The implications of temperature $(25, 30 and 35{\times}1^{\circ}C)$ and relative humidity $(60, 70 and 80{\times}2%)$ on the moulting pattern, moulting duration and moulting survival were studied in the silkworm, Bombyx mori L. Larvae of two pure silkworm breeds, Pure Mysore (PM) and NB$_4$D$_2$and their hybrid, $PM{\times}NB_{4} D_{2}$ were reared under experimental conditions under natural day photoperiodic (LD 12:12) condition. Two developmental marker events in the fourth moulting, settling for moult (SM) and completion of moult (CM) occurred at or around the middle of the photophase. The computed mean vector (equation omitted), based on the circular statistics also confirmed the above. Temperature and humidity did not alter the moulting rhythmicity much. However, extreme temperature and humidity conditions reduced moulting survival in PM and $PM {\times}NB_{4} D_{2}$. Further, moulting survival reduced below the economic level in $NB_{4} D_{2}$. The temperature and humidity together seem to exert synergic impact on the moulting survival of the silkworm Bombyx mori, at least in $NB_{4} D_{2}$.

The mechanical properties of short carbon/glass fiber reinforced polypropylene are experimentally measured as functions of fiber content and nozzle diameter. Also, these properties are compared with the survival rate of reinforced fibers and fiber volume fraction using image analysis after pyrolytic decomposition. The survival rate of fiber aspect ratio as well as fiber volume fraction is influenced by injection processing condition, the used materials and mold conditions such as diameter of nozzle, etc. In this study, the survival rate of fiber aspect ratio is investigated by nozzle size variations in injection/mold sides. It is found that the survival rate of glass fiber is higher that the survival rate of glass fiber is higher than that of carbon fiber. Both tensile modulus and strength of short-fiber reinforced polypropylene are improved s the fiber volume fraction and nozzle diameter are increased.

Implant material, implant design, surface quality, status of the bone, surgical technique, and implant loading conditions were regarded as prerequisites for osseointegration which is a prime condition for implant success. The aim of this review paper was to investigate the survival rate of single implants in relation to the prerequisites for osseointegration. Fifty-eight papers reporting survival rates of single implants were selected by use of the 'PubMed' and hand searching. The survival rate of single implants were assessed with reference to factors influencing osseointegration. The results showed that single implants in general showed a high survival rate except a few failures in certain extreme conditions and early stages. Those failures and complications such as screw loosening and esthetic problem were almost solved with the development of implant components and surgical techniques and a better understanding of biology around a single implant. Single-tooth implant-replacement is now considered as a reliable and predictable treatment option for a single missing tooth and its application seems to expand to compromised situations which were previously thought to be impossible for single implant therapy.

Introduction: Maxillary posterior region, compared to the mandible or maxillary anterior region, has a thin cortical bone layer and is largely composed of cancellous bone, and therefore, it is often difficult to achieve primary stability. In such cases, sinus elevation with bone graft is necessary. Materials and Methods: In this research, 121 patients who had implant placement after bone graft were subjected to a follow-up study of 5 years from the moment of the initial surgery. The total survival rate, 5-year cumulative survival rate and the influence of the following factors on implant survival were evaluated; the condition of the patient (sex, age, general body condition), the site of implant placement, diameter and length of the implant, sinus elevation technique, closure method for osseous window, type of prosthesis and opposing teeth. Results: 1. The 5-year cumulative survival rate of total implants was 90.5%, there was no significant difference between sex, age, the site of implant placement, diameter and length of the implant, sinus elevation technique, and the type of opposing teeth. 2. Patients with diabetes mellitus < osteoporosis and smooth-surfaced machined group < hydroxyapatite (HA)-treated group and homogenous demineralized freeze dried allogenic bone (DFDB) bone graft only group had significantly lower survival rate. 3. With less than 4 mm of residual alveolar ridge height, lateral approach without closing the osseous window resulted in a significantly lower survival rate. 4. Restoration of a single implant showed a significantly lower survival rate, compared to cases where the superstructure was joined with several implants in the area. Conclusion: Patients with diabetes or osteoporosis need longer period of time for osseointegration compared to the normal, and the dentists must be prudent when choosing a surface treatment type and the bone graft material. Also, as the vertical dimension of the residual alveolar ridge can influence the result, staged implant placement should be considered when it seems difficult for the implant to gain primary stability from the residual bone with less than 4 mm of vertical dimension. It is recommended to obdurate the bone window and that the superstructure be connected with several impants in the peripheral area.

