The glutathione S transferase (GST) family is a major part of cellular defense mechanisms against endogenous and exogenous substances, many of which have carcinogenic potential. Alteration in the expression level or structure of the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) enzymes may lead to inadequate detoxification of potential carcinogens and consequently contribute to cancer development. A member of the glutathione-S-transferase (GST) family, GSTP1, is an attractive candidate for involvement in susceptibility to carcinogen-associated colorectal cancer. An $Ag{\rightarrow}G$ transition in exon 5 resulting in an Ile105Val amino acid substitution has been identified which alters catalytic efficiency. The present study investigated the possible impact of Ile105Val GSTP1 polymorphism on susceptibility to colorectal cancer. in Jordan We examined 90 tissue samples previously diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma, and 56 non-cancerous colon tissues. DNA was extracted from paraffin embedded tissues and the status of the GSTP1 polymorphism was determined using a polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method. No statistically significant differences were found between colorectal cancer cases and controls for the GSTP1 Ile/Ile, Ile/Val and Val/Val genotypes. The glutathione S-transferase polymorphism was not associated with risk in colorectal cancer cases in Jordan stratified by age, sex, site, grade or tumor stage. In conclusion, the GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism is unlikely to affect the risk of colorectal cancer.

The activities per volume of $^{188}Re$ and $^{99m}Tc$ from their generators are dependent on the specific activity of their mother nuclides $^{188}W$ and $^{99}Mo$ respectively. After a particular lapse of time, the eluted RI activity is exponentially reduced and thus cannot satisfy the needs of clinical application. The purpose of this study is to develop a $^{188}Re$ and $^{99m}Tc$ concentration device with a compact size that can extend the period of use as well as conveniently concentrate the RI. We designed the concentration module by including two-different check valves that do not required any manual on-off operations. In these concentration process, cation exchange resin embedded with Ag and anion exchange resins were used. After completing the concentrating step, the recovering yield was identified to be more than 93% for $^{188}Re$ generators and 88% for $^{99m}Tc$ generators. Moreover, all these procedures were done within 5 min.

최근의 레진 접착시스템은 단계를 줄이고 적용과정을 간편화시키는데 주력하고 있으며, 치면에 bonding 및 conditioning 과정 없이 바로 적용 가능한, one-step의 새로운 자가 접착 레진시멘트 (self-adhesive resin luting cement)들이 소개되어 임상에 사용되고 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 자가 접착 레진시멘트와 기존의 레진시멘트의 상아질에 대한 전단 결합 강도를 비교해보고, 자가 접착 레진시멘트 적용시 치면의 식각 처리 여부가 전단 결합 강도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 알아보고자 하는 것이다. 본 연구를 위해 최근 6개월 내 발치된 비교적 건전한 성인의 대구치 45개를 아크릴릭 레진으로 매몰한 다음, 800 grit SiC연마지로 연마를 시행하여 상아질을 노출시켰다. 15개의 치아를 한 군으로 하여, 세 가지 실험군으로 분류하였다. Group 1) 치면에 아무런 전처리 없이 RelyX Unicem 접착. Group 2) 치면에 인산 산부식 처리 후, RelyX Unicem 접착, Group 3) 치면에 Syntac primet + Syntac adhesive + Heliobond 처리 후 Variolink II 접착. 전처리가 완료된 치아 시편 위에 플라스틱 튜브 (직경 3 mm, 높이 3 mm)를 고정한 다음, 제조사의 지시에 따라 각 레진 시멘트를 혼합하여 링 안을 채우고, 광중합을 시행하였다. 접착이 완료된 시편은 $37^{\circ}C$ 항온수조 (증류수)에서 24시간 동안 보관 후, 만능 시험기를 이용하여 1mm/min의 cross head speed로 결합강도를 측정하였으며, 확대경 하에서 파절 양상을 분류 관찰하고, 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 측정결과는 SPSS WIN 12.0 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. RelyX Unicem의 상아질에 대한 전단결합강도는 Variolink II와 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 2. 상아질에 대한 인산 산부식 처리는 RelyX Unicem과의 전단결합강도를 낮게 하였다. 3. RelyX Unicem과 Variolink II에서는 혼합 파절의 비율이 컸으며, 전단결합강도가 낮았던 인산 산부식 처리 후 RelyX Unicem을 접착한 경우에서는 전체 시편에서 접착성 파절이 관찰되었다. 결론으로 말하면, 자가 접착 레진시멘트와 기존의 레진시멘트의 상아질에 대한 전단결합강도는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않으며, 인산 산부식 처리는 상아질에 대한 자가 접착 레진시멘트의 전단결합강도를 감소시킨다.

Piezoelectric thick films of a soft $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ (PZT) based commercial material were produced by a conventional tape casting method. Thereafter, the interdigitated (IDT) Ag-Pd electrode pattern was printed on the $25{\mu}m$ thick piezoelectric film at room temperature. Co-firing of the 10-layer laminated piezoelectric thick films was conducted at $1,100^{\circ}C$ and $1,150^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, respectively. Piezoelectric cantilever energy harvesters were successfully fabricated using the IDT electrode pattern embedded piezoelectric laminates for 3-3 operation mode. Their energy harvesting characteristics were investigated with an excitation of 120 Hz and 1 g under various resistive loads (ranging from $10k{\Omega}$ to $200k{\Omega}$). A parabolic increase of voltage and a linear decrease of current were shown with an increase of resistive load for all the energy harvesters. In particular, a high output power of 3.64 mW at $100k{\Omega}$ was obtained from the energy harvester (sintered at $1,150^{\circ}C$).

