Objective : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of several light curing methods and several adhesives on the microleakage of composite resin restorations in primary teeth. Materials and methods : In 150 extracted human primary anterior teeth, O-shaped cavities were prepared in the labial surface ; the cavity diameter and depth were 1.6mm. The cavities were filled with light-activated composite resin, Compoglass. Four kinds of adhesives were used. Each filling materials were polymerized with three light cure methods. The restorations were polished using Sof-Lex discs(3M Co., USA). The samples were thermocycled 1,000 times between $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ with a 1-minute dwell time. Then, they were immersed in a 2% methylene blue solution(pH 7) for 12hours. Subsequently they were sectioned labio-lingually through the center of the restoration with a diamond saw at low speed with a water coolant, and evaluated by stereomicroscopy. Microleakage analyses were done, using scores from 0 to 4. Results : Results showed the least microleakage in Compoglass group(P<0.05). There were less microleakage in SBMP group among the adhesive groups, but no significant difference was observed(P>0.05). And there were no significant differences among the groups depending on curing methods(P>0.05).

Effect of the polymer-binder ratio and slag content on the properties of combined wet/dry-cured polymer-modified mortars using granulated blast-furnace slag are examined. Results shows that the flexural and compressive strengths of polymer-modified mortar using the slag tend to increase with increasing slag content, and reaches a maximum at a slag content of 40 ％, and is inclined to increase with increasing polymer-binder ratio. Water absorption, carbonation depth and chloride ion penetration depth tend to decrease with increasing polymer-binder ratio and slag content. Accordingly, the incorporation of slag into polymer-modified mortars at a slag content of 40％ is recommended for a combined wet/dry curing regardless of the types of polymer.

The effect of the silicon acrylate as a reactive additive on the UV-curing photopolymerization reaction was studied by micro raman technique. For the study, acrylate systems and Darocur 1173 were used as oligomer and monomers, and a photo initiator, respectively. The content of silicon acrylate was within the range of 0-3 wt%. The extent of photo-polymerization reaction as a function of depth from the air interface was obtained from the conversion ratio of acrylate double bond calculated from the intensities of measured bands at $1410cm^{-1}$ and at $1635cm^{-1}$. Micro raman spectroscopic technique can be an useful tool for the investigation of the factors, which can affect the reaction progress, such as oxygen inhibition, composition of the formulations, depth, etc.

In this study, the correlation between Half Cell Potential(HCP) and the corrosion influencing factors was analyzed with considering three levels of water-cement ratio, the concentration of chloride solution, and cover depth. As a result of long-term corrosion monitoring, HCP behavior was close to the critical corrosion potential(-350 mV) in all water-cement ratios in the case of 3.5 % and 7.0 % chloride concentration. Regarding the passed charge test in 548 curing days, the passed charge results were improved to 'Moderate' grade. Multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between corrosion influencing factors and HCP, and it was evaluated that the effects of influencing factors to HCP were in the order of chloride concentration, water-cement ratio, and cover depth. In the case of the relationship between HCP and the passed charge, the coefficient of determination showed a high level of 0.9, which yielded a close correlation between the passed charge and HCP.

Objectives : The present study had been undertaken to investigate the effects of Cynomorii Herba and Eucommiae Cortex on treatment of osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats. Methods : In this experiment, the rats of experimental groups were ovariectomized. Rats of medicinal groups were administered by water extracts of Cynomorii Herba or Eucommiae Cortex. The levels of bone mineral density and body weight were measured. Results : The levels of spinal bone mineral density was significantly increased in comparison with OVX group at 8 weeks after medication in Cynomorii Herba group. The levels of femoral and fibula-tibial bone mineral density were not significantly increased in comparison with OVX group after medication in Cynomorii Herba and Eucommiae Cortex group. The levels of body weight were not significantly decreased in comparison with OVX group after medication in Cynomorii Herba and Eucommiae Cortex group. Conclusions : Reviewing these experimetal results, it appears that Cynomorii Herba have efficacy on treatment of osteoporosis. And further study should be conducted to illustrate in depth the curing and prevention of osteoporosis.

Application of nanomaterials to cementitious composites has been attempted with the rapid development of nanotechnology since the 1990s. Various nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube, graphene, nano-SiO₂, nano-TiO₂, nano-Al₂O₃, nano-Clay, and nano-Magnetite have been applied to cementitious composites to improve the mechanical properties and the durability, and to impart a variety of functionality. In-depth information on the effect of nanomaterials on the hydration reaction, the microstructure, and the mechanical properties of cementitious nanocomposites is provided in the present study. Specifically, this paper mostly deals with the previous studies on the heat evolution characteristics of cementitious nanomaterials at an early age of curing, and the pore and the compressive strength characteristics of cementitious nanocomposites. Furthermore, the effect of nanomaterials on the cementitious nanocomposites was systematically discussed with the reviews.

The aim of the research is evaluating the feasibility of inspection for early age frozen damage and for expansion of concrete under the various time periods of -20℃ temperature condition. When the concrete samples were exposed for 12 hours and 24 hours, the frozen depth of the concrete were 10 and 60 mm, respectively, under the wet conditions. From the experiment results of temperature and expansion, only surface area suffered frozen damage for 12 hours exposing conditions while entire area suffered frozen damage for 24 hours exposing conditions.

I. Objectives Newly-designed method was evaluated to measure the linear polymerization shrinkage of light-cured resin composites. II. Materials and Methods A resin composite(Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray, Japan) was filled into a vinyl-polysiloxan mold(1 to 8mm-depth, and 7mm-diameter). As indicators, 4 beads(Retention Beads 2 SS, GC, Japan；particle size $200{\;}\mu\textrm{m}$) were placed diagonally on the resin surface of a mold. The coordinates (x, y, z, pasition) of each indicator were measrued by a measuring-microscope after which the resin surface was irradiated by a curing-light source(Optilux 500, Demetron/Kerr, USA) for 40 sec. After 20 sec the coordinates were again measured.(omitted)

Metakaolin (MK), which is increasingly being used to produce high performance concrete, is produced by calcining purified kaolinite between 650 and $700^{\circ}C$ in a rotary kiln. The carbonation resistance of metakaolin blended concrete is lower than that of control concrete. Hence, it is critical to consider carbonation durability for rationally using metakaolin in the concrete industry. This study presents microstructure modeling during the carbonation of metakaolin blended concrete. First, based on a blended hydration mo del, the amount of carbonatable substances and porosity are determined. Second, based on the chemical reactions between carbon dioxide and carbonatable substances, the reduction of concrete porosity due to carbonation is calculated. Furthermore, $CO_2$ diffusivity is evaluated considering the concrete composition and exposed environment. The carbonation depth of concrete is analyzed using a diffusion-based model. The proposed microstructure model takes into account the influences of concrete composition, concrete curing, and exposure condition on carbonation. The proposed model is useful as a predetermination tool for the evaluation of the carbonation service life of metakaolin blended concrete.
