Atopic dermatitis induced NC/Nga mice were used to investigate the efficacy of HYT on the recovery of dermatitic symptoms by how HYT influenced the immune related factors. The results are as below: 1. Compared to the control, HYT treated group showed recovery of atopic dermatitis by the naked eye observation, and significant reduction of dermatits index was observed after 14 weeks. 2. HYT treated group showed significant decrease of the ratio of CCR3+, B220+/IgE+, and Gr-1+/CD11b+ immune cells in dorsal skin by 40.5%, 34.2%, and 48.1%, respectively. 3. HYT treated group showed increase in the ratio of CD19+ immune cells within PBMC by 10.8%, as well as decrease in CD3+, CD3+/CD69+, NKT+ ratios by 5.3%, 35.2%, and 44.9%, respectively. 4. HYT treated group showed increase in the expression of IFN-$\gamma$ in serum by 589.3%, whereas the expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, TNF-$\alpha$, MCP-1 and RANTES were decreased by 31.4%, 82.1%, 97.1%, 39.5%, 83.7%, 26.1%, 48.6%, respectively. A 47.2% decrease in IgE expression was also observed. The results above strongly supported the improvement of atopic dermatitis by HYT treatment through immune modulation. Further studies on the synergistic effect of each ingredients of HYT and therapeutic effects according to the dosage of each ingredient should be followed for clinical applications. This work was (partly) supported by the RIC program of MKE(Ministry of Knowledge Economy) in Daejeon University.

대표적인 공개키 암호방식인 RSA에 사용되는 합성수 n=pq의 큰자리 소수 p,q를 소인수분해하여 구하는 것은 사실상 불가능하다. 공개키 e와 합성수 n은 알고 개인키 d를 모를 때, ${\phi}(n)=(p-1)(q-1)=n+1-(p+q)$을 구하여 $d=e^{-1}(mod{\phi}(n))$의 역함수로 개인키 d를 해독할수 있다. 따라서 ${\phi}(n)$을 알기위해 n으로부터 p,q를 구하는 수학적 난제인 소인수분해법을 적용하고 있다. 소인수분해법에는 n/p=q의 나눗셈 시행법보다는 $a^2{\equiv}b^2(mod\;n)$, a=(p+q)/2,b=(q-p)/2의 제곱합동법이 일반적으로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 다양한 제곱합동법이 존재함에도 불구하고 아직까지도 많은 RSA 수들이 해독되지 않고 있다. 본 논문은 ${\phi}(n)$을 직접 구하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 $2^j{\equiv}{\beta}_j(mod\;n)$, $2^{{\gamma}-1}$ < n < $2^{\gamma}$, $j={\gamma}-1,{\gamma},{\gamma}+1$에 대해 $2^k{\beta}_j{\equiv}2^i(mod\;n)$, $0{\leq}i{\leq}{\gamma}-1$, $k=1,2,{\ldots}$ 또는 $2^k{\beta}_j=2{\beta}_j$로 ${\phi}(n)$을 구하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 $n-10{\lfloor}{\sqrt{n}}{\rfloor}$ < ${\phi}(n){\leq}n-2{\lfloor}{\sqrt{n}}{\rfloor}$의 임의의 위치에 존재하는 ${\phi}(n)$도 약 2배 차이의 수행횟수로 찾을 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 인체 두피조직에서 미세수술법을 이용하여 모낭을 성공적으로 분리하였으며 다양한 조건으로 액침기관배양을 수행하였다. 우태아 혈청첨가시 모낭의 길이 성장이 저해되는 것으로 확인되어 무혈청 배지 조성을 시도하였다. 무혈청 배지로는 모낭 기관배양에 널리 이용되는 Williams'E medium을 기본으로 하는 Philpott medium과 자체 개발한 고농도 아미노산과 비타민(B군) 조성의 DHGM(Dongguk hair growth medium)을 이용하였다. 그리고 IMDM은 DHGM의 비교 대조군으로 이용하였다. 연구 결과 Philpott medium과 IMDM으로 배양한 모낭은 구조상으로는 길이 성장이 각각 9일과 12일 정도에 멈추며, 낮은 알카라인 포스파테이즈 발현, CK19 발현이 거의 없는 것으로 보아 세포사멸에 의한 퇴화(regression)가 빠르게 일어나는 것으로 판단되었다. 반면, DHGM으로 배양한 모낭은 상대적으로 긴 기간 동안 성장기의 구조를 보이며 25일까지 지속적인 길이 증가 및 3배 높은 알카라인 포스파테이즈 발현, 전반적인 CK19 발현을 나타내었다. 따라서 고농도의 아미노산 및 비타민 배지 조성이 생체 외에서 모낭을 장기간 배양하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 배양 방법은 장기간 검사를 필요로 하는 모낭에 대한 기초 생물학적 연구뿐만 아니라 새로운 탈모치료제의 효능 평가 분야에 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

