This is the abstract section. One paragraph only Road cavities recently in urban are causing collapse of road surface layer due to loss of support bearing capacity. Detecting road cavities with ground penetrating radar(GPR) test, then excavation and backfill are performed in the anticipated cavity area. However sometimes detecting errors are occurred because of the complexity of the GPR test result analysis or interval space between larger gravels. So before unnecessary excavation, verification for detect the cavities results should be needed. The purpose of this study suggest deflection method by the light weight deflectometer(LWD) as a verification way of GPR test results and as a tracking investigation method continuously at the sites having small size cavity. LWD devices has more advantages than larger NDT because FWD has difficulties in a traffic control and entrance of narrow-back road. In this study, LWD tests were conducted on the pavement sections with and without road cavity detected by GPR tests and after excavating the area, the cavity sizes were measured. LWD test results can be applied to verify a subsurface cavity by comparing maximum deflection and deflection ratio between cavity area and non cavity area at the loading center. The higher deflection and lower modulus was measured at cavity sections. Based on the results of the comparative analysis, It is found that deflection method has a possibility of complementary for detecting road cavity. Also cavity size prediction equation was attempted to propose through deflection ratio using a database. Compared with another validation data, the proposed prediction equation is more suitable for detecting cavity existence than size estimation because the average error rate is larger. As a results of the analysis with depth ratio as a factor, it is necessary to improve the cavity size prediction through the normalization using the parameter of road properties.

Recently, road cave-in and depression in urban area due to subsurface cavity are emerging as a social issue in Korea. These phenomena enable to cause not only damage to human lives and properties, but also an anxiety of the citizens. Furthermore, it is a problem that needs more fundamental solution to countermeasure. The objective of this study is to evaluate the stiffness characteristics of asphalt pavement with existence of subsurface cavity using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) deflection and backcalculation analysis using GAPAVE program developed the KICT. The characteristics of FWD deflections are analysed for cavity and intact asphalt pavements. The stiffness reduction in the asphalt pavement due to subsurface cavity was evaluated as a result of this FWD test. The Seoul Metropolitan Government has conducted a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) test, coring, and image photographing in four different locations to determine the presence of the cavity and figure out the cavity depth and size underneath asphalt pavements. The cavity depths measured in this section range between 17cm to 51cm, and its lengths are at least 70cm to up to 310cm. It is found from this analysis that the deflections measured from cavity section are generally higher than intact section in same locations. As results of backcalculation analysis, it appears that the backcalculated moduli are generally decreasing with increase of cavity depth. After comparing with AC moduli obtained from intact and cavity section, it is observed that about 80% of moduli was reduced with existence of subsurface.

