specimen size:$d76{\times}l90$) at the condition of the first elevating time of 4 min, holding time of 1 min and holding temperature of $350^{\circ}C$, the second elevating time of 3 min, holding time of 3 min and holding temperature of $575^{\circ}C$, the third elevating time of 1 min, holding time of 2 min and holding temperature of $584^{\circ}C$, capacity of Q=8.398KW is obtained with globular microstructure and finest. In addition, in the case of solid fraction fs=55% (for thixoforging), the SSM (specimen size:$d76{\times}l90$) at the condition of the first elevating time of 4 min, holding time of 1 min and holding temperature of $350^{\circ}C$, the second elevating time of 3 min, holding time of 3 min and holding temperature of $570^{\circ}C$, the third elevating time of 1 min, holding time of 2 min and holding temperature of $576^{\circ}C$, capacity of Q=12.04KW is obtained with the finest globular microstructure. We saw that the most important factor in a three-step reheating process is the final holding time.

Purpose: In this single repeated measures study, an examination was done on the effects of dialysate flow rate on dialysis adequacy and fatigue in patients receiving hemodialysis. Methods: This study was a prospective single center study in which repeated measures analysis of variance were used to compare Kt/V urea (Kt/V) and urea reduction ratio (URR) as dialysis adequacy measures and level of fatigue at different dialysate flow rates: twice as fast as the participant's own blood flow, 500 mL/min, and 700 mL/min. Thirty-seven hemodialysis patients received all three dialysate flow rates using counterbalancing. Results: The Kt/V ($M{\pm}SD$) was $1.40{\pm}0.25$ at twice the blood flow rate, $1.41{\pm}0.23$ at 500 mL/min, and $1.46{\pm}0.24$ at 700 mL/min. The URR ($M{\pm}SD$) was $68.20{\pm}5.90$ at twice the blood flow rate, $68.67{\pm}5.22$ at 500 mL/min, and $70.11{\pm}5.13$ at 700 mL/min. When dialysate flow rate was increased from twice the blood flow rate to 700 mL/min and from 500 mL/min to 700 mL/ min, Kt/V and URR showed relative gains. There was no difference in fatigue according to dialysate flow rate. Conclusion: Increasing the dialy-sate flow rate to 700 mL/min is associated with a significant increase in dialysis adequacy. Hemodialysis with a dialysate flow rate of 700 mL/min should be considered in selected patients not achieving adequacy despite extended treatment times and optimized blood flow rate.

Positron emission tomography (PET) images is affected by acquisition time, short acquisition times results in low gamma counts leading to degradation of image quality by statistical noise. Noise2Void(N2V) is self supervised denoising model that is convolutional neural network (CNN) based deep learning. The purpose of this study is to evaluate denoising performance of N2V for PET image with a short acquisition time. The phantom was scanned as a list mode for 10 min using Biograph mCT40 of PET/CT (Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany). We compared PET images using NEMA image-quality phantom for standard acquisition time (10 min), short acquisition time (2min) and simulated PET image (S2 min). To evaluate performance of N2V, the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), normalized root mean square error (NRMSE), structural similarity index (SSIM) and radio-activity recovery coefficient (RC) were used. The PSNR, NRMSE and SSIM for 2 min and S2 min PET images compared to 10min PET image were 30.983, 33.936, 9.954, 7.609 and 0.916, 0.934 respectively. The RC for spheres with S2 min PET image also met European Association of Nuclear Medicine Research Ltd. (EARL) FDG PET accreditation program. We confirmed generated S2 min PET image from N2V deep learning showed improvement results compared to 2 min PET image and The PET images on visual analysis were also comparable between 10 min and S2 min PET images. In conclusion, noisy PET image by means of short acquisition time using N2V denoising network model can be improved image quality without underestimation of radioactivity.

