이산화티탄 표면에 흡착되는 금 입자의 분포 또는 그 반대 경우의 분포에 영향을 끼칠 수도 있는 정전기적 상호작용과 금 입자를 코팅한 Glutathione 층의 표면물성을 규명하였다. 이를 위하여, 원자힘현미경(AFM)으로 Glutathione 층표면과 이산화티탄표면 사이의 표면힘을 염 농도와 pH 값에 따라 측정하였다. 측정된 힘은 Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek(DLVO) 이론으로 해석되어 표면의 정전기적인 특성들이 정량적으로 산출되었다. 이 특성들이 염 농도와 pH에 대하여 나타내는 의존성을 질량보존의 법칙으로 기술하였다. pH 8과 11에서 실험으로 산출된 표면 특성의 염 농도 의존성은 이론적으로 예측했던 결과와 일치하는 것으로 관찰되었다. pH 8과 11에서 Glutathione 층의 표면이 이산화티탄 표면보다 높은 정전기적 특성을 갖는 것이 발견되었는데, 이는 Glutathione 층의 이온화-기능-그룹에 기인한 것으로 생각된다.

The mussel adhesive protein Mefp-1 is a natural, strong and durable adhesive that is stable under corrosive, saline conditions. Mefp-1 is found in the marine mussel Mytilus edulis and it has a molecular weight of ca. 130,000. The primary structure is mainly composed of repeating decapetides: Ala-Lys-Pro -Ser-Tyr Hyp-Hyp-Thr-DOPA-Lys. To elucidate the mechanism by which Mefp-1 bonds to metal surfaces, we have used surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to study the interactions of peptides related to the Mefp-1 decapeptide repeat with gold surfaces. We have concluded that the tyrosine residue and the carboxyl terminus interact strongly with the gold surface, and that proline and hydroxyproline constrain the conformations of the peptides, thereby limiting the types of possible interactions of the functional groups with the gold surface.

연구배경 : 클라미디아 감염의 진단은 혈청검사로 이루어진다. 현재 표준 방법은 MIF(microimmunofluorescence)이나 이 방법은 주관적이고 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 최근을 SPR(surface plasmon resonance) 센서를 이용한 단백질 칩이 감염의 새로운 진단 방법으로 제시되고 있다. 클라미디아 감염의 진단을 위한 단백질 칩 개발을 위하여 금 칩 표면에 세균을 고정하고 클라미디아 균에 대한 항체와 표면 위 세균과의 반응을 SPR 센서를 이용하여 측정하고자 하였다. 방법 : 표면 항원으로 배양한 Chlamydophila pneumoniae LKK1의 EB를 정제하였다. 양전하를 띤 PDDA (polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride)를 이용하여 전하를 이용한 단백질 칩을 제작하였다. 클라미디아 균을 고정시킨 후에 atomic force microscopy를 이용하여 표면을 관찰하였다. 클라미디아 균에 대한 항체를 투여하고 나서 자체 제작한 SPR 센서를 이용하여 항원 항체 반응을 SPR 파장 변화로 측정하였다. 결과 : 양전하를 띤 PDDA 표면위에서 클라미디아 균이 고정되었음을 확인 하였다. 그리고, 항체를 투여한 후에 SPR 파장의 증가를 확인하였다. 파장 변화는 항원의 농도와 관련이 있었다. 결론 : 전하를 이용하여 클라미디아 폐렴균의 EB를 단백질 칩에 고정하였고, 단백질 칩 위에서의 항원 항체 반응을 확인하였다. 비정형 폐렴의 진단에 SPR 센서가 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료되나, 실제 임상 시료에의 적용을 위해서는 좀더 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study, we report a new method for the high contrast imaging of biomolecular interactions at roller printed protein surfaces using thermotropic liquid crystals (LCs). Avidin was roller printed and covalently immobilized onto the obliquely deposited gold surface that was decorated with carboxylic acid-terminated self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). The optical response of LCs on the roller printed film of avidin contrasted sharply with that on the obliquely deposited gold surface. The binding of biotin-peroxidase to the roller printed avidin was then investigated on the obliquely deposited gold substrate. LCs exhibited a non-uniform and random orientation on the roller printed area decorated with the complex of avidin and biotin-peroxidase, while LCs displayed a uniform and planar orientation on the area without roller printed proteins. The orientational transition of LCs from uniform to non-uniform state was triggered by the erasion of nanometer-scale topographies on the roller printed surface after the binding of biotin-peroxidase to the surface-immobilized avidin. The specific binding events of protein-receptor interactions were also confirmed by atomic force microscopy and ellipsometry. These results demonstrate that the roller printing of proteins on obliquely deposited gold substrates could provide a high contrast signal for imaging biomolecular interactions using LC-based sensors.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different surface conditioning methods on the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal brackets bonded directly to gold alloy with chemically cured resin. Methods: Two hundred ten type III gold alloy specimens were randomly divided into six groups according to the combination of three different surface conditioning methods (aluminum oxide sandblasting only, application of a metal primer after aluminum oxide sandblasting, silica coating and silanation) and thermocycling (with thermocycling, without thermocycling). After performing surface conditioning of specimens in accordance with each experimental condition, metal brackets were bonded to all specimens using a chemically cured resin. The SBS was measured at the moment of bracket debonding, and the resin remnants on the specimen surface were evaluated using the adhesive remnant index. Results: Application of metal primer after aluminum oxide sandblasting yielded a higher bond strength than that with aluminum oxide sandblasting alone (p < 0.001), and silica coating and silanation yielded a higher bond strength than that with metal primer after aluminum oxide sandblasting (p < 0.001). There was no significant change in SBS after thermocycling in all groups. Conclusions: With silica coating and silanation, clinically satisfactory bond strength can be attained when metal brackets are directly bonded to gold alloys using a chemically cured resin.

