Recently, the external prestressed concrete structures are increasingly being built. The mechanical behavior of prestressed concrete beams with unbonded tendon is different from that of normal bonded PSC beams in that the increment of tendon stress was derived by whole member behavior. By this reason, the ultimate stress of external tendon is smaller than that of bonded tendon or internal unbonded tendon. However, in the domestic and abroad code, the equation of ultimate stress of external tendon is not suggested yet, and the equation of ultimate stress of internal unbonded tendon is used instead of that of external tendon. Therefore, in this paper, after effective variables of ultimate stress of external tendon were analyzed, the analytical equation of ultimate stress of external tendon was proposed. And the reasonable coefficients were proposed by statistical work of test results of 25 beam with external tendon. Finally, the practical proposed equation of ultimate stress of external tendon was proposed with analytical and statistical model. The equation of ACI-318 and AASHTO 1994 were not matched with test results and had no correlations, and the proposed equation was well matched with test results. So the proposed equation in this paper will be a effective basis for the evaluation of external tendons in analysis and design.

In an attempt to establish the diagnostic value of Achilles tendon reflex and to determine the normal value of Achilles tendon reflex time in normal Korean, the author measured the Achilles tendon reflex time by photomotograph. This study was carried out in 272 cases with various thyroid diseases and 340 normal Korean. 1) The Achilles tendon reflex time in normal Korean was like this, between 11 years old and 20 years old; male (62cases); $250{\pm}27$ msec, female (36 cases); $266{\pm}27$ msec, between 21 years old and 30 years old; male (38 cases); $271{\pm}27$ msec, female (21 cases); $284{\pm}27$ msec, between 31 years old and 40 years old; male (26 cases); $275{\pm}25$ msec, female (29 cases); $291{\pm}27$ msec, between 41 years old and 50 years old; male (20 cases); $286{\pm}35$ msec, female (24 cases); $307{\pm}42$ msec, between 51 years old and 60 years old, male (20 cases); $296{\pm}33$ msec, female (20 cases); $318{\pm}46$ msec, over 61 years; male (24 cases) $301{\pm}33$ msec, female (20 cases); $325{\pm}35$ msec. The Achilles tendon reflex time was delayed with increasing age and delayed in the female. 2) The Achilles tendon reflex time was markedly shortened to $221{\pm}20$msec in untreated hyperthyroidism. 3) The Achilles tendon reflex time was markedly delayed to $435{\pm}59$msec in hypothyroidism. 4) The Achilles tendon reflex time was not changed significantly in.other thyroid diseases with normal thyroid function. 5) The Achilles tendon reflex time showed good,correlationship with ETR, $T_3RU,\;^{131}I$ thyroid uptake and serum TSH. 6) Reproducibility of Achilles tendon reflex: time was good, and no significant difference between left and right was noted. 7) Diagnostic accuracy of Achilles tendon reflex time was 71% in hyperthyroidism and 90% in hypothyroidism. 8) The Achilles tendon reflex time showed useful test to evaluate the clinical course of the hyperthyroidism.

격납구조는 사고시 방사능 유출을 막기 위해 내압성능을 확보해야 하므로 소형 원자로용 격납구조에 모듈 방식을 적용하기 위해서는 내압성능의 분석이 필요하다. 따라서 소형 원자로용 모듈화 격납구조의 내압성능 분석을 위해 프리캐스트 콘크리트 모듈과 모듈 사이의 연결부 접촉면과 긴장재 배치를 고려한 FEM모델을 작성하고 정적해석을 수행한다. 이를 통해 모듈화 격납구조의 하중단계별 변위 및 응력의 변화특성을 분석한다. 그리고 변수 분석을 위해 선정된 각 변수가 모듈화 격납구조의 내압성능에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 비교를 위해 일체화 격납구조의 내압성능도 함께 분석한다. FEM해석을 통한 변수 분석을 통해 긴장력 크기, 긴장재 배치 간격, 콘크리트 두께방향 긴장재 위치, 연결부 접촉면 마찰 계수 크기, 콘크리트 두께 등과 같은 변수 값의 범위가 제시되었다. 모듈화 격납구조의 모듈 간 접촉면에서 합성효과를 발생시켜주는 주요인자는 긴장재에 의한 긴장력과 연결부 접촉면의 마찰력이다. 일체화 격납구조 대비 추가적인 긴장재배치를 통해 긴장력을 증가시키면 모듈화 격납구조에서도 일체화 격납구조와 동등 수준의 내압성능을 확보할 수 있다.

Recently, the using PSC with external unbonded tendons is increased. However, the behavior of external unbonded tendons is different with that of bonded internal tendon at ultimate state by compatibility condition, the slip with friction at deviator and the change of tendon eccentricity e.t.c., So, the analytical research considered the effect of these inherent characters was performed and the tendency of external unbonded tendons was estimated by numerical examples. By the analytical results, load-deflection relationship and stress increment of external unbonded tendons were similar to those of internal bonded tendon at initial elastic behavior state. Those characters were, however, smaller than those character of internal bonded tendons. For external unbonded tendons, if the 1 deviator which is positioned at maximum moment point and more 2 deviators which are position between maximum moment point and support are existed, the flexural behavior is similar to internal bonded tendons.

