Purpose : To evaluate the clinical results and widening of bony tunnel after anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction using hamstring tendon with Ligament Anchor(LA) screw, which is newly designed fur fixation of graft into femur. Materials and Methods : Fifty eight patients who were followed up at least more than 2 years after ACL reconstruction with four strands of Hamstring tendon were included in this study. The graft was fixed with LA screw at femoral tunnel and with bioabsorbable interference screw at tibial tunnel. The average period of follow-up was 28 months. The clinical results such as physical examination and Lysholm knee score and radiological results. widening of bony tunnel and instrumented anterior laxity test with $Telos^{\circledR}$(Telos stress device; Austin & Associates, Inc., Polston, US) were evaluated. Results . The Lysholm knee score was 60.0 in average preoperatively and improved to 94.0 in average at follow up. On the Lachman test, there were mild(+) instability in 16 cases, moderate(++) in 24, severe(+++) in 18 preoperatively. 50 cases were converted to negative and 8 to mild instability at follow up. On instrumented anterior laxity test with $Telos^{\circledR}$, side to side difference in 20 lb was 12.9mm in average preoperatively, and was decreased to 3.1mm in average follow-up. The femoral tunnel was widened from 10.6mm postoperatively to 12.7mm$(21.1\%)$ at follow up on antero-posterior plane and from 10.7mm to 12.4mm$(16.5\%)$ on lateral plane. Tibial tunnels was also widened from 9.8mm to 11.8mm$(20.7\%)$ on antero-posterior plane and from 9.9mm to 11.7mm$(18.9\%)$ in lateral plane. Conclusion : ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon and LA screw was one of the choice of grafts and fixatives in restoring knee stability and in improving clinical results with little complications such as excessive widening of bony tunnel.

The objective of this study was to reevaluate current Korean design values for lane width widenings on horizontal currie sections and to develop a new method for derivation of design values based on low-speed offtracking. For this purpose, earlier research were reviewed and necessary equations were derived. Also, the method for derivation of widening values of Korea was compared with that for other countries. The result showed that present Korean method could not consider the variation of lane widths and design speeds of roads. In this Paper, to solve such problems, the new concept of widening was developed. That is the current concept of widening which concerns only the dimension of vehicles and radius of curves was replaced by a new concept that lane width widenings on horizontal curve sections is the difference between the width required on curries and tangents. The width required on a curve consists of the swept Path of a vehicle, lateral clearance, and additional allowance. The width of a tangent is calculated by multiplying lane width by the number of lanes The result of applying new concept shows that the values derived from new concept are higher than current design values for curries have same radius. This study was based only on low-speed offtracking. Therefor, it is recommended that further studies which consider the superelevation and high-speed effect on offtracking be made to derive more accurate widening values .

Catalytic Combustion used to be applied to specific conditions because of the characteristics different from flame combustion. However, many researches are focused on widening the applicant range of catalytic combustion with the competences of catalytic combustion. The development of many catalytic combustion appliances is one of the trials to overcome the restrictions of reaction and maximize the merits. In this research, past developments of appliances are depicted and new conceptual system will be introduced - sequential system. Sequential catalytic combustion system is composed of units - existing catalytic heat exchangers. This system is performed with parallel in composition and serially in operation. First, the burden of the preheating can be dramatically reduced. Second, stable operation control is expected. Lastly, Capacity expansion is flexible.

When we develop 2D pattern from replica of human body with small pieces, it is inevitable to have some replica pieces overlapped or departed. In this study, the optimized method of 2D pattern development from the 3D replica pieces was investigated using dress-form. Among six arrangement methods, anchoring two vertexes of a replica to neighboring vertexes of a next replica induces the optimized 2D pattern by evenly distributing stress across the 3D replica pieces. Anchoring neighboring vertexes resulted in automatic widening k overlapping (W & O) the interspaces among replicas of dress-form, thereby stress was distributed more evenly than any other method. W&O arrangement method was verified to be the best by examining the 3D space distribution images between body surface and twelve experimental garments.

