This work describes a 3 V 12b 100 MS/s CMOS digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for high-speed communication system applications. The proposed DAC is composed of a unit current-cell matrix for 8 MSBs and a binary-weighted array for 4 LSBs, trading-off linearity, power consumption, chip area, and glitch energy with this process. The low-glitch switch driving circuits are employed to improve linearity and dynamic performance. Current sources of the DAC are laid out separately from the current-cell switch matrix core block to reduce transient noise coupling. The prototype DAC is implemented in a 0.35 um n-well single-poly quad-metal CMOS technology and the measured DNL and INL are within ${\pm}0.75$ LSB and ${\pm}1.73$ LSB at 12b, respectively. The spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is 64 dB at 100 MS/s with a 10 MHz input sinewave. The DAC dissipates 91 mW at 3 V and occupies the active die area of $2.2{\;}mm{\;}{\times}{\;}2.0{\;}mm$

This study was undertaken to elucidate the effect of diallyl disulfide (DADS), an oil-soluble organosulfur compound found in garlic, in suppressing human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. A potent increase (of at least 9-fold) in apoptotic cells has accompanied 1) a decrease in cell viability, 2) a increase of the fraction of S-phase cells by up to 63.8%, and 3) a transient increase of the phospho-p38 and phospho-p42/44 (phosphorylated p38 MAPK and phosphorylated p42/44 MAPK) in a time-and concentration-dependent manner. These results indicate that DADS can induce apoptosis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells via, at least partly, S-phase block of the cell cycle, related to a rise in MAPK phosphorylation.

The in-vitro fertilization in human clinic and animal reproduction is a very important technique but the rate of success is still low. When the in-vitro fertilization and culture of gametes or embryos were done under the condition which Hema hydrogel chamber were implanted into the peritoneal cavity of mouse, the in-vitro fertilization and development of embryos could be significantly improved and the cell-block under in-vitro culture could be overcome. Also, the Rema hydrogel chamber was very useful for the protection of isolated blastomeres. It is concluded that the polymerized Hema (pHema) hydrogel chamber may be effectively used in the fields of embryo transfer and in vitro fertilization.

Most drug discovery has focused in recent years on the development of molecules that either interact with or block receptors, proteins that act as on-off switches for genetic activity, on the surfaces of human cells. Now, we have developed a technology that targets “receptors inside the cell” (intracellular receptors), opening a new and compelling avenue for drug discovery. Our receptor-based small molecule drugs can be catagorized in two ways: 1) receptor agonists, or molecules that activate a receptor; and 2) receptor antagonists, or drugs that inactivate a receptor.

연료전지용 프로톤 전도성 고분자로서 분지체 함량이 조절된 부분불소계 Sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) 이오노머 블록공중합체막의 합성 및 특성에 관하여 연구하였다. 분지형태의 부분불소계 블록고분자 전해질막 제조를 위해 설폰화 활성이 높은 단량체, 설폰화 활성이 낮은 단량체 그리고 분지체를 합성하였고, 블록형성을 위해 biphenyl계 올리고머를 합성하였다. 분지체의 양에 따른 막 특성변화를 고찰하기 위해, biphenyl계 올리고머와 sulfonyl계 단량체의 몰 비를 4 : 6으로 고정하고 분지체의 함량을 2 mol%까지 늘려가면서 중부가형태의 열중합을 통하여, 다른 분지체의 함량을 가지는 공중합체를 얻었다(BBC-40Bx). 제조된 분지형태의 공중합체들을 chlorosulfonic acid (CSA)를 사용하여 후설폰화(post-sulfonation)하였다(SBBC-40Bx). 제조된 화합물, 단량체, 분지체 및 중합체들은 $^1H$-NMR, $^{19}F$-NMR 및 FT-IR분석을 통하여 성공적으로 합성되었음을 확인하였다. 분지형태의 블록공중합체(SBBC-40Bx)는 분지체의 함량이 증가함에 따라 이온교환능력(IEC), 함수율 및 이온전도도가 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

이 논문에서는 저면적 256-point FFT 구조를 제안한다. 저면적 구현을 위하여 CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) 곱셈기 방식을 채택하여 구현하였다. CSD 곱셈기 방식을 효율적으로 적용하기 위해서는 곱셈연산의 가지 수가 적어야 하는데, 여러 알고리즘을 조사한 결과 Radix-$4^2$ 알고리즘이 곱셈연산의 가지 수가 적음을 발견하였다. 따라서 제안 구조는 Radix-$4^2$ DIF 알고리즘과 CSD 곱셈기 방식을 사용하였다. 즉 Radix-$4^2$ 알고리즘을 사용하여 4개의 스테이지에서 사용되는 곱셈연산의 가지 수를 최소화한 후에 각각의 곱셈연산 블록은 CSD 곱셈기를 사용하여 구현하였다. CSD 곱셈기 구현에서 공통패턴을 공유하여 덧셈기의 수를 줄일 수 있는 CSS(Common Sub-expression Sharing) 기술을 사용하여 구현면적을 더욱 감소시켰다. 제안된 FFT 구조를 Verilog-HDL 코딩 후 합성하여 구현한 결과, Radix-4를 사용한 구조와 비교하여 복소 곱셈기 부분의 29.9%의 cell area 감소를 보였고 전체적인 256-point FFT 구조에 대한 비교에서는 12.54% cell area 감소를 보였다.

