Objective : Intracavitary injection of beta-emitting radiation source for control of cystic tumors has been tried with a benefit of localized internal radiation. The authors treated cystic brain tumor patients with Holmium-166-chitosan complex (Ho-166-chico), composed of a beta-emitting radionuclide Holmium-166 and biodegradable chit polymer, and evaluated the safety and effective measurement for response. Methods : Twenty-two patients with recurrent cystic brain tumor and/or located in a deep or eloquent area were enrolled in this pilot study. The cyst volume and wall thickness were determined on CT or MRI to assess radiological response. The activity of Ho-166-chico injected via Ommaya reservoir was prescribed to be 10-25 Gy to the cyst wall in a depth of 4 mm. Results : There was neither complications related to systemic absorption nor leakage of Ho-166-chico in all 22 patients. But, two cases of oculomotor paresis were observed in patients with recurrent craniopharyngioma. Radiological response was seen in 14 of 20 available follow-up images (70%). Seven patients of 'evident' radiological response experienced more than 25% decrease of both cyst volume and wall thickness. Another 7 patients with 'suggestive' response showed decrease of cyst volume without definitive change of the wall thickness or vice versa. All patients with benign tumors or low grade gliomas experienced symptomatic improvement. Conclusion : Ho-166-chico intracavitary radiation therapy for cystic tumor is a safe method of palliation without serious complications. The determination of both minimal effective dosage and time interval of repeated injection through phase 1 trial could improve the results in the future.

Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus (CNS) that is commonly found on the human perineal skin. Contrary to other CNS, S. lugdunensis is a rare contaminant in cultures and has the potential to cause clinically significant infections, including infective endocarditis. Infective endocarditis due to S. lugdunensis have been known to resemble endocarditis due to S. aureus because of its aggressive clinical course and high mortality. We report a case of infective endocarditis caused by S. lugdunensis in a 21-year-old woman. She was cured of the infection with surgical and antibiotic therapy. S. lugdunensis에 의한 감염성 심내막염은 국내에서보고가 없었던 매우 드물지만 다양한 합병증과 높은 사망률을 보이는 감염증이다. 저자들은 S. lugdunensis가 수술적 치료와 항생제 치료로 완치된 감염성 심내막염 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

우리나라와 같이 B형 간염 바이러스의 유병율이 높은 지역에서는 B형 간염 바이러스 뿐만 아니라 HCV에 대한 항 바이러스 효과도 동시에 시행함이 유용할 것으로 사료되었다. 본 연구에서는 茵蔯淸肝湯을 이용하여 B형 간염 바이러스에 대한 抗 바이러스 효과를 PCR을 이용하여 HBV의 DNA를 검색하였다. 茵蔯淸肝湯이 처리된 처리군의 경우 대조군에 비하여 농도 의존적으로 B형 간염 바이러스의 표면항원 생산을 억제하였고, PCR을 이용하여 증폭한 경우에도 증폭된 DNA의 양은 감소하였다. 또한 C형 간염 바이러스에 대한 抗 바이러스효과를 검색하기 위하여 복제에 필수적인 단백질인 HCV helicase의 ATPase에 대한 활성 억제 효과를 조사하였다. 茵蔯淸肝湯이 HCV helicase의 ATPase 활성을 억제하는 효과가 있음을 확인한 후 dose-respond에 따른 실험을 수행하여 HCV helicase의 ATPase 활성을 억제함으로써 탈인산화 되지 않은 ATP의 양을 이용하여 PSL로 분석한 결과 茵蔯淸肝湯이 HCV helicase의 ATPase 기능에 대한 억제효과가 우수함이 확인되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 茵蔯淸肝湯이 B형 및 C형 간염 치료에 동시에 응용될 수 있을것으로 사료된다. For the purpose of investigate the inhibition effects of Injinchunggantang on Hepatitis and C Virus. The inhibition experiments were as follows : 1. The inhibition effects of Hepatitis B surface antigen production was remarkably increased in the pretreated group of Injinchunggantang compared with control group. 2. Amplified PCR products of HBV-DNA in culture media was considerably decreased in the pretreated group of Injinchunggantang compared with control group. 3. Results of ATP quantitation and ATPase inhibition percent was increased pretreated group of Injinchunggantang. Also ATPase activity of HCV helicase inhibition assay was increased with a dose dependent manner. These results may suggest that Injinchunggantang will have the inhibition effects of Hepatitis B and C Virus.

