Ceramics based on CaTiO₃-NdAlO₃ solid solutions were synthesized in order to study their dielectric microwave properties. Microstructural analysis was performed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using different analytical methods such as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). It was observed that the heating conditions during sintering and cooling strongly affect the microstructural development of CaTiO₃-NdAlO₃-based ceramics. Various types and concentrations of structural defects were identified, for example, dislocations, twins and/or antiphase boundaries. all such defects resulted in a degradation of the dielectric microwave properties, in particular the quality factor Q. Dielectric properties of CaTiO₃-NdAlO₃-based ceramics can be improved by an appropriate thermal treatment of ceramics which results in a decrease in the concentrations of the identified microstructural defects.

Alleviation of Al toxicity by Ca and Mg was studied with seedings of Pinus densiflora, P. rigida and P. thunbergii under the solution culture. The seedlings were cultivated in the enriched Can and Mg nutrient solution with 2, 000 ${\mu}M$ Al for three weeks. The hightest total root lengths of P. densiflora, P. rigida and P. thunbergii increased by 21, 33 and 133% in Ca enriched solution, and 23, 44 and 107% in Mg enriched solution, respectively. Ratios of lateral root to main root length increased significantly in Mg enriched solution, and redution of Al toxicity was more affected by enriched Mg than by enriched Ca. Al content in tissue was reduced by enriched Ca and Mg.

마이크로파용 세라믹 유전체로 사용되는 MgTiO$_3$-CaTiO$_3$계 유전체에 Li을 첨가하여 이때 얻어지는 마이크로파 유전특성과 소결특성에 대하여 알아보았다. 94MgTiO$_3$-6CaTiO$_3$으로 주조성을 고정시키고 여기에 Li$_2$CO$_3$를 Li원자 기준으로 0 ~ 10 mol% 범위 안에서 첨가하여 1200~140$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 4시간 소결하였다. Li의 첨가량이 적을 때에는 유전체의 품질계수와 유전상수가 모두 감소하였으나 약 lmol% 이상 되면 다시 증가하였으며, 이후 첨가량이 과도해지면 다시 서서히 감소하는 경향을 볼 수 있었다. 1.0 ~ 3.0 mol%의 첨가량 범위 안에서 Li은 MgTiO$_3$-CaTiO$_3$계 유전체의 품질계수를 증가시켜주는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다 1.5mol%의 Li을 첨가하고 1275$^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 소결한 시편에서 유전상수는($\varepsilon$$_{r}$) 20.0, Qf는 78,000 그리고 공진주파수 온도계수($\tau$$_{f}$)는 -1.6ppm/$^{\circ}C$의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.다.

Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin caused platelet cytolysis and increased intracellular calcium concentration $([Ca^{2+}]_i)$ of rat platelets in a concentration-dependent manner. In the presence of V. vulnificus cytolysin (3 HU/ml), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was increased from $1.3{\pm}0.4%$ of control to $64.3{\pm}3.4%$ in platelet suspension buffer. In $Ca^{2+}-free$ platelet suspension buffer, however, V. vulnificus cytolysin did not induce $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase and LDH release. Addition of EGTA (2 mM) to suspension buffer after the initial $Ca^{2+}$ influx reversed $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ to the control level. However, a $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker verapamil $(20\;{\mu}M)$ or mefenamic acid $(20\;{\mu}M)$ did not inhibit V. vulnificus cytolysin-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase and LDH release. Divalent cations such as $Co^{2+},\;Cd^{2+}\;or\;Mn^{2+}$ (2 mM each) also did not alter V. vulnificus cytolysin-induced $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increase and LDH release. V. vulnificus cytolysin (3 HU/ml)-induced calcium influx was completely blocked by lanthanum (2 mM). Lanthanum (2 mM) also completely blocked V. vulnificus cytolysin (3 HU/ml)-induced LDH release. Osmotic protectants such as, raffinose, sucrose or PEG600 (50 mM each) did not inhibit the lytic activity of V. vulnificus cytolysin. In conclusion, lanthanum sensitive $Ca^{2+}$ influx plays a significant role in Vibrio vulnificus cytolysin-induced platelet cytolysis and thrombocytopenia in V. vulnificus infection.

Since the reports of CMR(colossal magnetoresistance) effects in some single crystal R-P phase $La_{1+x}Sr_{2-x}Mn_2O_7$, considerable researches have been carried out to find optimum composition and to understand the role of dimensionality in the CMR mechanism of this system. In this study, layered perovskite $Ln_xCa_{1-x}MnO_{4}$ (x=0.5, Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) phases were synthesized by solid state reaction and their structures were refined by Rietveld method. Electrical and magnetic properties were measured between room temperature and liquid helium temperature and compared with those of two dimensional $La_{1.4}Sr_{1.6}Mn_2O_7$ phase.

