Background: Solar urticaria (SU) is an uncommon type of photodermatoses characterized by erythematous wheal with pruritus after sunlight exposure, which shows a female predominance. Only a few studies to analyze the clinical features of SU were reported in Asia. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the clinical and photobiological characteristics of SU in Korea. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients with SU who visited the department of dermatology, Konkuk university medical center from January 2005 to January 2020. Results: Of a total of 44 patients, 36 (81.8%) were male and 8 (18.2%) were female. The mean age at onset was 17.6 years (range, 5-47) and the mean threshold time was 19.7 minutes. Among 32 patients who underwent phototesting, the action spectrum most commonly implicated was ultraviolet (UV) A only in 12 (37.5%), and then visible light (415nm) only was responsible for SU in 8 (25.0%). Three patients (9.4%) were induced by both UVA and visible light (415nm). Even 4 patients (12.5%) were triggered by only natural sunlight. Serum immunoglobulin E levels were measured in 33 patients, and 17 (51.5%) showed values higher than normal. The treatment most widely used were oral antihistamine (43.2%), followed by phototherapy (13.6%). Conclusion: SU is a rare photodermatosis in Korea, which shows a male preponderance. In this study, UVA and visible light (415nm) were predominant action spectrum of SU.

Background Lack of universal replication system for hepatitis B virus with narrow host range and organ tropism has hampered to uncover the pathogenesis of HBV. Previously, we reported the essentiality of humoral milieu and its components toward HBV and hepatitis C virus survival/viability in vitro. Of these components, the precise role of enterohepatic humoral milieu such as bile acid (BA) on HBV cultivation in vitro and in vivo is unknown. Objective We explored whether BA, specifically taurochenodeoxycholic acid (tCDCA) would directly regulate the viral DNA and surface antigen expression of HBV in vitro, consequently rendering HBV to enter into human or murine immortalized hepatocytes, and non-hepatocytes. Result We found that higher concentration of taurochenodeoxycholic acid (tCDCA) is able to preserve the genomic stability of HBV in cell-free DMEM, showing higher the surface antigenicity than taurocholic acid (tCA). In line, we found that in vitro cell culture condition (100 μmol/L of tCDCA coupled with 1 × 108 g e/mL HBV) would be optimal for HBV entry into target cells. Using this, human (HepG2, Huh7), and rodent (Hepa1c1c7, H4-II-E) hepatoma cell lines were infected by HBV, as evidenced by the presence of HBV biomarkers (HBsAg, and HBV DNA in culture supernatant, as well as HBcAg in cell). Further, cellular entry test revealed that HBV is able to infect 12 different non-hepatic cell lines regardless of species, and organ/tissue, consequently reproducing progeny as confirmed by HBV biomarkers. Last, reinfection test showed that the progenies of HBV from immortalized HepG2, and Hepa1c1c7 cells are able to enter into each or vice versa naïve HepG2, and Hepa1c1c7 cells with or without BA. Conclusion This study demonstrates that enterohepatic humoral milieu such as BA, specifically tCDCA would directly regulate HBV DNA and its surface antigen expression in vitro, consequently rendering HBV to enter into human or murine immortalized hepatocytes, and non-hepatocytes. This is the first note to render HBV permissive to human or rodent hepatic and non-hepatic cells via sole manipulation of humoral milieu, thus establishing the platform for in vitro robust replication system of HBV.

Backgrounds : A total splenectomy was considered as the standard method to management of splenic injury. However, recently, splenic preservation has been emphasized because of the spleen ’s important immunologic function, especially in the young. This study was conducted to evaluate the safety and the indications of non-operative management of traumatic splenic injury. Methods : The medical records of 52 patients who were managed for traumatic splenic injury between Jan. 1, 1990, and Jun. 30, 1999, were evaluated. The clinical manifestations, the mecha-nism of injury, the diagnostic method, the grade of injury, the initial management, the initial treatment mode, treatment course, and complications were investigated. Results : Thirty(30) patients were initially treated medically with transfusions and intensive monitoring. A delayed operation was required in 9 patients (30%) who suffered a severe splenic injury more than grade III. Twenty-one(21) of the 30 patients (70%) who suffered a splenic injury less than grade III were successfully managed non-operatively. Nineteen(19) of the 22 patients (86%) who required an initial operation suffered a severe splenic injury more than grade III. There were differences between the non-operative and the operative groups in transfusion amount (1.1 vs 6.5 pints) and in hospital stay (14.8 vs 30.9 days). Conclusions : Non-opeartive management of traumatic splenic injury will be successful in patients who are hemodynamically stable with adequate resuscitation and a small amount of transfusion and who have suffered injuries below grade III.

