Markolf and Morris suggests that the deranged disk and torn annulus have an exellent recovery ability from the position of spine extension, where the posterior annulus is not under stress and the gel can move anterioly. McKenzie explains side gliding as a combination of rotation and side bending, his clinical studies indicate that side-gliding can gel laterally. In conclusion, the prone unilateral traction on the opposite side from the patient's pain along with the other treatment appered to have helped reduce those patient's pain. The method of treatment described in this report is suggested for Korean physical therapists who treat patients suspected of posterolateral herniated nucleus pulposus.

Background: Tobacco use is a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality from non-communicable diseases. The objectives of the study were to determine the percentage of annual income used to purchase tobacco-related products and treat tobacco-related illnesses, and assess the characteristics of smokers and their awareness of the health-related risks of smoking. Method: Stratified and snowball sampling methods were used to obtain information (via a 17-item, close-ended questionnaire) from 85 adult respondents (49 males and 36 females). The instrument comprised of demographic characteristics, smoking behavioural/lifestyle, health, and micro socio-economics. Results: There were no significant differences between individuals who were affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) (14.1%) and cardiovascular disease (18.8%). It was found that respondents spend 30-39% of their annual income on tobacco-related products. Forty percent (40.0%) and 41.7% of respondents with lung cancer and COPD respectively spend more than 50% of their annual income to treat these diseases. The majority (80%) of those who continues to consume tobacco-related products were uncertain as to why they were doing it. Not all the smokers were aware of the dangers of tobacco consumption despite their level of education. Conclusion: The majority of the respondents who had tobacco-related illnesses such as lung cancer and COPD spend a significant amount of their income on their health care. Not all the smokers were aware of the dangers of tobacco consumption despite their level of education. This suggests the need for increase public awareness where both smokers and non smokers are being fully or adequately informed about the dangers or health risks of tobacco consumption.

본 연구에서는 나노구조의 새로운 망간산화물 입자(즉, 블랙-버네사이트)를 합성하여 물질특성 및 1,4-naphthoquinone (1,4-NPQ)을 대상으로 반응매개체 존재 하에서의 산화-변환반응 효율을 조사하였고, 그 결과를 기존의 McKenzie 방법으로 얻은 망간산화물(즉, 브라운-버네사이트)의 결과와 비교 분석하였다. XRD 분석 결과 합성한 망간산화물 입자의 결정상은 버네사이트(${\delta}-MnO_2$)임을 확인하였으며, SEM 측정결과 입자표면은 섬유상의 구조에 의한 나노크기의 미세기공을 가진 볼모양(ball-like)의 형태를 보였다. 배치실험 결과, 나노구조의 망간산화물에 의한 1,4-NPQ 제거는 유사-1차 반응을 따랐으며 기존 망간산화물과 비교해 BET 비표면적 값이 작음(41.05 vs 19.80 $m^2/g$)에도 불구하고 약 2.3배의 높은 속도 상수값을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 블랙-버네사이트에서의 상대적으로 높은 결정성과 나노구조의 표면 특성에 기인한 것으로 해석되며, 블랙-버네사이트 입자가 퀴논화합물에 대하여 상대적으로 높은 반응성을 보임을 알 수 있다. 반응산물에 대한 HPLC 크로마토그램 분석 결과로부터 블랙 버네사이트 입자에 의한 1,4-NPQ의 제거는 반응 매개체인 catechol 존재 하에서의 상호-결합반응을 통한 중합체 생성을 통해 제거됨을 확인하였다.

In order to study the role of LATS in the pathogenesis of the Graves' disease, the serum activity of the LATS was determined by the bioassay of the modified McKenzie method. The subjects examined in the study consisted of 76 individuals including 12 cases of normal control, 54 cases with typical Graves' disease and 10 cases of chronic thyroiditis. The data observed in the patients with the Graves' disease were analyzed in comparison with the clinical features, laboratory findings, and responsiveness to the treatment. The results obtained are as follows: 1. None of the subjects which did not have the Graves' disease showed a positive LATS activity, except one case with the chronic thyroiditis. 2. Twenty-two out of the 54 cases with the Graves' disease showed positive results for LATS(40.7%). The positivity was significantly higher in the patients who had been treated with anti. thyroid regimen but still showed hyperthyroidism than in the patients who had not been treated. 3. The activity of LATS was gradually decreased or even became absent as the hyperthyroidism was corrected after the treatment. 4. No significant difference was noticed in age & sex between the positive and negative groups of LATS. 5. There was no evidence of significant correlation between the LATS activity and clinical features.

본 연구에서는 폐 알칼리망간전지 분말(spent alkaline manganese battery powder, SABP <8 mesh)의 산 침출액으로부터 분리한 망간이온을 이용하여 산화-중합반응 촉매인 버네사이트를 제조하였고, 1-naphthol (1-NP)을 대상으로 페놀계 화합물의 제거 반응성을 조사하였다. 망간산화물의 결정상과 반응성은 순수 망간시약($MnSO_4$, $MnCl_2$)을 사용하여 합성한 망간산화물(manganese oxide, MOs) 및 기존의 McKenzie 합성방법에 의한 Acid birnessite (A-Bir)의 결과와도 비교 평가하였다. SABP에 존재하는 망간과 아연이온은 과산화수소 존재 하에서의 황산 침출($1.0M\;H_2SO_4+10.5%\;H_2O_2$, solid/liquid (S/L)비=1/10 g/mL, $60^{\circ}C$)을 통해 각각 약 96%와 98% 회수하였다. 산 침출액으로부터 망간이온은 수산화물(NaOH) 침전을 통해 pH 8과 pH>13 조건에서 각각 69.0%와 94.3% 분리하였다. 1-NP 제거능을 토대로 SABP 산 침출액으로부터 알칼리(NaOH) 수열합성법에 의한 망간산화물의 제조를 위한 적정 OH/Mn 혼합비(M/M)는 6.0이었고, XRD 분석을 통해 버네사이트(${\delta}-MnO_2$) 결정상을 가짐을 확인하였다. pH 8 (${Mn^{2+}}_{(aq)}$)과 pH>13 ($Mn(OH)_{2(s)}$)에서 회수한 망간을 사용하여 얻은 망간산화물의 1-NP 제거 반응속도(k, at pH 6)는 각각 0.112, $0106min^{-1}$으로서 $MnSO_4$ 시약을 사용하여 얻은 망간산화물의 결과($0.117min^{-1}$)와 유사하였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 폐 알칼리망간전지 분말로부터 얻은 버네사이트는 미량 유해물질 제거를 위한 산화-중합 반응 촉매로 활용 가능함을 알 수 있었으며, 버네사이트 제조를 위한 폐 알칼리망간전지의 재활용 흐름도를 제시하였다.
