Korean Yung-il bentonite was treated with potassium chloride, zinc chloride, calcium chloride, ferric chloride, or chromic chloride solutions respectively varying their concentration, treating temperature and treating time. The adsorbabilities of methylene blue on these pretreated bentonite were investigated. In the case of treatment with potassium chloride solution, the improvement of the adsorbahility of methylene blue on the products was observed, and in the best result the adsorbability was 1.6 times better than that on the original bentonite. With zinc chloride solution, the optimum adsorbability was a value of 1.7 times better than that on the original bentonite. With ferric chloride, chromic chloride or calcium chloride solution, slight improvement of the adsorbability was observed.

Knitted fabrics are very popular for their numerous advantages such as greater comfort, attractive garment appearance, better fit on the body, etc. In this study, we investigated the mechanical properties and abrasion property of warp knitted fabrics for footwear which treated with several softeners to improve abrasion resistance. The antistatic softener among the various softeners showed high improvement in abrasion resistance. Among the mechanical properties with treating conditions, WT (tensile energy), G (shear stiffness), B (bending rigidity) increased as treating timeincreased. But the other mechanical properties were little changed with treating concentration.

The cabbage extract of the research does not show cytotoxicity, and thus can be used safely. In an experiment performed on an animal model with liver injury induced by a drug (APAP), it could be seen that the cabbage extract exhibited the effects of protecting liver and improving liver function by effectively reducing AST and ALT which are liver injury markers, indicating that the cabbage extract is effective as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating liver disease. In particular, the cabbage extract was effective in treating inflammation of the liver by reducing the expression of the inflammatory mediators iNOS and COX-2 and the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β, which are involved in acute inflammatory reactions accompanying liver injury. In the research, an extract of cabbage heat-treated at a temperature of 100 to 150℃ had a better liver function-improving effect or anti-inflammatory effect than an extract of raw cabbage.

Surgery remains the standard treatment for resectable thoracic esophageal cancer but that is justified only when acceptably low morbidity and mortality rates can be achieved even for advanced disease. The appropriate extent of resection to achieve the best outcome is the most controversial aspect of treating esopahgeal cancer and the optimal excent of lymphadenectomy also remains controversial. Until data from prospective randomized trials showing a clear benefit using a particular approach are available, surgeons should perform their better judgement in individualizing and selecting the most appropriate surgical approach to provide the best chance of cure or lasting palliation for this disease that challanges both patient and surgeon. Further studies are necessary to examine the utility and efficacy of each approach in treating thoracic esophageal cancer either alone or in combination with other modalities.

Patients with severe mental problems have difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene, so that the incidence of dental disease is greater, the disease is more severe, and the progression is much faster in these patients. Generally, they require physical restraint, drug-induced sedation, and general anesthesia since they are not cooperative. In many cases, these patients have systemic disease, so that the prognosis after dental treatment depends highly on the management of existing diseases. The problems related to treating these patients are examined and methods of using general anesthesia and sedatives are further examined to propose better ways of treating these patients.

Purpose: Silicone gel sheet(SGS) is used for preventing and treating keloid or hypertrophic scars. Because the product is weak in tear strength and adherence, it requires several replacements, which requires high cost. As a solution for this problem, we developed a new silicone gel sheet, named as Scar Clinic, and confirmed its physical properties. Methods: Tensile strength, elongation rate, adhesiveness, and water vapor transmission rate were experimentally compared between the most commonly used SGS product and the Scar Clinic. Results: The newly developed SGS showed better results compared to the existed SGS in regards to tensile strength, elongation rate, adhesiveness, and water vapor transmission rate. Conclusion: The Scar Clinic showed higher durability and flexibility. It will be a useful product for treating scars clinically.

Objectives : This experiment study was performed to investigate the anti-inflammation and anti-oxidant effects of Indigo Naturalis(IN) and Rehmanniae Radix(RR) which were herbs for clearing heat. Methods : Anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation effects of IN and RR that were measured by the inhibitory ability of Nitric oxide(NO) production and the scavenging for 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical. Results : 1. IN and RR groups were not showed cell toxicity. 2. In the inhibitory ability of NO production, IN groups were better than RR groups, but there were no statistical significances among the groups. 3. In the scavenging for DPPH radical, IN groups were better than RR groups, but there were no statistical significances among the groups. Conclusions : These results showed that the IN group was better than the RR group in treating skin eruptions, especially those such as erythema, purple spot, papule, pustules which appear in acute inflammation.

Evaluation of turbulence models is performed for a better prediction of thermal stratification in an upper plenum of a liquid metal reactor by applying them to the experiment conducted at JNC. The turbulence models tested in the present study are the two-layer model, the $\kappa-\omega$ model, the v2-f model and the low-Reynolds number differential stress-flux model. When the algebraic flux model or differential flux model are used for treating the turbulent heat flux, there exist little differences between turbulence models in predicting the temporal variation of temperature. However, the v2-f model and the low-Reynolds number differential stress-flux model better predict the steep gradient o( temperature at the interface of thermal stratification, and only the v2-f model predicts properly the oscillation of temperature. The LES Is needed for a better prediction of the amplitude and frequency of the temperature fluctuation.

Digital textile printing(DTP) technology made considerable advances in recent years. In this study, a pre-treatment agent has been prepared for the better coloration of digital textile printing. The ink formulation contained three kinds of 5g thickener (CMC, Sodium alginate, Dextrin), 25g urea, 5g sodium carbonate, and 465g distilled water. The optimal sharpness of outline was found in the 1-3% concentration of the pre-treating agent with a viscosity of 10-15 cSt. Even if the color difference between untreated and treated samples was not apparent in the printing step, the color appearance increased after steaming. The color appearance of cyan, magenta, yellow, black reactive colorants increased in the order of CMC>Sodium alginate>Dextrin. Wash fastness to shade change and staining for the treated samples were 4-5 rating, while untreated sample was 1-2 rating. Also, the pre-treated sample with 1:1 mixtures had 4-5 rating. Both dry and wet rubbing fastness to shade change and staining were excellent in the treated samples, whereas rubbing fastness of untreated sample was 1-2 rating. With exception of 3 rating to black color, light fastness properties were 4 rating for the remaining three colors in the regardless of treatment condition and mixing of pre-treating agents. Dry cleaning fastness of all samples were also 4-5 rating irrespective of treatment condition and mixing of pre-treating agents.
