In this study, in order to improve the disadvantages of the environmental error of the infusion set that performs infusion therapy in the existing clinical practice and to maximize the user's convenience by miniaturizing the existing infusion pump system, the structure of the muscle pump of the human vein was imitated. As a double check valve method, a method for preventing the backflow of fluid and discharging a constant fluid in one direction by external pressure was proposed. The proposed bio-mimic muscle pump uses a check valve that controls the flow of fluid in one direction and a silicone tube with elasticity, and a chamber is constructed. A peristaltic pump for applying intermittent pressure to the tube chamber was constructed using a multi-cam structure roller. In order to verify the performance of the proposed pump, optimization was performed while changing the number of multi-cam rollers and adjusting the speed of the roller driving motor, and the reproducibility of the instantaneous discharge amount and the continuous discharge amount of the pump was compared and tested. The performance of the muscle pump proposed in this study was verified through experiments that it can inject up to 1L of fluid within 12 hours, and that it is possible to inject the fluid with an accuracy of ±0.1ml. Real-time monitoring of the fluid injection volume through the bio-mimic muscle pump proposed in this study not only increases the convenience of the administrator, but also provides a precise fluid administration environment to more patients at a low cost, and additionally applies bubble detection and occlusion detection technology If so, it is believed that a safer medical environment can be provided to patients.

Recombinant Escherichia coli NZN111 ($F-{\Delta}pfl::Cam$ ldhA::Kan) harboring pTrcML, a plasmid containing the E. coli malic enzyme gene, produced considerable amount of malic acid along with the desired product succinic acid. This seemed to be due to the unmatched redox states between glucose and succinic acid. Therefore, a more reduced carbon substrate sorbitol was examined for the possibility of matching the potential during succinic acid production. When NZN111 (pTrcML) was cultured in LB medium containing 20 g/L sorbitol under $CO_2$ atmosphere, 10 g/L of succinic acid was produced. The apparent yield of succinic acid was 1.1 g succinic acid per g sorbitol, which is 85% of the maximum theoretical yield.

PURPOSE. To investigate the fatigue and fracture resistance of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic molar crowns on dental implants and human teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Molar crowns (n=48; n=8/group) were fabricated of a lithium-disilicate-strengthened lithium aluminosilicate glass ceramic (N). Surfaces were polished (P) or glazed (G). Crowns were tested on human teeth (T) and implant-abutment analogues (I) simulating a chairside (C, crown bonded to abutment) or labside (L, screw channel) procedure for implant groups. Polished/glazed lithium disilicate (E) crowns (n=16) served as reference. Combined thermal cycling and mechanical loading (TC: $3000{\times}5^{\circ}C/3000{\times}55^{\circ}C$; ML: $1.2{\time}10^6$ cycles, 50 N) with antagonistic human molars (groups T) and steatite spheres (groups I) was performed under a chewing simulator. TCML crowns were then analyzed for failures (optical microscopy, SEM) and fracture force was determined. Data were statistically analyzed (Kolmogorow-Smirnov, one-way-ANOVA, post-hoc Bonferroni, ${\alpha}=.05$). RESULTS. All crowns survived TCML and showed small traces of wear. In human teeth groups, fracture forces of N crowns varied between $1214{\pm}293N$ (NPT) and $1324{\pm}498N$ (NGT), differing significantly ($P{\leq}.003$) from the polished reference EPT ($2044{\pm}302N$). Fracture forces in implant groups varied between $934{\pm}154N$ (NGI_L) and $1782{\pm}153N$ (NPI_C), providing higher values for the respective chairside crowns. Differences between polishing and glazing were not significant ($P{\geq}.066$) between crowns of identical materials and abutment support. CONCLUSION. Fracture resistance was influenced by the ceramic material, and partly by the tooth or implant situation and the clinical procedure (chairside/labside). Type of surface finish (polishing/glazing) had no significant influence. Clinical survival of the new glass ceramic may be comparable to lithium disilicate.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the mechanical behavior of human lumbar vertebrae (L3/L4) with and without fusion bone under physiological axial compression. The author has developed the program code to build the patient specific three-dimensional geometric model from the computed tomography (CT) images. The developed three-dimensional model provides the necessary information to the physicians and surgeons to visually interact with the model and if needed, plan the way of surgery in advance. The processed data of the model is versatile and compatible with the commercial computer aided design (CAD), finite element analysis (FEA) software and rapid prototyping technology. The actual physical model is manufactured using rapid prototyping technique to confirm the executable competence of the processed data from the developed program code. The patient specific model of L3/L4 vertebrae is analyzed under compressive loading condition by the FEA approach. By varying the spacer position and fusion bone with and without pedicle instrumentation, simulations were carried out to find the increasing axial stiffness so as to ensure the success of fusion technique. The finding was helpful in positioning the fusion bone graft and to predict the mechanical stress and deformation of body organ indicating the critical section.

