Recently, a study on the mirror-like surface grinding of brittle materials is active and as branch of these study, new dressing method for superabrasive wheel, electrolytic inprocess dressing(Elid) was developed. Using Elid, the mirror-like surface of brittle material can be generated without polishing or lapping process. In the future, Elid grinding will take important place in industry. But so far the analysis on Elid grinding was not quantitative but qualitative. In this study, The purpose is the quantitative analysis on Elid grinding by computer simulation, For computer simulation, the mean and the variance of the abrasive distribution were measured by tracing of the grinding wheel with stylus in transverse direction in the case of respective dressing current condition. This measurement result in a density distribution of abrasive by mathematical formulation using statistical method. The prediction of the surface roughness in Elid grinding was based on this density distribution.

Treatment towards wound healing, a complex and dynamic process, has been given a great deal of efforts in the last few decades. Focus has been imposed on developing wound dressings that meet the requirements for proper wound healing. In this study, hydrogel made from blends of poly (vinyl alcohol) and ${\beta}$-1,6-branched-${\beta}$-1,3-glucan (beta-glucan) were synthesized by modified solvent casting method for wound dressing application. Optimization of hydrogel composition and analysis of wound dressing parameters such as stability and fluid uptake capacity (in the presence of water, saline and different pH solutions) has been studied. The result indicated that the PVA/beta-glucan hydrogel hold its structural integrity even at alkaline pH (pH~9) and upholds fluids four times of its original weight. Thus, the developed hydrogel is expected to be a promising candidate as wound dressing.

This study describes a patient with insufficient vestibular depth who was operated with a vestibuloplasty using a non-eugenol-based non-zinc oxide oral dressing material. Partial thickness flap was elevated on recipient. After stabilization of apical positioned flap, the dressing material was applied on the recipient site with additional fixation by suture. The patient presented minimal discomfort such as in pain, food impaction and management of oral hygiene. Adequate vestibular depth without relapse was observed until 4 weeks after surgery. The vestibuloplasty with the oral dressing material may be an option for obtaining proper vestibular depth without complications.

Purpose: The emergency of multi-drug resistant stains of bacteria represents a challenge in the field of plastic surgery. Especially, MRSA(methycillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa have strong pathogenicity as well as multi-drug resistance so that they have become a lot more problematic strains. This study has been planned to reduce the bacterial burden by applying $Acticoat^{(R)}$(Smith & Nephew Healthcare, Hull, England)dressing into the chronic wounds infected by multi-drug resistant strains and to facilitate their healing. Methods: Nanocrystalline silver dressings($Acticoat^{(R)}$) were applied to chronic wound infected by MRSA or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Multi-drug resistant bacteria were smeared over a slide glass using sterilized cotton swabs and gram stains were performed directly before and after applying $Acticoat^{(R)}$ dressings at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The gram-stained slides were observed using an optical microscope magnified 1000 times(${\times}1000$). The bacterial counts of the control group(0 hour) were compared to those of the experimental groups(1, 24, 48, and 72 hour). Paired T-test was used to assess a statistical significance. MRSA was cultured in two BAPs(blood agar plate) and two MacConkey plates with streak plate method. None were interventions on one culture plate, while on the other culture plate, $Acticoat^{(R)}$ was placed in a square shape and cultured for 72 hours at $37^{\circ}C$, then plates were examined. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cultured in the same manner as MRSA. Results: There are the large amount of declination of bacterial counts with statistical significance after $Acticoat^{(R)}$ dressing. The bacteria grew in culture plate without specific intervention, but no bacteria grew in culture plate with applying of $Acticoat^{(R)}$ dressing. Conclusion: We believe that $Acticoat^{(R)}$ dressing could be used as an effective method of treating chronic wounds which are infected by multi-drug resistant organisms.

