In this research, we proposed the immobilization zone where the organic contaminant would be fixed, so that ground water could be prevented from the organic contaminants. The surfactant was adsorbed on the soil particles and the organic contaminants were partitioned into the hydrophobic tails of the surfactant in the immobilization zone. Surfactants with different molecular structures-SDDBS (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid), MADS (monoalkylated disulfonated diphenyl oxide), DADS (dialkylated disulfonated diphenyl oxide) - were used in this study. Up to the present, the research on the immolization simulated the saturated condition. But many site contaminated with organic contaminants and the zones where immobilization would be applied are unsaturated. In this research, in order to investigate the behaviors of surfactants and organic contaminants in unsaturated condition, the unsaturated columns were experimented, and their results were compared with the saturated case.

Purpose: Zone I fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone can generally be treated by conservative methods while both surgical and conservative methods are used for zone II fractures. However, the clinical results of conservative treatment have been rarely reported. The purpose of this study is to report the clinical results of conservative treatment for zone I and II nondisplaced fractures. Materials and Methods: Between July 2007 and August 2008, consecutive thirty seven patients (38 fractures) with zone I and II fractures of the fifth metatarsal bone were treated with tolerable weight bearing and minimum duration of immobilization based on pain on weight bearing. We evaluated the duration of immobilization, time to clinical and radiographic union, and time to pre-injury activity level. Results: Clinical and radiological union were achieved in all patients without any complications including malunion or nonunion. The mean duration of immobilization was 28.7 days. The mean 33.1 days and 48.9 days were required for clinical union and radiographic union respectively, after the initial injury. The mean time to pre-injury activity level was 4.8 months. Conclusion: Our study shows that the acute nondisplaced zone I, II fracture of fifth metatarsal bone can be treated effectively using tolerable weight bearing and minimum duration of immobilization, which is based on the pain on weight bearing.

계면활성제를 이용하여 불포화 지역에 고정화 지역을 설정함으로써, 지하수로 유입되는 유기오염물질의 거동을 지연시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 수분함량을 보유한 불포화 및 포화 조건에서 연속식 컬럼 실험을 수행함으로써, 수분함량에 따른 계면활성제와 유기오염물질의 거동에 대하여 연구하였다. 산화알루미늄(aluminum oxide)이 충진된 컬럼 실험에서 계면활성제(dialkylated disulfonated diphenyl oxide)의 거동 및 수착 특성은 수분함량이 달라져도 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. 그러나 계면활성제(DADS)로 개질된 산화알루미늄이 충진된 컬럼 실험에서는 유기오염물질인 나프탈렌(naphthalene)이 수분함량이 감소됨에 따라 거동이 지연되는 현상을 나타내었으며, 또한 더 많은 양의 나프탈렌이 알루미늄 산화물에 흡착된 계면활성제로 흡수되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통하여 유기오염물질의 고정화 방법이 불포화 지역에도 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of conservative treatment of zone I, II $5^{th}$ metatarsal base fracture. Materials and Methods: Between May 2004 and June 2010, a total of 58 patients of zone I, II $5^{th}$ metatarsal base fractures were included in this study. The mean length of follow-up was 13.5 months (12~36 months). All of the patients were treated with full-weight-bearing short leg cast immobilization for 4 weeks and wooden sole shoes for 4 weeks. The results were evaluated about the radiographic union, the midfoot scale of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), the tenderness on fracture site and other complications. Results: All patients were able to return to their prior levels of activity. The mean time for union as shown on radiographs was 45.5 days, and the mean midfoot scale of AOFAS was 99.7 points. There were no nonunions or refractures during the follow-up. Conclusion: The conservative treatment with full-weight-bearing short leg cast and wooden sole shoes seems to give good results for zone I, II $5^{th}$ metatarsal base fracture.

The term 'heat shock protein (Hsps)' was derived from the fact that these proteins were initially discovered to be induced by hyperthermic conditions. In response to a range of stressful stimuli, including hyperthermia, immobilization, UV radiation, amino acid analogues, arsenite, various chemicals, and drugs the mammalian brain demonstrates a rapid and intense induction of the heat shock protein. Moreover, Hsps were expressed on the various pathological conditions including trauma, focal or global ischemia, hypoxia, infarction, infections, starvation, and anoxia. Especially, Hsp25 has a protective activity, facilitated by the ability of the protein to decrease the intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as its chaperone activity, which favors the degradation of oxidized proteins. Recently, it has clearly demonstrated that Hsp25 is constitutively expressed in the adult mouse cerebellum by parasagittal bands of purkinje cells in three distinct regions, the central zone (lobule VI-VII) and nodular zone (lobule IX-X), and paraflocculus. The Mongolian gerbil has been introduced into stroke study model because of its unique brain vasculature. There are no significant connections between the basilarvertebral system and the carotid system. This anatomy feature renders the mongolian gerbil susceptible to forebrain ischemia-induced seizure. The present study is designed to examine the pattern of Hsp25 expression in the cerebellum of this animal in comparison with that in mouse.

