본 연구는 도로표면의 기복 또는 굴곡의 변화가 자동차 탑승자에게 미치는 자율신경계의 반응을 관찰하고자 하였다. 아스팔트, 시멘트, 비포장도로를 각각 30 km/h의 속력으로 정속 주행하면서 ECG, GSR, Skin Temperature 의 생리변화를 3분간 측정하였고, 주행 후에는 각각의 도로 주행시 느꼈던 감성의 변화를 주관적 평가지로 검정하였다. 건강한 5명의 지원자가 이 실험에 참여하였고 도로표면의 기복의 변화로부터 유발되는 감성에만 집중하도록 요구하여 다른 간섭효과로부터 유발되는 감성의 변화를 최소화하도록 하였다. 정차에 비해 각 도로 주행시 피험자는 아스팔트, 시멘트, 비포장도로 순서로 불쾌도와 긴장도가 증가하였다고 주관적 평가를 하였다. 또한 아스팔트, 시멘트, 비포장도로 순서로 평균 R-R 간격이 점차 감소하였고, GSR의 진폭은 증가하였으며, 피부온도는 감소하였다. 본 연구로부터 도로표면의 기복의 정도가 증가할수록 교감신경계가 활성화된다는 사실을 관찰할 수 있었고 이러한 결과는 주관적 평가결과와도 일치하였다.

지금까지 감성측정은 심박 변화율, 피부저항, 피부온도 등의 생리 신호를 측정하고 그 신호를 이용하여 비교, 분석하여 왔다. 심박 변화율, 피부저항, 피부온도와 마찬가지로 자율신경계 반응의 하나로써 맥파 또한 인간의 감성을 평가하는 한 파라미터가 될 수 있음을 예상하고 본 연구를 수행하였다. 건강한 피험자 5명을 상대로 긍정과 부정 시각 자극을 각각 주어서 심박 변화율과 맥파의 생리신호를 측정한 후 그 동안 발표되었던 심박 변화율의 결과를 기준으로 맥파의 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 그 결과 평균 R-R 간격의 변화율과 맥파의 최고점 평균 시간 간격의 변화율 그리고 맥파의 최대 기울기점 사이의 시간 간격의 변화율이 유사함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 맥파의 Baseline Deflection 과 Amplitude를 이용하여 감성 측정을 시도하였다. 긍정 시각 자극에 비해 부정 시각 자극 일 때 맥파의 최고점 및 최대 기울기점의 평균 시간 간격은 감소하였고, Baseline Deflection은 증가하였고, Amplitude 는 감소하였다. 이는 부정시각 자극이 교감신경계를 활성화시킴을 보여 주는 것이다. 본 연구를 통하여 맥파도 자율 신경계의 반응을 대면하는 생리신호로써 감성 측정에 유용한 도구임을 검증할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate histologic result of bone substituting materials on extraction sockets. We compare the histologic findings of control, $MBCP^{(R)}$, $Polybone^{(R)}$. Mandibular premolar teeth of Beagle dogs were extracted available for bone filling. All alveolar extraction sockets were thoroughly debrided with surgical curet to remove the periodontal ligament. The graft materials were filled into the extraction sockets. The animals were sacrified 90 days after implantation. Both treated and control mandibular sites were histologically evaluated with light microscopy. Histological observation at 90 days revealed that control and experimental sites were healed uneventfully without any adverse tissue reaction. Regenerated new bone formation ratio is 34.5% for control, 28.4% for $MBCP^{(R)}$, 23.8% for $Polybone^{(R)}$. From this results, it was suggested that $MBCP^{(R)}$, $Polybone^{(R)}$ are promising bone substituting materials to promote normal tissue healing and new bone formation.

Abnormalities of trophoblast due to early inflammation in pregnancy increase the expression of CRP and affect maternal-fetal interactions, leading to preterm birth and preeclampsia. However, biomarkers related to the regulation of CRP expression have not been found. In this study, miRNA associated with increased expression of CRP was identified and their expression was analyzed to reveal biomarkers involved in the regulation mechanism of trophoblast inflammation through miRNAs. miRNAs that were predicted to regulate CRP gene expression in miRNA databases (mirna, TargetScan, MicroCosm) were screened and HTR-8/SVneo cell lines were treated with LPS (20 ng/mL) to induce inflammatory responses in vitro, with selected miR-7, miR-150, miR-186 and miR-424. The expression was analyzed by qRT-PCR. As a result, expression of CRP was significantly increased in LPS-treated trophoblast (p<0.001) and miR-150 and miR-424 expression were significantly decreased (p<0.001). Thus, miR-150 and miR-424 are involved in the regulation of CRP expression in inflammatory-induced trophoblast and may be useful for the prenatal diagnosis of inflammatory obstetric diseases.

