육종은 중간엽세포에서 기원하는 드문 악성 종양이다. 중 간엽 세포는 연조직과 뼈로 분화가 가능하므로 육종은 신체 어느 부분에서든지 발생할 수 있다. 하지만 담관 육종은 성 인에서 발생률이 극히 낮다. 폐쇄성 황달이 가장 흔한 증상 이지만 특징적인 증상이나 징후는 없다. 또한 영상학적 검사를 하여도 총담관낭이나 간농양 등으로 오인하는 경우가 많다. 따라서 진단과 치료가 매우 어렵다. 우리는 70세 여자 환자에서 간내 담석에 동반된 간농양으로 오인하였으나 성장률이 매우 빠른 간내담관 육종으로 진단된 증례를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고한다.

담관 막양구조는 유병률, 병인에 대해 명확히 정립되지 않은 매우 드문 질환이다. 원인은 선천적으로 발생하기도 하며 담관결석과 동반하여 만성 염증에 의해 후천적으로 발생하기도 한다. 특징적인 임상 증상이 없는 경우가 많으나 일부 환자에서 폐쇄성 담관염의 증상을 유발할 수 있다. 진단 또한 어려웠으나 최근 여러 담도계 검사법의 발달로 조기 발견 빈도가 높아지게 되었다. 저자들은 증상이 없이 우연히 담관 결석이 발견된 65세 남자 환자에서 역행성 담췌관조영술로 총담관 막양구조를 진단하고 풍선 확장술로 치료한 예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Toluene is one of the typical index substances of environmental odor. In this study the vaporized toluene was decomposed by peroxide ions which are formed from a newly developed low-temperature plasma generator. The number of ions composed mostly of negative was controlled by electric voltage below 3.0 kV, which could produce the minimum super oxide and ozone. The test plasma generator produced 84.1~560×103 ions/㎤ depending on air velocity. It was found that toluene decomposition rate corresponded proportionally to the plasma intensity. The efficiency with the plasma output, 3.0 kV was 97.5% in a batch process.

PURPOSES : In Korea, over 70 percent of the land consists of mountainous and rolling area. Thus, tunnels continue its upward trend as road network are extended. In these circumstances, the importance of tunnel has been increased nowadays and then its safety investigation and research should be performed. This study is focus on confirming and improving the safety of tunnel. On tunnel hood, sunglare effect can irritate driver's behavior instantly and this can result in incident. METHODS : The study of this phenomenon is rarely conducted in domestic and foreign papers, so there is no proper measure for this. This study analyzes the driving environment of the effect of sunglare effect on tunnel hood. RESULTS : Traffic accidents stem from complex set of factors. This study build the Traffic Accident Prediction Models to find out the effect of sunglare effect on tunnel's hood. The independent variables are traffic volume, geometric design of road, length of tunnel and road side environment. Using these variables, this model estimates accident frequency on tunnel hood by Poisson regression model and Negative binomial regression model. Although Poisson regression model have more proper goodness of fit than Negative binomial regression model, Poisson regression model has overdipersion problem. So the Negative binomial regression model is used in this analysis. CONCLUSIONS : Consequently, the model shows that sunglare effect can play a role in driving safety on tunnel hood. As a result, the information of sunglare effect should be noticed ahead of tunnel hood so this can prevent drivers from being in hazard situation.

This article is prepared as training aids for students visiting Mt. Sorak. The basement rocks are composed of Precambrian granitic gneiss and porphyroblastic gneiss found in the vicinity of the highest peaks, and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks covered them with unconformity. Granites covering most of this area intruded these rocks as batholith. From the view point of geology, the general view of Mt. Sorak appears to be resulted from the intrusion of granites and the accompanied differential erosion due to the textural and structural differences of rocks. Especially the sheer cliffs seem to be formed by the erosion along joint planes, and the sequent columnar valley by the joint cross and the litholigic change.

During maintenance, we closely examined the reinforced section where concrete has cracked at the time of cable installation. We confirmed that there has not been any sight of new cracks or growth of existing cracks. For the following year of Investigation, we plan to conduct close inspection of the reinforced section.

Improved measurement and structural modeling analysis of result, an improved method is very efficient. The difference of about 10~15% comes out, Improved measurement and structural modeling analysis of result, it is determined that the need for additional research, such as a change of the modeling subdivision, load contions.

