  • Background: Woman kidney donors face obstetric complication risks after kidney donation, such as gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Studies on childbirth-related complications among Asian women donors are scarce. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included woman donors aged 45 years or younger at the time of kidney donation in a single tertiary hospital between 1985 and 2014. Pregnancy associated complications were investigated using medical records and telephone questionnaires for 426 pregnancies among 225 donors. Matched non-donor controls were selected by propensity score and the maternal and fetal outcomes were compared with those of donors. Primary outcomes were differences in maternal complications, and secondary outcomes were fetal outcomes in pregnancies of the donor and control groups. Results: A total of 56 cases had post-donation pregnancies. The post-donation pregnancies group was younger at the time of donation and older at the time of delivery than the pre-donation pregnancies group, and there were no differences in primary outcomes between the groups except the proportion receiving cesarean section. Comparison of the complication risk between post-donation pregnancies and non-donor matched controls showed no significant differences in gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, or composite outcomes after propensity score matching including age at delivery, era at pregnancy, systolic blood pressure, body weight, and estimated glomerular filtration ratio (odds ratio, 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.19-2.14; P = 0.724). Conclusion: This study revealed that maternal and fetal outcomes between woman kidney donors and non-donor matched controls were comparable. Studies with general population pregnancy controls are warranted to compare pregnancy outcomes for donors.

  • The persistence of drought periods and water scarcity is a growing public concern, as climate change projections indicate a more critical scenario in the future. The sustainability of water resources for the increasing population, and to ensuring crop production will unarguably be a daunting task for the water resources managers, with a projected 9.8 billion people by 2050 as well as the need to increase food production by 70 to 100%. Consequently, there is a need for significant irrigation water use for more crop production in the face of stiff competition among water users. However, the available natural resources are already over-constrained, and the allocation of more resources for food production is not feasible. Currently, about two-thirds of global water withdrawer is used by the agricultural sector while 48% of water resources in Korea is used for agricultural production. Despite the apparent ecological deficit and unfavorable conditions of resources utilization, a staggering amount of food waste occurs in the country. Moreover, wastage of food translates to waste of all the resources involved in the food production including water resources. Food waste can also be considered a serious potential for economic and environmental problems. Hence, exploring an alternative approach to efficient resources utilization in a more sustainable way can ensure considerable resources conservation. We hypothesized that reducing food waste will decline the demand for food production and consequently reduce the pressure on water resources. We investigated the food wastage across the food supply chain using the top-down datasets based on the FAO mass balance model. Furthermore, the water footprint of the estimated food wastage was assessed using the representative of selected food crops. The study revealed that the average annual food wastage across the food supply chain is 9.05 million tonnes, signifying 0.51 kg/capita/day and 48% of domestic food production. Similarly, an average of 6.29 Gm3 per annum of water resources was lost to food wastage, which translates to 40% of the total allotted water resources for agriculture in the country. These considerable resources could have been conserved or efficiently used for other purposes. This study demonstrated that zero food waste generation would significantly reduce the impact on freshwater resources and ensure its conservation. There is a need for further investigation on the food waste study using the bottom-up approach, specifically at the consumer food waste, since the top-down approach is based on estimations and many assumptions were made.

  • Purpose: Acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the most common types of poisoning and a major health problem worldwide. Treatment options are limited to normobaric oxygen therapy, administered using a non-rebreather face mask or hyperbaric oxygen. Compared to conventional oxygen therapy, high-flow nasal cannula oxygen (HFNC) creates a positive pressure effect through high-flow rates. The purpose of this human pilot study is to determine the effects of HFNC on the rate of CO clearance from the blood, in patients with mild to moderate CO poisoning. Methods: CO-poisoned patients were administered 100% oxygen from HFNC (flow of 60 L/min). The fraction of COHb (fCOHb) was measured at 30-min intervals until it decreased to under 10%, and the half-life time of fCOHb (fCOHb t1/2) was subsequently determined. Results: At the time of ED arrival, a total of 10 patients had fCOHb levels ≥10%, with 4 patients ranging between 10% and 50%. The mean rate of fCOHb elimination patterns exhibits logarithmic growth curves that initially increase quickly with time (HFNC equation, Y=0.3388*X+11.67). The mean fCOHbt1/2 in the HFNC group was determined to be 48.5±12.4 minutes. Conclusion: In patients with mild to moderate CO poisoning, oxygen delivered via high flow nasal cannula is a safe and comfortable method to treat acute CO toxicity, and is effective in reducing the COHb half-life. Our results indicate HFNC to be a promising alternative method of delivering oxygen for CO toxicity. Validating the effectiveness of this method will require larger studies with clinical outcomes.

