반도성 고분자인 폴리아닐린과 폴리파라페닐렌을 이용한 전기유변유체의 유변학적 및 전기적 특성을 고찰하였다. 이들 반도성 고분자 현탁액은 분산입자와 현탁매질의 전기전도도 차이로 인하여 직류 전기장 하에서 큰 점도 증가를 보였다. 전기유변효과로 기인한 동적 항복응력은 낮은 전기장 하에서는 전기장 제곱에의 의존성을 보였으나 높은 전기장 하에서는 전기장의 1승에 비례하는 거동을 나타내었다. 항복 응력은 분산입자의 전기전도도가 증가함에 따라 최대값을 보이다가 다시 감소하는 현상을 나타내었다. 직류 전기장 하에서의 이러한 항복 응력 거동은 전도도 효과에 의한 맥스웰-와그너 계면편극화로 설명되는 현탁액의 유전 특성과 관련됨을 발견하였다. 계면 편극화 효과가 전기유변현상에 미치는 영향에 대한 더 깊은 이해와 분산액의 침강 안정성 개선을 위하여, 전기유변 효과의 조절이 가능할 뿐 아니라 현탁액의 콜로이드 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있는 여러 가지의 계면 활성제의 영향을 피력하였다.

초장대교 콘크리트 고주탑 시공시에 사용되고 있는 슬립폼 시스템의 상승속도를 결정하는 요소인 초기경화시간은 콘크리트가 거푸집에서 안전하게 빠져나올 수 있는 굳기를 갖게 되는 콘크리트 타설 후 경화시간으로서, 배합 시 단위시멘트량 및 타설시 여러 현장 환경에 크게 영향을 받으므로, 콘크리트 타설 전에 초기경화시간을 정확히 파악하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 따라서 슬립폼 시스템의 안전성 확보 및 콘크리트면의 유지관리 문제가 발생하지 않도록 초기경화시간 결정을 위한 콘크리트 경화정도를 파악하는 기술이 필요하다. 더구나 슬립폼 공법은 연속적인 시공이 이루어지므로 거푸집 탈형 전 콘크리트의 경화정도를 연속적으로 파악할 수 있어야 한다. 초음파를 이용한 기법은 콘크리트면에 초음파를 투과시켜 투과된 신호를 측정 및 분석하는 방법으로 정량적이며 연속적으로 콘크리트의 경화정도를 파악할 수 있다. 특히 표면파 속도를 이용하는 기법은 표면을 따라 전파하는 표면파의 특성을 이용한 것으로서 표면파 속도의 변화를 통해 콘크리트 경화정도를 알 수 있으며, 주탑과 같이 두께가 두꺼운 콘크리트 구조물에 적용이 적합하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 표면파 속도를 이용하여 콘크리트의 경화정도를 추정함으로서 슬립폼 시스템의 상승속도를 결정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저 슬립폼 시스템 상승속도와 초기경화시간과의 관계식을 유도하였으며, 표면파 진행문제의 수치해석 결과를 연속웨이블릿변환 하여 표면파 속도를 추정하였다. 이때 탄성파 발생위치와 두 개의 수신점 거리에 따른 추정된 표면파 속도의 정밀도를 조사하였으며, 추정된 표면파 속도와 탄성계수와의 관계를 조사하였다.

10종의 식용 버섯 자실체에 대한 항보체 활성 검색에서 가장 높은 활성을 나타낸 양송이버섯 자실체를 대상으로 항보체 활성물질의 추출조건을 조사하였다. 최적조건으로서 5% urea가 함유된 0.1 N NaOH 용액으로 $65^{\circ}C$에서 2시간동안 양송이버섯 자실체를 추출한 후 methanol 가용획분이 제거된 조다당 획분 AB-0를 얻었다. AB-0는 1 mg/ml에서 90% 이상의 높은 항보체활성을 나타내었으며 마우스에 이식된 sarcoma-180에 대하여 74%의 저지효과를 보였다. AB-0를 acetone 농도에 따른 침전 분획을 실시하여 AB-20, AB-40, AB-60, AB-80, AB-A의 5개의 획분을 얻었다. 이중 가장 높은 항보체활성과 수율을 나타낸 AB-20 획분은 탄수화물 39%, 단백질 46%를 함유하였으며, 구성당은 glucose, arabinose, xylose, galactose, mannose가 6.49 : 1.98 : 1.24 : 1.00 : 0.71의 비율로 존재하였고 구성아미노산은 isoleucine(12.60%), glutamic acid+glutamine(12.45%), valine(11.79%), alanine(11.46%), leucine(10.19%)와 aspartic acid, asparagine(10.56%) 등 이었다. Pronase 처리한 AB-20에서는 78.5%의 항보체활성을 나타내고 대조군에 비해 14.5% 감소하였으나, AB-20의 periodate 산화물에서는 활성이 42.6%로 50% 이상 크게 감소하였다. 따라서 양송이 버섯의 알칼리 추출물중 가장 강한 활성을 보인 AB-20의 주요 활성부위는 다당류이며 단백질도 일부 관여하는 것으로 생각되었다.

