The fibrous dysplasia is a progressive and disabling condition that lead to deformity, especially weight bearing bones. The morbidity that is associated with the polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is the recurrent fracture and deformity. Various methods of treatment had been failed to control this problem. We used osteotomy and reconstruction nailing for polyostotic fibrous dysplasia occured in the proximal part of right femur with varus deformity and reconstruction nailing in left femur without osteotomy, and interlocking intramedullary nailing in right tibia to prevent pathologic fracture. These methods brought a good result of bone union and full weight bearing ambulation after 1 year and 6 month follow up. We think these methods are useful methods to control refracture and deformity, so we reported this case with bibliographic reviews.

Objectives The present study was designed to systematically characterize the denaturation and the renaturation of double stranded DNA (dsDNA), which is suitable for DNA hybridization. Methods A series of physical and chemical denaturation methods were implemented on well-defined 86-bp dsDNA fragment. The degree of each denaturation was measured and the most suitable denaturation method was determined. DNA renaturation tendency was also investigated for the suggested denaturation method. Results Heating, beads mill, and sonication bath did not show any denaturation for 30 minutes. However probe sonication fully denatured DNA in 5 minutes. 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide (alkaline treatment) and 60% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) treatment fully denatured DNA in 2-5 minutes. Conclusions Among all the physical methods applied, the direct probe sonication was the most effective way to denature the DNA fragments. Among chemical methods, 60% DMSO was the most adequate denaturation method since it does not cause full renaturation during DNA hybridization.

The performance and life of a die are influenced by the machining methods. In order to examine the effects of machining methods on surface charactenstics, simple experiments are devised and performed. A die steel STD11, commonly used as a die material in press working, is selected. Three ways of machining methods to manufacture a die are considered. Those are (1) milling and then grinding, (2) wire-cut electric discharge dachining (W-EDM) and (3) heat treatment after W-EDM. The resulting surface roughnesses are measured. Also, the changes of surface microstructures are investigated using the scanning electron microscope(SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDS) and the results are discussed in details.

Burn is a malady that has tormented mankind for a while, and Traditional Korean Medicine techniques of treating it has constantly improved. Detailed description of treatment methods of burns are mentioned in Traditional Korean Medicine texts. To treat burns both medicines for internal and external use are needed, and appropriate first aid is necessary in the first stages. A total of eleven medical cases about burns could be found in the process of researching texts, and studying these 의안s indicated that burns were admirably cured with Korean Traditional Medicine methods of treating burns. Differences in the treatment methods between different schools could also be observed. Further research and development of Traditional Korean Medicine methods of burns is needed.

Objectives: This study is to understand and develop Acupuncture treatment in Korean Medicine(韓醫學). Methods : Firstly, the definitions of Acupuncture Prescription(鍼 處方) and Methods of Acupuncture Therapies(鍼法) were clarified. Secondly, the results from the researches of previously existing Acupuncture Prescriptions(鍼 處方) were analyzed. Results ＆ Conclusions : Acupuncture Prescription(鍼 處方) represents the results achieved from combining Acupuncture Points(腧穴) according to the symptoms of diseases. Methods of Acupuncture Therapies(鍼法) denote methodologies for proposing Acupuncture Prescriptions(鍼 處方) which were accomplished by combining Acupuncture Points(腧穴) based on a specific theory. The existing methods of combining Acupuncture Points(腧穴) derived from the analysis of Acupuncture Prescription (鍼 處方) have a meaning in suggesting a direction for acupuncture treatments. However, deficiencies still exist to restore the absence of universality and objectivity in acupuncture treatment. Researches on Methods of Acupuncture Therapies(鍼法) based on the principle are required accordingly. The concept of hierarchy exists in Acupuncture Prescription(鍼 處方) and it ranks Acupuncture Points(腧穴) as primary and secondary according to the indications of the Acupuncture Points(腧穴). Since there is the time difference in needling process, the concept of hierarchy is fulfilled through the needling procedure.

Effect of post treatment on the fatigue strength of a box weldment was investigated in order to improve fatigue life of the weldment. The post treatment applied were the smooth grinding of weld bead, weld toe grinding and hammer peening at the weld toe. The fatigue strength of the weldment after post treatment clearly increased, compared with that of the weldment in as-welded condition. After smooth grinding of weld bead, fatigue crack initiated at the root of the weldment, while fatigue crack initiated at the weld toe for the other methods.

Recently, surface-treatment agent was developed to restore performance of the deteriorated concrete and inhibiting corrosion of the reinforcing-bar. The performance of surface-treatment agent was verified and this agent has been broadly in America and European countries. However, this type agent has not been used broadly in Korea because performance of the agent isn't verify by a proper test method yet. In this study, we suggested our own test procedures and methods through extensive laboratory tests to verify the performance of concrete after applying the surface-treatment agent.

Atypical femoral fractures differ from ordinary femoral diaphyseal or subtrochanteric fractures in several aspects. Although several authors have reported the results of surgical treatment for atypical femoral fractures, the rate of complications (e.g., delayed union, nonunion, fixation failure, and reoperation) is still high. Therefore, we reviewed principles of surgical treatment and describe useful methods for overcoming femoral bowing in these high-risk patients.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Korean medicine treatment on four cases involving hemorrhoid patients. Methods: Four patients suffering from hemorrhoids were treated with Korean medicine treatment, such as herbal medicine, and acupuncture. Patients were diagnosed using pictures of the anus, which were used to compare before and after treatment and to evaluate treatment efficacy. Results: After treatment, the symptoms of pain and other complaints conspicuously improved. Conclusions: As indicated by before and after treatment pictures of the anus and decreased symptoms, Korean medicine treatment is effective in treating hemorrhoids.

Achilles tendon rupture is a common sports injury encountered in younger populations. Various treatment methods are used for acute and chronic rupture. Several treatments for each condition are available, each having their advantages and disadvantages. In an acute rupture, surgical treatment may be a priority for younger patients or those wishing a quick return to play, but the long-term functional outcome is similar to non-surgical treatment. In addition, the re-rupture rate shows a slight difference between the two treatments. The clinical outcomes are similar regardless of the surgical treatment, but an accelerated rehabilitation program should be accompanied by good results. In chronic and neglected rupture, surgical treatment is preferred over non-surgical treatment. Treatments are chosen based on the size of the tendon defect. This article reviews the current updates in the treatment of Achilles tendon rupture that will help clinicians choose the appropriate treatment.