Recently, the external prestressed concrete structures are increasingly being built. The mechanical behavior of prestressed concrete beams with external tendon is different from that of normal bonded PSC beams in that the increment of tendon stress was derived by whole member behavior. By this reason, the ultimate stress of external tendon is smaller than that of bonded tendon or internal unbonded tendon. The purposes of the present paper are therefore to improve the mechanical behavior of external unbonded tendon by using partially bonded external tendon and to evaluate the flexural behavior of partially bonded external tendon by the flexural member experiment. From the experimental results, before flexural cracking, there was no difference between external unbonded, partially bonded and bonded tendons. However, after cracking, yielding load of reinforcement, ultimate load, and tendon stress were increased in the sequence of external unbonded, partially bonded and bonded tendon members. The equation of ACI-318 and AASHTO 1994 were not matched with test results and had no correlations. So the newly proposed equation will be needed including the consideration of tendon profile, tendon bonded type, and so on. The proposed partially bonded external tendon in this paper will be a effective basis for the evaluation of external tendons in construction and design.

Traumatic ruptures of tibialis posterior tendon are much less common and consequently have received little attention. A tibialis posterior tendon rupture associated with a closed medial malleolar fracture occured in a 32 years old man due to slip down. The tendon rupture was not diagnosed before surgery but was recognized at the time of open operation. The treatment was open reduction and internal fixation at the bony fragments with primary repair of the tendon. This tendon injury, although rare, should be considered in the management of ankle fracture because the tendon rupture could easily have been overlooked and failure to recognize this at the time of injury may result in poor long - term ankle function despite a well- healed fracture.

The numerical simulation methodologies to evaluate the structural behaviors of prestressed concrete containment vessels (PCCVs) have been substantially developed in recent decades. However, there remain several issues to be investigated more closely to narrow the gap between test results and numerical simulations. As one of those issues, the effects of no stiffness inside unbonded tendon ducts on the behavior of PCCVs are investigated in this study. Duct holes for prestressing cables' passing are provided inside the containment wall and dome in one to three directions for general PCCVs. The specific stress distribution along the periphery of the prestressing duct hole and the loss of stiffness inside the hole, especially in an unbonded tendon system, are usually neglected in the analysis of PCCVs with the assumption that the duct hole is filled with concrete. However, duct holes are not small enough to be neglected. In this study, the effects of no stiffness inside the unbonded tendon system on the behaviors of PCCVs are evaluated using both analytical and numerical approaches. From the results, the effects of no stiffness in unbonded tendons need to be considered in numerical simulations for PCCVs, especially under internal pressure loading.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the burning acupuncture therapy and exercise therapy on the internal derangement of knee with patella tendon and posterior cruciate ligament injury. Methods: Burning acupuncture therapy was administered three times and exercise therapy was administered during 4 weeks. The improvement of clinical symptom was evaluated by VAS(visual analogue scale) and KOOS(knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score). Results: After treatment, the patient's VAS score was reduced to 0 pant. The KOOS score of pain, symptom, ADL, sport/rec, QOL(quality of life) improved from 28 to 75, from 36 to 71, from 22 to 65, from 0 to 15, from 25 to 38 respectively. Conclusions: Burning acupuncture therapy and exercise therapy fer internal derangement of knee with patella tendon and posterior cruciate ligament injury was effective. Although this case presented valuable result, further research is encouraged to confirm the effectiveness of this treatment with large number of patient.

Background: The aims of this study were (1) to examine the footprint of the subscapularis tendon using the traditional posterior portal and $30^{\circ}$ arthroscope by simple internal rotation of the arm during surgery, and (2) to classify the pattern of a subscapularis partial-thickness tear. Methods: This study analyzed a total of 231 patients with a partial-thickness subscapularis tear from 550 consecutive patients undergoing an arthroscopic operation who had a visualization of the subscapularis tendon footprint by internal rotation of the arm. First, the patients were classified into four categories according to the tear pattern: (1) stable lamination, (2) unstable lamination, (3) avulsion, and (4) laminated avulsion. Randomized arthroscopic videos were reviewed blindly by two independent orthopedic surgeons. The pattern of the tear of the subscapularis at the neutral position and after internal rotating the arm were assessed and compared with the treatment decision (level IV case series). Results: Stable lamination, unstable lamination, avulsion, and laminated avulsion were observed in 9.1% (n=21), 20.8% (n=48), 41.1% (n=95), and 29.0% (n=67) of cases, respectively. In 145 out of 231 cases (62.8%), the decision was changed after inspecting the footprint after internal rotation of the arm, and the treatment method was changed in 116 (50.2%) cases. Conclusions: In a subscapularis tendon partial-thickness tear, inspecting the footprint of the subscapularis tendon is essential to diagnosing and deciding on the appropriate treatment. In addition, simply internal rotating the arm during surgery when using the traditional posterior portal and $30^{\circ}$ arthroscope can be a valuable method.

Fractures and fracture-dislocations of the ankle are caused by a variety of mechanisms. In addition to fractures, injuries of soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, nerves, and muscles may also occur. Among these, a tibialis posterior tendon injury is difficult to be identified due to swelling and pain at the fracture site. It is difficult to observe tibialis posterior tendon injury on a simple radiograph; it is usually found during surgery by accident. There are some studies regarding irreducible ankle fracture-dislocations due to interposition of the tibialis posterior tendon; however, to the best of our knowledge, there has not been any report about interposition of injured tibialis posterior tendon. Herein, we report a case of an irreducible fracture-dislocation of the ankle due to injured tibialis posterior tendon interposition that was observed intraoperatively, interrupting the reduction of ankle fracture-dislocation. We obtained satisfactory clinical result after reduction of the trapped tendon, fracture reduction, and internal fixation; therefore, we are willing to report this case with the consent of the patient. This study was conducted with an approval from the local Institutional Ethics Review Board.
