Gutta-percha와 근관sealer를 사용한 근관 충전은 가장 많이 이용되고 성공률이 높은 방법이지만, 현재 사용되는 모든 근관sealer는 미세누출을 나타낸다. 따라서 더 효과적인 근관 폐쇄를 이루기 위한 재료 및 방법들이 연구되어왔다. 이중 상아질 접착제는 근관 충전재와 함께 사용되어 미세누출을 감소시키지만, 근관 내에 사용하기에 술식이 복잡하고 기술이 요구된다. 본 연구의 목적은 gutta-percha와 레진계 근관 sealer로 충전한 근관에서 self-etching primer를 미리 도포한 경우와 도포하지 않은 경우의 치근단 미세누출을 비교하고, self-etching primer를 도포함에 있어 근관 내에 적용하는 방법에 따른 미세누출을 비교하는 것이다. 또한 근관sealer와 상아질 계면을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하여, 이 결과를 미세누출과 관련시켜보고자 하였다. 36개의 발거된 사람의 단근치에서 치관부를 절단, 제거하고 ProFile로 근관 형성한 후, 무작위로 선택하여 4개의 군으로 분류하였다. 1군에서는 주사기와 30게이지 주사 바늘로 self-etching primer를 근관 내에 적용하였고, 2군에서는 self-etching primer를 paper point에 적셔 근관 내에 적용하였다. 3군에서는 self-etching primer를 적용하지 않았다. 1, 2, 3군의 치아를 gutta-percha와 AH26 sealer를 사용하여 continuous wave 충전법으로 충전한 후 치근단공 주위 3mm를 제외한 치근변에 nail polish를 2회 도포하였고, 4군(음성 대조군)은 치근면 전체에 도포하였다. 1군과 2군에서 각각 2개의 치아는 주사전자현미경적 관찰을 위해 준비하였다. 모든 치아를 Methylene Blue 수용액에 48시간동안 침적, 수세한 후 치아 장축에 평행하게 양분하여 10배의 실물확대현미경 하에서 치근단 색소 침투를 관찰하였다. Self-etching primer를 도포한 군과 도포하지 않은 군 사이에는 평균 미세누출량에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 주사 바늘로 적용한 군과 paper point로 적용한 군 사이에도 평균 미세누출량에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 상아질과 근관 sealer계면의 주사전자현미경 관찰 결과 일부분에서 긴밀한 접착 관계를 나타내었고, 다른 부분에서는 간극을 나타내었다.

해양환경용 선박재료는 전기화학적인 부식을 발생시키는 염소이온($Cl^-$)이 다량 포함된 부식 환경에 장기간 노출되어 있어 부식에 대해 취약하다. 따라서 우수한 내식성 및 내침식성을 가진 재료를 선정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 알루미늄 합금은 충분한 강도와 부동태 피막 형성으로 인해 내식성이 우수하여 해양환경용 선박 재료로서 널리 이용되고 있으며, 이에 따른 부식 특성에 관한 연구도 활발히 이뤄지고 있다. 그러나 선박에서는 부식에 의한 손상뿐만 아니라 전식에 의한 부식 손상도 발생할 수 있다. 특히 선미 부분은 프로펠러의 동합금과 알루미늄 합금의 이종금속 간 전위차에 의한 전식이 발생하여 선체의 다른 부위에 비해 부식이 더 심하게 진행될 수도 있다. 또한 전식은 해안 부두에 접안된 선박의 용접 시미주전류(stray current)에 의한 부식손상이 발생할 수 있으나 이에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 해양환경에서의 전식을 인위적으로 모사할 수 있는 부식 정전류 시험법을 이용하여 다양한 크기의 전식 손상을 유발시켰으며, 해양환경 하에서 선박재료로 주로 사용되는 알루미늄 합금인 Al5083-H321, Al5052-O, Al6061-T6에 대한 전식 특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 실험 방법으로 작동전극은 각 재료의 시험편을 $2cm{\times}2cm$ 으로 절단하여 sand paper # 2000 번까지 연마 후 아세톤과 증류수로 세척하고 건조하였으며, 제작된 시험편은 자체 제작한 홀더를 이용하여 $1cm^2$만 노출시킨 후 정전류 가속 실험을 실시하였다. 기준전극은 은/염화은(Ag/AgCl) 전극을, 대응전극은 백금(Pt) 전극을 사용하였다. 정전류 가속 조건은 $0.001mA/cm^2$, $0.1mA/cm^2$, $1mA/cm^2$, $5mA/cm^2$, $10mA/cm^2$의 전류 밀도를 천연해수에서 30분간 인가하였다. 각 재료에 대한 전식 특성은 실험 전후의 무게 감소량으로 전식의 저항 특성을 확인하였다. 그리고 3D 현미경으로 표면 손상 경향과 깊이를 측정하였으며, 주사전자현미경 (SEM)을 통해 표면 형상을 미시적으로 관찰하였다. 부식 정전류 시험 결과 모든 시편에서 $0.01mA/cm^2$에서 미세한 국부적인 부식이 일어났으며, 전류밀도가 증가할수록 표면 전반에 부식이 진행되고 성장하였다. 그리고 모든 인가 전류밀도의 조건에서 Al6061-T6가 5000계열(Al5083-H321, Al5052-O)보다 더 우수한 내식성을 나타났다.

