Objective : Acupuncture has been widely used throughout the world for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (knee OA). This study investigated whether acupuncture, particularly Sa-am acupuncture, could be effective in relieving pain and improving the symptoms of knee OA. Method : This study was conducted as a prospective, randomized, controlled, and patient- and investigator-blinded clinical trial. Forty volunteers with knee OA participated in the study. All participants were screened through an inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thirty four participants completed the clinical trial. In total, forty subjects were randomly selected to receive Sa-am acupuncture. Eight sessions of acupuncture were given at the contralateral side of the problematic knee for 4 weeks. Korean translation of Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (KWOMAC) scores were measured twice: at the beginning and end of the clinical trial period. Both the Patient Global Assessment and physical health scores based on the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey were also used to measure the results. Results : Compared to the pre-trial scores, the Sa-am acupuncture group (n=34) showed a significant decrease in KWOMAC total scores according to a paired t-test. The Sa-am acupuncture group also showed significant improvement in the Patient Global Assessment when compared to the pre-trial. Conclusions : Sa-am acupuncture for knee OA resulted in an improved KWOMAC total score. This was mostly driven by the function component score that was greatly affected by acupuncture. However, further studies with expanded designs are needed to solidify this finding with scientific rigor.

<P>Iron-nitrogen on carbon (Fe-N/C) catalysts have emerged as promising nonprecious metal catalysts (NPMCs) for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in energy conversion and storage devices. It has been widely suggested that an active site structure for Fe-N/C catalysts contains Fe-N-x coordination. However, the preparation of high-performance Fe-N/C catalysts mostly involves a high-temperature pyrolysis step, which generates not only catalytically active Fe-N-x sites, but also less active large iron-based particles. Herein, we report a general 'silica-protective-layer-assisted' approach that can preferentially generate the catalytically active Fe-N-x sites in Fe-N/C catalysts while suppressing the formation of large Fe-based particles. The catalyst preparation consisted of an adsorption of iron porphyrin precursor on carbon nanotube (CNT), silica layer overcoating, high-temperature pyrolysis, and silica layer etching, which yielded CNTs coated with thin layer of porphyrinic carbon (CNT/PC) catalysts. Temperature-controlled in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy during the preparation of CNT/PC catalyst revealed the coordination of silica layer to stabilize the Fe-N-4 sites. The CNT/PC catalyst contained higher density of active Fe-N-x sites compared to the CNT/PC prepared without silica coating. The CNT/PC showed very high ORR activity and excellent stability in alkaline media. Importantly, an alkaline anion exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC) with a CNT/PC-based cathode exhibited record high current and power densities among NPMC-based AEMFCs. In addition, a CNT/PC-based cathode exhibited a high volumetric current density of 320 A cm(3) in acidic proton exchange membrane fuel cell. We further demonstrated the generality of this synthetic strategy to other carbon supports.</P>

Original Article : Inter-Device Agreement of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measurements Using Spectral Domain Cirrus HD OCT

( Sa Min Hong ),( Yeong Jun Kim ),( Jong Woo Shim ),( Chan Yun Kim ),( Gong Je Seong ) 대한안과학회 2011 Korean Journal of Ophthalmology Vol.25 No.2

Purpose: To assess the inter-device agreement of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements by 2 spectral domain Cirrus HD optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices in healthy Korean subjects. Methods: Eleven eyes of 11 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the present study. Each eye was scanned with the Optic Disc Cube 200 × 200 scan of 2 Cirrus HD OCT devices for peripapillary RNFL thickness calculation. The inter-device agreements of the 2 Cirrus HD OCTs for average, quadrant, and clock-hour RNFL thickness values were determined with Wilcoxon signed rank test, Friedman test, Cronbach`s alpha (α), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), coefficient of variation (COV), and Bland-Altman plot. Results: The mean age of the participants was 25.82 ± 3.28 years and all had a 0.00 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution of best-corrected visual acuity. The signal strengths of scans from the 2 Cirrus HD OCT were not significantly different (p = 0.317). The inter-device agreement of average RNFL thickness was excellent (α, 0.940; ICC, 0.945; COV, 2.45 ± 1.52%). However, the agreement of nasal quadrant RNFL thickness was not very good (α, 0.715; ICC, 0.716; COV, 5.72 ± 4.64%). Additionally, on the Bland-Atman plot, the extent of agreement of the 2 Cirrus HD OCTs for RNFL thickness was variable ccording to scanned sectors. Conclusions: The inter-device agreement of 2 spectral domain Cirrus HD OCT devices for peripapillary RNFL thickness measurements was generally excellent but variable according to the scanned area. Thus, physicians should consider this fact before judging a change of RNFL thicknesses if they were measured by different OCT devices.