초기의 산업시대에는 제품의 핵심기술에 의한 차별화로 독점시장을 형성할 수 있었다 그러나 산업혁명이래 계속 되어온 대량생산 기술의 발전은 핵심기술의 독점 기간을 단축시켰다. 그리고 100여 년이 지난 현재, 전 세계적인 기술 개발 경쟁에도 불구하고 기술의 보편화와 평준화 현상으로 인해 더 이상 핵심 기술만으로 타사 제품과의 차별화가 어려워지고 있다. 이렇게 제품의 기술적 차별화가 어려워지면서 기업은 자사의 제품이 타사의 제품과 구별되어 경쟁력을 획득하기 위해 디자인, 마케팅 등에 눈을 들리게 되었다. 현재 국내외의 각 자동차 업체에서는 기존의 부류와 차별화 되는 여러 가지 다양한 형태의 디자인을 선보이고 있다. 과학기술의 진보와 맞물린 인간의 삶의 풍요로움을 보다 독특하고 개성있는 자동차디자인의 변화를 가져다 주었고, 이재는 운송수단 자체만의 기능이 아닌 생활속 놀이문화의 한부분으로까지 변화되고 있는 것이다. 더 나아가 자연으로부터의 모방을 통해 소비자의 눈에 익숙한 디자인으로 이목을 끓기도 하는 이러한 새로운 형태의지자인을 통해 변화하는 자동차디자인의 흐름을 알아보고 다음 세대의 디자인을 고찰해 본다. At the beginning of the industrial age, monopolistic market system could be formed due to the distinction of the products core technology. However, the continuous growth of mass production technology since the Industrial Revolution reduced the monopoly period of the core technology. And today, 100 years later, even with the worldwide competition of technology development, it Is becoming more difficult to make a distinction from other companys product because of the generalization and equalization of the technology. For the difficulty of achieving products technical distinction from others, the enterprises turned to design and marketing to acquire competitiveness for Its own product, distinguishing from other companys product. Currently, domestic and international automobile industry has been introducing various forms of designs to distinguish themselves from the existing class. Progress of science and technology with the abundance In peoples life have brought on the change in the automobiles design to be more characteristic and unique, so it is becoming not only a simple transportation vehicle but a part of play culture within human life. Furthermore, by copying from nature, the design familiar to the consumers eyes gets attention and through these kinds of design wecan see the changing flew of the automobiles design and examine the design of next generation.

In the five years since 1993 Malaria has made a ceaseless attack on the native Koreans as an indigenously formed disease in addition to the imported one. This study was aimed at clinical symptoms and signs of Malaria which had occurred indigenously in Cheon-Nam. 18 cases were reviewed retrospectively in this study which was composed of 17 men and 1 woman. They were admitted to Chosun Hospital because of the indigenous Malaria in 1998. Fever and chill , the most frequent symptoms in early stages made a 100% occurrence followed by general myalgia(89%) and headache(83%). Physical examination of those admitted showed the splenomegaly most frequently in 61% of the patients. It took four to ten days to visit the hospital since the symptoms first occurred in the patients. Gametocytes among the Malarial life cycle were observed most commonly (91.3%) in the occurrence of the disease and the prestages of the life cycle as well. The hematologic abnormalities observed was Anemia(89%), Thrombocytopenia(61%), and Neutropenia(50%) in the order named. On the third hospital day since giving the standard Malarial drugs parasitemia decreased remarkably (1540/㎕ : Mean parasitic concentration) and 28th day of treatment no parasitemia were found. In conclusion the patients suffering from malaria in Cheon-Nam had been in an armistice area and the symptoms were so relatively mild that the responses to treatment were good and relapses occurred. But, it requires further epidemiologic survey and more concern about the indigenous Malaria.

The probability of failure is used to analyze the reliability of three dimensional slope failure, instead of conventional factor of safety. The strength parameters are assumed to be normal variated and beta variated. These are interval estimated under the specified confidence level and maximum like-lihood estimation. The pseudonormal and beta random variables are generated using the uniform probability transformation mehtod according to central limit theorem and rejection method. By means of a Monte-Carlo Simulation, the probability of failure is defined as; Pf=M/N N : Total number of trials M : Total number of failures Some of the conclusions derived from the case study include; 1. Three dimensional factors of safety are generally much higher than 2-D factors of safety. However situations appear to exist where the 3-D factor of safety can be lower than the 2-D factor of safety. 2. The F3/F2 ratio appears to be quite sensitive to c and Φand to the shape of the 3-D shear surface and the slope but not to be to the unit weight of soil. 3. In cases that strength parameters are assumed to be normal variated and beta variated, the relationships between safety factor and the probability of failure are fairly consistent, regardless of the shape of the 3-D shear surface and the slope. 4. As the c-value is increased, the probability of failure for the same safety factor is increased and as the Φ-value is increased, the probability of failure for the same safety factor is decreased.

