In this paper, we intend to make fringe-field switching (FFS) mode cell by the ion beam (IB) alignment method on the a-C：H thin film, to analyze electro-optical characteristics in this cell. We studied on the suitable inorganic thin film for fringe-field switching (FFS) cell and the aligning capabilities of nematic liquid crystal (NLC) using the alignment material of a-C：H thin film as working gas at 30 W rf bias condition. A high pretilt angle of about 5 $^{\circ}C$ by ion beam (IB) exposure on the a-C：H thin film surface was measured. Consequently, the high pretilt angle and the good thermal stability of LC alignment by the IB alignment method on the a-C：H thin film surface as working gas at 30 W rf bias condition can be achieved. An excellent voltage-transmittance (V -T) and response time curve of the IE-aligned FFS-LCD was observed with oblique IB exposure on the a-C：H thin films. Also, AC V-T hysteresis characteristics of the IB-aligned FFS-LCD with IE exposure on the a-C：H thin films is almost the same as that of the rubbing-aligned FFS cell on a polyimide (PI) surface.

Objective : Laminoplasty is an effective surgical method for treating cervical degenerative disease. However, postoperative complications such as kyphosis, restriction of neck motion, and instability are often reported. Despite sufficient preoperative lordosis, this procedure often aggravates the lordotic curve of the cervical spine and straightens cervical alignment. Hence, it is important to examine preoperative risk factors associated with postoperative kyphotic alignment changes. Our study aimed to investigate preoperative radiologic parameters associated with kyphotic deformity post laminoplasty. Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 49 patients who underwent open door laminoplasty for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) or ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) at Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital between January 2011 and December 2015. Inclusion criteria were as follows : 1) preoperative diagnosis of OPLL or CSM, 2) no previous history of cervical spinal surgery, cervical trauma, tumor, or infection, 3) minimum of one-year follow-up post laminoplasty with proper radiologic examinations performed in outpatient clinics, and 4) cases showing C7 and T1 vertebral body in the preoperative cervical sagittal plane. The radiologic parameters examined included C2-C7 Cobb angles, T1 slope, C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA), range of motion (ROM) from C2-C7, segmental instability, and T2 signal change observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Clinical factors examined included preoperative modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scores, disease classification, duration of symptoms, and the range of operation levels. Results : Mean preoperative sagittal alignment was $13.01^{\circ}$ lordotic; $6.94^{\circ}$ lordotic postoperatively. Percentage of postoperative kyphosis was 80%. Patients were subdivided into two groups according to postoperative Cobb angle change; a control group (n=22) and kyphotic group (n=27). The kyphotic group consisted of patients with more than $5^{\circ}$ kyphotic angle change postoperatively. There were no differences in age, sex, C2-C7 Cobb angle, T1 slope, C2-C7 SVA, ROM from C2-C7, segmental instability, or T2 signal change. Multiple regression analysis revealed T1 slope had a strong relationship with postoperative cervical kyphosis. Likewise, correlation analysis revealed there was a statistical significance between T1 slope and postoperative Cobb angle change (p=0.035), and that there was a statistically significant relationship between T1 slope and C2-C7 SVA (p=0.001). Patients with higher preoperative T1 slope demonstrated loss of lordotic curvature postoperatively. Conclusion : Laminoplasty has a high probability of aggravating sagittal balance of the cervical spine. T1 slope is a good predictor of postoperative kyphotic changes of the cervical spine. Similarly, T1 slope is strongly correlated with C2-C7 SVA.

This study was performed to investigate the role of pH and temperature postmortem, and to demonstrate the importance of these factors in determining meat quality. Postmortem pH_45min (pH at 45 min postmortem or initial pH) via analysis of Pearson’s correlation showed high positive correlation with pH change pH_c24 (pH change from pH_45min to pH_24h postmortem). However, postmortem pH after 24 h (pH_24h or ultimate pH) had a high negative correlation with pH change, pH_c24, CIE L*, and protein content. Initial temperature postmortem (T_1h ) was positively associated with a change in temperature from 45 min to 24 h postmortem (T_c24) and cooking loss, but negatively correlated with water holding capacity. Temperature at 24 h postmortem (T_24h) was negatively associated with T_c24. Collectively, these results indicate that higher initial pH was associated with higher pH_c24, T_1h, and T_c24. However, higher initial pH was associated with a reduction in carcass weight, backfat thickness, CIE a* and b*, water holding capacity, collagen and fat content, drip loss, and cooking loss as well as decreased shear force. In contrast, CIE a* and b*, drip loss, cooking loss, and shear force in higher ultimate pH was showed by a similar pattern to higher initial pH, whereas pH_c24, carcass weight, backfat thickness, water holding capacity, fat content, moisture content, protein content, T_1h, T_24h, and T_c24 were exhibited by completely differential patterns (p<0.05). Therefore, we suggest that initial pH, ultimate pH, and temperatures postmortem are important factors in determining the meat quality of pork.