  • 한강과 같은 하저지반을 안전하게 굴착하기 위해서는 고수압 막장면에 대응할 수 있는 이수식 쉴드 TBM 공법을 적용한다. 이수식 쉴드 TBM 공법은 지하철 프로젝트에 널리 활용되어 왔는데 도심지 지하철 공사는 지하에서 연결되기 때문에 굴착토를 대부분 전량 사토해왔으며 필터케이크(벤토나이트)도 폐기물처리를 했다. 이와 달리 도로공사는 절성토의 최적화를 위해 굴착되어 나온 토석을 외부로 반출하는 것이 아니고 대부분 성토재로 활용하는 특징이 있어 굴착토의 활용방안이 프로젝트 성공의 중요한 요소가 된다. 이수식 쉴드 TBM 공법에서 굴착토는 이수재로 사용하는 벤토나이트와 굴착된 토사, 풍화암, 연경암 등이 섞여서 배니관을 통해 이수처리플랜트로 운송되면 이수처리플랜트에서 처리과정을 거쳐 크기별로 분리 배출된다. 이러한 굴착토 중 세립질의 토사는 필터케이크와 함께 폐기되어 왔으나 그 성분에 독성이 없고 조립토와 적정 비율로 혼합하여 사용하면 성토재의 품질기준을 만족할 수 있어 그 활용방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구는 이수식 쉴드 TBM 공법의 굴착토의 활용에 있어 제도적·기술적 기준을 고찰하여 필터케이크와 골재를 도로공사의 성토재로 활용하는 방안을 도출하였다. 벤토나이트는 몬모릴로나이트로 구성된 점토이며 터널 원지반의 굴착토 또한 독성이 없는 상태로 이를 폐기물 처리하는 것은 사회적 비용이 낭비될 수 있기에 오히려 귀중한 자원으로 재활용하여 향후 이수식 쉴드 TBM 프로젝트를 수행하는 지하공간 개발사업에 도움이 되고자 기대한다.

  • 종격동기종은 치과 영역에서 매우 드물고 잠재적으로 위험한 합병증이다. 이의 흔한 원인으로는 핸드피스와 고압 공기/물 주사기를 사용하는 발치, 근관치료, 잇몸 밑 치은연하 소파술 등이 있다. 본 증례는 임플란트 식립을 위한 전 치료로 주사기를 이용하여 상악동에 골이식을 시행받은 61세 여자에게서 발생한 대량의 종격동기종과 피하기종의 증례이다. 환자는 치료 도중 갑작스럽게 발생한 구강 통증과 함께 의식 소실이 발생하였고, 응급실로 전원 되었다. 영상학적 검사상 종격동기종과 함께 얼굴과 목부위 전체에 피하기종이 발견되었다. 예방적 항생제, 산소 흡입, 금식 등의 보존적 치료가 이루어졌고, 합병증 없이 7일 만에 퇴원하였다. 환자의 실신은 시술 중 상악동 천공 후 과량의 공기유입으로 인해 발생한 종격동기종에 의해 순간적인 강한 흉부 압박으로 혈압 감소와 통증 쇽에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 치과 치료 중 환자가 의식을 잃었다면 기도 폐쇄의 위험성이 있기 때문에 종격동기종을 즉각적으로 감별하고 치료해야 한다.

  • Lattice towers and tubular steel poles have been commonly used for electrical power transmission in Korea. They are durable, structurally stable, simple and can easily be constructed in limited spaces. However, residents are opposed to construct transmission lattice towers in their areas because they are not visually attractive, and electrical field occur at the transmission lines. Underground transmissions have been used instead of the traditional towers to resolve these problems, however they are not cost effective to construct and run. Therefore, we have developed eco-friendly towers that are more attractive, well blending into the surrounding environment, and much more economical than underground transmissions. There are four categories of the eco-friendly electric transmission towers about design aspects. Firstly, there is decoration type such as tree tower and ensemble tower. Tree tower looks like actual trees with leaves and branches so it blends into surroundings. Ensemble towers were designed after pair of crane birds. Those towers have decoration features and art works. Structural examination and manufacturing this type would be very similar to the conventional transmission towers. Secondly, there is arm design type such as traditional tower. Design features are added to the existing towers. As partial design can be adoptable on these types, it can easily meet height regulations and attach to conventional lattice towers and tubular steel poles. Also, these towers are more economical than others. Third category is multipurpose type such as Sail Tower. These towers have simple pole or tubular structure with features which can be used as information message board, public relations and much more. This type will face greater wind pressure because of the area of the board, also visibility must take into consideration. Lastly, there is moulding type such as arc pylon. It is different shape to the conventional towers - lattice towers and tubular steel poles. Dramatic design changes have been adapted - from a hard and static tower to a soft and curved tower. These towers will well stand out in the field. However, structural examination and manufacturing this type would be difficult and costly. Also certain towers of this type would require scaffolding or false work to construct, which will result in limitations of the construction area. This paper shows KEPCO 154 kV Sail tower in detail. KEPCO 154 kV Sail tower that is included in fabrication of sample tower and tower testing has developed and the results are presented in this paper. We hope that sail tower is also considered as a solution to have public acceptance or to create a familiar atmosphere among towers and people in coastal area.

