Recently, studies on reducing mercury have been actively conducted worldwide, which include the current status of mercury emissions and mercury control technology. Among the control technology, Sorbent Trap measurement method has been aggressively developed due to its reliability, easiness in measurement and analysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of the new international measurement method; Sorbent Trap. For this, the study compared the Sorbent trap method (US EPA Method 30B) and the Korean Standard Method for Examination of Air (ES 01408.1) to evaluate their reliability, and developed mercury emission factors. As the result, the relative standard deviations (% RSD) of the two methods were 3.5~13.4% at Coal-fired Power Plants (CPP), 4.0~18.4% at Cement Kilns (CK), and 3.0~11.3% at Medical Waste Incinerators (MWI). The emissions factors were developed as 14.50 kg/ton at CPP, 45.10 kg/ton at CK, and 1,290.2 kg/ton at MWI.

The purpose of this study was to identify and name clusters of school health program, and to describe some of the characteristics of administrative supports. The literature, materials and public documents were analysed by the chronological events from 1945 to 1989. The result of this study is as follows : 1. A brief summary of the history of school health program was included as an introduction to the analysis of the current programs of school health. Five current school health-program clusters were identified from findings of a study of programs ; 1) Physical assessment, laboratory examination and health services for the students, 2) health insturction 3) healthful living condition(environmental health), 4) health clinic management 5) administrative supports. 2. The earliest school-based efforts focused on communicable disease prevention by the ministry of health and social affairs. Annual medical inspection(health assessment) for school children for eyes, ears, nose, and throat were mandated nation-wide in 1951 by physical Assessment Act. 3. In 1979, the health instruction of schools to improve the health status of students was improved by health department in the Ministry of Education. 4. Experiences in healthful environment were basic components of the school health program. However, without careful planning and supervision these experiences were not contributed to the goal of school health. The formal program of school health environment were initiated in 1979. 5. In 1980, the guidelines of school health clinic management were prepared by Ministry of Education such as guidance of essential degrees and facilities in school health clinic. 6. Two patterns of administration of school health programs existed in Korea. In one the school health department operated its own health program and in the other the physical education department operated the health program within the school system. The school health department was established in Ministry of Education from 1979 to 1982. Improved school health programs will be a key element in the comprehensive national child health policy whic I will ask the Ministry of Education to develop for the Department.

A 2-year-old male, 3 kg body weight Japanese Chin was injured in the automobile accident three months ago. The dog became antebrachiocarpal joint instability, and performed pancarpal arthrodesis using 3 K-wires in localanimal hospital. But, the result was failure. Therefore the dog was referred to Chonbuk Animal Medical Center, Chonbuk National University. In physical examination, right carpal joint instability, knuckling sign and pain were evident. In radiography, sclerosis was observed on the 4th carpal bone. Complete blood count (CBC), serum chemistry and urinalysis finding were within reference ranges. Pancarpal arthrodesis was re-performed using 7-hole plate. However, mild skin and muscle defects was appeared by skin tension of extremity. We expected that granulation would fill the defect, but inflammation was continued on the lesions for 3 days. So, operation which is filling it was done by using the muscle flap and tubed skin flap. The donor muscles were flexor carpi radialis and superficial digital flexor muscles. After 7 days, the muscle flap was survived, but tubed skin flap was necrosed. After 20 days, the skin defect was substituted with granulation tissues. The flexor carpi radialis muscle and superficial digital flexor muscle transposition can be a useful procedure for reconstructing soft tissue defects in the carpal and metacarpal areas.

Objectives This study is performed to recognize the relationship between atrophic vaginitis and stress that have an affect on autonomic nervous system. Methods We studied 47 patients who visited Kangnam Kyunghee Korean Hospital Medical Examination Center from November, 2013 to June, 2014. They were devided into two groups, atrophic vaginitis group (AV, n=18) and non-atrophic vaginitis group (NAV, n=29). We compared the result of HRV between the two groups. Results The mean of The standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), the square root of the mean squared difference of successive NNs (RMSSD) in AV group was lower than NAV group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Total power (TP), low frequency (LF) and very low frequency (VLF) of AV group was significantly lower than NAV group. There was no significant difference in high frequency (HF). Conclusions Women with atrophic vaginitis is expected to have low adaptive capacity against stress.

Background The result of illicit polymer injection is chronic inflammation with foreign-body granuloma (FBG) formation. Treatment can be divided into medical and surgical. Some patients develop severe complications with need surgical treatment. This study aims to describe patients who underwent surgical removal of the FBGs and autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA); additionally, we evaluated the quality of life after surgery. Methods In this retrospective single-center study, the authors examined data of patients who underwent surgical removal of FBG caused by illicit polymer injection for cosmetic purposes and confirmed ASIA from 2015 to 2020 by three different surgical approaches. Descriptive summary statistics were reported on patient demographics, presenting symptoms and clinical examination features, treatment strategies, histopathology reports and quality of life. Results The cohort included 11 female patients with FBGs and ASIA. The most affected anatomical zones were the combination of gluteal region, thighs and legs (40%); and thighs with legs (20%). Main presentation was: skin hyperpigmentation (90.9%), skin induration (63.6%), chronic fatigue (63.6%), and ulcers (36.4%). Surgical modalities consisted of: ultrasonic-assisted liposuction in four patients (36.4%); open en bloc excision and primary closure in four patients (36.4%); and open en bloc excision and microsurgical reconstruction in three patients (27.2%). The postoperative quality of life visual analog scale score was 83.9. Conclusions ASIA treatment represents a challenge for the plastic surgeon. Adequate surgical treatment emphasizing, when possible, the total or near-total resection of the FBG must be performed to improve ASIA evolution.

Recently heart attack is 80% of the sudden death of elderly. The causes of a heart attack are complex and sudden, and it is difficult to predict the onset even if prevention or medical examination is performed. Therefore, early diagnosis and proper treatment are the most important. In this paper, we show the accuracy of normal and abnormal classification with neural network using weighted fuzzy function for accurate and rapid diagnosis of myocardial infarction. The data used in the experiment was data from the UCI Machine Learning Repository, which consists of 14 features and 303 sample data. The algorithm for feature selection uses the average of weight method. Two features were selected and removed. Heart attack was classified into normal and abnormal(1-normal, 2-abnormal) using the average of weight method. The test result for the diagnosis of heart attack using a weighted fuzzy neural network showed 87.66% accuracy.

This paper presents a machine learning model that predicts stroke risks in atrial fibrillation patients using public big data. As the training data, 68 independent variables including demographic, medical history, health examination were collected from the Korean National Health Insurance Service. To predict stroke incidence in patients with atrial fibrillation, we applied deep neural network. We firstly verify the performance of conventional statistical models (CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc). Then we compared proposed model with the statistical models for various hyperparameters. Accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) were mainly used as indicators for performance evaluation. As a result, the model using batch normalization showed the highest performance, which recorded better performance than the statistical model.
