Nowadays, in spite of the remarkable development of the results of open heart surgery, the incidence of postoperative acute renal failure [ARF] has been increased due to the expansion of the candidates and prolonged operation time for complicated cases. It is also well known that ARF after open heart surgery, if once occurred, is a critical complication, therefore early diagnosis and treatment about it are very important for prognosis. Recently a low molecular weight [2 * microglobulin [[2* MG]has been used as a indicator of renal function. Because of the properties of [2 * MG, serum concentration of it is increased in glomerular dysfunction and urine excretion of it is increased in tubular dysfunction. Author studied about the perioperative changes of serum [2* MG and BUN concentration in 25 children and 30 adults for evaluation of significances of [2* MG as a parameter of postoperative renal function in open heart surgery, and the results were obtained as follows. l. In open heart surgery, the serum [2* MG concentration was elevated postoperatively in the all cases from the first postoperative day. 2. There were a significant correlation between the preoperative BUN and [2* MG concentration [P< 0.01]. The correlation factor[r] in child group was 0.8512, and in adults 0.8636. 3. The maximum level of serum [2* MG in the both child and adult groups were noticed in 4th postoperative day as 2.61*0.80mg/ 1 in child group and 3.39*1.47 mg/ 4 in adult group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups statistically[P < 0.05]. 4. The pattern of changes of serum concentration of [2* MG with time was very similar with the changes of BUN, but in a case of ARF [expired with it] the changes of [2* MG was more remarkable. 5. There was a significant differences in the maximum level of [2* MG between the 2 group according to the ECC time [groups of below and above 60 minutes] [P< 0.01].

막분리 공정의 공업적인 이용을 위해서는 막을 특정 용기에 적재한 모듈의 형태가 요구되는데 모듈의 형태에 따라 평판형(plate and frame), 나권형(spiral wound), 관형(tubular), 중공사형(hollow fiber)모듈 등이 있다. 이 중에서 관형 시스템은 내경이 12.5~25 mm, 길이 0.6~6.4 m에 이르는 비교적 큰 open channel로 되어 있으며 공급액 유로가 일반적으로 커서 전처리를 행하지 않고도 fouling이 적으며, 또한 막 표면의 세정이 약품에 의한 것 이외에 스폰지 볼 등에 의한 물리적 세정도 가능하므로 응용 범위가 넓다는 것이 특징이다. 한외여과 공정의 가장 큰 문제점은 농도분극 및 fouling 현상에 의한 플럭스 감소이다. 농도분극 현상은 경계층에서 용질의 대류,확산적인 전달에 기인하여 막 표면으로 갈수록 진해지는 용액층의 형성을 의미한다. 이 현상은 가역적인 과정으로서 감압함으로 원상태로 회복이 가능하며 조작 압력에서 정상상태가 되면 막투과 플럭스는 일정한 값을 유지한다.

In clinical use, coronary stents keep coronary arteries open after expansion with a balloon catheter and prevent the expanded artery from collapsing. Coronary stents are positioned in artery by catheter with a balloon along a guide wire to the lesion site. Flexibility is one of important ability for delivery. In this paper, Palmaz-Schatz stent and Tenax complete stent were selected because these are the most representative of tubular stents. Finite element analyses for the stent system were performed using ABAQUS/Standard code. The present study estimated the flexibility of coronary stents due to loading directions. Moreover the present paper suggests a numerical method to test the flexibility of stents. In conclusion this paper shows how the finite element analysis can be effectively organized in the stent development.

We report a case of double orifice mitral valve complicating a partial atrioventricular septal defect.The preoperative diagnosis was suggested by a characteristic angiographic and echocardiographic findings but the correct diagnosis of double orifice mitral valve itself was proven by open heart surgery. The smaller accessory mitral orifice was located in the left lateral leaflet and was left untouched. The A-V septal defect was closed with Gore-Tex patch and localized tricuspid annuloplasty was done using Gore-Tex tubular graft for correction of severe tricuspid regurgitation. The anterior mitral cleft left intact had mild mitral regurgitation on postoperative echocardiography.Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged 2 weeks later.

