Various vascularized free flaps have been used for midfacial reconstruction after ablative head and neck cancer surgery. The most common donor sites for free flap include latissimus dorsi, rectus abdominis, and radial forearm. Between 1994 and 2004, 14 patients underwent free flap operation after head and neck cancer ablation, and were reviewed retrospectively. Among 14 free flaps, 8 were latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps, 3 rectus abdominis myocutaneous flaps and 3 radial forearm flaps, respectively. The overall survival rate of the flap was 100%. Complications were wound dehiscence(5 cases) and ptosis(1 case). We designed multiple dimensionally folded free flap for midfacial reconstruction. For 3-dimensional flap needs, we used latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap. 2-Dimensional flap was latissimus dorsi or rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap and 1-dimensional flap was radial forearm flap. In this study we produced an algorithm for midfacial reconstruction. Large volume with many skin paddle defects were best reconstructed with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap or rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap. Radial forearm flap was used for reconstruction of small volume and little skin paddle defects.

In this work, the properties of FRP, which is applied recently in the composite insulating materials, by thermal treatment were investigated. The specimens were epoxy glass laminates fabricated by thermal press method and had the volume content of 46[%] cutted $45^{\circ}C$ in the fiber direction and 1.0[mm] thickness. The experimental results showed that the amount of weight loss, wettability, surface potential, and surface resistivity increased up to 200[$^{\circ}C$] as a function of temperature. Usually, most degradations caused the hydrophilic to decrease the contact angle. But, in this work on thermal-degradated FRP, we can confirm the introduction of hydrophobic properties by cross-linking and the ablation of polar small-molecules rather than chain scission and oxidation. Finally, weight loss and contact angle increased. These phenomena show the existence of hydrophobic surface. With the change to the hydrophobic surface and the electrical potential and resistivity on FRP surface increased. But, the dielectric properties and tensile stength are decreased.

직경 대 길이비(L/D)의 값이 큰 고체 추진기관에서는 축방향 연소불안정 현상이 발생할 가능성이 높다. 일반적으로 이러한 현상을 억제하기 위해 추진제에 금속입자를 포함시키거나 그레인 설계시 축방향 압력 진동을 억제할 수 있도록 형상을 고안한다. Slotted-Tube형 그레인을 적용한 고체 추진기관은 연소시 Slot의 영향으로 인해 축방향 1차 모드 압력진동이 억제되나 연소관 후방 내열재 삭마로 인해 공동이 형성되어 Vortex Shedding에 의한 2차 모드 압력진동이 증폭될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 4 Slotted Tube형 고체 추진기관의 설계 개선을 통해 Vortex Shedding을 억제하여 연소불안정 현상을 개선하였다.

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive surgical method mainly targeting deeply located cancer tissue. Ultrasound is generated from an extemally located transducer and the beam is focused at the target volume, so that selective damage can be achieved without harm to overlying or surrounding tissues. The mechanism for cell killing can be combination of thermal and cavitational damage. Although cavitation can be an effective means of tissue destruction, the possibility of massive hemorrhage and the unpredictable nature of cavitational events prevent clinical application of cavitation. Hence, thermal damage has been a main focus related to HIFU research. 2D phased array transducer systems allow electronic scanning of focus, multi-foci, and anti-focus with multi-foci, so that HIFU becomes more applicable in clinical use. Currently, lack of noninvasive monitoring means of HIFU is the main factor to limit clinical applications, but development in MRI and Ultrasound Imaging techniques may be able to provide solutions to overcome this problem. With the development of advanced focusing algorithm and monitoring means, complete noninvasive surgery is expected to be implemented in the near future.

In our study, the PTFE nozzle ablation in the high-voltage self-blast type $SF_6$ gas circuit breaker was investigated. The test circuit breaker has the structure that the pin electrode is moving and the pressure reservoir volume and the dimension is almost same as commercial 145kv 40kA circuit breaker for similar result in real circuit breaker. The variation of current and arcing time was the range of $36kA_{rms}$(symmetry) - $40kA_{rms}$(asymmetry) and 10-16 ms. From the measured data the tendecy of the mass loss of the nozzle to current load and arc energy was estimated. In this process, the distance from the arc to nozzle(PTFE) surface, area which was exposed to arc and stroke contour was considered. These results will be used to enhance the accuracy of the computational fluid dynamics analysis in circuit breaker and estimate the residual life time of a circuit breaker.

In this paper, we are proposing a robust tool which is capable of measuring the size and elemental composition of submicron particles from twenty to several hundreds nanometers at the same time, i.e., named Single Particle Mass Spectrometer (SPMS). The home-made SPMS employs a laser ablation/multi-photon ionization method to tear a nanoparticle into the constituent elemental ions. One thing different from the conventional Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (ATOFMS) is the power of the ionization laser. Much strong laser used in this work makes it possible to generate elemental ions rather than molecular ions from a nanoparticle. Also the use of high power laser may guarantee a complete ionization of a particle, which was confirmed by the existence of multiple charged ions. If a particle is evaporated/ionized completely and detected through electric field-free TOF tube without any loss, we can extract the original particle volume from the measured total ion numbers. Collecting a number of particles mass spectra, we get a database of size and elemental composition of nanoparticles, with which we may take a took into any kinds of chemical reaction occurring at nanoscale. Several issues related to size estimation by SPMS will be discussed.

