PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between craniovertebral angle (CVA) and cardiorespiratory function ($VO_2max$ and $VCO_2max$) in young adults. METHODS: For this study, the students of D college were questioned and 50 members of D college were participated in our research.. Side-view pictures of each subject were taken in standing positions, in order to assess forward head posture (FHP) by measuring the craniovertebral angle. The craniovertebral angle was measured as the angle between a horizontal line at C7 and a line from the tragus of the ear to the spinous process of C7. And $VO_2max$ and $VCO_2max$ were measured by Quark CPET (cosmed co, USA) while the subjects were performed the treadmill running task of a intensity to set with respiratory mask. Subjucts were Then Pearson's correlation coefficient was calculated to estimate the relationship between craniovertebral and cardiorespiratory function ($VO_2max$ and $VCO_2max$) using SPSS for window. RESULTS: There was a significant positive correlation between craniovertebral angle and $VO_2max$ during treadmill running task (r=0.528, p<0.05). And there was a significant positive correlation between craniovertebral angle and $VO_2max$ during treadmill running task (r=0.566, p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Foreward head posture is related to cardiorespiratory function, and it has a negative correlation with cardiorespiratory function.

The objective of this work was to study the properties of purification of two liquid phase for exclusion of impurities in each phase. The experiments for process variables were carried out in the temperature range($H_{2}SO_{4}$ phase: $413{\sim}513$ K, $HI_{x}$ phase: $353{\sim}453$ K) and in the $N_{2}$ flow rate range($H_{2}SO_{4}$, $HI_{x}$ phase: $50{\sim}200$ mL/min). As the results, it is appeared that the principles of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ phase purification was due to stripping, evaporation and reverse bunsen reaction and $HI_{x}$ phase purification was due to stripping and reverse bunsen reaction. In purification of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ phase, the concentration rate of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ phase was controled by temperature but the temperature had few effects on yield of $H_{2}SO_{4}$. In purification of $HI_{x}$ phase, we observed products of side reactions($H_{2}S$, S) over 433 K. The purity of $HI_{x}$ phase was increased with increasing $N_{2}$ flow rate because impurites were decreased with increasing conversion of reverse reaction.

This study was performed to develop a low Pt content catalyst as a catalyst for HI decomposition in S-I process. Bimetallic catalysts added various amounts of Pt on a silica supported Ni catalyst were prepared by impregnation method. HI decomposition was carried out using a fixed bed reactor. As a result, Ni-Pt bimetallic catalyst showed enhanced catalytic activity compared with each monometallic catalyst. Deactivation of Ni-Pt catalyst was not observed while deactivation of Ni monometallic catalyst was rapidly occurred in HI decomposition. The HI conversion of Ni-Pt bimetallic catalyst was increased similar to Pt catalyst with increase of the reaction temperature over a temperature range 573K to 773K. From the TG analysis, it was shown that $NiI_2$ remained on the Ni(5.0)-Pt(0.5)/$SiO_2$ catalyst after the HI decomposition reaction was decomposed below 700K. It seems that small amount of Pt in bimetallic catalyst increase the decomposition of $NiI_2$ generated after the decomposition of HI. Consequently, it was considered that the activity of Ni-Pt bimetallic catalyst was kept during the HI decomposition reaction.

Purpose: To examine knowledge and attitudes of nurses on post-operative pain, and to find the factors that hinder pain management by the nurses. Method: Data was collected using a questionnaire from all the nurses working in the surgical units and intensive care units in a hospital in Seoul between March 12 and 22, 2007. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, $x^2$ test, and Pearson Coefficient Correlation. Result: The average knowledge score on pain was $9.33{\pm}1.55$, and that for analgesics was $6.89{\pm}2.00$. There was a significant difference in knowledge of analgesics in terms of career(p=0.012), present work place(p=0.024) and education(p=0.042). The knowledge on pain etiology was significantly different in career. Around 61.1% of respondents answered that they would administer analgesics immediately if patients complaint pain, and 94.1% re-administer analgesics if the VAS score is over 5.69.3% thought that their knowledge was adequate for pain management. The attitudes of pain management were significantly different in career. Conclusion: We found that a further improvement on nurses' knowledge on pain management and analgesics is necessary. This study also suggests a need for professional education for nurses on post-operative pain management.

