Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the zygomaticotemporal suture (ZTS) maturation, analyze the age distribution patterns of ZTS maturation stages, and investigate the relationship between ZTS and cervical vertebral maturation (CVM). Methods: A total of 261 patients who underwent cone-beam computed tomography (112 males, mean age, 13.1 ± 3.3 years; 149 females, mean age, 13.7 ± 3.1 years) were examined to evaluate the ZTS stages. The ZTS stages were defined based on a modified method from previous studies on zygomaticomaxillary sutures. Differences between groups and correlations between indicators were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test, intraclass coefficient of correlation (ICC), one-way analysis of variance and rank sum test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. The diagnostic value of CVM stages in identifying ZTS maturation stages was evaluated using positive likelihood ratios (LRs). Results: A positive relationship was found between the ZTS and CVM stage (r = 0.747, ICC = 0.621, p < 0.01) and between the ZTS stage and chronological age (r = 0.727, ICC = 0.330, p < 0.01). Positive LRs > 10 were found for several cervical stages (CSs), including CS1 and CS2 for the diagnosis of stage B, CS1 to CS3 for the diagnosis of stages B and C, and CS6 for the diagnosis of stages D and E. Conclusions: The ZTS maturation stage may be more relevant to the CVM stage than to the chronological age. The CVM stages can be good indicators for clinical decisions regarding maxillary protraction, except for CS4 and CS5.

This study aimed to evaluate effects of 800 W microwave irradiation for 2, 4 and 6 min on chemical composition, antinutritional factors, ruminal dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradability, and in vitro CP digestibility of canola seed (CS). Nylon bags of untreated or irradiated CS were suspended in the rumen of three bulls from 0 to 48 h. Protein subfractions of untreated and microwave irradiated CS before and after incubation in the rumen were monitored by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Microwave irradiation had no effect on chemical composition of CS (p>0.05). There was a linear decrease (p<0.001) in the phytic acid and glucosinolate contents of CS as irradiation time increased. Microwave irradiation for 2, 4 and 6 min decreased the phytic acid content of CS by 8.2, 27.6 and 48.6%, respectively. The total glucosinolate contents of CS microwave irradiated for 2, 4 and 6 min decreased by 41.5, 54.7 and 59.0% respectively, compared to untreated samples. The washout fractions of DM and CP and degradation rate of the b fraction of CP decreased linearly (p<0.001) as irradiation time increased. Microwave irradiation for 2, 4 and 6 min decreased effective degradability (ED) of CP at a ruminal outflow rate of 0.05 $h^{-1}$ by 4.7, 12.3 and 21.0%, respectively. Microwave irradiation increased linearly (p<0.001) in vitro CP digestibility of ruminally undegraded CS collected after 16 h incubation. Electrophoresis results showed that napin subunits of untreated CS disappeared completely within the zero incubation period, whereas cruciferin subunits were degraded in the middle of the incubation period (16 h incubation period). In 4 and 6 min microwave irradiated CS, napin subunits were degraded after 4 and 16 h incubation periods, respectively, and cruciferin subunits were not degraded untile 24 h of incubation. In conclusion, it seems that microwave irradiation not only protected CP of CS from ruminal degradation, but also increased in vitro digestibility of CP. Moreover, microwave irradiation was effective in reducing glucosinolate and phytic acid contents of CS.

목적: 시판되고 있는 소프트콘택트렌즈용 다목적용액이 사람의 각막상피세포에 미치는 세포독성을 이미지 분석법을 이용하여 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 각막상피세포를 6종류의 다목적용액(A~F)이 0.05~50% 포함된 배양액에서 각각 2시간, 12시간, 24시간, 48시간 동안 배양하였다. 배양 후 각막상피세포를 고정한 다음 Draq 5로 염색하고 공초점현미경과 ImageXpress $Ultra^{TM}$를 이용하여 세포형태를 관찰하고 세포생존율과 세포자살(apoptosis)을 비교하였다. 결과: 각막상피세포 생존율과 세포자살은 다목적용액을 2시간 처리한 경우에는 모든 제품에서 대조군과 차이가 없었으나, 12시간 이상 처리한 경우에는 B~F 제품에서 대조군의 52~75% 수준으로 감소하였고, 세포자살은 모든 제품에서 차이가 없었다. 24~48시간 처리한 경우에는 생존율이 29~73% 수준으로 감소하였고(p<0.05), 세포자살은 199~526% 증가하였다. 제품별로는 다목적용액 D, E, F가 A보다 각막상피세포 생존율을 감소시켰고 세포자살을 증가시켰다(p<0.05). 결론: 저농도의 다목적용액은 각막상피세포 독성에 영향을 미치지 않지만 고농도의 다목적용액은 각막상피세포의 자살을 유도하고 세포생존율을 저하시킬 수 있으므로 다목적용액의 성분은 소독기능이 우수하고 독성이 없는 성분으로 개발되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Piezoelectric single crystals in the ternary MPB PMN-PZ-PT system with high $T_cs$ ($T_c$ > $200\sim300^{\circ}C$) and $E_cs$($E_c$>5~10 kV/cm) were fabricated by the cost-effective solid-state crystal growth (SSCG) technique. Chemically uniform PMN-PZT single crystals were successfully grown up to 60 mm by the SSCG method and their dielectric and piezoelectric properties characterized. Compared to Bridgman PMN-PT single crystals, the high $T_c/E_c$ PMN-PZT single crystals were found to exhibit a much wider usage range with respect to electric field as well as temperature, and thus become best candidates for medical transducers, actuators, and naval applications.

