This study was conducted to determine the chemical composition and the mechanical properties of four commercially available low gold-based crown and bridge alloy produced in Korea. Four dental casting gold-silver-palladium alloys, i.e., A, B, C and D (code of alloys) were selected for the evaluation of chemical composition, ultimate tensile strength, elongation. values and Vickers hardness. The chemical composition of test specimens was analyzed by both emission spectrography and wet gravitation method with a 1.5gm of low gold ingot. The tensile properties and Vickers hardness was determined with cast specimens treated in following three conditions; as-cast, softening heat treatment and hardening heat treatment. The tensile testing bars were cast in accordance with the model designed by Gettleman and Harrison (1969) which was modified from the A. D. A. Specification No. 14 for dental chromium-cobalt casting alloy. Nine tensile test specimens were made from a split silicone mold for each of the test alloys to the size of 2.5mm in diameter and a gauge length of 10mm. All four alloys were handled in accordance with conventional methods used in Type III gold alloys. Ultimate tensile strength and elongation were measured on an Instron Universal Tensile Testing Machine (Model 1125, Japan) operated at a crosshead rate of 0.1cm/min. Elongation values were measured using Digital Measuring Microscope (MS-152, FUSOH, Japan). Vickers hardness was determined with a Vickers Hardness Tester (Model VKH-l, Japan) at a 1.0kg load on a mounted tensile test specimen. The following results were obtained from this study; 1. All tested alloys were composed of Au, Ag, Pd, Cu, Zn and Fe in common. The composition rate of gold for all four alloys was found in the range of $42{\sim}47$ weight % as shown below. Alloy A; Au 45%, Ag 40.2%, Pd 5.76%, others 9.04%. Alloy B; Au 47.1%, Ag 29.03%, Pd 6.98%, others 16.92%. Alloy C; Au 45%, .Ag 26.9%, Pd 6.83%, others 21.07%. Alloy D; Au 41.8%, Ag 34.4%, Pd 6.95%, others 16.85%. 3. The ultimate tensile strength of the four alloys was in the range of $31{\sim}82kg/mm^2$. The test results were shown in the below order from the highest value; As-cast condition; D, B, C, A. Softening heat treament; B, C, D, A. Hardening heat treatment; D, B, C, A. 4. The test :results of the elongation rate for each alloy were in the range of $0.5{\sim}18%$. The test results were shown in the below order from the highest value; As-cast condition; A, D, B, C. Softening heat treatment; A, C, D, B. Hardening heat treatment; C, D, B, A. 5. Vickers hardness for each of the four alloys was in the range of $120{\sim}230$.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 주조 금속 포스트, 기성 섬유강화형 포스트 그리고 치과영역에서 새롭게 주목 받고 있는 재료인 polyetherketoneketone(PEKK)으로 제작한 포스트로 수복된 근관 치료 치아의 파절 강도 및 파절 양상에 대해 조사하는 것이다. 재료 및 방법: 총 21개의 하악 소구치를 포스트 재료에 따라 각각 7개씩 3개의 군으로 무작위로 분류하였다. 그룹 A는 주조 금속 포스트 코어; 그룹 B는 기성 섬유강화형 포스트 및 레진 코어; 그룹 C는 밀링된 PEKK 포스트 코어로 수복하였다. 모든 시편은 금속관으로 수복하였다. 각각의 시편들을 제작 후 만능 시험기를 사용하여 2 mm/min 속도로 치아 장축에 대해 135도의 정적 하중을 가하여 파절 강도를 측정하고, 파절 양상에 대해 조사하였다. 결과 분석은 유의수준 ${\alpha}=.05$에서 Kruskal-Wallis test 후 사후검정으로 Mann-Whitney U test를 시행하였다. 결과: PEKK 포스트 파절 강도는 주조 금속 포스트와 기성 섬유강화형 포스트에 비해 낮은 값을 보였다. 파절양상에 있어서는 육안과 현미경, 방사선 사진을 통해 살펴본 결과 금속 포스트 코어에서는 치근파절의 양상이 대부분 나타난 반면 기성 섬유 강화형포스트는 포스트의 탈락이 주로 발생하였다. PEKK 포스트 코어의 경우 치아와 포스트가 함께 파절되는 양상이 주로 나타났다. 결론: 치관부 치질이 심하게 손상된 치아 수복 시 적절한 재료의 선택이 필요하며, PEKK 포스트의 임상적 적용을 위해서는 강도 향상에 대한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 보인다.

