This study investigates the seasonal variation and spatial distribution characteristics of pollutant load, as executing the quality valuation of pollutant load inflowing into Yeong-il Bay from on-land including the Hyeong-san River. Annual total pollutant generating rate from Yeong-il Bay region are 202ton-BOD/day, 620ton-SS/day, 42ton-TN/day, and 16ton-TP/day, respectively. Particularly, the generating ration of the pollutant loads from the Hyeong-san River is greater than that of any other watershed of the Yeong-il Bay, of which BOd is about 78.2％, SS 88.5％, T-N 62.5％, T-P 73.1％, As calculating Tank model with input value of daily precipitation and evaporation of 2001 year in drainage basin of the Hyeong-san River, the estimated result of the annual river discharge effluence from this river is 830106㎥, As a result to estimating annual effluence rate outflowing at the rivers from each drainage basin. annual inflow pollutant rates are 10,633ton-BOD/year, 19,302ton-SS/year, 15,369ton-TN/year, 305ton-TP/year, respectively. The population congestion region of the Pohang-city is a greater source of pollutant loads than the Neang-Chun region with wide drainage area. Therefore, the quantity of TN inflowing into Yeong-il Bay is much more than T-P. The accumulation of pollutant load effluenced from on-land will happen at the inner coast region of Yeon-il Bay. Finally, We would make a prediction that the water quality will take a bad turn.

Purpose: Low - molecular - weight dextran is one of the most frequently used antithrombotic agents in microvascular surgery, but there is controversy if it has the real benefit in the clinical aspects. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect associated with postoperative use of low - molecular - weight dextran in breast reconstruction by free TRAM flap patients. Methods: From January 2002 to October 2008, we reconstructed 88 cases of postmastectomy deformity using the free TRAM flap. The 88 cases were divided into two groups : a group with no use of dextran(66 patients, control group, Group A) and a postoperative low - molecular weight dextran loaded group(22 patients, Group B). We assessed number of flap survival, rate of complication like hematoma or seroma, total amount of drainage from operative wound, duration of drainage, and amount of transfusion in each group. Results: There was no total flap loss and every flap was survived. Total amount of drainage for post - operative 5 days were 857 ml in group A and 1101 ml in group B. Drain was kept for average of 7.3 days in group A and 8.7 days in group B. Packed red cell transfusions were made in average of 3.3 units for group A and 3.0 units for group B. Group B showed significantly higher values in former 2 comparative parameters than group A. Conclusion: There was no definitive advantage of anticoagulants in elective free - flap surgery in terms of success rate. However, groups with using anticoagulants had the increased bleeding tendency in immediate postoperative period. The routine use of anticoagulants in elective free - flap surgery should be reconsidered with postoperatively less bleeding and early recovery.

Background: Delayed sternal closure (DSC) is a useful option for patients with intractable bleeding and hemodynamic instability due to prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass and a preoperative bleeding tendency. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) has been widely used for sternal wound problems, but only rarely for DSC, and its efficacy for mediastinal drainage immediately after cardiac surgery has not been well established. Therefore, we evaluated the usefulness of DSC using VAC in adult cardiac surgery. Methods: We analyzed 33 patients who underwent DSC using VAC from January 2017 to July 2022. After packing sterile gauze around the heart surface and great vessels, VAC was applied directly without sternal self-retaining retractors and mediastinal drain tubes. Results: Twenty-one patients (63.6%) underwent emergency surgery for conditions including type A acute aortic dissection (n=13), and 8 patients (24.2%) received postoperative extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. Intractable bleeding (n=25) was the most common reason for an open sternum. The median duration of open sternum was 2 days (interquartile range [25th-75th pertentiles], 2-3.25 days) and 9 patients underwent VAC application more than once. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 27.3%. Superficial wound problems occurred in 10 patients (30.3%), and there were no deep sternal wound infections. Conclusion: For patients with an open sternum, VAC alone, which is effective for mediastinal drainage and cardiac decompression, had an acceptable superficial wound infection rate and no deep sternal wound infections. In adult cardiac surgery, DSC using VAC may be useful in patients with intractable bleeding or unstable hemodynamics with myocardial edema.

Background/Aims: Endoscopic ultrasound gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is gaining attention as a treatment method for cholecystitis. However, only a few studies have assessed the outcomes of permanent stenting with EUS-GBD. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of permanent stenting using EUS-GBD. Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center cohort study. The criteria for EUS-GBD at our institution are a high risk for surgery, inability to perform surgery owing to poor performance status, and inability to obtain consent for emergency surgery. EUS-GBD was performed using a 7-Fr double-pigtail plastic stent with a dilating device. The primary outcomes were the recurrence-free rate of cholecystitis and the late-stage complication-avoidance rate. Secondary outcomes were technical success, clinical success, and procedural adverse events. Results: A total of 41 patients were included in the analysis. The median follow-up period was 168 (range, 10-1,238) days. The recurrence-free and late-stage complication-avoidance rates during the follow-up period were 95% (38 cases) and 90% (36 cases), respectively. There were only two cases of cholecystitis recurrence during the study period. Conclusions: EUS-GBD using double-pigtail plastic stent was safe and effective with few complications, even in the long term, in patients with acute cholecystitis.

