  • 본 논문에서는 토조에 실시된 모형말뚝 재하실험과 콘관입실험을 통하여, 말뚝형태별 지지력 특성분석과 CPT지지력 상관계수를 평가하였다. 고려된 말뚝의 형태는 일반적인 현장타설말뚝에 적용되는 원통형 말뚝과 테이퍼형 말뚝이 고려되었다. 본 연구는 궁극적으로 강관주 송전탑의 기초구조물 형식개발과 설계기준 수립을 목표로 하고 있으며, 이를 위해 기초형식별 거동과 지반상태의 영향 등을 중점적으로 살펴보았다. 말뚝 토조실험을 통해 나타난 결과에 의하면, 원통형 및 테이퍼형 말뚝의 전체지지력의 차이는 크지 않았으나, 개별 지지력요소의 거동은 말뚝형태별로 상이한 것으로 나타났다. 토조실험결과와 동일한 지반조건에 대해 수행된 CPT결과를 통해 말뚝지지력과 콘지지력의 관계를 나타내는 CPT지지력 상관계수의 변화추이를 도출하였다. CPT상관계수는 원통형 및 테이퍼형 말뚝형태를 비교함으로써 나타내었으며, 선단지지력과 주면마찰력의 요소별 변화추이를 제안하였다.

  • 경두개직류전류자극(tDCS)은 낮은 직류 전류 강도를 사용하여 대뇌피질의 자발적인 신경학적 활동의 흥분성을 증가 또는 감소시키는 신경조절 기법이다. 본 연구의 목적은 tDCS를 적용한 후 다양한 감각 기능의 변화를 측정하는데 있다. tDCS의 효과를 측정하기 위해 CPT 검사를 50명의 건강한 대상자에게 단일 기간(8월4일에서 8월29일), 단일 공간, 단일 맹검법으로 무작위 배정하였다. 신경전도검사는 우세 손의 말초신경 병변을 구별하기 위해 정중 감각과 운동신경을 측정하였다. 대상자들은 각 25명 씩 대뇌피질의 DLPFC의 tDCS 자극군과 대뇌피질의 DLPFC의 tDCS 위자극군으로 2개의 다른 조건 아래서 1 mA의 전류강도로 15분씩 양극 tDCS로 적용하였다. 촉각, 빠른 통증과 느린 통증을 각각 평가하기 위해 우세한 제 2수지에 2000, 250, 그리고 5 Hz의 주파수로 CPT 검사인 Neurometer$^{(R)}$를 이용하여 수치들을 기록하였다. DLPFC의 양극 tDCS 자극군의 CPT 수치들에서는 250과 5 Hz에서 통계적으로 유의한 증가를 보였다. 양극 tDCS 위자극군의 모든 CPT 수치들은 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 DLPFC의 양극 tDCS가 건강한 대상자들의 감각 지각과 통증 역치들을 조절할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 본 연구는 재활과 통증 치료 분야에서 유용한 치료 방법 중 하나로 제시할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

  • Roots of Ophiorrhiza prostrata D. Don serve as a rich source of camptothecin (CPT), an anticancer drug. Because of the large-scale collection of its roots, the plant has become a threatened species. The present study accomplishes the induction of adventitious roots as a means for the production of CPT as well as for the large-scale propagation of this anticancer drug plant using leaf and internode explants. The biomass yield and CPT content of adventitious roots induced from different explants were compared to roots developed on ex vitro rooted stem cuttings. Adventitious roots were produced on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with $10.74{\mu}M$ ${\alpha}-naphthaleneacetic$ acid and $2.32{\mu}M$ kinetin at mean fresh weights of 0.753, 0.739 and 0.748 g roots from leaf, internode and shoot, respectively. CPT yield from in vitro derived roots after 50, 80 and 120 days of incubation (0.028, 0.06 and 0.1% dry weight, respectively) was not significantly different from those harvested at the same age from ex vitro rooted (0.03, 0.06 and 0.13%, respectively) stem cuttings. CPT from subcultured roots derived from solid (0.08%) medium was lower than from suspension culture medium (0.12%). Subsequent cultures of the adventitious roots showed a stable production of CPT (0.16%). The yield of CPT from 360-day-old plant-derived roots was 0.19%. Elicitation using methyl jasmonate and acetyl salicylic acid exhibited no enhancement in CPT yield. In vitro propagation through direct shoot regeneration was achieved from the adventitious roots upon transfer to MS medium with $8.87{\mu}M$ $N^6-benzyladenine$ (BA) and $2.46{\mu}M$ indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) with a mean of 21.2 shoots per culture in 50 days. The shoots upon subculture on medium having the same level of BA and IBA underwent rapid proliferation. The shoots transferred to field conditions after in vitro rooting exhibited 95% survival. Adventitious root induction, from leaf and internode explants, enables the feasible production of CPT as well as the large-scale rapid propagation of this species which can safeguard it from extinction.