The DNA nucleosides(dA, dC, dG, dT)bound to gold nanoparticles (~13 nm) in aqueous solution has been studied as a probe by the SERS and their coordination structures have been proposed on the basis of them. According to UV-Visible absorption of gold nanoparticles after modifying with DNA nucleosides, the rates of absorption of dA, dC, and dG were much faster than that of dT as monitored by the aggregation kinetics at 700 nm. These data indicated that the nucleosides dA, dC, and dG had a higher affinity for the gold nanoparticles surface than nucleoside dT. As the result of SERS spectra, the binding modes of each of the nucleosides on gold nanoparticles have been assigned. A dA binds to gold nanoparticles via a N(7) nitrogen atom of the imidazole ring, which the C(6)-$NH_2$ group also participates in the coordination process. In the case of dC, it binds to the gold surface via a N(3) nitrogen atom of the pyrimidine ring with a partial contribution from the oxygen of C(2)=O group. A coordination of dG to the gold surfaces is also proposed. Although the dG has the two different nitrogens of a pyrimidine ring and the amino group, the N(1) nitrogen atom of a pyrimidine ring has a higher affinity after the hydrogen migrates to the amino group. Conversely, dT binds via the oxygen of the C(4)=O group of the pyrimidine ring. Accordingly, these data suggest that the nitrogen atom of the imidazole or the pyrimidine ring in the DNA nucleosides will bind more fast to the gold nanoparticles surfaces than the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group.

전극과 용액 사이 계면에서 일어나는 전기화학 반응 현상을 보다 정확하게 이해하기 위하여 전기화학 반응과정을 분광학적 방법으로 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 전극으로도 작동할 뿐만 아니라 표면증강라만산란(SERS) 활성도 강한 금 마이크로쉘을 제조하였다. 기존에 보고된 금 마이크로쉘에서 핵으로 사용한 폴리스티렌의 경우 균일성이 떨어지고 유기용매에 약하며 독성이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 폴리스티렌 보다 균일한 구조를 가지고, 유기 용매에서도 사용 가능하며 무독한 실리카 비드를 이용하여 금 마이크로쉘을 만들고 높은 SERS 신호를 낼 수 있도록 최적화시켰다. $2{\mu}m$ 실리카 비드 표면에 서로 다른 양의 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES)를 반응시켜 얻은 금 마이크로쉘에서 SERS 신호가 가장 월등히 증폭되는 조건을 비교한 결과 1% (v/v) APTES 조건에서 SERS 신호의 증폭이 가장 컸다. 표면증강라만산란 스펙트럼 및 전계방출형 주사전자현미경(FE-SEM) 이미지를 통해 금 마이크로쉘을 분석하였다.

