  • To evaluate the performance characteristics of CA 19-9 radioimmunoassay and the clinical significance of serum CA 19-9 assay in patients with malignancy, serum CA 19-9 levels were measured by radioimmunoassay using monoclonal antibody in 135 normal controls, 81 patients with various untreated malignancy, 9 patients of postoperative colon cancer without recurrence and 20 patients with benign gastrointestinal diseases, who visited Seoul National University Hospital from June, 1984 to March, 1985. The results were as follows; 1) The CA 19-9 radioimmunoassay was simple to perform and can be completed in one work day. And the between-assay reproducibility and the assay recovery were both excellent. 2) The mean serum CA 19-9 level in 135 normal controls was $8.4{\pm}4.2U/mL$. Normal upper limit of serum CA 19-9 was defined as 21.0 U/mL. 4 out of 135(3.0%) normal controls showed elevated CA 19-9 levels above the normal upper limit. 3) One out of 20(5.0%) patients with benign gastrointestinal diseases showed elevated serum CA 19-9 level above the normal upper limit. 4) In 81 patients with various' untreated malignancy, 41 patients(50.6%) showed elevated serum CA 19-9 levels. 66.7% of 18 patients with colorectal cancer, 100% of 2 patients with pancreatic cancer, 100% of 3 patients with common bile duct cancer, 47.1% of 17 patients with stomach cancer, 28.6% of 28 patients with hepatoma and 60.0% of 5 other gastrointestinal tract cancers showed elevated serum CA 19-9 levels. 5) The sensitivities of serum CA 19-9 related to resectability in colorectal and stomach cancer were 33.3% in resectable colorectal cancer, 83.3% in unresectable colorectal cancer, 41.7% in resectable stomach cancer, 60.0% in unresectable stomach cancer respectively. 6) The sensitivity of serum CA 19-9 in 9 patients of postoperative colorectal cancer without recurrence were 33.3% and significantly decreased compared with that of untreated colorectal cancer, 66.7% (p<0.05). 7) In patients with colorectal cancer, simultaneous measurement of serum CA 19-9 and serum CEA levels increased sensitivities. From above results, we concluded that serum CA 19-9 radioimmunoassay is simple to perform and reproducible, and is a useful indicator reflecting tumor extent and responses to the treatment in patients with malignancy.

  • To determine the test gases for gas appliances of new gas group, the interrelation between gas interchangeability, including thermal efficiency, of 13A gas appliances and present 13A test gases was experimentally investigated. The test results show that the Wobbe indices in the case of incomplete combustion and the flame lifting limit gas for the new gas group are respectively 2% higher than the upper limit and 1% lower than the lower limit of the Wobbe index range. The most suitable composition of R gas is 96 mol% of methane and 4 mol% of propane; LNG could be also used as R gas. Further, analysis results showed that the hydrogen concentration of flash back limit gas could be lowered from 30 vol% to 23 vol%.

  • Rehabilitation of the paralyzed face as a result of trauma or surgery remains a daunting task. Complete restoration of emotionally driven symmetric facial motion is still unobtainable, but current techniques have enhanced our ability to improve this emotionally traumatic deficit. Problems of mass movement and synkinesis still plague even the best reconstructions. The reconstructive techniques used still represent a compromise between obtainable symmetry and motion at the expense of donor site deficits, but current techniques continue to refine and limit this morbidity. In chronically paralyzed face, direct nerve anastomosis, nerve graft, or microvascular-muscle graft is not always possible. In this case, regional muscle transposition is tried to reanimate the eyelid and lower face. Regional muscle includes maseeter muscle, temporalis muscle and anterior belly of the digastric muscle. Temporalis muscle is preferred because it is long, flat, pliable and wide-motion of excursion. In order to reanimate the upper and lower eyelid, Upper eyelid Gold weight implantion and lower eyelid shortening and tightening is mainly used recently, because this method is very simple, easy and reliable.

