Background and Purpose: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by a progressive decline in cognition and performance of daily activities. Recent studies have attempted to establish the relationship between AD and sleep. It is believed that patients with AD pathology show altered sleep characteristics years before clinical symptoms appear. This study evaluated the differences in sleep characteristics between cognitively asymptomatic patients with and without some amyloid burden. Methods: Sleep characteristics of 76 subjects aged 60 years or older who were diagnosed with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) but not mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or AD were measured using Fitbit^® Alta HR, a wristwatch-shaped wearable device. Amyloid deposition was evaluated using brain amyloid plaque load (BAPL) and global standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) from fluorine-18 florbetaben positron emission tomography. Each component of measured sleep characteristics was analyzed for statistically significant differences between the amyloid-positive group and the amyloid-negative group. Results: Of the 76 subjects included in this study, 49 (64.5%) were female. The average age of the subjects was 70.72±6.09 years when the study started. 15 subjects were classified as amyloid-positive based on BAPL. The average global SUVR was 1.598±0.263 in the amyloid-positive group and 1.187±0.100 in the amyloid-negative group. Time spent in slow-wave sleep (SWS) was significantly lower in the amyloid-positive group (39.4±13.1 minutes) than in the amyloid-negative group (49.5±13.1 minutes) (p=0.009). Conclusions: This study showed that SWS is different between the elderly SCD population with and without amyloid positivity. How SWS affects AD pathology requires further research.

목적: 다양한 원인으로 발생된 Abfraction 병소가 있는 치아를 금속도재관으로 수복 할 경우, 변연의 위치에 따라 예후가 다양해질 수 있다. 수복물의 장기적 성공을 검증하기 위해서는 응력분포의 분석이 필요하지만 금속도재관이 abfraction 병소의 적응증인 경우 금속도재관이 응력 분포에 미치는 영향을 밝히는 연구는 아직 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 abfraction 병소가 있는 치아를 수복하는 금속도재관이 바람직한 응력 분포를 나타낼 수 있는 조건을 알아 보고자 함이다. 재료 및 방법: 치아, 주위 조직과 금속 도재관의 외형을 반영한 2차원 유한 요소모델을 제작하고 144 N의 편심 교합력 하에서의 응력분포를 유한요소 분석법으로 분석하였다. 금속 도재관의 변연 위치를 쐐기모양의 결손부의 하연에(Group 0), 그리고 결손부의 하연보다 1 mm 하방(Group 1)과 2mm 하방(Group2)에 위치시켰다. 결과: Group 0에서 von Mises stress는 금속 도재관의 변연과 결손부의 첨부에 집중 되었고 협측 변연의 응력은 설측 부위로 분포되었다. Group 1과 Group 2에서의 응력분포양상은 비슷하게 나타났다. 응력은 결손부의 첨부에 집중되지만 협측과 설측의 응력띠는 서로 분리된 양상으로 나타났다. 결론: 금속도재관의 변연을 Abfraction 병소의 하연에 설정할 경우, 금속도재관은 Abfraction 병소의 첨부에 응력을 집중시킨다.