In "EuiMoonBubRyool" chapter 4, Yuchang criticized previous doctors since "damaged by wet in autumn" written in "Somun" must be corrected as "damaged by dry in autumn". The reason why the sentence must be corrected is that dry and damp are different atmosphere. He tried to explain with changes of season and the rapid pulse in autumn is said to be a contraindiction in "Naekyung" and it supports Autumn dry theory. He criticized previous doctors about many incorrect points of dry disease throu호 various aspects. Criticism on Dongwon's treatment, Dangye's medical theory and not having a treatment, and Mujungsoon's treatment and etc. are the examples. Symtoms and treatment of Dry disease that Yuchang commented helped in deepening the contents and widening the general understanding of the disease.

Vestibular schwannoma (VS) usually present the widening of internal auditory canal (IAC), and these bony changes are typically limited to IAC, not extend to temporal bone. Temporal bone invasion by VS is extremely rare. We report 51-year-old man who revealed temporal bone destruction beyond IAC by unilateral VS. The bony destruction extended anteriorly to the carotid canal and inferiorly to the jugular foramen. On histopathologic examination, the tumor showed typical benign schwannoma and did not show any unusual vascularity or malignant feature. Facial nerve was severely compressed and distorted by tumor, which unevenly eroded temporal bone in surgical field. Vestibular schwannoma with atypical invasion of temporal bone can be successfully treated with combined translabyrinthine and lateral suboccipiral approach without facial nerve dysfunction. Early detection and careful dissection of facial nerve with intraoperative monitoring should be considered during operation due to severe adhesion and distortion of facial nerve by tumor and eroded temporal bone.

In this paper, a new analytic approach for shape preserving contrast enhancement is presented. Contrast enhancement is achieved by means of segmental histogram stretching modification which preserves the given image shape, not distorting the original shape. After global stretching, the image is partitioned into several level-sets according to threshold condition. The image information of each level-set is represented as typical value based on grouped differential values. The basic property is modified into common local schemes, thereby introducing the enhanced effect through extreme discrimination between subsets. The scheme is based on stretching the histogram of subsets in which the intensity gray levels between connected pixels are approximately same In spite of histogram widening, stretched by local image information, it neither creates nor destroys the original image, thereby preserving image shape and enhancing the contrast. By designing local histogram stretching operations, we can preserve the original shape of level-sets of the image, and also enhance the global intensity. Thus it can hold the main properties of both global and local image schemes, which leads to versatile applications in the field of digital epigraphy.

Burkitt's lymphoma is a malignant monoclonal proliferation of early B-lymphocyte. Since Burkitt's lymphoma is a highly aggressive disease, early detection is a crucial. This disease often involves jaw and mandibular mass or swelling may also be seen, but in the early phase of Burkitt's lymphoma these symptoms cannot be observed. A rare case of Burkitt's lymphoma without any mandibular mass and the general symptoms was present. The excruciating toothache led the patient to visit the dental clinic and misdiagnosis of chronic periodontal abscess was made initially. Dentists should consider the oral manifestations of systemic disease when the multiple periodontal ligament space widening is observed and the dental treatment for mimicking odontogenic pain has no effect.

There has been an enormous increasing trend of widening gap of social inequalities since economic crisis at the end of 1997 in Korea. Since then, Korean society has deteriorated in economic and social conditions; the unemployment rate, temporary or casual workers and absolute poverty have increased. This paper presents the origin of inequalities in work and health in Korea. The origin of inequalities in work begins with the relationship between the capitalist and labourers in the capitalist mode of production. The conception and execution are dissolved in the work process in the capitalist mode of production. Thus, captitalists become control over ther labour process from workers. An alienation of the work process from the workers. The distribution of work is the majour source if inequalities in many countries as well as Korea. This paper presents the increasing tendency of unhealthy states such as mortality, early death, morbidity, physical work load, workplace injury amongst the under-privileged: ordinary workers, unemployed people, casual workers and socially deprived people in Korea.

In television stereo system, to produce the sound image for spatial impression is too difficult because of the narrow distence between two speakers. A method of widening the sound image using precedence effect was introduced but it didn't work effectively in low frequency band. In this paper, we propose a new method to produce an expanded sound image in full band of audio requency in band sound is expanded by phase shifting method and a higher frequency band sound is expanded by reflection. In simulation and experiment, the proposed system guarantees useful effect of sound image expansion in television stereo system.