The present study was conducted to assess utility of $p16^{INK4a}$ immunopositivity as a surrogate marker for genomic integration of high-risk human papillomavirus infection (hrHPV). A total of 29 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cervical low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSILs), 27 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) and 53 invasive squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), histologically-diagnosed between 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2008 at the University of Malaya Medical Centre were stained for $p^{16INK4a}$ (CINtec Histology Kit (REF 9511, mtm laboratories AG, Heidelberg, Germany). Immunopositvity was defined as diffuse staining of the squamous cell cytoplasm and or nucleus (involving > 75% of the intraepithelial lesions or SCCs). Staining of basal and parabasal layers of intraepithelial lesions was pre-requisite. One (3.4%) LSIL, 24 (88.9%) HSIL and 46 (86.8%) SCC were $p^{16INK4a}$ immunopositive. All normal squamous epithelium did not express $p16^{INK4a}$. $p16^{INK4a}$ expression was significantly lower (p<0.05) in LSIL compared with HSIL and SCC with no difference in expression between HSIL and SCC. The increased $p16^{INK4a}$ immunopositivity in HSIL and SCC appears in line with the integrated existence of the hrHPV and may provide more insightful information on risk of malignant transformation of cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions than mere hrHPV detection.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the dispersion pattern of gold during skarnization and genesis of gold mineralization in the Sangdong skarn deposits. The Sangdong scheelite orebodies are embedded in the Cambrian Pungchon Limestone and limestone interbedded in the Myobong Slate of the Cambrian age. The tungsten deposits are classified as the Hangingwall Orebody, the Main Orebody and the Footwall Orebody as their stratigraphic locations. Recently, the Sangdong granite of the Cretaceous age (85 Ma) were found by underground exploratory drillings below the orebodies. In geochemisty, the W, Mo, Bi and F concentrations in the granite are significantly higher than those in the Cretaceous granitoids in southern Korea. Highest gold contents are associated with quartz-hornblende skarn in the Main Orebody and pyroxene-hornblende skarn in the Hangingwall Orebody. Also Au contents are closely related to Bi contents. This could be inferred that Au skarns formed from solutions under reduced environment at a temperature of $270^{\circ}C$. According to the multiple regression analysis, the variation of Au contents in the Main Orebody can be explained (87.5%) by Ag, As, Bi, Sb, Pb, Cu. Judging from the mineralogical, chemical and isotope studies, the genetic model of the deposits can be suggested as follows. The primitive Sangdong magma was enriched in W, Mo, Au, Bi and volatiles (metal-carriers such as $H_2O$, $CO_2$ and F). During the upward movement of hydrothermal ore solution, the temperature was decreased, and W deposits were formed at limestone (in the Myobong Slate and Pungchon Limestone). In addition, meteoric water influx gave rise to the retrogressive alterations and maximum solubility of gold, and consequently higher grade of Au mineralization was deposited.

Objectives: We performed an immunohistochemical study to examine the place of neovascularization in the tumorigenic process of follicular thyroid carcinoma and to determine whether tumor angiogenic activity in follicular carcinoma plays a role in tumor aggression. Materials & Methods: We studied 63 follicular thyroid carcinomas and compared with 22 follicular adenomas. The areas of capsular invasion, vascular invasion and cellular atypism of the tumor were confimed on H & E stains. The paraffin embedded tissues were stained by the use of monoclonal antibodies against Ag CD34. Microvesseles were counted in the area of highest vascular density at 200 times magnification. The microvessel densities(MVD) were analized in relation to histologic type and location of the tumors. Results: There were 59 minimal invasive types and 4 widely invasive types of carcinoma. In the histologic specimens of carcinomas, capsular invasion was identified in all the cases, vascular invasion in 46 and cellular atypism in 24. Mean values of the MVDs of the minimal invasive carcinomas, the widely invasive carcinomas and the adenomas were $263.8{\pm}69.2,\;256.l{\pm}49.3\;and\;241.5{\pm}159.4$, respectively and there was no significant difference between each group. In follicular carcinomas, there was a regional difference of the MVDs. The areas of tumor showing cellular atypism and adjacent to or penetrating the capsule, in which represents the tumorigenic process of carcinoma, had a higher rate of vascularization, than other areas of the tumor(p<0.05). However, these features were not noted in the follicular adenomas. Conclusion: Although there was no significant difference of the MVD between follicular carcinomas and adenomas, there was a regional difference of the MVD within the carcinomas and the values were significantly higher in the more malignant areas, as indicated by cellular atypism and capsular invasion. Therefore, tumor angiogenic activity measured by MVD may play a role in tumor aggression in follicular thyroid carcinoma.

Solar cells, converting abundant solar energy into electrical energy, are considered crucial for sustainable energy generation. Recent advancements focus on nanoparticle-enhanced solar cells to overcome limitations and improve efficiency. These cells offer two potential efficiency enhancements. Firstly, plasmonic effects through nanoparticles can improve optical performance by enhancing absorption. Secondly, nanoparticles can improve charge transport and reduce recombination losses, enhancing electrical performance. However, factors like nanoparticle size, placement, and solar cell structure influence the overall performance. This study evaluates the performance of silver nanoparticles incorporated in a p-i-n structure of perovskite solar cells, generated via aerosol state by the evaporation and condensation system. The silver nanoparticles deposited between the hole transport layer and transparent electrode form nanoparticle embedded transport layer (NETL). The evaluation of the optoelectronic properties of perovskite devices using NETL demonstrates their potential for improving efficiency. The findings highlight the possibility of nanoparticle incorporation in perovskite solar cells, providing insights for sustainable energy generation.