  • The study was to analyze on the hard and soft tissue profiles in mixed dentition. The subject consisted of 100 males and 100 females from 9 to 12 years of age and with a normal occlusion and acceptable profiles. On the basis of SnH line and SnV line, the author traced all the cephalograms and calculated the mean value and standard deviation in each measuring category and evaluated the sexual difference, the proper limit of development. The obtained results were as follows; 1. Individual variations of the lower facial part were larger the upper facial part in depth and height. 2. Sexual difference of lower facial part was significant in depth and height. 3. All the measured values to the SnH and SnV line were larger in male than in female but revealed resemblance in the profilogram. 4. The measured values of the region of nose, upper lip and point A showed stable tendency.

  • Eighty one specimens of nhodeus sericeus (Pallas, 1176) were collected at the upper stream of the Som River (37$^{\circ}$32' 38" N, 127$^{\circ}$58' 57" E: Maegok-ri, Konggun-myon, Hoengsong-gun, Kanguvon-do, Korea) which is a tributary of the Namhan River. This is the first report of the species in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. This species is well discriminated from the other species in the genus nhodeus by the following respects. The number of scales of transverse series is more than 34 (range 34-37, mean 35.7 $\pm$0.7). Head is echo감or and snout is Bonder than those of the other species. The upper part of the eve is always black and the lateral body surfaces are reddish purple. It had been hem that the southern limit of the distribution of Rhodeus sericeus was the Yonghung River in Hamgvongnam-do, north-eastern part of the Korean Peninsula. But their distributional range is extended more southerly to the Han River system which tons westward through the central part of the Korean Peninsula.Peninsula.

  • A fin of finite width with infinitely small thickness is assumed to be placed horizontally between two horizontal parallel plates of infinite extension in the exactly central position. The lower plate and the half of the upper plate are kept at a constant lower temperature, and the remaining upper plate is kept at a constant higher temperature. The fin is also kept at a constant temperature (variable). Steady-state two-dimensional laminar natural convection is analyzed as a problem of boundary value under a boundary-fitted conformal mapping system, using a spectral finite difference scheme, with a condition of doubly-connectedness. The steady-state solution is obtained as a limit of the transient solution.

  • 본 연구에서는 하천인접구간에서와 같이 지하수가 풍부한 지반에서 시공되는 터널의 막장 안정성을 평가하기 위하여 터널 막장에 작용하는 힘의 두 가지 요소를 고려하였다. 하나는 극한해석 중 upper bound solution으로부터 산출된 유효응력이며, 또 하나는 지하수의 정상류 흐름조건을 고려한 수치해석으로부터 산출된 침투력이다. 지하수가 풍부한 토사지반에서의 터널 시공시 터널 막장에 작용하는 힘을 구하기 위하여 침투력을 고려한 극한해석의 해를 구한 결과 터널 막장의 안정성을 유지하기 위한 최소 지보력은 터널 막장에 작용하는 유효응력과 침투력의 합으로 나타낼 수 있었다. 또한 터널 막장에 작용하는 평균침투압은 지하수위에 비례하여 작용하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 실내모형 실험 결과를 통하여 검증하였다. 지하수의 정상류 조건 하에서의 토사터널에 대한 실내모형 실험 결과, 터널 막장에 작용하는 침투력은 수치해석 결과 비슷한 양상을 보여주어 제안된 이론의 타당성을 입증하였다.

  • A comprehensive plan for provincial development which has been establishing and is about to be completed in 1982, has for its object that concretely develop the undertaking of the second comprehensive Program for land development under the Multiple Purpose Development of the Land Act. The limitations of the establishing tile plan which is subordinated to the Program for land development are, firstly of a difficulty of accepting upper and related plans, secondly, of limit and range of time, space and contents, and thirdly, of validity of the plan in practice. There fore, in order to solve the problems the plan firstly, has to introduce 〃the principle of composition and resolution of forces〃 into approaching to the acceptance of upper and related plans secondly, has to prefer micro approaching to macro in planning, and thirdly, has to have a flexibility of planning which will be easily changed into reasonable plan according to continuous co-ordinated process with the government authorities and inhabitants.
