나노임프린트 공정기술은 나노구조물이 패턴된 스템프(혹은 몰드)를 이용하여 적절한 기판 위에 나노구조물을 복제하여 패턴을 전사하는 기술이다. 효과적인 나노임프린트 공정을 위해서는 몰드의 이형처리뿐 아니라 반대쪽의 기질과 레지스트 사이에 접착력 증가(adhesion promoter) 처리가 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 자기조립 실란커플링제의 기상증착을 이용하여 나노임프린트 공정에서 사용되는 접착 증가막 및 표면처리 방법을 비교 분석 하였다. 이를 위해서 평탄화층(DUV-30J), 산소 플라즈마 처리, 실란커플링제 자기조립막이 비교되었다. 실란커플링제 자기조립막이 형성된 실리콘 표면은 전체적으로 나노 두께의 균일한 막이 형성되며 임프린트시 구조물들을 정밀하게 전사하였으며 3-acryloxypropyl methyl dichlorosilane(APMDS)을 이용한 자기조립막(SAMs) 처리가 평탄화층과 산소 플라즈마 처리보다 강한 접착력을 가지고 있어 나노임프린트 공정에 적합함을 알 수 있었다.

A new plasma process, i.e., the combination of PIII&D and HIPIMS, was developed to implant non-gaseous ions into materials surface. HIPIMS is a special mode of operation of pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering, in which high pulsed DC power exceeding ~1 kW/$cm^2$ of its peak power density is applied to the magnetron sputtering target while the average power density remains manageable to the cooling capacity of the equipment by using a very small duty ratio of operation. Due to the high peak power density applied to the sputtering target, a large fraction of sputtered atoms is ionized. If the negative high voltage pulse applied to the sample stage in PIII&D system is synchronized with the pulsed plasma of sputtered target material by HIPIMS operation, the implantation of non-gaseous ions can be successfully accomplished. The new process has great advantage that thin film deposition and non-gaseous ion implantation along with in-situ film modification can be achieved in a single plasma chamber. Even broader application areas of PIII&D technology are believed to be envisaged by this newly developed process. In one application of non-gaseous plasma immersion ion implantation, Ge ions were implanted into SiO2 thin film at 60 keV to form Ge quantum dots embedded in SiO2 dielectric material. The crystalline Ge quantum dots were shown to be 5~10 nm in size and well dispersed in SiO2 matrix. In another application, Ag ions were implanted into SS-304 substrate to endow the anti-microbial property of the surface. Yet another bio-application was Mg ion implantation into Ti to improve its osteointegration property for bone implants. Catalyst is another promising application field of nongaseous plasma immersion ion implantation because ion implantation results in atomically dispersed catalytic agents with high surface to volume ratio. Pt ions were implanted into the surface of Al2O3 catalytic supporter and its H2 generation property was measured for DME reforming catalyst. In this talk, a newly developed, non-gaseous plasma immersion ion implantation technique and its applications would be shown and discussed.

본 연구에서는 누룩에서 ornithine 생성능을 보유하고 있는 Pediococcus 속 균주를 동정하고, ornithine 생성 유산균인 Pediococcus pentosaceus TNO-4를 이용하여 막걸리를 제조하였다. Ornithine의 전구물질인 arginine과 Pediococcus pentosaceus TNO-4를 첨가하여 제조한 ornithine 함유 막걸리의 ornithine 함량을 측정하고 세포 수준에서의 지방구 형성 억제 효과를 통한 항비만 효과를 평가하였다. Ornithine 막걸리의 ornithine 함량은 일반 막걸리에 비하여 3배 증가되었으며, 세포 실험 결과 0.05 mg/mL 농도의 ornithine 막걸리를 3T3-L1 세포에 처리하였을 때 독성이 없는 수준에서 유의적으로 지방구 형성을 억제하는 것을 관찰하였다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 후속 연구가 이루어진다면 기능성 물질이 강화된 우리나라 전통술인 막걸리를 통하여 지질축적 억제를 통한 항비만 효과를 기대해 볼 수 있을 것이라 사료된다. 더 나아가서 기능성이 부각된 막걸리의 개발을 통하여 막걸리 시장에 새로운 판로를 개척할 수 있고, 누룩에서 분리된 ornithine 생성능을 가진 유산균은 막걸리 이외에 여러 가지 발효식품에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Bio-MEMS를 기반으로 microfilter와 백금 전극이 내재되어 있는 microbiochip을 제작하였다. 우리는 이 chip으로 microbead에 indirect ELISA 방법으로 항원-항체를 반응시키고 전기 신호 검출 방법을 이용하여 반응 여부를 판단하였다. 이 때 신호 증폭을 위해 silver enhancer를 사용하였다. Chip 상에서 항원-항체 반응 조건을 최적화하기 위해 pH, temperature, flow time, flow rate, silver enhancer time을 결정하였다. 이렇게 최적화된 조건을 바탕으로 짧은 시간 안에 소량의 시료로 immunoassay를 성공적으로 수행할 수 있었다. 전기 신호 검출 방식을 사용함으로써 biosensor 장비의 소형화와 다중 시료 측정과 자동화를 biosensor에서 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