We compared the effects of genistein and daidzein on the expression of chemokines, cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$-stimulated human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). TNF-${\alpha}$ exposure significantly increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-l, vascular adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1. Genistein significantly decreased MCP-l and VCAM-l production in a dose-dependent manner, whereas CAM expression was not significantly lowered by genistein treatment. However, daidzein slightly decreased MCP-l production. The effects of genistein and daidzein on MCP-l secretion coincided with mRNA expression. Pre-treatment with either genistein or daidzein elevated eNOS expression and nitric oxide production disturbed by TNF-${\alpha}$ exposure. A low concentration of isoflavones significantly inhibited nuclear factor (NF)${\kappa}$B activation, whereas a high dose slightly ameliorated these inhibitive effects. These results suggest that genistein had a stronger effect on MCP-l and eNOS expression than that of daidzein. Additionally, NF${\kappa}$B transactivation might be partially related to the down-regulation of these mRNAs in TNF-${\alpha}$-stimulated HUVECs.

Inflammation is a frequent radiation-induced following therapeutic irradiation. Since the upregulation of adhesion molecules on endothelial cell surface has been known to be associated with inflammation. interfering with the expression of adhesion molecules is an important therapeutic target. We examined the effect of allicin. a major component of garlic. on the induction of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (lCAM-1) by gamma-irradiation and the mechanisms of its effect in gamma-irradiated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

Purpose of this study is to find out proper means of estimating the urinary mercury excretion in the normal individuals. Whole void volume was collected every 2 hours beginning from 6 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock next morning. Mercury excretion in each urine specimen was measured by NIOSH recommended dithizone colorimetric method (Method No.: P & CAM 145). Urinary concentration of mercury was adjusted by two means: specific gravity of 1.024 and a gram of creatinine excretion per liter of urine comparing the data with the unadjusted ones. Mercury excretion in 24-hour urine specimen was calculated by adding the amounts measured with the hourly collected specimens of each individual. Statistical analysis of the urinary mercury excretion revealed the following results: 1. Frequency distribution curve of mercury excreted in urine of hourly specimens was best fitted to power function expressed in the form of $y=ax^b$. Adjustment of the urinary mercury concentration by creatinine excretion was shown to be superior($y=1674x^{-1.52},\;r^2=0.95$) over nonadjustment($y=2702x^{-1.57},\;r^2=0.92$) and adjustment by specific gravity of 1.024($y=4535x^{-1.66},\;r^2=0.93$). 2. Both log-transformed mercury excretion in hourly voided specimens and mercury excretion itself in 24 hour specimens showed the normal distributions. 3. The frequency distribution of mercury adjusting the urinary concentration of mercury by creatinine excretion was best fitted to a theoretical normal distribution with the sample means and standard deviation than those unadjusted or adjusted with specific gravity of 1.024. 4. Average urinary mercury excretions in 24-hour urine specimen in an individual were as follows: a) Unadjusted mercury excretion mean and standard deviation : $$18.6{\pm}13.68{\mu}gHg/l$$. median : $$16.0\;{\mu}gHg/l$$. range : $$0.0-55.10\;{\mu}gHg/l$$. b) Adjusted with specific gravity mean : $$20.7{\pm}11.76\;{\mu}gHg/l{\times}\frac{0.024}{S.G-1.000}$$ median : $$20.7\;{\mu}gHg/l{\times}\frac{0.024}{S.G-1.000}$$ range : $$0.0-52.9\;{\mu}gHg/l{\times}\frac{0.024}{S.G-1.000}$$ c) Adjusted with creatinine excretion mean and standard deviation : $$10.5{\pm}6.98\;{\mu}gHg/g$$ creatinine/l median : $$9.4\;{\mu}gHg/g$$ creatinine/l range : $$0.0-26.7\;{\mu}gHg/g$$ creatinine/l 5. No statistically significant differences were found between means calculated from 24-hour urine specimens and those from hourly specimens transformed into logarithmic values. (P<0.05).