Kaposi’s sarcoma is one of the first recognized in HIV infection even patient can develop KS in any disease stage. Moreover, the oral cavity may be the first site of Kaposi’s sarcoma and oral mucosa involvements of KS in HIV positive are very critical because it had a higher death rate than those who having exclusively cutaneous manifestations of the disease. Early detection of KS oral involvement is very important to prevent disease burden. This case is about a 48 years old male who was first discovered Oral Kaposi’s Sarcoma as HIV infection sign. He didn’t notice any other discomfort other than oral mucosa swelling.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to evaluate different types of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) testing for characterizing the road cavity detection. The impulse and step-frequency-type GPR tests were conducted on a full-scale testbed with an artificial void installation. After analyzing the response signals of GPR tests for detecting the road cavity, the characteristics of each GPR response was evaluated for a suitable selection of GPR tests. METHODS: Two different types of GPR tests were performed to estimate the limitation and accuracy for detecting the cavities underneath the asphalt pavement. The GPR signal responses were obtained from the testbed with different cavity sizes and depths. The detection limitation was identified by a signal penetration depth at a given cavity for impulse and step-frequency-type GPR testing. The unique signal characteristics was also observed at cavity sections. RESULTS: The impulse-type GPR detected the 500-mm length of cavity at a depth of 1.0 m, and the step-frequency-type GPR detected the cavity up to 1.5 m. This indicates that the detection capacity of the step-frequency type is better than the impulse type. The step-frequency GPR testing also can reflect the howling phenomena that can more accurately determine the cavity. CONCLUSIONS : It is found from this study that the step-frequency GPR testing is more suitable for the road cavity detection of asphalt pavement. The use of step-frequency GPR testing shows a distinct image at the cavity occurrences.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the potential risk level of road cave-ins due to subsurface cavities based on the deflection basin measured with falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests. METHODS: Ground penetrating radar (GPR) tests were conducted to detect road cavities. Then FWD tests were conducted on 13 pavement test sections with and without a cavity. FWD deflections and a deflection ratio was used to evaluate the effect of geometry of the cavity and pavement for road cave-in potentials. RESULTS: FWD deflection of cavity sections measured at 60 cm or a closer offset distance to a loading center were 50% greater than more robust sections. The average deflection ratio of the cavity sections to robust sections were 1.78 for high risk level cavities, 1.51 for medium risk level cavities, and 1.16 for low risk level cavities. The relative remaining service life of pavement with a cavity evaluated with an surface curvature index (SCI) was 8.1% for the high level, 21.8% for the medium level, and 89.8% compared to pavement without a cavity. CONCLUSIONS : FWD tests can be applied to detect a subsurface cavity by comparing FWD deflections with and without a cavity measured at 60 cm or a closer offset distance to loading center. In addition, the relative remaining service life of cavity sections based on the SCI can used to evaluate road cave-in potentials.

In freshwater ecosystems, the types of fish parasites are diverse and routes of infection are complicated because they maintain the life cycle in a variety of host animals, The present study investigated the infestation characteristics of parasites occurring in abdominal cavity of Zacco platypus in Seom River from February to October 2007. At the same time, four streams (Gam Stream, Daepo Stream, Yangsan Stream, and Yulha Stream) were also surveyed for the reference of fish infection. Aquatic insects and shellfish predominated benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages by 90.4% and 7.7% of relative abundance, respectively. Aquatic insects were composed mostly of Ephemeroptera (46.8%) and Trichoptera (29.8%), and shellfish was Gastropods. Freshwater fish was most abundant Cyprinid and Z. platypus by 85.7% and 48.8%, respectively. Among waterfowl, Anas poecilorhyncha and Egretta garzetta were dominant in August. Fish parasites observed in the abdominal cavity of Z. platypus was classified as Ligula intestinalis, belonging to Phylum Platyhelminthes Cestoda Pseudophyllidae. L. intestinalis was observed from Z. platypus in October, as the number of one individual in the Seom River and fifteen individuals in the Yangsan Stream. Infection rate of plerocercoid ranged 1.4~15.8%. We discussed the relationship between the life cycle of the parasite and the host, and hope our results to be useful for understanding the ecology of the fish abdominal parasites in Korean river ecosystem.

This study was performed to investigate the correlation between the primary squamous cell carcinoma in oral cavity (POSCC) and paired metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma in cervical lymph node (MOSCC) via immunohistochemical staining with Ki-67 and p53. The subjects included ten patients (20 specimens) who were diagnosed with OSCC with metastatic lymph nodes from 2010 to 2015 and surgically treated involving neck dissection in Kyungpook National University Hospital. Twenty specimens were stained immunohistochemically with Ki-67 and p53. The degrees of immunostaining by Ki-67 and p53 was evaluated as 0 (no positive cells), weak (1~25% positive cells), moderate (26-50% positive cells) and strong (>50% positive cells). Despite the strong tendency, there was no statistically significant result between expressions of Ki-67 and p53 in POSCC or MOSCC. We found that high expression of Ki-67 was significantly correlated with poor degree of differentiation. Our results suggest that expression of Ki-67 may be a predictable factor for degree of differentiation of POSCC and MOSCC.

