This research compared and analyzed the heart rate of the patient in which the LVEF value is 40% less than and normal patient. When as for LVEF 40% or less becomes to each heart rate and LVEF in a relation, we can know that the time to reach 100HU hangs long. Therefore, in patients, that is 40% less than, when setting up the Premonitoring delay, we could know to could give 5 primary solid phrases. It is seen that subsequently an addition injected 40cc as to Saline, to all patients by 4cc/sec speeds after injecting the capacity of Scan time ${\times}$ 4cc + 30cc with 4cc/sec speeds. And HR excludes 80 or greater in 40% less than, the contrast agent shows the large-scale difference. In addition, in 40% less than, it could predict that the time difference was big and the contrast agent was already out in the Left ventricle Wash- when the contrast agent reached 100HU and Scan was started There is a wide difference between under 40% LVEF and normal. when starting scan from low LVEF patients. So, Injection contrast media protocol Should be determined to CCTA. And then In case of low LVEF is recommended to more low Pitch than routine Pitch because we should reduce scan failed in accordance with low LVEF.

Firemen are directly exposed to various harmful chemicals, physical factors and mental stress during rescue and fire-fighting. In fire extinguishing, unstable posture, poisonous gas, dust, high temperature and heavy equipments are possible hazardous factors. The alertness for emergency, shift work, job strain and stress are also possibly hazardous. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the prevalence of musculo-skeletal symptoms and job stress and to determine risk factors in firemen. This study was carried out in a group of 226 firemen in Busan City, Korea. Standardized Nordic Questionnaire was used to investigate the prevalence of musculo-skeletal symptoms and Psycho-social Well-being Index (abbreviated PWI) was used to investigate the prevalence of job stress. General and occupational characteristics were included education, marital status, alcohol and smoking history, working duration, and work shift system. Body mass index (BMI) scores were calculated by physical examination including height and weight. Concerning musculo-skeletal complaints, the commonest site was neck, and shoulder, lower back, upper back were the next. Complaint site above one area of body was about 80%. From multiple logistic regression analysis, working duration was significant variable in musculo-skeletal symptoms. Odds ratio were 15.4 in working duration. About 16.8% was high risk stress group. From multiple logistic regression analysis, shift work and alcohol drinking were significant variables in PWI scores. Odds ratios were 2.25 in shift work. Accordingly, interventions are needed for health promotion of long term and shift worker.

The study was to observe hemodynamic alterations of cardiac function to design a model of canine mitral valve insufficiency (MVI) based on chordae tendinae rupture (CTR). Ten healthy beagles with normal heart function were used in this study. To measure hemodynamics, the patient monitor was equipped for invasive blood pressure and a Swan-Ganz catheter. Hemodynamic alterations were checked promptly during CTR procedures. MVI model was made by transection of the chordae tendinae with small arthroscopy hook knife through $5^{th}$ intercostal open chest. Color Doppler at the level of the mitral valve showed high-velocity regurgitant flow immediately after CTR at intraoperative echocardiography. In hemodynamic measurements, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) was significantly increased, while mean arterial pressure (MAP), venous pressure (VP), pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI) were significantly decreased after CTR. It was known that the left atrium was overloaded by regurgitant volume from the left ventricle. In conclusion, the MVI model induced by CTR technique in this study should be used as suitable one for the effective research of canine mitral valve disease. Further study should be needed to measure the chronic alternation of mitral valve in the model.

Hemorrhage is an important complication after operation with cardiopulmonary bypass and sometimes necessitates a further emergency operation. Between July, 1962 and June, 1985, reoperation for hemorrhage was carried out on 81 patients [3.1%] out of a total 2634 patients who had previously undergone cardiopulmonary bypass surgery at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Yonsei University Medical Center. There were 38 males and 43 females, with an average age of 25 years [ranging 6 months to 60 years] and an average body weight of 38 kg [ranging 5 to 77 kg].There were 43 patients of cyanotic heart disease, 32 patients of acquired valvular heart disease, 4 patients of coronary artery occlusive disease, 2 patients of ascending aorta aneurysm and annuloaortic ectasia. The average amount of blood loss in the case of cyanotic heart disease was 71.7140ml/kg, in acyanotic heart disease 45.16.3ml/kg, in acquired heart disease, 56.514.4ml/kg and in coronary artery occlusive disease, 50.618.7ml/kg during first post operative day. But there was no statistical difference [p>0.05]. The mean blood loss below 10 years old was 70.412.1 ml/kg. Those below 10 years old were believed to bleed more than any other group. But there was also no statistical difference [p>0.05]. Indications for reoperation were continued excessive blood loss [74%], cardiac tamponade or hypotension [23%] and radiological evidence of a large hematoma in the thorax and pericardium [2%]. Average bypass time was 2.10.1 hours [ranging 30 minutes to 5 hours]. The interval between operation and reoperation was as follows; less than 12 hours in 49 patients [60%], 12 to 24 hours in 20 patients [25%], 24 to 48 hours in 8 patients [10%], more than 48 hours in 4 patients [5%]. The commonest sites for bleeding were chest wall [36%], heart [34%], aorta [12%], pericardium [6%], thymus [5%] and others [6%]. But no definite source was found in ll patients [31%]. Twenty seven out of 81 patients [31%] had wound problems and 5 patients [6%] were expired. [Mean SEM]. In conclusion, in order to decrease the amount of blood loss after open heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass, shortening of bypass time and bleeding control at the wire suture site during chest wall closure were important. If the amount of blood loss was over 45 ml/kg or 8 m/kg/hour, reoperation should be considered as soon as possible. After operating, careful wound dressings were applied to prevent wound problems.

The standards for the contents of glyphosate and glufosinate in foods are specific and well categorized. However, the standard of content in animal feeds is relatively inadequate and the classification is insufficient. There is also constant debate about the risk of glyphosate and glufosinate to human health, but the risk to animals has not been well studied. In this study, we established an analytical method in feeds that is estimated to be the path for animals to ingest glyphosate. The solvent extraction was carried out using 25% methanol. After centrifugation, samples were purified using solid phase extraction (SPE) and quantitatively analysed using LC-MS/MS after concentrated. Assessment of validation was conducted through detection limits, accuracy, and precision tests. The detection limits for the established method were 1.8 of ${\mu}g/kg$ of glufosinate and $2.4{\mu}g/kg$ of glyphosate. Accuracy was ranged from 94.4% to 103.4% and precision was range from 1.5% to 7.2%. Glufosinate was detected in one sample ($ND{\sim}8.8{\mu}g/kg$) and glyphosate was detected in all but one sample ($ND{\sim}337.0{\mu}g/kg$) by applying the analytical method to animal feeds (n=13).

The purpose of this study was to investigate the standardization of daily average smartphone use time among adolescents. The data were analyzed using the data from Korea youth risk behavior web-based survey of 2017, and the total number of students analyzed was 54,603. Frequency analysis, independent t test, Pearson correlation analysis, and one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis. As a result, the correlation coefficient between smartphone use time, age, and grade was very low (r =.025~.039). There was no significant difference in the usage of smartphone between middle and high school students(p>.05). Time of smartphone use was significantly higher in middle school students as the grade increased(p<.05). In high school students, second-year students had significantly more smartphone usage than first and third grade students(p<.05). The researchers described 54603 adolescents' average(minute) daily smartphone usage about sex(male, female), period of use(weekday, weekend), school(middle school, high school), and grade(first, second, third) as a 7th quartile. We suggest that the standard value of smartphone use time can be used as a basis for the physical and mental health management in adolescents. It is necessary to present a standard value that can prove the future overuse of smartphone.
