A three-year-old male jindo with generalized skin lesions (including seborrhea, hyperk- eratosis, alopecia, papules, and ecchymoses), pruritus lymph node enlargement, and fever was brought to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National Uni- versity. There were no laboratory findings for parasites and fungi in the hair and skin But, the com- plete blood counts (CBC) showed leukocytosis and severe cosinophilia, It was suspected to be an inflammatory and allergic dermatitis. Thus, prednisoIone (0.5 mg/kg PO, BID for 1 week) and ampi- cillin (10 mg/kg PO, BID for 1 week given. One week later, pruritus and ecchymoses were reduced. These treatments were repeated for 7 day again. Three months later, the dog was presented again due to the relapse and exacerbation of the clinical signs. The signs were as follows; severe pru- ritus, vesicobullous skin lesions, anorexia, emaciation, lameness, and welling of carpal joints that showed inflammatory skin lesion and draining of synovia-like fluid. The values of WBC counts were returned to normal ranges. In contrast, eosinophilia was still observed. Coombs test for patient RBC and serum were negative. Hypoalbuminemia (2.5g/dl) was shown by serum chemistry. The uri- nalysis revealed and presence of leukocytes. Luxation finding of right radial carpal joint by polyarthritis was shown in radiography of affected joints.Lupus eryhematosus(LE) cells also appeared in peripheral blood and synovial fluid of affected joints. Definitely, antinuclear antibody (ANA) of patient serum using feline peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by all immu- nofluorescence. Based on these findings such as sedum ANA-Positive. major signs (skin disease, non- erosive polyarthritis with soft tissue swelling. and proteinuria), minor signs (fever), and LE cell-pos- itive, a diagnosis of systemic lupus crythematosus (SLE) was mad\ulcorner in this dog. The dog with SLE was administered with Pre(2.0 mg/kg PO, BID for first 4 week and then QOD) to inhibit the production of autoantibodies and with ampicillin (10 mg/kg PO, BID for first 4 weeks and then QOD) to prevent the secondary infection. The condition of this dog was monitored every 2 weeks by physical examinations, radiography, CBC, serum chemistry and urinalyais. At 8th week of treat- ment, the state of SLE evaluated by physical examinations and laboratory findings was markedly improved except for proteinura.

Objectives : Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract was identified mainly for diarrhea, stomachache, hemafecia. The source and pathologic mechanism about ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease are still unknown but stress, infection, a genetic factor, environmental factors etc. may be the cause of chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract recently. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of herbal acupuncture with Artemisiae Argyi for the treatment to intestinal disease in the rat with 2, 4, 6 - trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) induced colitis. Methods : Artemisiae Argyi Herbal acupunctures were infected in HapGok (LI4) which is used to treat for intestinal disease in clinic. All animals were subjected to the injection of saline (300 ${\mu}l$, 500 ${\mu}l$) for a study control and TNBS (300 ${\mu}l$, 500 ${\mu}l$) into the lumen of the colon, 8cm proximal to the anus through the intestine. Artemisiae Agryi' Herbal (20 mg/ml, 0.4 ml) acupunctures were injected to the LI4 (both hands) at the secondary injection time of TNBS in rats. And body weight, RBC count, WBC count, total protein, Paw edema rate, rate of protein leakage into CMC-pouch fluid, IgG levels and IgM levels were observed to study the effects of Artemisiae Argyi' Herbal acupuncture in HapGok (Ll4). Results : Artemisiae Argyi' Herbal acupuncture in HapGok (Ll4) on TNBS-induced colitis inhibit the body weight lose rate but not RBC and WBC count. Furthermore, it inhibited the reduction of total protein concentration, paw edema, rate of protein leakage into CMC-pouch fluid, IgG levels and IgM levels. Conclusions : Herbal acupuncture with Artemisiae Argyi helps recover the TNBS-induced colonic damage and may be an important method for treatment of the colitis.