유한요소법은 구조물의 정적해석과 동적해석의 강력한 도구로 이용되고 있다. 정적인 해석에 있어서는 상당히 정확도가 높지만 진동해석에서는 여전히 정확성이 떨어진다. 주파수응답함수(FRF)는 저주파 영역에서는 비교적 쉽게 맞출 수 있으나 고주파 영역으로 가면 실제 구조물이 나타내는 현상과는 차이가 커지고, 감쇠의 해석적 발견의 어려움으로 인하여 진동 진폭을 예측하기 어렵다. 따라서 구조물의 형상에 따라 유한요소법을 적절히 수정하여서 적용할 필요가 있다. 여기에서는 평판에 대하여 유한요소 해석을 하고, 실험을 통하여 결과를 비교하고, 차이를 보정하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 전혀 가공하지 않은 평판의 데이터를 그대로 이용할 경우 같은 구조물의 해석 결과인지 의심스러울 정도이지만, 영계수만의 조정으로도 상당히 근접한 해석 결과를 보인다. 그러나 이 역시 한계가 있어서 유전알고리즘을 이용한 모델의 치수의 조정과 감쇠계수의 추정을 통하여 거의 완벽한 모델을 제안할 수 있었다.

We examined ethanol extracts prepared from 23 Korean local plants obtained in Pyeongchang, Gangwon-do for their inhibitory effects on recombinant human AKR 1 B10 (rhAKR1B10) in vitro. To do this, rhAKR1B10 was first expressed in E. coli as a biological active form and purified by using Ni-affinity chromatography followed by gel permeation chromatography. Then, rhAKR1B10 was used for screening out 23 Korean local plant extracts having an inhibitory activity against itself. Among them, six extracts showed more than 50% inhibition of rhAKR1B10 activity at the concentration of $10{\mu}g$/ml. Especially, the extracts of Ligularia fischeri var. spiciformis Nakai and Rhus trichocarpa Miq. were the most potent because their $IC_{50}$ values were 2.94 and $2.00{\mu}g$/ml, respectively.

Background and Objectives: The goals of laryngeal reconstruction have been prevention of aspiration, production of a functional voice, and maintenance of an adequate airway for decannulation. It is generally believed that the reconstruction of the glottic region after vertical partial laryngectomy (VPL) can improve laryngeal function. The objective of this study is to evaluate of voice function after VPL with mucosal flap and fat graft reconstruction. Materials and Methods: From 1994 to 2006, 13 patients, who had been treated with VPL with mucosal flap and fat graft reconstruction. The voice characteristics, acoustic, aerodynamic parameter were measured in 13 patients after vertical partial laryngectomy with mucosal flap and fat graft reconstruction. Acoustic analysis was carried out using Computerized Speech Lab (CSL) and aerodynamic analysis were carried out using Aerophon II,3 months and 12 months after surgery. Results: The GRBAS scale, jitter, shimmer, NHR were improved as time goes on after surgery. But, maximum phonation time was shortened after surgery and there is no significant differences between before and after surgery in mean flow rate. Conclusion: The voice function of the mucosal flap and fat graft reconstruction after VPL were satisfactory. This can be an excellent reconstruction method after vertical partial laryngectomy.

Angiosarcomas are rare tumors, seen most commonly in the skin and soft tissue of head and neck legion. But it has been described in numerous body sites including thyroid, breast, liver, spleen, bone, etc.. Their biological behaviors depend on the microscopic grade, site of origin, and multifocality. We report the unique cytological features of an angiosarcoma in pleural fluid. A 61-year-old woman presented with a 6 month history of dyspnea on exertion and chest pain. Chest computerized tomography(CT) revealed multiple subpleural small nodules in the right lung and widespread all space consolidation and pleural effusion in the left lung. CT of liver revealed multiple small low attenuated lesion. The smears obtained from pleural fluid showed hypocellularity with a hemorrhagic background. The tumor cells were highly pleomorphic oval or spindle in shape and presented singly, in loose groups, in knitted syncytial aggregates, and in acinar pattern. Their nuclei had vesicular chromatin with delineated, thick nuclear membranes and occasionally a large eosinophilic, prominent nucleolus. The cytoplasm was plump, thin or protected in spindly fashion. Almost ail tumor cells showed variable sized intracytoplasmic vacuoles and their nuclei were sometimes crescentic by a huge vacuole. Occasional binucleated tumor cells and mitotic figures were present. Cellular debris and streaky materials were identified. Needle biopsy specimen from the pleura revealed anastomosing slit-like spaces lined by pleomorphic tumor cells. The tumor cells showed a strong reactivity for CD31 and vimentin and focal weak reactivity for factor VIII-related antigen.

We report here an ectopic case of Fasciola hepatica infection confirmed by recovery of an adult worm in the mesocolon. A 56-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with discomfort and pain in the left lower quadrant of the abdomen. Abdominal CT showed 3 abscesses in the left upper quadrant, mesentery, and pelvic cavity. On surgical exploration, abscess pockets were found in the mesocolon of the sigmoid colon and transverse colon. A leaf-like worm found in the abscess pocket of the mesocolon of the left colon was diagnosed as an adult fluke of F. hepatica. Histologically, numerous eggs of F. hepatica were noted with acute and chronic granulomatous inflammations in the subserosa and pericolic adipose tissues. Conclusively, a rare case of ectopic fascioliasis has been confirmed in this study by the adult worm recovery of F. hepatica in the mesocolon.
