Purpose : This study was aimed to compare skin entrance dose of digital radiography with that of film radiography and to show the dose reduction achievement with digital systems at 11 dental schools in Korea. Materials and Methods : Forty six intraoral radiographic systems in 11 dental schools were included in this study. Digital sensors were used in 33 systems and film was used in 13 systems. Researchers and the volunteer visited 11 dental schools in Korea. Researchers asked the radiologic technician (s) at each school to set the exposure parameters and aiming the x-ray tube for the periapical view of the mandibular molar of the volunteer. The skin entrance doses were measured at the same exposure parameters and distance by the technician for each system with a dosimeter (Multi-O-Meter : Unfors instruments, Billdal, Sweden). Results : The median dose was 491.2 μGy for digital radiography and 1,205.0 μGy for film radiography. The skin entrance dose digital radiography was significantly lower than that of film radiography (p<0.05). Conclusion : Fifty-nine percent skin entrance dose reduction with digital periapical radiography was achieved over the film radiography in Korean dental schools.

This study has been carried out to remove metals and to improve dewatering efficiency in anaerobically digested sewage sludge using several conditions. The results from these experiments are as followings ; In continuous experiments, conditions of maximum metal solubilization were recycling rate of 20%, ferrous sulfate ammounts of 4.0g/l. The maximum metal solubilizations were observed since 48 hours. Solubilization rates of Zn, Mn were 98.3 %, 94.71 % respectively. Sulfuric acid dosage for metal solubilization are 1.26g in chemical method and 0.07g in bacterial leaching on a dry weight basis. Therefore sulfuric acid dosage was reduced about 18 times in bacterial leaching compared to that of chemical methods. In 660 mmHg, specific resistance coefficient of raw sludge was 4.91 × 10¹²cm/g. At acid treatment, specific resistance coefficient of sludge was 3.17 × 10¹²cm/g. At bacterial leaching, specific resistance coefficient of sludge was 1.94 × l0¹¹cm/g. Therefore dewatering abilities of sulfuric acid were increased about 2.7 times in bacterial leaching vs. chemical methods.

Whangryunhaedok-Tang (WT) is formulated with Coptidis Rhizoma, Phellodendri Cortex, Scutellariae Radix and Gardeniae Fructus, and Daewhang-whangryunhaedok-Tang (DWT) is made by the combination of Rhei Rhizoma, a wellknown anticostipation drug in WT. Therefore, DWT has been evaluated for antihyperlipidemic effects on experimental hyperlipidemic rats and mice induced by corn oil and high cholesterol-diet. Oral administration of DWT significantly inhibited the increase of serum triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol levels, and the decrease of serum HDL-cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemic rats induced by corn oil. Also, oral administration of DWT significantly prevented the increase of serum total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol, and liver total cholesterol and triglyceride in 1% cholesterol-diet fed mice. These results suggest that DWT is effective for the treatment of hyperlipidemia.