본 연구에서는 발효콩 유지가 비만 억제 및 예방, 3T3-L1 지방전구세포의 성장 및 분화 억제 효과를 관찰하기 위해 실험을 실시하였다. 3T3-L1 지방전구세포에 발효콩 유지를 처리하여 세포생존율을 측정한 결과, NF군 $100{\mu}g/mL$에서 3T3-L1 지방전구세포의 생존율을 유의적으로 감소시켜 세포독성이 나타났다. 분화를 유도한 다음 세포 내 triglyceride 함량을 측정한 결과, 비발효콩 유지(NF) 처리군보다 발효콩 유지처리군에서 triglyceride 함량 저해 효과가 높게 나타났으며, 특히 BS, LBA, BLO군 순으로 높게 나타났다. 또한, BS군, LBA군, BLO군 순으로 지방세포분화 관련 유전자인 $PPAR{\gamma}$의 mRNA 발현을 농도 의존적으로 감소시켰으며, $PPAR{\gamma}$ 유전자와 상관관계에 있는 $C/EBP{\alpha}$ 유전자도 농도 의존적으로 감소시켰다. 그리고 adiponectin 유전자의 발현은 농도 의존적으로 증가시켰다. 고지방식이로 비만을 유도한 C57BL/6J 생쥐를 이용하여 항비만 활성을 관찰한 결과, 총 체중증가량은 대조군에 비해 4주째에 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 혈액 내 지질농도를 측정한 결과 중성지방, 총콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 LBA, BLO군에서 유의적으로 낮게 나타났으며(P<0.05), HDL-콜레스테롤 함량은 대조군보다 증가하였으나 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 동맥경화 지수인 AI(atherogenic index)는 대조군보다 감소시키는 경향을 보였다. 비만관련 호르몬인 adiponectin의 농도는 SO, BS, LBA, BLO군에서 유의적으로 증가하였고(P<0.05), insulin 농도는 유의적으로 감소하였다(P<0.05). Leptin은 대조군보다 감소하였으나 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 발효콩 유지가 3T3-L1 지방전구세포의 mRNA 단계에서부터 지방분화를 억제하여 항비만 활성을 가지고 있는 것으로 추정되고, 고지방식이로 비만이 유도된 C57BL/6J 생쥐에서 총체중을 감소시키고, 혈액 내 지질농도인 triglyceride와 총콜레스테롤, LDL-콜레스테롤 및 HDL-콜레스테롤과 비만관련 호르몬인 adiponectin, insulin, leptin을 조절하여 항비만 활성을 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 결과로 발효콩 유지가 항비만 생리활성을 나타내는 새로운 식품 소재로서 이를 활용한 기능성 식품 개발의 가능성이 있다고 생각된다.

