During a full-thickness skin graft procedure, the thickness of the harvested donor skin is adjusted based on the location of the recipient site and the judgment of the surgeon. Conventionally, the thickness of the harvested skin is roughly adjusted using surgical instruments such as scalpels and scissors. However, this method is not only time-consuming, but also requires effort to obtain both the desired thickness of the harvested skin and a smooth surface of that skin. Moreover, there is a possibility of skin perforation. Hence, the authors devised a method of adjusting harvested skin thickness using the Versajet Hydrosurgery System. The Versajet device is a handheld hydrosurgical tool that delivers a high-speed jet stream of saline solution, which enables the precise debridement of tissue. This method makes it easier and faster for the surgeon to obtain the desired thickness of harvested skin. In addition, by obtaining a smooth surface and an even thickness of harvested donor skin, this technique may lead to improved graft viability.

목적 : 6 MV x-선의 선형가속기를 이용하여 두경부종양환자를 치료시에 피부표면의 종양에 균일한 선량을 부여하기 위하여 조직등가물질로 산란판을 제작하여 산란판의 두께와 위치에 따라 조직의 표면선량과 최대선량지 점을 측정하였다. 방법 : 조직등가물질인 폴리스틸렌으로 산란판을 제작하여 가속기의 콜리메터와 피부사이에 부착하여 조사면, 산란판의 두께 및 피부와의 간격에 따라 피부표면 선량과 최대선량지점을 측정하여 측정결과는 최대선량 대 표면선량비(BUR-1)로 표시하였으며 불균등 표면보상에 사용하는 조직등가 볼러스에 의한 선량분포변화를 측정하여 산란판과 비교하였다. 결과 : 6 MV x-선 선형가속기와 피부사이에 산란판을 설치하여 피부선량이 증가되었으며 산란판의 위치에 따라 피부선량이 변화되었고 최대선량지점은 피부표면쪽으로 이동하였다. 최대 선량지점은 피부하 1.5 cm 깊이에서 최대선량이 투여되고 피부쪽으로 선량이 급속히 감소되어 1cm 두께의 산란판을 사용한 경우 피부간의 거리가 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 cm로 증가하였을때 최대선량지점은 피부표면으로 부터 5, 10.2, 12.3, 13.9, 14.8 mm로 증가되었다. 결론 : 6 MV x-선을 이용하여 두경부종양을 치료할 경우 산란판을 이용하여 이차산란전자를 피부표면 앞에서 발생시킴으로써 피부의 선량이 증가되어 최대선량지점은 피부표면으로 이동 시킴으로써 종양부위에 균일한 선량을 부여시킬 수 있었다.

The aim of this study was to develop a composite human skin equivalent for wound healing. Collagen type1 and acellular dermal matrix powder were utilized as the scaffold with dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes for the development of a composite human skin equivalent. Fibroblast maintained the volume of composite skin equivalent and also induced keratinocytes to attach and proliferate on the surface of composite skin equivalent. The composite human skin equivalent had a structure and curvature similar to those of real skin. Balb-C nu/nu mice were used for the evaluation of full-thickness wound healing effect of the composite human skin equivalent. Graft of composite skin equivalent on full-thickness wound promoted re-epithelialization and granulation tissue formation at 9 days. Given the average wound-healing time (14 days), the wound in the developed composite skin equivalent healed quickly. The overall results indicated that this three-dimensional composite human skin equivalent can be used to effectively enhance wound healing.

A skin tissue system is considered, whose configuration is electrically modelled by a layer over the infinite half space. The problem is to estimate the layer\`s thickness and respective conductivity from the measured impedance between the electrodes placed on the skin surface. A simulation is taken place as the optimization problem which is to minimize the norm between the \"measured\" and the solution for the assumed parameters.arameters.

Skin replacement in large cheek defects after excision of benign or malignant tumor on the face is a challenging task. The physical characteristics of cheek skin are matched best by adjacent skin. Various methods of reconstructing of the facial surface such as forehead flap, distant flap, or a full thickness or split thickness skin graft have replaced adjacent tissue for coverage in many cases. We have reviewed ten cases of aesthetic reconstruction of the face after resection of the facial skin tumor within the last 5 years. The first group of 3 patients were reconstructed with split thickness skin graft from the scalp or lower abdomen. The second group of patients were reconstructed with cheek flap. The third group of 3 patients were reconstructed with cervicofacial flap. The last 2 patients were reconstructed with nasolabial flap & island falp respectively. The advantages from our experience with various method of coverage are its hidden donor area & good color match with the facial skin & increased success rate.