  • 본 연구는 영화 <5일의 마중>의 줄거리와 결말 설정에서의 구체적인 표현을 분석하며, 정치적 환경에 직면하여 감독의 문화적 화합의 비극적인 서사 전략을 분석하여 현대 중국 비극 영화의 비극 특성을 살펴보도록 한다. 이를 통하여 중국 전통 윤리 사상을 중심으로 하는 중국식 비극 특성을 소개하는데 목적이 있다. 영화 <5일의 마중>은 문화대혁명 배경으로 한 현대 비극 영화이다. 영화에서는 남자 주인공이 시대에 대한 타협과 사랑에 대한 남다른 수호를 통하여 중국식 비극 특성을 표현하였다. 이 영화는 현대 중국 비극 영화의 대표작이다. 영화의 줄거리는 숙명론, 낙천지명(樂天知命) 등 중국 전통 윤리사상을 묘사하며, 또한 남자 주인공의 사상 변화 묘사를 통하여 중국의 전통 윤리 사상 중의 고유한 비극 특성을 해석하였다. 결말 설정 측면에서는 영화가 중국의 전통적인 비극 중의 해피엔딩의 패턴을 돌파하며, 끝까지 슬퍼하는 열린 결말을 선택하여 현대 중국 비극 영화의 시대적 특징을 더욱 살렸다. <5일의 마중>은 비극 영화로 하여 독특한 완곡함과 온정이 드러났다. 이는 중국 강권 정치 문화와의 타협 때문만이 아니라 중국식 비극의 미학에 대한 감독의 이해와 관련이 된다. 동양의 감정 표현 구조와전통 유가의 윤리적 표현에서 비롯된 이러한 이성은 영화의 서사 구조에서 지대한 장력을 형성하였다. 영화 언어의 상징 기호를 사용함으로써 비극적 미적 감각에 영화 서사의 함축적 특징을 형성하였는데, 이러한 함축성 또한 현대 중국 비극 영화만 고유한 것이다. 또한 장이머우 감독은 이 영화를 통해 자신의 비극적 의식을 표현하고, 문화적 화해를 통해 비극적 서사 전략을 구사하며 정치적 탄압 속에서 예술적 돌파를 추구하는 자신의 창작 지혜를 보여주었다.

  • 쏘일 컨디셔닝(soil conditioning)은 굴착토의 전단강도를 감소시키고 작업성(workability)을 확보하여, EPB 쉴드 TBM의 굴진면 전방을 지지하며 TBM의 굴진 성능을 향상시키는 기술이다. 다양한 지반 조건에 대한 최적의 첨가제 주입 조건을 결정하기 위해서는 첨가제를 혼합한 굴착토의 역학적 유동학적 거동을 평가해야 한다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 TBM 챔버 내 압력 상태를 모사하고 시료의 유동학적 특성을 평가할 수 있는 실내 가압 베인시험 장비를 개발하였다. 인공 사질토 시료에 대하여 폼(foam)과 폴리머(polymer)의 주입변수인 FIR (foam injection ratio)과 PIR (polymer injection ratio)을 변화시켜가며 일련의 실내 가압 베인시험을 수행하였다. 또한, 슬럼프 시험을 통해 컨디셔닝된 흙의 작업성을 평가하였다. 실내 가압 베인시험 장비를 통해 베인 전단시험을 수행함으로써 측정된 토크 데이터로부터 컨디셔닝된 흙의 유동곡선(rheogram)을 도출하여 주입변수에 따른 첨두응력과 항복응력의 경향을 분석하였다. 시험 결과, FIR이 커지거나 PIR이 작아질수록 작업성이 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 최대 토크, 첨두응력과 항복응력은 모두 감소하였다. 실내 가압 베인시험으로 측정된 시료의 첨두응력과 항복응력이 슬럼프 시험을 통해 측정된 작업성과 상응하는 결과는 제안된 시험이 굴착토 물성 평가에 활용될 수 있음을 보여준다.
