Fracture of mandible is the most frequent fracture among many types of maxillofacial fracture, and reduction of mandible fracture is performed using various methods of treatment to maintain bonding strength of fractured bone. Among these treatment of bone fracture, a semirigid fixation method which can reduce the period of intermaxillary fixation using metal mini plate under general or local anesthesia is spotlighted these days. The metal mini plate used during this semirigid fixation procedure is Titanium which is bio-inactive one and was used widely, but because the side effect of fracture reduction using titanium have been demonstrated recently, fracture reduction using biodegradable plate become to attract people's attention. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical case and review of the literature with the reduction of mandible fracture using biodegradable plate.

Due to the strength and biocompatibility requirement, the stainless steel SUS 316L is widely used for trauma internal fixation device. SUS 316L can be hardened and strengthened only by cold work. In this work, the material compression test is performed both in laboratory and computer simulation by a FEM analysis software DEFORM to correlate the hardness to strain. This data is then used for preform design and predict the hardness of the finish bone plate forging. Finally, we compared the hardness between the actual forging and computer analysis results. Although the predicted hardness from computer simulation. is 55HV higher than the final forging sample, we can get good compatibility on the hardening tendency of cold forging.

PHILOS plate fixation in osteoporotic proximal humerus fracture of old age is well-known for high complication rate, especially metal failure, providing various augmentation techniques, such as calcium phosphate cement, allogenous or autologous bone graft. We report a case of polymethyl methacrylate augmentation to provide appropriate reduction with a significant mechanical support. This can be a treatment option for displaced unstable osteoporotic proximal humerus fracture with marked bony defect.

Purpose: The optimal method of fixation of symphysis pubis (SP) diastasis in pelvic ring injuries is still controversial. In this study, we investigated the radiological and the clinical results of a precontoured 4.5-mm symphysis pubis (SP) plate with tension band wiring (TBW) after an anterior pelvic injury in pelvic fractures. Methods: We treated 25 patients with traumatic SP diastasis by open reduction and internal fixation with plates and wires. We used a four-hole 4.5-mm precontoured SP plate with a tension band wiring. Results: Patients with a SP with TBW fixation achieved excellent or good results at final follow-up. Post-operative complications included two (8%) patients with metal work movement. The mean symphyseal width was smaller in 4.5 mm SP plate with TBW during 1-year follow up period. Conclusion: A precontoured symphysis pubis plate (4.5 mm) with figure-of-eight fashion tension band wiring shows favorable radiological results, excellent or good clinical outcome, and a lower complication (hardware failure and revision surgery).

The chemical fixation of CO₂ into cyclic carbonates is considered to be one of the most promising way to alleviate global warming and produce fine chemicals. In this work, the catalytic applicability of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as porous crystalline materials for the synthesis of five-membered cyclic carbonate from CO₂ and epoxides was reviewed. In addition, we have briefly classified the materials based on their different structural features and compositions. The studies revealed that MOFs exhibited good catalytic performance towards cyclic carbonate synthesis because of the synergistic effect between the acid sites of MOFs and nucleophile. Moreover, the effect of structure of designed MOFs and mechanism for the cycloaddition of CO₂ were suggested.

금속이 함유된 폐기물의 처리는 점차 금속표면처리산업(Metal Finishing Industry)에서 큰 관심이 되어가고 있다. 위생침적지(Sanitary Landfills), 혹은 소각로에서 다른 도시 쓰레기들과 같이 처리되는 것은 환경상 불안전하며 이러한 행위는 중단되어야 한다. 다른 방법으로는 특수한 위생침적지의 운영, 안전한 침적지, 금속폐기물의 고정(Fixation), 혹은 포장(Capsule)에 넣어 버리는 방법등이 있으나 이러한 것들은 비실용적이며 예상되는 금속 폐기물의 양에 대하여 비용이 많이 들 것이다. 간단하고 경제적이며 보다 효과적인 분리침적지(Segregated Landfill)가 대신에 제안되고 있다.

Because of causing the geometrical transformation of the magnetic field, the patient implementing the fixation using the nonmagnetic metal screw causes the magnetic susceptibility artifact at an image. Thus, in this research, the distortion measure of the image according to the frequency oblique direction conversion tried to be compared in the magnetic susceptibility artifact occurence. First, the itself phantom inserting the nonmagnetic metal screw of the titanium component was made and the region of interest was set up and the frequency oblique direction the anterior - back side was converted to the right-to-left direction in the axial image and a right-to-left was converted to the upper side - bottom side in the coronal plane and the upper - bottom side was converted to the anterior - back side in the sagittal plane and the distortion measure of the region of interest was compared, it observed. In a result, when converting the frequency oblique direction, the distortion difference of the region of interest could be confirmed and it is considered to enhance the diagnostics efficiency changing the oblique direction appropriately.

This study was conducted to examine the functionality of the fire retardant treated wood. The hygroscopic property, leaching resistance, metal corrosive efficacy and gas toxicity of retardant treated wood were analyzed. Sodium silicate was penetrated to the wood for making fire retardant treated wood. The subsequent treatment agents such as boric acid, ammonium borate, di-ammonium phosphate were treated after sodium silicate treatment due to fixation. As results for the test, the leaching resist was improved by subsequent treatment. The fire retardant combination such as sodium silicate, boric acid and di-ammonium phosphate showed high hygroscopic property, metal corrosive efficacy. The gas toxicity was also satisfied KS standard.

Although rare, the treatment options for a medial collateral avulsion fracture during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) range from conservative management using a cast and orthosis to internal fixation using metal screws. Bioabsorbable suture anchors have been used to replace metal fixators with distinct advantages, such as biocompatibility, radiolucency, and unnecessary second removal surgery, but complications, such as osteolysis, have been reported. This paper reports a potential risk of an extensive osteolysis-related suture anchor fixation of a medial collateral ligament (MCL) avulsion fracture during TKA in conjunction with a literature review.