Observations of dark matter dominated dwarf and low surface brightness disk galaxies favor density profiles with a flat-density core, while cold dark matter (CDM) N-body simulations form halos with central cusps, instead. This apparent discrepancy has motivated a re-examination of the microscopic nature of the dark matter in order to explain the observed halo profiles, including the suggestion that CDM has a non-gravitational self-interaction. We study the formation and evolution of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos. We find analytical, fully cosmological similarity solutions for their dynamics, which take proper account of the collisional interaction of SIDM particles, based on a fluid approximation derived from the Boltzmann equation. The SIDM particles scatter each other elastically, which results in an effective thermal conductivity that heats the halo core and flattens its density profile. These similarity solutions are relevant to galactic and cluster halo formation in the CDM model. We assume that the local density maximum which serves as the progenitor of the halo has an initial mass profile ${\delta}M / M {\propto} M^{-{\epsilon}$, as in the familiar secondary infall model. If $\epsilon$ = 1/6, SIDM halos will evolve self-similarly, with a cold, supersonic infall which is terminated by a strong accretion shock. Different solutions arise for different values of the dimensionless collisionality parameter, $Q {\equiv}{\sigma}p_br_s$, where $\sigma$ is the SIDM particle scattering cross section per unit mass, $p_b$ is the cosmic mean density, and $r_s$ is the shock radius. For all these solutions, a flat-density, isothermal core is present which grows in size as a fixed fraction of $r_s$. We find two different regimes for these solutions: 1) for $Q < Q_{th}({\simeq} 7.35{\times} 10^{-4}$), the core density decreases and core size increases as Q increases; 2) for $Q > Q_{th}$, the core density increases and core size decreases as Q increases. Our similarity solutions are in good agreement with previous results of N-body simulation of SIDM halos, which correspond to the low-Q regime, for which SIDM halo profiles match the observed galactic rotation curves if $Q {\~} [8.4 {\times}10^{-4} - 4.9 {\times} 10^{-2}]Q_{th}$, or ${\sigma}{\~} [0.56 - 5.6] cm^2g{-1}$. These similarity solutions also show that, as $Q {\to}{\infty}$, the central density acquires a singular profile, in agreement with some earlier simulation results which approximated the effects of SIDM collisionality by considering an ordinary fluid without conductivity, i.e. the limit of mean free path ${\lambda}_{mfp}{\to} 0$. The intermediate regime where $Q {\~} [18.6 - 231]Q_{th}$ or ${\sigma}{\~} [1.2{\times}10^4 - 2.7{\times}10^4] cm^2g{-1}$, for which we find flat-density cores comparable to those of the low-Q solutions preferred to make SIDM halos match halo observations, has not previously been identified. Further study of this regime is warranted.

How is the flow in a rotating impeller. About 35 years have passed since one experimentalist rotating with the impeller. of a huge centrifugal blower made the flow measurements using a hot-wire anemometer (Fowler 1968). Optical measurement methods have great advantages over the intrusive methods especially for the flow measurement in a rotating impeller. One is the optical flow visualization (FV) technique (Senoo, et al., 1968) and the other is the application of laser velocimetry (LV) (Hah and Krain, 1990). Particle image velocimetries (PIVs) combine major features of both FV and LV, and are very attractive due to the feasibility of simultaneous and multi-points measurements (Hayami and Aramaki, 1999). A high-pressure-ratio transonic centrifugal compressor with a low-solidity cascade diffuser was tested in a closed loop with HFC134a gas at 18,000rpm (Hayami, 2000). Two kinds of measurement techniques by image processing were applied to visualize a flow in the compressor. One is a velocity field measurement at the inducer of the impeller using a PIV and the other is a pressure field measurement on the side wall of the cascade diffuser using a pressure sensitive paint (PSP) measurement technique. The PIV was successfully applied for visualization of an unsteady behavior of a shock wave based on the instantaneous velocity field measurement (Hayami, et al., 2002b) as well as a phase-averaged velocity vector field with a shock wave over one blade pitch (Hayami, et al., 2002a. b). A violent change in pressure was successfully visualized using a PSP measurement during a surge condition even though there are still some problems to be overcome (Hayami, et al., 2002c). Both PIV and PSP results are discussed in comparison with those of laser-2-focus (L2F) velocimetry and those of semiconductor pressure sensors. Experimental fluid dynamics (EFDs) are still growing up more and more both in hardware and in software. On the other hand, computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) are very attractive to understand the details of flow. A secondary flow on the side wall of the cascade diffuser was visualized based either steady or unsteady CFD calculations (Bonaiuti, et al.,2002). EFD and CFD methods will be combined to a hybrid method being complementary to each other. Measurement techniques by image processing as well as CFD calculations give a huge amount of data. Then, data mining technique will become more important to understand the flow mechanism both for EFD and CFD.

