The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) test could be applied well in clinic of men, horses or dogs. But the ESR test was not applied to clinic ruminants except for buffaloes since it was too low measure. To overcome this problem angled tube method was developed. This method was found to be useful for making diagnosis and prognosis. The results were summarized as follows. 1. In the early pregnancy condition, corrected ESR did not changed when compared with normal valures. 2. In the middle pregnancy condition, corrected ESR was increased when compeared with normal valures. 3. In the latter pregnancy condition, corrected ESR was increased when compeared with normal valures. 4. After parturition condition, corrected ESR did not changed when compeared with normal valures.

In the present studies, samples of blood were taken from 24 Holstein cattle over 2 years old. By using the angled tube method the normal ESR values were determined in cattle under various diseases. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; The standardized ESR/hr using 45$^{\circ}$ angled capillary tubes were 19.0% in case of necrotic mastitis, 23.0% in nephritis, 12.2% in anemia and 4.2% in diarrhea. And the ESR was increased from some necrotic disease, decreased from diarrhea conditions and general the normal ESRs were shown in the sub-clinical or recovery stage of infections or disorders.

The measurement of angled erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), as a replacement for perpendicular ESR, for cattle blood was scrutinized since it has been well known that perpendicular ESR in cattle is too slow to be adopted as an effective clinical test. Samples of blood were taken from 186 Korean native cattle over 2 years old. The results obtained in the experiment were summarized as follows. 1. Average values of perpendicular ESR/24hrs in 15 apparently healthy cattle, as measured by Wintrobe, Westergren and capillary tubes, were $5.8{\pm}2.2$, $11.1{\pm}3.7$ and $10.4{\pm}4.5%$ respectively, which were found to be similar to the values of perpendicular ESR/hr of normal blood of human. 2. The ESR was determined in the tubes held at 90, 75, 60, 45, 30 and 15-degree angles, using 3 types of tubes. For the diagnostic purposes, the best results were obtained from the tubes held at 45-degree angle. 3. The angled ESR values increased as the diameters of the tube-bores decreased. 4. The tube length did not affect the angled ESR(%). 5. The angled ESR values increased with the increased environmental temperature during the ESR measurement. 6. The storage temperature at $5^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$, of the blood for 24 hours did not affect the angled ESR. 7. Samples of blood were treated with 4 kinds of anticoagulants (heparin, $K_2$-EDTA, double oxalate and sodium citrate) and the ESR was determined at 45-degree angle, using capillary hematocrit tubes. The ESR values were higher in the blood samples treated with sodium citrate than in those treated with other anticoagulants. 8. By using the autologous plasma, the PCV was adjusted to be 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50ml/100ml and the ESR was determined in the capillary hematocrit and Wintrobe tubes held at 45 degrees. In both of the methods the ESRs increased as the values of PCV decreased. The regressions of ESR to PCV in both 45-degree-angled capillary and Wintrobe tubes were curvilinear. For the capillary hematocrit tubes the second degree polynomial $Y=61.9779-2.3533x+0.0228x^2$ (r=0.9999) fits the data. And in the case of Wintrobe tubes the second degree polynomial $Y=27.9767-1.1314x-0.0117x^2$ (r=0.9998) fits the data. 9. The 45-degree angled ESR was determined in the blood of 71 healthy Korean native cows using capillary hematocrit tubes. The average PCV was $35.4{\pm}3.6ml/100ml$. The observed ESR/hr averaged $7.2{\pm}2.7%$, while the corrected ESR/hr to a PCV of 36ml/100ml averaged $6.6{\pm}1.3%$. From these results it was concluded that to obtain the best results the ESR/hr of Korean native cattle should be determined at 45-degree angle at room temperature($20^{\circ}C$) using capillary hematocrit tubes.

The purpose of this study is to develop a new method which enables the goat ESR to be used as an effective clinical test. Blood samples were taken from 61 Korean native goats aged above one year old and the effect of tube inclinations, tube bores, tube lengths, environmental temperatures during tests and packed erythrocyte volumes (PCV) on the ESR were observed. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The ESR/hr using capillary hematocrit tube (Micro-Ht-tube) was gradually increased as the tube angle inclined from 90 (vertical) to 15 degrees and the best angle in view of both security and fast sedimentation rate was found to be an angle of 45 degrees. 2. The 45-degree angled ESR ($45^{\circ}$-ESR) increased as the diameter of tube bore decreased. 3. The tube length did not affect the $45^{\circ}$-ESR in percent. 4. The $45^{\circ}$-ESR increased with the increased environmental temperature during the ESR test. 5. The heparinized Micro-Ht tubes did not affect the $45^{\circ}$-ESR of EDTA-blood in healthy group but in anemic group. In the anemic group, the ESRs by the heparinized Micro-Ht-tubes were slightly higher than those by non-heparinized Micro-Ht-tubes. 6. By using the autologous plasma, PCV of the blood was adjusted to be 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50ml/100ml and $45^{\circ}$-ESRs were determined in the Micro-Ht-tubes. The $45^{\circ}$-ESRs increased as the values of PCV decreased. The regression of the $45^{\circ}ESR$ to PCV was curvilinear with the second degree polynomial, $Y=42.1838-1.7355X+0.0180X^2$(r=0.9997). 7. The $45^{\circ}$-ESR/hr, using non-heparinized Micro-Ht-tubes at $20^{\circ}C$, was determined in 35 healthy Korean native goats. The average PCV was $30.6{\pm}1.4ml/100ml$. The observed ESR values averaged $6.8{\pm}1.7%$ and the corrected ESR values to the standard PCV of 31ml/100ml averaged $6.5{\pm}1.2%$. From these results, the angled capillary tube method was found to be desirable ESR test of goat blood in which EDTA-blood is filled in nonheparinized Micro-Ht-tubes held at an angle of 45 degrees for an hour at $20^{\circ}C$.

