근위축성 측색 경화증 (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: ALS) 환자에게 있어 호흡기능장애는 죽음에 이르게 하는 주요 원인 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 근위축성 측색 경화증이 있으며 호흡기능이 약화되어 있는 51세의 여성 환자를 대상으로 호흡운동 치료를 시행한 후 폐기능(pulmonary function)이 증진되었는지를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 연구 대상자는 6주간의 호흡운동 치료 프로그램에 참여하였다. 호흡운동 치료 프로그램은 횡경막 호흡(diaphragmatic breathing), 복부근육강화(abdominal mu scles strengthening), 지갑입술 호흡(pursed lip breathing), 그리고 동기 유발성 흡기폐활량계(incentive spirometer)를 이용한 흡기운동 등으로 구성되었다. 폐기능 검사는 이동식 호흡측정기(spirometer: MICROSPIROHI-198)를 이용해서 시행하였다. 또한 하지 에르고미터(cycle- ergometer)를 이용해 운동 시간을 측정함으로써 폐기능의 증진 여부를 알아보았다. 연구 대상자는 6주간의 호흡운동 치료 기간 동안 노력성 폐활량(forced vital capacity: FVC)과 정상 예측치에 대한 노력성 폐활량의 비율(percentage of the predicted forced vital capacity: %FVC), 그리고 하지 에르고미터의 운동 시간에 있어 현저한 증가를 보였다. 그러나 노력성 폐활량에 대한 1초간 노력성 폐활량 비(FEV1/ FVC)에 있어서는 약간의 감소를 보였다. 근위축성 측색 경화증 환자에게 6주간의 호흡운동 치료를 실시한 결과, 폐기능의 증진에 효과적임을 알 수 있었으며, 앞으로 더 많은 연구 대상자에게 그 효과를 알아보는 연구가 필요할 것이다.

활성산소 및 그의 반응산물들에 의해 노화가 진행되고, 특히 혈관의 노화인 동맥경화가 활성산소 및 지질과산화에 의해 유발된다면, 생체 내에서 끊임없이 생성되고 있고 경우에 따라 필수 불가결한 활성산소를 어떻게 잘 처리하는 가가 중요하다. 즉, 활성산소 발생정도에 대한 항산화능의 유도가 미치지 못한다면, 체내의 활성산소 및 그 생산물에 의해 노화, 동맥경화가 진행될 것이다. 활성산소의 생성계와 제거계의 balance가 잘 유지된다면 정상적인 노화로 자연사에 이르게 될 것이고, 이 balance가 깨어져 과도한 활성산소의 축적에 대해 제거계가 따르지 못할 경우에는 활성산소와 그 생산물에 의해 동맥경화와 비정상적인 노화가 진행될 것이다.

UV-curable high refractive index di-functional epoxy acrylate, 4,4'-thiodibenzenethiol diglycidyl ether diacrylate, was synthesized from acrylic acid and 4,4'-thiodibenzenethiol diglycidyl ether that was obtained by reacting 4,4'-thiodibenzenethiol and epichlorohydrin using a direct method (Taffy process). Its chemical structure was identified by $^1H$ NMR and FTIR. After its dilution with a reactive diluent, 2-phenoxythiol ethyl acrylate as 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 wt% content, the relationship between their viscosity and refractive index was investigated. Their degree of cure decreased with increasing the amount of reactive diluent, and the refractive index of UV-cured film increased with increasing the degree of cure.

Interfacial evaluation, damage sensing and cure monitoring of single carbon fiber/thermo setting composite with different curing processes were investigated using electro-micromechanical test. After curing, the residual stress was monitored by measurement of electrical resistance and then compared to various curing processes. In thermal curing case, matrix tensile strength, modulus and interfacial shear strength were higher than those of ultraviolet curing case. The shrinkage measured during thermal curing occurred significantly by matrix shrinkage and residual stress due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient. The apparent modulus measured in the thermal curing indicated that mechanical and interfacial properties were highly improved. The reaching time to the same stress of thermal curing was faster than that of UV curing case.

This study presents a methodology to predict the hardenability of quenched carbon steels. The equation of transient heat conduction is analyzed to formulate a cooling curve by a finite element method which incorperates coupled effects of temperature on physical properties, the metallic structures and also the latent heat by phase transformation. The volume traction of martensite and pearlite are the structural analysis for hardenability analysis. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of adopting a full quench model respectively. This procedure could be used as the database for optimal condition of heat treatment processes.

강은 열처리에 의해서 연성과 강도를 적절히 조절할 수 있고 그것의 조달이 용이하기 때문에 기계 구조 부품으로서 가장 널리 사용되어오고 있다. 강은 철과 탄소를 기본원소로 하는 탄소 강과 경화능과 기계적성질의 향상을 위하여 합금원소를 첨가한 합금강으로 나누어 진다. 강을 이용한 기계 구조 부품의 강도 설계는 강의 열처리 특성의 이해와 활용을 기본으로 하고 있다. 따라서 이 글에서는 강의 열처리에 따른 경도 변화의 예측과 그에 따른 강도의 예측 그리고 부품 강도 설계에 관하여 기술하고자 한다.

Purpose : Efforts to predict long-term outcome of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSCS) have been made but have yielded conflicting results. Reports are rare especially in Pediatric patients. In this study, we reviewed the predictable prognostic factors in patients of FSGS Method : Fifty children who diagnosed as biopsy-proven FSGS at department of pediatrics at Yonsei university were studied retrospectively. Based on medical records, response to treatment and pathologic slides, we compared normal renal function group and decreased renal function group, assessed the factors affecting renal survival and progression to renal failure. Results : The mean age at onset was 8 1/12 years, sex ratio was 2.3 : 1, and the mean duration of follow-up was 7 1/12 years. The overall renal survival rate was $34\%$ at 5 years, $8\%$ at 10 years Five-year survival rate was $74\%$ in normal renal function group and $27\%$ in decreased renal function group. Between the two groups, there were no significant differences in age at onset, sex ratio, amount of proteinuria, incidence of hematuria and hypertension, mesangial hypercellularity. Decreased renal function group showed higher serum creatinine level, poor response to treatment, higher percent of glomeruli with sclerosis, moderate to severe tubulointerstitial change and vascular change(P<0.05). The prognostic factors of renal survival rate were same as above and incidence of hypertension also affected renal survival( P<0.05). The progression rate to renal failure did not show statistically significant factor. Conclusion : We reviewed the factors affecting long-term outcome of FSGS. Serum creatinine level, steroid responsiveness, and the degree of glomerulosclerosis were significant prognostic factors. (J Korean Soc Pediatr Nephrol 2001 ;5 : 125-35)

This research deals with the properties of fresh and hardened high-performance concrete(HPC) incorporating high-reactivity metakaolin(HRM). The properties of fresh and hardened state concrete were investigated included air content, slump flow, setting time, heat of hydration, compressive strength, resistance to chloride-ion penetration, abrasion and repeated freezing and thawing. The properties of the HRM concrete were also compared with those of the portland cement concrete and silica fume(SF) concrete. The laboratory test results indicate that HRM material can be used as a supplementary cementitious material to produce high-performance concrete.