Elevated levels of soluble CD30 (sCD30) are linked with various T-cell neoplasms. However, the relationship between sCD30 levels and the development of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) carriers remains to be clarified. We here investigated whether plasma sCD30 is associated with risk of ATL in a nested case-control study within a cohort of HTLV-1 carriers. We compared sCD30 levels between 11 cases (i.e., HTLV-1 carriers who later progressed to ATL) and 22 age-, sex- and institution-matched control HTLV-1 carriers (i.e., those with no progression). The sCD30 concentration at baseline was significantly higher in cases than in controls (median 65.8, range 27.2-134.5 U/mL vs. median 22.2, range 8.4-63.1 U/mL, P=0.001). In the univariate logistic regression analysis, a higher sCD30 (${\geq}30.2U/mL$) was significantly associated with ATL development (odds ratio 7.88 and the 95% confidence intervals 1.35-45.8, P = 0.02). Among cases, sCD30 concentration tended to increase at the time of diagnosis of aggressive-type ATL, but the concentration was stable in those developing the smoldering-type. This suggests that sCD30 may serve as a predictive marker for the onset of aggressive-type ATL in HTLV-1 carriers.

Background: Oridonin isolated from Rabdosia rubescens, a plant used to treat cancer in Chinese folk medicine, is one of the most important antitumor active ingredients. Previous studies have shown that oridonin has antitumor activities in vivo and in vitro, but little is known about cell cycle effects of oridonin in gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: MTT assay was adopted to detect the proliferation inhibition of SGC-7901 cells, the cell cycle was assessed by flow cytometry and protein expression by Western blotting. Results: Oridonin could inhibit SGC-7901 cell proliferation, the $IC_{50}$ being $15.6{\mu}M$, and blocked SGC-7901 cell cycling in the $G_2/M$ phase. The agent also decreased the protein expression of cyclinB1 and CDK1. Conclusions: Oridonin may inhibit SGC-7901 growth and block the cells in the $G_2/M$ phase by decreasing Cdk1 and cyclinB1 proteins.

이 논문에서는 $Radix-4^2$알고리즘을 사용한 저면적 FFT 구조를 제안한다. 큰 point의 FFT는 여러 개의 직렬연결 스테이지로 구성되는데, $Radix-4^2$알고리즘을 사용하면 매 2 스테이지마다 곱셈 종류의 수가 3인 스테이지가 생긴다. 이 사실을 이용하여 곱셈 연산 종류의 수가 3인 스테이지의 구현 면적을 줄이는 구조를 제안하였다. 예를 들면 4096-point FFT는 6개의 스테이지로 구성되는데 $Radix-4^2$ 알고리즘을 사용하면 3개의 스테이지가 곱셈연산 종류의 수가 3이다. 이 3개의 스테이지의 곱셈 연산 하드웨어는 CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) 계수 방식과 CSS(Common Sub-expression Sharing) 기술을 사용하여 구현면적 감소시킬 수 있었다. 제안된 방식을 사용하여 256-point FFT 구조를 설계하여 Verilog-HDL 코딩하였다. 또한 tsmc $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 라이브러리를 사용하여 합성하여 구현한 결과 $1.971mm^2$의 cell area를 얻었다. 이와 같은 합성 결과는 기존 구조와 비교하여 약 23%의 cell area 감소 효과를 보였다.

Appropriation of partial substitution of concentrate mixture by urea-molasses-mineral block (UMMB) lick supplements for 20 lactating crossbred cows in 2nd and 3nd lactation was studied. Animals fed on wheat straw ad lib. and Berseem (Trifolium alaxandrium) fodder @ 1.5 kg/d on dry matter basis. Animals of control group were given concentrate supplement, while in treatment groups 10% of the concentrate requirement was substituted with 3 different types of UMMB lick type A ($T_1$), type B ($T_2$) and type C ($T_3$). CP content of the ration was 15%. Total dry matter intake (DMI) was about 1.0 kg/kg of fat corrected milk (FCM) yield and was not significantly different between control and treatment groups. Digestibility of neither proximate principles nor cell wall constituents were deviated on UMMB licks partial supplementation. FCM yield was increased by 140, 410 and 460 g/d, in $T_1$, $T_2$ and $T_3$, respectively, in comparison to control group but differences were statistically invalid. Though fat per cent was reduced, fat yields were remain constant among treatments. Milk composition was unaltered except significant difference (p < 0.01) in non-protein nitrogen (NPN) content. Gross-N and digestible-N conversion was significantly higher (p < 0.01) with $T_1$, $T_2$ and $T_3$ than control group. Energy utilization efficiency for milk production was only 36%. Result demonstrated that UMMB licks could be partial supplemented up to 10% of the concentrate requirement of crossbred cows yielding on an average 14kg/d without any adverse effect on feed intake, nutrient utilization and mild production. Comparatively, UMMB lick type B and C was proved better than type A and also economically viable.
