Background: Associations between the NQO1 C609T polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk are a subject of debate. We therefore performed the present meta-analysis to evaluate links with HCC susceptibility. Materials and Methods: Several major databases (PubMed, EBSCO), the Chinese national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI) and the Wanfang database were searched for eligible studies. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to measure the strength of associations. Results: A total of 4 studies including 1,325 patients and 1,367 controls were identified. There was a significant association between NQO1 C609T polymorphism and HCC for all genetic models (allelic model: OR=1.45, 95%CI=1.23-1.72, p<0.01; additive model: OR=1.96, 95%CI=1.57-2.43, p<0.01; dominant model: OR=1.62, 95%CI=1.38-1.91, p<0.01; and recessive model: OR=1.53, 95%CI=1.26-1.84, p<0.01). On subgroup analysis, similarly results were identified in Asians. For Asians, the combined ORs and 95% CIs were (allelic model: OR=1.50, 95%CI=1.24-1.82, p<0.01; additive model: OR=2.11, 95%CI=1.48-3.01, p<0.01; dominant model: OR=1.69, 95%CI=1.42-2.02, p<0.01; and recessive model: OR=1.59, 95%CI=1.16-2.19, p<0.01). Conclusions: The current meta-analysis suggested that the NQO1 C609T polymorphism could be a risk factor for developing HCC, particularly in the Chinese population.

토양의 산/염기 완충능은 토양-오염물질-공극수로 이루어진 시스템의 pH에 직접적인 영향을 미치므로 오염물질의 토양내 거동예측시에 많은 영향을 미치는 매우 중요한 토양의 성질이다. 본 연구는 이중확산층이론과 two layer electrostatic 흡착모델을 응용하여 토양의 산/염기 완충능의 이론모델을 유도하고 이 모델의 적용절차를 제시하였다. 산-염기 적정실험을 통하여 두 종류의 카올리나이트의 완충능을 실측하고 이를 본 연구에서 개발된 모델의 예측치와 비교하였다.

This paper presents a newly enhanced damage model in Monte Carlo (MC) simulation for the accurate prediction of 3-Dimensional (3D) as-implanted impurity and point defect profiles induced by ion implantation in (100) crystal silicon. An empirical electronic energy loss model for B, BF2, As, P and Si self implant over the wide energy range has been proposed for the ULSI device technology and development. Our model shows very good agreement with the SIMS data over the wide energy range. In the damage accumulation, we considered the self-annealing effects by introducing our proposed non-linear recomvination probability function of each point defect for the computational efficiency. For the damage profiles, we compared the published RBS/channeling data with our results of phosphorus implants. Our damage model shows very reasonable agreement with the experiments for phosphorus implants.

수용액 내 캐올리나이트와 할로이사이트의 표면화학 특성을 전위차 적정 실험과 FITEQL3.2 프로그램을 이용하여 연구하였다. 표면복합반응 모델 중 일정용량 모델을 적용하였으며, 표면을 사면체 자리와 팔면체 자리로 나누어 설정한 2 sites - 3 $pK_{a/s}$ 모델은 캐올리나이트와 할로이사이트의 표면화학 특성을 설명하는데 적합하였다. 두 점토광물 표면은 pH 4 이상에서 음전하를 띄며 pH가 높아질수록 양성자 표면 전하 밀도는 낮아진다. 산성 및 중성 영역에선 Si 사리(≡$SiO^{-}$ )가, 염기성 영역에선 Al 자리(≡$AlO^{-}$)가 양이온을 흡착하는데 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 예상된다. 모델링 결과 캐올리나이트의 경우 $pK_{a2(si)}$ /$^{int}$, p $K_{al(Al) }$ /$^{int}$ /, $pK_{a2}$ $(Al)^{int}$ /는 각각 4.436. 4.564, 및 8.461이며, 할로이사이트의 경우는 각각 7.852, 3.885, 7.084이다. 캐올리나이트의 총 Si 표면자리 농도와 총 Al 표면자리 농도는 0.215와 0.148 mM이며, 할로이사이트의 경우는 0.357과 0.246 mM이다 두 광물 모두 Si 표면자리 밀도 : Al 표면자리 밀도가 1 : 0.69로 비슷하다. 캐올리나이트의 총 표면자리 밀도는 3.774 sites/$nm^2$로 할로이사이트의 2.292 sites/n $m^2$ 값보다 약 1.6배정도 높다.다.

