  • Background: Otitis media with effusion(OME) is one of the most common disease in childhood. Patient suffers from OME in many quarters. For example hearing loss, effects on speech, language, learning, behaviouralchanges etc. But the diagnosis of OME is difficult using only medical history and otoscopy. So, many other diagnostic tools are developed and tympanometry is one of them. When OME is treated by oriental medical Tx, tympanometry would be useful instrument. Objectives: To gain insight into the usability of tympanometry in F/U of OME treated by oriental medial Tx. Methods: Data was collected from 123 ears of 74 children who was treated by oriental medical Tx. Data includes sex, age, period of Tx, elapsed time to be improved, tympanograms and accompanied symptoms. The relationship between items was analysed by statistical methods. Results: There is no relationship between age, sex and period of Tx/elapsed time to be improved. When cough and phlegm is accompanied, the period of treatment and elapsed time to be improved are expanded. When improvement was seen on tympanogram, the period of treatment is expanded but the improvement was seen within 30days, the period of treatment is reduced. Conclusion: The application of tympanometry in oriental medical treatment of OME would provide us many informations about the status of patient so it will be helpful to predict the history of a case and to make a decision whether keep up treatment or not.

  • Using chlorophyll fluorescence, the vertical migration of benthic diatoms responding to light intensity and affected by sediment grain size was studied. Minimal fluorescence ($F_o$) of surface sediment was measured by imaging pulse amplitude modulated (Imaging-PAM) fluorometer, and used to monitor diatom biomass variation in surface sediments. The test diatoms, Amphora coffeaeformis (C. Agardh) K$\ddot{u}$tzing and Cylindrotheca closterium (Ehrenberg) Reimann & Lewin, migrated to the sediment surface under irradiance from 50 to 500 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$. However, the diatoms exhibited no evident increase of surface biomass under dark conditions, and even showed slightly decrease of surface biomass under irradiances over 1,000 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$. The light intensity inducing the maximum surface migration of A. coffeaeformis was 100 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$, while the light intensity producing the same effect for C. closterium was 250 ${\mu}mol$ photons $m^{-2}s^{-1}$. C. closterium showed higher motility than A. coffeaeformis. Faster diatom surfacing was observed in larger grain size sediments (125-335 ${\mu}m$) than smaller ones (63-125 ${\mu}m$). This study confirmed the significant influence of light as a main triggering factor behind migration, indicated the distinct effect of different sediment grain size, and highlighted the species-specific migratory ability.

  • The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has proposed a threshold limit value (TLV) for benzene of 0.1 ppm. Individuals representing the American Petroleum Institute (API)and the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) have argued that 1) the risk assessment by Rinsky .et al. which ACGIH partially relied upon for its proposed TLV overestimates the risk; however, at the exposures levels of interest - (e.g., 0.1 to 1.0 ppm) for establishing a benzene TLV, the Rinsky et al. assessment provides lower estimates of leukemia risk than most others; 2) ACGIH should not use the Dow study for direct observational evidence of leukemia risk associated with low-level benzene exposure because of confounding exposure; however, it is unlikely that confounding exposures played a role in the excess of leukemia demonstrated in the study, and the Dow cohort was exposed to an average benzene concentration of about 5.5 ppm benzene for 7.11 years (31:1.5 ppm-years), while some of the individuals in the study who died from leukemia were exposed to an average of only 1.0 ppm without the opportunity for highpeak exposures; 3) the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) established an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 1.0 ppm in 1987, and there is no new evidence that would justify reducing the TWA below that level; however, the OSHA TWA of 1.0 ppm was based on economic feasibility and the level of excess risk remaining at 1.0 ppm, i.e., 10 excess leukemia deaths per 1000 workers over an occupational lifetime (45 years) according to OSHA's preferred estimate leaves behind I risk considered significant by OSHA. In addition, chromosomal studies among workers and in animals exposed to benzene indicate that low-level exposure, i.e., 1.0 ppm, is associated with elevated Cytogenetic damage. On the basis of adverse health effects data alone, in this author's opinion, it would be poor science and poor public health policy to establish a benzene TLV greater than 0.1 ppm.

