Computerized Tomography is now well established and important noninvasive method of diagnosting mediastinal mass lesions because of its superior imaging of their size, location and internal composition. Authors ana lysed and present CT findings of 30 surgically proven mediastinal tumors and cysts that were studied and treated at the Yeungnam University Hospital during recent 6 years. The most common tumor was thymona(9 cases), and teratoma(6 cases), lymphoma(6 cases), bronchogenic cyst(4 cases), neurogenic tumor (4 cases), pericardial cyst(1 case) were next in order of frequency. There were 5 cases of thymoma showing homogenous solid density mass, 2 cases were malignant thymoma and myasthenia gravis was present in 2 cases. A case of thymolipoma and a case of thymic carcinoma were included. All teratomas were cystic masses but pathognomic fat, and calcified density were seen only in 4 cases. 5 cases were located in anterior mediastinum and 1 case was in posterior mediastinum. Lymphoma(3 Hodgkin's and 3 non-Hodgkin's) appeared as irregular lobulated mass in anterior mediastinum. Neurogenic tumor(2 ganglioneuroma and 2 neurilemmoma) appeared as homogenous density mass located in posterior mediastinum. Among the 4 bronchogenic cysts, 2 were located in retrotracheal area, 1 was located in subcarinal and 1 was in parathoracic area. One case of pericardial cyst was oval shaped cystic mass located in left pericardiac border.

Purpose To evaluate the ultrasonographic characteristics of steatocystomas focusing on the features that aid in differentiating them from epidermal inclusion cysts and lipomas. Materials and Methods The ultrasonographic findings of 14 histologically proven steatocystomas in 10 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The following features were assessed: the layer of involvement, shape, margin, echogenicity, posterior acoustic features, and the presence of a visible wall or intralesional striations. The findings were compared with those of subcutaneous lipomas and epidermal inclusion cysts to identify those findings that aid in the differential diagnosis of steatocystomas. Results The majority of steatocystomas appeared as a subcutaneous mass (n = 6, 42.9%) or a mass involving both the dermal and subcutaneous layers (n = 6, 42.9%). Steatocystomas exhibited a well-defined smooth margin (n = 12, 85.7%) and homogeneous echogenicity (n = 9, 64.3%), and showed no specific posterior acoustic features (n = 9, 64.3%). The most important features that differentiated steatocystomas from epidermal inclusion cysts were a homogeneous internal echotexture (p = 0.009) and absent or less prominent posterior acoustic enhancement (p < 0.001). The features that distinguished steatocystomas from lipomas were the margin (p < 0.001), echogenicity (p = 0.034), internal echotexture (p = 0.004), and the absence of intralesional striations (p < 0.001). Conclusion Steatocystomas appeared as well-defined homogeneous masses with mild or absent posterior acoustic enhancement.

제비꽃속 34분류군의 61개체를 대상으로 엽록체 DNA 게놈 특이 유전자의 특징을 알아보고자 하였다. 61개체의 엽록체 게놈 전체 길이는 155,535~158,940 bp 로 모두 전형적인 사분할 구조였다. 지역별로는 LSC 지역이 84,826~87,250 bp, SSC 지역이 16,338~18,654 bp, 그리고 IR 지역이 26,029~27,192 bp 였다. 유전자 개수는 131개로 84개 protein coding-gene, 37개 tRNA 유전자, 8개 rRNA유전자, 그리고 2개의 유사유전자인 𝜓rps19, 𝜓ycf1으로 구성되어 있었다. LSC/IRa 경계에 위치한 rps19 유전자 길이는 279 bp로 모든 분류군에서 동일하였으며, 𝜓rps19의 길이는 다양했으나 유전자 개수에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. SSC/IRb 경계에 위치한 ycf1 유전자 길이는 약 5,600 bp 였으나, V. japonica (MZ151699) 1개체에서는 다른 종에 비해 약 1,000 bp 위치에서 발생한 점돌연변이로 인해 종결 코돈이 나타나는 특징을 보였다. 한편 13분류군의 23개체에서는 𝜓ycf1의 길이가 650 bp 정도 짧은 것을 확인하였는데, 이 종류들은 원예종인 V. tricolor (ON262802) 이외에는 모두 줄기가 없는 분류군들로 IR 지역의 확장과 SSC 지역의 수축에 의한 것으로 판단된다. ndhF는 대체로 SSC 지역에 위치하나, V. inconspicua (MZ065354), V. mongolica (MW802534, ON548135), V. yunnanfuensis (MW802541) 등 4개체에서는 IRa/SSC 경계에 위치하면서 유사유전자가 발생하였고, 그 결과 다른 제비꽃 종류에 비해 유전자 개수가 132개로 차이를 보였다. 또한, V. collina (OP271831), V. mirabilis (MH256000), V. tricolor (ON262802) 등 3분류군에서는 SSC 지역이 inversion 되어 엽록체 이성질체가 존재함을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 제비 꽃속 엽록체 게놈 61개체의 ycf1, 𝜓ycf1, ndhF, 𝜓ndhF 등은 유전자 길이와 개수 등에 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 제비꽃속에서도 엽록체 이성질체가 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The selection of the support system is an important design parameter in design and construction of the tunnel using the new Australian tunnel method. It is a common practice to select the support based on the rock mass grade, in which the rock mass is classified into five rock groups. The method is applicable if the characteristics of the rock mass are uniform in the direction of tunnel excavation. However, such case is seldom encountered in practice and not applicable when the properties vary along the longitudinal direction. This study performs comprehensive three dimensional finite difference analyses to investigate the ground deformation pattern for cases in which the rock mass properties change in the direction of the tunnel axis. The numerically calculated displacements at the tunnel crown show that the displacement is highly dependent on the stiffness contrast of the rock masses. The results strongly indicate the need to select the support type $0.5{\sim}1.0D$ before the rock mass boundary. The paper proposes a new guideline for selecting the support type based the results of the analyses.