A series of civil constructions and development near Pohang provinces have been activated recently. but the behaviour of weathered mudstone soils, consisting of most part pohang region have shown very different shear behaviour. And it has caused a lot of problems in constructing civil structures. Therefore It can be emphasized that we noticed the characteristic shear behaviour of weathered mudstone soils. Study of this soils is less reaserched comparing with the other soils. In this study, For the purpose of more careful and exact definitions of weathered mudstone soils even though the experiment was conducted only remoulded soil specimen, we applied constitutive equations to predict the shear strength of weathered mudstone soils. The constitutive equations being used in this study are the Cam-clay model and the Single-Hardening Stress-Strain model from Dr. Lade. The range of experiment have been restricted only Undrained shear strength, and we controlled the method of consolidation After all experiment, we have evaluated which constitutive equation was suitable for the weathered mudstone soils, and have tried to find out the shear characteristic of weathered mudstone soils around Pohang province.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect on oxygen inhibition layer(OIL) for the interfacial bonding between resin composite layers, including shear bond strength, fracture modes and degree of conversion. The first layer of specimen was filled with Z-250(shade A3) and was cured for 40s. The second layer of specimen was filled with same composite(shade A1) and was cured for 40s. The first layer of specimens for each group were prepared by methods as followings. Control(curing in atmospheric air), Group1(curing against Mylar strip), Group2(scrubbed with a acetonesoaked cotton), Group3(using Tescera light cup), Group4(using Tescera heat cup), Group5(stored in disti1led water for 30days at 37℃), Group6 (using bonding agent). The results were as follows: 1. There was no statistically significant different shear bond strength between control and group 1(p>0.05). 2. Group 2 showed significantly lower shear bond strength than control and group 1(p<0.05). 3. The observation of the fracture surface leads to the evidence that a major difference occurs in the case of control, group1 and group 3 samples which break mainly cohesively while the other groups break in majority adhesively. 4. The results of FTIR showed that the degree of conversion was the highest in group 2 and the lowest in control group(p<0.05). It can be concluded that an OIL is not necessary for bonding with composite resin. But if a reduced critical amount of the unreacted monomer is present, it was detrimental to bonding additional layers of composite. Further study, such as the quantitative analysis of the unreacted monomer are required. 복합레진의 적층계면에서 산소억제층(oxygen inhibition layer:이하 OIL)의 영향을 연구하기 위해, 아크릴릭 몰드(하층)에 복합레진의 shade A3를 충전한 후 표면의 조건을 달리하여 중합하였으며 상층은 shade A1으로 충전하고 중합하였다. 대조군(OIL 존재), 1군(OIL 형성억제), 2군(OIL 형성억제+레진표면의 미반응 모노머 제거), 3군(가압하에 중합), 4군(열중합), 5군(시효처리), 6군(시효처리+본딩제 도포)로 하층의 계면조건을 다르게 하였다. 전단결합강도와 파절양상, 전환률을 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. 전단결합강도 측정 결과 대조군과 제 1군 사이에 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 제 2군은 대조군과 1군에 비해 낮은 결합강도를 보였다(p<0.05). 3. 제 3군은 가장 높은 결합강도를 보인 반면, 4군은 가장 낮은 결합강도를 보였다. 4. 6군은 5군보다 두 배 정도 높은 결합강도를 보였다. 5. 대조군과 1군 및 3군에서는 주로 응집성 복합레진파절이 일어난 반면 2군, 4군, 5군과 6군에서는 주로 접착성 계면파절이 일어났다. 6. FTIR로 전환률을 측정한 결과 2군에서는 50.55%로 가장 높았고, 대조군에서는 가장 낮았다(p<0.05). 전단결합강도와 전환률의 결과로 보아, OIL은 복합레진 계면의 결합에 필수적인 요인은 아니며, 표층의 미반응 모노머가 결합강도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. 향후 계면 결합강도에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 미반응 모노머의 정량적인 분석을 통한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
