Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm of the salivary gland, compring between 30 and 40%. Fine needle apsiration cytology was performed in five patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma. The patients consisted of three males aged of 42, 48, and 60 years, and two females aged 36, and 56 years. The primary tumor sites were the parotid gland in four patients and the submandibular gland in the rest one. The histologic grades were low in one patient, intermediate in two patients and high in other two. In our experience, the common cytologic findings of low grade subtype were predominent mucous cells with some intermediate cells in an abundant mucinous background. The cytologic findings of intermediate grade subtype were predominant clusters of intermediate cells with or without mucous cells in an abundant mucinous background. And the cytologic findings of high grade subtype were predominant clusters of epidermoid cells with intermediate cells in a bloody background. Cytologic pleomorphism and atypia were more severe in high grade than low and intermediate grade, and nucleoli were more frequently noted in epidermoid cells. In low grade, it is very difficult to decide the benignancy or malignancy of the tumor. In fact, the presence of mucous cells in a mucinous background should rule out any other type of well differentiated carcinoma.

방사선 치료에 있어서 정상 조직에는 방사선을 최소화 하고 종양 부위에 정확한 방사선을 집중해서 조사하여 국소 종양 제어율(Local Tumor Rate)을 극대화 하는 것이 가장 중요하다. 이를 위해서 초기에는 치료사들이 직접 환자의 움직임을 감지했으나 정확도가 떨어지고 치료사들의 피로가 가중되는 문제점들이 있었다. 또한 웹카메라를 이용하여 기준영상과 갱신되는 영상의 차분값을 계산하여 그 결과가 기준값을 초과하면 움직임이 발생한 것으로 판단하는 시스템을 사용하였다. 그러나 이 시스템은 환자의 움직임을 정량적으로 분석할 수 없고 토모치료기의 치료베드 이동시 변화되는 배경을 환자와 가려낼 수 없었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이러한 한계점을 해결하고자 지수가중치(${\alpha}$) 필터를 이용하여 환자의 움직임을 정량화 하고 환자와 치료환경의 배경이미지를 분리하여 치료중 환자의 움직임만을 감지하여 환자의 움직임으로 인한 문제를 줄일 수 있었다.

Background: There is no assessment of internet sites that carry information on chronic pain disease. So we assessed the quality of information about postherpetic neuralgia available on Korean internet sites. Methods: The keywords 'postherpetic neuralgia', 'herpes zoster, neuropathic pain', 'herpes zoster, pain', 'herpes zoster' were searched in Korean on four search engines in Korea between the 1st to the 15th of May, 2009. We evaluated the outcome on two factors; the aspect of the contents which is subdivided into two categories, the content and authorship, and the technical aspect including web design, and efficiency. Results: A total of 26 internet sites were found. Among these sites, 6 (23%) informed by anesthesiologist. The average score of the 26 internet sites was only $37.4{\pm}20.1$ out of a total of 100. A mean score of the contents was $13.3{\pm}8.3$ out of 40 points, the authorship was $10.0{\pm}6.7$ out of 20 points, the design was $9.2{\pm}5.3$ out of 20 points, the efficiency was $6.8{\pm}4.3$ out of 20 points. When comparing the score between anesthesiologist and non-anesthesiologist, the contents was $18.7{\pm}7.4$ vs. $11.7{\pm}7.9$, the authorship was $13.4{\pm}4.7$ vs. $9.0{\pm}6.8$, the design was $12.5{\pm}4.2$ vs. $8.3{\pm}5.2$ and the efficiency was $6.8{\pm}4.5$ vs. $4.3{\pm}4.0$ (P < 0.05). Conclusions: There is a need for more accurate information about postherpetic neuralgia on the Korean internet by anesthesiologists.

Background: Accurate statistics on the cancer burden are essential, both for purposes of research and for setting priorities in healthcare management. So that in vast countries with partial registration coverage, such as Iran, local data are more useful. We here estimated the incidence, prevalence and mortality time trend of four major cancer site, lung, stomach, breast and prostate, over the period 2001-2010 and provided short-range projections to 2015 in Isfahan. Materials and Methods: Estimates were derived by applying the mortality-incidence analysis method, a back-calculation approach to estimate and project incidence, prevalence and mortality of chronic degenerative disease, starting from knowledge of mortality and relative survival information. Results: Age adjusted incidence, mortality and prevalence rates in Isfahan exhibited a clear upward trend for all four sites during the period 2001-2015, with marked increasees in prostate and breast predicted for the future. Difference in incidence trends between males and females might be attributable to the difference in risk factors specific to certain cancer sites, with smoking being the main risk factor. Conclusions: In this study, males and females displayed an increasing pattern for incidence and mortality rate over the entire study period until 2015. This information can be used as basis for planning healthcare management and allocating recourses in public health.

