연꽃잎 효과(Lotus effect)라 불리는 자가 세정 효과(self cleaning effect)는 연꽃이 항상 깨끗한 상태를 유지하는 것이 관찰되면서 꾸준히 관심에 대상이 되어 왔었다. 자가 세정 효과는 접촉각 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 초소수성 표면에서 구현이 가능하며 이런 표면을 일상생활부터 산업분야까지 응용하고자 하는 많은 노력들이 있었다. 물질의 친수성 또는 소수성은 표면의 거칠기(roughness)와 표면에너지(surface energy)의 두 가지 특성에 의해 결정된다. 하지만 낮은 표면에너지 물질을 사용해도 접촉각 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 초소수성 표면을 얻긴 힘들며, 표면의 거칠기를 증가시켜야 한다. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene)는 낮은 표면에너지를 가진 소수성 물질로 bulk일 경우 접촉각이 약 $108^{\circ}$이지만 거친 표면을 가진 박막으로 만들 경우 접촉각이 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 값을 가지는 초수수성 표면이 가능한 물질이다. 특히, 초소수성 표면 이외에 우수한 내열성 및 내화학성 특성을 가지고 있어 디스플레이 및 태양전지 등의 자가세정(self cleaning) 보호막으로써 응용이 기대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HFPO (hexafluoropropylene)를 원료 가스로 이용하여, Si(100)과 유리 기판위에 Cat-CVD (Catalytic Chemical Vapor Deposition)법으로 PTFE 박막을 증착하였다. 텅스텐(W)을 촉매로 사용하였으며, 촉매온도가 $850^{\circ}C$이상인 조건에서 접촉각이 $150^{\circ}$ 이상인 초소수성 PTFE 표면을 쉽게 얻을 수 있었다. 특히 본 연구에서는 제막압력을 300 mTorr에서 700 mTorr까지 변화시켜 가며 유리와 Si 기판위에 증착하였다. Cat-CVD 제막압력을 변화시켜가며 증착된 PTFE 박막의 접촉각을 측정한 결과, 제막압력이 300 mTorr일 때 glass와 Si 기판위에 증착된 PTFE박막 표면에서의 접촉각은 각각 133, $117^{\circ}$였지만, 제막압력이 400 mTorr이상일 땐 $150^{\circ}$ 이상의 높은 접촉각을 갖는 초소수성 표면을 얻을 수 있었다.

To maintain good oral hygiene, plaque control is essential and the most common and effective method is appropriate brushing. However accurate brushing is so difficult for children that the importance of brush is getting higher. We investigated the effect of tooth brushing instruction in plaque control for 40 children who came to Kyunghee university dental hospital, department of pediatric dentistry. We examined basic information by self-assessment, evaluated plaque index, tooth & tongue cleanness, malodor index for 4 times and compared values before and after tooth brushing instruction. Plaque index decreased(p<0.01) and tooth & tongue cleanness increased(p<0.01). There were no significant differences in mal-odor index. In conclusion, tooth brushing instruction is effective in removing dental plaque and its beneficial role is highly expected in establishing children's good oral hygiene.

This study evaluated the applicability of the convergence technology by deriving the optimum conditions about operating factors of electrical resistance heating to enhance the soil flushing effect on soil contaminated with bunker C oil in the coastal landfill area. As a result of the batch scale experiment, the flushing efficiency of the VG-2020 was higherthan that of the Tween-80, and the flushing efficiency increased by about 1.4 times at 60℃ compared to room temperature. As a result of the electrical resistance heating box experiment, soil temperature rose to 100℃ in about 40~80 minutes in soil with water content of 20~40%, and it was found that the heat transfer efficiency is excellent when the pipe-shaped electrode rod with STS 316 material is located in a triangular arrangement in saturated soil. In addition, it was confirmed that the interval between the electrode rods to maintain the soil temperature above 60℃ under the optimum conditions was 1.5 m, and the soil flushing box experiment accompanying electrical resistance heating showed TPH reduction efficiency of about 55% at 5 Pore Volume, and satisfied the Korean standard for the conservation of soil (less than TPH 2,000 mg/kg) at 10 Pore Volume.

