Temporal bone trauma can cause hearing loss and in case of prolonged conductive hearing loss, traumatic ossicular injury should be considered. Separation of the incudostapedial joint is the most common lesion, and stapediovestibular dislocation is relatively rare but can easily cause perilymphatic fistula. Here, we report a very rare case of external stapediovestibular dislocation after trauma, ending up with successful surgical outcome. A 27-year-old man with non-progressive hearing loss on the right side since childhood visited the clinic. Audiogram showed a conductive hearing loss with air-bone gap of 55 dB on the right side. Temporal bone CT revealed the disruption of ossicular chain. An exploratory tympanotomy identified multiple ossicular disruptions including external stapediovestibular dislocation with shiny fibrous membrane sealing the oval window. Ossicular chain reconstruction was performed using the total ossicular replacement prosthesis of titanium. A postoperative audiogram showed a recovery of air-bone gap less than 10 dB. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of external long-standing stapediovestibular dislocation, with oval window completely sealed with fibrous membrane, ending up with successful hearing recovery by surgery. This case would help dealing with such condition which can be encountered in the clinic.

Non-odontogenic tumors can be classified as malignant or benign. Most oral tumors in children are benign. In the Belfast series only 7.5 percent of soft tissue tumors were malignant and Bhaskar(l963) found only 9 percent of 293 oral tumors of all kinds to be malignant. Benign tumors may be classified as epithelial and mesenchymal. The most common tumor of surface epithelium is the squamous papilloma. These are easily recognized clinically as cauliflower-like lesions. Fibrous lesions are very common in children's mouths. Many of these are not true neoplasms but are related to fibrous hyperplasia. Another common oral tumor in children is angiomatous tumors. Hemangioma occurred more frequently than lymphangioma. Cystic hygroma, a cystic subtype of lymphangioma, is a developmental tumor of lymphatic origin. It is a considered to be a relatively rare lesion. About 50 percent of cystic hygroma are present at birth, and most of the remaining 50 percent appear in the early years of life during the period of active lymphatic growth. The preferred treatment for these lesions, except for hemangioma, is complete surgical excision. With proper surgical techniques, recurrence is not expected.

The main goal of this study is to prepare a program for analyzing High Strength Steel Fibrous Reinforced Concrete (HSSFRC) slabs and predict the response and strength of the slab instead of preparing a prototype and testing it in the laboratory. For this purpose, new equations are proposed to represent the material properties of High Strength Steel Fibrous Reinforced Concrete. The proposed equations obtained from performing regression analysis on many experimental results using statistical programs. The finite element method is adopted for non-linear analysis of the slabs. The eight-node "Serendipity element" (3 DoF) is chosen to represent the concrete. The layered approach is adopted for concrete elements and the steel reinforcement is represented by a smeared layer. The compression properties of the concrete are modeled by a work hardening plasticity approach and the yield condition is determined depending on the first two stress invariants. A tensile strength criterion is adopted in order to estimate the cracks propagation. many experimental results for testing slabs are compared with the numerical results of the present study and a good agreement is achieved regarding load-deflection curves and crack pattern. The response of the load deflection curve is slightly stiff at the beginning because the creep effect is not considered in this study and for assuming perfect bond between the steel reinforcement and the concrete, however, a great agreement is achieved between the ultimate load from the present study and experimental results. For the models of the tension stiffening and cracked shear modulus, the value of Bg and Bt (Where Bg and Bt are the curvature factor for the cracked shear modulus and tension stiffening models respectively) equal to 0.005 give good results compared with experimental result.

