Background: We prospectively compared the response to blind and ultrasound-guided glenohumeral injection of corticosteroids for treatment of shoulder stiffness. Methods: A total of 77 patients with shoulder stiffness between April 2008 and March 2012 were recruited. Patients were randomized to receive either a blind (group 1, n=39) or ultrasound-guided (group 2, n=38) glenohumeral injection of 40 mg triamcinolone. The clinical outcomes and shoulder range of motion (ROM) before injection, at 3, 6, and 12 months after injection and at the last follow-up were assessed. The same rehabilitation program was applied in both groups during the follow-up period. Results: There was no significant difference in demographic data on age, sex, ROM, and symptom duration before injection between groups (p>0.05). There were no significant differences in ROM including forward flexion, external rotation at the side, external rotation at $90^{\circ}$ abduction, and internal rotation, visual analogue scale for pain and functional outcomes including American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Simple Shoulder test between the two groups at any time point (p>0.05). Conclusions: Based on the current data, the result of ultrasound-guided glenohumeral injection was not superior to that of blind injection in the treatment of shoulder stiffness. We suggest that ultrasound-guided glenohumeral injection could be performed according to the patient's compliance and the surgeon's preference. Once familiar with the non-imaging-guided glenohumeral injection, it is an efficient and reliable method for the experienced surgeon. Ultrasound could be performed according to the surgeon's preference.

본 연구에서는 온도 변화에 따른 실제 연료에서의 증기압 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 부탄 100%를 사용하였다. 연료공급방식은 V-6 엔진의 다점분사시스템과 동일하며 연료의 액상 가능성을 최소화하기 위하여 연료레일은 'L' 형상으로 설계하였고, 순차분사시스템을 사용하여 한 열로 작동되도록 하였다. 분사유량은 분사시간, 엔진속도, 연료공급압력에 따라서 측정되었다 또한 액상으로 분사되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 베이퍼라이져와 연료레일 온도를 변화시켜 가며 실험하였다. 그 결과 연료분사의 기본적인 특징으로 공기와 LPG분사의 상대적인 차이를 확인하였다. 하지만 냉 시동 하에서는 압력이 조금만 증가하여도 액상분사가 발생하였고, 베이퍼라이져와 연료레일 사이에서의 충분히 높은 온도가 가스분사를 하는데 매우 중요한 인자임을 확인하였다. 또한, 베이퍼라이져의 온도는 LPG를 기상으로 유지하는데 보다 중요한 역할을 했고, 연료레일의 'L' 형상은 액상분사의 억제에 기여를 하였다.

샌드위치 사출성형 공정은 기존의 사출성형 공정이 가지지 못하는 여러 장점들로 인해 최근 산업적으로 주목 받고 있는 고분자 가공 공정이다. 이 공정의 해석적인 접근은 거의 불가능하므로, 본 연구에서는 수치모사를 통해서 샌드위치 사출성형의 충전 공정을 연구하였다. 수치모사는 기본적으로 유한요소법을 사용하였고 Flow Analysis Network(FAN)/관할체적(Control Volume)법 등을 함께 이용하였다. 그리고 skin polymer의 선단을 확인할 수 있는 기존의 충전율 변수와 함께 skin polymer와 core polymer의 경계를 표시하는 새로운 충전율 변수를 도입하였고 이것을 이용하여 core polymer의 선단을 추적하였다. 새로운 충전율 변수는 두께 방향으로 온도장을 풀기 위해 나눈 각 층에서 정의되었다. 수치모사에 사용된 skin polymer와 core polymer로는 물성이 다른 두 고분자 물질을 주입시켜서 나타나는 충전 형태를 비교했다. 즉, 점도 상수, power-law 지수 등과 같은 유변 물성이 다른 두 고분자 물질을 충전시키기 위해 공정상 필요한 입구에서의 압력 등을 계산했으며 나중에 들어가게 되는 core polymer의 충전 완료 후 금형 내에서의 두께 방향과 흐름 방향으로의 분포 등을 구하였다. 또한 실제 공정 상에서 가공조건에 해당되는 switchover time과 벽 온도 등의 조건을 바꿔가면서 수치모사를 진행하였다. 사례 연구를 통하여 얻어진 물성과 가공 조건에 따른 core polymer의 충전 형태와 입구에서의 압력 등은 샌드위치 사출성형의 산업적 이용에 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

