Rip-off failure and Debonding failure were commonly reported premature failure modes. The main reasons of premature failure in RC beams bonded with FRP were strengthening length and the reinforcement ratio. in this study, On the basis of premature failure mechanism in RC beams bonded with FRP, premature failure criteria were proposed. Also It was verified that Rip-off failure and Debonding failure occured according to premature failure criteria

This paper focuses on the premature failure of RC beams bonded with FRP. A number of failure modes for RC beams bonded with FRP have been observed in numerous experimental studies during past decade. Particularly, Rip-off failure and Debonding failure were majority failure modes in RC beams bonded with FRP. Rip-off failure occurred at the plate end due to high interfacial shear and normal stresses however Debonding failure was caused by the yielding of reinforcing bar and the increasing of shear deformation in shear span. On the basis of premature failure mechanism in RC beams bonded with FRP, Basic strengthening length and Premature failure criteria were derived

Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to report the effects of herbal medicine on spontaneous pregnancy with premature ovarian failure. Methods: The 28-year-old patient who was diagnosed premature ovarian failure was treated with herbal medicine (Hyangbujapalmul-tang-gagam), acupuncture and moxibustion. Results: After the treatment, the symptoms of premature ovarian failure such as hot flushes, sweats were improved. The patient recovered menstruation and achieved spontaneous pregnancy. Conclusions: This case shows that Korean medical treatment including herbal medicine has effect on treating infertile female with premature ovarian failure.

Objectives: The purpose of these cases is to report the effects of oriental medicine on two patients with premature ovarian failure. Methods: Two patients who had amenorrhea and hot flashes caused by premature ovarian failure were treated by oriental medicine such as herb medication. We estimated the effects of treatments by follow-up measurements of serum hormone level, menstrual cycle and symptoms. Besides, follicle and endometrium were checked by ultrasonography for academic research.Results After treatments, their symptoms of premature ovarian failure were improved and the menstrual cycle resumed. And the level of serum Follicle Stimulating Hormone decreased and the level of serum E₂ increased.Conclusions Two cases shows that oriental medicine has effects on patients with premature ovarian failure by follow-up measurements of serum hormone level, menstrual cycle and symptoms.

Objectives: To report the Pregnancy and delivery in Premature Ovarian Failure after Korean Traditional Medicine Treatment. Methods: The patients who diagnosed as premature ovarian failure was treated with herbal medicine (Daeyeongjeon-gamibang). Results: After the treatment, symptoms of premature ovarian failure such as vaginal dryness, hot flush were improved. The patient got regular menstruation cycle and she was pregnant during the treatment. Conclusions: The case report shows that Korean medical treatment can be an effective for infertile female with premature ovarian failure.

This paper deals with a premature failure mechanism of deep grooved ball bearing for automobiles. A close examination of used bearings revealed that the premature failure could be arose by dents on the ball. Universal testing machine with specially designed tools is used to simulate the practical dents on the ball and test bearings are assembled with dented balls and new hearing components. The endurance test results showed that the dents on the balls were printed on the races and these phenomena come to premature failure.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effects of oriental medicine on 2 patients with premature ovarian failure. Methods: The patients who had amenorrhea caused by premature ovarian failure were treated by oriental medicine such as herb medication, acupuncture and moxibustion. We evaluated the results of treatments by change of symptoms, serum hormone assay, basal body temperature and Kupperman's Index. Results: After oriental medicine, the patients could have their normal menstrual cycle. Also serum hormone assay, basal body temperature and Kupperman's Index were improved. Conclusions: This study shows that oriental medicine has effects on patients with premature ovarian failure. And serum hormone assay, basal body temperature and Kupperman's Index would be valid measurement to evaluate the effect of treatments for premature ovarian failure.

The purpose of this study is to detect certain change in peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations in women with premature ovarian failure. The B cells, T cells and subsets were counted in 21 women with premature ovarian failure and 30 age-matched normal control women. The B cells were measured by identifying lymphocyte with surface membrane immunoglobulin and T cells and subsets by indirect immunofluorescence technique with the monoclonal antibodies OK T3, OK T4, and OK T8. The results were as follows. 1. No significant difference in the absolute number of B cells, T cells and subsets between women with premature ovarian failure and normal control women was observed. 2. The percentage of B cells, T cells and OK T8(+) cells in women with premature ovarian failure was not significantly different from that in normal control subjects respectively. 3. The percentage of OK T4(+) cells and OK T4/0K T8(+) ratio was significantly higher in women with premature ovarian failure than in control subjects.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Traditional Korean Medicine therapy on climacteric symptoms in premature ovarian failure patient. Methods: The patient in this case was 32 years old female. She had a history of the right side ovariectomy and antituberculous chemoteraphy caused by pelvic tuberculosis. And she was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure in October, 2007. She had a climacteric symptoms when she admitted to the OBGY department of Se-Myung University in Je-Cheon. She received Korean Medicine therapies such as herbal medicine, moxibustion, acupuncture. We evaluated patient's health status by Kupperman's index and VAS. Results: After the treatment, the climacteric symptoms in premature ovarian failure patient was improved. Conclusion: This case study shows that Korean Medicine therapies have significant effect on climacteric symptoms in premature ovarian failure.

Premature ovarian failure is a condition causing amenorrhea, hypoestrogenism, and elevated gonadotropins in women younger than 40 years. Many causes of premature ovarian failure were reported, including genetic abnormalities, enzymatic defects, defects in gonadotropin secretion or action, autoimmune disorders, physical and idiopathic causes. Recently, Finnish group reported a point mutation in the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor gene in premature ovarian failure patients. But it was reported that the group from United States could not find any mutation in FSH receptor gene. So we analysed C566T point mutation of FSH receptor gene using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and compared the result between premature ovarian failure patient with idiopathic and known causes. But we did not find 556C${\rightarrow}$T mutation in the FSH receptor gene in both groups. These findings suggest that the missense mutation in the human FSH receptor gene reported in Finnish women with premature ovarian failure is uncommon in Korean women with premature ovarian failure.
