본 연구는 한국과 일본의 특정 도시내 주거녹지의 미기후개선 및 $CO_2$ 농도저감 효과를 계량화하였다. 또한, 도시수목에 의한 화재방지의 효과를 검토하고, 그들 효과를 함께 증진하기 위한 녹지계획 및 관리 전략을 제시하였다. 수목 생장기간 중 평균 온도는 수목피도 12% 및 22%인 지구에서 녹지부재의 지구보다 각각 0.5$^{\circ}C$, 1.2$^{\circ}C$ 더 낮았다. 수목의 호당 연간 $CO_2$, 흡수량과 $O_2$, 생산량은 수목피도가 2배 더 높은 지구에서 3배 더 많았다. 수목피도 22% 지구의 수목은 광합성과 에너지 절약을 통해 지구 총 $CO_2$배출량의 약 3%를 해마다 상쇄시켰고, 지구내 거주민 모두가 연간 필요로 하는 산소량의 약 10%를 생산하는 중요한 역할을 담당하였다. 흉고직경 15cm인 느티나무 한 그루의 8월 하루 증산량은 7,100kca1/h(사무실 24평용) 냉방능력을 가진 냉방기를 12시간 동안 약 3대 가동하는 효과와 같았다. 또한, 그 수목은 해마다 32리터의 휘발유 소비에 따른 $CO_2$, 배출량을 상쇄시켰고, 한 사람이 68일간 호흡하는데 필요한 산소량을 생산하였다. 화재 방지를 비롯한 미기후개선 및 $CO_2$ 농도저감의 효과를 증진하기 위해, 수종선정 , 건물주변 식재기법, 녹지확충, 식생관리 등과 관련된 도시 주거녹지의 적정한 계획 및 관리전략을 제시하였다. 제안한 전략은 현존 단독주거지에서는 물론 새로운 주거단지를 조성하는데 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Objective: Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) is increasingly used for the evaluation of intracranial aneurysms (IAs); however, radiation exposure to the lens is a concern. We investigated the effect of head off-centering by adjusting table height on the lens dose during 3D-RA and its feasibility in patient examination. Materials and Methods: The effect of head off-centering during 3D-RA on the lens radiation dose at various table heights was investigated using a RANDO head phantom (Alderson Research Labs). We prospectively enrolled 20 patients (58.0 ± 9.4 years) with IAs who were scheduled to undergo bilateral 3D-RA. In all patients' 3D-RA, the lens dose-reduction protocol involving elevation of the examination table was applied to one internal carotid artery, and the conventional protocol was applied to the other. The lens dose was measured using photoluminescent glass dosimeters (GD-352M, AGC Techno Glass Co., LTD), and radiation dose metrics were compared between the two protocols. Image quality was quantitatively analyzed using source images for image noise, signal-to-noise ratio, and contrast-to-noise ratio. Additionally, three reviewers qualitatively assessed the image quality using a five-point Likert scale. Results: The phantom study showed that the lens dose was reduced by an average of 38% per 1 cm increase in table height. In the patient study, the dose-reduction protocol (elevating the table height by an average of 2.3 cm) led to an 83% reduction in the median dose from 4.65 mGy to 0.79 mGy (P < 0.001). There were no significant differences between dose-reduction and conventional protocols in the kerma area product (7.34 vs. 7.40 Gy·cm², P = 0.892), air kerma (75.7 vs. 75.1 mGy, P = 0.872), and image quality. Conclusion: The lens radiation dose was significantly affected by table height adjustment during 3D-RA. Intentional head off-centering by elevation of the table is a simple and effective way to reduce the lens dose in clinical practice.

Black carbon (BC) concentrations were measured with an aethalometer (AE-16, 880 nm) at time interval of 5-min at an urban site of Gwangju over a year 2008. 24-hr filter-based integrated measurements of $PM_{2.5}$ particles were also made at the same site during the winter and summer intensive periods to test any optical loading bias in the raw BC data measured by aethalometer. BC concentration was higher in winter than in summer, possibly due to increase in emissions from energy consumption and poor dispersion with reduction of boundary layer in winter. Also temporal cycles of BC indicate that short-term transient spikes were common, occurring primarily during the rush-hour periods. A similar feature was also observed in diurnal concentration cycle of CO, mainly emitted from motor vehicles. When both low wind speed and weather patterns such as mist, haze and etc were combined, high BC concentrations frequently occurred. The amount of optical loading effect described by the "k" factor showed the seasonal variation, ranging from 0.0003 to 0.0036. This implies that optical loading effect is not seen at all times. From the comparison between the filter-based elemental carbon (EC) and aethalometer BC data, it was found that the loading compensated BC values were more reasonable than the raw BC ones reported from the aethalometer.

