In the Korea, 80 percent of livestock manure were converted into compost and used as organic fertilizers. The livestock manure compost has two types of powder and pellet type (ID= 5~10 mm). The aim of this study was to investigate the properties of two types of cow manure compost pellet (cylinder and sphere type). Nitrogen concentrations of cylinder type and sphere type of compost pellets were 1.23 and 1.24%, respectively. There were similar with nitrogen concentration of cylinder and sphere types of compost pellets. As a result of analyzing the effect of granulation processing, it was found that the moisture content of the raw material was the most influential factor in the granulation processing in both of the processing types of the screw pressing method and the rotating cylinder method. When the cylinder and sphere types of compost pellets were dry to 20% of moisture content, the specific gravities of these compost pellets were 1.38 and 1.13, respectively. The compressive strength of cylinder type pellet and sphere type pellet were 27.6 and $11.3kg/cm^2$, respectively.

Enormous amount of zeolite by-products as a fine powder have been produced while manufacturing commercial zeolite products. Granulation of the zeolite by-products is necessary in order for them to be recycled as soil conditioners or absorbent for various environmental contaminants due to the limitations inherent from their physical properties. We granulated the zeolite powders using Portland cement as a cementing agent and characterized the physical and chemical properties of the granulated zeolite product. The experimental natural zeolite had a Si/Al ratio of 4.8 and CEC of 68.1 $cmol_c\;kg^{-1}$. The X-ray diffractometry (XRD) revealed that clinoptilolite and mordenite were the major minerals of natural zeolite. Smectite, feldspar and quartz also existed as secondary minerals. Optimum conditions of granulated zeolite production occurred when natural zeolite was mixed with Portland cement at a 4:1 ratio and granulated using the extruder, left to harden for one month at $25^{\circ}C$ and treated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. The wide spectra of XRD revealed that the granulated zeolite had amorphous oxide minerals. The alkali- or thermal-treated natural zeolite exhibited pH-dependent charge properties. The major minerals of the granulated zeolite were clinoptilolite, mordenite and tobermorite. The buffering capacity and charge density of the granulated zeolite were greater than those of natural zeolite.

The author used rabbits in order to examine the effect of Ga-As low power generating semiconductor laser on artificially produced injuries of experimental animals. Artificially produced injuries include surgical wound of 3mm length, 2mm depth in size on ventral skin surface of rabbit and buccal mucosa, and electrical injury formed on opposite side of skin and buccal mucosa by electrical cauterization of same length and depth, and chemical injury formed by FC(Formocresol) solution applied on the anterior dorsal part of tongue. And then, on the experimental group, Ga-As laser was irradiated beginning on the day after the wound formation and continued to irradiate every each other day for five minutes. After1, 3, 6, 9, 13th day, certain number of animals of control and experimental group were sacrified, and wound site tissue was excised to make samples and was observed under light microscope. The following is the conclusions after comparing the healing procedure of experimental and control group. The following results were obtained : 1. Inflammation was decreased more rapidly in the experimental group than the control group. 2. In the surgical, the electrical and the chemical injuries in the oral mucosa, re-epithelialization was completed more rapidly in the experimental group than the control group. In the electrical injury on the skin, re-epithelialization was completed about 6 days after wound formation on both groups. 3. In the electrical and the surgical injuries on the oral mucosa, granulation tissue formation started at 3 days after injury on both groups, but in the chemical injury, it was completed about 3 days faster in the control group than the experimental group. In the surgical wound on the skin, it was completed about 9 days after injury, but faster in the experimental group. In the electrical injury on the skin, it was faster in the control group than the experimental group. 4. In the electrical and the surgical injuries on the oral mucosa, fibrosis was started at 6~9 days after injury on both groups, but regeneration of connective tissue in the experimental group was observed much more than the control group. 5. When comparing the effect of wound healing on skin and oral mucosa of control and experimental group, granulation tissue formation and re-epithelialization in the oral mucosa was more vigorous. In conclusion, the difference of timing and the sequence of wound healing process(inflammation, re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, fibrosis) following Laser irradiation between control and experimental group was not observed, but the healing tissue was observed much more in the Laser irradiated group.

Top spray-drying method is frequently utilized for flavor encapsulation, but the top spray-dried products frequently suffer from high losses of volatile flavor as the result of a high processing temperature (150-$300^{\circ}C$). In an effort to solve these problems, a low-temperature fluidized-bed granulating method was utilized to encapsulate the flavor. For the encapsulation of sesame oil, oil-in-water emulsions of sesame oil and a mixture of maltodextrin, modified starch, gum arabic, and gellan gum were bottom-sprayed at milder temperatures (70-$100^{\circ}C$) using a fluidized-bed granulator. Sesame oil extracts from microcapsules were obtained via a simultaneous distillation/extraction technique, and the retention of volatile flavor compounds was analyzed via a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The retention of volatile flavors of sesame oil per se, spray-dried and fluidized-bed granulated microcapsules after 3-day-storage at $37^{\circ}C$ were 0.8%, 37.2%, and 42.0%, respectively. In addition, the low-temperature fluidized-bed granulation showed higher encapsulation yield and sensory preferences for the application of commercial products (beef rice porridge), as compared to spray drying.

For the propose of increasing the value added, zeolite powder was granulated by adding Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) as cementing material. The optimal concentration of PVA for granulation and the physical properties of the prepared granule were investigated. Four percent PVA stock solution was made by adding distilled water at $90^{\circ}C$ water bath and incorporated with zeolite. The contents of water stable granule above 2.0mm in diameter was 98.0% in the case of 0.3% PVA addition and almost 100% in the case of 0.6% PVA addition. Increasing PVA concentration of granules increased the hardness and decreased the infiltration rate and the maximum water holding capacity of granules, However, the drying method hardly affected the physical properties of granules. With the increase in the mixing ratios of kaolinite or bentonite to zeolite, the hardness of granules increased but high water contents of granules resulted in rapid decrease in the hardness of granules. However, when smectite or perlite was mixed with zeolite, the increase in mixing ratios to zeolite resulted in the decrease in hardness, the increase in the infilteration rate and maximum water holding capacity of granules.

Between 1985 and 1990, 41 patients underwent treatment of the tracheal stenosis. Nineteen patients underwent resection and end-to-end anastomosis including three cases of the subglottic stenosis. Other patients had had treatment such as LASER therapy, bronchoscopic removal, insertion of the Montgomery silastic T-tube or stent insertion Nineteen patients which underwent resection and end-to-end anastomosis were excellent result from three years to sixth months. Other patient were followed at OPD for the other complication or restenosis. There were no hospital death but one patient was managed by bronchoscopic removal of the granulation tissue and other one patient had underwent reoperation for the dehiscence at the anastomotic site.

Othematoma is a condition in which blood collects beneath the perichondral layer of the pinna. Recurrent auricular hematoma can be a challenging medical problem, with complications resulting in ear deformity, therefore, appropriate management is important. Improper treatment can result in a deformity known as 'cauliflower ear' or 'wrestler's ear.' We report a case of othematoma that was inappropriately treated and present a review of current treatment options.