Some open tubular (OT) molecule imprinted polymer (MIP) silica capillary columns with templates of camphor derivatives such as 10-camphorsulfonic acid (10-CSA), 10-camphorsulfonamide (10-CS) and camphor-p-tosyl hydrazone (CTH) have been successfully prepared by the prior generalized preparation protocol. The three MIP thin layers of different templates showed quite different morphologies. The chiral selectivity of each MIP column for the template enantiomers was optimized by changing eluent composition and pH. The optimization conditions were found to be different for the three MIPs. This work suggests prospective successful extension of the generalized preparation protocol for OT-MIP silica capillary columns toward templates of a variety of chemical groups.

The mechanical components for wind turbines are mainly manufactured using open-die forging. This research introduces an advanced forging method to produce the door frame of the tubular wind turbine tower. The advantages of this new forging method are an increase in the raw material utilization ratio and a reduction in energy cost. In the conventional method, the door frame is hot forged with a hydraulic press and amounts of material are machined out because of the shape difference between the forged and final machine products. The proposed forging method is composed of hot forging and ring rolling processes to increase the material utilization ratio. The effectiveness of this new forging method is deeply related to the ring rolled blank dimension before the final forging. To get the optimal ring rolled blank, forged shape prediction using the finite element analysis method was applied. The forged dimensions produced by the new forging method were verified through the first article production.

Formation of a soil plug in an open-ended pile is a very important factor in determining the pile behavior both during driving and during static loading. The degree of soil plugging can be represented by the incremental filling ratio (IFR) which is defined as the change in the plug length to the change of the pile embedment length. The experimental tests carried out in this research contain 138 tests that are divided as follows: 36 tests for single pile, 36 tests for pile group ($2{\times}1$), 36 tests for pile group ($2{\times}2$) and 30 pile group ($2{\times}3$). All tubular piles were tested using the poorly graded sand from the city of Karbala in Iraq. The sand was prepared at three different densities using a raining technique. Different parameters are considered such as method of installation, relative density, removal of soil plug with respect to length of plug and pile length to diameter ratio. The soil plug is removed using a new device which is manufactured to remove the soil column inside open pipe piles group installed using driving and pressing device. The principle of soil plug removal depends on suction of sand inside the pile. It was concluded that the incremental filling ratio (IFR) is changed with the changing of soil state and method of installation. For driven pipe pile group, the average IFR for piles in loose is 18% and 19.5% for L/D=12 and 15, respectively, while the average of IFR for driven piles in dense sand is 30% and 20% for L/D=12 and L/D=15 respectively. For pressed method of pile installation, the average IFR for group is zero for loose and medium sand and about 5% for dense sand. The group capacity increases with the increase of IFR. For driven pile with length of 450 mm, the average IFR % is about 30.3% in dense sand, 14% in medium and 18.3% for loose sand while when the length of pile is 300 mm, the percentage equals to 20%, 17% and 19.5%, respectively.

Conventional laminectomy is the most popular technique for the complete removal of intradural spinal tumors. In particular, the central portion intramedullary tumor and large intradural extramedullary tumor often require a total laminectomy for the midline myelotomy, sufficient decompression, and adequate visualization. However, this technique has the disadvantages of a wide incision, extensive periosteal muscle dissection, and bony structural injury. Recently, split-spinous laminectomy and tubular retractor systems were found to decrease postoperative muscle injuries, skin incision size and discomfort. The combined technique of split-spinous laminectomy, using a quadrant tube retractor system allows for an excellent exposure of the tumor with minimal trauma of the surrounding tissue. We propose that this technique offers possible advantages over the traditional open tumor removal of the intradural spinal cord tumors, which covers one or two cervical levels and requires a total laminectomy.