Shin Geo-Je Bridge needs new inspection holes to improve the accessibility for various maintenances. This study evaluated the maximum effective stresses of the bottom flange when the inspection holes is made with an ellipse shape. The FEM analysis results show that the inspection installation is possible to the inflection point of the girder.

Shin Geo-Je Bridge needs new inspection holes to improve the accessibility for various maintenances. This study evaluated the maximum von mises stresses(SE) of the bottom flange when the inspection holes is made with an ellipse shape. The FEM analysis results show that the inspection installation is possible to the inflection point of the girder because buckling phenomenon doesn't occur according to the loading.

Three biphenyl-degrading microorganisms were isolated from polluted soil samples in Sasang-gu, Busan. Among them, isolate DS-94 showing the strong degrading activity was selected. The morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics of DS-94 were investigated by API 20NE and other tests. This bacterium was identified as the genus Pseudomonas by 16S rDNA sequencing and designated as Pseudomonas sp. DS-94. The optimum temperature and pH for the growth of Pseudomonas sp. DS-94 were 25℃ and pH 7.0, respectively. This isolate could utilize biphenyl as sole source of carbon and energy. Biphenyl-degrading efficiency of this isolate was measured by HPLC analysis. As a result of biological biphenyl-degradation at high biphenyl concentration (500 mg/L), biphenyl-removal efficiency by this isolate was 73.5% for 7 days.

To investigate correlation between the distribution of marine bacteria and environmental characteristics in the surface sediments of Kamak Bay, chemical oxygen demand(COD), acid volatile sulfide(AVS), ignition loss(IL), total organic carbon(TOC), and total organic nitrogen(TON) were measured and analyzed at 7 stations in winter and summer. In winter, COD and AVS ranged from 13.45 mg/g to 30.06 mg/g(average: 23.58 mg/g) and from 0.03 mg/g to 1.04 mg/g(average: 0.63 mg/g), respectively. IL, TOC, and TON ranged from 8.03% to 11.41%(average: 9.41%), from 1.17% to 2.10%(average: 1.62%), and from 0.09% to 0.18%(average 0.15%), respectively. In summer, COD, AVS, IL, TOC, and TON ranged from 14.06 mg/g to 32.19 mg/g(average: 24.71 mg/g), from 0.03 mg/g to 1.11 mg/g(average: 0.66 mg/g), from 9.00% to 12.15%(average: 10.96%), from 1.27% to 2.12%(average 1.77%), and from 0.12% to 0.19%(average: 0.16%), respectively. These values were relatively higher than those in winter. Kamak Bay had high C/N ratio that might be resulted from the input of terrestrial sewage and industrial wastewater. The number of marine viable bacteria was 8.9 × 104 cfu/g in winter and 9.7 × 105 cfu/g in summer. The most abundant species were Pseudomonas spp., Flavobacterium spp., and Vibrio spp. in the surface sediments of Kamak Bay. It was found that the concentration of organic matters and viable bacterial cells in the inner part were relatively higher than those in the outer of Kamak Bay. The distribution of viable bacterial cells was closely influenced by environmental factors.

The aerobic photosynthetic bacterium, which produces bacterial carotenoids was isolated and identified from coastal marine environments. This bacterium was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing and designated as Erythrobacter longus SY-46. E. longus SY-46 was Gram negative and rod shape, and the optimal culture conditions were 25℃, pH 7.0, and 3.0% NaCl concentration, respectively. The carbon and nitrogen sources required for the optimal growth were lactose and tryptone, respectively. Fatty acid compositions of E. longus SY-46 were C18:1(78.32%), ν-linolenic acid(C18:3n9.12.15c: 3.83%), margaric acid(C17:0: 3.38%), palmitic acid(C16:0: 3.07%), and docosahexaenoic acid(C22:6n3: 2.21%). In addition, E. longus SY-46 showed the characteristic absorption peaks of bacterial carotenoids(in the region of 450 to 480 nm) and bacteriochlorophyll(770 to 772 nm). Major carotenoids of E. longus SY-46 were polyhydroxylated xanthophylls such as fucoxanthin and zeaxanthin.
