Background: Optimal needle depth in transforaminal epidural injection (TFEI) is determined by body measurements and is influenced by the needle entry angle. Physician can choose the appropriate needle length and perform the procedure more effectively if depth is predicted in advance. Methods: This retrospective study included patients with lumbosacral pain from a single university hospital. The skin depth from the target point was measured using magnetic resonance imaging transverse images. The depth was measured bilaterally for L4 and L5 TFEIs at 15°, 20°, and 25° oblique angles from the spinous process. Results: A total of 4,632 measurements of 386 patients were included. The lengths of the left and right TFEI at the same level and oblique angle were assessed, and no statistical differences were identified. Therefore, linear regression analysis was performed for bilateral L4 and L5 TFEIs. The R-squared values of height and weight combined were higher than the height, weight, and body mass index (BMI). The following equation was established: Depth (mm) = a - b (height, cm) + c (weight, kg). Based on the equation, maximal BMI capable with a 23G, 3.5-inch, Quincke-type point spinal needle was presented for three different angles (15°, 20°, and 25°) at lumbar levels L4 and L5. Conclusions: The maximal BMI that derived from the formulated equation is listed on the table, which can help in preparations for morbid obesity. If a patient has bigger BMI than the one in the table, the clinician should prepare longer needle than the usual spinal needle.

This paper attempts to observe the histological structure of Korean Arisaema ringens $S_{CHOTT}{'s}$ rhizome, to identify it's constituent and to investigate the pharmacological action with it's alcohol extract. The results are : 1) The inner structure of rhizome on the transverse section is divided into external and internal tissues by the ring of intercellular secretary sac. Raphides of calcium oxalate contained in mucilage cell, collateral vascular bundle, are extremely similar to those contained in Pinellia ternata. 2) The organs of the pistillate Arisaema ringens are larger and more plentiful than those of the staminate Arisaema ringens. The sexual identification is easy in the flowering season. 3) The alkaloid is identified by Meyer reagent as white p.p.t. at pH 2 of sulfuric acid. 4) The saponin is indentified remarkably by means of foaming reaction, Lieberman-Burchard reaction and hemolytic reaction. 5) The effect of alcohol extract on the relaxation of the isolated intestine of the rabbit is remarkably shown at the concentration of $10^{-3}g/ml$. 6) The effect of alcohol extract on the isolated ractus muscle of the frog increases the constructive action of acetylcholine at the concentration of $10^{-3}g/ml$. 7) The effect of alcohol extract on the isolated heart movement of the frog is decreased remarkably at the concentration of $10^{-3}g/ml$. 8) The effect of alcohol extract on the blood pressure of the rabbit is decreased by an interavenous injection of $10^{-3}g/kg$.

When a secondary gaseous flow is injected vertically into a supersonic flow through circular nozzle, a complicated structure of flow field is produced around the injection area. The interaction between the two streams produces a strong bow shock wane on the upstream side of the side-jet. The results show that bow shock wave and turbulent boundary layer interaction induces the boundary layer separation in front of the side-jet. This study is to analyze the structure of flow fields and distribution of surface pressure on the flat plate according to total pressure ratio using a supersonic cold-flow system and also to study the control force of affected side-jet. The nozzle of main flow was designed to have Mach 2.88 at the exit. The injector has a sonic nozzle with 4mm diameter at the exit of the side-jet. In experiments, The oil flow visualization using a silicone oil and ink was conducted in order to analyze the structure of flow fields around the side-jet. The flow fields are visualized using the schlieren method. In this study, a computational fluid dynamic solution is also compared with experimental results.

Background: The carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common cause of severe hand pain. In this study we treated acute pain in CTS patients by means of local intradermal injections of anti-inflammatory drugs (mesotherapy). Methods: In twenty-five patients (forty-five hands), CTS diagnosis was confirmed by clinical and neurophysiological examination prior to mesotherapy. A mixture containing lidocaine 10 mg, ketoprophen lysine-acetylsalycilate 80 mg, xantinol nicotinate 100 mg, cyanocobalamine 1,000 mcg plus injectable water was used. Sites of injection were three parallel lines above the transverse carpal ligament and two v-shaped lines, one at the base of the thenar eminence, and the other at the base of the hypothenar eminence. Results: The day after the treatment, all but four patients reported a significant reduction in pain and paresthesias. After 12 months, 17 patients had a complete pain relief, eight patients reported recurrence of pain and sensory symptoms and four out of them underwent surgical treatment. Conclusions: With the obvious limits of a small-size open-label study, our results suggest that mesotherapy can temporary relieve pain and paresthesias in most CTS patients and in some cases its effect seems to be long-lasting. Further controlled studies are needed to confirm our preliminary findings and to compare mesotherapy to conventional approaches for the treatment of CTS.

