Reversible data hiding in encrypted images (RDHEI) provides some real-time cloud applications; i.e. the cloud, acting as a data-hider, automatically embeds timestamp in the encrypted image uploaded by a content owner. Many existing methods of RDHEI only satisfy user privacy in which the data-hider does not know the original image, but leaks owner privacy in which the receiver can obtains the original image by decryption and extraction. In the literature, the method of Zhang et al. is the one providing weak content-owner privacy in which the content-owner and data-hider have to share a data-hiding key. In this paper, we take care of the stronger notion, called strong content-owner privacy, and achieve it by presenting a new reversible data hiding in encrypted images. In the proposed method, image decryption and message extraction are separately controlled by different types of keys, and thus such functionalities are decoupled to solve the privacy problem. At the technique level, the original image is segmented along a Hilbert filling curve. To keep image privacy, segments are transformed into an encrypted image by using random permutation. The encrypted image does not reveal significant information about the original one. Data embedment can be realized by using pixel histogram-style hiding, since this property, can be preserved before or after encryption. The proposed method is a modular method to compile some specific reversible data hiding to those in encrypted image with content owner privacy. Finally, our experimental results show that the image quality is 50.85dB when the averaged payload is 0.12bpp.

Objectives: To evaluate postoperative pain after endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth using large intentional foraminal enlargement (LIFE). Materials and Methods: The sample included 60 asymptomatic necrotic teeth (with or without chronic apical periodontitis), and a periodontal probing depth of 3 mm, previously accessed and referred to perform endodontic treatment. After previous procedures, the position and approximate size of the apical foramen (AF) were determined by using an apex locator and K flexo-files, respectively. The chemomechanical preparation was performed with Profile 04 files 2 mm beyond the AF to achieve the LIFE, using 2.5 mL of 2.5% NaOCl at each file change. The filling was performed by Tagger's hybrid technique and EndoFill sealer. Phone calls were made to all the patients at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment, to classify postoperative pain. Statistical analysis was performed by different tests with a significance level of 5%. Results: Age, gender, periradicular status and tooth type did not influence postoperative pain (p > 0.05). Only 1 patient (1.66%) reported severe pain after 72 hours. Moderate pain was reported by 7, 4 and 3 patients after 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively (p = 0.0001). However, paired analyses showed a statistically significant difference only between 24 and 72 hours (p = 0.04). Sealer extrusion did not influence the postoperative pain (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Acute or moderate postoperative pain was uncommon after endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth with LIFE.

Objectives: This study investigated the nanoleakage of root canal obturations using calcium silicate-based sealer according to different drying methods. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two extracted mandibular premolars with a single root canal and straight root were selected for this study. After canal preparation with a nickel-titanium rotary file system, the specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups according to canal drying methods (1: complete drying, 2: blot drying/distilled water, 3: blot drying/NaOCl, 4: aspiration only). The root canals were obturated using a single-cone filling technique with a calcium silicate-based sealer. Nanoleakage was evaluated using a nanoflow device after 24 hours, 1 week, and 1 month. Data were collected twice per second at the nanoscale and measured in nanoliters per second. Data were statistically analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests (p < 0.05). Results: The mean flow rate measured after 24 hours showed the highest value among the time periods in all groups. However, the difference in the flow rate between 1 week and 1 month was not significant. The mean flow rate of the complete drying group was the highest at all time points. After 1 month, the mean flow rate in the blot drying group and the aspiration group was not significantly different. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the canal drying method had a significant effect on leakage and sealing ability in root canal obturations using a calcium silicate-based sealer. Thus, a proper drying procedure is critical in endodontic treatment.

Thanks to spectacular advances in the techniques for identifying proteins separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis and in methods for large-scale analysis of proteome variations, proteomics is becoming an essential methodology in various fields of plant sciences. Plant proteomics would be most useful when combined with other functional genomics tools and approaches. A combination of microarray and proteomics analysis will indicate whether gene regulation is controlled at the level of transcription or translation and protein accumulation. In this review, we described the catalogues of the rice proteome which were constructed in our program, and functional characterization of some of these proteins was discussed. Mass-spectrometry is a most prevalent technique to identify rapidly a large of proteins in proteome analysis. However, the conventional Western blotting/sequencing technique us still used in many laboratories. As a first step to efficiently construct protein data-file in proteome analysis of major cereals, we have analyzed the N-terminal sequences of 100 rice embryo proteins and 70 wheat spike proteins separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis. Edman degradation revealed the N-terminal peptide sequences of only 31 rice proteins and 47 wheat proteins, suggesting that the rest of separated protein spots are N-terminally blocked. To efficiently determine the internal sequence of blocked proteins, we have developed a modified Cleveland peptide mapping method. Using this above method, the internal sequences of all blocked rice proteins (i. e., 69 proteins) were determined. Among these 100 rice proteins, thirty were proteins for which homologous sequence in the rice genome database could be identified. However, the rest of the proteins lacked homologous proteins. This appears to be consistent with the fact that about 30% of total rice cDNA have been deposited in the database. Also, the major proteins involved in the growth and development of rice can be identified using the proteome approach. Some of these proteins, including a calcium-binding protein that fumed out to be calreticulin, gibberellin-binding protein, which is ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activate in rice, and leginsulin-binding protein in soybean have functions in the signal transduction pathway. Proteomics is well suited not only to determine interaction between pairs of proteins, but also to identify multisubunit complexes. Currently, a protein-protein interaction database for plant proteins (http://genome .c .kanazawa-u.ac.jp/Y2H)could be a very useful tool for the plant research community. Recently, we are separated proteins from grain filling and seed maturation in rice to perform ESI-Q-TOF/MS and MALDI-TOF/MS. This experiment shows a possibility to easily and rapidly identify a number of 2-DE separated proteins of rice by ESI-Q-TOF/MS and MALDI-TOF/MS. Therefore, the Information thus obtained from the plant proteome would be helpful in predicting the function of the unknown proteins and would be useful in the plant molecular breeding. Also, information from our study could provide a venue to plant breeder and molecular biologist to design their research strategies precisely.