S. aureus is reported as a major cause of nosocomial infections after dental care and involved in endocarditis, bacteremia, osteomyelitis, peritonitis, and soft tissues etc. It is very important to identify the distribution and the diversity of toxin gene associated with the S. aureus expression in dental care patients with periodontitis directly for an effective prevention and treatment of dental diseases. Fifty four strains of S. aureus were isolated from the saliva of 129 patients who were diagnosed with periodontitis at dental clinics and hospitals located in Seoul. The distribution of the virulence gene and the genetic diversity of the strains were studied using the polymerase chain reaction with isolated strains. The enterotoxin test showed Seb was the most frequent gene with 88.9%. The hemolysin gene of Hla, Hib and Hld were the most frequently gene with 98.1% (53 strains), leukocidins gene of lukM showed 90.7% (49 strains), and laminin binding protein gene of Eno showed 100% (54 strains), respectively. The diversity of the enterotoxin gen was held as Seb-Seg-Sei gene of 35.2% (19 strains), the diversity of hemolysin gene of Hla-Hlb-Hld gene was 98.1% (53 strains) and the diversity of leukocidins gene of LukD-LukM were 88.9% (48 strains), respectively. Patients with dental disease showed somehow high toxin gene expression so that S. aureus in dental care area is judged to show very highly pathogen with a high and infection rate. In the future, additional studies for these toxin genes seem to be required.

Freezing of the pure water saturating a packed bed of spheres in a rectangular cavity is performed experimentally to investigate the effect of bead diameter on the heat transfer rate and temperature vs. time history for the pure water freezing experiments were compared with the freezing of the binary solution(HO-NaCl). Spherical soda-lime glass beads of 2.85mm and 6mm in average diameter constitute the porous medium. The system is cooled through its bottom surface, and the top is maintained at a temperature above the liquids. There was small effect on the temperature distribution in the system of the porosity difference.

The main object of this study was to investigate the collection characteristics of wet-type cyclone with wall cavity. The experiment was executed to analyze the characteristics of pressure drop and collection efficiency for the present system with the experimental parameters such as water spray, water spray type, inlet velocity etc. In results, for the present system of wet-type, the pressure drop represented 35 mmH2O, while in dry-type 33 mmH2O showing lower 6% at vin=21 m/s. In case of vin=21 m/s and water spray 200 mL/min, the collection efficiency of the present system became significantly higher as 96.8% comparing to that of the conventional wet-type scrubber. Additionally, for 200 mL/min, SO2 removal efficiencies decreased with the increment of inlet velocity representing 75.0, 62.5, 50.0%, at vin=6, 9, 12 m/s, respectively.

The effect of the cavity behind Rectangle Bluff Body in turbulent single-phase flow was studied using Particle Image velocimetry (PIV). The results for the time-averaged velocity showed a recirculation flow behind the bluff body. The horizontal location behind the bluff body where the time-averaged vertical and horizontal velocity components were zero was found at approximately 1.2H and the end of the re- circulation region was shifted upstream by effect of the cavity.

Neurotized melanocytic nevus (NMN) is categorized into intradermal/intramucosal type of acquired melanocytic nevus. In contrast to typical intramucosal nevus which has relatively distinct histological features, the diagnosis of NMN requires more attention due to its mimicry of benign neural tumors such as neurofibroma. The majority of lesional cells, NMN cells, showed a spindle cell morphology and abundant, eosinophilic cytoplasm which were positive for S-100, vimentin, and collagen type IV. Positive reaction for MART-1 was detected in the NMN cells as well as in the epithelioid nevus cells beneath the epithelium. Neurofibroma exhibited diffuse positivity for S-100, vimentin, CD34 and collagen type IV, but never expressed MART-1. Toluidine blue stained the numerous mast cells scattered in the lesion of neurofibroma, compared to the relatively minor detection of mast cells in NMN. Therefore, MART-1 is a useful marker in differentiating NMN from neurofibroma.

