두께가 6~10 nm인 게이트 산화막의 계면에 염소(Cl)를 도입시킨 n-MOS capacitor 및 n-MOSFET을 제잘하여 물성적인 방법(SIMS, ESCA)과 전기적인 방법에 의해서 소자의 특성을 분석, 평가하였다. Last step TCA법을 이용하여 성장시킨 산화막은 No TCA법으로 성장시킨 것보다 mobility가 7% 정도 증가하였고, 결함 밀도도 감소하였다. Time-zero-dielectric-breakdown(TZDB)으로 측정한 결과, Cl를 도입한 막의 파괴 전계(breakdon field)는 18 MV/cm인데, 이것은 Cl을 도입하지 않은 것보다 약 0.6 MV/cm 정도 높은 값이다. 또한 time-dependent-dielectric-breakdown(TDDB) 결과로부터 수명이 20년 이상인 것으로 평가되었고, hot carrier 신뢰성 측정으로부터 평가한 소자의 수명도 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 Cl을 계면에 도입시킨 게이트 산화막을 가진 소자가 좋은 특성을 나타내고 있으므로 Last step TCA법을 종래의 산화막 성장 방법 대신에 사용하면 MOSFET 소자의 새로운 게이트 절연막 성장법으로서 대단히 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

기계 혹은 구조물의 파손 및 파괴는 소재의 내부에 존재하는 결함에서 발생하는 크랙에 의한 것이다. 이러한 크랙들은 밀집하여 존재하는 경우가 많기 때문에 크랙의 진전 및 성장특성들을 고려하지 않으면 안 된다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 표준 CT 시험편 내부의 크랙 및 구멍의 위치에 따른 파괴특성을 고찰하였으며, 표준CT 시험편에 편심된 집중하중을 가하였을 때, 시험편 내 크랙 주변의 구멍의 존재유무 및 위치에 따른 파괴역학적 거동에 대하여 규명하였다. 연구 결과로서 Model 3(크랙 주변에 구멍이 한 개 존재하는 시험편 모델로서 크랙의 끝부분과 구멍 간의 거리 가로방향으로 2mm의 경우)가 최대 변형량, 최대 응력 및 최대 변형 에너지, 모두 가장 크게 나타났으며, 모든 시험편 모델들이 시험편 내부의 크랙과 구멍의 거리가 가까울수록 최대 응력이 커지는 경향을 보였다. 또한 구멍의 개수와는 별개로 시험편 내부의 크랙 가까이에 구멍이 존재할 때 크랙 가까이에서 최대 응력은 커지는 경향이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 이러한 본 연구 결과를 토대로 기계 혹은 기계 구조물 내부에 구멍을 뚫는다면, 시험편에 발생하는 파괴 응력의 값을 줄임으로써 파손이나 고장이 일어나는 것을 방지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Shoot branching is an essential agronomic trait that impacts on plant architecture and yield. Shoot branching is determined by two independent steps: axillary meristem formation and axillary bud outgrowth. Although several genes and regulatory mechanism have been studied with respect to shoot branching, the roles of chromatin-remodeling factors in the developmental process have not been reported in rice. We previously identified a chromatin-remodeling factor OsVIL2 that controls the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) at target genes. In this study, we report that loss-of-function mutants in OsVIL2 showed a phenotype of reduced tiller number in rice. The reduction was due to a defect in axillary bud (tiller) outgrowth rather than axillary meristem initiation. Analysis of the expression patterns of the tiller-related genes revealed that expression of OsTB1, which is a negative regulator of bud outgrowth, was increased in osvil2 mutants. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that OsVIL2 binds to the promoter region of OsTB1 chromatin in wild-type rice, but the binding was not observed in osvil2 mutants. Tiller number of double mutant osvil2 ostb1 was similar to that of ostb1, suggesting that osvil2 is epistatic to ostb1. These observations indicate that OsVIL2 suppresses OsTB1 expression by chromatin modification, thereby inducing bud outgrowth.