To enhance the physiological activity of the Rhynchosia volubilis (RV), R. volubilis (RVHE-A) and R. volubilis-added herbal powder (RVHE-B) were fermented with a solid state culture of Hericium erinaceum mycelia (HE). The total isoflavone contents of the non-fermented RV-A ($489.9{\mu}g/g$) and RV-B ($571.1{\mu}g/g$) were remarkably increased in fermented RVHE-A ($1,836.4{\mu}g/g$) and RVHE-B ($1,276.7{\mu}g/g$). In particular, aglycone isoflavones such as daidzein and genistein were significantly higher in the RVHE-A than any other sample. When hot-water (HW) and EtOH extracts (E) were fractionated from the RV and RVHE, both extracts from the RVHE-A were higher than those from the RV-A in total polyphenol and flavonoid contents. However, the RVHE-B-HW showed a lower polyphenol and flavonoid content level than did RV-B-HW. RVHE-A-HW and -E also had more potent ABTS radical scavenging activity than any extract from the non-fermented RV and other ferments (RVHE-B). In the meanwhile, RVHE-A-HW potently stimulated the production of macrophage activation-related cytokines such as $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6 and IL-12 ($841.7{\pm}71.3pg/mL$, $3.9{\pm}0.1ng/mL$, $179.3{\pm}30.2pg/mL$) from peritoneal macrophage more than RV-A-HW ($92.5{\pm}1.5pg/mL$, $0.1{\pm}0.0ng/mL$, $37.4{\pm}5.4pg/mL$) as well as RVHE-B-HW ($557.0{\pm}21.3pg/mL$, $1.8{\pm}0.0ng/mL$, $90.0{\pm}10.0pg/mL$). However, all the EtOH extracts did not show significant activity. In addition, the RVHE-A-HW showed a significantly higher intestinal immune system modulating activity through Peyer's patch and GM-CSF production than did any other extract from RV and RVHE-B. In conclusion, these results suggest that the fermented R. volubilis with H. erinaceum mycelia possesses a possible use as an industrial application as functional food or material.

A cross-sectional study was undertaken to report prevalence and to identify risk factors of subclinical mastitis of dairy cattle in Sylhet district of Bangladesh. Among 325 dairy farms of the district 12 farms(3.7%) were selected conveniently for this study. All the dairy cows of the 12 farms were selected for sample collection. Fresh milk samples from each of the selected dairy cows were collected aseptically in separate sterilized test tube as RF, RH, LF and LH quarter of the udder. Rapid modified White Side Test(WST) was used to detect subclinical mastitis(SCM). Results of WST and data derived from filled in questionnaire were entered in Microsoft Excel 2003 and transferred to $STATA^{(R)}$, version 8.0/Intercooled(Stata Corporation, Texas, USA, 2003). The overall prevalence of SCM and its distribution in different categories of variables in cow and their exact binomial 95% confidence intervals were calculated in $STATA^{(R)}$. Simple bivariable associations among independent variables were investigated by $x^2$ test in $STATA^{(R)}$. Multiple logistic regression analysis with backward elimination method was used to identify risk factors of SCM. To identify significant variation in quarter SCM, linear regression analysis was performed after arcsine transformation of the data. The overall prevalence of SCM found in this study is 54%. Dairy cows with teat lesions had significantly increased SCM(OR=12342, P value=0.000, 95% CI=762, 199798) than others without teat lesions. The Holstein Friesian X Jersey X Sahiwal breed has significantly decreased(OR=0.18, p=0.03, 95% CI 0.04, 0.85) SCM than other breeds. The prevalence of SCM found in this study is in agreement with others. The injury in the teat increases the probability of getting infected with microbes and thereby mastitis. If the prevalence of teat lesion can be decreased the probability of subclinical mastitis will also be decreased. The negatively associated Holstein Friesian X Jersey X Sahiwall breed may help in planning mastitis control program if this finding can be validated by a more powerful case-control or cohort study design.