This study aimed to determine the sensory acceptability of Gochujang dressing containing added Maesil (Prunus mune) concentrate. Gochujang dressing was blended with different concentrations of Maesil concentrate (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%). Moisture contents, L, a, b values, pH level, and sugar contents decreased, whereas acidity and viscosity increased with increasing Maesil contents. Salinity did not change significantly. For attribute difference test, as Maesil concentration increased, color intensity, savory flavor, sour flavor, hot taste, and mouthfeel decreased, whereas glossiness decreased. The acceptance test showed that 2% Maesil concentrate was the most preferable for appearance, taste, texture, and overall quality. In conclusion, the results indicate that addition of 2% Maesil concentrate to Gochujang dressing is optimal and provides good properties as well as reasonably high overall acceptability.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the cases of IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde to discuss power dressing characteristics represented in the fashion style of women political leaders. Study methods included literature reviews on the theoretical background of Christine Lagarde's Political Leadership formation and the power dressing of women political leaders. The results of the study were as follows. First, governor Christine Lagarde's fashion styles worn at formal events were summarized into suits, bags, scarves and jewelry. Clothing type was found to be 98% suits, 5% dress with the colors black, gray and white being worn the most, 84% were achromatic, blue tones and vivid tones were about 16%. Faborite accessories included scarves, jewelry and luxury bags. Scarves were higher frequency utilization at 51% of the total wear. Second, characteristics of power-dressing appearring as fashion styles were summarized as wealthy, honorable, having political power, being, charismatic or, feminine. Luxury suite luxury brands holds a sense of power with many believing they wealth, honor and charisma. Luxury bags, V-zone ornaments of scarves and, jewelry are items of power that people often wear in order to charisma and a symbol of power. They are also, used as an important element in portraying confidence and leadership as IMF governors.

In surface grinding, the contact between the grinding wheel and workpiece introduce heat and resistance, which restrict the self-dressing of the grits and result in burrs and cracks on the workpiece. Therefore, before or during the grinding operation, it is necessary to self-dress the grinding wheel for more accurate performance. In order to determine the dressing time monitoring method of grinding wheel in surface grinding, a three-dimensional computer simulation of the grinding operation has been attempted based on the contact mechanism and surface-shaping system between the grinding wheel and the workpiece. The optimal dressing time is determined based on the grain wear and work surface roughness.

Ferrite is widely used in the material of magnetic head, but is difficult of grinding because of their brittleness and hardness. Therefore, diamond wheel with superabrasive is required for surface grinding of this brittle material. But the conventional dressing method can not apply to the diamond wheel with superabrasive. In this study describes a newly proposed method for carrying out effective inprocess dressing of diamond wheel with superabrasive. Using the IEDD the surface roughness of workpiece was improved and grinding force was very low. Resently IEDD is good method to obtain the efficiency grinding and surface grinding of brittle materials.

Purpose: After periodontal surgery, studies have found that the use of periodontal wound dressing reduces the risk of wound infection and increases healing. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of attachable periodontal wound dressing on the healing and patient satisfaction after periodontal flap surgery. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight patients requiring periodontal surgery underwent periodontal flap surgery on both quadrants of maxilla or mandible. Postoperative pain, bleeding, dietary discomfort and hypersensitivity in relation to attachable periodontal wound dressing was assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Additional survey on frequency of burning sensation and overall satisfaction rates were assessed. Results: VAS mean values for pain, bleeding, and dietary discomfort depending on the presence and absence of attachable wound dressing were; pain: 2.82, 3.96 (P = 0.002), bleeding: 1.61, 2.54 (P = 0.008), dietary discomfort: 2.82, 4.18 (P < 0.001), respectively. Test groups with attachable wound dressing reported significantly lower rates of discomfort. No significant difference was observed in burning sensation and hypersensitivity related with wound dressing. Satisfaction was higher in 75% of patients who received wound dressing. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, patients who received attachable periodontal wound dressing reported less postoperative pain, bleeding, and dietary discomfort. There was no statistical significance related to the use of wound dressing with burning sensation and hypersensitivity.
