  • Objective : Tyrosine kinase inhibitors may be useful in the management of cerebral vasospasm. It has not yet been reported whether L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels playa role in tyrosine kinase inhibitors-induced vascular relaxation of cerebral artery. This study was undertaken to clarify the role of L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels in tyrosine kinase inhibitors-induced vascular relaxation, and to investigate the effect of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels currents in freshly isolated smooth muscle cells from rat basilar artery. Methods : The isolation of rat basilar smooth muscle cells was performed by special techniques. The whole cell currents were recorded by whole cell patch clamp technique in freshly isolated smooth muscle cells from rat basilar artery. Results : Patch clamp studies revealed a whole-cell current which resembles the L-type $Ca^{2+}$ current reported by others. The amplitude of this current was decreased by nimodipine and increased by Bay K 8644. Genistein[n=5], tyrphostin A-23[n=3]. A-25[n=6] $30{\mu}M$ reduced the amplitude of the L -type $Ca^{2+}$ channel current in whole cell mode. In contrast, diadzein $30{\mu}M$ [n=3]. inactive analogue of genistein, did not decrease the amplitude of the L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channels current. Conclusion : These results suggest that tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as genistein, tyrphostin A-23, A-25 may relax cerebral vessel through decreasing level of intracellular calcium, [$Ca^{2+}$]i, by inhibition of L-type $Ca^{2+}$ channel.

  • This case report describes a technique in which endodontic treatment and permanent indirect restoration were completed in the same clinical appointment with the aid of a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system. Two patients were diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis of the mandibular first molar. After access preparation, root canals were located, irrigation was performed until bleeding ceased, and the coronal tooth structure was prepared for indirect restoration. Then, utilizing an interim 3-mm build-up of the endodontic access cavity, a hemi-arch digital scan was performed with an intraoral scanner. Subsequent to digital scanning, restoration design was performed simultaneously with the endodontic procedure. The root canals were shaped using the Race system under irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite followed by root canal filling. The pulp chamber was subsequently filled with a 3-mm-thick composite resin restoration mimicking the interim build-up previously utilized to facilitate block milling in the CAD/CAM system. Clinical try-in of the permanent onlay restoration was followed by acid etching, application of a 5th generation adhesive, and cementation of the indirect restoration. Once the restoration was cemented, rubber dam isolation was removed, followed by occlusal adjustment and polishing. After 2 years of follow-up, the restorations were esthetically and functionally satisfactory, without complications.

  • This paper attempts to investigate Korean youth Not in Education, Employment and Training (NEET) and how daily activities and community participation may influence their positive emotions and job search desire. First, we conducted a focus group interview with 16 NEETs who participated in the Kakao NEET Company project. The project allowed participants to experience employment by founding a virtual company in which each participant selected a daily activity to perform as part of the company's operations. Second, the interview responses were categorized and assigned emotional values using the card sorting technique and multi-dimensional analysis (MDS). A total of 11 emotional values were derived through this process. Finally, a social network analysis was conducted in order to measure the density of relations among the emotional values. Results suggest that immersion, confidence, belongingness were the three highest values evaluated by participants. Furthermore, network diagrams imply that the stronger participants perceived social support and belongingness with others, the stronger their responsibility grew, further leading them to establish steady goals. In particular, the high eigenvector score for "desire for job" suggests that emotional values are sequentially connected to the immersion-social support-responsibility-goal-job desire. This sequence suggests that digital services that are developed with the aim to enhance social values such as the Kakao NEET Project may engender motivation and confidence in youth NEETs. The overall results suggest that a systematic approach to policymaking should be considered in order to provide fundamental solutions and expand opportunities for social participation and emotional comfort, as social isolation due to low self-esteem has been reported as one of the reasons for NEETs' failure in the labor market.

  • Actinobacillus succinogenes, a representative succinicacid-producing microorganism, is seriously inhibited by ammonium ions, thereby hampering the industrial use of A. succinogenes with ammonium-ion-based materials as the pH controller. Therefore, this study isolated an ammonium-ion-tolerant mutant of A. succinogenes using a continuous-culture technique in which all the environmental factors, besides the stress (ammonium ions), were kept constant. Instead of operating the mutant-generating system as a nutrient-limited chemostat, it was used as a nutrient-unlimited system, allowing the cells to be continuously cultured at the maximum specific growth rate. The mutants were isolated on agar plates containing the acid-base indicator bromothymol blue and a high level of ammonium ions that would normally kill the parent strain by 100%. When cultured in anaerobic bottles with an ammonium ion concentration of 354 mmol/l, the mutant YZ0819 produced 40.21 g/l of succinic acid with a yield of 80.4%, whereas the parent strain NJ113 was unable to grow. When using $NH_4OH$ to buffer the culture pH in a 3.0 l stirredbioreactor, YZ0819 produced 35.15 g/l of succinic acid with a yield of 70.3%, which was 155% higher than that produced by NJ113. In addition, the morphology of YZ0819 changed in the fermentation broth, as the cells were aggregated from the beginning to the end of the fermentation. Therefore, these results indicate that YZ0819 can efficiently produce succinic acid when using $NH_4OH$ as the pH controller, and the formation of aggregates can be useful for transferring the cells from a cultivation medium for various industrial applications.