Whole bee venom (WBV) and its major component, melittin, have been reported to induce long-lasting spontaneous flinchings and hyperalgesia. The current study was designed to elucidate the peripheral and spinal mechanisms of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA receptors by which intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of WBV and melittin induced nociceptive responses. Changes in mechanical threshold and flinching behaviors were measured after the injection of WBV (0.04 mg or 0.1 mg/paw) and melittin (0.02 mg or 0.05 mg/paw) into the mid-plantar area of a rat hindpaw. MK-801 and CNQX (6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione disodium) were administered intrathecally (i.t. $10{\mu}g$) or i.pl.($15{\mu}g$) 15 min before or i.t. 60 min after i.pl. WBV and melittin injection. Intrathecal pre- and postadministration of MK-801 and CNQX significantly attenuated the ability of high dose WBV and melittin to reduce paw withdrawal threshold (PWT). In the rat injected with low dose, but not high dose, of WBV and melittin, i.pl. injection of MK-801 effectively suppressed the decrease of PWTs only at the later time-points, but the inhibitory effect of CNQX (i.pl.) was significant at all time-point after the injection of low dose melittin. High dose WBV- and melittin-induced spontaneous flinchings were significantly suppressed by i.t. administration of MK-801 and CNQX, and low dose WBV- and melittin-induced flinchings were significantly reduced only by intraplantarly administered CNQX, but not by MK-801. These experimental flinchings suggest that spinal, and partial peripheral mechanisms of NMDA and non-NMDA receptors are involved in the development and maintenance of WBV- and melittin-induced nociceptive responses.

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is regarded as an alternative fuel for spark ignition engine due to similar or even higher octane number. In addition, LPG has better fuel characteristics including high vaporization characteristic and low carbon/hydrogen ratio leading to a reduction in carbon dioxide emission. Recently, development of LPG direct injection system started to improve performance of vehicles fuelled with LPG. However, spray characteristics of LPG were not well understood, which is should be known to develop injector for LPG direct injection engines. In this study, effects of operation condition including ambient pressure, temperature, and injection pressure on spray properties of n-butane were evaluated and compared to gasoline in a multi-hole injector. As general characteristics of both fuels, spray penetration becomes smaller with an increase of ambient pressure as well as a reduction in the injection pressure. However, it is found that evaporation of n-butane was faster compared to gasoline under all experimental condition. As a result, spray penetration of n-butane was shorter than that of gasoline. This result was due to higher vapor pressure and lower boiling point of n-butane. On the other hand, spray angle of both fuels do not vary much except under high ambient temperature conditions. Furthermore, spray shape of n-butane spray becomes completely different from that of gasoline at high ambient temperature conditions due to flash boiling of n-butane.

Objective : Acupuncture is a method used to treat many kinds of pain in oriental cultural medicine. Especially when hetero-segmental area acu-points are stimulated, the therapeutic effects of pain control have more critical properties than other methods of acupuncture. However, the mechanism of pain control by acupuncture is contradictory so far. The present study examined the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) applied to the acu-point of the hetero-segmental area on modulation of formalin-induced pain in Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods : In order to apply EA to acu-points in the plantar area of right forepaws, a pair of Teflon-coated stainless steel wires were implanted in HT 7 (Shin-Moon) and PC 7 (Dae-Reung) 7 days before the behavioral test. A behavioral test was performed by means of video camera after injection of 5% formalin ($50{\;}\mu\textrm{l}$) into the lateral plantar region of the left hind paw. EA was delivered by a constant DC current stimulator at 4~5 mA, 2 ms, and 10 Hz for 30 min. c-Fos protein expression was measured in the lumbar spinal cord at 2 hr and 4 hr after formalin injection. Results : Behavioral responses including favoring, flinching and biting occurred in the biphasic pattern, such as the 1st phase (0~5 min) and the 2nd phase (20~45 min) after formalin injection. However, EA (4~5 mA, 2 ms, 10 Hz) significantly inhibited the behavioral responses. Injection of formalin expressed c-Fos protein on the ipsilateral dorsal horn neurons in L3 - L5 and the expression was sustained more than 4 hrs after formalin injection. However, EA decreased c-Fos protein expression at dorsal horn neurons in the lumbar spinal cord till 4hrs after formalin injection. Conclusions : These results suggest that EA modulates formalin-induced pain and this inhibitory action may be elicited by the descending inhibitory system.