This study was carried out to clarify changes in community structure of Quercus acutissima dominant stand on the south slope of Mt. Danseok-san with fixed twenty quadrates. Five field surveys were conducted from Aug. 1999 to May 2018. During the period, the density lessened to 0.20 in 2012 comparing with 0.33 in 1999. However recent field study in 2018 showed moderate rising to 0.24. In 1999, the DBH class distribution of all trees formed reverse J curve. However, the reverse J curve was torn down, forming bell curve. In 2018, the curve showed similar shape of reverse J shape on the group of young trees, forming bell shape on the group of mature trees. It reveals that DBH 13cm is on the threshold of trees competition trend where the downtrend in the trees are on uptrend. The most dominant Q. acutissima formed bell curve. The peak of the curve shows the shift to the right of the graph as it gets lower by year.In case of Q. mongolica, shows a change in the shape of a low bell as the distribution curve increases. The oak stand in this study is in the process of changing from the initial stage of the secondary forest succession to the intermediate stage. The most dominant tree is Q. acutissima, and the sub-dominant tree is Q. mongolica in present. Considering the age distribution of the two competing tree species, the succession of this stand is expected to transfer to the Q. mongolica-dominant community.

Periosteal chondroma is a rare, slow-growing, benign cartilaginous tumor that develops between the periosteum and cortex, but there are no reports of multiple periosteal chondroma of the toes. A 19-year-old male presented with a palpable mass of the right fourth toe with tenderness for one year. A radiology examination revealed multiple, radio-lucent lesions with mild cortical irregularity. The magnetic resonance imaging findings were chondrogenic tumors with multiple, well-defined T1-low and T2-high signal enhanced lesions involved in the fourth proximal, middle, and distal phalanges. The tumors were removed by a surgical resection and curettage. Histologically, the tumors were proven to be periosteal chondroma.

Primary pulmonary malignant melanoma is an extremely rare type of melanoma. The radiologic features of primary pulmonary malignant melanoma are nonspecific; however, it almost always presents as a well-demarcated round or lobulated solitary solid nodule or mass. Herein, we report the case of a 78-year-old male with primary pulmonary malignant melanoma that was mistaken for primary pulmonary adenocarcinoma with lepidic growth and was seen as bilateral multiple subsolid nodules on CT.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the seventh curriculum textbooks and teacher's guides of high school science courses in relation to the generation (mechanism) of magma in subduction boundary and find the incorrect descriptions of the texts and the figures (illustrations) and then suggest some improved schemes. According to the result there are many discrepancies in definition of 'magma' among the textbooks and further little scientific explanations about the formation mechanism of magma in most textbooks, and even no descriptions about that. In addition, the figures are inconsistent with the description of the text and also have some incorrect depiction which might contribute to the forming and reinforcing misconceptions about Plate Tectonics as well as a volcanic activity in subduction boundary. On the basis of the previous researches, therefore, some improved schemes (text descriptions and figures) are suggested. The results of this study should be used as a reference for publishing science textbook, developing science curriculum, and teaching effectively in the high school.