  • The diagnosis of brucellosis is currently based on serological and microbiological tests. However, the microbiological isolation and identification have several disadvantages such as time-consuming and laborious, and the serological methods have been reported to cross-react with antigens other than those from Brucella spp. To develop a sensitive and rapid diagnostic method for detection of Brucella species, the genus-specific primers were designed and synthesized from the sequence of gene encoding a 31kDa cell surface protein(BCSP) and a 36kDa outer membrane protein(OMPB) of B abortus. The amplified 711bp and 982bp DNA fragments were only visible in each species of Brucella by PCR method using the BCSP and OMPB primers, respectively. However, PCR product was not obtained with DNA from other Gram-negative bacteria. As little as 1pg of the B abortus genomic DNA could be detected by this PCR method. Using the PCR technique, semen samples from 185 bulls of Brucella-seronegative herds in Cheju island were examined for comparison of this PCR method with conventional methods in 1995. The semen samples from 5 bulls were positive by culture method and PCR, and one was positive and 5 were suspect by semen plasma agglutination test. However, the semen samples obtained from 177 bulls were negative by semen plasma agglutination, culture and PCR methods in 1996. The results of comparison tests suggested that PCR was a better test than agglutination test against semen of bulls. This study indicated that the PCR technique was a valuable for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis, particulary in bull semens.

  • 콘크리트는 경제적이면서 내구적인 건설재료로서 고단열성능을 가지고 있으므로 RC 구조물 뿐 아니라 내외장재에 많이 사용되고 있다. 또한 우수한 방사선 차폐 성능을 가지고 있으므로 원전구조물 및 플랜트 구조에 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 고단열 성능으로 인해 내부에 원전구조물 내부에 화재나 멜트다운(melt-down)과 같은 문제가 발생하면 외부에서 인공적으로 온도를 낮출 방법이 매우 제한적이다. 이 연구는 자철광 골재와 철분말을 이용하여 고열전도 콘크리트를 제조하고 이에 대한 역학적 성능과 열전도 특성을 평가하였다. 자철광 골재를 체적비 최대 42.9%, 철분말을 1.5% 혼입하여 열전도 특성을 분석하였다. 자철광골재의 체적비가 30% 수준까지는 큰 열전도가 평가되지 않았으나, 이후 선형적으로 증가하여 체적비 42%가 되었을 때, 열전도는 2.5배 수준으로 증가하였다. 또한 철분말을 포함한 경우는 포함하지 않은 경우에 비해 열전도가 106~113% 증가하였다. 기존의 열전도 모델(ACI, DEMM, MEM)의 결과들이 실험 결과와 비교되었으며, 이러한 모델들은 자철광 및 철분말이 함유된 고열전도 콘크리트에 대해서도 합리적으로 적용될 수 있음을 검증하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 초고속 정보통신망에 이용할 수 있는 이동수신 시스템 단말기의 RF 핵심부품인 안테나, 저잡음 증폭기, 혼합기, VCO와 베이스밴드 처리부에서의 변복조 시스템을 연구하였다. 고속 디지털 통신을 행하는 경우, 안테나의 대역폭과 멀티패스에 의해 생기는 선택성 페이딩이 커다란 문제가 될 수 있는 데 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 루프구조의 자계 안테나 특성을 갖는 광대역 소형 MSA(Microstrip Antenna)를 설계 제작하였다. 2단 저잡음 증폭기는 잡음 특성이 우수한 NE32584C를 사용하여 첫단에서 0.4dB 이하의 잡음지수를 갖도록 최적화 하였으며, 두 번째 단은 충분한 이득을 얻을 수 있도록 설계하였다. 그 결과 전체 잡음 지수는 중심 주파수에서 약 0.5dB, 이득은 39dB를 얻었다. 분포형 주파수 혼합기는 Dual-Gate GaAs MESFET를 사용하여 입력단에 하이브리드를 사용하지 않고 10dB 이상의 LO/RF 분리도를 얻었고, 회로의 크기를 최소화하였다. 또한, 선형적인 혼합 신호를 출력하여 베이스밴드에서의 신호왜곡을 감소 시켰으며, 주파수 혼합작용과 증폭작용이 동시에 이루어지므로 변환이득을 얻을 수 있고 분포형 증폭이론을 적용하여 광대역특성을 갖도록 설계하였다. VCO(voltage control oscillator)의 설계는 대신호 해석을 통한 발진기 이론을 도입하여 비교적 안정된 신호를 출력할 수 있도록 설계 제작하였다. 베이스밴드 처리부의 변복조 시스템은 선호의 대역폭을 넓히고 내잡음 간섭성 등에 우수한 방식으로 알려져 있는 DS/SS(Direct Sequence/spread Spectrum) 방식의 시스템 설계이론을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 BER 특성이 우수하고 고속 디지털 신호처리에 유리한 DQPSK 변/복조방식을 채택하였으며 PN 부호 발생기는 m-계열 부호를 출력하도록 하였다.
