The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a topical 0.2% hyaluronic acid (HA) preparation in the management of wound after removal of arch bar for facial bone fracture and a suture site after orthognatic, oral cancer or oral surgery. Forty patients participated in a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind trial to evaluate the efficacy of the topical HA and preparation. HA topically applied to the wound after removal of arch bar or stitch out, 3 times a day for 4 weeks. Evaluation is performed once a week for 4 weeks. For subjective evaluation, relative pain reduction in visual analog scale (VAS) and existence of heat sensation was accessed. For objective evaluation, gross evaluation, papilla index, existence of wound dehiscence, redness and swelling was checked. The same evaluation was performed in each arch bar group and suture group. For whole subject, 0.2% HA group resulted higher reduction than placebo group in pain of site in first week with significancy. Same findings were seen other weeks but there was no significancy. 0.2% HA group had better result than placebo in objective evaluation (papilla index, wound dehiscence, redness and swelling), but in gross evaluation placebo had better result than 0.2% HA group with no significancy. Subject was divided into suture group and arch bar group. Same aspect was seen, but only suture group had significancy not arch bar group in pain reduction score. 0.2% HA group resulted higher reduction than placebo group in pain of site in first week with significancy, especially in suture group. It reveals topical application of HA in wound especially suture site reduced pain in early stage. And 0.2% HA group had better result than placebo in papilla index, redness and swelling with no statistical significancy. In conclusion, HA has effect of pain reduction and healing promotion in the mucosal wound after oral surgery.

감자 전분을 epichlorohydrin과 반응시적 제조한 가교결합 감자 전분(가교파도 2,300, 2,100, 1,900 AGU/CL)의 호화 특성과 호화 중 전분 입자의 형태학적 변화를 조사하였다. 천연 감자 전분은 한 단계의 급격한 팽윤 양상을 보이나, 동부 전분은 두 단계, 가교결합 전분은 가교화도에 따라 각각 다른 평윤 양상을 나타내었다. 가교화도가 증가할수록 팽윤력과 용해도는 입자의 팽윤이 억제되어 크게 감소하였다. 광투과도는 가교파도가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 가교결합 전분 입자의 팽윤이 동부 전분에 비해 억제되었음에도 불구하고 $55{\sim}95^{\circ}C$ 온도 법위와 2.5%까지 의 농도 범위에서는 동부 전분보다 더 투병하였다. 아밀로그래프에 의한 초기 호화온도는 가교화도가 증가할수록 입자의 팽윤이 지연되어 올라갔으며, 최고점도에 도달하는 시간이 매우 지인되었다 가교화도 2,300과 2,100 AGU/CL 가교 전분은 어느정도 팽윤이 억제되며 동시에 팽윤된 전분 입자가 내열성과 내전단성을 갖게되어 서서히 점도가 증가하여 천연 감자 전분보다 더 높은 최고 점도에 도달하는 반면에, 1.900AGU/CL 가교 번분은 너무 강하게 팽윤이 억제되어 최고 점도를 나타내지 못하였다. 또한 가교 결합 전분의 setback과 consistency 정도는 천연 감자 전분과는 달리 생각하면 젤 형성도 가능함을 시사하였다. 가교화도가 낮을 때는 사방으로의 접선방향의 팽윤이 가능하였으나, 가교화도가 증가함에 따라 밀전분과 같은 일차원적인 접선방향의 팽윤이 우세해졌다. 가열 중 전분입자의 형태학적인 미세구조의 변화는 가교화도에 따른 호화특성들의 차이를 잘 설명하여 주었다.

Preloading of soft clays is a common ground stabilization method for improvement of compressibility and the undrained shear strength. The waiting period under preload is a primary design criterion controlling the degree of improvement obtained. Upon unloading the overconsolidation attained with respect to actual loads defines the long term performance. This paper presents a laboratory study for investigation of creep behavior of Famagusta Bay alluvial soft soil preloaded under various effective stresses for analysis of long term performance based on the degree of overconsolidation. Traditional one-dimensional consolidation tests as well as modified creep tests are performed on reconstituted soft specimens. Compressibility parameters are precisely backcalculated using one dimensional consolidation theory and the coefficient of creep is determined using the traditional Cassagrande method as well as two modified methods based on log cycles of time and the inflection of the creep curve. The test results indicated that the long term creep can be successfully predicted considering the proposed method. The creep coefficients derived as part of this method can also be related to the recompression index (recompression index, swelling index) considering the results of the testing method adopted in this study.

Nylon 6 was blended with a brominated epoxy resin, tetrabromobisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBBA), to enhance flame retardant property. Thermal properties of the blends were analyzed by DSC. Melting point and crystallization temperature decreased as the amount of epoxy resin increased. Melt index and relative viscosity decreased as the amount of the epoxy resin increased. When the blended amount of the epoxy resin was below 5%, the melt index decreased while the relative viscosity slightly increased. The blend resin was successfully spun into fiber without swelling or drawing the resonance phenomena. However, both the tenacity and elongation of the fiber decreased by increasing the amount of the DGEBBA.

Biopolymers, polymers produced by living organisms, are used in various fields (e.g., medical, food, cosmetic, medicine) due to their beneficial properties. Recently, biopolymers have been used for control of soil erosion, stabilization of aggregate, and to enhance drilling. However, the inter-particle behavior of such polymers on soil behavior are poorly understood. In this study, an artificial biopolymer (${\beta}$-1,3/1,6-glucan) was used as an engineered soil additive for Korean residual soil (i.e., hwangtoh). The geotechnical behavior of the Korean residual soil, after treatment with ${\beta}$-1,3/1,6-glucan, were measured through a series of laboratory approaches and then analyzed. As the biopolymer content in soil increased, so did its compactibility, Atterberg limits, plasticity index, swelling index, and shear modulus. However, the treatment had no effect on the compressional stiffness of the residual soil, and the polymer induced bio-clogging of the soil's pore spaces while resulting in a decrease in hydraulic conductivity.