Background : The recognition of bronchial asthma as an inflammatory disease led to the search for soluble markers that would be useful in assessing airway inflammation. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a representative proinflammatory cytokine that has been shown to be connected with various inflammatory diseases. IL-6 acts via specific receptors that consist of the IL-6 binding glycoprotein gp80 and the signal transducer gp130. In the search for markers of airway inflammation, delete the role of soluble interleukin-6 receptor (sIL-6R) and IL-6 in acute asthma were investigated. Methods : Serum levels of sIL-6R and IL-6 were measured in 78 acute asthmatics, in 15 patients with asymptomatic asthma and in 10 healthy control subjects by a specific ELISA using a murine antihuman IL-6R, IL-6 mAb ($Quantikine^{(R)}sIL$-6R, IL-6). Results : Serum levels of IL-6 in acute asthmatics significantly exceeded those of control subjects. The levels of sIL-6R in acute asthmatics were also significantly increased compared to those of control subjects. The serum concentrations of IL-6 obtained in acute asthmatics were elevated compared with those in asymptomatic asthmatics. However, association between eosinophilic count/IgE and IL-6/sIL-6R in acute asthma could not be found. Conclusion : Our results suggest that IL-6 may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute asthma, and serum levels of IL-6 and sIL-6R may reflect the severity of airway inflammation.

This work, which was about the synthesis of 3-(1,8-Naphthalimido) propyl methacrylate and GMA copolymers and their physical properties, investigated the compositions of the copolymer, the reactivity ratios of the monomer, resonance effect(Q), polar effect(e) and fluorescence effect of 1,8-naphthalicanhydride. Azobisisobutyronitronitryl(AIBN) as an initiator was employed at $60^{\circ}C$ with dimethylformamide(DMF) of solvent for the copolymerization of NIPM. $r_1$ was found to be higher than $r_2$ from the reactivity ratios of the monomer obtained from F-R and K-T methods. NIPM was found to be more copolymerized than GMA. The fluorescence spectrums of these polymers showed a weak monomer fluorescence band at 380 nm and a strong excimer fluorescence band at about 460 nm.

(R,S)-3-amino-n-butanoic acid$(DL-\;{\beta}\;-homoalanine)$ has been kinetically resolved using Alcaligenes denitrificans Y2k-2 as a biocatalyst, which was isolated from soil by enrichment culture, which was carried out with minimal media containing (R,S)-3-amino-n-butanoic acid as a sole nitrogen source. The enzyme which peformed this kinetic resolution assumed to belong to the ${\omega}-transaminase$ family, because A. denitrificans used pyruvate as amino acceptor and its transaminase activity was inhibited by gabaculine, aminooxy acetic acid and hydroxylamine. In whole cell reaction, (R,S)-3-amino-n-butanoic acid was kinetically resolved to the corresponding (R)-3-amino-n-butanoic acid with excellent E (>100) in the presence of pyruvate as an amino acceptor at $37^{\circ}C$. (S-specific) We observed the substrate inhibition for pyruvate at 100mM. In this study, characteristics of transaminase activity of Alcaligenes denitrificans Y2k-2, such as substrate specificity and thermostability, are carried out for the development of (R)-3- amino-n-butanoic acid production system.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of obesity, serum lipids and CRP in Korean adults. The predictors of obesity and serum lipids were the subject's general characteristics, life style, eating habit and nutrients. The predictors of CRP were the subject's general characteristics, life style, eating habit, nutrients, obesity and serum lipids. Method: 115 subjects who had visited the health examination center at a hospital participated in the study. The data analysed with descriptive analysis, ANOVA, Chi-square test, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Result: Sex, married, eating out ($4{\leq}$/w), eating out (2-3/w) and age ($61{\leq}$) were anticipated variable on BMI ($R^2$=0.488). Sex and overeating (2-3/w) were anticipated variable on body fat($R^2$=0.218). Drink (4-6/w), age (51-60), sex, vegetable fat and Systolic BP were anticipated variable on total cholesterol ($R^2$=0.217). Age (51-60), vegetable fat and unmarried were anticipated variable on LDL ($R^2$=0.180). Sex was anticipated variable on HDL and Triglyceride ($R^2$=0.054, 0.192). Breakfast (1-3/w) and meal (2/d) were anticipated variable on CRP ($R^2$=0.1268). Conclusion: It is thought that decreasing eating out and overeating might be important to prevent obesity. It is thought that decreasing drinking and fat eating might be important to improve serum lipids. It is thought that eating breakfast might be important to decrease CRP.