연구 목적: 본 연구는 다양한 CAD/CAM 시스템에 의해 제작된 지르코니아를 이용한 3-unit 브릿지 코어의 적합도를 "Replica Technique"으로 측정하여 기존 제품들의 내면 및 변연 적합도를 평가해 각 시스템의 적합 특성을 알아보고 임상 적용에 참고 자료로 활용하고자 시행하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 상악 좌측 제1소구치를 결손치로 하고 상악 좌측 견치, 상악 좌측 제2소구치를 지대치로 하는 3-unit 고정성 가공의치를 구현한 티타늄 모형을 제작하고, 40개의 실험 모형을 제작하였다. 각 모형을 10개씩 분류하고 Cerasys$^{(R)}$ (C군), Dentaim$^{(R)}$ (D군), KaVo Everest$^{(R)}$ (K군), $Lava^{TM}$ (L군)시스템으로 각각 지르코니아 코어를 제작하였다. 제작된 코어는 각 지대치마다 내면에 16개의 점을 선택하고 "Replica Technique"을 이용하여 각 포인트의 간극을 측정하였고 부위별 측정치를 비교, 평가하였다. Two-way ANOVA와 Dunnett T3 analysis를 이용하여 통계 분석하였다(${\alpha}$=.05). 결과: 모든 시스템에서 변연의 외부보다 내부에서 조금 더 큰 간극을 보이는 특징을 보였다. K군의 경우 전반적인 적합도는 우수하였으나 절단부위의 간극이 아주 크게 나타나는 특징을 보였고, C군의 경우 변연부위의 간극은 K군와 비교하여 크지만(P<.05) 전반적인 내면 간극이 다른 시스템에 비해 균일한 특징을 보였다. 축벽의 간극에서는 모든 시스템, 모든 절단부위에서 $100\;{\mu}m$ 미만의 우수한 적합도를 보였다. L군와 C군의 경우 변연의 외측부와 내측부의 간극차이가 적었으나 KaVo Everest$^{(R)}$와 Dentaim$^{(R)}$의 경우 마진 내측이 외측보다 간극이 큰 특징을 보였다(P<.05). 변연과 내면적합도로 나누어 분석하였을 때 K군과 C군이 D군과 L군보다 상대적으로 더 좋은 변연 및 내면 적합도를 보였고(P<.05) 두 지대치 중 견치가 제2소구치보다 더 좋은 적합도를 보였다(P<.05). 결론: 대부분의 시스템에서 변연 부위의 적합도는 임상적으로 허용 가능한 범위에 있었다. 변연 간극과 내면 간극 모두에서 지대치 중에 견치에서보다 제2소구치에서 더 큰 간극을 나타내었다. 또한 대부분의 시스템에서 축벽보다는 교합면 쪽 간극이 상대적으로 크게 형성되었다.
