  • This study was performed to compare the fluoride release pattern and compressive strength of recently developed resin-modified glass ionomers($Ketac^{TM}$ N 100 and Fuji Fil LC) with those of conventional glass ionomer restorative material(Fuji II LC). Fifteen sample discs(6 mm diameter and 1 mm height) were prepared for each tested material. The fluoride release was measured by pH/ISE meter(750P, Istek, Korea) for 31 days. For compressive strength experiment, fifteen cylindrical specimens were prepared for each tested material. Each specimen was submitted to compressive strength testing in an universal testing machine(Kyung-sung Testing Machine Co., Korea) at crosshead speed of 5.0mm/min until failure. The results can be summarized as follows; 1. Fuji Fil LC released the highest amount of fluoride, followed by Fuji II LC and $Ketac^{TM}$ N 100(p<0.05). 2. The compressive strength of Fuji Fil LC was the lowest(p<0.05). However, no significant difference was found from Fuji II LC and $Ketac^{TM}$ N 100(p>0.05). By considering the above results, careful case selection and accurate clinical application is recommended when using $Ketac^{TM}$ N 100 and Fuji Fil LC.

  • The locus coeruleus(LG) is known to be observed a sexual dimorphism in rat CNS. LC is the largest collections of norepinephrine(NE)-containing neurons in the mammalian brain. Especially in rat, all LC neurons contained NE unlike other mammalians, so that specific reactions were found in the tyrosine-hydroxylase(TH) immunoreactive neurons. Sexual dimorphism of rat LC has affected by genes before sex hormone appeared, thereafter affected by sex hormones. In these day, many scientists founded morphological differences between male and female LC morphology, but differences of entire structure was not founded. Thus we investigated sex differences of the LC neuron's morphology in rat by three-dimensional(3-D) reconstruction using Confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM). We reported that neuron's shape was relatively-large multipolar neurons and neuron's processes in dorsal LC proceeded to ventral direction in the male and female rat. Male had a longer anterior-posterior length than female had in dorsal LC. In addition to middle-LC, male rat's LC had a more thicker posterior region but had not viewed in a previous study. In reverse, female rat's LC had a thicker anterior region like a previous study. This results using 3-D reconstruction by CLSM showed that the male's LC was more wide-ranging than female's relatively.

  • We conducted a screening and checked the cultivation methods of lactic acid bacteria, which have anti-atopic dermatitis functions, by determining the lactic acid bacteria's immune enhancement by FACS, and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The increase of Tcell CD4+/CD25+/foxp3+ was bigger in Lactobacillus plantarum than Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (Lc. lactis) and the antimicrobacterial activity against S. aureus was the opposite. The antimicrobial activity of Lb. plantarum culture with medium containing Lc. lactis culture broth was not enhanced, but the antimicrobial activity of Lc. lactis cultured in a medium containing Lb. plantarum culture broth was enhanced. As the optimal method caltivation of Lc. lactis in a medium containing 10% of heat-killed Lb. plantarum culture broth was chosen. By this method, the antibacterial activity of the pure Lc. lactis culture increased sharply at the end of the log phase, while a restraint effect on the growth of S. aureus increased 1.29 times.

  • In this paper, a new variable active inductor using a conventional grounded active inductor with feedback variable LC-resonator is proposed. The grounded active inductor is realized by the gyrator-C topology and the variable LC-resonator is realized by the low-Q spiral inductor and varactor. This variable LC-resonator can compensate the degradation of Q-factor due to parasitic capacitance of a transistor, and the frequency range with high Q-factor is adjustable by resonance frequency adjustment of LC-resonator. The fabricated variable active inductor with Magnachip $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process shows that high-Q frequency range can be adjusted according to varactor control voltage from 4.66 GHz to 5.45 GHz and Q-factor is higher than 50 in the operating frequency ranges. The measured inductance at 4.9GHz can be controlled from 4.12 nH to 5.97 nH by control voltage.

  • The growth of lactic acid bacteria was investigated in liquid broth medium containing organic germanium compound(Ge-132, carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide) in the range of 0.01 to 10mg/ml. Most of all lactic acid bacteria tested were tolerant and could grow better to the high Ge-132 concentration. However, the growth of Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Pediococcus pentosaceus were inhibited in the presence of 10mg/m1 Ge-132. Among 22 strains tested, lactic acid bacteria that were grown to a high degree(about 2 times) by addition of Ge-132 (10mg/ml)were Lactococcus lactis, Lc. cremoris, Lc. diacetilactis, Enterococcus faecium and Streptococcus faecalis. The growth of these strains were markedly accelerated in the culture medium supplemented with 1.omg/ml Ge-132 The optimal concentration of glucose for growth of Lc. lactic was found to be high in medium containing Ge-132 as compared with the case of control. During cultivation viscosity in culture broths of Lc. lactis and Lc. cremoris was rapidly elevated by adding Ge-132 to medium containing high concentration of glucose, and then decreased after incubation of long time. However, in the cultivation of Lc. diacetilactis, E, faecium and S. faecalis, viscosity of culture broths was not increased, even though Ge-132 was shown to be an effective stimulant of growth.

  • The comparative analysis of glycerin in cosmetic samples was carried out by LC/MS and $^1H$ NMR spectrometry. For the LC/MS analysis, aqueous solution was controlled in strong basic condition with sodium hydroxide, and benzoyl chloride was added to the solution for the derivatization of glycerin. The derivative was extracted using pentane and analyzed by the LC/MS. For the $^1H$ NMR analysis, sample was directly dissolved in $D_2O$ solvent without pretreatment. The quantitative analysis of glycerin was done by $^1H$ NMR ERETIC method. The analysis results of LC/MS and $^1H$ NMR showed that the calibration curves were a good linearity with $r^2=0.9991$ in the range of 0.1 to $10{\mu}g/mL$ and $r^2=1$ in the range of 25 to $500{\mu}g/mL$, respectively.

  • We investigated the liquid crystal (LC) alignment phenomena using hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-C:H) thin films. For LC alignment, the surface of a-C:H thin films is treated with low energy ion beam. We investigated the relationship between the properties of a-C:H thin films and LC alignment phenomena.

  • A new CMOS voltage-bias differential LC voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) with active source degeneration is proposed. The proposed degeneration technique preserves the quality factor of the LC-tank which leads to improvement in phase noise of VCO oscillators. The proposed VCO shows the high figure of merit (FOM) with large tuning range, low power, and small chip size compared to those of conventional voltage-bias differential LC-VCO. The proposed VCO implemented in 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS shows the phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset oscillating at 5.03 GHz, tuning range of 12%, occupies 0.15 $mm^2$ of chip area while dissipating 1.44 mW from 0.8 V supply.
