In order to study the change in mechanical properties and anti-flammablilty of ethylene-ethylacrylate copolymer(EEA) very low density polyethylene(VLDPE) compound that could be used as communication cable sheath using $Mg(OH)_2$ as a non-toxic flame retardant, 100, 125, and 150phr $Mg(OH)_2$ were added to 100 parts of EEA-VLDPE compound, 100 EEA : 0 VLDPE, 50 EEA : 50 VLDPE, and 0 EEA : 100 VLDPE, respectively. $Mg(OH)_2$ was a good non-toxic flame retardant for communication cable sheath and anti-flammability increased with the amount of $Mg(OH)_2$ in compound. The mechanical properties-MI, Ts, and Eb-decreased with increasing in the mixing ratio of EEA but oxygen index(OI) increased with increasing in the amount of EEA. The best composition of $Mg(OH)_2$ in this study was 150phr to 50 EEA : 50 VLDPE compound for the anti-flammability.

Background Eyelids vary in morphology and structure depending on age, sex, and race. Usually, one-dimensional measurements are used to evaluate blepharoplasty outcomes. However, in recent years, three- or four- directional enlargements of the eyelid have been used for blepharoplasty in Asian patients, and the outcomes of techniques such as lateral canthoplasty or canthotomy and medial epicanthoplasty with increased scleral area cannot be analyzed using marginal reflex distance 1 or the area of corneal exposure. Therefore, we describe the use of a measurement method based on the eyeball exposure area (EEA). Methods To obtain normal EEA values by age and sex, 320 individuals were recruited. The participants were divided into eight age groups (n=40 in each group: female subjects, n=20; male subjects, n=20): 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and 80-89 years. The EEA value was obtained by dividing the exposed area by the total eyeball area. The normal EEA values and differences in EEA according to age and sex were calculated. Results The mean EEA values for male and female subjects were 66.86% ±9.20% and 71.48%±10.48%, respectively. In each age group, the EEA values of females were higher than those of males. EEA decreased significantly with age in both male and female subjects (P<0.05). Conclusions We determined normal EEA values according to age and sex. EEA can be used as an indicator of the outcome of blepharoplasty.

Eruca sativa (E. sativa)는 루꼴라라고 불리우고 이탈리아 요리에 많이 사용되는 식물로 Brassicaceae 속에 속하는 다년생 식물이다. E. sativa를 70% 에탄올로 환류추출 및 농축하고 (ES), n-hexane (EHex), ethyl acetate (EEA), chloroform (ECHCl₃), n-butyl alcohol (EBuOH) 및 water (EDW) 용매 극성별로 분획하여 미백 효능을 규명하고 화장품 소재로서의 응용성을 연구하였다. ES, EHex, EEA, ECHCl₃, EBuOH 및 EDW의 mushroom tyrosinase 활성 저해를 평가한 결과 EEA가 가장 유의하게 저해하였으며, B16F10 멜라노마 세포 내에서의 멜라닌 생성을 확인한 결과 ES, EEA 및 EBuOH를 처리하였을 때 멜라닌 생성이 유의하게 저해되었으며, 특히 EEA 분획물에서 가장 효과가 뛰어났다. 피부염과 여드름을 일으키는 황색포도상구균, 여드름 원인균을 포함한 8종의 세균, 진균에 대해 ES, EHex, EEA, ECHCl₃, EBuOH 및 EDW의 항균력과 방부력 시험을 평가한 결과 EEA는 8종의 균 모두 효과적으로 항균력을 나타냈다. ES를 0.05, 0.1%를 함유하여 제조한 토너와 에멀션은 기존 처방에서 방부력을 증가시켜 천연보존제 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. ES를 토너, 에멀션 제형에 0.05, 0.1%로 첨가하여 일광, -20, 4, 25, 55 ℃ 조건에서 4 개월동안 안정성을 평가한 결과 pH 및 점도에 대한 영향은 크게 없었으나 대조군 및 ES를 첨가한 에멀션 55 ℃에서 분리가 일어나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 피부침투시험을 통해 EEA는 6 hr에서 0.058%가 침투되어 임상적인 효능을 예측할 수 있었다. 천연소재 E. sativa는 미백 기능성화장품 소재 및 천연 항균 보존제로 활용 가치가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The introduction of end-to-end anastomosis stapler [EEA stapler] into esophageal surgery has reduced the mortality and morbidity associated with esophageal resection mainly owing to a reduction in the incidence of accidence of anastomotic leak. We now report the results of the 37 patients undergoing esophagectomy or esophagogastrectomy with EEA stapler in the department of cardiothoracic Surgery, Kosin Medical Center No leakage was demonstrated in the 37 esophagogastric anastomotic sites, but dehiscence of the TA stapled gastrotomy suture line occurred in two patient One patient was recovered with conservative treatment but the other patient was died due to hepatic metastasis of esophageal carcinoma during conservative treatment. And one severe esophagogastric anastomotic stricture was developed at the 30th postoperative day, but improved after dilatation with balloon dilatation catheter of Swiss Med. Tech. Company. The other complications were postoperative pneumonia[1 case], wound disruption and infection[3 cases], but all of 4 patients were recovered with conservative treatment. We experienced relative good postoperative results with use of EEA stapler in esophageal surgery. On the basis of our experience, we believe that the EEA stapler has definite place in esophageal surgery.

