Alginate, obtained from the seaweeds, is a widely used biomaterial for cell transplantation, since its positive effect on viability of capsulized cells and its easier encapsulation capability of living cells. Demineralized bone powder (DBP), derived from the natural bone tissue, is widely applied for clinical trials for its low rate of reaction and antigenicity. A chondrocyte was seeded into an alginate with DBP of different contents, and a microcapsule was produced. The adhesion and proliferation of cells was observed through the MTT analysis, and the PCR was applied to estimate the content of the glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) and collagen, and confirm the specific genetic pattern of the chondrocytes. Also, the alginate microcapsule where the chondrocyte is seeded was extracted after transplantation under the skin of a nude mouse, and was immunochemically stained. The experimental result confirmed that the alginate microcapsule containing 1% of DBP not only showed the highest proliferation of cell but had a positive effect of chondrocytes by the interaction between the alginates and the growth factor in DBP. It can be expected that the microcapsule with application of the alginates and DBP might be an appropriate scaffold for tissue engineering.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has been most widely used due to its advantages such as good biodegradability, controllable rate of degradation and metabolizable degradation products. We manufactured composite scaffolds of PLGA scaffold penetrated DBP gel (PLGA/DBP gel) by a simple method, solvent casting/salt leaching prep of PLGA scaffolds and subsequent soaking in DBP gel. Chondrocytes were seeded on the PLGA/DBP gel. The mechanical strength of scaffold, histology (H&E, Safranin-O, Alcian-blue) and immunohistochemistry (collagen type I, collagen type II) were performed to elucidate in vitro and in vivo cartilage-specific extracellular matrices. It was better to keep the characteristic of chondrocytes in the PLGA/DBP gel scaffolds than that PLGA scaffolds. This study suggests that PLGA/DBP gel scaffold may serve as a potential cell delivery vehicle and a structural basis for in vivo tissue engineered cartilage.

우리나라 고추 재배는 ha당 총 노동투하시간 2,436 hr 중 수확작업시간은 954 hr으로 총 노동투하시간의 39.2%를 점유하고 있어 수확작업의 생력화를 위해 고추수확작업의 기계화가 절실히 필요하다. 고추 수확의 기계화를 위해 국내 T사에서 자주식 고추 수확기를 개발 중에 있다. 현재 고추를 기계로 채취하게 되면 많은 양의 줄기달린 고추가 유입되므로 수확 후 분리하는 작업에 있어 많은 인력과 시간이 소요되는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 드럼 회전 타입의 2차 탈실부 요인시험 장치를 제작하여 드럼의 회전속도, 드럼과 급치 사이 간격에 대해 요인시험을 수행함으로써 자주식 고추수확기 2차 탈실부의 적정 작업조건을 파악함에 목적을 두었다. 탈실부 요인시험 장치는 급치가 부착된 3개의 드럼 형태의 탈실부와 이송벨트로 구성된다. 공시재료인 고추는 광주광역시 남구 승촌동 소재의 개인농가에서 Plastic 온실로 재배된 '천상' 품종을 사용하였다. 본 요인시험은 드럼의 회전속도(40, 70, 100, 130 rpm)와 드럼과 급치 사이 간격(2, 5, 10 mm)으로 요인을 설정하여 시험을 수행하였다. 시험은 각 요인 당 3반복으로 실시하였으며, 투입되는 시료는 줄기달린 고추를 3가지의 형태로 구분하여 제작하였다. 각 요인에 따라 고추의 탈실률, 손상률에 대해 통계프로그램인 SAS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 드럼의 회전속도에 따른 요인시험결과, 손상 대비 탈실률로 비교했을 때 회전속도 40 rpm에서 탈실률 47.69%, 손상률 8.33%로 성능이 가장 낮았으며, 회전속도 70 rpm에서 탈실률 63.89%, 손상률 12.96%로 성능이 가장 높았다. 드럼과 급치 사이의 간격에 따른 요인시험결과, 간격이 클수록 탈실률 및 손상률이 줄어드는 경향을 보였으며, 5 mm일 때 성능이 가장 높았다. 반복이 있는 이원배치법을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 고추 탈실률과 손상률은 드럼의 회전속도와 드럼과 급치 사이 간격 모두에서 유의차가 발생한다고 나타났다. 요인시험 결과를 종합적으로 고려해 보았을 때, 드럼 회전속도 70 rpm, 드럼과 급치 사이 간격 5 mm에서 가장 높은 성능을 보였다. 고추 탈실률이 낮고, 손상률이 높아 탈실장치로서의 기능에 어려움이 있을 것으로 보이므로 추후 급치 타입의 변경 등 탈실장치의 보완 및 개선이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is a rare X-linked, recessively inherited disorder of purine metabolism, caused by complete absence of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase. This syndrome is characterized by 3 major features: neurological dysfunction, hyperuricemia, and cognitive and behavioral disturbances (e.g., self-mutilation, which begins at 2 to 3 years of age). Uncontrollable self-mutilation begins with biting of the perioral tissues and extends into patterns such as finger biting and head hitting. This report describes the case of a 31-month-old boy who was diagnosed with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome with severe lip injuries caused by self-mutilative behaviors. The behaviors were blocked with a semi-fixed lip bumper for a short period. The device was applied to the patient on the day of the visit without the requirement for an oral impression. It was easy to manage oral hygiene and adjust the device because it was detachable by clinicians and guardians. Therefore, a semi-fixed lip bumper may be useful as an interim appliance to block selfmutilative behaviors in children with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.

