This research aims to demonstrate a novel vortex ultrasound enabled endovascular thrombolysis method designed for treating cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST).This is a topic of substantial importance since current treatment modalities for CVST still fail in as many as 20%to 40%of the cases,and the incidence of CvST has increased since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 *** with conventional anticoagulant or thrombolytic drugs,sonothrombolysis has the potential to remarkably shorten the required treatment time owing to the direct clot targeting with acoustic ***,previously reported strategies for sonothrombolysis have not demonstrated clinically meaningful outcomes(e.g.,recanalization within 30 min)in treating large,completely occluded veins or ***,we demonstrated a new vortex ultrasound technique for endovascular sonothrombolysis utilizing wavematter interaction-induced shear stress to enhance the lytic rate *** in vitro experiment showed that the lytic rate was increased by at least 64.3%compared with the nonvortex endovascular ultrasound treatment.A 3.1-g,7.5-cm-long,completely occluded in vitro 3-dimensional model of acute CVST was fully recanalized within 8 min with a record-high lytic rate of 237.5 mg/min for acute bovine clot ***,we confirmed that the vortex ultrasound causes no vessel wall damage over ex vivo canine *** vortex ultrasound thrombolysis technique potentially presents a new life-saving tool for severe CVST cases that cannot be efficaciously treated using existing therapies.

Korea imports about 97% of its energy resources as its available energy resources are extremely limited. Thus, the role of nuclear power in electricity generation is expected to become more important in future years. A fast reactor system is one of the most promising options for electricity generation with an efficient utilization of uranium resources and a reduction of radioactive wastes. Based on the experiences gained during the development of the conceptual designs for KALIMER (Korea advanced liquid metal reactor), the KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) is currently developing advanced SFR (sodium cooled fast reactor) design concepts that can better meet the Gen IV (Generation IV) technology goals. The long-term advanced SFR development plan will be carried out toward the construction of an advanced SFR demonstration plant by 2028. Advanced concept design studies and the development of the advanced SFR technologies necessary for its commercialization and basic key technologies carried out by KAERI are included in this paper.