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to describe the results of treatment for motor vehiclerelated crushing injuries among children and adolescents under sixteen years in Korea. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of data from children who were under sixteen year and injured foot by motor vehicles. Cases were documented 1) age at the time of injury, 2) injured site, 3) the area of accident, 4) the kind of vehicle, 5) associated injuries, 6) methods of treatment for soft tissue reconstruction and 7) complications. The relationships between the area of accident and associated injuries, and the kind of vehicle and associated injuries were analyzed using Chi-square test and Fisher exact test. Results: There were 97 children who were 15 year and younger. The mean age was 7.4 years, and 65% were boys. The left foot was more dominant side of injury (57%). Seasonal variation was seen with the number of injuries peaking during the summer (43%, p<0.05). Among the vehicles, 78.3% were the large vehicles (bus, truck or van). The where of accident was more frequent at an alley or less than two lanes of traffic. But, the relationships between the place of accident and associated injury or the kind of vehicles and associated injury were not statistically significant. The associated injury were fracture or dislocation (23 cases, 35.9%), injury of tendon (21 cases, 32.8%). There were amputation or disarticulation of foot in 8 cases (8.2%) and post-traumatic deformities such as flatfoot, hindfoot varus or valus deformities by tendon injury in 7 cases (7.2%). Conclusion: More than 50% of crushing or degloving injuries of child's foot by traffic accidents happened in boys between 5 to 9 years old. The associated injury was unrelated with size of vehicles or accident place at the time of accident. But, even though foot injury happened in an alley or one lane by small vehicles, child who hurt feet by car need thorough investigation about associated injury. If a surgeon keep in mind and treat child to associated injury necessarily, can minimize complication. Microsurgical reconstruction for soft tissue defect was prior to other methods.

The 3D interconnect technologies have been appeared, as the density of Integrated Circuit (IC) devices increases. Through Silicon Via (TSV) process is an important technology in the 3D interconnect technologies. And the process is used to form a vertically electrical connection through silicon dies. This TSV process has some advantages that short length of interconnection, high interconnection density, low electrical resistance, and low power consumption. Because of these advantages, TSVs could improve the device performance higher. The fabrication process of TSV has several steps such as TSV etching, insulator deposition, seed layer deposition, metallization, planarization, and assembly. Among them, TSV metallization (i.e. TSV filling) was core process in the fabrication process of TSV because TSV metallization determines the performance and reliability of the TSV interconnect. TSVs were commonly filled with metals by using the simple electrochemical deposition method. However, since the aspect ratio of TSVs was become a higher, it was easy to occur voids and copper filling of TSVs became more difficult. Using some additives like an accelerator, suppressor and leveler for the void-free filling of TSVs, deposition rate of bottom could be fast whereas deposition of side walls could be inhibited. The suppressor was adsorbed surface of via easily because of its higher molecular weight than the accelerator. However, for high aspect ratio TSV fillers, the growth of the top of via can be accelerated because the suppressor is replaced by an accelerator. The substitution of the accelerator and the suppressor caused the side wall growth and defect generation. The suppressor was used as Single additive electrodeposition of TSV to overcome the constraints. At the electrochemical deposition of high aspect ratio of TSVs, the suppressor as single additive could effectively suppress the growth of the top surface and the void-free bottom-up filling became possible. Generally, copper was used to fill TSVs since its low resistivity could reduce the RC delay of the interconnection. However, because of the large Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) mismatch between silicon and copper, stress was induced to the silicon around the TSVs at the annealing process. The Keep Out Zone (KOZ), the stressed area in the silicon, could affect carrier mobility and could cause degradation of the device performance. Cobalt can be used as an alternative material because the CTE of cobalt was lower than that of copper. Therefore, using cobalt could reduce KOZ and improve device performance. In this study, high-aspect ratio TSVs were filled with cobalt using the electrochemical deposition. And the filling performance was enhanced by using the suppressor as single additive. Electrochemical analysis explains the effect of suppressor in the cobalt filling bath and the effect of filling behavior at condition such as current type was investigated.

ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)은 4-17세의 아동 및 청소년의 약 10%가 겪는 흔한 신경 발달 장애이지만 그 핵심 기전이 알려져 있지 않은 가운데 관련한 여러 단백질들이 보고되어왔다. 이중 GIT1 (G-protein coupled-receptor kinase interacting protein-1)은 중추신경계에서 dendritic spine formation와 growth에 영향을 미치는 multifunctional adaptor protein으로, GIT1이 제거된 생쥐는 과잉행동, 주의력결핍 그리고 충동성을 보이는 ADHD 증상을 보이게 된다. 이 논문에서는 GIT1 유전자 변형 생쥐를 이용하여 genotype별로 신경교세포의 전달물질(gliotransmitter)을 비교 분석하는 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 주요 흥분성 전달물질인 glutamate는 HE (hetero)와 KO (knock-out)의 세포 내에서 WT (wildtype)보다 더 높은 농도로 존재했다. 한편, 억제성 신경전달물질인 GABA와 glycine의 경우 전반적으로 HE에서 가장 많은 함유량을 보였지만 소뇌 세포내의 경우, KO이 WT보다 많은 양을 함유한 것에 비해 대뇌 세포 내에서는 KO보다 WT의 억제성 전달물질 함유량이 높았다. 또한, glutamate와 GABA를 기준으로 흥분성/억제성 비율(excitation/inhibition ratio)을 보았을 때, 소뇌 세포 내/외 모두에서 KO이 가장 높은 수치를 보였고, 대뇌에서는 세포 내/외 모두 HE에서 가장 높은 수치를 보였다. 억제성 신경전달물질인 GABA가 KO의 대뇌 세포 외에서 가장 많은 것으로 보아 GIT1 결손을 보완하기 위해 억제성 물질을 더 많이 분비하거나 또는 과도하게 분비된 GABA를 재흡수하지 못하는 것이라 사료된다. 이는 ADHD 병리기전으로써 기능할 가능성을 제시하며 후속 연구를 통해 해당 기전에 대한 규명이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Various methods and graft materials have been used to fill in the defect adjacent to the implants and considered as clinically acceptable. But it is not clear whether the regenerated bone increases the implant-bone contact and supports the implant. The purpose of this study is to evaluate regenerated bone surrounding implants using bone morphogenetic protein(BMP) and demineralized freeze-dried bone(DFDB), and the interfaces between implants and regenerated bone. bBMP was extracted and partially purified from the bovine bone matrix using heparine chromatography. Demineralized freeze-dried bone was made from the dog. Inactive insoluble collagenous bone matrix(IBM) of dog was used as carrier of bBMP. Interfaces of titanium coated epoxy resin implants were processed for demineralized section for transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and those of screw type implants were for nondemineralized section for light and fluoromicroscopic examination. Implants were inserted in the inferior border of mandible of adult dogs and artificial bony defects($3{\times}3{\times}4mm$) were made at the mesial and distal side of implants. Defects were filled with BMP(BMP group) and DFDB(DFDB group). For the fluoromicroscopic examination, the fluorescent dyes(oxytetracycline, calcein green, alizarin red) were injected 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks after implantation. The experimental animals were sacrificed at the 6th and the 12th week and their mandible were extirpated and processed for examination with light microscopy, fluoromicroscopy and TEM. The obtained results were as follows : 1. By the light microscopic findings, the defects were filled with woven bone at the 6th week and compact bone at the 12th week, and the osseointegrations were seen in both groups. There was no histological difference between them. 2. On the basis of the histomorphometric analysis, BMP group(6th week: 40.25%, 12th week: 56.04%) had higher bony contact ratio than DFDB group(38.37%, 42.63%). There was significant difference between two groups at the 12th week(p<0.05). 3. The amount of bone formation in BMP group was more prominent than in DFDB group. Significant difference was noted among two groups at the 6th and the 8th week(p<0.05). 4. By the transmission electron microscopic findings, $0.4-2{\mu}m$ soft tissue layer was found in adjacent to the interfaces and over the collagen fibrils of bone at the 6th week. However, about 100nm amorphous layer was noted at the interface or collagen fibrils directly extended to the titanium surface at the 12th week. There was no significant difference between two groups. 5. These results suggest that BMP and DFDB can be used as good graft materials in the regeneration of bone adjacent to implant, and BMP is more valuable as a bone inducer than DFDB.

The ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is the regeneration of periodontal tissue which has been lost due to destructive periodontal disease, and numerous kinds of materials and techniques have been developed to achieve this goal. Bone grafts include autografts, allografts, xenografts and synthetic grafts. Among the synthetic grafts, bioactive glass has been used in dentistry for more than ten years and Fetner reported improved new bone formation and more amount of new attachment after grafting PerioGlas, a kind of bioactive glass, in 2-wall defects of monkeys in 1994. It Is well known that 1-wall defects have less osteogenic potential and more epithelial migration, so we need to study the erect of bioactive glass in 1-wall dejects in dogs. The present study evaluates the effect of bioactive glass on the epithelial migration, alveolar bone regeneration, cementum formation and gingival connective tissue attachment in intrabony detects of dogs. Four millimeter deep and four millimeter wide 1-wall defects were surgically cheated in the mesial aspects of premolars. The test group received bioactive glass with a flap procedure and the control underwent flap procedure only. Histologic analysis after 8 weeks of healing revealed the following results: 1. The height of gingival margin was 1.30{\pm}0.73mm$ above CEJ in the control and $1.40{\pm}0.78mm$ in the test group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two group. 2. The length of epithelial growth (the distance from CEJ to the apical end of JE) was $1.74{\pm}0.47mm$ in the control and $1.12{\pm}0.36mm$ in the test group. These was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). 3. The length of new cementum was $2.06{\pm}0.73mm$ in the control and $2.62{\pm}0.37mm$ in the test group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. 4. The length of new bone was $1.83{\pm}0.74mm$ in the control and $2.39{\pm}0.59mm$ in the test group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. These results suggest that the use of bioactive glass 1-wall intrabony defects has significant effect on the prevention of junctional epithelium migration, but doesn't have any significant effect on new bone and new cementum formation.