개량조개의 인공종묘생산을 위한 유생사육의 최적 사육환경과 먹이생물의 종류에 따른 유생의 성장 및 생존을 조사하였다. 수온에 따른 유생의 성장은 $18^{\circ}C$에서 $33^{\circ}C$까지 수온이 높을수록 빨랐으며, $23^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 사육 14일째 $230{\mu}m$ 이상 성장하였으나 $18^{\circ}C$에서는 $151.1{\mu}m$로 성장이 부진하였다. 염분별 유생사육 시 염분 30 psu에서 일간 성장은 $11.3{\mu}m$로 가장 빨랐고, 생존율도 65.8%로 가장 높았다. 개량조개 유생은 사육수 1 ml 당 10개체 이하의 밀도에서는 성장과 생존율이 양호하였으나 20개체 이상에서는 다소 성장이 늦어 유생의 사육밀도는 1 ml 당 10개체 이하가 가장 효과적이었다. 개량조개 유생의 빠른 성장과 생존율을 높일 수 있는 유생사육 최적 조건은 수온 $23^{\circ}C$, 염분 30-35 psu, 유생 수용밀도 1-10 개체/ml이었다. 유생사육 시 먹이생물은 미세조류 4종 [Isochrysis galbana, Pavlova lutheri, Isochrysis sp. (green), Chlorella ellipsoidea] 을 혼합 공급한 실험구에서 빠른 성장과 생존율을 높일 수 있으며, 먹이생물을 단일종만을 공급시 I. galbana와 Isochrysis sp. (green) 실험구에서 빠른 성장과 생존율을 높일 수 있었다. 따라서 개량조개 유생의 적정먹이는 I. galbana와 Isochrysis sp. (green)를 포함한 2종 이상을 혼합 공급하는 것이 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to invesitigate the impact of significant clinico-pathological prognostic factors on survival rates and to identify factors predictive of poor outcome in patients with ovarian carcinoma. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of 74 women with pathologically proven ovarian carcinoma who were treated between January 2006 and April 2011 was performed. Patients were investigated with respect to survival to find the possible effects of age, gravida, parity, menstruel condition, pre-operative Ca-125, treatment period, cytologic washings, presence of ascites, tumor histology, stage and grade, maximal tumor diameter, adjuvan chemotherapy and cytoreductive success. Also 55 ovarian carcinoma patients were investigated with respect to prognostic factors for early 2-year survival. Results: The two-year survival rate was 69% and the 5-year survival rate was 25.5% for the whole study population. Significant factors for 2-year survival were preoperative CA-125 level, malignant cytology and FIGO clinical stage. Significant factors for 5-year survival were age, preoperative CA-125 level, residual tumor, lymph node metastases, histologic type of tumor, malignant cytology and FIGO clinical stage. Logistic regression revealed that independent prognostic factors of 5-year survival were patient age, lymph node metastasis and malignant cytology. Conclusions: We consider quality registries with prospectively collected data to be one important tool in monitoring treatment effects in population-based cancer research.