The high coherence of laser beam has made it possible to observe interference effects even in the light scattered from rough surfaces. That's why, when object with a scattering surface is illuminated with laser light, we do see a speckled appearance due to random interference. This sort of unique property of laser speckle has brought into existence the new noncontacting techniques such as speckle metrology method of measuring deformation, displacement, and vibration etc of objects with high optical sensitivity. The measurable range of speckle metrology especially used to measure in-plane information, however, is limited by some factors, the so-called strain, rotation, tilt of surface and out of displacement perpendicular to the plane of analysis. This restrictions severly limits the measurable range of speckle metrology by causing the decorrelation of speckle patterns. It is the purpose of this paper to give a survey on the measurable limitation of speckle photography method that is one of speckle metrology. Namely we will discuss the mutual relationships and problems of each limitations adding the restriction of the largest and smallest displacement measurable with speckle methods.

Thioacetamide is a potent hepatotoxicant which requires metabolic activation by cytochrome P450s (P450s) for toxicity. In the present study, the elevation kinetic of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities by thioacetamide treatment was investigated in male BALB/c mice. Inaddition, the inhibitory effects of thioacetamide on liver microsomal P450 enzymes were further investigated. Thioacetamide at 100 mg/kg/ was treated intraperitoneally for 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72 hr. The blood was collected at the designated time for assaying the serum enzyme activities. To determine the P450 isozyme-specific activities. ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), methoxyresorufin O-demethylase (MROD), and benzyloxyresorufin O-debenzylase (BROD) activities were determined for P450 1A1, 1A2 and 2B1, respectively, in liver microsomal fractions. The activities of ALT and AST were started to be elevated 6 hr after thioacetamide treatment andreached the maximun at 36 hr after the treatment. The elevated activities were dramatically recovered at 72 hr. The microscopic exmination of the liver specimen also showed a similar profile of hepatotoxicity. All P450-associated enzyme activities were time-dependently inhibited by the treatiment with thioacetamide. The maximum inhibition of P450 enzymes was observed 36 hr after the treatment. Because the inhibition of P450 enzymes by thioacetamide was time-dependent, our present results suggest that thioacetamide might inhibit P450 enzymes in mechanism-based inactivation.

Loius I. Kahn thinks many inspiration and realized it, and seeks development being influenced from various things, is an architect who made his idea by philosophical value and idea. The thought about his light is suggestion of many thing to us. Design by Loius I. Kahn that teaches method that value and ideals which he believed philosophical truth that is hidden designing Form through Order and philosophy understand, and discovers beauty in the most ordinary target being possessed by passion for truth found essence of space with pure function through geometrical plane composition, and the outside form was by revelation of structure and plane by rule of order that any decoration does not exist, and found essence the architecture in form that is designed like this. As a result, outside form was consisted of geometrical repeatability of opening by use of essential material that displays purity mass built limit in plane and structural construction and use of light. Exposed structure of building directly because is grafted together to concept of ruins that find self-consciousness in essence of light and space in solid geometry form that structure combines as one unit with each space are appeared. Later, Khan's expression about faun was ripened and polished. He was designed naturally from fog in according to intuitional response of building essence without taking specification about some form. Did not show from expression to external form about light. To grasp change process of ideas how concept of order as essence of architecture which he seeks arrives from form to design is beaconed to organize new paradigm even if speak that we are living within new order system now.

It is necessary to understand fully the effects of wind forces on buildings, specially high-rise buildings in a large city. Air flows around a cubic-shaped model are investigated experimentally in the wind tunnel and simulated numerically. Pressure distributions and the corresponding pressure coefficients are determined by the experimental results. The pressure distribution results are compared with the numerical analysis. The software of FLOW3D Release 3.2.1 is used for numerical analyses. The numerical results for pressure distribution are in fairly good agreement with those of experiments.

Physiologcal flows of blood and Newtonian fluid in the bifurcated tube are numerically simulated. Velocity and pressure distributions along the axis in the bifurcated tube are obtained for three-dimensional, steady and physiological flows. For the given Reynolds number physiological flow characteristics of blood in the bifurcated tubes are quite different from those of steady flow. Velocity profiles along the bifurcated tube for physiological flows of blood are little higher than those of a Newtonian fluid having the same infinite-shear-rate viscosity as blood at positive inlet velocity, but little lower than those of a Newtonian fluid at negative inlet velocity.
