The study was carried out on the biochemical characters of Cd-BP(II) after isolation and purification of the protein from the liver of rat ip injection with Cd. A continued study has been doing whether Cd-BP(II) could be induced by Cd or by the other metals such as Zn and Cu. Antisera were made against the antigen of Cd-BP(II) from New Zealand white rabbits. We carried out g-globulin purification, then Ouchterlony test and gel immunodiffusion test. Cd-BP(II) was also found in normal tissues of rat. It was induced up to a considerable level by Cd, whose induced level was higher than that Cu or Zn treatment. The level of induction by Cu or Zn pretreatment plus Cd treatment was lower than that by single treatment of Cu or Zn. Such a result was presumably related to the Cd toxicity.

The study was carried out on the biochemical characters of Cd-BP(I) after isolation and purification of the protein from the liver of rat injected intraperitoneally with Cd. A c ontinued study has been doing whether Cd-BP(I) could be induced by Cd or by other metals such as Zn and Cu. Antisera were made against the Cd-BP(I) from NewZealand white rabbits. Carried out were ${\gamma}$-globulin purification, then Ouchterlony test adn gel immunodiffusion test. Cd-BP(I) was also found in normal tissues of rat. It was induced up to a considerable level by Cd, whose induced level was higher than that of Cu or Zn treatment. The level of induction by Cu or Zn pretreatment plus Cd treatment was lower than that by simple treatment of Cu or Zn. Such a result was presumably related to the Cd toxicity.

CD4+ T-cell count determines the effectiveness for antiretroviral therapy (ART) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although ART slows the progression of HIV to AIDS, rapid counting of CD4+ T lymphocytes with a drop of patient's blood sample is urgently needed to ensure timely ART treatment in rural areas. Recently point-of-care CD4 testing devices have been developed by using non-flow based imaging cytometer incorporated with a sample cartridge where CD4+ T cells are reacted with fluorescently tagged specific antibodies. Here we conducted an experimental study using a conventional fluorescence microscope-based imaging system to quantitate the interaction of CD4 antibodies with CD4+ T cells at different reaction conditions. We demonstrated that a fast and affordable point-of-care CD4 test is feasible with a far less amount of antibodies and a shorter incubation time compared with a conventional sample preparation protocol for flow cytometry. We also proposed a general method to evaluate and compare the detection limit across different CD4 counting platforms by using fluorescently labelled microbeads for intensity calibration.

A fracture of hand held device, such as radio, TV and CD-RW drive, mainly occurs due to drop situation. For CD-RW drive, the need of high reading/writing speed in conjunction with low price accelerates the fracture of the device. Computer simulation can reduce the period of development and enhance impact characteristic of device. In this study, the detailed finite element model of CD-RW drive was developed to predict the damage under drop conditions. Material property for shock absorbing damper was obtained from tensile test of raw material. A MOONEY-RIVLIN type rubber in LS-DYNA was used as the material model of damper. To assess the reliability of the developed model, drop test at 200G-2msec and 150G-10msec condition was conducted and acceleration at pick-up was compared.

Objectives: Chronic diseases (CDs) continue to increase due to advances in medicine and increase in lifespan, affecting quality of life and resulting in economic loss through treatment costs. This study addressed the perception characteristics of the effectiveness of Korean medicine (KM) based on the existence of a CD to determine the national preference for KM treatment. Methods: Using data from the 2017 National Survey of KM Usage, we evaluated the perception on treatment effect of 16 diseases by dividing them into the CD group and the non-CD group. Response reliability was verified by applying the chi-square test (χ2-test) analysis method of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical program. Results: The analysis of the perception on effectiveness of KM for patients with CD (n = 1,050, 21.0%) and for patients with non-CD (n = 3,950, 79.0%) showed an overall similar trend for all the 16 diseases. The response rates of having some treatment effect were high for nine diseases namely, disc-related disease (CD: 70.7%, non-CD: 73.1%), osteoarthritis (CD: 72.3%, non-CD: 72.4%), frozen shoulder and shoulder pain (CD: 79.6%, non-CD: 81.4%), back pain (CD: 84.6%, non-CD: 85.0%), sprain (CD: 84.8%, non-CD: 84.1%), facial nerve paralysis (CD: 73.5%, non-CD: 71.7%), stroke (CD: 66.2%, non-CD: 62.8%), digestive disease (CD: 53.3%, non-CD: 50.0%), and common cold and rhinitis (CD: 44.7%, non-CD: 44.8%). Conclusion: The present results found that there was little difference in the perception on effectiveness of KM for each of the 16 diseases in patients with CD and non-CD, however, 70% or more of the respondents recognized some treatment effect on musculoskeletal disorders, regardless of the existence of CD. Preferential political support for KM treatment of chronic musculoskeletal disorders is recommended.

Battery of rolling stock is a very important device as power supply at starting and emergency control. This paper analyzes the quality of Ni-Cd battery by means of performance test. Ni-Cd battery have suitable and stable properties. That is very stable to discharge on low temperature state and very easy to manage and repair. This paper confirm the performance and property of Ni-Cd battery on low temperature environment by the performance test and estimate the life-cycle of Ni-Cd battery on board at rolling-stock by the life-test and the using-test.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the casual relationship among Housing Transaction Index, Jeonse Rental Index and Interest Rate. To analyze the influence of interest rate in more detail, CD Interest rate and Spread are used as variables. Granger Casualty Test is used as a analysis tool, As a result, Spread is the cause variable of the Housing Transaction Index and the Housing Transaction Index is the cause variable of the CD Interest Rate. And also, CD Interest rate influences the Jeonse Rental Index and the Jeonse Rental Index has influence on the other variables.

Effect of Cd addition on the stress corrosion cracking(SCC) resistance of Al-Cu-Mn cast alloy was investigated by C-ring test and electrical conductivity measurement. With increasing Cd contents, the electrical conductivity and the SCC resistance were increased. The PFZ and coarse precipitates along the grain boundary were observed from TEM micrographs. The fracture made of the alloys was confirmed as intergranular type and showed brittle fracture surface. As a result, it was concluded that the SCC mechanism of these alloys is the anodic dissolution model. The maximum hardness was increased from 127Hv in the Cd-free alloy to 138∼145Hv in the Cd addition alloys.

In this study, we determined the effect of different concentrations of Cd on the growth of Pleurotus ostreatus mycelia, which was confirmed using PDA, PDB, and a column test. The efficacy of treatment was evaluated using Cd at two concentrations, 10 ppm and 100 ppm. The extent of mycelial growth on PDA and PDB was similar to that observed in the untreated groups and those treated with 10 ppm Cd. However, it was found that the mycelial growth was suppressed in a system treated with Cd at concentrations of 100 ppm. Moreover, the extent of mycelial growth observed upon conducting a column test was similar to that obtained using PDA and PDB. When the composition of free amino acids in PDB was determined, their levels in the group treated with 100 ppm Cd were found to be similar to those of the control. However, the amounts of 15 amino acids in the group treated with 10 ppm of Cd had increased compared to those detected in the control.