배경:식도-위 문합술시 EEA stapler가 도입됨으로써 문합부 누출의 발생을 줄여 술후 사망률의 감소에 기여하게 되었으나 문합부 협착의 발생이 수기봉합에 비해 높은 단점이 있다. EEA stapler를 이용한 식도-위 문합술시 문합부 협착의 발생을 줄이고, 또 문합부 협착의 치료에 도움이 되고자 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1986년 1월부터 1996년 12월 까지 약 11년간 고신대학교 의학부 흉부외과에서 EEA stapler를 이용하여 식도-위 문합술을 시행한 195명의 환자 중 술후 조기에 사망한 10명를 제외한 185명를 대상으로 문합부 협착에 대한 분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 문합부 협착은 185명의 환자 중 39명에서 발생하여 21%의 발생율을 나타내었고 발생시기는 술후 1개월에서 3개월 사이에 25례(64.1%)로 가장 많이 발생하였다. 문합부 협착이 발생한 환자군과 발생하지 않은 환자군 사이에 연령의 차이는 없었으며 문합의 위치에 따른 문합부 협착의 발생율은 흉곽 입구부에서 문합한 환자군에서 기관분기 하부에서 문합한 환자군에 비해 조금 높았으나 통계학적인 유의성은 없었다. 문합시 사용된 cartridge의 크기와 문합부 협착의 발생율의 비교에서 작은 cartridge를 사용한 예에서 문합부 협착의 발생율이 높게 나타났다(p=0.04). 결론: 이상의 결과로 EEA stapler를 이용하여 식도-위 문합술시 가능한 큰 cartridge를 사용함으로써 문합부 협착의 발생을 줄일수 있을 것으로 사료되며 문합부 협착이 발생한 경우에는 1∼2회의 풍선확장술의 시행이 안전하고 확실한 치료방법으로 확인되었다.

Since Steichen and Ravich`s pioneer work in 1972 proved that staples reduced anastomotic leaks and operative time, the use of EEA stapler`s in esophagogastrostomy have gained acceptance and popularity. But overriding these benefits are the high stricture rate, which leads to the reappearance of dysphagia. The mechanism for the development of stricture in stapled anastomosis is likely to be due to the lack of mucosa to mucosa apposition and presence of necrotic tissue between the luminal edge and the rows of the stapler. All strictures were easily dilated. Recently, we encountered a patient who suffered from an esophageal stricture that slowly developed 10 months after an esophagogastric anastomosis with a EEA 425 was performed due to severe muscular hypertrophy of esophagus. Because the stricture failed to respond to the Bougienage, we reoperated using a EEA 28 this time. We feel that this case review helps to show that despite the very low leakage rate in small size EEA stapler, there is also a very high risk of stricture.

The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) to the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) has recently been considered a safer alternative and less invasive approach than the traditional transoral approach because the complications associated with the latter are avoided or minimized. Here, we present two challenging cases of CVJ pathologies. The first case involved os odontoideum associated with anterior displacement of the occipitocervical junction where the EEA was used, followed by C0-C1-C2 fusion using a posterior approach to decompress the CVJ, and was complicated by rhinorrhea and Candida albicans meningitis. The second case involved basilar invagination with syringomyelia previously treated using a posterior approach, where aggravation of neuropathic symptoms required combined treatment with EEA and occipitocervical fusion of C0-C2-C3-C4, with the postoperative course challenged by operative site infection requiring drainage with debridement and antibiotic therapy. The EEA is an alternative approach for accessing the CVJ in well-selected patients. Knowledge of EEA complications is crucial for the optimal care of patients.

This paper presents a new method that can solve the integrated problem of combined location routing and inventory problem (CLRIP) efficiently. The CLRIP is used to establish facilities from several candidate depots, to find the optimal set of vehicle routes, and to determine the inventory policy in order to minimize the total system cost. We propose a mathematical model for the CLRIP with budget constrained. Because this model is a nonpolynomial (NP) problem, we propose a endosymbiotic evolutionary algorithm (EEA) which is a kind of symbiotic evolutionary algorithm (SEA). The heuristic method is used to obtaining the initial solutions for the EEA. The experimental results show that EEA perform very well compared to the existing heuristic methods with considering inventory control decisions.

This paper compares the environmental economic performance of the South Korean and the German economy during the last decade. The analysis is based on comparable data from the Environmental Economic Accounts (EEA). The EEA is a satellite account to the National Accounts which enhances the conventional economic accounts by a description of the interactions between the economy and the environment. The data from the EEA and the national accounts are fully compatible. In absolute terms the environmental pressures caused by economic activities were with regards to the environmental factors used for the analysis generally lower in South Korea than in Germany. If the use of environmental factors is related to each country's gross domestic product (environmental productivities) a lower level of environmental productivity can be observed for most of the environmental factors in South Korea compared to Germany. For example in 1999 energy and $CO_2$ productivity were about two fifths of the German level. This corresponds to the relation regarding labour productivity (Gross domestic product per employment).