In the present study, the effect of cysteine and NT or bisphenol A(BP) on in vitro aturation(IVM) of porcine oocytes were examined. COCs was cultured in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 10% FCS which had previously been covered with mineral oil and equilibrated in a humidified atmosphere of 5% $CO_2$ and 95% air at $38^{\circ}C$. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 0.5~10.0 mM cysteine were $34.0{\pm}3.2%$, $36.0{\pm}3.5%$, $48.0{\pm}3.8%$, $22.0{\pm}3.2%$, respectively. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 0.5~5.0mM NT for 48 hrs were $24.0{\pm}4.2%$, $18.0{\pm}4.9%$, $8.0{\pm}2.2%$, respectively. NT affects oocyte in vitro maturation rate in a dose-dependent. This result were significantly lower than the control group. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 1.0 mM NT+5.0 mM cysteine($38.0{\pm}4.3%$) were significantly higher than that of NT treatment. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 0.05~5.0 mM BP for 48 hrs were $20.0{\pm}4.7%$, $10.0{\pm}5.3%$, $6.0{\pm}3.2%$, respectively. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured in NCSU-23 medium supplement with BP was significantly lower cultured non supplement of BP ($44.0{\pm}3.5%$). BP affects porcine oocyte maturation rate in a dose-dependent manner. The IVM rate of oocytes cultured for 48 hrs in NCSU-23 medium supplement with 1.0 mM BP+5.0 mM cycteine ($32.0{\pm}3.2%$) were increased than that of BP treatment.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome P-encoded protein HBV DNA polymerase (Pol) has long been known as a reverse transcriptase during HBV replication. In this study, we investigated the impact of HBV Pol on host cellular processes, mainly apoptosis, and the underlying mechanisms. We showed a marked reduction in apoptotic rates in the HBV Pol-expressed HepG2 cells compared to controls. Moreover, a series of assays, i.e., yeast two-hybrid, GST pull-down, co-immunoprecipitation, and confocal laser scanning microscopy, identified the host factor eEF1A2 to be associated with HBV Pol. Furthermore, knockdown of eEF1A2 gene by siRNA abrogated the HBV Pol-mediated anti-apoptotic effect with apoptosis induced by endoplasmatic reticulum (ER) stress-inducer thapsigargin (TG), thus suggesting that the host factor eEF1A2 is essential for HBV Pol's anti-apoptosis properties. Our findings have revealed a novel role for HBV Pol in its modulation of apoptosis through integrating with eEF1A2.

연구배경: 기존의 양압환기법은 기관내관이나 기관절개술을 통해서만 시행되어 왔으나 최근 이러한 인공기도에 의한 기도합병증을 피하기 위한 방법으로 안연 또는 코마스크를 환자~인공환기기 사이의 매체로 이용하는 비침습적 환기법 (noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, 이하 NIV라 함)이 시도되고 있다. 이에 저자 등응 급성호흡부전 환자들에서 NIV의 적용 가능성, 치료성공율 및 치료성공과 연관된 지표를 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방법: 대상응 급성 환기부전 (acute vemilarory failure, 이하 VF : $PaCO_2$ > 43 mrn Hg & pH < 7.35)이나 급성 산소화호흡부전 (acure oxygenarion failure, 이하 OF : $PaO_2/FIO_2$ < 300 mrn Hg & $pH{\geq}7.35$)으로 기계호흡이 필요했던 환자 106 예 중 NIV 시도가 가능한 환자 26명이었으며, 총 VF 19예 중 11 예 (57.9%) (남 : 여 =7 : 4, $55.4{\pm}14.6$세), 총 OF 87예 중 15 예 (17.2%) (남 : 여 =12 : 3, $50.6{\pm}15.6$세)에서 NIV 시도가 가능하였다. 결과: 1. 기관내삽관 없이 NIV로 기계호흡 이탈까지 성공한 환자는 VF에서 81.8% (9/11), OF에서 40%(6/15)였다. NIV 의 합병증은 코부위 피부괴사와 가스성 위장 팽대 각 1예씩 이었다. 2. 환기부전 환자의 NIV 성공 예 에서 분당호흡 수는 기저치에 비해 NIV 시작 12시간 후(각각 $34{\pm}9$회, $26{\pm}6$회, p=0.045)에 유의한 감소를 보였다. $PaCO_2$와 pH는 모두 기저치에 비해 NIV 시작 24시간 후($PaCO_2$ 각각 $87.3{\pm}20.6$, $81.2{\pm}9.1$ mm Hg, p < 0.05, pH 각각 $7.26{\pm}0.04$, $7.32{\pm}0.02$, p < 0.05)에 유의한 호전을 보였다. 3. 산소화부전에서 NIV가 성공한 6 예와 실패한 9 예에서 $PaCO_2$는 NIV 시작전 (각각 $59.8{\pm}9.2$, $76.0{\pm}22.8$ mm Hg), NIV 시작 후 30분 (각각 $121.5{\pm}20.2$, $99.6{\pm}35.8$ mm Hg,), 6시간 (각각 $100.0{\pm}26.4$, $76.2{\pm}22.3$ mm Hg) 및 12시간 ($88.7{\pm}28.7$, $74.3{\pm}16.7$ mm Hg)에 서로 유의한 차이가 없었으나 (모두 p > 0.05), $PaO_2/FIO_2$ 비는 NIV 성공 예에서는 각각 $120.0{\pm}19.6$, $218.9{\pm}98.3$, $191.3{\pm}55.2$ 및 $232.8{\pm}17.6$ mm Hg (p=0.0211)로 상승한 반면, 실패 예에서는 $127.9{\pm}63.0$, $116.8{\pm}24.4$, $100.6{\pm}34.6$ 및 $129.8{\pm}50.3$ mm Hg (p=0.5319)로 유의한 상승이 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 비침습적 환기법은 급성 환기부전군에서 급성 산소화부전에 비해 적용성과 성공율이 높으며, 환기부전의 NIV 성공 예에서는 분당호흡수의 감소가 선행하고 $PaO_2$와 pH의 호전이 뒤따랐고 산소화부전에서는 NIV 시작 30분 후의 $PaO_2/FIO_2$ 비가 성공적 NIV 적용 여부의 한 예측 지표가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

