<P>PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of single-session OK-432 sclerotherapy for the treatment of renal cysts. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From October 2005 to November 2006, 48 patients (61 simple renal cysts) were included in the study. Indications were determined as flank discomfort (n = 37) or patient reassurance due to increasing size (n = 11). The simple renal cysts were aspirated under ultrasonography (US), at which point OK-432 was injected into the cyst. Follow-up was performed with US or computed tomography scan every 3 months until 1 year. Complete regression of the renal cyst or more than 70% reduction in size with no symptoms indicated a successful treatment. RESULTS: Among 61 renal cysts of 48 patients, the overall success rate was 98.4%. Complete regression occurred in 46 cysts (75.4%), and more than 90% reduction in size occurred in 6 cysts (9.8%). A size reduction of 80% to 90% and 70% to 80% occurred in five (8.2%) and three cysts (4.9%), respectively. A size reduction less than 70% occurred in only one cyst (1.6%). The success of cyst regression was correlated with cyst volume. Clinical symptoms resolved in 100% of patients with symptomatic cysts, and there was no enlargement of the aspirated cysts at the 1-year follow-up. After the procedure, there were only some minor complications, such as mild fever, flank pain, and leukocytosis, which subsided with the conservative treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous OK-432 sclerotherapy is simple, safe, and effective, and it can be an alternative first-line therapy for simple renal cysts.</P>

This study investigates the influence of cane length on the weight distribution of the elderly in a standing position. Thirsty participants were evaluated using two different cane lengths based on measurements of distal wrist crease to ground (WC cane), and distance of greater trochanter to ground (GT cane). A limloader was used to determine the weight distribution on the subject. It was found that 6.5% of body weight was supported on a GT cane and 7.7% of body weight supported on a WC cane in a standing position. Results suggests that more weight is distributed on a WC cane than a GT cane in the elderly.

The excessive initial corrosion rate of Mg is a critical limitation in the clinical application of biodegradable Mg implantsbecause the device loses its fi xation strength before the fractured bone heals. This study suggests a new approach to overcomethis hurdle by accelerating tissue regeneration instead of delaying the implant biodegradation. As angiogenesis is anessential process in early bone regeneration, a Mg implant coated with electrospun nanofi bers containing nitric oxide (NO),which physiologically promotes angiogenesis, is designed. The integrated device enables adjustable amounts of NO to bestored on the NO donor-conjugated nanofi ber coating, stably delivered, and released to the fractured bone tissue near theimplanted sites. An in vitro corrosion test reveals no adverse eff ect of the released NO on the corrosion behavior of the Mgimplant. Simultaneously, the optimal concentration level of NO released from the implant signifi cantly enhances tube networkformation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells without any cytotoxicity problem. This indicates that angiogenesis canbe accelerated by combining NO-releasing nanofi bers with a Mg implant. With its proven feasibility, the proposed approachcould be a novel solution for the initial stability problem of biodegradable Mg implants, leading to successful bone fi xation.

문제: 조직병리검사의 처방이 복잡하고 전문화됨에 따라 오류처방이 빈번하게 발생되고 이를 해결하기위한 프로세스가 복잡하여 부서간의 갈등과 업무의 가중, 또한 병원 수입 감소가 초래되었다. 목적: 발생된 오류처방의 유형과 발생율, 오류처방을 해결하기 위한 프로세스를 파악하여 이에 대한 문제점을 개선하여 업무의 효율성과 관련부서간의 부가업무 감소와 갈등해소, 더불어 병원수익을 향상시키는 것에 목표를 두고 활동하였다. 의료기관: 서울시에 소재한 종합병원 질 향상 활동: 조직병리검사 처방의 오류처방 발생 원인과 유형, 발생율을 조사하여 원인을 파악하고 개선을 위한 프로세스를 구축하여 질 향상을 도모하였다. 개선효과: 수술실에서 의뢰한 외과 입원환자의 일반조직병리검사 오류율은 개선 전 7.8%에서 개선 후 3.5%, 동결절편조직검사 오류율은 개선 전 28.6%에서 개선 후 0%로 이전보다 모두 개선되었다. 또한 수술실 간호사의 업무 만족도는 일반조직병리검사의 처방시 95%, 동결절편조직검사 처방시 90%로 높은 만족도를 보였다. 단 병리과의 경우 업무가 증가됨에 따라 초과근무시간이 증가하였다.