게장제품의 미생물학적, 화학적 안전성을 평가하기 위하여 지표미생물, 병원성미생물, 기생충, pH, VBN, 염도, 3-MCPD, histamine, 그리고 타르색소를 분석하였다. 게장의 총균수는 3-7 log cfu/g 수준으로 전반적으로 간장 게장보다 양념 게장에서 더 높게 검출되었으며, 대장균군은 검출되지 않거나 최대 4 log cfu/g 수준까지 검출되었다. 병원성 미생물의 조사에서 V. parahaemolyticus는 4점의 게장에서 검출되었으며 이 중 1점은 E. coli와 기생충 Copepoda도 함께 검출된 것도 있었다. 전반적으로 게장의 pH는 $6.69{\sim}8.10$ 범위에서 측정되었으며 VBN value는 $21.99{\sim}94.55$ mg%까지 측정되었다. Fig. 4에 나타낸 게장의 염도는 간장 참게장 $11.6{\sim}32.6%$, 간장 꽃게장 $2.8{\sim}20.5%$, 간장 돌게장 $11.6{\sim}13.3%$, 양념 게장 $2.6{\sim}9.4%$로 양념 게장은 전반적으로 간장 게장보다 염도가 낮은 수준으로 나타났다. 아울러 타르색소, 3-MCPD, histamine은 무작위로 선별된 게장에서는 모두 검출되지 않아 국내 관리기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 유통 중의 게장 제품들은 안전한 것으로 평가되나 생물학적 검사 결과에서 원재료 관리, 위생적인 제품 생산 및 유통 관리가 적극적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Background: The black-chinned tilapia, Sarotherodon melanotheron, is the most abundant fish species in the Nakwa (an open lagoon) and Brenu (a closed lagoon) in the Central Region of Ghana. Aspects of the life history characteristics and the ecology of the fish populations in both lagoons were studied to assess the bio-ecological status of this important resource. Methods: Fish samples were obtained from fishermen that fish on the Nakwa and Brenu lagoons using cast, drag and gill nets. The age of the fish was assessed from otoliths analysis and its growth modelled following the von Bertalanffy growth function. Morphometric characteristics of the fish populations were analysed using power regression and ANOVA for parameters comparisons, and Student's t test to determine whether species grew isometrically. The percentage occurrence method was used to analyse the stomach contents of the fish. Results: A total of 382 fish samples from both lagoons were measured, comprising 209 from Nakwa lagoon and 176 from Brenu lagoon. The size and weight of fish samples ranged between 3.9-11.5 cm total length and 1.0-27.3 g for Nakwa Lagoon and 5.6-12.8 cm total length and 3.2-29.8 g for the Brenu Lagoon. The estimated von Bertalanffy growth parameters were L∞ = 12.04 cm and K = 2.76/year for the Nakwa Lagoon samples and L∞ = 13.44 cm and K = 3.27/year for Brenu Lagoon samples. Daily otolith incremental rate ranged from 0.01-0.03 mm per day to 0.01-0.02 mm per day for Nakwa and Brenu lagoons, respectively. Stomach content analysis of the fish samples revealed that the species are planktivorous and the range of food varied between the lagoons. Green algae were the most prevalent food item in the stomachs of the fish samples from Nakwa with the frequency of 69% whilst diatoms (80.5%) were most prevalent phytoplanktonic food item for the fish in Brenu lagoon. Conclusions: The estimates of asymptotic length for the species in both lagoons are close to known values of the species length at first sexual maturity and points to intensive fishing pressure. As a consequence, a comprehensive sample-based survey is required in both lagoons to derive estimates of management reference points. The results of the stomach content analysis are beneficial to the construction of diet matrix for ecosystem models of the two systems.

Background: Several recent studies have explored associations between pre-mir-218 polymorphism (rs11134527) and cancer risk. However, published data are still inconclusive. To obtain a more precise estimation of the relationship in the Chinese population, we carried out a meta-analysis for the first time. Materials and Methods: Through retrieval from the PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, a total of four studies were analyzed with 3,561 cases and 3,628 controls for SNP pre-mir-218 rs11134527. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) to explore the strength of associations. Results: The results showed that the rs11134527 polymorphism was associated with decreased cancer risk in GG versus AA and GG versus AA+AG models tested ( GG vs AA: OR=0.82, 95%CI: 0.71-0.94; GG vs AA+AG: OR=0.84, 95%CI: 0.74-0.96), and significantly decreased cervical cancer risk was observed in GG versus AA and GG versus AA+AG models (GG vs AA: OR=0.79, 95%CI: 0.66-0.94; GG vs AA+AG: OR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.68-0.94). However, no significant association between the rs11134527polymorphism and hepatocellular carcinoma risk was observed in all comparison models tested (AG vs AA: OR=0.94, 95%CI: 0.79-1.11; GG vs AA: OR=0.88, 95%CI: 0.70-1.10; GG+AG vs AA: OR=0.92, 95%CI: 0.79-1.08; GG vs AA+AG: OR=0.91, 95%CI: 0.75-1.11). Conclusion: The findings suggest that pre-miR-218 rs11134527 polymorphism may have some relation to cancer development in Chinese. However, well-designed studies with larger sample size and more detailed data are needed to confirm these conclusions.
