The analysis of the absolute growth in seven body parts of crayfish (Cumbaroides similis Koelbel), such as carapace length, carapace width, abdominal length, abdominal width, sheliped length, second pereiopod length and third pereiopod length (the grolwth formula, y : a + bt ~ci applied) was performed. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The analyses of changing growth quantity for the seven body parts in both sexes showed concave shaped increase. 2. The largest ratios of the grourth quantity in both sexes were revealed in abdominal width (18.3677 times in male and 18.9253 times in female). 3. The srolwth rates of the seven body parts in both sexes showed a smooth increasing pattern. 4. 각B the sperifn'cgrouch rates revealed a decreasing pattern, moreover steep descendent patterns of it appeared in abdominal length of both sexes and abdominal width in male.

Between January 1984 to June 1994, fourteen patients from 37 to 80 years of age [mean 66.42 11.71 years of age have undergone surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in Kyung Hee Univ. Hospital. There were 11 males and 3 female patients. All but one were infra-renal type. The etiology of the aneurysm consisted of twelve atherosclerotic, one inflammatory and one traumatic abdominal aortic aneurysm.Two patients were operated on for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. We performed dacron graft interposition in all patients and one patient was also performed aorto-renal end to side anastomosis. Two patients died of postoperative complications which was a pulmonary insufficiency in one, acute renal failure in another patient.Remaining twelve patients were discharged with good condition and followed up from 2 months to 87 months.[mean $34.58{\pm}29.79$ months.

For the analysis of the relative grouch of six body pans, such as carapace width. abdominal length, abdominal width, cheliped length, second pereiopod length and third pereiopod length, to the carapace length of crayfish (Comboroides similis Koelbel), the equation Y = bXa were applied. The results were as follows: 1. In the relative srourth of each body part to the carapace length, abdominal width and abdomial length in both sexes showed as positive allometrv, the third pereiopod length in both sexes as isometry and the rest shouted as negative. The least coefficient of the relative growth was found in cheliped length in female (0.9300).2. The grolwth gradient of each body part to the carapace length in each sex revealed decreasing pattern in abdominal length and third pereiopod length in both sexes and the abdominal width in male with the growth centers on the initial growth period. and the rest showed increasing pattern with the growth centers on the 6th growvth period except the abdomini,d uridth in female on the 3rd growth period.

This study was carried out to prevent the abdominal re-adhesions in dogs. Two randomized groups of dogs were subjected to scratch the ileal serosa. Routine abdominal closure was performed on two groups. Second laparotomy was performed one month later for the scoring of the abhesion formation. The adhesions were separated physically after the scoring of the adhesions. In control goup saline was instilled into abdomen and in treated group 1% sodium carboxymethylcellulose(SCMC) solution was instilled into abdomen before the abdominal closure. Third laparotomy was performed another month later to evaulate the adhesions. Reduced adhesion formation following the instillation of 1% SCMC was reported. 1% SCMC is recommended to prevent the re-adhesions as well as adhesions.

Purpose: This study was done to investigate differences between lavender abdominal massage and inhalation on dysmenorrhea, menstrual pain, anxiety, and depression. Methods: This study used a non equivalent quasi-experimental design. Lavender essential oil and almond oil were used in massage and a lavender necklace and artificial perfume necklace in inhalation for female college students. Frequencies, percentages, Chi-square, Fisher's exact test and t-test with the SPSS/WIN 12.0 program were used to analyze the data. Results: Dysmenorrhea was significantly higher inhalation for placebo treatment compared to lavender inhalation (p< .001). There was not significant difference between lavender abdominal massage and inhalation. Conclusion: Lavender abdominal massage and inhalation could be effective methods to reduce dysmenorrhea. However, before lavender abdominal massage and inhalation can be considered as intervention, it is more needed to study of menstrual pain, anxiety and depression.

Glomus tumors are small vascular tumors that are usually benign and rarely occur. They originate from glomus bodies and present in the reticular dermis. They are clinically distinguished by their small size and their ability to cause extreme pain. Most of these tumors are subungually located. However, atypical locations of the tumors sometimes cause misdiagnosis, particularly when the lesion is rarely reported. Therefore, we report a case of glomus tumor which presented with chronic abdominal pain, found in the abdominal wall that has never been reported before.

Purpose: The reverse abdominoplasty has been reported infrequently as a procedure to improve the upper abdominal wall contour. Especially, there have been rare cases on the surgical techniques with augmentation mammoplasty using implant. It is known to maintain the result. Methods: This is a retrospective review of the senior surgeon's patients who underwent reverse abdominoplasty with augmentation mammoplasty. A 63-year-old female was dissatisfied with her contracted breast and upper abdominal contour after previous abdominal wall liposuction. We performed reverse abdominoplasty with augmentation mammoplasty through same inframammary incision. Results: There was a significant improvement of the upper abdominal wall and breast contour. There was no perioperative complication. The patients was satisfied with the results and retained a good shape during the 3 months follow-up periods. Conclusion: Reverse abdominoplasty with augmentation mammoplasty is an acceptable technique that provides good results and should be considered in cases of upper abdominal laxity with capsular contracture on both breasts.

These studies performed to establish the diagnostic methods for the luminal adhesions to abdominal wall with radiography, ultrasonography and electromyography, and to evalute sodium carboxymethylcellulose(SCMC) for prevention of the abdominal adhesions in goats. The adhesion sites were not detected by rediography and ultrasonography at non-pneumoperitoneum, but detected after pneumoperitoneum in goats with experimentally induced ruminal abhesions to abdominal wall. Electromyography revealed only the presence of intraabdominal adhesions. In fibriongen values and total leucocytes, there were no alterations between SCMC treated and non-treated group. The average gross scores of adhesions in SCMC treated and non-treated were 0.3 and 2.7, respectively. It was concluded that radigraphy, electromyography and ultrasonography could be available for the diagnosis of the ruminal adhesions to abdominal wall and the use of SCMC was useful to prevent the intraabdominal adhesions in ruminants.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect intentional contraction of abdominal muscles during lifting above shoulder on the muscles activities of the lower trunk and on the degree of lumbar extension. Fifteen healthy adult males were selected as test subjects. A 5kg weight was raised to the shoulder level, 20cm, and 40cm above the shoulder level. EMG activities of all muscles except the rectus abdominis were significantly greater when subjects were asked to contract their abdominal muscles intentionally during lifting(p<0.05). Degree of lumbar extension also significantly decreased with intentional abdominal contraction during the lifting. Also, degree of lumbar extension significantly increased with increase in lifting height(p<0.05). The results of this study show that intentional contraction of abdominal muscles during lifting above shoulder increases the EMG activities of external abdominis oblique, internal abdominis oblique, and erector spinae.
