The construction noise Is one of the main causes of environmental impact. The complaints about it have been increasing every year. In order to reduce construction machinery noise, the product noise labeling for construction machinery has been recommended since 1 February 1996 and In the near future the government will convert the recommended product noise labeling to the mandatory product noise labeling for high noise construction machinery. Therefore, we investigated the noise and vibration level of 302 construction machines in construction work sites. This paper presents the basic data that will be used for setting the standard of construction machinery noise and predicting the noise level near construction work sites in environmental Impact assessment.

This paper presents a case study on blasting vibration reduction in NATM(New Australian Tunnelling Method) tunnel construction carried out under a congested residential area. In NATM tunnel constructions, blasting is an essential process, thus vibration phenomenon is inevitable. Therefore, the vibration reduction was tried to avoid expected complaints from the public living in the area. Test blastings were performed to get the constants for an estimation formula of vibration velocity. Then the influence area was approximated using the estimation formula, and construction methods for the vibration reduction were sought based on the results.

Diverse sports are appearing due to the enhanced quality of life and improved cultural standards of the present society. In particular, as golf gains greater popularity from the public, many golf ranges are being constructed near residential areas. However, the hitting noise generated by golf disrupt the pleasant living environment of neighboring residents to generate strong disputes related with noise. In this perspective, this study analyzed the characteristics and dispersion of sound pressure level according to the frequency of hitting noises generated in golf driving ranges and used this data to predict the range of effect through computer simulation. Thus, it is stipulated that these research results can be used as useful data for establishing effective plans in the future during civil complaints reported in relation to hitting noises in golf driving ranges.

These Days a lot of Noise Complaints in vicinity of Railway has been more increase than before. Almost 1/3 Residences who lives in Railway side are Exposure to Noise Pollution. Since the Apartment Buildings around Railway are getting more higher, so those of the Noise Barrier are not best solution anymore. We are going to make a New Plane with the state of the art technology for Railway Noise Abatement Control. Our Goal are focus on a development of Light Weight Noise Tunnel designed by new absorption mat'l and tunnel Stucture on the Overbridge and Viaduct of existing Railway. New Noise Tunnel will be reducing their weight more than 30% against Road Traffic One and also 10dB(A) Noise Reduction against Noise Barrier.

This study elvaluated clinically the surgical results of the thirty-eight patients who had exploratory thoracotomy for spontaneous pneumothorax between Jan. 1989 and Nov. 1992. Thirty three, or 86.8%, of the patients were male. The most frequent age of the spontaneous pneumothorax requiring thoracotomy was between fifteen years and twenty years. Sudden onset dyspnea and chest pain, which developed in thirty-five patients[89.5%], were the major chief complaints. Bleb and Bulla located in the both upper lobes were the most frequent causes of spontaneous pneumothorax for exploratory thoracotomy. There was no operative death. Postoperative morbidity included three cases of residual air space in the apical pleural space, tow cases of atrial fibrillation, and one each case of reoperation for bleeding, mediasitinitis, and sternal osteomyelitis. All postoperative complications were treated without any serious problems. This study suggests that early exploratory thoracotmy is desirable for patients with prolonged air-leak, massive air-leak, or multiple blebs and giant bullae on the computed tomography of the chest.

Morgagni hernia is a rare condition of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia which Is located at the anteromedial portion of the diaphragm, and is located immediately posterior to the sternum. Its cause is considered by embryologic defect and the abdominal organs are passed through a defect. The incidence is predirected women over 50 years old. Its synonym is hernia of subcostosternal, retrosternal, parasternal, rectocostoxiphoid, anterior diaphragmatic or Larrey`s. This report presents a symptomatic Morgagni hernia of ten months old male child on whom the diagnosis was established and was operated at the Busan Gospel Hospital. This patient was admitted with the chief complaints of mild cyanosis, frequent upper respiratory infections and protrusion of the right lower anterior chest. Herniorrhaphy was performed through the upper abdominal midline incision, hernial contents of the omentum and the colon, and sac as noticed from the Larrey`s space measuring 4 x 2 cm. in diameter and oval in shape. Interrupted sutures without difficulty repaired the defect. The cyanosis was disappeared and the patient had uneventful course of post-operative period. The patient was discharged at 7th. postoperative day. This case presentation with a brief review of literatures is given.

Many mediastinal masses seen radiologically are clinically asymptomatic. Only 55 to 65 percent of such lesions are asymptomatic, and of these many have only nonspecific symptoms by rupture, infection and pressure of surrounding organs. This report presents one case of a mediastinal teratoma which complicated an empyema. The patient was 7-year-old female and chief complaints were fever, left chest pain and general ache. In her past history, lung decortication and drainage procedure under the diagnosis of an empyema were carried out, 5 years ago, but she had not been improved, And so, explothoracotomy was done. At the time of operation, a mass of adult fist size was placed in the left anterior mediastinum and covered with the mediastinal pleura. Extirpation of the tumor and decortication were carried out and the left lung was remained.

Bilateral coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula is very uncommon congenital heart disease which occupy small percentage of all coronary arterio-venous fistulas. We experienced a case who was 52 years old female with bilateral coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula. She complained exertional dyspnea k angina[coronary steal syndrome]. On physical examination, any cardiac murmur was not audible. There was no 0y step-up in right heart catheterization. But selective coronary angiography revealed tortuous aberrant vessels which originated from the canal branch of the right coronary artery k the left anterior descending coronary artery. Both aberrant vessels traversed the right ventricular outflow tract, and conjoined just proximal the pulmonic annulus and drained into the main pulmonary artery. The operation was performed under the extracorporeal circulation with beating heart. The procedures were suture-ligation of the draining orifice in main pulmonary artery & the feeding vessels on the right ventricular outflow tract. Postoperatively her complaints were completely disappeared and the selective coronary angiography revealed no left-to-right shunt.

Origin of both great vessels from morphological left ventricle [DOLV] is a rare cardiac anomaly which embryologic possibility has been explained by differential conal development concept and differential canal absorption concept. Recently we had surgical experience of DOLV in 4 month-age infant weighing 5.7Kg. The chief complaints on admission were cyanosis and anoxic spell during severe crying, and right heart catheterization and right ventriculogram were performed but incorrect diagnosis was made. The operative procedures were ligation of patent ductus arteriosus, patch closure of subaortic VSD aligning aorta and pulmonary artery with left ventricle, suture closure of proximal pulmonary artery and valve and the use of extracardiac valved conduit [Carpentier-Edward l4mm] from right ventricle to distal pulmonary artery. Postoperative course was uneventful and discharged in the good condition.
