The effects of post weld heat treatment(PWHT) on the mechanical properties of 2.25Cr-1Mo steels were investigated. As the PWHT temperature or holding time increased, the strength of low alloy steels progressively decreased due to softening process. After the conventional PWHT, the strength was larger than the minimum value of materials specification. The Charpy impact energy was hardly affected by the conventional PWHT. The trend of mechanical properties was analyzed in terms of tempering parameter. Most materials replaced from a power plant met the requirements of materials specification except for one heat. Same heat of materials with low impact energy were attributed to the voids formed during casting process.

The surgical treatment of annuloaortic ectasia falls into two basic categories, depending on the management of the coronary artery ostia and the sinus of Valsalva. The conventional method, first suggested by Groves, Wheat and their associates, employs a supracoronary graft for the treatment of aneurysm and conventional valve replacement. A more radical approach, that of Bentall and DeBono, uses a valve conduit from the aortic annulus to the distal extent of the aneurysm. This latter technique requires reimplantation of the coronary artery ostia for reestablishment of coronary artery blood flow. Recently we experienced a case of annuloaortic ectasia to which we applied the Bentall operation with the good postoperative result, and now we report this with literature review.

We describe the successful treatment of a case of chronic myeloid leukemia with Qi therapy. The patient's disease was managed with conventional medical treatment and Qi therapy as a complementary therapy. Before Qi therapy, 95% of the patient's bone marrow showed evidence of disease. A second bone marrow sample five months after Qi therapy revealed that 38% of the bone marrow was normal; one year after Qi therapy the bone marrow was no longer producing any cancer cells. Although these results were obtained for a single case only and may not constitute conclusive evidence, the data suggest that Qi therapy given as a complementary therapy during conventional medical treatment may have beneficial effects on chronic myeloid leukemia.

This study explored the effectiveness of a hierarchical treatment of aphasic perseveration (TAP) program in a Korean client with transcortical sensory aphasia. The subject with 52% perserveration score (Korean version of Boston Naming Test : K-BNT) was 44 year-old female with MCA (Middle cerebral artery) infarction. The experimental design used was an alternating treatment design with the hierarchical TAP and conventional audio-visual stimulation. The frequency of occurrence of perseverative behaviors and correct response in naming performance were analyzed and compared. It was claimed that the hierarchical TAP was more effective in naming performance than conventional audio-visual stimulation in terms of correct naming response. The frequency of occurrence of perseverative behaviors was lower in hierarchical TAP but the difference was relatively small. Unlike in English, sentence completion task was no longer stimulable while unison speech was very stimulable among the specific strategies of TAP program in Korean. Therefore, it could be said that TAP is language-dependent.

Ultrasonic deinkings of white ledger were carried out to confirm whether the ink removal efficiency and pulp qualities can be improved by the ultrasonic deinking. The effects of conventional pulping and ultrasonic treatment of white ledger on the ink particle size distribution and ink removal coefficient were compared. The physical properties of paper, energy consumption and effluent qualities were measured. The ultrasonic treatment of white ledger resulted in the ink particle size distribution suitable for flotation. The ink removal efficiency, brightness, breaking length and effluent quality were improved by the ultrasonic deinking. It is expected that the competitiveness of ultrasonic deinking system can be improved by the optimization of treatment condition.

In the present study, Bauschinger effect was investigated for the micro-alloying forging steel which has been developed for about 30 years ago to save energy consumption by eliminating the heat treatment processes in the forging industry. The micro-alloying steels used fur cold forging industry mainly aim to replace the usual carbon steel. With the conventional carbon steels, all the deformation history can be eliminated after the final heat treatment(quenching and tempering). In the case of micro-alloying forging steels, however, the prior deformation history should be taken into consideration to meet the mechanical property requirement since the microstructure of micro-alloying steels might exhibit the Bauschinger effect, which was not needed to consider in the case of conventional carbon steel having quenching and tempering treatment. In the present study, the reverse loading tests were carried out to determine the Bauschinger effect of micro-alloying steel which composed of ferrite and cementite phases.

We report the surgical endodontic treatment of a maxillary first premolar with a lateral lesion that originated from an accessory canal. Although lesions originating from accessory canals frequently heal with simple conventional endodontic therapy, some lesions may need additional and different treatment. In the present case, conventional root canal retreatment led to incomplete healing with the need for further treatment (i.e., surgery). Surgical endodontic management with a fast-setting calcium silicate cement was performed on the accessory canal using a dental operating microscope. At the patient's 9-month recall visit, the lesion was resolved upon radiography.

Since its inception in Europe in the 1950s, alveolar molding treatment for neonates with complete cleft lip and palate has undergone significant evolution in both design and application methodology, demonstrating effectiveness in normalizing the alveolar cleft and nasal shape. However, excessively wide alveolar clefts accompanied by disproportionately wide total maxillary arch pose significant challenges when utilizing conventional alveolar molding methods involving cyclical adding and grinding of acrylic on molding plates. The current report introduces a novel alveolar molding method named Biocreative Alveolar Molding Plate Treatment (BioAMP), which can normalize the maxillary alveolar cleft and arch shape without laborious conventional acrylic procedures. BioAMP sets the target arch form and provides unrestricted space for natural growth of the maxillary alveolar bones while systematically reducing the total maxillary arch width in precise increments. Two exemplary cases are presented as proof-of-concept, showcasing the clinical innovation of BioAMP.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of high levels of nutrients on the growth performance, blood metabolites and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo cattle. Eighteen Hanwoo steers were fed two types of diets: 1) Nine animals were fed the conventional diet including typical levels of crude protein (CP) and total digestive nutrients (TDN), and 2) Nine animals were fed the treatment diet including high levels of CP and TDN. The average body weight (BW) and dry matter intake (DMI) were greater (P < 0.05) in the treatment group than in the conventional group at early and late fattening stages. Also, in the treatment group, the average daily gain (ADG) was greater (P < 0.05) at the late fattening stage. The serum total lipid and cholesterol levels were higher (P < 0.05) in the late fattening stage of treatment group. The carcass weight, total fat weight, longissimus muscle area and the grade of meat quality were also greater (P < 0.05) in the treatment group than the conventional diet group. This study demonstrates that high levels of CP and TDN exhibit a positive effect on the growth performance and carcass characteristics, indicating that high levels of CP and TDN can be used as a cost-effective feeding program for Hanwoo cattle by shortening the feeding period.

Purpose: The technique introduced in this study describes a technique for surface treatment that applies a photocuring resin to the surface of an interim crown fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) printing without a conventional polishing method. The purpose of this study was to evaluate marginal and internal fit and the intaglio surface trueness of interim crowns after surface treatment of 3D-printed crowns for clinical application. Materials and Methods: An interim crown was fabricated using a 3D printer with digital light-processing technology, and the surface support was removed. After the posttreatment process, the resin was thinly applied to the surface of the interim crown and polymerized to solve the esthetic problem of the surface without the conventional polishing process. In addition, the marginal and internal fits were measured to verify the clinical use of this technique, and the trueness was evaluated to confirm the deformation of the inner surface according to the technical application of the outer surface of the interim crown. The difference before and after the evaluation by a statistical method was verified using an independent t-test (α=0.05). Result: There was no significant difference in the marginal and internal fit before and after the application of this technique (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in intaglio surface trueness before and after the application of this technique (P=0.963). Conclusion: There was no change in the marginal and internal fit or in intaglio surface trueness of the interim crowns to which this technology was applied. This surface treatment technique is a more convenient method for interim crowns fabricated using 3D-printing technology without the conventional polishing process.