To evaluate the toxicity of ophthalmic drug, the Draize test and Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) test commonly used. In Draize test, experimental animals were under stress and pain due to long-term exposure of drug. In addition, regarding physiological functions, animal model is not perfectly reflected a human eye condition. Although some models such as $EpiOcular^{TM}$, HCE model, LabCyte Cornea-Model, and MCTT $HCE^{TM}$ were already presented advanced cornea ex-vivo model to replace animal test. In this sense, cornea tissue structure mimicked ex-vivo toxicity model was fabricated in this study. The corneal epithelial cells (CECs) and keratocytes (CKs) isolated from rabbit eyeball were seeded on non-patterned silk film (n-pSF) and patterned silk film (pSF) at $32,500cells/cm^2$ and $6,500cells/cm^2$. Sequentially, n-pSF and pSF were stacked to mimic a multi-layered stroma structure. The thickness of films was about $15.63{\mu}m$ and the distance of patterns was about $3{\mu}m$. H&E stain was performed to confirm the cell proliferation on silk film. F-actin of CKs was also stained with Phalloidin to observe the cytoskeletal alignment along with patterns of the pSF. In the results, CECs and CKs were shown the good cell attachment on the n-pSF and pSFs. Proliferated cells expressed the specific phenotype of cornea epithelium and stroma. In conclusion, we successfully established the ex-vivo cornea toxicity model to replace the eye irritation tests. In further study, we will set up the human ex-vivo cornea toxicity model and then will evaluate the drug screening efficacy.

A new axisymmetric crack model is proposed on the basis of p-version of the finite element method limited to theory of small scale yielding. To this end, axisymmetric stress element is formulated by integrals of Legendre polynomial which has hierarchical nature and orthogonality relationship. The virtual crack extension method has been adopted to calculate the stress intensity factors for 3-D axisymmetric cracked bodies where the potential energy change as a function of position along the crack front is calculated. The sensitivity with respect to the aspect ratio and Poisson locking has been tested to ascertain the robustness of p-version axisymmetric element. Also, the limit value that is an exact solution obtained by FEM when degree of freedom is infinite can be estimated using the extrapolation equation based on error prediction in energy norm. Numerical examples of thick-walled cylinder, axisymmetric crack in a round bar and internal part-thorough cracked pipes are tested with high precision.

식품과 유사하도록 수분, 전분, 단백질을 조합하여 모형식품을 만들고 가열온도와 가열시간을 변하시켜 가며 만든 gel의 texture를 universal testing machine으로 측정, 비교 분석하였다. 모형식품의 hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess 및 chewiness는 모두 고형분 함량과 높은 상관관계를 보였으며 $80^{\circ}C$, 20분 가열한 모형식품의 수분함량과 hardness에 대한 희 귀 식 은 $H(P_0S_4)=18.6405-3.8201M+0.1959M^2,\;H(P_1S_1)=244.7933-5.692M+0.0332M^2,\;H(P_4S_0)=693.0292-16.6884M+0.1005M^2$이였으며 이때의 상관계수는 각각 $0.996^{**},\;0.998^{**}$및 $0.998^{**}$이였다. 조직특성치와 가열온도 및 시간관의 상관관계는 모형 식품에 따라 달랐으며 단백질 식품에서는 유의성이 인정되지 않았고 특성치간의 상관관계는 비례적이나 전분질 식품의 hardness와 cohesiveness는 반비례적이였다. 저고형분 함량에서는 일정수준의 함량이 넘어서면서부터 증가하기 시작하여 순단백질 젤이 전분 제보다 높은 값을 나타냈다. $80^{\circ}C$, 20분간 가열한 모형식품의 harness와 단백질 함량과의 희귀식은 Hardness(고형분 20%)=5.6856-13.5670P+$9.7758P^2$이며 이때의 상관계수는 $0.95^{**}$였다.

A mathematical model was developed for predicting the growth rate of Enterobacter sakazakii in tryptic soy broth medium as a function of the combined effects of temperature (5, 10, 20, 30, and $40^{\circ}C$), pH (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10), and the NaCl concentration (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10%). With all experimental variables, the primary models showed a good fit ($R^2=0.8965$ to 0.9994) to a modified Gompertz equation to obtain growth rates. The secondary model was 'In specific growth $rate=-0.38116+(0.01281^*Temp)+(0.07993^*pH)+(0.00618^*NaCl)+(-0.00018^*Temp^2)+(-0.00551^*pH^2)+(-0.00093^*NaCl^2)+(0.00013^*Temp*pH)+(-0.00038^*Temp*NaCl)+(-0.00023^*pH^*NaCl)$'. This model is thought to be appropriate for predicting growth rates on the basis of a correlation coefficient (r) 0.9579, a coefficient of determination ($R^2$) 0.91, a mean square error 0.026, a bias factor 1.03, and an accuracy factor 1.13. Our secondary model provided reliable predictions of growth rates for E. sakazakii in broth with the combined effects of temperature, NaCl concentration, and pH.