The conventional non-dig underground structure building method which made an appearance to reduce the social and environmental costs and maximize the efficiency of the social overhead capital facilities could not help being uneconomical because of many problems such as unnecessary excessive excavation, water leakage, obstacle interference, difficulty of curvilinear application and connection complexity between propelled and injected bodies due to indiscriminate application of small and large circular steel pipes without consideration of the site conditions. The T.S.T.M, in which a protruded square tube is applied as a propulsion and injection body in a design that considered site conditions such as ground condition, depth of soil and live load, was able to be economical as it solved the problems of water resistance, minimization of obstacle interference and curvilinearity, and we can see that it can be applied to all grounds by utilizing or complementing the target ground in terms of engineering. Also in configuring the transverse section, it is possible to not only secure excellent structural safety but also implement all of the above engineering characteristics not only in the square cross section but also in the arch cross section, so it was possible to build structures on any section or ground, and we could confirm the LCC reduction effect and the VE effect.

The spray cross-section characteristics of two-phase spray that using external-mixing nozzle injected into a subsonic cross flow were experimentally studied with various ALR ratio that is $0{\sim}59.4%$. Suction type wind tunnel was used and experiments were conducted to ambient environment. Several plain orifice nozzles with L/d of 30 and orifice diameter of 0.5 mm and orifice length 1.5 mm were tested. Free stream velocity profiles at the injection location were measured using hot wire. Spray images were captured to study collision point and column trajectory. Phase Doppler particle analyzer(PDPA) was utilized to quantitatively measuring droplet SMD, volume flux. Measuring probe of PDPA positions was moved 3-way transverse machine. SMD distributions were layered structure and peaked at the top of the spray plume and low value at bottom of the spray. Volume flux of spray was distributed to the two side region and volume flux quantity decreased when ALR ratio increased. It was found that the perpendicularly injected two-phase spray jet of external mixing into a cross flow showing that mistlike spray moved away from the test section bottom region.

The fluorescence ratio method for processing planar laser induced fluorescence(PLIF) data was generalized for quantitative imaging of the injectant mole-fraction in supersonic mixing flowfields. The original fluorescence ratio approach was introduced by Hartfield et al. for tests in a special closed-loop wind tunnel to eliminate the effects of thermodynamic property variations in compressible flowfields and to provide a quantitative means of mole-fraction measurement. However, they implicitly assumed that the tracer molecules were seeded at the same fraction in both main and secondary flows. In the present study, we proposed generalizing the Hartfield method by considering differences in the tracer seeding rates. We examined the generalized method in a mixing flowfield formed by sonic transverse injection into a Mach 1.8 supersonic air stream. The injectant molefraction distribution obtained from PLIF data processed by our new approach showed better agreement with the gas chromatograph than one based on the Hartfield method.

여러 개의 층으로 구성된 토양층에서 연속주입 추적자시험을 수행하여, 불포화대와 포화대 구간에서의 수리분산특성 차이를 추적자의 농도이력곡선, 시간에 따른 농도변화 및 농도변화율, 그리고 거리에 따른 농도비 분석을 통해 비교 연구하였다. 연속주입 추적자시험에 의하면, 약 160시간이 경과된 후에 불포화대와 포화대에서 Rhodamine WT 최대농도의 차이는 약 $13{\sim}15$배 정도에 달하였고, 시험시간 대 추적자 농도증가율의 차이는 약 10배 정도로 나타났다. 또한 시간에 따른 추적자 농도이력곡선의 변화와 농도변화율이 불포화대에 비하여 포화대에서 크게 나타났다. 주입공에서의 이격거리에 따른 추적자의 농도비는 포화대 구간에서 더 빠르게 선형적으로 감소하였으며, 그 이후에 농도비가 2배 이하로 완만해 지는데 걸린 시간은 포화대 구간이 더 길었다. 이러한 차이들은 여러 개의 층서로 구성된 토양층의 포화대에서는 지하수가 존재하며, 또한 매질의 불균질성이 크고 투수성이 다양하기 때문에, 비교적 균질한 층서를 이루는 불포화대에 비하여 추적자 용액의 농도는 낮고, 추적자의 확산이 느리게 진행되어진데서 기인하였다. 그리고 포화대 구간에서의 유효공극율은 $10.19{\sim}10.50%$, 종분산지수는 $0.80{\sim}l.98m$, 횡분산지수는 $0.02{\sim}0.04m$의 범위로 산정되었으며, 실내주상시험의 종분산지수와 비교할 때 12배 이상의 규모종속효과가 나타났다.
