This study was undertaken to take the correct vocal technique(especially about the resonance of oral cavity). The resonance of oral and pharyngeal cavity is the principle which can vocalize well without any abnormal signs in the throat. Therefore it is important for us to understand how to use the correct resonance of oral and pharyngeal cavity. Shimadzu X-ray remote control TV system and Shimadzu magnet $nex-{\alpha}$ (SMT-50CX/H) were used for checking the movements of T-M joint and diaphragmatic respiration. The results obtained were summerized as follows: 1. While opening T-M joint space like the vowel "A" [a], We should vocalize five fundamental vowel [a,e,i,o,u] with diaphragmatic respiration holded. 2. Diminuendo must be expressed by increasing a breath volume while descending a mandible gradually because we can not ascend maxilla. So we can make a delicate expression. 3. The resonance of oral cavity must be scattered by elevating the soft palatine lightly with relax of throat.

A clinical evaluation was performed on 76 cases of chest injury experienced at department of Chest Surgery, Capital Armed Forces General Hospital during the past 3 years period from January 1981 to August 1983. 1.The most common cause of the chest trauma was gun shot by which 26 cases were injured among 44 cases [57.9%] of penetrating injury. Remaining 32 cases [42.1%] were injured by non-penetrating blunt trauma. 2.Hemopneumothorax was observed in 60 cases [78.9%], those were caused by both penetrating [65%] and non-penetrating [35%] injuries. 3.Rib fracture was found in 58.7% of total cases and with rib fracture, clavicle fracture was combined at 19.6% and sternal fracture, at 8.7%. 4.Most common symptoms were chest pain and dyspnea, and most common signs were breath sound diminution and subcutaneous emphysema. 5.Common site of rib fracture was from 4th rib to 8th rib [69.4%]. 6.In 58 cases [76.3%], patients were treated with operation including open thoracotomy [25 cases]. 7.Overall mortality was 5.3%[4 cases] and causes of death were septic shock and respiratory failure.

Objectives: In this study a pattern questionnaire for damum patterns was developed by means of literature review and statistical analysis. The individual approach of korean medicine is based on the concept of pattern identification, the objectivity and validity issues of which hold important meaning in the pratice and research. Methods: Review of literatures led to the selection of 22 items describing Dam or Um pattern. A preliminary questinnaire consisted of these items that may be scored with positive score at zero to seven. Results: Damum is all over the body syndromes. That is abnormal body conditions. Damun arouse body pain, breath disorder, digestion disorder, nerves disorder, excretion disorder. Conclusions: Review of literatures led to selection of 29 items describing Damun. A questionnaire is in preparation.

일반적으로 심장자기공명영상을 이용하여 우관상동맥을 영상화 하기 위해서 3차원 데이터를 얻는다. 그렇게 하는 경우 데이터를 받는 시간이 오래 걸리고, 받은 3차원 데이터에서 차원 원하는 부분만을 2차원으로 재구성하는 작업을 해야 하는 번거러움이 있다. 반면에 호흡 정지상태에서 우관상동맥의 위치를 잘 선택하게 되면 한번 숨을 참을 수 있는 시간안에 원하는 영상을 얻을 수 있는 이점이 있다. 그렇게 하기 위해서는 우관상동맥을 찾아서 그 부분만 영상화해야 하는데, 본 논문에서는 한 영상에 같이 나타내기 어려운 대동맥에서 시작하여 심장 뒤편으로 돌아 들어가는 전체 우관상동맥을 쉽게 찾고, 한번 호흡을 참는 시간안에 영상화 하는 방법을 제안한다.

Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) has been extensively investigated as a noninvasive marker of airway inflammation in asthma. The increased NO expression induced by inflammatory mediators in airways can be monitored easily in exhaled air from asthmatic children. Based on the relationship between the increased NO expression and eosinophilic airway inflammation, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurements become an important adjunct for the evaluation of asthma. In addition, the availability of portable devices makes it possible to measure FeNO more easily and frequently in the routine pediatric practice. Despite various confounding factors affecting its levels, FeNO can be applicable in diagnosing asthma, monitoring treatment response, evaluating asthma control, and predicting asthma exacerbations. Thus, although pulmonary function tests are the standard tools for objective measurements of asthmatic control, FeNO can broaden the way of asthma monitoring and supplement standard clinical asthma care guidelines.