Background: Cancer incidence data are vital for cancer control planning in any nation. This retrospective study was conducted to compare the cancer incidence of all sites between the first cancer registry report and the most recent example in Nepal. Material and Methods: The cases in the first (2003) and latest (2013) national cancer registry reports, accumulated by all the hospital based cancer registries in Nepal were taken for the research. The frequencies, crude incidences and age specific incidences (per 100,000) of the five major cancers were calculated for both males and females. Result: The most common cancer type for males in both years 2003 and 2013 was lung. Stomach was the third most common cancer in 2003 while it was the second in 2013. Similarly, the first four major cancers (cervix, breast, lung and ovary) did not change between 2003 and 2013 in females. The total cancer incidence rate increased from 12.8 in 2003 to 30.4 per 100,000 in 2013 for males and from 15.1 to 33.3 in females. Conclusion: The most common cancers in males in 2003 and 2013 were the bronchus and lung. Similarly, the most common cancer in females was cervix at both time points. The cancer incidence rate in females was higher than in males both in 2003 and 2013.

Background: In the Philippines, the practice of planting mangroves over seagrass has been a practice done to promote coastline protection from damages done by storms. Despite the added protection to the coastline, the addition of an artificial ecosystem gradually inflicts damage to the ecosystem already established. In this study, seagrass communities that had no history of mangrove planting were compared with those that had mangrove planting. The percent substrate cover of seagrass in the sampling areas was determined, and the macroinvertebrates present in the sampling areas were also observed. The study was conducted based on reports of mangrove planting activity that disrupted seagrass functions on Santa Fe, Bantayan Island, Cebu. Transect-quadrat method sampling was done to assess the chosen sites. Results: Six species of seagrass was found on the site without mangrove planting which was barangay Ocoy (Cymodocea sp., Thalassia sp., Halodule sp., Enhalus sp., Halophila sp., and Syringodium sp.) and had a higher percent cover, while only four were found on the site with mangrove planting (barangay Marikaban). It was also found that barangay Marikaban had a lesser Shannon-Wiener and Simpson's index compared to barangay Ocoy. Jaccard's index of similarity between the two sites was low. Conclusion: With the results of the assessment, we recommend proper monitoring of future mangrove planting activities and that these activities should not disrupt another ecosystem as all ecosystems are important.

This study is about the evaluation of the color arrangements of working clothes that are harmonized with working environment and assist in the protection of workers in industrial sites. This study attempted color arrangement design with the intention of giving order to the colors of working environment and working clothes so as to help improve the safety of work and the management aspects including human resource management, efficiency improvement, and the practice of business ethics. The study method consisted of literature research, empirical research, and evaluation research. The literature research performed theoretical examination about colors, industrial safety, and visibility. Three actual outdoor work sites in the machine industry were chosen and pictures were taken at 20-30 m from workers. The background colors of the work environment of each work site and the colors of the working clothes that were actually worn were analyzed through color values measured with a color-difference meter(CR-400). As a result, it was found that between value and chroma which affect visibility, color arrangement based on differences in chroma could be a greater influence than color arrangement based on differences in value. The results of this study could assist the integration of color schemes among working environment colors, people and working clothes by suggesting color arrangements with improved visibility that are applicable to the working clothes of domestic machine manufacturers that are playing a pivotal role in domestic industries and by presenting appropriate guidelines.

Characteristics of the ozone concentrations in Seoul were analyzed for the data between May and September from 1996 to 2000. Observation data from 27 stations in Seoul are used. Among the results from 27 stations, representative results from 2 stations (City hall and Gwanak representing downtown and background areas of Seoul, respectively) are presented. The 24-hour average ozone concentrations of Gwanak (28.6 ppb) are higher than City hall (14.9 ppb). The 24-hour average ozone concentrations on Sunday are higher than other days at both sites. During weekday, the 24-hour average ozone concentrations on Wednesday are higher than other days. Although the mean of the I-hour daily maximum ozone concentrations at Gwanak is higher than City hall, the . ozone concentrations above 95th percentile at City hall are higher than Gwanak. As a result, the number of days on which the 1 - hour ozone concentration exceeding 100 ppb and 120 ppb at Gwanak (17 and 3) are lower than City hall (29 and 9). To sum up, both sites are VOCs limited region and the mean ozone concentration in Gwanak is higher because of the lower N0$_2$ concentration. But high ozone cases occur more frequently in City hall when conditions are right.