As the influence of fine dust on society spreads gradually, the public's interest in indoor air is increasingly rising. Air-purifying plants are drawing keen attention due to their natural purifying function enabled by plant physiology. However, as their fine dust reduction mechanism is limited to adsorption only, vegetation bio-filters that optimize purification effects through integration with air-conditioning systems is rising as an alternative. In accordance with the relevant standard test methods, this study looked into the fine dust reduction assessment method by air-conditioning airflow volume that can be used for the industrial spread of vegetation bio-filters. In the case of PM₁₀ at 300 ㎍/m³, it was in the order of EG-B(3,500CMH, 29 min.) < EG-A (2,500CMH, 37 min.) < CG(0CMH, 64 min.) for reaching the maintenance level (100 ㎍/m³) of publicly used facilities. For reaching the WHO Guideline(50 ㎍/m³) requirement, it was in the order of EG-B (51 min.) < EG-A (160 min.) < CG (170 min.). In the case of PM_2.5, it was in the order of EG-B (26 min.) < EG-A (33 min.) < CG (57 min.) for reaching the maintenance level (50 ㎍/m³) of publicly used facilities. It was in the order of EG-B (48 min) < EG-A (140 min) < CG (158 min) for reaching the WHO Guideline (25 ㎍/m³) requirement. The findings from the analysis showed that fine dust can be reduced most efficiently when the system is operated at 3,500CMH level. The limitation of this study is that due to the absence of a way of assessing the stress of plants in vegetation bio-filters, generating optimal air-conditioning air flow of the relevant system and economics analysis against the existing facility-type air purification system have been clarified, which should be explored further though follow-up studies.

The efficacy of cold blood potassium cardioplegia during periods of ischemic arrest was assessed in 88 patients undergoing open heart surgical procedures at Chonnam National University Medical School from December, 1987 to January, 1989. The purpose of this study was to determine if the aortic cross clamping time[ACCT] over 120 minutes correlated with operative mortality, incidence of postoperative ventricular tachyarrhythmias, needs of postoperative inotropic support and serum enzyme levels. The patients were divided according to aortic cross clamping time[less than 120 minutes and 120 minutes or greater]. The results were as follows: 1. The operative mortality was 3.2% in ACCT<120min group and 7.7% in ACCT>120 min group. 2. The incidence of postoperative ventricular tachyarrhythmia was 1.6% in ACCT <120min group and 11.5% in ACCT>120min group[p<0.05]. 3. The incidence of postoperative inotropic support in congenital heart disease was 13.0Fo in ACCT<120min group and 45.0%o in ACCT>120min group[p<0.05]. The incidence in acquired heart disease was 26.0% in ACCT<120min group and 40.0% in ACCT> 120min group. 4. After cardiopulmonary bypass, serum GOT, LDH, CPK and CPK - MB were elevated prominently. Children showed higher value of the enzymes examined than adults did before and after cardiopulmonary bypass. In congenital heart diseases, postoperative serum GOT, LDH, CPK and CPK - MB levels of ACCT>120min group were significantly higher than those of ACCT<120min group. Postoperative serum GOT, LDH and CPK - MB levels of ACCT>=120min group were significantly higher than those of ACCT<120min group also in acquired heart diseases. The results suggest that the myocardial protective effect with cold blood potassium cardioplegic solutions was not sufficient when the aortic cross clamping time was over 120 minutes.

