The effect of subcutanecus injection of Corynebacterium parvum($700{\mu}g$) on cellular and humoral immune responses when given at various time relative to sheep red blood cell(SRBC) sensitization were studied by the evaluation of Arthus, delayed-type hypersensitivity(DTH), rosette forming cell, hemagglutinin and hemolysin reactions. Arthus reactivity(3 hours) developed in control mice and test mice pretreated with C. parvum 8 days prior to intravenous sensitization with SRBC were similar. However, there was slight depression of reactivity when C. parvum was given subcutaneoutly(s.c.) 4 or 2 days prior to SRBC sensitization. Arthus reactivity was significantly depressed when C. parvum was given s.c. either at the same time as, or 2 days later than, antigen. DTH reaction was net depressed significantly when C. parvum was injected 8 or 2 days prior to SRBC sensitization or at the same time as antigen. In contrast DTH was significantly augmented when C. parvum given s.c. 4 days prier to SRBC sensitization. DTH was depressed when C. parvum was given s.c. 2 days after antigen. No significant change occurred in rosette forming percetages of spleen cell when C. parvum was given s.c. 8, 4 or 2 days before SRBC sensitization. In contrast, a significant reduction in percentages of rosette forming cell occurred when C. parvum was given s.c. either at the same time as, or 2 days later than, antigen. Serum hemaggulutinin and hemolysin titers were not significantly affected by subcutaneous injection of C. parvum regardless of time relative to SRBC sensitization. However, mercaptoethanol-resistant hemaggulutinin and hemolysin(IgG) titers were somewhat augmented when C. parvum was given 2 days after antigen. It is concluded from these results that depending on the time and route of inoculation, C. parvum can enhance or depress immune responses in mice, suggesting the time and route of C. parvum inoculation is an important point of concern about clinical use of C. parvum for the treatment of cancer.

발전소 효율증대로 인해 610℃까지 높아진 증기온도는 보일러 튜브의 내구성을 저하시키고 있으며 여기에 저열량탄 사용증가로 후부연소 및 지연연소 현상이 가중됨에 따라 최종재열기의 과열과 튜브 파열사고가 빈번해지고 있다. 최종 재열기 과열을 방지하고자 과열저감수 주입량이 늘어났으며 이는 보일러 효율저하로 이어지고 있다. 그동안 보일러 튜브온도를 전체가 아닌 튜브 개별적으로 제어하기 위한 노력이 계속되어 왔지만 성공사례가 알려진 바가 없다. 이번 연구에서는 과열된 일부 튜브그룹에 다공판을 설치하여 가스흐름에 저항을 줌으로써 연소가스량을 저감시켜 튜브의 온도를 낮추고 저감된 연소가스는 인접한 곳으로 이동하여 다른 튜브의 온도를 높이는 것이다. 연구결과 튜브간 온도편차가 1.5℃ 감소하였고 과열저감수 주입량이 6,929 kg/h 감소하였으며 튜브 최고온도를 623.4℃까지 경감하였다. 이는 관리기준온도인 630℃에 6.6℃ 여유가 있는 수치이다.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of external vibrating devices and counterstimulation on a child's dental anxiety, apprehension, and pain perception during local anesthetic administration. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, parallel-arm, single-blinded interventional, clinical trial. One hundred children aged 4-11 years, requiring pulp therapy or extraction under local anesthesia (LA), were recruited and allocated equally into two groups (1:1) based on the interventions used: Group BD (n = 50) received vibration using a Buzzy^® device {MMJ Labs, Atlanta, GE, USA} as a behavior guidance technique; Group CS (n = 50) received counterstimulation for the same technique. Anxiety levels [Venham's Clinical Anxiety Rating Scale (VCARS), Venham Picture Test (VPT), Pulse oximeter {Gibson, Fingertip Pulse Oximeter}, Beijing, China)] were assessed before, during, and after LA administration, while pain perception [Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale (WBFPS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)] was evaluated immediately after injection. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t-test to assess the mean difference between the two groups and the repeated measures ANOVA for testing the mean difference in the pulse rates. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: Significant differences in mean pulse rate values were observed in both groups. In contrast, the children in the BD group had higher diminution (P < 0.05), whereas the mean VCARS and VPT scores were conspicuous (P < 0.05). Based on the mean WBFPS and VAS scores, delayed pain perception after LA injection was more prominent in the BD group than in the CS group. Conclusion: External vibration using a Buzzy^® device is comparatively better than counterstimulation in alleviating needle-associated anxiety in children requiring extraction and pulpectomy.