Er:YAG 레이저는 파장이 물의 주흡수 정점과 일치하는 $2.94{\mu}m$의 방출파장을 가지기 때문에, 물분사를 하면서 사용했을 때, 다른 레이저보다 열손상은 더 작으면서 치아경조직을 보다 효과적으로 삭제한다고 알려져 있다. Er:YAG 레이저의 상아질 삭제 효과를 평가하고자 발거된 소구치와 대구치를 대상으로 상아질 시편을 제작하고 $2.94{\mu}m$의 pulsed Er:YAG 레이저(SDL-300EN, 삼성전자, 한국)를 handpiece형의 전달계를 이용한 비접촉식 방법으로, 물에 담궈진 시간과 레이저 조사시간에 따른 삭제량과 형태를 조사, 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 건전 상아질에 대한 조사 결과물에 담군 시간이 증가할수록 삭제율이 증가하였다. 2. 건전 상아질과 우식 상아질에 150mJ, 10Hz의 조건으로, 30초간 레이저를 조사했을 때, 우식상아질에 비해 건전 상아질에서 surface irregularity가 증가하고 상아세관이 열리는 경향이 있었으며 crack이 관찰되었다. 또한 우식 상아질에 비해 많은 탄조각(ash flecks), crack이 관찰되었고 상아세관의 불연속성 (inconsistency)이 관찰되었다. 3. 우식 상아질에서 30초로 조사한 경우에서는 dark zone이 와동에 국한되어 나타났으며 작은 fleck들이 관찰되었고, 1분간 조사한 경우에서는 30초의 경우보다도 와동이 더 넓었으며, crack이 상아세관 주행방향과 직각으로 형성된 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 2분간 조사한 경우는 와동이 가장 넓었으며 crack이 더 많이 형성된 것을 볼 수 있었다.

Objectives : Ablation of carcinoma of the tongue leads to deficits in speech and swallowing, but none to date has provided all of the qualities of mobility and sensation to simulate the complex function of the tongue. The authors evaluated postoperative swallowing and pronouncing function in patients who underwent tongue reconstruction using free flap. Material and Methods : This is a retrospective review documenting the outcome of 42 patients between January of 1991 and August of 2008. We classified patients according to the size of resection of the tongue like as 7 partial glossectomy, 25 hemiglossectomy, 2 subtotal glossectomy, and 8 total glossectomy. Swallowing function was graded into 4 point scale and pronouncing function was analyzed using picture consonant articulation test. Aspiration was evaluated with videofluoroscopic swallowing study. Results : The average points for swallowing function were 3.43 in partial glossectomy, 3.52 in hemiglossectomy, 3 in subtotal glossectomy, and 2.63 in total glossectomy. The percentage of consonants correct showed 76.5% in partial glossectomy, 72.29% in hemiglossectomy, 47.69% in subtotal glossectomy, and 29.94% in total glossectomy. Aspiration was noted in 3 patients(1 hemiglossectomy and 2 total glossectomy) and 2 total glossectomy patients were taken permanent feeding gastrostomy. Conclusion : Free flap gave us proper volume in tongue reconstruction and showed good result in preserving swallowing function. Swallowing function difference according to the size of defect showed no statistical significance, whereas articulation function was shown to decrease in accuracy as the size of defect was larger.

Renal compensatory adaptation caused by ablation of a part of renal mass has long been known in the field of the compensatory renal hypertrophy or hyperplasia. Many reports were found on the chronic mechanisms on the compensatory renal hyperfunction after exclusion of the contralateral kidney. However the mechanism(s) of the acute compensatory hyperfunction after contralateral exclusion has not yet been clarified. In the present experiment, we have tried to prove the possibility of the involvement of the renin-angiotensin system and/or prostaglandin system in the control mechanism of the acute compensatory renal hyperfunction after contralateral kidney exclusion. There were found different responses of the renal hyperfunction by contralateral renal pedicle or ureteral occlusion. Contralateral renal pedicle or ureteral occlusion caused a sustained increases of the urinary volume, sodium and potassium excretion, while the magnitude of the changes was different quantitatively by the maneuvers. Blood collection affected on the acute compensatory renal responses after ureteral as well as renal pedicle occlusion. Plasma prostaglandin $E_2$ level was not changed by the contralateral renal pedicle or ureteral occlusion. Urinary excretion of Prostaglandin $E_2$, the indices of renal prostaglandin biosynthesis, was not changed by the contralateral renal pedicle occlusion, but increased without significance by the contralateral ureteral occlusion. Acute renal compensatory responses after contralateral renal pedicle occlusion were blocked by the pretreatment of indomethacin. Plasma renin activity increased after contralateral ureteral occlusion, but the pattern of the increases was the same as in the time-control group. Plasma renin activity after contralateral renal pedicle occlusion did not change by the time sequence. SQ 20,881, an angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitor, blunted the contralateral renal responses after the renal pedicle occlusion. Bilateral renal denervation abolished the contralateral renal responses after the renal pedicle occlusion. The above data suggest that there is no direct evidence to support the involvement of the renin-angiotensin system and/or prostaglandin system for the acute compensatory renal hyperfunction after contralateral kidney exclusion, and that the functional changes of the intact kidney may be caused by a humoral substances, or other mechanisms by afferent renal nerve activity originating from the treated kidney.
