Glomus tumours are vascular hamartomas that are commonly found in the hand, particularly the subungual region. They appear as solitary or multiple tumours, and often present as a bluish discoloration of the nail plate. Different diagnostic tests are outlined, as well as imaging studies such as magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound. Misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis of these tumours are common, while a familial tendency is a potential risk factor but not yet proven. Complete surgical excision often results in complete symptomatic relief, while recurrences are largely due to incomplete excision or the growth of a new glomus tumour. This article aims to review the key aspects of glomus tumours and provide a diagnostic algorithm so that the lesion can be recognized and treated earlier.

It is well known that the celiac plexus block is specially useful for relieve intractable upper abdominal pain caused by upper abdominal visceral malignancy or upper abdominal metastasis from distant organs. But in cases of lower abdominal or pelvic metastasis from upper abdominal malignancy, the lower abdominal intractable pain is remained after the successful celiac plexus block. We have reported 7 cases of celiac plexus block combined with lumbar sympathetic ganglion block, among the 305 cases of the celiac plexus block from 1968 to Nov. 1987, performed in patients with lower abdominal or back pain due to carcinomatosis of lower abdominal metastatic malignancy, that their results were excellent for pain relief.

Adhesion strength of electroless-plated Ni, Ni-P and Cu deposites on alumina substrate has been studied. Grain boundary spaces produced on the substrate surface by etching treatment provided anchoring sites for enhancing the adhesion strength. Adhesion strengths of Ni-P and Ni deposit were higher than that of Cu deposit, because of higher initial nucleation rates than the latter. The electroless-plated Ni-P and Ni underlayer improved the adhesion strength of the Cu deposit. In could be attributed to the enhanced adhesion between the substrate and those underlayers as well as the satisfactory adhesion between Cu deposits and those underlayers. Heat treatment was also conducted in order to enhance the adhesion strength of Cu layer. The strength was enhanced by about 19% when the treatment was conducted at $150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The enhancement was attributed to relief of internal stress and release of hydrogen.

The treatment of anterior disc displacement without reduction patients needs speicific treatment methods different from other Craniomandibular Disorders. Those are manual manipulation, anterior repositioning splint; ARS and step-back. It is well known that the use of Anterior Repositioning Splint is effective on relief of TMJ symptom. But the side effect of long- term ARS wearing, which is irreversible posterior open bite induction, has made many clinicians avoid ARS treatment. This report introduces a clinical case recently proven part- time wearing ARS method for treatment of Disc Displacement without reduction patient' that can reduce side effects with good efficacy. But now clinical statistical studies and basical histophysiological studies are more needed.

Nano transfer printing and micro contact printing is well known printing method based on soft lithography which uses conformal soft elastomer with designed surface relief structures. Here I introduce another class of novel 3D nanofabrication technique by using the same elastomer but in a different manner. The approach, which we refer to as proximity field nanopatterning, uses the surface-reliefed elastomers as phase masks to pattern thick layers of transparent, photosensitive materials. Aspects of the optics, the materials, and the physical chemistry associated with this method are outlined. A range of 3D structures illustrate its capabilities, and several application examples demonstrate possible areas of use in technologies ranging from microfluidics to photonic materials to density gradient structures for chemical release and high-energy density science.

Although postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a common chronic pain syndrome, the pathophysiology of this disorder is not well known and management is often very difficult. N-methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists are known to be effective in PHN, and magnesium, a physiological blocker of NMDA receptors, is widely used to treat various chronic pain disorders. Here, we present a case of the PHN refractory to conventional treatment, which was treated successfully with transforaminal epidural injection of magnesium sulphate at the affected dermatome.

Many new radar techniques have appeared on the electronic scene in recent years, such as a variety of automatic computer processing. However, even with the advent of these sophisticated radar techniques, an old problem continues to plague all radars: the problem of transmission line losses. With the higher performance required today, the Waveguide testing and trouble-shooting techniques remain essentially unchanged in principle. This paper dealt with the rf pulse "Time-domain Reflectometry" to inspect radar wave-guide system and compared with the conventional methods. During the investigation, it was verified that the pulsed TDR for wave-guide is superior to the conventional methods; 1. Disassembling is not needed to locate the discontinity points and measure the reflections of trobled points. 2. The results of the data are more precise. 3. The condition of individual component is able to the photographed and recorded permanently. 4. Since rf pulse TDR is based on the well-known basic radar principle, such a test set requires the minimum of training to operate. With the level of transmission line problems, the prospect of increasing complexity of equipment, and no relief in sight, the benifits must be emphasizied to adopt such a testing procedure.procedure.

This study describes a dynamic model of the hydroforming process which is used for precision forming of sheet metals. To help the controller design for the control of the forming pressure needed for this process as well as to investigate the effect of system parameters on the dynamic behavior, dynamic modeling is performed with emphasis on hydraulic servo system which actuates the forming machine. Since the model contains several unknown parameters, these were estimated via a least square parameter identification method. Based upon the identified model, a series of simulations were performed for various operating conditions. The results were compared with those of the experiments to verify the validity of the proposed model. The comparison study shows that the proposed dynamic model can describe dynamic behavior of the forming pressure of the hydroforming process to desirable accuracy.

The neuropathic pain caused by lumbosacral plexopathy as a sequela to extensive pelvic and sacral fractures is rare because many posttraumatic cases remain undiagnosed as a result of the high mortality associated with these types of injury and because of the survivors of multiple trauma, including pelvic fractures, frequently have an incomplete work-up. Although surgical treatments for medically refractory lumbosacral plexus avulsion pain have been reported, an effective surgical technique for pain relief in lumbosacral plexopathy has not been well documented. We describe the effectiveness of spinal cord stimulation [SCS] in a patient suffering from severe neuropathic pain caused by lumbosacral plexopathy after an extensive pelvic fracture.

In this Study, the search and analysis for the contents of the mass media, especially, such as newspaper articles, broadcast campaigns, broadcating advertisings, the Internet, etc, are accomplished under the assumption that the cause of the negative and fragmentary images about Africa holds a place in Korea's heart resulting from Korean mass media. Africa was seen as not only the continent of famine and diseases, but also a safari and the Nature's repository. However, these images are only the fragments of information about the African continent. So, we have to understand and recognize the origin of Africa in aspect of its learning and the mythology as well as the truth of the African as modern human origins. Moreover, we have to do our endeavor to have a good perspective about Africa as our future partner somewhat less than the wretched continent that we applaud their effort to the pursuit of stability and the development in terms of their modern cities, economy and politics and we have to aid and send relief cargoes simply.