목적: $^{18}$F-FDG PET/CT는 다양한 장관내 악성 종양을 발견하는데 높은 민감도를 보이고 있다. 하지만 $^{18}$F-FDG가 다양한 형태로 장관 내 생리적, 병리적 섭취증가를 보이기 때문에 그 특이도는 낮다. 이 연구는 장관 내 국소적인 $^{18}$F-FDG 섭취증가를 보일 때 생리적 섭취와 병리적 섭취를 감별하는 데 있어 추가 지연(dual time point) $^{18}$F-FDG PET/CT의 임상적 유용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2007년 1월부터 2008년 6월까지 장관 내 국소적인 섭취증가를 보여 추가 지연 촬영 $^{18}$F-FDG PET/CT를 실시한 132명(남:여=77:55, 나이 62.8$\pm$11.6세)을 대상으로 하였다. $^{18}$F-FDG 정맥 주사 후 50-60분 후에 조기 영상을 촬영하였고, 정맥 주사 후 4-5시간에 국소 섭취 증가 부위를 포함하고 있는 복부 부위에 대해 추가 지연 촬영을 실시하였다. 초기 영상에서 보였던 국소적 섭취가 지연 영상에서 보이지 않거나 이동하였을 경우에는 생리적 섭취증가로 간주하였고, 지연 영상에서 지속적으로 관찰되는 섭취증가에 대해서는 대장내시경과 병리조직 검사를 실시하였다. 지연 영상에서 지속적으로 관찰되는 장관 내 섭취에 대해서는 각각 Suvmax값과 조기 영상과 지연 영상의 Syvmax값의 차이($\Delta$%Suvmax)를 계산하였다. 결과: 132명의 환자에서 153개의 국소적 섭취증가병소를 관찰할 수 있었다. 이 중 72개 병소에서는 지연 영상에서 섭취 증가가 사라져 생리적 섭취로 판단할 수 있었다. 조기 영상에서만 보였던 생리적 섭취는 맹장을 포함한 오름 결장에서 가장 많이 관찰되었다. 지연 영상에서도 지속적으로 섭취증가를 보인 81개 병소에서 61개는 악성 종양으로 확진되었고, 14개는 양성 질환으로 확인 되었다. 나머지 6개의 병소는 대장내시경에서 특이소견을 보이지 않아 생리적 섭취로 확인되었다. 악성 종양은 $\Delta$%Suvmax가 20.8%$\pm$18.7%로 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였고, 반대로 리 악성에서는 3.7%$\pm$24.2%로 감소하였다. 가장 유용한 진단적 가치를 주는 요소는 $\Delta$%Suvmax 임을 확인하였고, 악성과 비악성 질환을 감별하는데 임계수를 -5%로 정하였을 때 가장 좋은 민감도, 특이도, 정확도를 보였다. 결론: $^{18}$F-FDG PET/CT를 이용한 추가 지연 촬영은 생리적 섭취와 병리적 섭취를 감별하는데 있어 검사의 특이도를 높이고 불필요한 검사를 줄일 수 있는 유용한 비침습적 방법으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 기존에 중유를 사용하는 상용보일러에서 오리멀젼 연료의 활용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 소형 보일러에서 오리멀젼 연료의 기본적인 연소특성을 실험과 더불어 수치해석하였다. 오리멀젼의 주요 연소특성은 최고 화염온도가 버너로부터 $20{\sim}30\;cm 뒤쪽에 나타나는 화염지연현상과 비교적 넓게 분포하는 화염의 형태로 이는 오리멀젼 제조과정에서 포함된 높은 수분함량과 미세한 수부액적으로 이한 미소폭발 현상에 기인한다. 오리멀젼 연료의 연소특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 연료공급량, 무화유체의 종류, 그리고 계산에 사용된 현상학적인 복사모델과 같은 중요한 설계 및 운전인자에 대한 일련의 변수연구를 수행하였다. 연소특성인 최고 화염온도 지연현상은 연료공급 속도를 조절함으로써 어느 정도 저감시킬 수 있었으며 연소생성물로 CO와 $SO_2$ 그리고 NO가스의 연소로 내 발생특성을 평가하였다. 또한 무화용 유체로 증기를 사용하였을 경우 로내 연소상태는 무화용 공기에 비해 안정화 되고 고온영역이 감소되는 결과를 보였다. 일반적으로 본 연구에서 수행한 실험조건에 대한 수치해석 결과는 물리적으로 일관성 있는 결과를 제시하였으나 오염물질 생성농도에 대한 보다 정확한 예측을 위해서는 추후 현상학적인 모델개선을 필요로 한다. 결국 본 연구로부터 개발된 컴퓨터 프로그램은 기존의 상용화 중유 보일러에서 오리멀젼 연료로 대체 사용시 개선사항 및 유용한 운전 자료를 제공할 것으로 판단된다.

