2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin(TCDD) a prototype of many halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, is a ubiquitous, persistent environmental contaminant and the most powerful carcinogen categorized by IARC. Despite extensive research, the mechanisms of TCDD-induced carcinogenesis are poorly understood.(omitted)

Violent or severe persistent coughing is rarely associated with rib fracture. We report a rare case of a cough-induced rib fracture in a patient without any traumatic history or any other underlying disease. A 32-year-old female presented to the emergency department complaining of having had right-sided pleuritic chest pain for 5 days. She had a background of an 8-week coughing illness. A posteroanterior view of the chest radiograph showed no definite fractured line. Chest computed tomography revealed a subtle break cortical line of the 7th rib in the right-sided chest wall. Early identification of a cough-induced fracture of the rib by using computed tomography may avoid unnecessary further work-ups including laboratory examination and may lead to appropriate discharge instructions including rest and reassurance. The clinical presentations and radiologic findings of rib fractures caused by coughing are presented along with a review of the literature.

This paper presents automatic reentry of a deepsea reser by adaptive control. Reentry is one of the major pro blems regarding a deepsea riser. In the reentry operation, the lower end of riser must be accurately positioned over the tarket point on the seabed. But the deepsea riser shows complex elastic response due to flexibility and nonlinearity of the riser dynamics and the required positioning accuracy is high. Moreover, elastic deformation must by controlled for securing structural integrity. In adaptive control, uncertainly known parameters like added mass and drag coefficient in the riser dynamics are identified and control forces at the floating body and the riser are calculated simultaneously. An Adaptive algorithm for MIMO linear discrete time system without requiring a persistent excitation is adopted in this study. The effectiveness of adaptive control logic is tested by numerical simulation and model experiment. The designed control system shows good overall performances, so that the present study can be applied to the control of the deepsea riser.

Nursing's traditional concern for human well being includes concern for health promotion. Until recently textbooks of preventive medicine, public health and community health nursing have defined health prevention- the prevention of disease and health protection or maintenace, but not health promotion. Lack of clear definitions inhibit effective communication among health related disciplines. Therefore, this studys task was the analysis and definition of the concept of health promotion using Walker & Avant's concept analysis methodology. This characteristics of the concept of health promotion are 1) orientation toward well - being, 2) empowering, 3) subjectivity, 4) change and 5) expanded connecteness. Antecedent of health promotion are 1) attaining of a healthy state, 2) having purpose and will to act, 3) persistent and realistic behaviour. The consequences of health promotion are 1) prolonged life, 2) self-actualizing potential, 3) increased well-being and a high level quality of life. The future direction of health promotion research should include that identification of the differences in the definition of between health professionals and health clients and research related to nursing theory of health promotion.

We report a new PCNB-degrading strain (PCNB-2) that is able to utilize and grow on PCNB (100 ppm) as a sole carbon source. This strain was identified as Alcaligenes xylosoxidans based upon 16S rDNA sequence analysis, API 20 NE tests and cell membrane lipid analysis. The new PCNB degrader Alcaligenes xylosoxidans PCNB-2 could find use in bioremediation of PCNB, which is environmentally persistent.

최근의 사이버 침해 사고는 공격 대상을 지정하여 지속적으로 공격을 시도하는 APT(Advanced Persistent Threat)와 랜섬웨어(Ransomware) 공격이 주를 이룬다. APT 공격은 dirve by download 를 통하여 의도하지 않은 파일의 다운로드를 유도하고, 다운로드 된 파일은 역통신채널을 만들어 내부 데이터를 외부로 유출하는 방식으로 공격에 사용되는 악성 파일이 사용자 모르게 다운로드 되어 실행된다. 랜섬웨어는 스피어 피싱 (Spear-phishing) 과 같은 사회공학기법을 이용하여 신뢰 된 출처로 유장 된 파일을 실행하도록 하여 주요 파일들을 암호화 한다. 때문에 사용자와 공격자 사이 네트워크 중간에 위치한 패킷 기반의 보안 장비들은 사용자에 의해 다운로드 되는 파일들을 선제적으로 식별하고, 차단하여 침해 확산을 방지 할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 네트워크 패킷 레벨에서 알려진 악성파일을 식별하고 실시간 차단하는 방안에 대하여 연구하고자 한다.

Amid the worldwide increase in spinal surgery rates, a significant proportion of patients continue to experience refractory chronic pain, resulting in reduced quality of life and escalated healthcare demands. Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) is a clinical condition characterized by persistent or recurrent pain after one or more spinal surgeries. The diverse characteristics and stigmatizing descriptions of FBSS necessitate a reevaluation of its nomenclature to reflect its complexity more accurately. Accurate identification of the cause of FBSS is hampered by the complex nature of the syndrome and limitations of current diagnostic labels. Management requires a multidisciplinary approach that may include pharmacological treatment, physical therapy, psychological support, and interventional procedures, emphasizing realistic goal-setting and patient education. Further research is needed to increase our understanding, improve diagnostic accuracy, and develop more effective management strategies.

In order to investigate the possibility of the microbial degradation of the persistent pollutant 3, 3', 4, 4'-tetrachloroazobenzene (TCAB) in our environment, four strains of microorganisms were isolated from industrial wastes by the enrichment technique. They were identified as Achromobacter group VD, Pseudomonas alcaligenes, Moraxella spp., and Alcaligenes faecalis, respectively. These microorganisms utilized TCAB as a sole carbon source in the $MM_2$ salt medium.

Objectives : We performed a clinical study to investigate characteristics of pattern identifications using nasal endoscopy for allergic rhinitis (AR). Methods : We assessed 32 patients with allergic rhinitis using nasal endoscopy, classifications of allergic rhinitis and it's impact on asthma (ARIA) and total nasal symptom score (TNSS). Results : The watery rhinorrhea score of nasal endoscopy was significantly high in 'persistent and moderate/severe' group (P<0.05). Patients were classified as rhinorrhea group and nasal obstruction group according to nasal endoscopy. TNSS and rhinorrhea score was significantly high in rhinorrhea group (P<0.05). Conclusions : The result may provide that the watery rhinorrhea of nasal endoscopy is useful as 'Cold' and 'Deficiency' pattern identification diagnostic tool.