연구목적: 이 연구의 목적은 레진 시멘트의 포스트 공간 내 적용 방법에 따른 포스트의 push-out접착 강도를 비교하는 것이었다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 30개의 발거된 하악소구치를 사용하여 시멘트의 적용 방법에 따라 세 그룹으로 나누었는데 lentulo-spiral을 이용하여 포스트 공간 내에 레진 시멘트를 적용하는 그룹 (group Lentulo), 직접 포스트 표면에 레진 시멘트를 도포하는 그룹 (group Direct), elongation tip을 이용하여 포스트 공간 내에 레진 시멘트를 적용하는 그룹 (group Elongation tip)으로 나누었다. 근관을 성형, 충전한 뒤 Rely-X post drill을 사용하여 포스트 공간을 형성하였고, Rely-X fiber post를 Rely-X Unicem 적용하여 광중합 하였다. 시편을 아크릴릭 레진에 포매 하고 저속 절단기로 치아 장축에 수직으로 절단하여, 하나의 치아에서 치관부, 중앙, 근단부의 세 개의 시편을 얻었다. 절단한 시편을 Universal Testing Machine으로 push-out 접착 강도를 측정하였다. 접착 실패가 일어난 시편을 수술용 현미경 하에서 관찰하여 그 실패 양상을 결정하였다. 결과: 치근의 위치에 따른 push-out 접착 강도는 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 전용의 elongation tip을 사용한 그룹이 가장 높은 push-out 접착 강도를 나타냈다. 결론: 레진 시멘트를 포스트에 직접 적용하거나 lentulo-spiral을 사용하는 기존의 방법에 비해 elongation tip을 사용하는 것이 self-adhesive 계면의 결함을 줄이고 근관치료한 치아의 수복 성공율을 높일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of the restorative technique on the mechanical response of endodontically-treated upper premolars with mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavity. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight premolars received MOD preparation (4 groups, n = 12) with different restorative techniques: glass ionomer cement + composite resin (the GIC group), a metallic post + composite resin (the MP group), a fiberglass post + composite resin (the FGP group), or no endodontic treatment + restoration with composite resin (the CR group). Cusp strain and load-bearing capacity were evaluated. One-way analysis of variance and the Tukey test were used with ${\alpha}=5%$. Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to calculate displacement and tensile stress for the teeth and restorations. Results: MP showed the highest cusp (p = 0.027) deflection ($24.28{\pm}5.09{\mu}m/{\mu}m$), followed by FGP ($20.61{\pm}5.05{\mu}m/{\mu}m$), CR ($17.62{\pm}7.00{\mu}m/{\mu}m$), and GIC ($17.62{\pm}7.00{\mu}m/{\mu}m$). For load-bearing, CR ($38.89{\pm}3.24N$) showed the highest, followed by GIC ($37.51{\pm}6.69N$), FGP ($29.80{\pm}10.03N$), and MP ($18.41{\pm}4.15N$) (p = 0.001) value. FEA showed similar behavior in the restorations in all groups, while MP showed the highest stress concentration in the tooth and post. Conclusions: There is no mechanical advantage in using intraradicular posts for endodontically-treated premolars requiring MOD restoration. Filling the pulp chamber with GIC and restoring the tooth with only CR showed the most promising results for cusp deflection, failure load, and stress distribution.