Unstable seedling stand establishment of wet direct seeding culture of rice is one of the major elements preventing the extension of its culture area. In order to develop methods of seedling stand improvement in direct seeded rice on flooded surfaces, three field experiments were conducted on silty loam soil using a cultivar 'Donjinbyeo' for three years, mainly focusing on water management after seeding and seed soaking with plant growth regulators (PGRs). Under the condition of shallow flooding after seeding, seedling stand rate increased and floating seedling rate decreased in both early and normal season seeding compared to deep flooding. With earlier draining time after seeding, there was a tendency towards preferential growth of the seminal root, increase of seedling stand and decrease of the floating seedling rate. Therefore the highest seedling numbers per unit area and the lowest floating seedling numbers were found upon drainage at 1 day after seeding (DAS), while a contrary tendency was shown upon conventional drainage at 7 DAS. Seed soaking with PGRs such as Metalaxyl or mixing of Metalaxyl with gibberellic acid (GA$_3$) significantly increased the seedling stand. In addition the effects of PGR treatment on seedling stand and the early growth of plants were greater under flooded conditions than under drained conditions after seeding, although draining of water after seeding improved the seedling establishment rate more when compared with the PGR treatment. These results suggest that draining management after seeding or maintaining of shallow flooding for a week is the most effective method to improve the seedling stand rate in wet direct seeding.

To solve the problems of operating passive mine drainage treatment systems, the In Adit Sulfate Reducing System(IASRS) was suggested. By placing the SAPS inside the adit, the condition of constant temperature of 10~15$^{\circ}C$ can be maintained. The experiments using the models made up by four sections showd good efficiencies in pH control and metal removal rate, but showed still low sulfate removal rate of about 30% with high COB in the begining of the operation.

EC 기준 순환식 양액재배에서 식물의 양분 흡수와 배액율은 재사용 양액 내의 이온 비율과 농도에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 파프리카(Capsicum annum L. 'Boogie')의 EC 기준 순환식 양액재배에서 시간과 배액율에 따른 이온 농도의 변화를 분석하기 위해 수행하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서 수집된 배액을 EC $2.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 조정하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합하여 재사용 하고 주기적으로 샘플링 하여 이온의 농도를 분석하였다. 두번째 실험은 7%, 16%, 39%, 51%의 배액율을 적용하고 배액과 배액을 원수로 희석하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합하였을 때의 EC 변화와 이온 농도를 분석하고 비교하였다. 재사용 양액에서의 $K^+$ : $Ca^{2+}$와 $SO_4^{2-}$ : $NO_3^-$와 같은 이온 간의 비율 변화를 조사하였다. 첫번째 실험에서의 이온 농도의 변화 범위는 각각 $K^+$ 1.13, $Ca^{2+}$ 5.35, $Mg^{2+}$ 0.92, $NO_3^-$ 0.9 $SO_4^{2-}$ 1.10, $PO_4^{3-}$ $0.19meq{\cdot}L^{-1}$이었다. 이온 간의 비율 변화는 양이온에서는 주로 $K^+$ : $Ca^{2+}$을 중심으로 음이온에서는 $NO_3^-$ : $SO_4^{2-}$을 중심으로 나타났다. 두 번째 실험에서 배액율에 따른 배액의 배액율이 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 배액 내 각 이온의 농도도 배액율의 증가에 따른 감소 경향을 보였다. 배액율에 따른 배액 내 이온 간의 비율 변화에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나 배액을 희석하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합함에 따라 교정 효과에 차이가 나타났다. 7% 의 배액율이 새 양액의 이온 비율에 가장 근접하였으며, 16%, 51% 39% 순으로 교정되었다. 교정에 따른 이온 비율 변화는 $K^+$ : $Ca^{2+}$와 $NO_3^-$와 $PO_4^{3-}$를 중심으로 나타났다.

이 연구에서는 실내에서 스미어가 발생한 지반을 모사하고 배수재 간격에 따른 스미어의 영향이 차후의 압밀거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 대형압밀챔버와 모형 맨드렐 관입 장비를 이용하여 다양한 압밀시험을 실시하였고 연직배수공법의 효율을 분석하였다. 실험결과 과압밀 영역에서는 스미어의 영향범위가 증가함에 따라 침하량도 증가하였으나, 정규압밀영역에서 스미어에 의한 침하량의 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 일반적으로 연직배수재를 설치한 경우 압밀속도를 향상시킬 수 있지만, 배수재 간격비가 감소하고 배수거리가 짧아지더라도 짧아진 배수거리만큼 압밀속도가 빨라지지는 않으며 오히려 압밀효율은 감소한다.
