  • Pumpkin seed oil (PSO) was investigated for its parasite elimination activity and efficacy in treating disorders of the prostate gland and urinary bladder. We confirmed the composition of PSO and identified its ability to improve vessels. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric (GC-MS) system was used for PSO composition analysis. Cytotoxicity and cell proliferation were confirmed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Nitric oxide(NO) production was measured with Griess reagent, and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 mRNA expression levels were measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). As a result, PSO revealed the presence of several components such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid. Cytotoxic effects of PSO were not observed, and PSO increased nitric oxide production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Additionally, TNF-${\alpha}$-induced cell proliferation and ICAM-1 expression in HUVEC were inhibited by PSO treatment, whereas VCAM-1 expression was not significantly reduced. Taken together, these results show that PSO is worthy of study as a candidate food material for improvement of vascular disease.

  • Gaze detection is to locate the position on a monitor screen where a user is looking by computer vision. Gaze detection systems have numerous fields of application. They are applicable to the man-machine interface for helping the handicapped to use computers and the view control in three dimensional simulation programs. In our work, we implement it with a computer vision system setting a IR-LED based single camera. To detect the gaze position, we locate facial features, which is effectively performed with IR-LED based camera and SVM(Support Vector Machine). When a user gazes at a position of monitor, we can compute the 3D positions of those features based on 3D rotation and translation estimation and affine transform. Finally, the gaze position by the facial movements is computed from the normal vector of the plane determined by those computed 3D positions of features. In addition, we use a trained neural network to detect the gaze position by eye's movement. As experimental results, we can obtain the facial and eye gaze position on a monitor and the gaze position accuracy between the computed positions and the real ones is about 4.8 cm of RMS error.

  • 연구목적:인간의 체외수정 및 배아이식술에서 난관수종을 갖는 환자에서 임신율과 착상률이 감소된다는 보고들이 있지만 이에 대한 명확한 기작은 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 생쥐 배아를 이용한 체외 착상모델에서 인간의 난관수종액(HSF)이 착상과정에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구재료 및 방법 난관수종액은 난관수종으로 수술을 받은 8명의 환자로부터 채취하였으며, 실험에 사용하기 전까지 냉동고에 보관하였다. 생쥐의 포배기 배아는 2-세포기배아를 3일 동안 배양하여 그 중 상태가 양호한 포배기 배아만을 선별하여 투명대를 제거한 후 사용하였다. 기본 배양액으로는 Ham's F-10을 사용하였으며, 배양 시 기본 배양액만을 사용한 경우를 group Ⅰ으로 하였고, 기본 배양액에 0.5% FBS를 첨가한 경우를 group Ⅱ, 0.5% FBS와 50% HSF를 첨가한 경우를 group Ⅲ , 100% HSF에 0.5% FBS를 첨가한 경우를 group Ⅳ,100% HSF만을 사용한 경우를 group Ⅴ로 하였다. 투명대를 제거한 포배기 배아를 각각의 HSF에 대한 5종류의 배양액에서 48시간 동안 배양하였다. 체외 착상 유무는 부착 부위에서 크기가 커진 영양세포들을 관찰하여 판정하였으며, 착상 부위의 표면적은 화상분석기를 이용하여 산출하였다. 