Background and Purpose : Now, a lot of people are suffering from arthritis of knee joint. Western and oriental medicine, all of them are trying various methods to cure this disease, but generally the grade or level of repairing has been decided by the subjective estimation of the patients and doctors. So, we suggest the new standard for estimating the level of repair in this disease using nuclear medicine. Objective : To evalute the difference of the blood pool and delayed images in the correlation with clinical symptoms in patients with arthritis of knee joint by using acupuncture. Methods : Eight patients with arthritis of knee joint included in this study. Using Thermograph (D.I.T.I) and Radionuclide, we obtained the results. In Bone scan Tc-99m MDP, and MIBI scan was obtained at 1 minute and 3 hour after injection of 1,110 MBq Tc-99m MDP and MIBI. The analysis was carried out hurted area of joint. The Joint-to-background(J/B) ratios were obtained exclusively in the joints regions. Clinical symptoms were evaluated as pain and swelling graded from 0(no) to 5(severe) in the same joints, respectively. Results : J/B ratios on the delayed scans were higher than those on blood pool images. There was significant correlation between clinical symptoms and J/B on blood pool image in the joints =0.03). Conclusion : The results demonstrate that blood pool images of Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy correlates with clinical symptoms more than delayed images in patients with arthritis Joint.

Aclarubicin(ACL)-entrapped freeze dried liposomes were prepared using Microfludizer to attain a sustained release at targeted organs in a prolonged time so that it can reduce th e side effect and maximize the therapeutic effect. The freeze-dried liposomes were evaluated for pharmacokinetics, antitumor activity against Sarcoma 180, cytotoxicity against L1210 and A549 tumor cells, spleen toxicity and myelosuppressive action. The AUC0->8hr values were 122+/-42, 382+/-140, 419+/-171, 835+/-206 and 443+/-309mcg min/ml for free ACL. ACL-liposome formulation I, II, III and IV, respectively. Cytotoidcity of ACL-entrapped liposomes against L1210 and A549 tumor cells was 2-4 times higher than that of free aclarubicin. ACL-liposome formulation I(PC/CHOL/TA) showed the most potent antitumor activity against Sarcoma 180 in mice. The loss of body weight was much smaller with ACL-entrapped liposomes than free ACL after I.p. injection at a dose of 2 mg/kg/day. Compared to free ACL, ACL-entrapped liposomes expressed a lower and delayed spleen toxicity up to 5th day after I.v. administration. Myelosupperssion seemed to be lower with ACL-entrapped liposome of PC/PC-hydrate/CHOL/TA (formulation III) than free aclarubicin.

In order to study the effects of administration of neomycin on the kidney of Korean black goats, 4.5(group A), 9(group B) or 14(group C) mg/kg, body weight of neomycin was injected intramuscularly turice a day for 84 days. On day 31, unilateral nephreotomy was performed in one animal of each group. The results were as follows: Serum neomycin concentrations were 8.7, 13.8, and 20.2 ${\mu}$g/ml 12 hours after injection. Serum BUN and creatinine concentration in nephreotomized goats, regardless of dosage, rapidly increased and came to peak on 3 days after, and then began to decrease to normal range, gradually, In non-nephrectomized goats, regardless of dosage, there was no notable change. In nephreotomized goats, PSP Tl/2 was delayed to the utmost 1 day after nephrectomy, regard-less of dosage, and then began to decrease to normal range, gradually in non-nephrectomized goats, there was not notable change in PSP T$\frac{1}{2}$. The intact kidney was markedly enlarged compared with the kidney of non-nephrectomized goats, but there was no microscopic change. It is concluded that administration of neomycin up to 14mg/kg body weight twice a day for 84 days was not nephrotoxic to the Korean black goats.

The breakup processes and spray plume characteristics of liquid jets injected in subsonic air cross-flows were experimentally studied. The behaviors of column, penetration, breakup of plain liquid jet and droplet sizes, velocities have been studied in non-swirling cross-flow of air. Nozzle has a 1.0 mm diameter and Lid ratio=5. Experimental results indicate that the breakup point is delayed by increasing air momentum, the penetration decreases by increasing Weber number and the split angle is increased by increasing air velocity or decreasing injection velocity. SMD increases according as increasing height or decreases in accordance with increasing air velocity. This phenomenon is related to the momentum exchange between column waves and cross-flow stream. Droplet vector velocities were varied from 11.5 to 33 m/s. A higher-velocity region can be identified in down edge region at Z/d=40, 70 and 100. Lower-velocity region were observed on bottom position of the spray plume.