Recently, looking at construction sites with either large or small scale, accidents like collision, fall, etc. occur often. These accidents lead to not only damage of human lives but also serious economic loss. In case of large scale constructions sites, safety management systems are used to reduce industrial accidents. However in construction sites with small scale, those systems cannot be applied due to problems such as lack of compatability and high installation expense. In this case, just by putting on safety gears can also reduce industrial accidents. Therefore, in this paper, a safety management systems that can be used at both large and small scale construction sites is proposed. This safety management system consists of a smart module, a repeater and a gateway, and a monitoring system. The smart module, which is detachable, is attached to a safety helmet. This module transfers the current status of the user to the monitoring system through the repeater and the gateway. The repeater transfers the data received from the smart module to the gateway, and the gateway sends the data from the repeater to the monitoring system. The monitoring system shows the user status to the safety supervisor by displaying the data - temperature, height, intensity of illumination, images - received from the smart module. The safety supervisor can monitor the user status in real-time and take immediate action in case of emergency through this monitoring system.

This study examined PCB component cleaning on a PCB component surface, which has defects of precipitation type washing (existing rinse method), sealant and foreign material formed in the adhesive process that could not be removed easily. The spin jig was developed for PCB component cleaning, in which the PCB component settled down, to solve the conventional problem of the removal of foreign material with the centrifugal force by high speed rotation. The results are as follows. With decreasing fraction defect in PCB component washing, the development and substrate damage decreased by more than 80% according to the abstergent in the rotary type using the centrifugal force in the existing precipitation type. When the base plate showed a large difference with the time to include the process after washing the design using the existing method, easy attachment and separation of the PCB component could be possible. The washing time was enhanced 90% compared to the existing time. The reliability of the security and washing collaboration of the design and stability of the cleaning process could be secured so that there was no phenomenon of secession, the PCB component fixed for a cleansing rotation jig could maintain a fixed force by the centrifugal force. The stability and reliability of the washing process and the defective rate could be improved to less than 1%.

Temperature of fresh concrete can be effectively used to predict the strength of concrete being cured and make an informed decision for stripping the molds. A hygrothermograph and thermo-couple sensors that require an extensive wiring have been applied to measure a temperature of concrete at the early stage of the curing process on site. However, these methods have limits to provide the temperature data in real time due to harsh working environment including frequent cutting of wires. Therefore, this study is aiming at developing a device based on wireless sensor network to measure the temperature of concrete being cured in formwork. The result showed that the wireless sensor with probe type thermistor which is developed had the same temperature data compared to the existed wire type thermistor, and we confirmed the temperature history of concrete in real time for 28 days throughout the gateway by wireless network that collects the temperature data measured from specimens in laboratory. Also, the network device for transmission can be easily separated from the probe sensor part and reused consistently. If the wireless sensor network device developed uses in the field, the temperature management of concrete will be systematically conducted from at the early stage of the curing, and especially be effective for cold weather concrete construction. In addition, it will contribute to the establishment of advanced quality control system for concrete and productivity of supervisors on site will be increased in the future.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of tribochemical silica coating on the shear bond strength (SBS) of rebonded ceramic brackets using nano-filled flowable composite resin. Methods: A total of 60 premolars were prepared and divided into 4 equal groups as follows: Tribochemical silica coating (TC) + Transbond XT (XT), TC + Transbond supreme LV (LV), Sandblast treatment (SA) + XT, SA + LV. Treated ceramic brackets were rebonded on the premolars using each adhesive. All samples were tested in shear mode on a universal testing machine. Results: SBS of silica coated groups were high enough for clinical usage (TCLV: 10.82 $\pm$ 1.82 MPa, TCXT: 11.50 $\pm$ 1.72 MPa). But, SBS of the sandblast treated groups had significantly lower values than the tribochemical silica coated groups (SALV, 1.23 $\pm$ 1.16 MPa; SAXT, 1.76 $\pm$ 1.39 MPa; p < 0.05). There was no difference between the shear bond strength by type of adhesive. In the silica coated groups, 77% of the samples showed bonding failure in the adhesive. In the sandblast treated group, all bonding failures occurred at the bracket-adhesive interface. Conclusions: The result of this study suggest that newly introduced nano-filled flowable composite resin and tribochemical silica coating application on debonded ceramic bracket bases can produce appropriate bond strengths for orthodontic bonding.
