Background: This study evaluated the efficacy of the endoscopic medial orbital wall repair by comparing it with the conventional transcaruncular method. This surgical approach differs from the established endoscopic technique in that we push the mesh inside the orbit rather than placing it over the defect. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 40 patients with isolated medial orbital blowout fractures who underwent medial orbital wall reconstruction. Twenty-six patients underwent endoscopic repair, and 14 patients underwent external repair. All patients had preoperative computed tomography scans taken to determine the defect size. Pre- and postoperative exophthalmometry, operation time, the existence of diplopia, and pain were evaluated and compared between the two methods. We present a case showing our procedure. Results: The operation time was significantly shorter in the endoscopic group (44.7 minutes vs. 73.9 minutes, p= 0.035). The preoperative defect size, enophthalmos correction rate, and pain did not significantly differ between the two groups. All patients with preoperative diplopia, eyeball movement limitation, or enophthalmos had their symptoms resolved, except for one patient who had preexisting strabismus. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that endoscopic medial orbital wall repair is not inferior to the transcaruncular method. The endoscopic approach seems to reduce the operation time, probably because the dissection process is shorter, and no wound repair is needed. Compared to the previous endoscopic method, our method is not complicated, and is more physiological. Larger scale studies should be performed for validation.

We investigate effect of a point defect on the pinning potential for a perpendicular magnetic domain wall based on the NEB method. We find that this method can give a reasonable value for the pinning potential and allows us to study the effect of various geometrical and magnetic properties on the pinning potential. In the presentation, we will discuss the effect of Ku and wire width on the pinning potential in detail.

The present work complies the elastic stress concentration factor for a pipe with local wall thinning, based on detailed three-dimensional elastic FE analysis. To cover practically interesting cases, a wide range of pipe and defect geometries are considered, and both internal pressure and global bending are considered. Resulting values of stress concentration factors are tabulated for practical use, and the effect of relevant parameters such as pipe and defect geometries on stress concentration factors are discussed. The present results would provide valuable information to estimate fatigue damage of the pipe with local wall thinning under high cycle fatigue.

The wall thinning phenomenon of pipes was simulated as metal loss due to erosion and corrosion. Such wall thinning defects in the pipes of power plants are a very important safety consideration. In this study, we analyzed wall thinning defects that occurred by weld bead of weld zone of boost pump recirculation pipe. From the results of the analysis of pipe failures, numerical analysis was performed by Fluent v6.3.26 using the standard k-$\varepsilon$ model of the weld bead shape, such as an elliptical or a spherical shape, on the inner wall of the pipe. Using the results obtained, we showed the overlap effect by cavitations corrosion and erosion-corrosion at the bottom of the wall-thinning defect.

The pipe bends and elbows in nuclear power plants (NPPs) are vulnerable to degradation mechanisms and can cause wall-thinning defects. As it is difficult to detect both the defects generated inside the wall-thinned pipes and the preliminary signs, the wall-thinning defects should be accurately estimated to maintain the integrity of NPPs. This paper proposes a deep fuzzy neural network (DFNN) method and estimates the collapse moment of wall-thinned pipe bends and elbows. The proposed model has a simplified structure in which the fuzzy neural network module is repeatedly connected, and it is optimized using the least squares method and genetic algorithm. Numerical data obtained through simulations on the pipe bends and elbows with extrados, intrados, and crown defects were applied to the DFNN model to estimate the collapse moment. The acquired databases were divided into training, optimization, and test datasets and used to train and verify the estimation model. Consequently, the relative root mean square (RMS) errors of the estimated collapse moment at all the defect locations were within 0.25% for the test data. Such a low RMS error indicates that the DFNN model is accurate in estimating the collapse moment for wall-thinned pipe bends and elbows.