와동 형성시 C-factor와 충전방법이 복합레진 수복물에서의 수축 응력에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 발거된 소구치를 대상으로 C-factor가 3.6과 1.0인 와동을 각각 형성한 후 hybrid형 복합레진인 $Z-250^{TM}$(3M ESPE U.S.A.)과 flowable형 복합레진인 $Filtek\;flow^{TM}$(3M ESPE U.S.A.)를 사용하여 layering을 시행하고 광중합하면서 strain gauge법을 이용하여 치질에서의 수축 응력을 측정하였다. 시편을 절단하여 레진과 상아질 사이 계면의 접착상태를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. C-factor에 따른 수축 응력을 측정한 결과 C-factor가 3.7인 제 1군과 제 2군 그리고 제 5군이 900초 후 각각 0.11, 0.07, 0.07 MPa로 C-factor가 1.0인 제 3군과 제 4군의 0.05와 0.04 MPa에 비해 크게 나타났다(P<0.05). 1,800초 후에는 제 1군, 제 5군, 제 2군, 제 3군, 제 4순으로 크게 나타났으나 제 2군과 제 3군 그리고 제 3군과 제 4군 사이에는 유의성이 없었다. 2. 재료에 따른 수축 응력의 차이는 C-factor가 3.7인 와동의 경우 hybrid형 레진인 Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$이 flowable 레진인 $Filtek\;flow^{TM}$에 비해 수축 응력이 크게 나타났으나(P<0.05), C-factor가 1.0인 와동의 경우 재료의 차이에 따른 수축응력의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. Layering에 따른 수축 응력은 Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$을 layering 없이 bulk 충전한 제 1군에 비해 flowable 레진을 layering한 제 5군이 전 측정 시간대에 걸쳐 수축 응력이 유의하게 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 4. C-factor가 3.7인 제 1군과 제 2군 제 5군은 900초까지 수축 응력이 증가하다 이후 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 5. C-factor가 1.0인 와동의 경우 충전용 레진 종류에 관계없이 레진과 와동벽 사이에 긴밀한 접착 상태를 보였으나 C-factor가 3.7인 와동의 경우 부분적으로 틈이 관찰되었다. 전반적으로 와동저에 비해 와동벽에서 틈이 더 많이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 복합레진 수복시 수축응력에 따른 합병증을 예방하기 위해 C-factor를 크지 않게 와동을 설계, 형성하여야 하며 C-factor가 클 경우 flowable 레진을 이장하는 등 재료적인 면에서의 선택과 적용법이 중요할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 현재 널리 쓰이고 있는 sandwich technique을 임상에 적용함에 있어서, GIC 이장재에 대한 이중중합형 레진과 비교적 근래에 소개된 compomer의 결합력을 측정하여 기존의 광중합형, 화학중합형 복합레진과 비교하고, 가장 우수한 결합력을 보이는 glass ionomer-composite resin의 조합을 밝혀내고자 시도되었다. 이장용 재료로는, 광중합형 GIC인 Vitrebond와 화학중합형 GIC인 Ketac-fil을 사용하였으며, 이 두 가지의 이장재에 대해, 광중합형 복합 레진인 Z-100, 화학중합형 복합 레진인 Clearfil, compomer인 Dyract, 그리고 이중중합형 복합 레진인 Bis-core를 축조하여 각 군당 10개씩, 총 80개의 시편을 제작하였다. 제작된 시편은 $37^{\circ}C$의 증류수에 24시간동안 보관한 후, full load scale 50kg, cross-head speed 1mm/min 조건의 만능 시험기에서 그 전단결합강도를 측정하였으며 실험결과는 student t-test로 검정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Vitrebond를 이장재로 사용한 경우, Z-100이 가장 낮은 결합강도를 보였으며, 나머지 세 재료는 결합력의 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 2. Ketac-fil을 이장재로 사용한 경우, Clearfil이 가장 높은 결합강도를 보였고, Dyract, Bis-core가 중등도의 결합강도를, Z-100이 가장 낮은 결합강도를 보였다(P<0.05). 3. Clearfil은 Vitrebond 상방에서는 타 재료들과 비슷한 결합강도를 보였으나, Ketac-fil 상방에서는 가장 강한 결합강도를 보임으로써, GIC 이장재의 종류에 따른 결합력의 차이를 보였으나 (P<0.05), 나머지 세 재료의 경우에는 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 4. Vitrebond를 사용할 때보다 Ketac-fil을 이장재로 사용할 때, 상부에 축조되는 복합레진의 종류에 따른 결합력의 차이가 더 크게 나타났다(P<0.05).

We performed exercise radionuclide ventriculography to evaluate left ventricular (LV) function in 35 patients with pure mitral stenosis (MS). There were 6 males and 29 females ranging from 21 to 63 years of age (mean $37{\pm}10$ years). We also studied 8 healthy men as control group (mean age $27{\pm}5$ years). Each patients was evaluated at rest and during maximal exercise on an isokinetic bicycle ergometer. Peak filling rate (PFR), peak ejection rate (PER), ejection fracion (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV), and cardiac output (CO) were determined by the radionuclide technique. The results were summarized as follows: 1) LV systolic dysfunction and reduced PFR were noted in patients with MS. 2) EDV as well as SV decreased with exercise in patients with MS. 3) No significant increase in EF during exercise compared to rest value was observed because it was caused by reduced EDV and SV during exercise in patients with MS. 4) CO increased with exercise was significantly lower than normal in patients with MS. 5) Patients with MS were divided into two groups according to whether SF increased more than 5% druing exercise compared to resting state or decreased. Significant difference were found between these two groups. Patients with a fall in EF with exercise were older, had larger left atrial size, and had lesser decreased in ESV during exercise.