The effect of different phytogenic feed additives on reducing odorous compounds in swine was investigated using in vitro fermentation and analyzed their microbial communities. Soybean meal (1%) added with 0.1% different phytogenic feed additives (FA) were in vitro fermented using swine fecal slurries and anaerobically incubated for 12 and 24 h. The phytogenic FAs used were red ginseng barn powder (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer, FA1), persimmon leaf powder (Diospyros virginiana L., FA2), ginkgo leaf powder (Ginkgo biloba L., FA3), and oregano lippia seed oil extract (Lippia graveolens Kunth, OL, FA4). Total gas production, pH, ammonianitrogen ($NH_3$-N), hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$), nitrite-nitrogen ($NO_2{^-}$-N), nitrate-nitrogen ($NO_3{^-}$-N), sulfate (${SO_4}^{--}$), volatile fatty acids (VFA) and other metabolites concentration were determined. Microbial communities were also analyzed using 16S rRNA DGGE. Results showed that the pH values on all treatments increased as incubation time became longer except for FA4 where it decreased. Moreover, FA4 incubated for 12 and 24 h was not detected in $NH_3$-N and $H_2S$. Addition of FAs decreased (p<0.05) propionate production but increased (p<0.05) the total VFA production. Ten 16S rRNA DGGE bands were identified which ranged from 96 to 100% identity which were mostly isolated from the intestine. Similarity index showed three clearly different clusters: I (FA2 and FA3), II (Con and FA1), and III (FA4). Dominant bands which were identified closest to Eubacterium limosum (ATCC 8486T), Uncultured bacterium clone PF6641 and Streptococcus lutetiensis (CIP 106849T) were present only in the FA4 treatment group and were not found in other groups. FA4 had a different bacterial diversity compared to control and other treatments and thus explains having lowest odorous compounds. Addition of FA4 to an enriched protein feed source for growing swine may effectively reduce odorous compounds which are typically associated with swine production.

The purpose of study is to evaluate in vitro anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of Moringa Folium and Eucommiae Cortex 2:1 (g/g) mixtures (MEMix). HaCaT and human normal dermal fibroblast were treated with 0.01-1 mg/mL of MEMix to monitor cytotoxicity. Radical scavenging activities of MEMix were examined by DPPH assay. To explore anti-inflammatory effect, Raw 264.7 cells were pretreated with MEMix for 1h and subsequently exposed to LPS for 18h. NO release and cytotoxicity of Raw 264.7 cells were measured by adding Griess and MTT reagents, respectively. TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and PGE2 productions were examined by ELISA. Immunoblot analysis was conducted to examine COX-2 expression in MEMix pretreated Raw 264.7 cells. Up to 1 mg/mL concentration, treatment of MEMix for 24 h did not affect normal dermal fibroblast viability and significantly reduced cell viability of HaCaT cells with no concentration dependency. MEMix increased DPPH radical scavenging activity with concentration dependency. Radical scavenging activities by 1 mg/mL of MEMix was comparable with 30 µM of trolox. Pretreatment of MEMix did not change the reduction of Raw 264.7 cell viability. Exposure of LPS in Raw 264.7 cells significantly increased NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and PGE2 productions, and MEMix pretreatment attenuated these productions by LPS concentration dependently. However, pretreatment with MEMix did not change COX-2 expression by LPS in Raw 264.7 cells. MEMix showed in vitro anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. MEMix would be useful candidate agent against inflammation.
