Background: Eosinophilia is well recognized in specific conditions. The objective of the present study was to determine clinico-radiologic characteristics of eosinophilia and changes in prevalence over 10 years in recipients of private health screening program at a tertiary hospital in Korea. Methods: Data of private health screening program recipients at the health promotion center of Chung-Ang University Hospital from 2004 to 2013 were collected. Health-related questionnaires and laboratory findings of private health screening program with possible relation with eosinophilia were reviewed. Results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for parasite, chest computed tomography, and pulmonary function test were also reviewed. Results: The cumulative prevalence of eosinophilia was 4.0% (1,963 of 48,928). Prevalence of eosinophilia showed a decreased trend from 2004 to 2013. Most cases (96.6%) had mild degree of eosinophilia. Eosinophilic subjects were older and male-predominant. They showed lower levels of forced expiratory volume in 1 second ($FEV_1%$), forced vital capacity (FVC%), and $FEV_1/FVC$ than those without eosinophilia. Eosinophilic subjects showed higher positive rate for common parasite in ELISA than those without eosinophilia. On radiologic findings, consolidation and ground glass opacities were positively associated with the degree of eosinophilia. When eosinophil was classified based on severity, statistically significant correlation between the severity of eosinophil and radiologic abnormalities was found. Conclusion: Eosinophilia is uncommon in healthy population. It usually occurs at a mild degree. Eosinophilic patients have more radiologic abnormalities compared to those without eosinophilia. Such radiologic abnormalities are associated with the severity of eosinophilia.

The forging process produces complicated and designed components in a die at high productivity for mass production and minimizes the machining amount for favorable material utilization; the forging products used at highly stressed sections are well accepted at a wide range of industry such as automobile, aerospace, electric appliance and et cetera. Accordingly, recent R&D activities have been emphasized on improvement of forging die-life and near net shaping technology for cost effectiveness and better performance. Usually closing and consolidation of internal void defects in a ingot is a vital matter when utilized as large forged products. It is important to develop cogging process for improvement of internal soundness without a void defect and cost reduction by solid forging alone with limited press capacity. For experiments of cogging process, hydraulic press with a capacity of 800 ton was used together with a small manipulator which was made for rotation and overlapping of a billet. Size of a void was categorized into two types; ${\phi}$ 6.0 mm and ${\phi}$ 9.0 mm to investigate the change of closing and consolidation of void defects existed in the large ingot during the cogging process. In addition for forming experiment of piston grown air drop hammer with a capacity of 16 ton was used. The experiment with piston crown was carried out to show the formability and void closing status. In this paper systematic configuration for closing process of void defects were expressed based on this experiment results in the cogging process. Also forging defects through forming process for piston crown was improved using the experiment results and FE analysis. Consequently this paper deals with the effect of radial parameters in cogging process on a void closure far large forged products and formability of piston crown.

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effect of Cervi Cornu and coenzymeQ10 on exercise and endurance capacity in rats and mice. Methods: The extract of Cervi Cornu was manufactured by the pharmacy department of Kyung Hee Oriental Medical Hospital, and CoQ10 soft cap (Ildong Pharmaceutical) was used. In total, 24 rats and 30 mice were divided into 3 groups: Control (rat=8, mouse=10), CoQ10 alone (rat=8, mouse=10), Cervi Cornu extract, and CoQ10 (rat=8, mouse=10). Ergogenic effect was evaluated by administering the Cervi Cornu extract and coenzymeQ10 to rats and measuring the time to exhaustion during treadmill running; endurance capacity was assessed by measuring cold water swimming time, serum lactate level, and serum corticosterone level in each group. At 1 week from the end of treatment, we recalculated time to exhaustion during treadmill running in rats to investigate the long-term effect of the Cervi Cornu extract and coenzymeQ10. Results: Cervi Cornu extract has long-term benefits in that it preserves the ergogenic effect caused by exercise. Cervi Cornu and coenzymeQ10 have no effect on increasing cold water swimming time in ICR mice. CoenzymeQ10 decreases the serum corticosterone level in ICR mice performing cold water swimming test. Conclusions: Cervi Cornu seems to preserve the ergogenic effect caused by exercise, but a larger study is needed to investigate effect of Cervi Cornu and coenzymeQ10 on improving endurance capacity. CoenzymeQ10 decreases serum corticosterone level and it is related with the anti-psychological fatigue effect.