The purpose of this study was to achieve the reduction of the galvanic current between the dental amalgam alloy and gold alloy. In order to measure the galvanic current between these two metals a prep in the size of $4{\times}13mm$ which was filled with amalgam and another prep of $4{\times}2mm$ was filled with gold alloy was made in the acrylic resin. These two preps were then connected to a 2mm diameter copper wire. Using an ammeter to measure the galvanic current, six different kinds of amalgam and gold alloy were immersed in saline solution with approximately 10mm distance between the two alloys. Chemical agents that are thought to reduce the galvanic current such as hydrazine. silver nitrate, potassium chromate, and bonding agents such as Scotch bond 2(3M) and All bond 2(Bisco) were applied to the alloy surface. Cathodic inhibitor such as hydrazine was applied to gold alloy where as anodic inhibitor such as silver nitrate and potassium chromate were applied to amalgam. Both bonding agents, Scotch bond 2(3M) and All bond 2 (Bisco), were applied to amalgam. The following results were obtained when the currency on the coated alloy surface was compared to the uncoated surface. 1. The galvanic currency went down as the time elapsed and after 30 minutes no change was detected. 2. Initial currency was higher in low copper amalgam compared to high copper amalgam. Intitial currency was the highest in low copper lathe-cut amalgam. 3. Group of gold coated with hydrazine had the most reduction in galvanic currency. 4. Group of amalgam coated with silver nitrate or potassium chromate also showed significant reduction in galvanic currency. 5. The bonding agents also helped reduce galvanic currency. 6. Of all the agents used to reduce galvanic currency, silver nitrate showed the best result.

The ideal restorative material should mimic the properties of the tissues it replaces. Dental composite resins have been used widely as restorative materials due to its advantages such as excellent esthetics and ease of manipulation. But inadequate wear resistance has been a major factor limiting the use of composite restorative materials. Improved manufacturing techniques have allowed the development of hybrid composites, with a greater percentage volume filler loading, which have improved physical and mechanical properties. However they are lacking in the study of wear resistance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the wear of human enamel against ceromer by the use of a pin-on-disk type wear testers. Discs of ceromer(Targis ; lvoclar Vivadent, Amherst. NY) and discs of type III gold alloy as a control were used f9r test specimens. Intact cusp of premolar and molar were used for enamel specimens. The wear of enamel was determined by weigh-ing the cusp before and after each test, and the weight converted to volumes by average densi-ty of enamel. Surface profilometer was used to quantify wear of the ceromer and gold specimens. Vicker's hardness tester was used to evaluate the surface hardness of test specimens. The SEM was used to evaluate the wear surfaces The results were as follows; 1. Ceromer produced less enamel wear than gold(p<0.05) 2. The wear volume of ceromer was greater than that of gold(p<0.01) 3. The hardess of ceromer was lower than that of gold, but there was no correlation between the hardness and wear of the ceromer and gold. 4. SEM analysis revealed that there were many voids and microcracks in the wear tract of ceromer In gold group, many minute V-shaped grooves were examined.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cyclic fatigue, bending resistance, and surface roughness of EdgeEvolve (EdgeEndo) and ProTaper Gold (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties) nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary files. Materials and Methods: The instruments (n = 15/each) were tested for cyclic fatigue in single- ($60^{\circ}$ curvature, 5-mm radius) and double-curved (coronal curvature $60^{\circ}$, 5-mm radius, and apical curvature of $30^{\circ}$ and 2-mm radius) artificial canals. The number of cycles to fracture was calculated. The bending resistance of both files were tested using a universal testing machine where the files were bent until reach $45^{\circ}$. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray energy-dispersive spectrometric analysis were used for imaging the fractured segments, while the atomic force microscope was used to quantify the surface roughness average (Ra). Results: EdgeEvolve files exhibited higher cyclic fatigue resistance than ProTaper Gold files in single- and double-curved canals (p < 0.05) and both files were more resistant to cyclic fatigue in single-curved canals than double-curved canals (p < 0.05). EdgeEvolve files exhibited significantly more flexibility than did ProTaper Gold files (p < 0.05). Both files had approximately similar Ni and Ti contents (p > 0.05). EdgeEvolve files showed significantly lower Ra values than ProTaper Gold files (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Within the limitation of this study, EdgeEvolve files exhibited significantly higher cyclic fatigue resistance than ProTaper Gold files in both single- and double-curved canals.