최근 구조물 기초가 풍화암상에 위치하는 경우가 증가하는 추세로 풍화암상 기초의 적정 설계 지지력을 평가하고자 국내 지반조사서상 제안된 풍화암 기초 허용 지지력을 조사하였다. 조사 결과 몇몇 현장에 제안된 풍화암 허용 지지력은 약 400~700kN/m² 수준으로 그 편차가 큰 편이며 보수적인 값으로 판단되었다. 지반의 기초 허용 지지력은 설계 초기 기초 형식 결정에 중요한 지표로, 그 결정에 따라 공사비 및 공기에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 적정한 풍화암 지반의 허용지지력을 평가하고자 풍화암 지반에 대하여 총 6회의 대형 평판재하시험을 실시하고 지지력 및 침하 특성을 분석하였다. 시험 결과 지지력은 모두 1,500kN/m²이상으로 평가되었으며 기존 지지력 공식과 비교하였을 때 공내재하시험에 의한 지지력 평가식이 본 시험결과와 유사함을 확인하였다. 또한 대형 평판재하시험의 하중-침하 거동 역산에 의한 지반의 탄성계수는 공내재하시험의 탄성계수(E) 값 적용이 적절하다고 평가되었다. 본 연구에서의 대형 평판재하시험 결과 및 국내 타 현장에서의 평판재하시험 사례 등을 종합하여 볼 때 풍화암 허용 지지력은 1,000kN/m² 이상으로 평가된다. 그러나 기초 침하량은 기초 크기 증가에 따라 비례하므로 구조물 허용 침하량 기준에 따라 허용 지지력은 제한되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수치해석적 방법으로 기초 크기 및 풍화암 두께에 따른 기초 예상 침하량을 평가하였으며, 풍화암 지반상 기초 허용지지력이 1,000kN/m² 이상일 수 있는 기초 크기 및 지반 조건을 표로 제안하였다. 이는 기초 설계 초기 기초 형식 결정에 유용하다고 사료된다.

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.

본 연구는 저서성 대형무척추동물을 이용한 RIVPACS 유형의 국내 실정에 맞는 수생태계 예측 및 평가모델을 구축하기 위한 사전 연구로서 수행되었다. 자연상태의 하천인 887개의 참조하천을 선정하고, 참조하천을 저차하천과 고차하천으로 구분한 뒤 random forest 알고리즘을 이용하여 각각의 과에 대하여 예측모델을 구축하였다. 저차하천은 학습과 검증 데이터를 7 : 3의 비율로 나누어 구축하였으며, 고차하천의 경우에는 leave-one-out 방법을 이용하였다. 예측모델에 사용된 환경변수는 비계량 다차원 척도법(NMDS)을 이용하여 선정되었으며, 고도, 경사각, 평년평균기온, 숲의 비율, 하폭, 여울 비율, 하상 구조의 큰돌의 비율로 7개의 변수가 선택되었다. 3,224개의 조사대상 지점을 하천차수에 따른 유형에 따라 구분한 뒤, 각각의 유형에 해당하는 모델을 이용하여 30개 과에 대한 과 단위의 생물상을 예측하였다. 예측된 생물상(E)은 실제 생물상(O)과 생물지수를 이용하여 비교되었다. 생물지수는 BMWPK 지수를 과의 수로 나눈 ASPT를 이용하였다. 그 이후 EQR 지수(O/E)를 이용하여 각 조사지점의 건강성을 평가하였다. 마지막으로, EQR 값을 기존에 이용되고 있는 BMI 값과 비교하였다. 건강성 점수 평가 결과, 실제 군집은 0~20과, 예측된 군집은 0~19과 범위로 예측되어 유사하게 나타났다. 실제 ASPT는 평균 4.82 (±2.04 SD), 예측된 ASPT는 6.30 (±0.79 SD)으로 예측된 값이 더 높게 나타났다. ASPT와 BMI의 비교 결과, 대체로 EQR이 BMI 지수보다 높은 값을 보였다. 이는 참조하천 선정에 있어서 조금 교란된 지점도 자연상태로 가정하여 참조하천으로 이용되었기 때문으로 보인다. RIVPACS 모델은 생태학적 상태에 대한 단순하지만 명확한 진단을 제공해줌으로써 국내 하천 관리에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구는 연구가 미진하였던 우리나라 실정에 맞는 RIVPACS 유형의 평가법을 개발하는 선행 연구로서의 의의가 있다.