This study was carried out to investigate PSS (Porcine Stress Syndrome) with the PSE (Pale, Soft, Exudative) in 319 different pigs(Yorkshire 150; Landrace 89 and Duroc 80). The PCR-RFLP method was adapted to detect the ryanodine receptor (RYR 1) gene mutation and to estimate the genotype frequency of the RYR1 gene in breeding pig population. The DNA samples were collected from hair follicles of pigs of Yorkshire, Landrace and Duroc. After DNA amplification by PCR, the PCR products were digested by restriction enzyme, Cfo I. Primary PCR products of ryanodine receptor gene were length of 659 bp in hair follicle and their second PCR products were length of 522 bp in hair follicle. The exon region (522 bp) including point mutation ($C \arrow T; Arg \arrow Cys$) in the porcine ryanodine receptor gene, which is a causal mutation for PSS, was digested with Cfo I restriction enzyme. The RYR1 gene was classifed into three genotypes by agarose gel electrophoresis. The normal homozygous (NN) individuals showed two DNA fragments consisted of 439 and 83 bp. The mutant homozygous (nn) individuals showed only one DNA fragment 522 bp. In addition, all three fragments (522, 439 and 83 bp) were showed in heterozygous (Nn) carrier animals. The normal homozygous (NN), heterozygous (Nn) and mutant homozygous (nn) were 98.00, 2.00 and 0.00% in Yorkshire pigs, 87.64, 11.24 and 1.12% in Landrace, 100.00, 0.00 and 0.00% in Duroc, respectively. The gene frequencies of N and n were 0.990 and 0.010 in Yorkshire pigs, 0.933 and 0.067 in Landrace, 1.000 and 0.000 in Duroc, respectively.

Despite its superior ability to show distinct cellular morphology and for long-term storage, conventional tissue fixation by formalin has many drawback, including slower fixation, the exposure to harmful chemicals and extensive protein modification. Herein, we assessed the effects of rapid microwave-assisted tissue fixation on histological examination and on protein integrity by comparing these microwave irradiation fixated tissues with the formalin-fixed tissues. One of the paired mouse tissues (liver and kidney) was fixed in formalin and the other was fixed by using microwave irradiation in phosphate buffered saline. Each slide from the paraffin-embedded tissues was examined by H & E staining for the adequacy of fixation and by immunohistochemical staining for antigenicity in a blinded fashion. Evaluation of protein recovery and the protein quality from the fixed tissues were analyzed by the BCA method and Western blotting, respectively. The results from H & E staining and immunohistochemical staining showed that the sections obtained from microwave-fixed tissues under our experimental conditions were comparable to those of the formalin-fixed tissues except for the integrity of RBCs. Furthermore, proteins were effectively extracted from the microwave-fixed tissues with acceptable preservation of the proteins' quality. Taken together, this microwave-assisted tissue processing yields a quick fixation and better protein recovery in higher amounts, as well as the adequacy of fixation and the antigenicity being comparable to formalin-fixed tissues, and this all suggests that this new fixation technique can be applied in an environment where rapid tissue fixation is required.