Giuseppe Verdi의 오페라 무대의상 연구 : Concerning to La Traviata La Traviata 의 경우

The purpose of this study was to investigate how to express wearing style through characters and images of dramatis personae based on 「La Traviata」s played by 3 different directors : Mario Lanfranchi's performance, Franco Zeffirelli's performance and Richard Eyre's performance, with actual approach and costume expression of Opera by considering expressional characteristics of wearing style on Stage costume. First, stage costumes of each performance have the common expressional characteristics ; Silhouette shows historical setting, material and color shows characters and images of dramatis personae, details and trimming to make images more effective express characteristics ·social class ·personality ·images of the cast. As the plot progresses, main subject and atmosphere are expressed with darker color. It brings catastrophe. That means that even if each performance has been made in different year and by different director, whole atmosphere, color and materials of all stage costumes are closely similar. Second, stage costumes of the Opera has a tendency to be simplified around the late 20 century. Works of the middle 20 century use gay details and excessive trimming while works of the late 20 century use silhouette to express the historial setting and use the simple design but detail and trimming. Third, the recent stage costumes emphasize simple wearing style and symbolic representation of the cast including historical circumstances. That means unique clothes, stage costumes, follows simple and functional trend of daily dress. As the stage costume applies the popular trend, costumes style is getting simplified and adornment is getting disappeared. Modernism of the late 1900's might effect this trend. As conclusion, stage costume expression of Opera shows the current and the background which the symbol applies to and expresses characteristics of the cast. The stage costume plays a symbolic role in delivering the plot like dumb lines of Opera. That is, stage costume of composite art, Opera, plays a very important role as one of visual factors to elevate the atmosphere

EEPS is a newly introduced instrument for size distribution measurement of engine exhaust particles. It can measure nano-particles with an adequate resolution and in real time. In this study, the characteristics of EEPS were compared with ELPI and SMPS. EEPS showed a same effect of engine load on the size distribution with ELPI and SMPS. But the quantitative results of EEPS weremore similar to SMPS than ELPI, because the EEPS and SMPS use a same principle for classifying particles by size. The capability for transient measurement of EEPS was equivalent to that of ELPI. Additionally, the effects of dilution ratio and heating the dilution gas on the size distribution of the diesel particles werestudied using a rotating cavity type diluter.

The purpose of this study were to find the actual condition of the co-operative group farming in Korea, and to improve the low income Saemaul villages by the adoption of good points in co-operative Group farming. There were so many co-operative farmings in Korea, but all of them were not so successful, Eight co-operative group farmings were chosen to investigate for the above purposes. (Table 1). The tendency of agricultural income was not always true. First of all, Co-op Poultry farm did not follow the order of agricultural income. Because there was an excellent leader who had eliminated the circulation expenses in process of the purchase of feeds and the sale of eggs in common, Second, Seachiodong flower were devived into two parts the cultural flower and the sale flower. The cultural flower meant mainly producing flowers and the sale flower mainly selling flowers to downtown shops in Seoul. The income per householder of the cultual flower was less than that of the sale flower. Consequently, sucessful Co-operative Group farmings had an able leader, and performed production and sale more reasonablly.

In this paper higher order spectral techniques are applied to some simple mechanical systems. The system studied is the nonlinear magnetic beam. This is a simply supported beam, driven by an electromagnetic shaker. At the free end, pairs of repelling magnets are placed. By varying the position and number of magnets, the nature of the nonlinearity can be changed, be it skewed or symmetric, and by varying the distance between the magnets the strength of the nonlinearity can also be altered. Using this controllable system, auto higher order spectral methods are applied, assuming only a knowledge of an output signal.
