This study deals with coal-mine waste (CMW) for use in concrete as a replacement of normal aggregates. The CMW was collected from Sabuk region. Ganwon-do. Fine and coarse aggregates from CMW were prepared by using a crusher and separating debris with #4 sieve. CMW aggregates showed good physical and mechanical properties with having specific gravity over 2.65, absorption less than 1%, and abrasion ratio below 20%. However, particle shape of CMW was poor because of non-isotropic nature of matrix which cause particles to be long or flat. Since irregular particles caused a poor workability, to make workability better, a 1/4 of coarse aggregate was replaced with normal aggregate together with a superplasticizer. Compressive strength and other mechanical properties of CMW concrete were very good. Color of the concrete was darker than normal concrete due to black color of CMW. In conclusion, characteristics of CMW concrete was acceptable for use as a structural concrete material.

This paper presents coal mine waste (CMW) for use in concrete manufacture as a replacement of normal aggregates. The CMW in this study was collected from Sabook, Jungson-kun, Kangwon-do. Fine and coarse asggregates from CMW were prepared by crushing it in a jaw crusher and separating debris with #4 sieve. CMW aggregates showed good physical and mechanical properties with having specific gravity over 2.65, absorption less than 1%, and abration ratio below 20%, but particle shape of CMW was long or flat, which caused a poor workability in mixing. Therefore, to make workability better, a 1/4 of CMW coarse aggregate was replaced with normal aggregate which had a good particle shape, and a superplasticizer was added to the mix. Compressive strength and other mechanical properties of CMW concrete was very good. In conclusion, characteristics of CMW concrete was acceptable for use as a concrete structural material.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Recent living condition improvements, changes in dietary habits, and reductions in physical activity are contributing to an increase in metabolic syndrome symptoms including diabetes and obesity. Through such societal developments, humankind is continuously exposed to metabolic diseases such as diabetes, and the number of the victims is increasing. This study investigated Cordyceps militaris water extract (CMW)-induced glucose uptake in HepG2 cells and the effect of CMW treatment on glucose metabolism. MATERIALS/METHODS: Colorimetric assay kits were used to determine the glucokinase (GK) and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activities, glucose uptake, and glycogen content. Either RT-PCR or western blot analysis was performed for quantitation of glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 alpha ($HNF-1{\alpha}$), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3k), protein kinase B (Akt), phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (pAMPK), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, GK, PDH, and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta ($GSK-3{\beta}$) expression levels. The ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities of acarbose and CMW were evaluated by absorbance measurement. RESULTS: CMW induced glucose uptake in HepG2 cells by increasing GLUT2 through $HNF-1{\alpha}$ expression stimulation. Glucose in the cells increased the CMW-induced phosphorylation of AMPK. In turn, glycolysis was stimulated, and glyconeogenesis was inhibited. Furthermore, by studying the mechanism of action of PI3k, Akt, and $GSK-3{\beta}$, and measuring glycogen content, the study confirmed that the glucose was stored in the liver as glycogen. Finally, CMW resulted in a higher level of ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity than that from acarbose. CONCLUSION: CMW induced the uptake of glucose into HepG2 cells, as well, it induced metabolism of the absorbed glucose. It is concluded that CMW is a candidate or potential use in diabetes prevention and treatment.

To evaluate direct and maternal effects on calf market weight (CMW) and carcass weight (CW) in Japanese Black cattle under an animal model, genetic parameters were estimated using 51,320 records of CMW and 11,944 records of CW, respectively. Direct and maternal heritabilities, and direct-maternal genetic correlation were estimated to be 0.22, 0.06 and 0.27 for CMW, and 0.23, 0.12 and -0.40 for CW, respectively. Correlation coefficient between maternal breeding values for CMW and CW was 0.521 for 157 sires appeared in both CMW and CW data sets. These results suggest that the maternal genetic effect on pre-weaning growth carries over to carcass weight. Maternal breeding values for both calf market weight and carcass weight could be used as the indicator traits of maternal ability in Japanese Black cattle.

목적 : 아드리아마이신 함유 골시멘트의 국소 항암제 치료로서의 가능성을 알아보고자 실험을 실시하였다. 대상 및 방법 : Palcos R, LVC, CMW 3, Simplex P의 4종류 골시멘트에 아드리아마이신 2.5mg, 5mg, 25mg의 각각 다른 농도로 균일하게 섞은 후, 원주형 또는 납작한 형의 모양에 따른 아드리아마이신 용출 차이, ddH2O, 0.45% 식염수, 0.9% 식염수, 3% 식염수 등의 주위 환경에 따른 아드리아마이신 용출 차이를 연구하였다. 또한 용출된 아드리아마이신의 세포 독성을 알아보고자, 골육종 세포주 Saos-2를 골시멘트 단독, 각기 다른 3종류의 아드리아마이신 농도를 함유한 골시멘트와 같이 37 C, 5% $CO_2$ 조건하에서 가습 배양기내에서 배양을 실시하여, MTT assay 방법으로 세포 생존율을 확인하였다. 결과 : 납작한 모양이 원주형보다 아드리아마이신 용출이 많았고, 3%, 0.9%, 0.45%의 식염수 순으로 아드리아마이신 용출이 줄어 들었으며, CMW 3, Simplex P가 Palacos R, LVC보다 아드리아마이신 용출이 많았으며, 아드리아마이신 농도가 2.5mg, 5mg, 25mg 순으로 세포 독성은 각각 95%, 98%, 99%이었다. 결론 : 적절한 용량의 아드리아마이신을 골시멘트에 섞는다면, 용출된 아드리아마이신이 세포 독성을 가져 국소 항암제 치료 수단으로 이용 가능성을 확인하였다.