Abdominal circumference changes due to breathing by the respiratory muscle activity such as diaphragm, which would partially represent the lung volume variation. The present study introduced conductive rubber molded in a cord shape incorporated with a patient's pants. The conductive rubber cord operated as a displacement transducer to measure the lung or abdominal volume changes. Signal extraction circuitry was developed to obtain the volume and its derivative(or the flow) signals followed by wireless transmission based on the Zigbee communication protocol in a size of $65mm{\times}105mm$ easily put in pocket. Breathing frequency was accurately evaluated and breath pattern analysis seemed feasible, since respiratory behaviours such as maximal inspiration and cough were well identified. Remote wireless receiver module also enabled to monitor both volume and flow signals during resting breathing on a PC terminal.

Optimizing the performance of a composite sensor array is necessary when the number of sensors to choose from is large. In this paper, we present a chemical sensors array optimization method using Wilks Lamda algorithm applicable a device to detect low concentration of alcohol from driver's exhale breath for interlocking engine ignition preventing drink-driving. More than 20 chemical sensors fabricated different synthetic stuffs and heater temperatures by collaborators were nominated, 5 sensors were selected for optimal sensors array using the method, and alcohol samples were well discriminated from the interference gases inside the vehicle. It has been confirmed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

A twenty three year old, Primigravida and 32 week pregnant woman who has been complained dyspnea, chest pain, nausea and vomiting was admitted to this chest surgical department on Feb. 19, 1979. Physical findings were those of acutely ill appearance, decreased thoracic excursion and absence of breath sounds in the left hemithorax. Roentgen examination of the chest revealed reticular cystic densities in the left, particularly in lower lung field with collapse of the left lung. Correction of the diaphragmatic hernia was carried out with reduction and repair of the hernia through transperitoneal approach. On exploration, the defect of the diaphragm was 12 x 12 cm in size and was located posterolateral area of left diaphragm. Hernia contents were stomach, spleen, omentum and splenic flexure of large bowel. The baby was normal full term spontaneous delivered at 36th POD. Diaphragmatic hernia complicated by pregnancy is a rarity and mortality is extremely high. Therefore, the literatures have reviewed and the case is reported.

Venous aneurysms are uncommon in the lower limb and are more frequently found in the neck and thoracic and visceral veins. However, they have been reported to cause thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, and other related complications. Popliteal venous aneurysms are often undetected because they are usually asymptomatic, but they may cause pulmonary thromboembolic events. We experienced a case of a 44-year-old man who was referred for recurrent pulmonary thromboembolism. He showed no other symptoms or signs except shortness of breath. A popliteal venous aneurysm was diagnosed incidentally because the examinations were performed to detect a deep vein thrombosis in relationship to the patient's history of pulmonary thromboembolism. We report a case of surgical treatment for a popliteal venous aneurysm that was complicated by pulmonary thromboembolism.

It is important to evaluate fatigue damage of in-service material in respect to assure safety and remaining fatigue life in structure and mechanical components under cyclic load . Fatigue damage is represented by mathematical modelling with crack growth rate da/dN and cycle ration N/Nf and is detected by X-ray diffraction and ultrasonic wave method etc. But this is estimated generally by single parameter but influenced by many test conditions The characteristics of it indicates fatigue damage has complex fracture mechanism. Therefore, in this study we propose that back-propagation neural networks on the basis of ration of X-ray half-value breath B/Bo, fractal dimension Df and fracture mechanical parameters can construct artificial intelligent networks estimating crack growth rate da/dN and cycle ratio N/Nf without regard to stress amplitude Δ $\sigma$.