This paper discussed micro - structure of skin concrete to understand transport properties from surface and seek thickness from surface which is seriously influenced on durability. Concrete at nearer surface has high porosity relative to inner concrete. The porosity of concrete and ISAT value at region from surface to 20 mm depth is decreased with depth. On the other hand, according to the result of ASTM C 1202 with specimen thickness, critical depth which affects fast ionic penetration through interfacial transition zone (ITZ) equals 35mm and the critical depth would be directly influenced by the effects of ITZ on chloride diffusion unrelated with W/C ratio.

A pressure sensor in pulse measurement system is a core component for precisely measuring the pulse waveform of radial artery. A pulse sensor signal that measures the pulse wave in contact with the skin is affected by the temperature difference between the ambient temperature and skin surface. In this study, we found experimentally that the signal changes of the pressure sensors and a temperature sensor were caused by the temperature of the wrist surface while the pressure sensor was contacted on the skin surface for measuring pulse wave. To observe the signal change of the pulse sensor caused by temperature increase on sensor surface, Peltier device that can be kept at a set temperature was used. As the temperature of Peltier device was kept at $35^{\circ}C$ (the maximum wrist temperature), the device was put on the pulse sensor surface. The temperature and pressure signals were obtained simultaneously from a temperature sensor and six pressure sensors embedded in the pulse sensor. As a result of signal analysis, the sensor pressure was decreased during temperature increase of pulse sensor surface. In addition, the signal difference ratio of pressure and temperature sensors with respect to thickness of cover layer in pulse sensor was increased exponentially. Therefore, the signal of pressure sensor was modified by the compensation equation derived by the temperature sensor signal. We suggested that the thickness of cover layer in pulse sensor should be designed considering the skin surface temperature.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of Polygonum tinctoria Niram (PTN) on atopic dermatitis (AD) in BALB/c mice induced by 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). They were divided into four groups; Control, DNCB, DNCB+1%PTN (1% PTN extract) and DNCB+5%PTN (5% PTN extract), for evaluating the change of appearance of skin surface, skin hydration, thickness of epidermis and mast cell numbers during 4 weeks. PTN suppressed symptoms of AD in appearance of skin and increased skin hydration for DNCB+1%PTN and DNCB+5%PTN. Treatment with PTN significantly decreased the levels of eosinophils. In histopathological examination, DNCB+1%PTN and DNCB+5%PTN significantly reduced the thickness of epidermis and number of mast cell in dermis. These results suggested that the PTN improved symptoms of AD in BALB/c mice.

The oriental ore minerals, which mainly consisted of talc, actinolite, sericite, and halloysite were developed, and then used to examine the healing effect on the skin wound in rats. Full-thickness square wounds were formed on the backs of rats after the hairs on the dorsal surface were shaved. The ore minerals were applied to examine the healing effect from day 0 to 15 after wounding. Notable wound healings in terms of congestion around the wound, wound contraction and epithelialization were found in ore mineral-treated groups. Moreover, microscopic results revealed the formation of epithelial layer, hair follicles and progressive angiogenesis in ore mineral-treated groups, while complete epithelial layer could not be found in the control. These results suggest that ore minerals from Korean indigenous ores may have wound healing effect on the skin injury in rats.

아르곤(Ar) 플라즈마 처리된 폴리프로필렌 복합소재의 표면 개질 및 특성 변화를 X-선 광전자 분광 분석(XPS), 적외선 분광 분석(FTIR), 주사 전자 현미경 분석(SEM) 및 접촉각 측정 등을 이용하여 조사하였다. Ar 플라즈마 처리 시간의 증가는 폴리프로필렌 복합소재 표면의 젖음성, 극성 관능기를 갖는 산소 성분, 탈크 함량 및 표면조도의 증가를 초래하였다. 주사 전자 현미경 분석을 통한 자세한 관찰은 폴리프로필렌 성분으로 구성된 표면층(skin layer)이 존재함을 확인하였다. 폴리프로필렌과 고무 입자간의 점도차는 표면층의 생성을 촉진시켰다. 하지만 Ar 플라즈마 처리시간의 증가는 표면층의 두께를 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다. 사출성형 공정 동안, 표면층을 제거할 수 있는 추가적인 방법론에 대해서도 토의하였다. Ar 플라즈마 처리에 의한 표면 개질 및 모폴로지의 변화는 폴리프로필렌 복합소재 표면 상에 친수화 상태를 부여하고, 이에 따라 젖음성 향상을 유도하였다.