발효부산물 오니의 시용이 열무 생장과 토양화학성에 미치는 영향

사동민,홍순달,석영선 한국환경농학회 2001 한국환경농학회지 Vol.20 No.1

항생물질 발효산업 부산물인 부산물오니의 농업적 활용성을 검토하기 위하여 98년 5월과 8월 두 차례 열무의 생장량 및 토양 화학성에 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 오니의 처리수준은 열무의 표준시비량(N-P₂O-K₂O=160-59-104 ㎏/㏊)을 대조구로 하여 오니 및 관행퇴비를 각각 1000 ㎏/㏊ 씩 추가 시용 하는 오니 및 퇴비 첨가구 와 오니 및 퇴비 각각에 함유된 질소량의 30%를 질소 시용량에서 공제하는 질소공제 오니 및 퇴비구 등 5개 처리로 비교하였다. 오니 첨가구 및 질소공제 오니구의 열무 발아율과 초기생육은 대조구, 퇴비 첨가구 및 질소공제 퇴비구에 비하여 부진하였다. 이는 미분해된 오니의 토양중 분해과정에서 생성될 수 있는 암모니아가스 피해에 기인된 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 수확기의 열무 수량은 오니 첨가구 및 질소공제 오니구를 포함한 모든 처리구간에 1차 및 2차 시험 모두 유의성 있는 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 이는 오니의 시용에 의한 열무의 생육이 후반기에 빠르게 증진되었다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 식물체의 질소함량과 토양의 무기태 질소 함량은 오니의 시용에 의하여 증가되는 경향이었으나 항생물질 cephalosporin-C는 열무의 지상부나 지하부 그리고 시험 후 토양에서 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 부산물오니는 유기물(750 g/㎏)과 전질소(56 g/㎏)를 많이 함유하고 유해 중금속 함량이 허용치 이하인 점을 고려할 때 양질의 유기물 자원으로서 농업적 활용가치가 인정되었다. To investigate the effects of waste sludge from antibiotic fermentation on the growth of young radish and chemical properties of soil, five levels of fertilizer, control (recommended fertilizer, N-P₂O_5-K₂O=160-59-104 ㎏/㏊), AS(control + sludge 1,000 ㎏/㏊), AC(control + conventional compost 1,000 ㎏/㏊), SNS(control - subtracting 30% N of sludge + sludge 1,000 ㎏/㏊) and SNC(control - subtracting 30% N of conventional compost + conventional compost 1,000 ㎏/㏊) were applied and radish was grown twice with same treatments on May and August in 1998. Germination rate and early growth of young radish grown with AS and SNS were lower than those grown in control and with AC, SNC. This negative effects by adding the sludge in the early growth seemed to be caused by damage of ammonia gas released during degradation of the sludge in soil. However, yield of young radish showed no significant difference among all the treatments including the AS and SNS at the 1st and 2nd experiment, and these suggested that the latter half of growth of young radish was accelerated by adding the sludge. Contents of T-N in young radish and inorganic N in soil showed a tendency to increase by adding the sludge while antibiotic substance, cephalosporin-C, was not detected in plant material and soils after harvest of young radish in both experiments. Consequently, waste sludge from antibiotic fermentation, which contains high levels of organic matter and nitrogen could be used as an useful resource in agriculture.

Long-term survival and prognosis of narrow-diameter implants have been reported to be adequate to consider them a safe method for treating a deficient alveolar ridge. The objective of this study was to perform case report of narrow-diameter implants with a trapezoid-shape in anterior teeth alveolar bone. A 50-year-old male patient presented with discomfort due to mobility of all of the maxillary teeth and mandibular incisors. Due to destruction of alveolar bone, four anterior mandibular teeth were extracted. Soft tissue healing was allowed for approximately 3 months after the extraction, and a new design of implant placement was planned for the mandibular incisor area, followed by clinical and radiological evaluation. Implant placement was determined using an R2GATE surgical stent. The stability of the implants was assessed by ISQ measurements at the first and second implant surgery and after prosthetic placement. At 1 and 3 months and 1 year after implantation of the prosthesis, clinical and radiological examinations were performed. Another 50-year-old male patient presented with discomfort due to mobility of the mandibular central incisors. For the same reason as in the first patient, implant placement was carried out in the same way after extraction. ISQ measurements and clinical and radiological examinations were performed as in the previous case. In these two clinical cases, 12 months of follow-up revealed that the implant remained stable without inflammation or additional bone loss, and there was no discomfort to the patient. In conclusion, computer-guided implant surgery was used to place an implant in an optimal position considering the upper prosthesis. A new design of a narrow-diameter implant with a trapezoid-shape into anterior mandibular alveolar bone is a less invasive treatment method and is based on the contour of the deficient alveolar ridge. Through all of these procedures, we were able to reduce the number of traumas during surgery, reduce the operation time and total treatment period, and provide patients with more comfortable treatment.