dynamic strain gage와 12bit AD(analog to digital converter)를 이용한 새로운 제진특성 측정 장치를 제작하였다. 이 장치를 이용하여 일반재료와 고제진재료의 제진특성을 연구하였다. 또한 열처리 조건, 초기 진동 진폭, 그리고 내부응력의 변화에 따른 SDC(specific damping capacity)변화에 관하여 연구하였다. 일반재료와 제진재료의 비교에서, 제진재료는 진동을 가한 후 0.4초 이내에 진동 진폭이 거의 사라졌지만, 같은 시간에 일반재료의 진동 진폭은 거의 감소하지 않았다. Fe-16wt. %Cr계 합금의 제진 특성은 노냉일 때 SDC max 가 40%이상이었고, Fe-5.5wt.%Ai합금의 제진 특성은 공냉일 때 SDC max값이 30%이상이었다. 초기 진동 진폭이 증가할수록 최대 제진 특성치는 낮은 진동 진폭 영역으로 이동하였다. 제진 특성은 내부 응력이 증가할수록 급격한 감소를 보였으며, 본 연구에서 개발한 제진측정 장치는 낮은 진동 진폭의 영역에서 정확한 제진 특성 측정이 가능하였다.

Previous theoretical equations for the shear capacity of steel beam to concrete filled steel tube (CFT) column connections vary in the assumptions for the shear deformation mechanisms and adopt different equations for calculating shear strength of each component (steel tube webs, steel tube flanges, diaphragms, and concrete etc.); thus result in different equations for calculating shear strength of the joint. Besides, shear force-deformation relations of the joint, needed for estimating building drift, are not well developed at the present. This paper compares previously proposed equations for joint shear capacity, discusses the shear deformation mechanism of the joint, and suggests recommendations for obtaining more accurate predictions. Finite element analyses of internal diaphragm connections to CFT columns were carried out in ABAQUS. ABAQUS results and theoretical estimations of the shear capacities were then used to calibrate rotational springs in joint elements in OpenSEES simulating the shear deformation behavior of the joint. The ABAQUS and OpenSEES results were validated with experimental results available. Results show that: (1) shear deformation of the steel tube dominates the deformation of the joint; while the thickness of the diaphragms has a negligible effect; (2) in OpenSEES simulation, the joint behavior is highly dependent on the yielding strength given to the rotational spring; and (3) axial force ratio has a significant effect on the joint deformation of the specimen analyzed. Finally, modified joint shear force-deformation relations are proposed based on previous theory.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise training on work capacity, psychologic functions and quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Forteen hemodialysis patients, 3 males, 11 females, age ranged from $23{\sim}58$ years($42.3{\pm}0.4$) were selected and assessed using a modified Bruce protocol on a treadmill. The 3 months supervised exercise training consisted of 60 minites session thrice weekly on the treadmill, bicycle and arm ergometer at $40{\sim}60%$ of maximum $O_2$ consumption. The changes of maximum $O_2$ consumption, psychologic test and quality of life questionnaire in 14 patients before and after 3 months exercise training have been measured. The mean maximum $O_2$ consumption($VO_2$ max) of exercises increased by 23% after training(pre-and postexercise $26.3{\pm}4.6ml$/kg/min vs $29.8{\pm}4.9ml$/kg/min, p=0.013). There was significant reduction in anxiety score(p=0.004) and significant improvement in quality of life score(p=0.031) after training. The result of this study indicated that a structured exercise training for hemodialysis patients provides many benefits. These result suggest the exercise training can improve the work capacity, psychologic functions and quality of life outcomes in hemodialysis patients.

Background: Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) have different pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and outcomes than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The intention of this study was to identify unknown differences between CPFE and IPF by a retrospective comparison of clinical data including baseline and annual changes in pulmonary function, comorbidities, laboratory findings, clinical characteristics and cause of hospitalization. Methods: This study retrospectively enrolled patients with CPFE and IPF who had undergone PFTs once or several times per year during a follow-up period of three years. Baseline clinical characteristics and the annual changes in the pulmonary function during the follow-up period were compared between 26 with CPFE and 42 patients with IPF. Results: The baseline ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity ($FEV_1$/FVC%) in patients with CPFE was lower than that in patients with IPF ($78.6{\pm}1.7$ vs. $82.9{\pm}1.1$, p=0.041). The annual decrease in $FEV_1$/FVC in the CPFE was significantly higher than in the IPF. The annual decreases in diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide and FVC showed no significant differences between the two groups. The symptom durations of cough and sputum were in the CPFE significantly lower than in the IPF. The serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate level at the acute stage was significantly higher than in the IPF. There were no significant differences in the hospitalization rate and pneumonia was the most common cause of hospitalization in both study groups. Conclusion: The annual decrease of $FEV_1$/FVC was in patients with CPFE significantly higher than in the patients with IPF.