Using four components - nonionic surfactants, water, hydrocarbon oil and an alcohol as cosurfactant, 12 types of cleaning agents were prepared, and their physical properties such as surface tension, viscosity, electroconductivity and phase stability were measured. As the formulated cleaning agents have low surface tensions(30.5-31.1 dyne/cm) and low viscosities (1.6-7.2 c.p.), they are satisfied with the general physical properties of water-in-oil(W/O) microemulsions for their industrial use. They showed a tendency that their temperature range for stable one-phase microemulsion decreased in accordance with the increase of alcohol/surfactant(A/S) ratio in the formulations. However, the temperature range of one-phase microemulsion was much more affected by hydrophilic lipophillic balance(HLB) value of the nonionic surfactant which increased its temperature range and it increased in accordance with the higher HLB value in the formulations. And the maximum content of water which can keep stable one-phase W/O microemulsion was measured at each sample. In addition, their temperature range for stable one-phase microemulsion was also measured. It was confirmed that the selection of surfactant type was very important for formulating a cleaning agent, since the W/O microemulsion system with the nonionic surfactant of the lower HLB value showed better cleaning efficacy that of the higher HLB value for abietic acid as a soil, which was used for preparing a rosin-type flux. In the formulated cleaning agents with the increase of A/S ratio in the formulations, however, there was no significant difference in cleaning efficacy. It was investigated that the differences of their cleaning efficacy was affected by the change of the condition of temperature and sonicating frequency as important factors in the industrial cleaning. That is, the higher, their cleaning temperature and the lower, their sonicating frequency, the more increased, their cleaning efficacy. Furthermore, using optical instruments like UV/Visable Spectrophotometer and FT-IR Spectrometer, their cleaning efficacy for abietic acid was measured. The removal of soil from the contaminated rinse water was measured by gravity separation method in the rinse bath. As a result, the cleaning agent system having the nonionic surfactant of HLB value 6.4 showed over 85% water-oil separation efficacy at over $25^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was demonstrated in this work that the formulating cleaning agents were very effective for cleaning and economical in the possible introduction of water recycling system.

Oral health is an essential requirement for maintaining and promoting health and quality of life while aging. It is known that there is a deep connection with hygienic management of dentures. However, despite the emphasis on the importance of clean management of dentures, there is a lack of quantitative research on denture-related detergents. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate food stain removal performance of three denture cleansers containing proteolytic enzymes. In addition, this study provides basic data on self-cleaning methods using detergents and suggests ways to improve effective treatment for oral health of elders in domiciliary care. In order to obtain quantitative data concerning food stain removal performance of each proteinase denture cleaner, the test evaluation method proposed by the Korean Consumer Agency, ISO 20795, was used. A total of 18 specimens were discolored for 48 hours in water dissolved with turmeric, and then washed with each denture cleaner for 24 hours. The cleaned denture specimens were measured quantitatively using a spectrophotometer to measure the color values of the denture specimens before the discoloration as well as the color values of the discolored specimens after cleaning with the denture cleanser. The experimental values were analyzed through one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey's test, and statistically significant differences were found among the experimental groups. It was found that C had statistically significant stain removal performance compared with A and B(p<.05). All experiments were conducted for a total of 21 days, from July 3- 23, 2017. This study confirms that denture cleansers is a beneficial self-denture management method for domiciliary seniors. Therefore, it is necessary to extend accessibility for denture cleansers in order to to optimize domiciliary care for elderly oral hygiene and health.

