Five males trained singers (age:25.0${\pm}$1.4years, career:6.8${\pm}$1.1 years) and five female trained singers (age:22.0${\pm}$1.0years, career:5.8${\pm}$1.2 years) participated in this study. SaO2(Oxi Hemoglobin saturation) measured by Oxy-Pulse meter and PAC02 (Pressure Alveolar Co2) measured by Quick et CO2 are compared with pre and post vocal training. As the result, PAC02 was lower than normal range (36-40mmHg) after vocal training, leading to Hypocapnia. This causes headache and dizziness

Background: Bronchofiberscopy is a procedure with a chance of airway irritation and it may cause pathophysiologic changes of respiratory system. So we tried to evaluate the influence of bronchofibercopy on $O_2$ saturation, ABGA and PIT by patient's basal status and procedure type. Method: $O_2$ saturation was measured every 1 minute from the left index finger tip with percutaneous oximetry. ABGA was done before and right after the bronchofiberscopy and PIT was done before and within 10 minutes after the bronchofiberscopy. Results: The mean time for bronchofiberscopy procedure was 14.5mim and $SaO_2$ maximally fall to 89.0 below 8% of the baseline after mean time of 8.4min, which was recovered at the end of the procedure. $SaO_2$ change amount was 8.4 % on Non-$O_2$ supply group, which was lower compared to 6.4 % of the $O_2$-supply group without statistically significance. Biopsy Group and BAL group showed more $SaO_2$ fall than washing only group. The level of $PaO_2$ and FEV1 of the patient didn't influence significantly on $SaO_2$ fall during the procedure. ABGA taken before and after the bronchofiberscopy showed mild fall of $PaO_2$ and mild rise of $PaCO_2$. Whereas PFT showed decrease of FEV1(P<0.05) and increase of RV without changes in airway resistance and pulmonary diffusion capacity. Comparing before and after the bronchofiberscopy, the washing group showed no significant changes on PIT, while the biopsy group and the BAL group showed increase of RV & decrease of $FEV_1$ after the bronchofiberscopy. BAL group showed more changing tendency rather than biopsy group although not statistically significant. Conclusion: Bronchofiberscopy is considered as a relatively safe procedure, but it would be better to be done with $O_2$ supply especially in the patient with low $PaO_2$ and in the case of biopsy and BAL.

Continuous supplementation of mineral nutrients and salicylic acid (SA) as foliar application could improve efficacy in controlling basal stem rot (BSR) disease in oil palm seedling. It is revealed from the results that the highest disease severity index (58.3%) was recorded in T8 treatments at 9 months after inoculation. The best disease control was achieved by T7 treatments (calcium/copper/SA [Ca/Cu/SA]) (5.0%) followed by T1 (5.5%), T5 (5.8%), T3 (8.3%), T6 (8.3%), T4 (13.3%), and T2 (15.8%) treatments. Continuous supplementation of Ca/Cu/SA was found to be the most effective in controlling the disease and the high performance liquid chromatography results showed the detection of ergosterol at very low concentration in the treated samples. Moreover, the transmission electron microscopy analysis results clearly indicated that T7 treatment was also enhancing lignification, which was responsible for the thickness of the secondary cell walls and middle lamella compared to untreated samples. It was therefore, concluded that continuous supplementation of minerals nutrients and SA could effectively suppress disease severity by reducing ergosterol activity and also improve the process of lignification in the treated plants. Furthermore, this treatment also managed to delay the onset of BSR symptoms and promote the growth of the seedlings and eventually suppress the BSR disease.

This study was performed to determine the effectiveness of poloxamer/sodium alginate mixture(PX/SA) barriers on prevention of post-operative peritoneal adhesion in dogs. Fifteen mongrel dogs were divided into three experimental groups: non-treated group, 2% Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose (SCMC) treated group and PX/SA treated group. In order to induce adhesions, the anti-mesenteric serosa of the ileum was exteriorized and then abraded in a standard manner by scraping with a scalpel blade to create homogeneous petechial hemorrhagic surface over a 1 ${\times}$ 1 cm area. Solution of SCMC was allowed to spread across the intraperitoneal organs through a catheter using a syringe. PX/SA was simply coated over the abraded tissues. On day before and day 1, 4, 7, and 14 after operation, venous blood specimens were collected for measurement of RBC, total WBC and fibrinogen. The adhesions were blindly assessed 3 weeks later by using a computerized tensiometer. The RBC, total WBC and fibrinogen values of three groups showed no statistical significances. The mean tensile strength(gram force, gf) of formed adhesions on day 21 after surgery was 173.05${\pm}$113.48 in the non-treated group, 111.42 ${\pm}$ 38.25 in the SCMC group, and 69.00 ${\pm}$ 45.07 in the PX/SA group. The tensile strength values for adhesion seperation in PX/SA group was lower than those in SCMC group(p < 0.05) and significantly lower than those in the non-treated group(p < 0.05). Our data suggested that PX/SA should be effective on reducing peritoneal adhesion formation in dogs compared with SCMC. PX/SA may be applicable to preventing post-operative intraperitoneal adhesion in dogs.

