Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the changes of a physiologic nature and the sedative parameters associated with dexmedetomidine and pethidine, in patients undergoing plate and screw removal surgery, after orthognathic surgery. Methods: Twenty-three patients were sedated with dexmedetomidine and pethidine during plate and screw removal, after orthognathic surgery. An initial loading dose of dexmedetomidine ($1.0{\mu}g/kg$ infused over 10 minutes) was followed by a maintenance dose ($1.0{\mu}g/kg/hr$). Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, oxygen saturation, and heart rate were monitored. Perioperative amnesia and anxiety were recorded. Results: Significant changes were found in the blood pressure and heart rate (Freidman test, P<0.05), but not in oxygen saturation (Freidman test, P>0.05). Amnesia during local injection was observed in eight patients (34.8%). Compared with the preoperative anxiety score, the intraoperative anxiety score was decreased. Conclusion: In this study, we found cardiovascular and respiratory stability in intravenous sedation using dexmedetomidine with pethidine, in plate and screw removal, after orthognathic surgery. Furthemore, intravenous sedation using dexmedetomidine with pethidine shows adequate analgesic and sedative effects.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of phytosterol ester addition on lowering blood cholesterol in cholesterol-reduced Cheddar cheese. For cholesterol removal, separated cream was treated with 10% ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin at 800 rpm, then blended with remaining skim milk and homogenized with 1,000 psi at $70^{\circ}C$. Experimental cheeses were manufactured by five different levels of phytosterol addition. After the cholesterol reduction process by ;${\beta}$-cyclodextrin, the cholesterol removal rate was in the range of 91.0 to 92.1%. Amount of short-chain free fatty acid and free amino acids increased with an increase of phytosterol ester, and those were significantly different from that of control in all ripening periods. All rheological properties also increased with an increase of phytosterol ester during ripening period. In sensory analysis, the scores of rancid, bitterness Cheddar flavor and off-flavor intensities increased significantly, while texture was decreased during ripening in phytosterol ester-added groups. Total blood cholesterol was reduced by 18% when rats were fed Cheddar cheese treated with 8% phytosterol. The present study indicated that phytosterol ester addition resulted in a profound lowering effect of blood with cholesterol-reduced Cheddar cheese.

In this study, a cancer treatment by accumulating and aggregating ferromagnetic particles in newborn blood vessels was examined. It is necessary for this treatment to control dispersion-aggregation property of ferromagnetic particles. Ferromagnetic particles required in this method disperse at low magnetic field, aggregate at high magnetic field and maintain the aggregation even after removal of the magnetic field. In order to control the dispersion-aggregation property, the surface of magnetite particles was modified with higher fatty acids having different lengths. As a result, we succeeded to prepare propionic acid-modified magnetite particles that form irreversible aggregation by magnetic field. The model experiments simulating newborn blood vessels showed that these particles can block the flow by the magnetic field, and the blockage was maintained after removal of the magnetic field.

This is a report on four cases of atelectasis which were implicated as one case of mucoid impaction and three cases of blood clots in main bronchus. The 1st case was found to be massive atelectasis on Lt. entire lung due to mucoid impaction with pulmonary tuberculosis. This case was performed the Lt. pneumonectomy. There are contain-ing impacted yellowish-gray jelly like thick materials on the Lt. whole bronchial trees and pathologic findings were consistent with tuberculosis including caseation necrosis and multinucleated giant cell on whole left lung thoroughly in microscopic findings. The 2nd and 3rd case [25 years old female and 30 years old female] were diagnosed as one sided entire lung ateletasis which were led by accumulation of old blood clots on bronchus following incomplete expectoration of sudden massive hemoptysis from pulmonary tuberculosis lesion. These two cases were recovered by removal of blood clots and bronchial irrigation under bronchoscopy. Follow up chest film revealed well aeration. The 4th case [45 years old] was taken the removal of old blood clots and tissue debris under the bronchoscopy as bronchial obstruction following massive hemoptysis. The cytologic findings revealed the class III in fresh sputum and class 1V in bronchial irrigation which may suggest of malignancy. However, we could not found the causative lesions suggestive malignancy by the bronchography and other diagnostic measurements.