Worldwide studies on Apis cerana variation for biogeography and genetic diversity depended largely on a 86~93 bp-long mitochondrial non-coding region (internal spacer region) located between tRNALeu and COII (named as NC2), possibly due to higher variability among available markers. In order to incorporate the A. cerana occurring in South Korea into world extensive data, we also sequenced the NC2 from 118 A. cerana samples collected over nine Korean localities and 66 A. cerana samples over seven Asian localities, such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand. These data were combined with preexisting world data to scrutinize genetic relationships of A. cerana in South Korea to outside distributional range. Sequencing of 184 samples provided a total of ten haplotypes: five from Korea, six from China, one from Vietnam, and two from Thailand. Among them eight were new, whereas two were previously reported ones. Phylogenetic analysis of A. cerana NC2 haplotypes so far found including ours has confirmed the presence of four major groups of A. cerana (Asian mainland group, Sundaland group, Palawan group, and Luzon-Mindahnao group) and all haplotypes found in this study also were included in the Asian mainland group. In order to find further variable regions that can be used as sequence-based marker several mitochondrial non-coding regions and nuclear intron regions are in the middle of testing.

수령이 오래되거나 보호수에서의 공동 발생은 수세약화, 부분고사, 전체고사 등의 원인이 될 수 있다. 보호수 및 노거수의 보호를 위한 공동의 치료는 폴리우레탄을 사용한 방법이 일반적이다. 그러나 폴리우레탄은 수목의 공동에 직접적인 치료방법이 되지 못할뿐더러 환경오염 물질을 함유하고 있는 단점이 있다. 본 실험은 기존의 폴리우레탄을 사용한 공동치료를 대체할 수 있는 황토와 미생물을 이용하여 친환경적 공동치료방법을 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 느티나무 (Zelkova serrata), 왕벚나무 (Prunus yedoensis), 가시나무 (Quercus myrsinaefolia)에 자연 발생한 공동에 기존 우레탄 시공, 황토처리, 황토 + 미생물1종 (Rhodobacter), 황토 + 미생물2종 (Rhodobacter, bacillus) + 토양입단제의 4처리를 실시하였다. 황토와 미생물2종 (Rhodobacter, bacillus), 토양입단제의 혼용 처리구에서 느티나무의 경우 97%, 왕벚나무는 87%, 가시나무는 73%의 새로운 캘러스 형성을 보여 기존의 폴리우레탄을 이용한 공동 처리보다 더 우수한 결과를 보였다. 그러나 황토 단용처리와 황토 + 미생물1종 (Rhodobacter) 처리구는 폴리우레탄 처리구보다 비슷하거나 더 낮은 캘러스 형성율을 보였다. 이는 황토 및 Rhodobacter와 bacillus, 토양입단제의 혼합처리가 수목의 부패 또는 상처 부위의 치유에 더 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

The incidence of multidrug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus continues to increase in hospitals and the community all over the world. As the importance of miner surgery in dentistry gets greater recently, the frequency in use of antibiotics has been increasing. Although several cases of acquired infection in oral cavity in dental hospital has been reported, the research on isolation of S. aureus and evaluation of its antibiotic resistance from outpatients in the dental clinic has not been found yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance of S. aureus isolates. The isolation rate of S. aureus were 41.7% in dental hospital personnel, 60.4% in outpatients and 62% in dental hygiene students. S. aureus which showed resistance to penicillin were 88.6%, ampicillin 88.6%, erythromycin 8.6%, tetracycline 4.3%, oxacillin 4.3%, cefoteten 4.3%. Six strains of S. aureus showed the susceptible to all antibiotics tested. Sixty-four(91.4%) strains were multiple antibiotic resistance. Fifty-two strains(72.8%) resisted to AM-P. and Seven strains(10.0%) resisted to AM-P-E, AM-P-GM, AM-P-TE.