원적외선이 생체에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 포유동물인 흰쥐를 대상으로 실험을 실시하였다. 원적외선이 발생되도록 특수설계된 장치를 이용하여 흰쥐의 생리상태, 생식활동 및 생존능력에 변화와 차이를 유발시키는지의 여부를 관찰한 결과, 물과 먹이의 소모량, 체중, 수태율, 출산율 및 새끼의 성비(性比)에 있어서 자연상태와 동일하였기 때문에 원적외선이 하등의 유해작용을 발생시키지 않는다는 사실을 확인하였고, 가혹한 실험상황에서 흰쥐의 생존력이 자연상태의 흰쥐보다 약 122% 증가한다는 결과를 얻으므로써 원적외선이 흰쥐의 체력과 지구력을 증강시키는 역할을 한다는 새로운 사실을 관찰하였다.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer-induced mortalities in Iranian women, following gastric carcinoma. The survival of these patients depends on several factors, which are very important to identify in order to understand the natural history of the disease. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 313 consecutive women with pathologically-proven diagnosis of breast cancer who had been treated during a seven-year period (January 2006 until March 2014) at Towhid hospital, Sanandaj city, Kurdistan province of Iran, were recruited. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for data analysis, and finally those factors that showed significant association on univariate analysis were entered in a Cox regression model. Results: the mean age of patients was $46.10{\pm}10.81$ years. Based on Kaplan-Meier method median of survival time was 81 months and 5 year survival rate was $75%{\pm}0.43$. Tumor metastasis (HR=9.06, p=0.0001), relapse (HR=3.20, p=0.001), clinical stage of cancer (HR=2.30, p=0.03) and place of metastasis (p=0.0001) had significant associations with the survival rate variation. Patients with tumor metastasis had the lowest five-year survival rate (37%)and among them patients who had brain metastasis were in the worst condition (5 year survival rate= $11%{\pm}0.10$). Conclusions: Our findings support the observation that those women with higher stages of breast malignancies (especially with metastatic cancer) have less chance of surviving the disease. Furthermore, screening programs and early detection of breast cancer may help to increase the survival of those women who are at risk of breast cancer.

Background: Pericardial effusion (PE) is a serious condition in cancer patients, primarily arising from malignant dissemination. Pericardial window formation is a surgical intervention for refractory PE. However, the long-term outcomes and factors associated with postoperative survival remain unclear. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 166 oncology patients who underwent pericardial window formation at Samsung Medical Center between 2011 and 2023. We analyzed survival and PE recurrence regarding surgical approach, cancer type, and cytopathological findings. To identify factors associated with survival, we utilized Cox proportional-hazards regression. Results: All patients had tumors documented in accordance with the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging manual, including lung (61.4%), breast (9.6%), gastrointestinal (9.0%), hematologic (3.6%), and other cancers (16.4%). Surgical approaches included mini-thoracotomy (67.5%) and thoracoscopy (32.5%). Postsurgical cytopathology confirmed malignancy in 94 cases (56.6%). Over a median follow-up duration of 50.0 months, 142 deaths and 16 PE recurrences occurred. The 1-year overall and PE recurrence-free survival rates were 31.4% and 28.6%, respectively. One-year survival rates were significantly higher for thoracoscopy recipients (43.7% vs. 25.6%, p=0.031) and patients with negative cytopathology results (45.1% vs. 20.6%, p<0.001). No significant survival difference was observed between lung cancer and other types (p=0.129). Multivariate analysis identified New York Heart Association class, cancer stage, and cytopathology as independent prognostic factors. Conclusion: This series is the largest to date concerning window formation among cancer patients with PE. Patients' long-term survival after surgery was generally unfavorable. However, cases with negative cytopathology or earlier tumor stage demonstrated comparatively high survival rates.

겨울철 시설내에서 정전 등으로 인하여 수시간 동안 작물체가 생육한계 온도로 경과시 오이묘에 나타나는 피해와 피해발생의 생리적 요인 및 피해 경감대책을 구명하기 위하여 저온처리 전후의 광환경 조건이 오이 묘의 생존율 및 생육반응에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 냉온처리(2$^{\circ}C$, 48시간)에 따른 오이묘의 생존율은 암기말인 07:00시 처리에서 30.6%이었고, 암기 개시기인 18:00시 처리에서는 92.2%로 높았다. 세포의 전해질 누출은 07:00시 처리에서(72시간) 57.1%, 18:00시 처리에서는 25.9%로 낮았다. 누출액중 무기이온 함량은 $K^{+}$ 이온이 가장 많았고, $Na^{+}$, $Mg^{+2}$ , $Ca^{+2}$ 순으로 적었다. 냉온처리전 야간에 광을 조사하면 생존율이 광 무처리에 비해 56% 더 높아졌으며, 광조사는 2시간 처리로 충분한 효과가 있었다. 광 조사에 의하여 생존율이 높아지는 것은 광합성에 의한 당함량의 증가 때문인 것으로 해석 되었다. 냉온처리(3$^{\circ}C$, 48시간) 기간중 광을 조사하면, 생존율이 43.3%로 낮아진 반면, 암조건에두면 92%로 높았다.
