고령사회의 진입과 더불어 인간의 평균 수명이 연장됨에 따라 현대 사회의 남성 및 여성의 외모에 대한 관심이 증가하는 추세이다. 사람의 노화를 가장 외면적으로 판단할 수 있는 것이 바로 얼굴의 피부 주름이다. 깨끗하고 주름이 없으면서 탄력성 있는 건강한 피부를 갖기 위하여 사람들은 각종 시술을 받고 있다. 시술 중 간단하면서도 효과적인 시술을 원하는 경향이 있어 실리프팅 시술 방법이 많이 시행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실 리프팅 시 리프팅 효과를 개선시키기 위하여 기존의 PDO봉합사 시술에 RF고주파와 CO₂ gas를 주입하여 주름의 개선을 확인하기 위한 동물 실험을 진행하였다. 시술 전과 후의 주름 개선의 비교는 Labview를 이용한 주름 평가 프로그램으로 진행하였으며, 동물실험의 데이터는 시술 후 10주차 측정 데이터를 사용하였다. 실험그룹은 자연노화 그룹, PDO 시술 그룹, PDO에 RF고주파를 주입한 그룹, PDO에 CO₂ gas를 주입한 그룹, PDO에 CO₂ gas와 RF를 동시에 주입한 그룹으로 진행하였다. 자연노화 그룹의 개체들은 시술 전 평균 주름의 깊이는 0.408mm이었고, 10주째의 평균 주름의 깊이는 0.68mm으로 자연노화가 진행되었다. PDO 시술 그룹의 개체의 주름의 깊이는 시술 전 평균 0.384mm이었고, 시술 후 10주째에는 평균 0.348mm이었다. PDO에 RF고주파를 주입한 개체의 시술 전 평균 주름의 깊이는 0.42mm이었으며, 10주째 평균 주름의 깊이는 0.378mm이었다. PDO에 CO₂ gas를 주입한 개체는 시술 전 평균 주름의 깊이는 0.4mm이었으며, 시술 후 10주째 평균 주름의 깊이는 0.332mm로 감소하였다. PDO에 CO₂ gas와 RF고주파를 주입한 개체는 시술 전 평균 0.412mm, 시술 후 10주차 0.338mm로 감소를 볼 수 있었다. 동물 실험을 통하여 PDO봉합사에 CO₂ gas와 RF를 주입한 시술이 가장 높은 17.96%의 감소율을 보였다.

A prototype peeling device with rotating cutter blades was designed to peel altari radish skin. With the designed blades, the maximum peeling depth increased as the cutter clearance increased but the effect of the peeling speed was not significant. The optimal operating conditions for peeling was; the peeling speed was at 0.19m/s when peeled 2.5 blades/sec and the maximum peeling depth was 1.5mm, the minimum peeling depth was 0.5mm, and the leaf rotating speed was 12 rpm, respectively. In the peeling test fur the optimum operation conditions, with a auxiliary rolling device could adjust the rotational speed of the root uniformly, the altari radishes under 70mm diameter were peeled perfectly.

Background : Epidural anesthesia is now accepted as a popular technique for pain relief and anesthesia. However, accidental dural puncture may occur during placement of the epidural needle. This study was undertaken to evaluate difference of the epidural depth between parturients and non-parturients. Method : Eighty non-parturients receiving epidural anesthesia were assigned to group I, and eighty parturients whose body weight had not yet increased over 15 kg from pregnancy were assigned to group II. With patients in lateral decubitus position, 18 guage Tuohy needle was punctured by approaching at $L_{3-4}$ interspace. Epidural space was identified using loss-of-resistance to air technique. Result : Epidural depth was 4.18 cm and 4.25 cm in group I and group II respectively. There was no significant statistical difference in body mass index(BMI) and ponderal index(PI) (p<0.05), nor in epidural depth between the two groups. Conclusion : Epidural needle need not be placed deeper in parturients than in nonparturients.