The effect of $Al_2Ca$ on the oxidation resistance and tensile property of Al-5Mg alloys was investigated. According to the TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis) result at $550^{\circ}C$ after 24hrs, the Al-5Mg alloy showed parabolic behavior with weight gain. On the other hand, there was almost no difference in the weight changes of the $Al_2Ca$ added Al-5Mg alloys during the oxidation. It was thought that the improvement of oxidation resistance in $Al_2Ca$ added Al-5Mg alloys might be due to the formation of a protective oxide layer with CaO and MgO on the surface. The microstructures of the alloys showed grain refinement with an increasing $Al_2Ca$ content. From the tensile test, the yield strength of the alloys were improved with an increasing $Al_2Ca$ content. The 0.07 mass%$Al_2Ca$ added Al-5Mg alloy showed similar elongation and increased strength, simultaneously. It was considered that the addition of $Al_2Ca$, which was superior in the oxidation resistance of Al, reduced the formation of Mg oxides and inclusions during the alloying. This, partly led to the improvement of tensile properties.

Objective: To evaluate the association of a diagnosis of lung cancer and combined detection of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrateantigen 19-9 (CA19-9), neuron specific enolase (NSE) as well as the cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1). Methods: Serum CEA, CA19-9, NSE and CYFRA21-1 were assessed in 150 patients with lung cancer, 100 patients with benign lung disease and 100 normal control subjects, and differences of expression were compared in each group, and joint effects of these tumor markers in the diagnosis of lung cancer were analyzed. Results: Serum CEA, CA19-9, NSE and CYFRA21-1 in patients with lung cancer were significantly higher than those with benign lung disease and normal controls (p<0.01). It is suggested that these four tumor markers combined together could produce a positive detection rate of 90.2%, significantly higher than that of any single test. Conclusion: Combination detection of CEA, CA19-9, NSE and CYFRA21-1 could significantly improve the sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of lung cancer, and could be important in early detection.

현재 사용되고 있는 진동감쇠능 Mg-Zr 합금인 K1A는 우수한 진동감쇠능을 갖으나 열악한 기계적 특성과 Zr이 고가이면서 고융점 원소로 합금화가 어렵다는 문제점 때문에 진동테이블, 미사일 유도시스템 및 레코딩 장비 등에 소량만 적용되고 있다. Mg-Ni 합금의 경우Ni가 Mg 용탕 내에 고용되지 않아 우수한 진동감쇠능을 갖으나 Fe, Cu등과 함께 Mg의 부식을 가속시키는 원소로 사용이 제한적일 뿐 아니라 Zr과 마찬가지로 Ni도 고융점 원소로 합금화가 어렵다는 것도 문제점으로 작용하고 있다. Mg-Si 합금의 경우 Si이 극소량만 고용되어 우수한 진동감쇠능을 보이며 Ni과 달리 부식에 영향을 받지 않는 원소이지만 Zr, Ni와 마찬가지로 고가이면서 고융점 원소로 합금화가 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. Mg 용탕에 첨가하게 되면 용탕의 표면에 MgO, CaO 피막을 형성하여 발화현상을 억제할 뿐 아리라 첨가량의 증가에 따라 발화온도를 상승시키는 Ca의 경우 Mg 내에 고용되어 진동감쇠능을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라 유동성 저하 및 열간균열을 야기하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 CaO의 경우 Mg내에 고용되지 않고, 가격이 저렴하며 Mg 고유 특성의 변화가 적다. 또한 Ca와 같이 Mg 용탕의 발화를 억제하여 보호가스인 $SF_6$를 사용하지 않아도 된다. 이런 다양한 장점을 갖는 CaO를 첨가한 Mg합금이 진동감쇠능을 유지하면서 기계적 특성이 향상된다면 주행 시 안전성 및 정음성이 요구되는 수송기기 분야와 외부충격으로부터 데이터 보호가 필수적인 휴대용 전자정보통신기기 분야에서 적용이 증가할 전망이며 이에 따라 이 분야에 대한 지속적인 연구와 투자가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The Daehyun gold-silver deposit consists of two hydrothermal quartz veins that fill NE-trending fractures in the Cambro-Ordovician calcitic marble. I have sampled wallrock, hydrothermaly-altered rock and gold-silver ore vein to study the element dispersion and element gain/loss during wallrock alteration. The hydrothermal alteration doesn't remarkably recognized at this deposit and consists of mainly calcite, dolomite, quartz and minor epidote. The ore minerals composed of arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite, sphalerite, stannite, chalcopyrite, galena, electrum, native bismuth and silver-bearing mineral. Based on analyzed data, the chemical composition of wallrock consists of mainly $SiO_2$, CaO, $CO_2$ with amounts of $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3(T)$ and MgO. The contents of $SiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3(T)$, MgO, CaO and $CO_2$ vary significantly with distance from ore vein. The element dispersion doesn't remarkably recognized during wallrock alteration and only occurs near the ore vein margin because of physical and chemical properties of wallrock. Remarkable gain elements during wallrock alteration are $Fe_2O_3(T)$, total S, Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, W and Zn. Remarkable loss elements are $SiO_2$, MnO, MgO, CaO. $CO_2$ and Sr. Therefore, Our result may be used when geochemical exploration carry out at deposits hosted calcitic marble in the Hwanggangri metallogenic district.