연구배경 : 저자들은 기관지 내시경 검사상 관찰된 탄분 섬유화증(Anthracofibrosis, 이하 AF)과 결핵과의 연관성을 기관지 내시경 검체 결핵 PCR을 이용하여 알아보고자 하였고, 또한 결핵 PCR이 AF에 동반된 활동성 폐결핵의 신속한 진단에 도움이 되는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 기관지 내시경 검사상 기관지 협착이나 폐쇄를 동반한 기관지 점막의 탄분 침착을 갖는 25명의 여성과 5명의 남자를 포함한 총 30명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 기관지 세척액과 AF부위 조직을 대상으로 Mycobacterium tuberculosis의 IS6110분절을 대상으로 하는 PCR을 시행하였고, 또한 환자의 세균학적 검사 결과, 임상상, 및 임상경과를 분석하고 비교하였다. 결 과 : 임상분석상 18명(60%)이 결핵과 연관되어 있었고, 이 중 9명은 과거에 결핵을 앓은 병력이 있었으며 나머지 9명은 세균학적 검사상 활동성 결핵으로 판명되었다. 객담과 기관지 세척액에서 항산균 도말은 4명에서 양성 소견을 보였고, 항산균 배양양성은 9명 (30%)이었으며 AF의 조직검사 상 결핵을 보인 경우는 모두 5명이었다. 기관지 세척액과 AF조직에서의 TB-PCR은 각각 11명(37%), 5명(17%)에서 양성 소견을 보였다. PCR방법은 항산균 도말보다 폐결핵 진단에 민감하였으며 (민감도 89% vs 22%, respectively, p<0.05) AF조직에서 결핵으로 진단된 5명의 환자 모두 AF조직 및 기관지 세척액에서 TB-PCR 양성소견을 보였다. TB-PCR 양성이면서 조직학적 또는 세균학적으로 결핵의 증거를 보이지 않았던 3명의 환자 중 2명은 임상적으로 활동성 결핵이 의심되었고 나머지 한명은 과거에 결핵을 앓은 적이 있었던 환자이었다. 결 론 : 세균학적 및 조직학적 결핵 진단법과 비교하여 TB-PCR 방법이 추가로 AF와 결핵과의 연관성을 밝혀내지는 못하였으나, 기관지 세척액 TB-PCR은 AF와 동반된 활동성 폐결핵의 신속한 진단에는 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 조직학적 검사상 결핵의 증거가 없이 AF소견만 보인 모든 조직에서 결핵 PCR음성을 보인 점은 AF 병변 자체가 결핵의 감염 부위이거나 활동성 결핵 자체이기 보다는 결핵에 의한 이차적인 변화일 가능성이 높을 것으로 생각된다.