This paper presents the characteristics of gentamicin-loaded into cetyl trimethyl ammonium intercalated montmorillonite (GtM/CTMA/Mt) as a hybrid composite for a slow-released antibacterial delivery systems. The work describes the successful immobilization of gentamicin into the interlayers of surfactant-modified montmorillonite. Physicochemical characterization of the material is carried out by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The kinetics of the gentamicin release is investigated by in vitro study and analyzed based on UV-Vis spectrometry. In addition, antibacterial study is performed towards Klebsiella pneumoniae Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Streptococcus pyogenes. The results show that the gentamicin loading into CTMA/Mt increases the effectiveness of the antibacterial activity, as shown by the higher inhibition zone for all tested bacteria, compared to gentamicin as a positive control. The kinetics study suggests that the gentamicin release obeys the modified Korsmeyer-Peppas model. The physicochemical study and activity test demonstrate the feasibility of the GtM/CTMA/Mt for practical applications.

The integrity of the high cervical spine, the transition zone from the brainstem to the spinal cord, is crucial for survival and daily life. The region protects the enclosed neurovascular structure and allows a substantial portion of the head motion. Injuries of the high cervical spine are frequent, and the fractures of the C2 vertebra account for approximately 17-25% of acute cervical fractures. We review the two major types of C2 vertebral fractures, odontoid fracture and Hangman's fracture. For both types of fractures, favorable outcomes could be obtained if the delicately selected conservative treatment is performed. In odontoid fractures, as the most common fracture on the C2 vertebrae, anterior screw fixation is considered first for type II fractures, and C1-2 fusion is suggested when nonunion is a concern or occurs. Hangman's fractures are the second most common fracture. Many stable extension type I and II fractures can be treated with external immobilization, whereas the predominant flexion type IIA and III fractures require surgical stabilization. No result proves that either anterior or posterior surgery is superior, and the surgeon should decide on the surgical method after careful consideration according to each clinical situation. This review will briefly describe the basic principles and current treatment concepts of C2 fractures.

목 적: 정위적체부방사선치료(Stereotactic body radiotherapy) 시 환자셋업의 재현성 및 장시간 안정된 자세의 유지를 위한 고정용구는 정확한 치료를 위해 무엇보다 중요하다. 이에 본 연구는 상품화된 고정용구 두 가지와 자체 제작한 고정용구를 비교 평가하여 정위적체부방사선치료 시 최적의 고정용구를 적용하는데 그 목적이 있다. 대상 및 방법: 일반인 5명을 대상으로 각기 다른 세 가지 고정용구(A: Wing-board, B: BodyFix system, C: Arm up holder with vac-lock)를 각각 적용하였으며 대상자의 가장 안정적인 호흡주기를 선택하여, 고글 모니터를 착용 후 일정한 호흡을 30분간 유지토록 하여 호흡신호를 획득하였다. 호흡신호의 분석은 본원에서 자체 개발한 프로그램을 통해 호흡신호의 최고값(peak value)과 최저값(valley value)의 표준편차(standard deviation) 및 분산값(variation value)을 시간대별로 분리하여 획득하고 이를 이용해서 상대적 비교지수를 구하여 각 고정 용구를 비교평가 하였다. 결 과: 각 고정용구의 호흡시간대별 편차의 변화를 고려한 안정도를 평가하였으며, 고정 용구 별 비교지수는 각 실험자별로 다음과 같다. A: 11.20, B: 4.87, C: 1.63 / A: 3.94, B: 0.67, C: 0.13 / A: 2.41, B: 0.29, C: 0.04 / A: 0.16, B: 0.19, C: 0.007 / A: 35.70, B: 2.37, C: 1.86으로 나타났으며, 실험자 5명 모두 고정용구 C를 사용하였을 때 가장 안정된 값을 나타냈다. 반면 A를 사용했을 때 4명, B에서 1명이 상대적으로 가장 불안정한 호흡결과를 나타냈다. 결 론: 자체개발한 정위적체부방사선치료 고정용구(arm up holder with vac-lock)는 다른 두 고정용구에 비해 호흡을 안정적으로 유지시킴으로서 조사분할내 종양움직임(intra-fraction organ motion)을 감소시켜 치료효과를 높일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 특히 셋업을 장시간 유지시켜야 하는 정위적체부방사선치료의 특성상 시간의 경과에 따라 불안한 호흡주기를 나타낸 다른 두 고정용구에 비해 자체개발한 고정용구가 정위적체부방사선치료에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