본 논문에서는 적외선 열화상 기법을 원전 배관에 적용하여 감육결함을 검사하기 위한 시험 조건을 파악하기 위해서, 인공 결함이 가공된 배관 시편과 평판 시편을 이용하여 적외선 열화상 시험을 수행하였다. 시험에는 할로겐램프를 사용하여 시편을 가열하였으며, 램프의 출력과 시편과 램프의 거리를 변수로 실험을 수행하였다. 시험 결과 시편과 램프의 거리가 1~2 m 이고 램프의 출력이 정격출력의 60 % 이상일 때, 적외선 열화상 기법은 1회 촬영으로 최소한 500 mm 범위 내에 존재하는 원주방향 폭이 $2{\Theta}=90^{\circ}$이고 깊이와 길이가 각각 d/t=0.5와 $L/D_o=0.25$인 배관내 인공 감육 결함들을 검출하였다. 평판 시편과 배관 시편에서 시편과 램프의 거리에 관계없이 램프 출력이 높을수록 결함에 대한 이미지가 선명하였다. 평판 시편과 배관 시편에서 적외선 열화상 방법의 결함 검출 능력은 유사하지만, 최적의 시험 조건은 시편에 따라 다르게 나타났다.

Aorticopulmonary window is a rare anomaly among congenital heart disease. Various terms have been suggested including A-P window, A-P fenestration, fistula, aorticseptal defect etc. The defect lies usually between the left side of the ascending aorta and right wall of the pulmonary artery just anterior to the origin of the right main pulmonary artery. We have experienced one case of aorticopulmonary septal defect which was diagnosed as V5D with pulmonary hypertension in 1 4/12 year old, 7.2 Kg, male patient. Operation was done under the hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass using 5t. Thomas cardioplegic solution. Vertical right ventriculotomy over the anterior wall of RVOT revealed no defect in the ventricular septum, and incision was extended up to the main pulmonary artery to find the source of massive regurgitation of blood through MPA. Finger tip compression of the aorticopulmanary window was replaced with Foley bag catheter balloon, and the $7{\times}10$ mm aorticoseptal defect located 15mm above the pulmonic valve was sutured continuously wih 3-0 nylon suture during azygos flow of cardiopulmonary cannula which was located distal to the window resulted massive air pumping systemically, and temporary reversal of pumping was tried to minimize cerebral air embolism. Remained procedure was done as usual, and pump off was smooth and uneventful. Postoperatively, patient was attacked frequent opistotonic seizure with no recovery sign mentally and p.hysically. Vital signs were gradually worsen with peripheral cyanosis and oliguria, and cardiac activity was arrested 1485 minutes after operation. Autopsy was performed to find the sutured window and massive edema of the brain.

A case report of a patient who developed radiation-induced sarcoma in the left chest wall is presented. The patient had partial mastectomy and adjuvant radiation therapy (total dose, 5,220 cGy) and chemotherapy. Five years later, she visited with rapidly growing mass with central ulceration in the irradiated chest wall. The mass was diagnosed as malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The chest wall mass resected en bloc ($23{\times}18cm$) including five consecutive ribs. After the defected thoracic cage was reinforced using a polytetrafluoroethylene patch, omental flap and split thickness skin graft was done for soft tissue coverage. We applied negative pressure wound closer system for effective suction of omeantal exudate. The wound healed without complications. The patient suffered no perioperative pulmonary complications. Pulmonary function tests showed no significant changes. Each of Gore-Tex, omental flap, negative pressure wound therapy and skin graft is widely used method. However, If these methods are used in combination, we can reconstruct the large defect of chest wall including multiple ribs without any repiratory function problems.

Failure criterion is a parameter to represent the resistance to failure of locally wall thinned pipe, and it depends on material characteristics, defect geometry, applied loading type, and failure mode. Therefore, accurate prediction of integrity of wall thinned pipe requires a failure criterion adequately reflected the characteristics of defect shape and loading in the piping system. In the present study, the finite element analysis was performed and the results were compared with those of pipe experiment to develop a sound criterion for failure of internally wall thinned pipe subjected to combined pressure and bending loads. By comparing the predictions of failure to actual failure load and displacement, an appropriate criterion was investigated. From this investigation, it is concluded that true ultimate stress criterion is the most accurate to predict failure of wall thinned pipe under combined loads, but it is not conservative under some conditions. Engineering ultimate stress estimates the failure load and displacement reasonably for al conditions, although the predictions are less accurate compared with the results predicted by true ultimate stress criterion.