콘크리트 구조물의 안전진단을 위해 충격반향기법(Impact Echo method, IE)과 충격응답기법(Impulse Response method, IR)을 이용하여, 콘크리트 모형 하부의 공동 유무에 따른 탐사 결과를 분석하였다. 콘크리트 모형은 순수 콘크리트 부분과 철근+콘크리트 부분으로 나누고, 공동의 유무에 따라 각 기법의 적용에 의한 반응 변화를 관찰하였다. 이 연구에 앞서 수행한 GPR과 IE 및 IR 기법의 복합 적용 결과, IE 및 IR 기법이 철근의 영향을 크게 받지 않고 공동존재 여부에 따른 반응이 비교적 잘 나타나는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구에서는 선행 연구 결과를 토대로 IE와 IR 기법의 활용도를 높여서 보다 정확한 콘크리트 구조물의 안전진단 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. GPR과 같은 비파괴 조사 기법과 달리, IE 및 IR 기법은 측정이 이루어지는 위치를 정확히 알 수 있어 각 측점의 콘크리트 두께와 하부 공동의 반응을 보다 정확히 파악할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 연구 결과, IE 기법에서는 공진주파수보다 낮은 저주파수에서 나타나는 작은 피크 구간이 공동에 의한 반응으로 보이며, IR 기법에서는 주파수에 따른 운동성(mobility)과 동적 강성도(dynamic stiffness)의 변화를 통해 공동의 유무를 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 제안한 방법은 콘크리트 구조물의 보수 보강에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

본 연구는 직삽 양액재배에 의한 ‘백마’ 품종의 줄기공 동화를 경감하고 절화품질 향상시키고자 양액 pH조정 비료종류와 에세폰 살포 효과를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 양액 pH조정 비료종류에 따른 pH 경시적 변화는 수산화 칼륨 처리에서 pH 5.65에서 시작하여 큰 변화 없이 안정 적으로 유지되었다. 화아분화기 이후 양액 pH조정 비료 종류에 따른 절화장, 엽수, 절화중, 및 꽃잎수는 수산화 칼륨 처리가 가장 좋았다. 중탄산칼륨처리는 경경이 두 껍고 내벽이 두꺼워 동공의 크기와 면적이 가장 적었으나, 생육과 절화품질이 가장 좋은 수산화칼륨 처리구에서는 동공이 다소 큰 경향이었다. 화아분화기 이후 양액 pH 조정에 따른 양분 흡수변화는 중탄산칼륨 처리는 전질소, 인산, 칼륨 및 칼슘의 흡수가 가장 적게 일어나 순환식 양액탱크내 잔류량이 가장 많은 반면 수산화칼륨의 경우 전질소, 인산, 칼륨 및 칼슘의 순환식 양액탱크내 잔류 량이 적어 식물체내로 일정하게 흡수되도록 하여 생육 및 절화품질을 향상시킨 것으로 생각되었다. 에세폰 엽면 살포의 농도와 시기에 따른 생육은 관행(무처리)에 비해 500배 처리에서는 생육억제가, 1,000배와 2,000배 처리에 서는 생육촉진 효과가 나타났다. 꽃잎수는 관행 302매에 비해 1,000배 개화 45일전 처리가 331개/송이로 가장 많게 나타났다. 에세폰 처리에 따른 줄기동공은 관행에 비해 2,000배 개화 30일전 처리가 크기 1.0mm, 면적이 7% 정도 더 적은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 국화 ‘백마’ 양액 재배시 화아분화기 이후 수산화칼륨을 이용하여 양액 pH 를 안정화시키고 에세폰 2,000배액을 개화 30일전 처리 하여 줄기동공 크기를 감소시킴으로써 생육 및 절화품 질향상을 도모할 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) is a rare malignant epithelial tumor in the oral cavity. It is regarded as a variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) because ASC originates from the surface epithelium, has similar clinical features, and includes SCC portion which is histologically identical to the traditional form. This case report deals with two cases of ASC occurring in the oral mucosa of old male patients. Both case has tubular structures lined by cuboidal, basaloid, or small round cells under the conventional SCC component, which was reminiscent of the glandular differentiation of adenocarcinoma. On immunohistochemical studies, the glandular component of ASC showed positivity to CK-pan, CK7 and HMWCK, while the dysplastic squamous cells exhibited negativity to CK7. Accordingly, CK7 as well as morphological findings can lead towards differentiating ASC from other variants with gland-like structures, such as basaloid squamous cell carcinoma and adenoid squamous cell carcinoma.
