The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of third-line combined androgen blockade (CAB) therapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer that relapsed after primary and second-line CAB. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 52 patients who received first-, second-, and third-line CAB therapy (medical or surgical castration, plus steroidal antiandrogen of chlormadinone acetate, or nonsteroidal antiandrogen of flutamide or bicalutamide). For cumulative analysis, we searched the PubMed database and identified a total of 50 cases published in English. Including our cases, this provided a total of 102 cases for analysis. In our study cohort, 11 cases (21.2%) achieved more than 50% reduction of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) on initiation of third-line CAB. We found that third-line CAB with nonsteroidal antiandrogen after second-line CAB with steroidal antiandrogen exhibited favorable results, with a positive response in six of 13 patients (46.2%). Cumulative analysis findings were comparable. Regarding the timing of third-line CAB administration, 15 patients had started at a PSA equal to or less than 4.0 ng/ml, and eight of them (53.3%) showed a positive response to treatment, compared to only three of 37 patients (8.1%) whose PSA at the initiation of third-line therapy was higher than 4.0 ng/ml (p<0.001). We conclude that third-line CAB with nonsteroidal antiandrogen would be particularly useful for patients whose cancer progressed after second-line CAB with steroidal antiandrogen. The timing of treatment seems to be important because the higher the PSA at the start of third-line therapy, the lower the PSA response rate.

In order to evaluate environmental comfort of tractor cabs, temperature, relative humidity and noise within the cab were taken from 31 tractors during plowing and rotovating operations. The temperature and humidity were evaluated with regard to the comfort zone of KS B ISO 14269-2 and PMV of ISO 7730. The noise was evaluated with regard to the permissible sound level of OSHA for daily exposure of 8 hours. The collected data indicated that thermal environment of the cabs was out of the comfort zone, which meant tractor operators worked under uncomfortable thermal conditions. Difference in the thermal comfort by tractor power and maker, and type of works was not found. However, 25% of the studied tractors showed PMV in a range of -0.5 to +0.5, which indicated their operators worked under the comfort criteria. PMV was improved when the cab was air-conditioned. Levels of measured cab noise were lower than the permissible criteria, and 76.7% of the studied tractors had cab noise ranged from 75 to 85 dBA. There was a tendency that high powered tractors, rotovating operations and locally-made tractors had greater cab noise levels. However, their differences were insignificant.

Two novel calcium-binding proteins, named CAB-I and CAB-II, have been isolated from Streptomyces coelicolor. Purification of the calcium-binding proteins involved heat treatment, fractionation with ammonium sulfate, acid treatment, anion exchange and hydrophobic interaction column chromatography, FPLC gel filtration, and preparative isoelectric focusing. A chelex competitive assay and 45Ca autoradiography verified the calcium-binding ability of the proteins. The major band CAB-II has an apparent molecular weight of 26,000 determined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 340,000 determined by gel filtration. The isoelectric point of this molecule showed the acidic nature of the molecule. N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis shows homology to rat Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-II (CAB-II) and yeast phosphoprotein phosphatase (CAB-I).

CAB는 광학적 특성이 우수한 생분해성 수지이나 취약한 가공성으로 인해 필름 어플리케이션에 제한되어 있다. 본 실험에서는 비교적 가공성이 우수한 폴리락틱산을 이용하여 CAB의 가공성을 향상시키고, 충격보강제 도입으로 기계적 물성을 보완하고자 하였다. 이전 실험에서 PLA/CAB binary 블렌드의 PLA75CAB25조성이 상용성을 보이는 것을 확인하였으므로 PLA75CAB25 조성에 한하여 충격보강 연구를 수행하였다. 이축압출기를 이용하여 충격보강제를 도입하고, $140^{\circ}C$(hopper)-$200^{\circ}C$(die)의 온도 범위에서 200rpm의 속도로 제조하였다. 충격보강제 도입에 따른 상용성을 평가하기 위해 DSC와 FE-SEM을 통해 유리전이온도 거동과 모폴로지를 관찰하였다. 또한 충격보강효과를 확인하기 위해 DMA와 Izod 충격강도 시험기를 이용하여 저장탄성률과 충격강도를 측정하였다. 충격보강제가 10wt%가 도입되었을 때 상용성이 가장 좋았으며, Izod 충격강도가 PLA75CAB25 조성에 비해 4배 이상 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

A driveline incorporating universal joints when driving through an angle can excite various components in a vehicle with second order excitation of torsional and bending vibrations, being transmitted either audibly(noise), or physically(vibration). For a certain range of vehicle dpeed noises can be radiated from the cab wall, in which resonances occur by the excitations transmitted from the driveline as a vibration source. In this paper, the excitation mechanism of cab noises is studied especially for the vehicle speed range of 65 .approx. 75 km/h through the simulation for torsional vibrations of the driveline and for bending vibrations of the cab of an 11 Ton grade Cargo Truck, and verified additionally by vibration and noise measurements. As a result, it is found that the uncomfortable noises in the cab are caused mainly by the abrupt increase of the joint angle of driveline near the axle differential resulted from the excessive clearance alignment of the leaf spring gate.