결 과: 생쥐 배아의 체외 착상률은 group Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ에서 각각 0%, 98.9%, 77.5%, 40.4%, 10.0%로 나타났으며, 착상 부위의 평균 표면적은 group Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ에서 각각 $74,675{\pm}25,201{\mu}m^2$, $59,024{\pm}25,877{\mu}m^2$, $45,156{\pm}22,654{\mu}m^2$, $38,254{\pm}17,115{\mu}m^2$이었다. 체외 착상률과 부위의 표면적은 HSF의 농도가 증가함에 따라 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.001). 결론:인간의 난관수종액(HSF)은 생쥐 배아의 체외 착상과 영양배엽세포의 증식을 억제하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이러한 원인이 난관수종을 갖는 환자에서 임신율이 낮은 것과 밀접한 관련이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • 연구목적: 포유류의 착상은 배아가 모체의 자궁벽에 매몰되는 현상으로 부착과 침투 과정을 거쳐 진행되며, 이 과정은 스테로이드 호르몬, 성장인자, 세포점착분자, 그리고 cytokine 등의 상호작용으로 이루어진다. 이 시기에 Interleukin-1 (IL-1)과 leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) 등이 발현되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 실험에서는 이들의 발현이 착상과정에 어떠한 역할을 하는지 그 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법: 착상 전후의 배아와 자궁내막세포에서 LIF 유전자의 발현양상과 $IL-1{\beta}$와 IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra)를 처리한 LIF 유전자의 발현양상을 역전사중합효소연쇄반응 (RT-PCR)을 통해 비교하였다. 결과: 배아에서의 LIF 유전자 발현은 in vivo와 in vitro 모두에서 상실기와 포배기에 발현되었고, 자궁내막에서는 임신 1일과 4일째에 발현되었는데, 상실기보다는 포배기에, 그리고 임신 1일보다는 착상시기인 4일째의 자궁내막세포에서 발현양이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 자궁내막세포를 배양한 경우 LIF 유전자는 in vivo에서의 발현양상과 동일하게 임신 1일과 4일에 발현되었으며, 배양액에 $IL-1{\beta}$(500pgml)를 처리하였을 경우 LIF 유전자가 초기 임신 (1~5일) 중 발현되는 것으로 나타났다. 2-세포기 배아의 배양시에 $IL-1{\beta}$를 처리한 경우 8-세포기부터 LIF 유전자가 발현되었으며, 또한 IL-1ea(60 ng/ml)를 배양액에 첨가하였을 경우에는 임신1일째 자궁내막에서는 LIF 유전자가 발현되지 않은 반면, 임신 4일째의 자궁내막세포와 상실기, 포배기 배아 모두에서 LIF 유전자 발현이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 결론: 이러한 결과는 착상 전후 배아와 자궁내막세포에서 IL-1에 의해 LIF 유전자 발현이 조절되며, 그 결과 착상에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 배아와 자궁내막세포에서 IL-1이 LIF 유전자 발현에 영향을 주는 것으로 보아 착상을 위해 IL-1과 LIF의 상호작용이 중요한 요인이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • This paper addresses mechanical properties and length change performance of the recycled aggregate concretes(RAC) in which natural coarse was replaced by recycled coarse aggregate(RCA) by compressive strength levels(20, 35, 50 MPa). A total of 9 RAC were produced and classified into three series, each of which included three mixes designed with three compressive strength levels of 20 MPa, 35 MPa and 50 MPa and three RCA replacement ratios of 0, 50 and 100%. Physical/Mechanical properties of RAC were tested for slump test, compressive strength, and length change. The test results indicated that the workability of RC could be improved or same by RCA replacement ratios, when compared with that containing no RCA. This is probably because of the RCA shape improving the workability of RAC. Also, the test results showed that the compressive strength was decreased by 9~10% as the RCA replacement ratios increase. However, the length change ratio by the RCA replacement ratios increased regardless of compressive strength levels. At 20 MPa level, the length change ratio was 8~40% which was much higher than that of 4~17% at both 35 and 50 MPa levels. Therefore, it was considered that such admixture addition preventing dry shrinkage is required in order to improve the properties of the RAC at 20 MPa level.