In most of industrial fields, cleaning is employed for removing soils on their products or parts. Halogenated cleaning agents such as CFC-113, 1,1,1-TCE(1,1,1-trichloroethane), MC(methylene chloride) and TCE (trichloroethylene) have been used as cleaning ones in most of companies in the world since their excellent performance of cleaning ability and good material compatibility. However, CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE which are ozone destruction substances are not used any more in the advanced countries because of the which are ozone destruction substances are not used any more in the advanced countries because of the Montreal protocol. MC and TCE are now used restrictively at small part of industrial fields in most of countries since they are known to be hazardous or carcinogenic materials. Thus, it is indispensible that the alternative cleaning agents which are environmental-friendly and safe, and show good cleaning ability should be developed or utilized for replacement of the halogenated cleaning agents. Aqueous/semi-aqueous cleaning agents are evaluated to be promising alternative ones among various alternatives in environmental and economical view point. In this study, commercially available 12 aqueous and 6 semi-aqueous cleaning agents were selected and their physical properties, cleaning abilities, rinsing abilities and recycling of contaminated rinse water were measured and analyzed. Aqueous cleaning agents with higher wetting index showed better cleaning ability compared with those with lower wetting index. However wetting index did not have any correlation with cleaning ability in semi-aqueous cleaning agents. It was observed that soil concentration in aqueous and semi-aqueous cleaning agents should be maintained below the certain concentrations which depend on types of clearing agents. More than 70% soils in contaminated rinse water by some of aqueous and semi-aqueous clearing agents could be separated by simple settling method. This means that some cleaning agents with high oil-water separation efficiency will be effiective for recycling oil-contaminated rinse water. It was found that contaminated rinse water with aqueous agents was purified easiy by ultrafiltration method with PAN membrane of 30 kDa.

일반적으로 세포는 방사능이나 항암제 등의 자극에 의해 DNA가 손상받았을 때 DNA를 합성하기 전, DNA변이를 복구하기 위해 cell cycle을 정지시키게 된다. pRB(retinoblatoma protein)는 이러한 cell cycle의 조절기작에서 중요한 역할을 담당하는 것으로 알려져 있다. G1기에서 S기로 진행하는 것을 조절하는 단백질인 pRB 은 E2F(cell cycle transcription factor)와 상호작용하여 cell cycle 진행에 필요한 전사활성을 억제, PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen)의 합성을 저해한다. 또한, E2F와 결합된 pRB는 apoptosis를 제어하는 유전자를 조절하는 것으로 알려져 있다. Cell cycle에 영향을 미치는 항암제의 일종인 busulfan을 처리하면, 정소 내에 존재하는 대부분의 생식세포들은 사멸되고 spermatogonia만 남는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 그 기작에 대해서는 자세히 연구된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서는 busulfan처리시 spermatogonial stem cell이 어떤 기작에 의해 손상받지 않고 유지되는지를 알아보고자 실험을 수행하였다. Busulfan을 처리한 마우스 (항암제 투여 후 5주)와 정상적인 13주령의 마우스의 정소로부터 각각 세포를 분리하였다. LSC (laser scanning cytometry)를 이용하여 처리군(busulfan treated mice)과 대조군(normal mature mice)에 대해 각각 DNA함량을 비교ㆍ분석한 결과 G0/G1(2N)에 머물러 있는 세포비율이 처리군에서 현저하게 증가했다 (79.3$\pm$5.5%:8.1$\pm$1.3%). Cell cycle의 G1/S check point인 pRB와 PCNA 발현을 Western blot과 면역조직학적인 방법(immunohisto-chemistry)을 이용하여 조사하였다 PCNA는 대조군과 비교해, 처리군에서 매우 낮은 수준으로 발현되었다. 면역염색된 정소단면을 살펴보면, 대조군에서는 모든 세정관에서 PCNA를 발현하는 세포가 높은 비율로 검출되었고, 처리군에서는 소수의 세정관에서 세포들이 낮은 수준으로 검출되었다. 반면에, pRB의 경우 PCNA와는 상반된 결과를 나타내어, 대조군에서는 거의 발현이 되지 않는 반면, 처리군에서는 대부분의 세정관내, 기저막을 따라 위치한 세포들에서 발현되었다. 이상의 결과는 busulfan에 의해 pRB의 인산화가 억제, pRB 와 결합된 E2F는 전사 활성이 억제되어, PCNA 합성을 저해하는 것으로 설명되어질 수 있다. 결론적으로, 인산화가 억제된 pRB (underphosphorylated RB protein)이 quiescent spermatogonial stem cell에서만 특이하게 발현하는 단백질이며, 이러한 pRB의 발현은 apoptosis를 제어하는 역할을 담당해 busulfan처리에 의해 손상받지 않고 남아있는 것으로 시사된다.
