Effects of Allolobophora caliginosatrapezoides (Ac) polysaccharide fractions on the inflammation and hypersensitivity were studied in vivo. It showed that Ac polysaccharide fractions have the significant inhibitory activities of inflammation and hypersensitivity; They inhibited significantly the carrageenin-induced paw edema and acetic acid-induced writhing syndrome. They also inhibited significantly the Arthus reaction and delayed hypersensitivity in the sheep red blood cell-sensitized mice in accordance with the inhibition of haemaglutinin titer, haemolysin titer, plaque-forming cells and rosette-forming cells. They also improved markedly the oxazolone-induced dermatitis in rats dose-dependently. As the above results, it exhibited that Ac polysaccharide fraction inhibited not only humoral immune response, but also cell-mediated immune response. It seemed that methanol and ether extracts have also another physiological active agents.

In order to develop a film-forming transdermal drug delivery system, polyurethane (PU) based on poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(tetramethylene oxide) was synthesized and characterized. The synthesized PU was blended with Gantrez ES 225 (GT) to improve the adhesion property of film-forming agent to the skin. When film-forming gel formulation containing 3% ketoprofen (KP) was applied, transparent thin film was obtained within 5 minutes and adhered to the skin for 8 hours. In vitro percutaneous absortion studies were performed to determine the rate of ketoprofen absorption through guinea pig skin. A prominent effect of limonene on the skin permeability of ketoprofen was observed among the various skin permeation enhancers investigated. Considering mechanica properties of film and skin permeability of ketoprofen, 2% of limonene was optimal content in the film forming transdermal formulation.

HPMC (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) was chemically modified, using maleic anhydrides, to obtain pH-sensitive HPMCAM (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate maleate) polymers for use as novel duodenum-specific coating agents. The pharmaceutical properties of HPMCAM, such as film forming, acid values, pH-sensitive values, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and Tg, were investigated, and found to show good film forming properties. The pH­sensitive values were 3.0 to 3.7. In vitro results demonstrate that HPMCAM could completely suppress drug release within 2h in a simulated gastric fluid (pH 1.2) and rapidly release the drug in a simulated pathological duodenal fluid (pH 3.4). These results indicate that HPMCAM might be a useful material for a duodenum-specific drug delivery system.

경량 콘크리트는 기포제를 사용하여 건축자재의 경량화와 단열성을 추구하고 있다. 그러나 기포제의 사용은 콘크리트의 체적이 감소되고, 압축강도가 낮아지는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 별도의 기포제를 사용하지 않고 산업 부산물인 폐발포 폴리우레탄을 재활용하여 콘크리트의 경량화와 단열성을 확보하고자 한다. 그리고 콘크리트의 시공성과 재료분리를 방지하기 위해 소량의 혼화재를 사용한다. 이러한 혼화재의 혼입률이 폐발포 폴리우레탄이 혼입된 경량 콘크리트의 물성에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 한다. 실험 결과, 두 개 회사의 혼화재 중에서 폐발포 폴리우레탄이 고르게 분산되는 것을 사용하였다. 혼화재의 혼입률을 다르게하여 배합한 결과는 혼화재의 혼입이 많을수록 콘크리트의 유동성이 감소된 반면, 콘크리트의 함수율과 압축강도는 소폭 증가하였다. 또한, 난연성능과 차음성능을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Objective: To analyze osteoporosis treatment patterns and teriparatide prescription-associated factors in Korea by using a national health insurance claims database. Methods: We utilized the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service National Patients Sample claims database to identify patients (aged ≥50 years) with at least one osteoporosis claim (International Classification of Disease 10th revision code: M80, M81, M82) and at least one prescription for osteoporosis medication (antiresorptive agents: bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators, denosumab, and calcitonin; bone-forming agent: teriparatide) in 2018. Demographic characteristics and healthcare utilization patterns were analyzed. Factors associated with teriparatide prescriptions were assessed using a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: Records showed that 44,815 patients were prescribed osteoporosis medications in 2018; the percentage of patients prescribed each treatment was as follows: 86.6% bisphosphonates, 13.9% selective estrogen receptor modulators, 3.1% calcitonin, 2.1% denosumab, and 0.7% teriparatide. A greater proportion of patients prescribed teriparatide were ≥75 years (53.4% vs. 33.8%) and had fractures (63.9% vs. 12.8%) compared to the same for antiresorptives (p<0.001). Patients prescribed teriparatide had higher Charlson comorbidity index values (1.2±1.3 vs. 0.9±1.2) and were more frequently hospitalized (0.8±1.3 vs. 0.1±0.5) than those prescribed antiresorptives (p<0.001). Elderly patients (≥75 years old; adjusted OR=1.66; 95% CI 1.16-2.38) and those with fractures (adjusted OR=6.23; 95% CI 4.76-8.14) were more likely to be prescribed teriparatide than antiresorptives. Conclusion: Patients prescribed teriparatide were older and more likely to have severe osteoporosis than those prescribed antiresorptives.

The formation of a supply chain should be approached with distributive viewpoint considering the dynamic nature of ordering environments. The purpose of this paper is to design a semantic web to support agent negotiation forming supply chains. With the view of a supply chain as composed of competitive agents which represent each member of supply chains with a local goal, a supply chain is formed through negotiation of price, due date choosing partners to contract. In the development of a negotiation method, we employ ontology and rules which are the basic techniques of the semantic web for supporting automated negotiations. Especially, a framework for a negotiation process is suggested and domain, processes and rules ontology are designed interrelatedly. With this modeling, a possibility of the semantic web based agent negotiation is suggested.

Gums, resins and gum-resins represent a variety of plant exudates that are highly prized and are extensively used in various industries. The usage of water soluble gums is growing at faster rate as they are excellent suspending agents, dispersants stabilizing agents, emulsifiers and gel forming agents. The gums are made up of carbohydrate polymers, composed of sugar units glycosidically condensed to form large molecules. Resins are non-volatile products, and oxidative products of terpenes or fatty acids, and are of greater commercial importance. They are soluble in water and contrasted with gums, soluble in organic solvents only.