모바일 기반 온실에너지 계산프로그램을 제작하기 위해 먼저 주요 단일 피복재 10종 및 보온재 16종에 대한 열관류율 측정하였다. 또한 피복 및 보온재를 이중 및 삼중으로 다층 설치할 때 열관류율 추정을 위하여 이중 설치시 24조합, 삼중설치 시 59조합에 대한 열관류율을 핫박스를 이용하여 측정하였다. 단일 피복재에서는 PE필름(0.08mm) 대비 PO필름(0.15mm)이 가장 열관류율이 가장 작고 열절감율이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 단일 보온재에서는 열관류율에서는 외피가 있는 5겹의 다겹보온커튼이 가장 보온력이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 단일자재에 대한 열관류율 값과 열저항값을 이용한 피복 및 보온재의 다층설치시의 총 열관류율 값을 산정하였고 실측 값과의 오차를 보정하는 선형회귀식을 도출하였다. 단일재료의 열관류율값에 의한 피복 및 보온재의 다층설치시 열관류율 추정 모형을 개발한 결과 모형평가지수가 0.90(0.5 이상일 때 양호)으로 나타나 추정치가 실측치를 매우 잘 재현 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시험온실을 통한 실증시험결과 예측된 열절감율이 실측치보다 상대오차 2%로 작게 나타나는 것으로 평가되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 기반으로 모바일 기반의 온실 에너지계산 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이 프로그램은 HTML5 표준 웹 기반 모바일 웹 애플리케이션으로 구현하였으며 N-Screen 지원을 통해 다양한 모바일 장치 및 PC 브라우저에서 동작이 가능하게 제작되었다. 또한 온실 피복(12종) 및 보온재(16종)의 조합별 열관류율 및 난방부하계수를 제공하여 농민이 모바일로 온실 위치, 형태 및 피복·보온재 등을 반영한 최대 주야간 냉난방부하 및 기간 난방부하를 산정할 수 있다. 대상 온실의 에너지 소비량에 대한 평가가 가능하며 온실의 지역 및 형태에 따라 피복 및 보온재의 최적 선택으로 에너지 절감형 온실 설계가 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Dislodgement of a crown or extension bridge and the loosening of a retainer of a bridge is a serious clinical problem in fixed restoration. Generally these problems are considered to be associated with deformation of the restoration. During biting, the restoration is subjected to complex forces and deforms considerably within the limit of its elasticity. Deformation of the restoration under the occlusal force induces excessive stress in the cement film, which then leads to the cement fracture. Such a fracture may eventually cause loss of the restoration. Because most of the past retention tests for full veneer crown were done without fatigue loading, they were not exactly simulating intraoral environment. And the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of cyclic cantilever loading on the retentive strength of full veneer crowns depending on different type of cements and taper of prepared abutment. Steel dies with $8^{\circ}\;or\;16^{\circ}$ convergence angle were fabricated through milling and crowns with the same method. These dies and crowns were divided into 8 groups. Group 1 : $16^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with zinc phosphate cement, without loading Group 2 : $16^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with zinc phosphate cement, with loading Group 3 : $8^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with zinc phosphate cement, without loading Group 4 : $8^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with zinc phosphate cement, with loading Group 5 : $16^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with Panavia 21, without loading Group 6 : $16^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with Panavia 21, with loading Group 7 : $8^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with Panavia 21 without loading Group 8 : $8^{\circ}$ taper die, cementation with Panavia 21, with loading After checking the fit of die and crown, the luting surface of dies and inner surface of crowns were air-abraded for 10 seconds. The crowns were cemented to the dies, with cements mixed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. A static load of 5kg was then applied for 10 minutes with static loading device. Twenty-four hours later, group 1, 3, 5, 7 were only thermocycled, group 2, 4, 6, 8 were subjected to cyclic loading after thermocycling. Retentive tests were performed on the Instron machine. From the finding of this study, the following conclusions were obtained 1. Panavia 21 showed significantly higher retentive strength than zinc phosphate cement for all groups (p<0.05). 2. There was a significant difference in the retentive strength between $8^{\circ}\;and\;16^{\circ}$ taper for zinc phosphate cement(p<0.05), but no significant difference for Panavia 21 (p>0.05). 3. Cyclic loading significantly decreased the retentive strength for all groups(p<0.05). 4. For zinc phosphate cement, there was 35% reduction of the retentive strength after loading in the $16^{\circ}$ taper die, 25% in the $8^{\circ}$ taper die, and for Panavia 21, 21% in the $16^{\circ}$ taper die, 18% in the $8^{\circ}$ taper die.

Liposomes as drug delivery system have proved useful carrier for various disease, including cancer. In addition, perfluorocarbon cored microbubbles are utilized in conjunction with high-intensity focused-ultrasound (HIFU) to enable simultaneous diagnosis and treatment. However, microbubbles generally exhibit lower drug loading efficiency, so the need for the development of a novel liposome-based drug delivery material that can efficiently load and deliver drugs to targeted areas via HIFU. This study aims to develop a liposome-based drug delivery material by introducing a substance that can burst liposomes using ultrasound energy and confirm the ability to target tumors using PET imaging. Liposomes (Lipo-DOX, Lipo-DOX-Au, Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD) were synthesized with gold nanoparticles using an avidin-biotin bond, and doxorubicin was mounted inside by pH gradient method. The size distribution was measured by DLS, and encapsulation efficiency of doxorubicin was analyzed by UV-vis spectrometer. The target specificity and cytotoxicity of liposomes were assessed in vitro by glioblastoma U87mg cells to HIFU treatment and analyzed using CCK-8 assay, and fluorescence microscopy at 6-hour intervals for up to 24 hours. For the in vivo study, U87mg model mouse were injected intravenously with 1.48 MBq of ⁶⁴Cu-labeled Lipo-DOX-Au and Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD, and PET images were taken at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours. As a result, the size of liposomes was 108.3 ± 5.0 nm at Lipo-DOX-Au and 94.1 ± 12.2 nm at Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD, and it was observed that doxorubicin was mounted inside the liposome up to 52%. After 6 hours of HIFU treatment, the viability of U87mg cells treated with Lipo-DOX-Au decreased by around 20% compared to Lipo-DOX, and Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD had a higher uptake rate than Lipo-DOX. In vivo study using PET images, it was confirmed that ⁶⁴Cu-Lipo-DOX-Au-RGD was taken up into the tumor immediately after injection and maintained for up to 4 hours. In this study, drugs released from liposomes-gold nanoparticles via ultrasound and RGD targeting were confirmed by non-invasive imaging. In cell-level experiments, HIFU treatment of gold nanoparticle-coupled liposomes significantly decreased tumor survival, while RGD-liposomes exhibited high tumor targeting and rapid release in vivo imaging. It is expected that the combination of these models with ultrasound is served as an effective drug delivery material with therapeutic outcomes.