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and dietary intake, and the relationship between BMI and plasma lipid levels in Korean adults. This study was conducted from January 1 to December 31 of 1997. It consisted of 3781 subjects (men 2402, women : 1379) with the majority between the ages of 40 and 59. The dietary assessment was based upon a twenty-four-hour food record. Subjects were classified into one of four reference BMI groups : underweight ($\leq 20 kg/m^2$), normal (20.1-25.0 kg/$m^2$), overweight (25.1-30.0 kg/$m^2$), and obese (>30 kg/$m^2$). The biochemical assessment included measurements of plasma total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG), lipoprotein (a), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). The BMI study showed that 60.5% of the men measured were normal and 32.6% of the men were overweight and/or obese subjects. Sixty-four percent of the women were normal and 20.3% of the women measured were overweight and/o. obese subjects. With respect to the daily energy intake of the men and women subjects, the levels of daily energy intake appeared to increase as values of BMI increased. Men of the overweight group had significantly higher protein, fat and cholesterol intake than those of the normal or the underweight groups. The alcohol intake of the men in the overweight group was also significantly higher than that of the men in the underweight group. With respect to percent energy intake of macronutrients, there was no significant difference between the four BMI groups and percent energy intake for all the subjects in the study. The ratio of percent energy intake of carbohydrates : protein : fat : alcohol of the normal women group was 62 : 17 : 20 : 1, respectively. Women apparently had a higher intake of carbohydrates than men (52 : 17 : 19 : 10). With respect to the levels of plasma TC, LDL-C, TG, and HDL-C, the levels of plasma TC, LDL-C and TC appeared to increase as the values of BMI increased, while the level of HDL-C appeared to decrease as values of BMI increased. Levels of lipoprotein (a) appeared to be inversely related to the values of BMI, and levels of PAI-1 appeared to increase as values of BMI increased. The results of this study demonstrate that there is a relationship between dietary intake and BMI, and that there is a relationship between BMI and blood lipids levels.

Background: DNA repair pathways play a crucial role in maintaining the human genome. Previous studies associated DNA repair gene polymorphisms (XPD Lys751Gln, XRCC1 Arg280His and XRCC1 Arg399Gln) with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. These non-synonymous polymorphisms may alter DNA repair capacity and thus increase or decrease susceptibility. The present study aimed to determine the genotype distribution of XPD codon 751, XRCC1 codon 280 and codon 399 polymorphisms and haplotype associations among NPC cases and controls in the Malaysian population. Materials and Methods: We selected 157 NPC cases and 136 controls from two hospitals in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for this study. The polymorphisms studied were genotyped by PCR-RFLP assay and allele and genotype frequenci es, haplotype and linkage disequilibrium were determined using SNPstat software. Results: For the XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism, the frequency of the Lys allele was higher in cases than in controls (94.5% versus 85.0%). For the XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism, the frequency of Arg allele was 90.0% and 89.0% in cases and controls, respectively and for XRCC1 Arg399Gln the frequency of the Arg allele was 72.0% and 72.8% in cases and controls respectively. All three polymorphisms were in linkage disequilibrium. The odds ratio from haplotype analysis for these three polymorphisms and their association with NPC was 1.93 (95%CI: 0.90-4.16) for haplotype CGC vs AGC allele combinations. The global haplotypte association with NPC gave a p-value of 0.054. Conclusions: Our study provides an estimate of allele and genotype frequencies of XRCC1Arg280His, XRCC1 Arg399Gln and XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms in the Malaysian population and showed no association with nasopharyngeal cancer.

Background: We aimed to analyze the factors predicting the diagnostic performance of flexible bronchoscopy without guidance in peripheral lung lesions that are endoscopically invisible. Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in St. Paul's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea, between January 2007 and March 2013. We included all patients who received bronchoscopy during this period. The analyzed variables were age, sex, the etiology of the lesion, lesion size, distance from the pleura, and presence of the bronchus sign. We used multiple logistic regression analysis to identify the significant independent factors associated with diagnostic yield. Results: We included 151 patients in this study. The overall diagnostic yield was 58.3%. The sensitivity was 43.2% for malignant disease and 78.1% for benign disease. The benign lung lesions (p<0.001), lesion size (p=0.015), presence of the exposed type of bronchus sign (p<0.001), and presence of cavitary lung lesions (p=0.005) were factors influencing the yield of flexible bronchoscopy by univariate analysis. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, the exposed type of bronchus sign and benign lung lesions were independent predicting factors (odds ratio [OR]: 27.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 7.56-103.32; p<0.001 and OR, 4.91; 95% CI, 1.76-13.72; p=0.002). Conclusion: The presence of the exposed type of bronchus sign and benign lung lesions are determining factors of the diagnostic yield in flexible bronchoscopy in evaluating peripheral lesions that are not endoscopically visible.