  • 유기용매의 탈수화 공정의 거동을 예측할 수 있는 투과증발 판틀형 모듈에 대한 전산모사 모델을 확립하였는데 이는 공정의 분석 및 최적화의 도구로 사용할 수 있다. 확립한 모델은 물질, 열 및 농도 수지식으로 이루어졌으며 유한요소법의 수치해석을 사용하여 각 투과 특성들은 계산하였다. 본 전산모사에서는 모듈내 각 두개의 막 사이에 있는 단일 공급유로를 기본 미분단위부피로 사용함으로써 계산과정을 단순화하초 계산시간을 단축할 수가 있었다. 또한 모델식에 각 파라메타들을 실제 공정에서 직접 구하여 사용함으로써 공정모사의 정확성을 얻을 수가 있었다. 모사모델의 타당성을 화인하기 위해서 에탄올/물 혼합물을 모델 혼합물로 선정하여 상업 투과막인 $AzeoSep^{TM}$-2002를 통한 투과실험을 행하여 각 투과 특성들을 얻었으며 얻은 이들 값들과 모사 모델식으로부터 계산된 값들과 비교한 결과 서로 잘 일치함을 보여 본 모사모델의 타당성을 입증하였다. 또한 모사모델을 사용하여 연속식 및 회분식 투과공정에서의 에탄을 탈수 공정을 모사하였는데 모사 결과들은 공정 분석 및 최적화를 위한 기본자료로 활용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 모사결과를 토대로 회분식 공정과 연속식 공정을 비교 분석하였다.

  • The present study aimed at determining the effective dose of Folltropin, a follicle timulating hormone (FSH), on superovulation in indigenous cows of Bangladesh. Fifteen regularly cycling 5~7 years old dry cows, weighing 200~250 kg with 2.5~3.0 body condition scores (BCS) were divided into three groups (n=5). Individual groups were superovulated with 100, 200 or 300 mg of Folltropin per animal. The superovulation treatment was initiated at Day 10 or Day 11 of the estrous cycle (Day 0=day of estrus). Alfaprostol (6 mg) was injected to each cow 72 h after the initiation of superovulation treatment to induce eestrus. After confirming standing estrus, the cows were inseminated 2~3 times, 12 h apart, depending on the duration of estrus. At Day 6 or Day 7, individual horns of the uterus were flushed with 150~200 $m\ell$ of phosphate buffered saline supplemented with BSA (0.2%), penicillin (100 IU/$m\ell$) and streptomycin (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$$m\ell$) using a two-way foley catheter. The embryos were concentrated, removing the excess medium through an embryo filter, and identified under a stereomicroscope. The identified embryos were collected, washed four times, evaluated and graded as excellent, good, fair or poor. The excellent, good and fair embryos were considered as transferable quality embryos. The mean (range). numbers of embryos collected vs. transferable quality embryos far 100, 200 and 300 mg of Folltropin were 4.5 (1~10) vs. 3.5 (1~8); 2.5 (1~4) vs. 1 (0~2) and 0.0 (0~0) vs. 0.0 (0~0), respectively, Folltropin at a dose of 100 or 200 mg produced suitable ovarian stimulation for superovulation in indigenous zebu cows of Bangladesh. A dose of 300 mg or more Folltropin consistently caused preovulatory corpora lutea formation in the ovaries and resulted in zero embryo recovery.

  • The present study is concerned with the bacteriological examination of retort pouched loach soup and soybean paste soup containing mud snail. It was found that before sterilization, viable cell counts (c.f.u/ml) in their media were for the loach soup 3.80${\times}$106 on TSA, 2.27${\times}$102 Endo agar, 5.20${\times}$102 on SS agar. With the culture media, SDA and TCBS, no microorgarnisms were isolated from the both soups. Sixteen species of microorgarnisms were identified for the unsterilized soups. In the loach soup on TSA, B. pantothenticus was the dominant species, followed by S. dysenteriae, C. sporogenes and some others were also identified, such on TSA, B. marinus was the dominant species, followed by S. aureus, S. saccharolytics and P. tetradius, S. adorifera, E. ictahuri, E. gergoviae, E. coli were also identified. On Endo agar, the two soups showed a similar bacteriological pattern, in which entrobacterium such as E. gergoviae and E. coli were identified. Particularly K. subsp. rhinoscleromatis for the loach soup. On SS agar, S. ficaria and P. prevotii in the loach soup, S. ficaria and P. tetradius in the soybean paste soup were identified respectively. Bacteriological examination was also carried out for the spoiled retort pouched soup in the market, in which thirteen microorgarnisms were isolated and its pattern almost similar to that before sterilzation. They were B. pantothenticus, S. dysenteriae, C. sporogenes, P. gergoviae, E. ictaluri, S. ficaria, K. subsp. rhinoscleromatis in the loach soup and B. marinus, S. aureus, S. saccharolytics, P. tetradius, E. ictaluri, S. ficaria, S. adorifera in the soybean soup.