The study presents a computer-aided analysis and its design for the forming process of .OMEGA. -type bellows tubes. Finite element analysis was carried out to perform the process simulation. Bsed on the analytic results of various conditions, the forming conditions used for angled U-type bellows tubes were determined. The 3-D modeling was constructed by I-DEAS and the process simulation was constructed by PAM- STAMP. It is concluded that the difference of height between die and bellows during the forming process causes a non-uniform shape of the bellows and also influences .OMEGA. -shape. These results can be utilized for the process design.

어깨의 병변을 관찰하는 단순 방사선촬영법들 중 견관절을 보기 위한 대표적인 검사법으로 Shoulder oblique법(Grashey법)이 있다. 이 검사는 견관절의 정면상을 볼 수 있는 검사로 누운 자세에서 검사할 때는 몸의 한쪽 면을 거상시키는 자세를 취하여 검사를 시행한다. 하지만 몸이 불편하거나 수술직후의 환자들의 경우에는 이러한 자세를 취하는 것이 힘들기 때문에 견관절이 잘 묘출되는 영상을 얻기가 어렵다. 이러한 어려움을 개선하면서 견관절이 잘 나타나는 영상을 얻을 수 있는 방법을 모색해 보고자 누운 자세에서 몸의 한쪽면을 거상시키는 자세를 취하는 대신에 누운 자세를 취한상태에서 X-선관의 각도를 Medio-Lateral(몸의 중심에서 바깥쪽으로) 방향으로 변화시켜 영상을 획득하였다. 총 15명(남: 9, 여: 6)을 대상으로 검사를 시행하였으며 획득한 영상은 Picture archiving and communication system(PACS) 모니터에서 전문가 4명(정형외과 전문의 2명, 방사선과 전문의 2명)이 각각 독립적으로 평가하여 점수를 부여하였다. 그 결과, X-선관의 각도를 Medio-Lateral로 변화시킨 정도가 $25^{\circ}$인 영상에서는 상완골두와 견갑골이 겹쳐보였으며, $30^{\circ}$와 $35^{\circ}$인 영상에서는 상완골두와 견갑골이 분리되어 보였고, $40^{\circ}$인 영상에서는 상완골두와 견갑골이 분리되어 보였으나 영상이 많이 왜곡되어 나타났다. 영상의 평가점수는 각각 $25^{\circ}1.20{\pm}0.414$ (평균$\pm$표준편차), $30^{\circ}2.47{\pm}0.516$, $35^{\circ}2.87{\pm}0.352$, $40^{\circ}2.27{\pm}0.458$로 나타났고 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(p < 0.05). 왜곡의 정도는 $30^{\circ}$에서 적게 나타났고 $40^{\circ}$에서 심하게 나타났다. 누운 자세를 취한상태에서 X선관의 각도를 Medio-Lateral 방향으로 $30{\sim}35^{\circ}$ 주는 경우 가장 좋은 견관절 영상을 얻을 수 있었으나 이 방법이 Shoulder Oblique법보다 상완골두의 왜곡을 더 발생시키는 것도 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 이 방법은 몸이 불편한 환자들의 견관절을 검사하는데 매우 유용하게 사용할 수 있고 특히 응급환자의 경우 환자의 체위변화 없이 사용가능하다는 장점이 있다. 뿐만 아니라 체위변화가 없는 이 촬영법은 환자의 추적 검사 시에도 최적의 동일 X선관의 각도를 적용하기 때문에 이전검사와 거의 같은 영상을 얻을 수 있어서 영상의 비교에도 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective : As a minimally invasive strategy, endoscopic technique was introduced for removal of the traumatic intracerebral hematoma. Material and Method : A 54-year-old man with three-day history of seizure and progressive mental deterioration after traffic accident was presented. Computerized Tomography(CT) of the brain showed a huge intracerebral hematoma on the right frontal lobe and ventricle. The operation was performed via right frontal superolateral keyhole with 2cm eyebrow skin incision. Using 0-degree and 30-degree angled lens 4mm rigid endoscopes, nearly all of the hematoma was evacuated under the direct endoscopic visualization and a ventricular catheter was exactly placed into the frontal horn of the right lateral ventricle at the end of procedure. Results : The seizure was discontinued and neurological status had been improved during postoperative periods. Postoperative CT demonstrated that most of the hematoma was removed and the ventricular drainge tube was exactly placed in the right foramen of Monro. Conclusion : With endoscopic technique, the authors successfully evacuated traumatic intracerebral hematoma and exactly placed the ventricular drainage catheter under direct visualization. This technique may be considered as an another option for removal of traumatic intracerebral hematoma.