연구 지역에 분포하는 회장암체는 분포상태와 임상에 의해 북쪽의 산청회장암체와 남쪽의 하동회장암체로 구분된다. 이들 회장암체 내에 발달했던 열수시스템의 특성에 대해 알아보기 위해 산소와 수소 안정 동위원소 조성을 측정해 보았다 연구 지역에 있는 회장암체의 $\delta$$^{18}$ $O_{plagioclase}$ 값은 공간적인 분포에 따라 서로 다른 값을 가지는 특징을 보여준다. 즉 북쪽에 분포하는 산천회장암체 사장석의 $\delta$$^{18}$ O 값은 맨틀기원의 신선한 회장암의 전형적인 값(6-6.5$\textperthousand$)보다 더 무거운 값인 7.3-8.8$\textperthousand$ 사이의 값으로서, 비교적 좁은 범위의 값을 갖는 특징을 보여준다. 이와는 달리 남쪽에 분포하는 하동회장암체 사장석은 -4.4-8.2$\textperthousand$ 사이의 넓은 범위의 $\delta$$^{18}$ O 값을 가지며, 맨틀기원의 신선한 회장암의 전형적인 값보다 낮은 $\delta$$^{18}$ O 값을 가진다. 연구 지역의 중간 지역에 분포하는 회장암을 구성하는 사장석은 북쪽 지역의 사장석과 남쪽 지역의 사장석이 갖는 $\delta$$^{18}$ O 값의 중간 값을 갖는다. $\delta$$^{18}$ O 값의 이러한 공간적인 분포는 지역에 따i가 서로 다른 열수시스템이 발달되었음을 지시한다. 즉, 연구 지역의 남쪽 지역에서는 천수에 의해 발달된 열수시스템이 우세하게 발달한 반면에, 북쪽 지역에서는 마그마 기원의 유체에 의해 발달된 열수시스템이 우세하였다. 회장암의 수소 안정 동위원소 조성과 이들 전암 내에 들어있는 물의 함량과의 관계는 정의 관계를 보여주며, 이러한 결과는 회장암질암을 형성한 마그마의 분화작용이 일어나는 동안에 용리작용(exolution)에 의해서 마그마로부터 분리된 유체가 자생변질작용을 일으킴으로써 초생 보통휘석을 각섬석으로 변화시켰음을 지시해준다. 이러한 자생변질작용이 일어난 이후에, 천수기원의 유체에 의해 형성된 열수시스템이 연구 지역의 남쪽에 발달함으로써 마그마에서 유래한 유체에 의한 열수시스템의 흔적이 지워져버렸다. 그러나 북쪽에 있는 산청회장암체는 이 열수시스템에 의한 영향을 거의 받지 않고 마그마 기원의 유체에 의해 형성되었던 열수시스템의 흔적을 잘 기록하고 있다. 연구 지역의 북쪽에 분포하는 산청암체 보다 남쪽에 분포하는 하동암체에서 견운모, 방해석, 녹니석과 같은 이차 변질광물들이 더 많이 관찰되는 것은 이 지역에서 중첩되어 발달되었던 열수시스템과 관련이 있는 것으로 생각된다.

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and portomesenteric venous gas are uncommon radiological findings, but are found commonly in cases of bowel ischemia, or as a result of various non-ischemic conditions. A 72-year-old man visited an emergency center with altered mental status 2 hours after ingestion of an unknown pesticide. On physical examination, he showed the characteristic hydrocarbon or garlic-like odor, miotic pupils with no response to light, rhinorrhea, shallow respiration, bronchorrhea, and sweating over his face, chest and abdomen. Laboratory results revealed decreased serum cholinesterase, as well as elevated amylase and lipase level. We made the clinical diagnosis of organophosphate poisoning in this patient based on the clinical features, duration of symptoms and signs, and level of serum cholinesterase. Activated charcoal, fluid, and antidotes were administered after gastric lavage. A computerized tomography scan of the abdomen with intravenous contrast showed acute pancreatitis, poor enhancement of the small bowel, pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis, portomesenteric venous gas and ascites. Emergent laparotomy could not be performed because of his poor physical condition and refusal of treatment by his family. The possible mechanisms were believed to be direct intestinal mucosal damage by pancreatic enzymes and secondary mucosal disruption due to bowel ischemia caused by shock and the use of inotropics. Physicians should be warned about the possibility of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and portomesenteric venous gas as a complication of pancreatitis following anticholinesterase poisoning.

In this study, an ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) is investigated for a low-temperature geothermal power generation by a simulation method. A steady-state simulation model is developed to analyze cycle's performance. The model contains a turbine, a pump, an expansion valve and heat exchangers. The turbine and pump are modelled by an isentropic efficiency. Simulations were carried out for the given heat source and sink inlet temperatures, and given flow rate that is based on the typical power plant thermal-capacitance-rate ratio. HFC-245fa is considered as a working fluid of the cycle. Simulation results, at the given secondary working fluids conditions, show that even though the power can be presented by both the evaporating temperature and the turbine inlet superheat, it depends on the evaporating temperature primarily.