Orthopedic rapid maxillary expansion(RME) has been a common treatment modality used to widen narrow maxillae in young children. However, since more skeletally matured adolescents or adults has closed midpalatal suture, the result of RME was undesirable because of dental tipping with little or no basal skeletal movement and resulted to many other complications. After such treatment, complications often occurred such as alveolar bending, compression of periodontal ligament, extrusion, buccal tipping, and severe relapse. Thus, surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion(SA-RME) is required, especially for patients over 14 years old, to skeletally release maxillary expansion. We used two methods of maxillary expansion surgery. Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion(SA-RME) & surgically assisted posterior segmental expansion(SA-PSE) were used for narrow maxilla. The study was divided into two groups(SA-RME group and SA-PSE group). SA-RME group was consisted of 2 males and 4 females, and the ages of materials ranged from 15 years to 25 years with a mean of 20.2 years. SA-PSE group was consisted of 1 male and 5 females, and the ages ranged from 13 years to 23 years with a mean of 18.7 years. Dental study models were fabricated before starting the expansion and immediately after the expansion was completed. It was fabricated again 1 month later, 3 months later when the expansion device was removed, and 6 months later after the expansion was completed. A repeated measures analysis of variance(ANOVA) test was applied to assess changes between each groups over time. The amount of expansion and the amount of tipping movement each in both groups were compared by using paired t-test and it was also compared between each subjects within the group by using independent t-test. Both SA-RME and SA-PSE group showed stable results, but SA-PSE group showed statical significance in tipping movement of second premolar. We compared 6 patients who recieved SA-RME with 6 patients who received SA-PSE, and appraised the clinical usefulness.

Objective : The study was designed to evaluate the effects of treatment of Bell's palsy patients with posterior ear pain by the Sa-Am acupuncture. Methods : From December 5th 2003 to May 22th 2004, the clinical comparison studies were carried out 30 cases of Bell's palsy patients with posterior ear pain treated by Sa-am acupuncture Sojangjeonggyeok(Group 1) & General acupuncture(Group 2), who had been treated in Dept. of acupuncture and moxibustion, Oriental Medical Hospital, Dae-Jeon University. Results : The result obtained as follows; 1. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the degree of improvement by H-B grade(p>0.05). 2. Group 1 is more effective than Group 2 in the VAS score after 5, 10 days of each treatment about mastoid pain($p{\leq}0.05$). Conclusion : In this study, although Sa-am acupuncture Sojangjeonggyeok was effective treatment of the posterior ear pain, there was no significant difference between the Group 1 and Group 2 in the degree of improvement of facial palsy. So further research is needed continuously.

Occurrence of epiphytic dinoflagellates (EPDs) in coastal waters off Jeju was first reported in 2011 based on 45 substrate samples from 24 macroalgal species. When re-analyzing, the extreme heterogeneous distribution of whole and genus-specific EPDs was reconfirmed across the sampling stations and substrate macroalgal species, as well as even across substrate samples of the same species. Abundance maximum of an EPD genus (cells g-wwt^-1) at a fixed surface-to-volume ratio (SA/V ratio) of the macroalgal species increased as the SA/V ratio increased up to 500 (cm² cm^-3). However, the abundance maximum of Ostreopsis further increased even in the MG2 (morphological group 2) macroalgae with the SA/V ratios over 500. The number of substrate macroalgal species on the plane of the MG and sampling station was more or less evenly scattered than the average EPD abundance, which was primarily driven by Gambierdiscus and Ostreopsis. Of the total EPD abundance of the five stations, 90.6% were represented by the two most common and abundant genera, Gambierdiscus and Ostreopsis, each accounting for 41.6% and 49.0%. Spatially, 95.9% of the total EPD abundance was found in St. 4 and St. 5, of which St. 4 with higher water temperature had more Ostreopsis spp. (31.8%), and St. 5 with higher salinity had more Gambierdiscus spp. (27.3%). Thus, the environmental transition to favorable T-S condition to MG2, the thin filamentous macroalgal group with very high SA/V ratios, is thus likely to support further success in EPD genera led by Ostreopsis in the coastal waters of Jeju.

This study is focused on the evaluation of growth parameters, total polyphenol content (TPC), chlorophyll content as well as the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity of young barley seedling (YBS) affected by elicitation. Salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MJ), amino acid liquid fertilizer (ALF) and microbial metabolism activator (MMA) were used. Elicitation was conducted for two times and various concentrations were used in this study. The result revealed that, MJ 1 ml/L treated-YBS gave the longest seedling length of 1.33 cm, followed by the ones treated with SA 1.38 mg/L and ALF 2 ml/L, respectively. ALF 3 ml/L treatment gave the highest fresh weight of 10 seedlings, followed by MJ 5 ml/L and SA 13.8 mg/L treatment with 1.56 g, 1.55 g and 1.53 g respectively. SA 138.12 mg/L elicitor treated-YBS gave the highest Chl a, Chl b content of $8.57{\mu}g/mg$ and $3.83{\mu}g/mg$, respectively while the highest carotenoid content was found in MJ ml/L treatment with $1.62{\mu}g/mg$. Among elicitor treated-YBS, SA showed better TPC. The highest TPC was found in SA 1.38 mg/L treatment with 18.82 mg/g TAE. Likewise, SA 1.38 mg/L showed the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity among all the treatments. However, the lowest TPC was found in ALF 1ml/L treated-YBS with 9.46 mg/g TAE, which was even lower than the control (14.31 mg/g TAE).
