A new technique for the preparation of porous polyurethane vascular prostheses was investigated. Synthetic vascular grafts with porous wall have been widely proposed, claiming that strength, suture retention, kink resistance, and other handling properties are improved over those with nonporous solid wall. Related to these facts, the control of pores and compliance match have been very important and interesting issues. Two kinds of polymer sheets were compared. One was the porous PU-sheet made at room temerature by the solvent/non-solvent exchange. And the other was the porous PU-sheet fabricated by thermal phase transition and solvent/non-solvent exchange in the thermal controlled bath. According to the result of the above experiments, polyurethane solution was injected into a mold designed for U-type graft. After freezing at low temperature, solvent was dissolved out with alcohol at < $0^{\circ}C$ and water at room temperature to form porous vessels. The average pore size and pore occupation were easily changed by changing polyurethane concentration and freezing rate. This technique can give a proper pore size for tissue ingrowth, and suitable compliances for matching with arteries and veins. In addition, the fabrication of more complicated shaped vessels such as the U-type vascular grafts is easily controlled by using a mold. This method might give a desired compliact graft for artificial implantaion with the commercially available medical polymers.

The purpose of this study was to determine potential moderating effects on organizational fairness and one's collectivism propensity as determinants of organizational effectiveness of construction site managers. In particular, this study sought to verify if site managers' collectivism propensity could have moderating effects on relationships between organizational fairness and organizational effectiveness, so that it could find out the importance of moderating effects on organizational fairness and site managers' collectivism propensity. In order to meet these goals, this study selected organizational fairness as a factor that affects organizational effectiveness. Organizational fairness can be divided broadly into distributive fairness and procedural fairness. And this study also selected organizational commitment and job satisfaction as variables of organizational effectiveness, which result from organizational fairness and collectivism propensity of site manager. Moreover, this study selected the collectivism propensity of site manager as a variable that moderates potential effects on organizational fairness and effectiveness. As a result, this study could come to the following findings in detail: First, it was found that organizational fairness had significant effects on organizational effectiveness, which was demonstrated in the result of relevant hypothesis test. Secondly, it was found that construction site managers' collectivism propensity had no moderating effect upon relationships between organizational fairness and effectiveness.

Research on ways to improve e-learning effectiveness has been actively conducted due to the increased numbers of web-based e-learning learners. Of many variables related to e-learning effectiveness, self-regulated learning strategy and presence have been reported as major factors that influences academic achievement in e-learning settings. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-regulated learning strategy and presence on academic achievement in web-based e-learning. In addition, this study tried to provide useful basic data for successful support and design of e-learning by verifying the mediating effect of these variables. As a result, it was verified that teaching presence and social presence have mediating effects in the relationship between self-regulated learning strategy and perceived achievement in web-based e-learning. Moreover, subjective perception of student's academic achievement played a mediating role between learners' perceived presence and academic achievement. Through this study, it is verified that it is necessary to search for ways to improve the level of learners' teaching presence and social presence in web-based e-learning design in order to eventually improve academic achievement.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of weight control behaviors and their association with food and nutrient intake among Korean adults. Study subjects were 7,340 Koreans aged 20 years and older in the 1998 Korean Health and Nutrient Survey. Cross-sectional data were collected on weight control behavior and diet using structured questionnaire by interview. Analysis of variance following after Duncan's multiple range test was used to test the differences in food and nutrient intake among three different weight control behavior groups(weight reducing attempt, weight gaining attempt, none). Current weight control behaviors were reported by 32% of the study subjects. There were significant differences in weight control behaviors between male and female subjects; weight reducing practices were 7 times greater than weight gaining practices among female subjects while it was only 1.5 times among male subjects. Weight control behaviors were not consistently associated with food and nutrient intake among male and female subjects. Moreover, greater food and nutrient intake were observed among those who trying to reducing weight than those who did not try. Therefore, it Is necessary to educate the Korean adults that balanced food and nutrient intake with sustaind weight control effort is the ideal way to achieve healthy weight.

Purpose: The efficacy of periarticular multimodal drug injection and adductor canal block after a medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy was compared in terms of the postoperative pain level. Materials and Methods: From November 2016 to March 2017, 60 patients underwent a medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy under spinal anesthesia. Preemptive analgesic medication, intravenous patient controlled anesthesia were used for pain control in all patients. Thirty patients received a periarticular multimodal drug injection (group I), and 30 patients received an adductor canal block (group II). These two groups were compared regarding the postoperative pain level, frequency of additional tramadol injections, total amount of patient-controlled analgesia, and number of times that the patients pushed the patient-controlled analgesia button at each time interval. Results: The visual analogue scale scores over the two-week postoperative period showed no statistical significance. The frequency of additional tramadol hydrochloride injections was similar in the two groups over time. The mean number of times that patients pushed the patient-controlled analgesia button was similar in two groups over time. The total amount of patient-controlled analgesia was similar in the two groups over time. Conclusion: This study shows that intraoperative periarticular multimodal drug injections and adductor canal block may have a similar effect on postoperative pain control in patients who have undergone a medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy for unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee.

The polymeric matrices coated with poly(DL-lactide) were prepared using chitosan derivatives such as chitosan, chitosan hydrochloride, and sulfonated chitosan for application of drug delivery systems. The drug release study using prednisolone as a model drug was performed in the hydrochloride solution at pH 1.2. The release rate of drug was decreased according to the increased content of matrices. The release rate of prednisolone according to the kinds of polymeric matrices coated were decreased in the order to chitosan, sulfonated chitosan, and chitosan hydrochloride. Drug release rate of polymeric matrices coated with poly(DL-lactide) was not only two times slower than noncoated one, but also the burst effect of initial period of drug release was decreased in comparison with noncoated one. From these results, it was expected that these formulations based on the chitosan derivative matrices coasted with poly(DL-lactide) were acceptable drug delivery devices for a sustained-release dosage form of drug.

This study examines the generalizability of the existing research in an on-line auction situation which suggests that there exist a gap between buyer's willing-to-pay price(WTP) and seller's willing-to-sell price(WTS) about the same product due to the endowment effect and consumers' loss aversion propensity. At the same time, this study also identifies and examines the potential moderating factors for the effect such as product type and consumer's goal orientation based on existing theories about consumers' gain-loss heuristics. The results show that WTS is consistently higher than WTP, and that such gap gets more pronounced when the target product is hedonic vs. utilitarian and when consumers have prevention goals vs. promotion goals. Lastly, limitations and managerial implications of this study is discussed.