A quasi-experimental study was conducted to examine the effect of ice pack application to post cardiac surgery toddlers before C-tube removal. Twenty toddlers aged 13 months to 24 months, who were admitted to the hospital for open heart surgery during the period from July, 1993 to October, 1993 were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group. An ice pack was applied to the C-tube insertion site for 8 minutes before C-tube removal for the experimental group. The children were videotaped during the procedure to assess pain behavior and crying time. The score on the Modified Behavioral Pain Scale(MBPS), crying time, and vital signs were measured to determine the effect of ice pack application. The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test, Paired t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient. The result of the study are as follows : 1. There was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in pain behavior (U=17.0, p=.01). 2. There was no significant difference between the two groups in crying time. 3. There was a significant difference between the two groups in heart rate (U=24.5, p=.05). 4. There was a significant difference between the two groups in systolic blood pressure (U=24.0, p=.05) 5. There was a significant difference between the two groups in diastolic blood pressure (U=23.0, p=.04). 6. There was no significant difference between the two groups in respiration rate. 7. Pain behavior was significantly correlated with heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and crying time (r=.50, .54 and .59, p<.05). The result showed that the ice pack application was effective to reduce pain related to C-tube removal for the toddlers. From the study, it is recommended that the effectiveness of the cold ap-plication to children undergoing different painful procedures be examined to determine the most effective length of cold application to reduce pain in children.

The safety of blood and blood products is ensured by careful selection of donors. screening of donated blood and the use of validated viral inactivation and/or removal steps during the manufacture of blood products. Serologic screening procedures have substantially reduces the risk of transmission of blood-bone viruses. However, there are still residual risks despite these measures due to the inclusion of 'window period'donations. (omitted)

Blood glue was prepared to reutilize porcine blood. Plasma proteins after lyophilization were treated by addition of wood flour, sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate, and hydrated lime to make blood glue with a suitable adhesivity. Characteristics of the prepared blood glue was monitored by measuring the viscosity with time, and the relationship between degree of hydrolysis of plasma proteins by addition of various amounts of sodium hydroxide and adhesivity was studied. To prevent the emission of formaldehyde during manufacturing of plywood by blood glue, the cross-linking reaction of plasma protein with formaldehyde was also examined. Fourier transform infrared, circular dichroism, and fluorescence spectroscopy study showed that blood plasma proteins react with formaldehyde, resulting in removal of formaldehyde by cross-linking reaction.

The risks of homologous blood transfusion are well documented and recently increased with the emergence of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This is a report concerning 29 consecutive adult with no blood conservation patients (Group I) who had an elective cardiac operations. A similar group of 29 patients operated on 1992 but with blood conservation (Group II). In I of Group I patients and 15 of Group II patients, no homologous blood products were required. Group II patients used significantly less fresh frozen plasma (2.05${\pm}$0.68 unit versus 6.52${\pm}$0.72 unit, p<0.05) and the homologous blood transfusion (0.42${\pm}$0.9 unit versus 3.64${\pm}$0.17 unit, p<0.05) than Group I patients. Group II patients had also significantly less postoperative bleeding (338${\pm}$39.9 ml versus 585${\pm}$93.0 ml, p<0.05) than Group I patients. Group II patients recieved 460${\pm}$62.6 ml of mediastinal shed blood in acquired group. In conclusion, a simple and inexpensive blood conservation program, mainly combining autologous blood removal before bypass, retransfusion of the volume remaining in the oxygenator, and consistent autotransfusion of mediastinal shed blood has enabled us to avoid infusion of homologous blood in 15/29 patients of Group II patients. No side effects or complicatinos could be related to the blood conservation program.

A rapid and sensitive method for the determination of glyphosate, a phosphated amino acid herbicide, in whole blood is presented. After removal of protein, the whale blood was purified by using the anion exchange resin (Dowex 1), and derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMCL). Derivatized glyphosate from blood sample was injected onto a Whatman partisil 10SAX column and separated with 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) and acetonitrile (ratio=3:1). The high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection gave the detection limit of 86pg and linearity of 0.9999 in the range of 0.25 $\mu$g/ml and 25 $\mu$g/ml. The recoveries of glyphosate added to the blood samples were ranged from 75.3% to 100.4% compared to the samples prepared in water. The derivatized glyphosate was stable at various acidity and temperature. This method has been successfully applied to the blood samples of lethal intoxication with the herbicide glyphosate.