Condensation of 4-cyano-5,6-dimethyl-3-pyridazinone 1 with aromatic aldehydes gave the novel styryl derivatives 2a-c. Refluxing of compound 2a with phosphorus oxychloride furnished 3-chloropyridazine derivative 3. Compound 3 was reacted with thiourea and produced pyridazine-3(2H)thione 4. Thieno[2,3-c]- pyridazines 5a-e were achieved by cycloalkylation of compound 4 with halocompounds in methanol under reflux and in the presence of sodium methoxide. Also, refluxing of compound 4 with N-substituted chloroacetamide in the presence of potassium carbonate afforded thienopyridazines 6a-e. Cyclization of compound 6 with some electrophilic reagents as carbon disulfide and triethyl orthoformate furnished the novel pyrimido[4',5':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyridazines 12 and 13a-c, respectively. Diazotisation of compound 6 with sodium nitrite in acetic acid produced the pyridazino[4',3':4,5]thieno[3,2-d][1,2,3]triazines 14a-c. Ternary condensation of compound 1, aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile in ethanol containing piperidine under reflux afforded the novel phthalazines 16a-c. Compound 3 was subjected to some nucleophilic substitution reactions with amines and sodium azide and formed the aminopyridazines 17a, b and tetrazolo[1,5-b]-pyridazine 19, respectively. The structures of the synthesized compounds were established by elemental and spectral analyses.

In this study, Woongjin fermented red ginseng extract (WFRG) was evaluated for its potential ability to act as an adjuvant for the immune response of mice. For the in vitro study, macrophages were treated with serial concentrations ($1{\mu}g/mL$, $10{\mu}g/mL$, and $100{\mu}g/mL$) of WFRG. For in vivo studies, mice were administered different concentrations (10 mg/kg/day, 100 mg/kg/day, and 200 mg/kg/day) of WFRG orally for 21 days. In vitro, the production of nitric oxide and TNF-${\alpha}$ by RAW 264.7 cells increased in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo, WFRG enhanced the proliferation of splenocytes induced by two mitogens (i.e., concanavalin A and lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) and increased LPS-induced production of TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-6, but not IL-$1{\beta}$. In conclusion, WFRG has the potential to modulate immune function and should be further investigated as an immunostimulatory agent.

Since traffic congestion ratio at any given port fluctuates on the number of arriving and departing vessels, the total tonnage of freight volume being handled, and the number of berth in operation and other factors, there exists a need to numerically analyze the waterway traffic volume. However, there are no effective regulations in regards to the waterway traffic analysis prior to expansion of a port facility. The current analysis requires the traffic analysis in relation only to the width of the waterway, which clearly falls short of achieving a comprehensive evaluation study that could be used in consideration of port expansion.This study provides five scenarios to execute a comprehensive evaluation study and base for the sensitivity study by analyzing the scenarios. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, the A, B, and C scenarios varies the average arrival ratio of the berth shows 1.1, 1.19, and 1.28 times of delays respectively. Also, The D and E scenarios take place malfunctions of pier shows 1.21 and 1.53 times of delays respectively. Therefore, various strategies of harbor development and method of harbor management are needed for the flexible correspondence to the environmental changes such as the excessive increasing of the freight volume and often taking place of malfunctioning.

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the filtration efficiencies and pressure drops of five commercial cloth masks (4 plate type, 1 cup type) in comparison to the performance of a class 1 disposable respirator (reference respirator). A further objective was to evaluate the effects of the number of layers and wash treatment independently on filtration efficiencies and pressure drops. Methods: Polydisperse NaCl aerosols were generated in an aerosol chamber and their concentrations were measured by an optical particle counter (OPC) in the size range of $0.3{\sim}10{\mu}m$ (five channels). Results: The filtration efficiencies of the five cloth masks and the reference respirator were D: 9.5%, C: 18.5%, E: 23.6%, A: 28.5%, B: 29.7% and R: 91.1%, respectively, and the pressure drops through them were C, D: 0.8 Pa, E: 1.7 Pa, B: 6.4 Pa, A: 42.7 Pa and R: 19.3 Pa, respectively. The filtration efficiencies of the cloth masks and reference respirator were below the class 1 respirator criterion (${\geq}94.0%$) of the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) and Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). The pressure drops satisfied the class 1 respirator criterion (${\leq}70Pa$) of MOEL and MFDS. When the cloth masks were folded into two and four layers, the filtration efficiencies of cloth masks A, B, C, D (plate type) increased 1.7-4.6 times, and 2.3-6.8 times, respectively, compared to the efficiencies of the same products in a single layer. Pressure drops increased as the number of layers was increased. The filtration efficiency of cloth mask E with a liner was 1.3 times higher than that of the same mask without a liner, and the pressure drop was lower in the no-liner configuration. After a single washing, the filtration efficiencies of all the cloth mask products decreased 1.04-4.0 times compared to those of the same products intact. For the cloth masks C and E, their filtration efficiencies were significantly decreased after washing (p<0.05). The pressure drops of all cloth masks were 1.2-2.0 times lower after washing. Conclusions: The filtration efficiencies of the five cloth masks were below 30% and did not improve greatly by increasing the number of layers. After a single washing, their performances decreased. Considering the above and other issues identified with cloth masks, such as poor fit and stretched fibers through use, people should not expect protection against particulate matters from the cloth masks on the market.