목적: 섬유성 골 이형성증은 신호전달 G 단백의 alpha 소단위체 유전자 변이에 따른 양성 골격계 질환으로 다양한 임상적 양상을 보인다. 기능적 장애, 구조적 변형를 방지하기 위해 제한적으로 수술을 시행하게 되는데 종양소파술 후 발생한 공동을 메우는 골 이식술이 시행된다. 이 연구에서는 본원에서 시행한 섬유성 골 이형성증 치료로서 자가 해면골 이식술을 시행한 경우와 자가 해면골과 동종골, 동종골만을 사용한 경우를 비교 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1997년4월부터 2013년 10월까지 본원에서 섬유성 골이형성증으로 진단된 58 명 중 수술 후 1년이상 추시 관찰이 가능했던 34명을 대상으로 하였다. 수술 시 평균 연령은 26.7세(범위, 2-57세)이었고, 남자는 13명, 여자는 21명이었다. 자가 골이식은 모두 장골에서 채취한 망상골을 이식하였고, 동종골은 골은행에서 기증받은 뼈를 이식용으로 재처리하여 이용하였다. 자가 해면골만 이식한 경우(I군)는 5예, 자가 해면골과 동종 골, 혹은 동종골만 이식한 경우(II군)가 29예였다. 재발, 이차적 변성 같은 합병증을 확인하기 위해, 주기적인 단순 방사선 촬영으로 관찰하였으며 각 군을 비교하였다. 결과: 섬유성 골이형성의 재발이 4예(11.4%)있었으며, 자가 해면골 이식술 시행한 군(I군; 1예 20%)과 자가해면골과 동종골, 혹은 동종골만을 이식한 경우(II군; 3예, 10.3%) 간의 재발율을 Kaplan-Meier 방법으로 분석한 결과 두군간의 차이가 없었다(p=0.554). 재발한 경우는 모두 소파술 및 자가골이식술을 다시 시행하였으며 재수술 후 재발은 없었다. 낭종 같은 이차적 변성이 확인된 경우가 1예, 병적 골절을 보인 경우 1예가 있었으나, 악성변화를 일으킨 경우는 없었다. 결론: 섬유성 골 이형성증 환자들에게 골이식을 시행한 경우, 자가 해면골 또는 동종 골 이식술을 시행한 양 군에서 재발,병적 골절 같은 합병증의 결과가 의미 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 종양의 부피가 작고 병변의 위치가 체중이 가하지는 부위가 아닐 경우에는 자가 해면골 이식 또한 좋은 방법으로 사료되며 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

Cryptomonas curvata Ehrenberg is a photosynthetic freshwater flagellate and the type species of the genus Cryptomonas. We examined the flagellar apparatus of cryptomorphic C. curvata by transmission electron microscopy. The major components of the flagellar apparatus are the non-keeled rhizostyle (Rhs), striated fibrous root (SR), striated fiber-associated microtubular root (SRm), mitochondrion-associated lamella (ML), and two types of microtubular roots (3r and 2r). The non-keeled Rhs originate at the ventral basal body and consist of two types of microtubule bands extending together into the middle of the cell. The SR and SRm extend parallel to the left side of the cell. The ML originates from the ventral basal body and is a plate-like fibrous structure associated with mitochondria. The 3r extends from the dorsal basal body toward the dorsal anterior of the cell. The 2r originates between the two basal bodies and extends shortly to the left of the cell. The overall configuration of the flagellar apparatus is most similar to that previously reported for C. pyrenoidifera. These results demonstrate that the features of the flagellar apparatus are useful for distinguishing closely related species and inferring phylogenetic relationships among taxa.

In this study, effect of recycled aggregates and polypropylene fibers on the response of conventionally reinforced concrete element subjected to tensile loading in terms of tension stiffening and strain development was experimentally investigated. For this purpose, concrete prisms of 100 × 100 mm cross section and 500 mm length having one central deformed steel re-bar were cast using fibrous and non-fibrous Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with varying percentages of recycled aggregates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) and tested under uniaxial tensile load. For all fibrous RAC mixes, polypropylene fibers were used at constant dosage of 3.15 kg/㎥. Effect of recycled aggregates and fibers on the compressive strength of concrete was also explored in this study. Through studying tensile load versus global axial deformation of composite and strain development in concrete and steel, it was found that replacement of natural aggregates with recycled aggregates in concrete negatively affected the cracking load, tension stiffening and strain development, and this negative effect was observed to be increased with increasing contents of recycled aggregates in concrete. The results of this study showed that it was possible to minimize the negative effect of recycled aggregates in concrete by the addition of polypropylene fibers. Reinforced concrete element constructed using concrete containing 50% recycled aggregates and polypropylene fibers exhibited cracking behavior, tension stiffening and strain development response almost similar to that of concrete element constructed using natural aggregate concrete without fiber.