  • 본 연구에서는 전이성 암세포와 항암제 다제내성 세포에 있어서 항암제 내성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려진 DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) 가 Abl protein-tyrosine kinases저해제인 STl571 내성에도 연관되어 있는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 또한 STl571 과 topoisomerase I 저해제인 camptothecin (CPT) 의 단독 및 병용처리에 의한 항암 활성을 전이성 암세포와 항암제 다제내성 세포를 대상으로 조사하였다. 세포의 전이도와 내성정도에 따라 STl571 의 감수성이 다르게 나타났다. 이와 함께 ST1571의 처리후 농도에 따라 전이도가 낮은 KMl2, PC3 세포와 항암제 감수성인 CEM, MCF-7 세포에서는 DNA-PK 의 발현이 감소하는 반면, 전이도가 높은 KML4a, PC-MM2 세포와 다제내성 CEM/MDR 및 MCR/MDR 세포에서는 그 발현이 증가되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이는 DNA-PK 의 발현이 STl571 의 내성에 관여한다는 것을 시사한다. 이와 같은 결과에 근거하여 DNA-PK 의 발현을 감소시키는 CPT를 STl571 내성을 나타내는 암세포에 대하여 STl571 과 병용처리 하였다. 그 결과 DNA-PK의 발현이 감소되고 세포증식이 억제됨으로써 ST1571 의 감수성이 CPT에 의해 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 DNA-PK가 STl571 의 내성을 극복하는데 있어서 새로운 표적이 될 수 있으며, STl571 의 치료내성 극복에 CPT 와의 병용처리가 유효함을 알 수 있었다.

  • Objective: Fat deposition in poultry is an important factor in production performance and meat quality research. miRNAs also play important roles in regulating adipocyte differentiation process. This study was to investigate the expression patterns of miRNAs in duck adipocytes after differentiation and explore the role of miR-214 in regulating carnitine palmitoyltransferases 2 (CPT2) gene expression during duck adipocyte differentiation. Methods: Successful systems for the isolation, culture, and induction of duck primary fat cells was developed in the experiment. Using Illumina next-generation sequencing, the miRNAs libraries of duck adipocytes were established. miRanda was used to predict differentially expressed (DE) miRNAs and their target genes. The expression patterns of miR-214 and CPT2 during the differentiation were verified by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot. Luciferase reporter assays were used to explore the specific regions of CPT2 targeted by miR-214. We used a miR-214 over-expression strategy in vitro to further investigate its effect on differentiation process and CPT2 gene transcription. Results: There were 481 miRNAs identified in duck adipocytes, included 57 DE miRNA candidates. And the 1,046 targets genes of DE miRNAs were mainly involved in p53 signaling, FoxO signaling, and fatty acid metabolism pathways. miR-214 and CPT2 showed contrasting expression patterns before and after differentiation, and they were selected for further research. The expression of miR-214 was decreased during the first 3 days of duck adipocytes differentiation, and then increased, while the expression of CPT2 increased both in the transcriptional and protein level. The luciferase assay suggested that miR-214 targets the 3'untranslated region of CPT2. Overexpression of miR-214 not only promoted the formation of lipid droplets but also decreased the protein abundance of CPT2. Conclusion: Current study reports the expression profile of miRNAs in duck adipocytes differentiated for 4 days. And miR-214 has been proved to have the regulator potential for fat deposition in duck.

  • The contactless power transfer (CPT) systems have been recently gaining popularity widely since it is an available option to realize the power delivery and storage with connector-free devices across a large air gap. Especially, the CPT with electromagnetic resonance coupling method is possible to exchange energy within 2 m efficiently. However, the power transfer efficiency of CPT in commercialized products has been limited because the impedance matching of coupled coils is sensitive. As a reasonable approach, we combined the CPT system with HTS wire technology and called as, superconducting contactless power transfer (SUCPT) system. Since the superconducting coils have an enough current density, the superconducting antenna and receiver coils at CPT system have a merit to deliver and receive a mass amount of electric energy. In this paper, we present the feasibility of the SUCPT system and examine the transmission properties of SUCPT phenomenon between room temperature and very low temperature at 77 K as long as the receiver is within 1.0 m distance.

  • The surface structure and electrochemical behavior of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared from benzenethiol (BT), cyclohexanethiol (CHT), and cyclopentanethiol (CPT) on Au(111) surface were examined by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) to understand the influence of thiol molecular backbone structure on the formation and reductive desorption behavior of SAMs. STM imaging showed that BT and CPT SAMs on Au(111) surface formed at room temperature were mainly composed of disordered domains, whereas CHT SAMs were composed of well-ordered domains with three orientations. From these STM results, we suggest that molecule-substrate interaction is a key parameter for determining the structural order and disorder of simple aromatic and alicyclic thiol SAMs on Au(111). In addition, the reductive desorption peak potential for BT SAMs with aromatic rings was observed at a less negative potential of -566 mV compared to CHT SAMs (-779 mV) or CPT SAMs (-775 mV) with aliphatic cyclic rings. This reductive desorption behavior for BT SAMs is due to the presence of p-orbitals on the aromatic rings, which promote facile electron transfer from the Au electrode to BT as compared to CHT and CPT. We also confirmed that the reductive desorption behavior for simple alicyclic thiol SAMs such as CHT and CPT SAMs on Au electrodes was not significantly influenced by the degree of structural order.