This study was conducted to investigate the potential of chicken feather (CF), which is a by-product in poultry industry, as a partial substitute of wood fiber in the production of wood-based fiberboard. Keratin-type protein constituted the majority of CF, and its appearance did not differ from that of wood fiber. When the formaldehyde (HCHO) adsorptivities of CF compared by its pretreatment type, feather meal (FM), which was pretreated CF with high temperature and pressure and then grounded, showed the highest HCHO adsorptivity. In addition, there was no difference between the adsorbed HCHO amounts, which was measured by dinitrophenylhydrazine method, of scissors-chopped CF and CF beated with an electrical blender. Mechanical properties and HCHO emission of medium-density fiberboards (MDF), which were fabricated with wood fiber and 5 wt% CF, beated CF or FM based on the oven-dried weight of wood fiber, were not influenced by the pretreatment type of CF. However, when the values compared with those of MDF made with just wood fiber, thickness swelling and HCHO emission of the MDF were improved greatly with the addition of CF, beated CF or FM. Based on the results, it might be possible to produce MDF with improved dimensional stability and low HCHO emission if CF, beated CF or FM is added partially as a substitute of wood fiber in the manufacturing process of MDF produced with the conventional urea-formaldehyde resin of $E_1$ grade. However, the use of CF or FM in the production of MDF has a low economic feasibility at the current situation due to the securing difficulty and high cost of CF. In order to enhance the economic feasibility, it requires to use CF produced at small to medium-sized chicken meat plants. More importantly, it is considered that the technology developed from this research has a great potential to make provision for the prohibition of animal-based feed and to dispose environmentally avian influenza-infected poultry.

Purpose : Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) is the major cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children. This study was performed to analyze antigenic and genetic variation of G protein of subgroup A RSV. Methods : One hundred seventy-nine strains isolated at the Seoul National University Children's Hospital over 8 years-period from 1990 through 1998 were analysed for antigenic and genetic variability. Analysis was made by reactivity with monoclonal antibodies raised against RSV, and by restriction mapping and, for selected strains, nucleotide sequencing following amplification of full sequence of G gene by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results : Restriction fragment analysis of the amplified G protein gene revealed 23 restriction patterns, 12 of which included more than 2 isolate, and the most frequent genetic type comprised 30% of the strains. Indirect immunofluorescent staining with monoclonal antibodies revealed 6 antigenic types with one predominant pattern accounting for 91% of the total strains. The most frequent antigenic type had 21 restriction patterns, and some viruses with same restiction pattern had different monoclonal antibody reaction pattern. Nucleotide sequence homology of subgroup A was 91~93% between reference(A2, Long) and Korean isolates, 93~99% among Korean isolates. Maximum-parsimony analysis demonstrated that Korean isolates were distinct from reference strains and subgroup A strains were clustered in 4 groups. Conclusion : The restriction analysis pattern of G protein gene identified greater diversity within subgroup A than was seen with the monoclonal analysis and a variety of antigenic and genetic types of RSV are circulating in Korea which are different from reference strains or strains isolated from other countries.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the C-factor and shrinkage strain values of composite resin and examine the strain values in different incremental filling techniques. Experiment consisted two aims. First, we compared with strain value in two different C-factors(3.7 and 1.0). Second, we examined the strain values in three different filling techniques. The results of the present study can be summarized as follows : 1. High C-factor groups showed higher contraction stress values than low C-factor groups at 900 sec after polymerization. 2. Hybrid resin showed higher contraction stress values than flowable resin in high C-factor cavities. But contraction stress was not revealed significant difference between hybrid resin and flowable resin in low C-factor cavities (P>0.05). 3. Bulk felling with hybrid resin(Group 1) showed high contraction stress and lining with flowable resin followed hybrid resin (Group 5) showed lower contraction stress. 4. Contraction stress were increased during 900 sec after polymerization in high C-factor groups but decreased gradually after 900 sec. 5. Low C-factor groups showed tight marginal seal between resin and cavity wall but high C-factor groups showed gaps formed between resin and cavity wall in part. On the basis above results, layering techniques in high C-factor cavity showed advantages in reducing contraction stress and gap formation between cavity wall and resin restoration.