본 연구는 칼슘 배합 비율에 따른 초석잠이 scopolamine 치매유도 흰쥐의 기억손상 개선효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 칼슘 배합 비율별(S, 1CS, 5CS군)로 군을 나누어 Y자 미로와 수중미로를 통한 행동실험을 실시한 결과, Y자 미로 실험에서 5CS군이 N군과 비교하였을 때 유사한 수치를 보이며 공간 인지기능을 개선시켰고, 수중미로 실험 또한 CS군의 escape latency가 감소하여 N군과 유사한 수치를 보여 기억력 및 학습능력 개선에 효과적이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 아세틸콜린 함량과 아세틸콜린에스테라제의 활성을 측정한 결과, CS군은 아세틸콜린에스테라제의 활성을 저해함으로써 뇌 조직 내 신경전달물질인 아세틸콜린의 함량을 증가시켜 뇌 신경세포 활성화 효과를 통해 인지기능 개선 효과를 유도할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 해마를 병리조직학적으로 관찰한 결과, 앞선 결과와 유사하게 손상 정도가 심하여 많은 수의 응축된 신경세포가 관찰된 C군에 비하여 CS군은 응축된 신경세포 수가 현저하게 감소하여 신경세포 손상을 억제한 것으로 보인다. 따라서 칼슘 배합 비율에 따른 초석잠은 scopolamine 치매유도 흰쥐모델에서 기억력, 학습능력 및 인지능력 개선에 효과적으로 작용하는 천연물 유래 기능성 소재로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

An aircraft engine is considered as the most important element among aircraft systems. Thus type certificate is required for an aircraft engine to ensure its safety under appropriate airworthiness standard. U.S. FAR Part 33 or European CS-E is widely adopted as an airworthiness standard for aircraft engines, and other representative countries of the world established own airworthiness standards under their regulations. In this paper, we compared differences of the requirements between FAR Part 33 and CS-E, and proposed the rulemaking items to harmonize Korean Airworthiness Standard for Aircraft Engines with worldwide standards and to contribute to growth of aviation industry.

This paper presents a brush stroke direction creation method to distill painterly expressions from picture images. In actual paintings, each brush stroke has the same directionality in one segmented area. but directionality changes in the area of image border edges. This study employed the following methods to implement the directionality of the brush stroke area by: (1) detecting edge in input images, (2) region splitting and merging based on quad-tree division method, and (3) composing a direction map to create brush strokes with the same directionality in the segmented area. The results of the implementation enabled the simulation of the directionality of the stroke area shown in actual paintings.

In this study, we focus on addressing the functional domain of research related to indexing XML data in wireless networks, emphasizing ensuring data confidentiality. The abstract outlines a novel indexing method designed for broadcasting encrypted XML data over wireless networks. The proposed technique involves two channels: one for indexing and another for transmitting the actual XML data. The method ensures data security by encrypting the XML stream, allowing mobile devices to access only authorized bits based on their access permissions. Despite an increase in data access time and device tuning time, the study concludes that the proposed indexing technique significantly enhances the security of transmitting XML data over mobile wireless networks.

Although the currently available surface spectroscopic techniques provide powerful means of studying atoms and simple molecules on surfaces, the identification of complex molecules and functional groups is a major concern in surface analysis. This article describes a recently developed method of surface molecular analysis based on reactive ion scattering (RIS) of low energy (< 100 eV) $Cs^+$ beams. The RIS method can detect surface molecules via a mechanism in which a $Cs^+$ projectile picks up an adsorbate from the surface during the scattering process. The basic principles of the method are reviewed and its applications are discussed by showing several examples from studies of molecules and their reactions on surfaces.