Objective : With the increased use of interspinous spacers in the treatment of lumbar stenosis, knowledge of the geometry of the interspinous space is important. To prevent dislodgment of an interspinous spacer, the accurate depth and width of the interspinous space needs to be established to facilitate the best intraoperative selection of correct spacer size. Methods : To determine the depth and width of the interspinous space, two methods are available which utilize plain film and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Data analysis of the interspinous depth and width was undertaken in 100 patients. Results : The standard deviations were variable, since skin thickness (zone 1) was altered by sex and age. The difference in the zone 1 distance between adjacent interspinous processes varied according to gender (p<0.05), but was not influenced by age [p=0.32 by analysis of variance between groups (ANOVA)]. Zone 2, the supraspinous, and zone 3, the interspinous ligament depths, comprise the operative working area during insertion of an interspinous spacer. There were no differences with regard to gender or age (p>0.05). For zones 6 and 7, the interspinous distances at the narrowest and widest points, respectively, were found to decrease with the aging process, but the decrease was not statistically significant. There were no differences with regard to gender (p>0.05). Conclusion : This study provides additional information on the interspinous space. This statistical data are valuable for use in the design of interspinous spacers.

Background and Objectives Although lasers have been widely applied in tissue treatment, the light penetration depth in tissues is limited by the tissue turbidity and affected by its absorption and scattering characteristics. This study investigated the effect of using an optical clearing agent (OCA) on tissue to improve the therapeutic effect of 1064 nm wavelength laser light by reducing the heat generated on the skin surface and increasing the penetration depth. Materials and Methods A diode laser (λ = 1064 nm) was applied to a porcine specimen with and without OCA to investigate the penetration depth of the laser light and temperature distribution. A numerical simulation using the finite element method was performed to investigate the temperature distribution of the specimen compared to ex-vivo experiments using a thermocouple and double-integrating sphere to measure the temperature profile and optical properties of the tissue, respectively. Results Simulation results showed a decrease in tissue surface temperature with increased penetration depth when the OCA was applied. Furthermore, both absorption and scattering coefficients decreased with the application of OCA. In ex-vivo experiments, temperatures decreased for the tissue surface and the fat layer with the OCA, but not for the muscle layer. Conclusion The use of an OCA may be helpful for reducing surface heat generation and enhance the light penetration depth in various near-infrared laser treatments.

지하에 매설된 각종 시설물의 위치 및 깊이를 조사하기 위한 비파괴적인 조사방법으로 GPR(Ground Penetrating Radar; 지하투과레이다; 지하레이다) 탐사법이 국내외적으로 많이 활용되고 있으나, 가탐심도가 일반적적로 5m이내로서 낮으며, 지하매질이 불균질하거나 점토, 염분, 자갈 등이 많은 곳 및 주변의 전자기적 잡음이 심한 곳에서는 조사가 안 되는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 비파괴 GPR 탐사법의 제약을 극복하고자 일반적인 매설심도(물리탐사적으로는 얕은 곳)에 위치한 지하매설물임에도 불구하고 탐지가 안 되는 지역을 선정하여, 토질분석에 의해 탐사가 되지 않는 원인규명과 함께 효과적으로 지하매설물을 탐지할 수 있는 새로운 비파괴 전자(電磁) 탐사법을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 2kHz-4MHz 대역의 지하조사를 위한 고주파수대역 전자탐사법을 개발, 적용하였다. 고주파수대역 전자 탐사는 주파수대역 탐사이며 인공적으로 에너지원(源)을 방출하는 능동적인 탐사법으로서 가탐심도는 약30m 정도이다. 서로 수직한 전기장과 자기장을 측정하여 임피던스를 계산하며, 이로부터 측점 하부의 수직적인 전기비저항 분포를 해석하게 된다. 또한, 비접촉 용량전극을 채택하여 측정시간을 대폭 줄일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 콘크리트, 아스팔트 및 잡석으로 포장된 지역에서도 조사가 용이하며, 신호중첩에 의해 고압선 등에 의한 잡음을 감소시킬 수 있게 되었다. 다른 탐사방법으로는 발견할 수 없었던 지하매설관에 대해서 본 고주파수대역 전자탐사를 성공적으로 정밀하게 적용할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 지하매설물의 위치 및 깊이 확인을 위한 정밀 지하측량 지반조사 및 문화 유적지조사 등에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