The author studied on the 128 cases of benign odontogenic tumors which had been diagnosed with biopsy during the period of Jan. 1989 to Dec. 1998 at the Kyungpook National University Hospital, Yeungnam University Medical Center, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center, and Taegu Catholic Medical Center. This study contained the clinicostatistical analysis of the frequency in relation to sex, age, locations, chief complaints, duration, radiographic findings, recurrence, teeth, and treatment methods. The results were as follow : 1. Of a total of 128 benign odontogenic tumors, ameloblastomas(57 cases; 44.5%) and odontomas (44 cases ; 34.4%) mostly occupied. The other types of lesions were 8 calcifying odontogenic cysts, 7 benign cementoblastomas, 4 myxomas, 3 adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, 2 calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumors, 2 ameloblastic fibro-odontomas, and 1 odontogenic fibroma. 2. In age and sex distribution, benign odontogenic tumors occured slightly more often in males(53.9%) than females(46.1%) and the majority of cases(79.7%) were found during 2nd, 3rd, and 4th decade. 3. There was a predilection for mandibular lesions(mandible-maxilla ratio, 2.6 : 1). 4. The most common chief complaint was swelling(29.7%) and in respect to duration, the cases less than 1 year(50.0%) mainly appeared. 5. There were 7 cases(13.0%) of recurrence on ameloblastoma and there was no recurrence in the others. 6. In Ameloblastoma It commonly occured during 3rd and 4th decade(59.6%) and mean age was 30.2 years. The majority of cases were occurred in mandible(96.5%) , especially mandibular molar and angle area(71.9%). The most common chief complaint was swelling(47.4%) and in respect to duration, the cases less than 1 year(52.6%) mainly appeared. In relation to teeth, there were resorption of root(52.6%), displacement of teeth(31.6%), and in relation to impacted teeth(43.9%). There was higher recurrence rate in the cases by conservative treatment(14.7%) than radical treatment(10.0%). As regards radiographic findings, conservative treatments were prevalent in the cases of unilocular type(85.7%) as compared with multilocular type(48.5%). and there was higherrecurrence rate in the cases of multilocular type(18.2%) than unilocular type(4.8%). As regards the type of treatment in relation to age, conservative treatments were prevalent in patients younger than 20 years of age. 7. In Odontomas It commonly occured during 2nd decade(50.0%) and in maxillary anterior teeth(40.9%).

We investigated 248 patients who were diagnosed as malignant tumor in the department of Oral and maxillofacial Surgery of Kyungpook National University from 1999 to 2006, and following results were obtained. 1. Among 248 patients who have malignant tumor, 164 were men and 84 were women, which made the ratio of male to female 1.95:1. 2. The average age of oral cancer patients was 58.3. 3. As of the primary origin site, lower alveolus and gingiva were the greatest with 70 cases(28.2%), followed by tongue(l6.9%), upper alveolus and gingiva(14.9%), palate(13.7%), mouth floor(9.7%), buccal mucosa(4.8%), retromolar trigone(4.4%), Mx. & Mn. bone(3.2%) and lip(2.8%). 4. As of histologic distribution, squamous cell carcinoma was the greatest with 170 cases(68.6%), followed by sarcoma with 17 cases(6.9%), adenoid cystic carcinoma with 17 cases(6.9%), malignant lymphoma with 15 cases(6.0%), mucoepidermoid carcinoma with 13 cases(5.2%), metastatic carcinoma with 6 cases(2.4%) and malignant melanoma with 4 cases(1.6%). 5. Period between recognition of the symptom and the first visit to hospital was less than 3 months for 58.9% of the patients, and more than 3 months for 41% of the patients. 6. Investigation of whether the patients drink or smoke revealed that the number of non-smoking and non-drinking patients was 63 among 170 patients(37.0%) that were able to investigate. The number of patients who smoke only was 29(17.1%) and both drinking and smoking patients were 78(45.9%). 7. In clinical stage order, Stage IV(61.7%) was found th be the largest, followed by stage I(17.2%), stage II(13%) and stage III(7.8%). 8. The 5-year survival rate of the entire oral cancer patients appeared to be 57.7%. The survival rate was higher in younger group and women had higher survival rate but there was no statistical significance to this. In the aspect of stage, the survival rate was Stage I, Stage II, Stage IV and Stage III in decreasing order. The order according to T classification was the same. In N classification, patients with N0 had the highest survival rate and the survival rate decreased in the order of N1 and N2. Survival rate was especially low in patients with N2.