리모넨은 오렌지 향이 있는 천연의 키랄 화합물로 주로 감귤껍질과 레몬껍질에 함유되어 있다. $4^{\circ}C$로 냉장 보관한 감귤 껍질을 에탄올을 용매로 속슬렛 추출기에서 2시간동안 $120^{\circ}C$에서 추출하였다. 역상 HPLC 분석을 통해 d-리모넨과 불순물의 헨리 상수를 계산하여 $H_{Lim}=8.55$, $H_{imp}=0.223$를 얻었다. Aspen chromatography 프로그램을 사용해서 $0.46{\times}25cm$ 칼럼으로 이루어진 4-bed SMB의 리모넨 전산모사를 수행하였고 삼각도내의 $m_2$, $m_3$ 값을 변경하면서 순도가 가장 높은 분리 조건을 찾았다. 그 결과 가장 높은 순도는 98.59%이고, $m_2=2.57$, $m_3=9.55$였다. 이 때의 feed 유량은 1 mL/min, desorbent 유량은 1.19 mL/min, extract 유량은 0.857 mL/min, raffinate 유량은 1.34 mL/min이었다. Scale-up 전산모사를 위해 칼럼의 직경을 1.6 cm로 늘린 4-bed SMB에서 직경이 0.46 cm인 4-bed SMB와 같은 결과를 갖는 조건을 찾기 위해 유량을 칼럼 부피 비에 정비례하여 증가시켰다. 이 때 feed, desorbent, extract, raffinate의 유량은 각각 12 mL/min, 14 mL/min, 10 mL/min, 16 mL/min이었다. 리모넨과 불순물의 등온흡착곡선을 선형으로 가정하였기에 칼럼 부피에 정비례하여 유량을 증가시키는 scale-up이 가능하였다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the optimal cooling rate and the plunging temperature into liquid nitrogen of the 8-cell hamster embryos. The female hamsters were induced to superovulate by intraperitoneal injection of 30 i.u. PMSG. Embryos were flushed from oviduct and uterine horn. Embryos were frozen and incubated with a modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline, and equilibrated with 1.5M-dimethyl sulfoxide by a 3-step procedure. The cooling rate of samples was 1$^{\circ}C$/min from room temperature to -5$^{\circ}C$ and the samples were seeded at -5$^{\circ}C$. The plunging temperatures into liquid nitrogen were -20, -25, -30, -35, -40, -45, -50 and -55$^{\circ}C$ at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min, 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min and 1$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rates, respectively. This mean numbers of ovulation points and recovered embryos were 59.4 and 48.4 appearing 81.6% recovery rate. The percentage of 8-cell embryos in recovered embryos was 68.2. The survival rates of embryos plunged at -45$^{\circ}C$ were 73.5% at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min, 44.8% at 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min and 30.3% at 1$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rates, respectively. This mean numbers of ovulation points and recovered embryos were 59.4 and 48.4 appearing 81.6% recovery rate. The percentage of 8-cell embryos in recovered embryos was 68.2. The survival rates of embryos plunged at -45$^{\circ}C$ were 73.5% at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min, 44.8% at 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min and 30.3% at 1$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rates, respectively. The survival rates at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min were significantly high. Under the condition of 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rate, the survival rates of embryos according to the plunging temperature were 70.0% and 73.5% at -40 and -45$^{\circ}C$, and those were higher than other plunging temperatures. Under the condition of 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min and 1$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rates, the survival rates according to the plunging temperatures were lower than the cooling rate of 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min, showing the similar tendency at all the plunging temperatures. In conclusion, 8-cell hamster embryos showed the best survival rates at 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min cooling rate and -45$^{\circ}C$ plunging temperature.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of cryoprotectants, freezing and thawing rates on the survival of 8-cell mouse embryos. The female ICR mice were induced to superovulated by intraperitoneal injections of 5 i.u. PMSG and 5 i.u. HCG given 48h apart and then were paired with males of the same strain. They were killed and embryos were flushed from the oviducts and uteri on 3 days after injection of HCG. Embryos were flushed with modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline and equilibrated with 1.5M-dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or 1.5M-glycerol by 3-step procedure. The freezing rates of the embryos were 1$^{\circ}C$/min from room temperature to -5$^{\circ}C$ and the embryos were seeded at -5$^{\circ}C$. After being held for 3 min at the seeding temperature, the rates were 0.3$^{\circ}C$/min from -5$^{\circ}C$ to -35$^{\circ}C$. From -35$^{\circ}C$ to -7$0^{\circ}C$, the rates were divided into 0.1$^{\circ}C$/min, 1$^{\circ}C$/min and 1$0^{\circ}C$/min, respectively. After being held for 5 min at -7$0^{\circ}C$, the embryos were plunged directly into liquid nitrogen. The embryos were thawed at 4$^{\circ}C$/min and 12$^{\circ}C$/min from -196$^{\circ}C$ to 37$^{\circ}C$, and for 2 min in 37$^{\circ}C$ water bath, respectively. The average number of ovulation points and embryos recovered were 42.7 and 34 appearing 79.5% recovery rate. Eight cell embryos in the embryos recovered were 26.3. The survival rates of embryos according to the freezing rates in the presence of 1.5M-DMSO were 73.5~80.6% at 0.1$^{\circ}C$/min, 75.0~79.5% at 1$^{\circ}C$/min and 52.8~54.7% at 1$0^{\circ}C$/min, but in the presence of 1.5M-glycerol were 62.9~67.6% at 0.1$^{\circ}C$/min, 61.4~68.3% at 1$^{\circ}C$/min and 25.5~30.2% at 1$0^{\circ}C$/min. The survival rates of embryos were not affected by the thawing rates.