  • Plastic wastes generated from domestic waste are separated by mixed discharge with foreign substances, and the cost of the separation and screening process increases, so recycling is relatively low. In this study, as a fundamental study for recycling mixed plastic wastes generated from domestic waste into concrete aggregates, changes in concrete properties according to the plastic waste types and the substitution rate were evaluated experimentally. The mixed plastic waste aggregate(MPWA) was found to have a lower density and a higher absorption rate compared to the coarse aggregate with good particle size distribution. On the other hand, the single plastic waste aggregate(SPWA) was composed of particles of uniform size, and both the density and the absorption rate were lower than that of the fin e aggregate. It was found that the MPWA substitution concrete did not cause a material separation phenomenon due to a relatively good particle size distribution even with the largest amount of plastic waste substitution, and the amount of air flow increased little. The compressive strength and flexural strength of the PWA substitution concrete decreased as the amount of substitution of the PWA increased due to the low strength of the PWA, the suppression of the cement hydration reaction due to hydrophobicity, and the low adhesion between the PWA and the cement paste. It was found that the degree of deterioration in compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete substituted with MPWA having good particle size distribution was relatively small.

  • Genomic Project 이후로 다양한 질환에 있어서 유전적인 영향에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 한국인 치주질환 환자에서 Fc ${\gamma}R$ 유전자의 유전자다형성과 치주질환 특성과의 관련성을 알아보는 것이다. 치주적으로 건강한 한국인 90명(대조군, 남자64명, 여자26명), 중도 만성 치주염환자 40명(severe chronic periodontitis patients; severe CP, 남자 24명, 여자 16명)을 대상으로 임상지수(치주낭 깊이, 입상부착소실, 치은지수, 치태지수, 탐침 후 출혈지수, 치조골소실)를 측정하였다. 또한 이들의 정맥혈에서 추출한 DNA를 PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction)법, 전기영동법 등을 이용하여 Fc ${\gamma}RIIIa$ , Fc ${\gamma}RIIIb$의 대립유전자의 존재여부를 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 각 유전자의 다형성 및 Fc ${\gamma}R$ 복합유전자형 (Fc ${\gamma}R$ composite genotype)을 확인하여, 각 군 간을 비교하였다. 치주질환의 특성과 유전자 다형성과의 관련성을 알아보기 위하여 Fc ${\gamma}R$ 유전자에 대한 유전자다형성을 조사한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. Fc ${\gamma}RIIla$에 대한 유전자다형성 연구결과 대조군과 severe CP, AgP군 사이에서, severe CP와 AgP군 사이에서는 대립유전자분포가 서로 유의성 있는 차이를 나타내었지만(p<0.05), Fc ${\gamma}RIIlb$에서는 유의성 있는 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 2. Fc ${\gamma}R$ 복합유전자형간의 비교에서 유의성 있는 차이를 발견할 수 없었다(p>0.05). 이와 같은 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 실험대상 한국인 치주염환자에서 Fc ${\gamma}R$ 유전자에 대한 다형성분석에서 Fc ${\gamma}RIIIa$ 대립유전자가 치주염에 대한 감수성과 관련되어 있다고 생각된다. 이 연구의 결과는 유전자의 차이가 치주질환의 감수성 판단의 자료로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주고 있다.

  • VES-LMC (very-early strength latex-modified concrete) has been widely used as repair material for bridge deck overlay or rehabilitation, because the overlaid or repaired could be opened to the traffic after 3 hours of curing. Although the field performance of VES-LMC generally indicates that it has an excellent bonding to the substrate and shows a long term performance, little quantitative data or research results have been presented in the literature on structural studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the flexural behavior, interfacial performance, crack propagation, and strengthen effect of RC beam overlaid or repaired by VES-LMC through the 4-point flexural loading test. Two different types of RC beam were fabricated for repair and rehabilitation types. The test result showed that the strengthen effect, in term of flexural stiffness, increases as the depth of repair or overlay increases. More than 40% of stiffness was improved when the depth of repair was up to steel position. However, there was a little difference between 80 mm and 120 mm repaired beam. This means the repair depth must be considered. The interfacial behavior data showed that the repaired or overlaid beams had a little relative displacement. This means that two materials behave comparatively acting together. However, there were two specimens which had large displacement at the interface, because of poor bond strength. This suggested that interface treatment is one of the most important jobs in composite beams.

  • Presently, the reuse of waste FCC catalysts, which generated from the refining process of crack oil, after the removal of con-taminated metallic impurities have not been attempted domestically yet because the separation technology f3r the impurities from waste catalysts has not been established. As a basic study far the reusable portion from the waste FCC catalysts and treatment of metallic impurities are assured, there will be invoked an significant contribution not only in the recycling of abandoned wastes up to date but also in the treatment efficiency of wastes and extraction of economical benefits from them. The magnetic separation of impurities such as Fe, Ni, and V, from waste FCC catalyst has been attempted with or without its pre-oxidation at high temperature for the purpose of its reuse. The results showed that the separability of impurities by magnetic force was high far non-preoxidized catalysts compared with preoxidized ones, and employment of screen-type matrix showed a higher separation efficiency than ball-type matrix. The separability increased with the strength of magnetic field, and the method of ball matrix has separation efficiency of maximum 51.10%. The amount of metallic impurities was in the decreasing order of V, Ni, and Fe depending upon ICP analysis.

  • Bioprocessing technologies utilizing 'biorecognition' between a solid matrix and a protein is being widely experimented as a means to replacing the conventional, solution-based technology. Frequently the matrices are chromatographic resins with specific functional groups exposed outside. Since the reactions of and interactions with the proteins occur as they are attached to the solid matrix, this 'solid-phase' processing has distinct advantages over the solution-phase technology. Solid-phase refolding of inclusion body proteins uses ion exchange resins to adsorb denaturant-dissolved inclusion body. As the denaturant is slowly removed from the micromoiety around the protein, it is refolded into a native, three-dimensional structure. Once the refolding is complete, the folded protein can be eluted by a conventional elution technique such as the salt-gradient. This concept was successfully extended to 'EBA (expanded bed adsorption)-mediated refolding,' in which the denaturant-dissolved inclusion body in whole cell homogenate is adsorbed to a Streamline resin while cell debris and other impurity proteins are removed by the EBA action. The adsorbed protein follows the same refolding steps. This solid-phase refolding process shows the potential to improve the refolding yield, reduce the number of processing steps and the processing volume and time, and thus improve the overall process economics significantly. In this paper, the experimental results of the solid-phase refolding technology applied to several biopharmaceutical proteins of various types are presented.