An experimental investigation is conducted to examine the behavior and cracking of steel fiberre-inforced concrete spandrel L-shaped beams subjected to combined torsion, bending, and shear. The experimental program includes 12 medium-sized L-shaped spandrel beams organized into two groups, namely, specimens with longitudinal reinforcing bars, and specimens with bars and stirrups. All cases are examined with 0%, 1%, and 1.5% steel fiber volume fractions and tested under two different loading eccentricities. Test results indicate that the torque to shear ratio has a significant effect on the crack pattern developed in the beams. The strain on concrete surface follows the crack width value, and the addition of steel fibers reduces the strain. Fibrous concrete beams exhibited improved overall torsional performance compared with the corresponding non-fibrous control beams, particularly the beams tested under high eccentricity.

국내에서 투각섬석 석면이 채굴되었던 충남 보령지역의 석연광산인 중앙(신석)광산과 대보석산 광산에 대해서 투각섬석의 산출상태, 수반광물, 광물학적 특성, 형성과정을 연구하였다. 이곳의 투각섬석은 아주 긴 섬유상과 함께 침상, 도변상, 주상의 여러 형태가 같이 공존하였다. 유해석변의 기준에 해당되는 투각섬석에 대해 편광현미경과 주사전자현미경으로 형태를 분석한 결과, 길이가 최대 210 ${\mu}m$에 해당되는 입자도 있으나 평균치로는 31.2 ${\mu}m$이고, 폭은 평균 1.6 ${\mu}m$이며 종횡비는 평균 19.9이었다. 투각섬석의 신장방향에 대한 소광각은 6.1~20.2$^{\circ}$의 범위로 모두 사소광의 성질을 나타냈다. 석면상과 비석면상 투각섬석의 XRD 패턴도 약간의 차이를 나타냈다. EPMA의 분석 결과, 이곳의 투각섬석은 Mg성분이 Fe보다 월등히 높게 나타나서 Mg단종인 투각섬석에 가까운 것으로 확인되었다. 석면상과 주상의 투각섬석은 형성조건이 다소 다르며 석면상이 후기에 형성된 것으로 검토되였다.

석면이 발암물질로 지정 되면서 물리화학적 처리를 통하여 석면광물을 비섬유형으로 변형시키거나 또는 상전이시킴으로 광물 종을 변화시켜 무해화하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 국내에서는 석면의 광물학적 특성과 함께 무해화가 가능함을 제시하는 연구만 진행되었을 뿐, 열처리에 따른 석면광물의 형태 및 결정구조 변화에 대한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내에서 산출되는 백석면(chrysotile)과 석면형 투각섬석(asbestiform tremolite)에 대하여 열처리 전 후 석면의 형태 변화와 상전이에 따른 광물학적 특성을 전자현미경법으로 연구하였다. 백석면은 $850^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 열처리된 후 감람석으로 상전이 되었으며, 석면형 투각섬석은 $1050^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 열처리된 후 투휘석으로 상전이 되었다. 이러한 광물 상전이를 전자현미경법으로 연구한 결과, 두 석면은 섬유상 및 침상의 형태를 보이는 섬유다발이 열처리에 의해 끝이 매끄러운 주상의 형태로 변형되었으며, 분쇄하여도 벽개면, 섬유다발 등과 같은 형태로 발달하지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 열처리에 따른 광물의 주 구성성분 변화 없이 결정구조의 변화가 일어남을 확인하였다. 이는 함수 규산염광물인 석면이 열에 의해 수산기(OH)가 제거되면서 광물의 상전이와 결정구조의 변화가 나타난 것으로 사료된다. 이처럼 전자현미경법은 석면의 형태, 화학성분, 그리고 결정구조의 변화를 동시에 확인 할 수 있어 광물 상전이에 따른 석면의 무해화를 연구하는데 효과적인 방법으로 판단된다.