Three different methods were employed to measure the degree of aerial oxidation in coal and the resulting oxidation/weathering indices were applied to obtain kinetic parameters of aerial oxidation processes, The index (i.e., slurry pH, Free Swelling Index, weight gain) values were subjected to kinetic analysis based on power-law Arrhenius type reaction model. The results show that activation energy of the aerial oxidation in 20-29$0^{\circ}C$ is in the range of 12-16 ㎉/㏖ and the agreement among three techniques is remarkable. The first order kinetic model is suitable in describing low temperature aerial oxidation process, except in the FSI case where the zero order expression is the best one.

Chronic joint pain due to loss of cartilage function, degradation of subchondral bone, and related conditions are common plights of an arthritis patient. Antioxidant compounds could solve the problems in arthritic condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of D-carvone against complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis in rats. D-carvone was orally administered for 25 days at the doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg against CFA-induced arthritic rats. Changes in body weight, paw swelling, organ index, hematological parameters, oxidative stress markers, inflammatory cytokines, and histopathology were recorded. Oral treatment of D-carvone significantly improved the body weight, reduced the paw swelling, edema formation, and organ index in arthritic rats. The levels of white blood cells were reduced, red blood cells and hemoglobin levels were improved in D-carvone treated arthritic rats. Lipid peroxidation levels were lowered whereas enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants were significantly elevated by D-carvone administration against arthritic rats. D-carvone significantly modulated inflammatory cytokine levels and improved the ankle joint pathology against CFA-induced arthritic inflammation. In conclusion, D-carvone proved significant anti-arthritic activity against CFA-induced arthritis in rats.

본 연구는 국내 대표 암석의 팽윤성을 관찰하고 암석의 풍화와 관련하여 시험법의 활용과 선행 분석의 개선점을 제시하고자 한다. 국내 고속도로 시공현장에서 지반조사를 위해 획득한 시추코어를 대상으로 스웰링시험 및 분석하였다. 연구 시험용 암종의 선정은 암석의 분류기준과 분포면적을 고려하였으며, 화성암은 화강암을 선정하였고 퇴적암은 사암과 이암을 선정하였다. 변성암은 편암과 편마암을 선정하였다. 암석의 흡수팽창지수를 결정하는 방법은 ISRM과 한국암반공학회 표준암석시험법(2005) 중 "암석의 시료채취와 시험편 제작 표준법"에 제안된 방법을 이용하였다. 팽창변위의 측정을 위한 시편은 높이 10cm, 지름 5cm의 원주형 이었다. 이에 수직되는 단면에 대해 흡수팽창변형률을 측정하였으며 단면 방향의 변형률은 팽창 방향의 길이를 보정하였다. 본 연구의 스웰링에 의한 풍화민감도 분석 시험 결과, 최대팽창변위보다 변화율이 암석의 팽윤성 판단에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 기존 스웰링분석법은 팽창변위의 최고점(최대팽창변위)을 이용하여 풍화민감도를 평가하고 있으나 암반등급별 구분이 불명확하므로 침수시간에 따른 팽창변위의 변화율(기울기)을 이용하는 것이 타당하다. 암반등급외 암석의 등방성과 이방성의 구분, 암종별 장축과 단축의 팽창변위(차이)를 활용한 풍화 특성의 판별이 필요하다. 풍화변질과 단층변질을 구분한 실험이 필요하며 이를 위해 선행적으로 구성 광물의 정량 분석이 필요하다. 또한, 화학적 풍화 단계의 팽창변위 분석을 통한 암종별 장기풍화 예측기술이 필요하다.

Bentonite-based grouting has been popularly used to seal a borehole installed for a closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger in a geothermal heat pump system (GHP) because its high swelling potential. However, if the bentonite-based grouting is conducted in coastal areas, the salinity of groundwater changes in the mineral fabric of bentontie. In order words, an increase of cation concentration in groundwater leads to a reduction in the diffuse double-layer thickness in the bentonite mineral structure, and thus the volume of bentointe-based grouts will decrease proportional to the salinity of groundwater. In this paper, the effect of salinity (i.e., NaCl 0.5M, 0.25M, and 0.1M) on the change of swelling potential for bentonite-based grouts has been quantitatively evaluated for seven bentonite grouts from different product sources. In addition, in case of using addictives such as a silica sand to increase the thermal conductivity of bentonite-based grouts, the possibility of particle segregation has been studied considering the viscosity of grouts and salinity of groundwater.

The drug therapy for rheumatoid arthritis must be maintained constantly or for the whole life but is apt to induce the adverse effects in gastrointestinal or renal system. Therefor, newer methods are paid attention to reduce adverse effects. The thirty-two rat female separated into seven groups depending on the therapy or Freund's adjuvant applied: Normal group(n=8) not received anything, Positive control group(n=8) only received adjuvant, USC group(n=8) received continuous US, USP group(n=8) received pulsed US. The physical and radiological findings by thermal and non-thermal effects of ultrasound were evaluated in groups with continuous mode at 1 MHz, $0.5\;W/cm^2$ for 6 minutes and with pulsed mode (duty cycle 1:9) at 1 MHz, $0.5\;W/cm^2$ for 6 minutes. The result summarized followings. 1. Swelling of forepaw and hindpaw was significantly reduced in USP. 2. Arthritis indices in USP group were significantly reduced than those in PCG. 3. In naked eye and radiologic findings, swelling was significantly prevented in USP group but not in PCG. The change of swelling, arthritis index, gross feature in naked eye, radiologic finding were significantly improved in all groups except for USC group, taking care for using its continuous mode.