자연산 바지락 (Ruditapes philippinarum) 개체군의 생식 주기와 수온-먹이섭이 및 절식조건에 따른 생식소 발달의 인위적 제어 결과를 조직학적 관찰에 의해 조사하였다. 곰소만 자연산 바지락 개체군의 생식소 발달에 따른 암수 개체의 생식주기는 초기활성기 (4-5월), 완숙기 (4-8월), 부분산란기 (5-10월), 퇴화 및 비활성기 (8-3월)의 연속적인 5단계로 구분할 수 있었다. 수온에 따른 생식소 발달의 인위적 제어 실험에서, 바지락은 저수온 (10$^{\circ}C$) 에 의해 억제되었다. 19$^{\circ}C$ 및 22$^{\circ}C$의 고수온에 노출시킨 실험구에서 생식소 발달은 고수온에 의해 촉진되었는데, 자연산 개체군의 것보다 약 1달 빠르게 나타났다. 고수온-먹이섭이 실험구에서, 작은개체 실험구의 생식소 발달 단계가 큰개체구 실험보다 더 빠르게 나타났으며, 저수온 (10$^{\circ}C$)의 것보다 더 빠르게 나타났다 (p=0.01). 암, 수 모든 개체들에서 고수온 (22-28$^{\circ}C$)-절식구 실험구의 생식소 발달관계가 고수온-섭이 실험구의 것들보다 더 빠른 것으로 나타났다. (paired sample t-test, p=0.004). 42일 경과 후 암컷과 수컷의 먹이섭이-고수온 실험구에서, 고수온-작은개체 실험구 조건이 큰개체의 생식소 발달보다 더 민감하게 나타났다. 그러나 저수온-수컷개체 실험구는 암컷 개체들의 실험구보다 반응이 좀 더 민감하게 나타났다. 전반적으로 고수온 실험구의 성적성숙이 저수온구보다 빠르게 나타났으며, 암수 개체 간에 유의한 차이를 보였다 (paired sample t-test, p=0.001). 42일 경과 후 절식 실험구에서, 고수온-수컷 큰개체 실험구의 생식소 발달이 고수온-암컷 큰개체 실험구의 것들보다 빠르게 나타났다. 그러나 작은 개체들의 생식소 발달 단계는 먹이섭이 실험구와 절식 실험구사이에 동일한 양상을 보였다. 산란 성기중 암수 개체들의 경우는 고수온-절식 실험구의 생식소 발달이 암컷과 수컷의 성 및 개체의 크기에 관계없이 고수온-먹이섭이 실험구의 것들보다 더 빠르게 나타났으며, 암수간 유의한 차를 보였다(paired sample t-test, p=0.004).

Nine newly isolated mushroom strains were tested to assess both their zinc tolerance and potential for zinc removal from an aqueous solution. Four strains of ectomycorrhizal fungi, namely Clavariadelphus truncatus (T 192), Rhizopogon roseolus (T 21), Lepista nuda (T 373), and Tricholoma equestre (T 174), along with five strains of white rot fungi, Lenzites betulina (S 2), Trametes hirsuta (T 587), Ganoderma spp. (T 99), Polyporus arcularius (T 438), and Ganoderma carnosum (M 88), were investigated using zinc-amended solid and liquid media. Their biosorption properties were also determined. The colony diameter and dry weight were used as tolerance indices for fungal growth. C. truncatus and T. equestre were not strongly inhibited at the highest concentrations of (225 mg/l) zinc in solid media. The most tolerant four strains with solid media, C. truncatus, G carnosum, T. hirsuta, and T. equestre, were then chosen for tolerance tests in liquid media. An ectomycorrhizal strain, C. truncatus, was also detected as the most tolerant strain in liquid media. However, the metal-tolerant strains demonstrated weak activity in the biosorption studies. In contrast, the highest biosorption activity was presented by a more sensitive strain, G. carnosum. In addition, seven different biosorbent types from G. carnosum (M 88) were compared for their Zn (II) biosorption in batch experiments.

Effects of neutron irradiation on the superconducting properties of the undoped $MgB_2$ and the carbon(C)-doped $MgB_2$ bulk superconductors, prepared by an in situ reaction process using Mg and B powder, were investigated. The prepared $MgB_2$ samples were neutron-irradiated at the neutron fluence of $10^{16}-10^{18}n/cm^2$ in a Hanaro nuclear reactor of KAERI involving both fast and thermal neutron. The magnetic moment-temperature (M-T) and magnetization-magnetic field (M-H) curves before/after irradiation were obtained using magnetic property measurement system (MPMS). The superconducting critical temperature ($T_c$) and transition width were estimated from the M-T curves and critical current density ($J_c$) was estimated from the M-H curves using a Bean's critical model. The $T_cs$ of the undoped $MgB_2$ and C-doped $MgB_2$ before irradiation were 36.9-37.0 K and 36.6-36.8 K, respectively. The $T_cs$ decreased to 33.2 K and 31.6 K, respectively after irradiation at neutron fluence of $7.16{\times}10^{17}n/cm^2$, and decreased to 22.6 K and 24.0 K, respectively, at $3.13{\times}10^{18}n/cm^2$. The $J_c$ cross-over was observed at the high magnetic field of 5.2 T for the undoped $MgB_2$ irradiated at $7.16{\times}10^{17}n/cm^2$. The $T_c$ and $J_c$ variation after the neutron irradiation at various neutron fluences were explained in terms of the defect formation in the superconducting matrix by neutron irradiation.