This study was carried out to develop a DNA marker for identifying between Korean cattle (Hanwoo) and other breeds. First experiment was performed to isolate Hanwoo specific DNA marker at sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs). Five breeds of cattle including Hanwoo, Holstein, Hereford, Angus and Charolais were represented with the from 8 to 20 individuals. Fourteen primers of 300 arbitrary primers of 10 nucleotides showed reproducible polymorphism across the breeds. An amplified band of 0.9 kb in the primer MG-3 showed the specificity to Holstein breed. And MG-6 and MG-12 detected the Hereford and Hanwoo specific markers at the size of 2.0 kb and 1.0 kb, respectively. A 1.0 kb band of MG-12 was cloned and sequenced. A SCAR primer was designed based on the obtained sequences. It was possible to identify the Hanwoo from Holstein breed. Second experiment was carried out to observe the genotype frequencies of MC1R in 1,044 samples of imported beef and eight different cattle breeds including Hanwoo, Holstein, Angus, Brown-Swiss, Charolais, Limousin, Simmental and Hereford. The primers for the amplification of bovine MC1R gene were designed based on a bovine MC1R gene sequence (GenBank accession no.Y19103). A size of 350 bp was amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR), digested with two different restriction enzyme, BsrFI and MspA II, and electrophoresed in 2.5% Metaphore agarose gel for determination of genotypes. Genotype frequencies of Hanwoo were 0.10 in E+e and 0.90 in ee. Allele ED was shown in all of Holstein and Angus breeds tested which have black coat color phenotypes. We suggested that SCAR marker and the bovine MC1R gene could be used as a DNA marker for distinguishing beef between Hanwoo and Holstein.

This study explored all domestic and international theories for maintenance and health enhancement of an old and big tree, and carried out the anatomical survey of the operation part of the tree toward he current status of domestic surgery and the perception survey of an expert group, and drew out following conclusion through the process of suggesting its reform plan. First, as a result of analyzing the correlation of the 67 subject trees with their ages, growth status. surroundings, it revealed that they were closely related to positional characteristic, damage size, whereas were little related to materials by fillers. Second, the size of the affected part was the most frequent at the bough sheared part under $0.09m^2$, and the hollow size by position(part) was the biggest at 'root + stem' starting from the behind of the main root and stem As a result of analyzing the correlation, the same result was elicited at the group with low correlation. Third, the problem was serious in charging the fillers (especially urethane) in the big hollow or exposed root produced at the behind of the root and stem part, or surface-processing it. The benefit by charging the hollow part was analyzed as not so much. Fourth, the surface-processing of fillers currently used (artificial bark) is mainly 'epoxy+woven fabric+cork', but it is not flexible, so it has brought forth problems of frequent cracks and cracked surface at the joint part with the treetextured part. Fifth, the correlation with the external status of the operated part was very high with the closeness, surface condition, formation of adhesive tissue and internal survey result. Sixth, the most influential thing on flushing by the wrong management of an old and big tree was banking, and a wrong pruning was the source of the ground part damage. In pruning a small bough can easily recover itself from its damage as its formation of adhesive tissue when it is cut by a standard method. Seventh, the parameters affecting the times of related business handling of an old and big tree are 'the need of the conscious reform of the manager and related business'. Eighth, a reform plan in an institutional aspect can include the arrangement of the law and organization of the old and big tree management and preservation at an institutional aspect. This study for preparing a reform plan through the status survey of the designated old and big tree, has a limit inducing a reform plan based on the status survey through individual research, and a weak point suggesting grounds by any statistical data. This can be complemented by subsequent studies.
