In order to explore the anti-oxidization effect of oriental medicine and cereal medium(OCM) where Tricholoma matsutake mycelia were cultured, measurement of hot water extract and UMPM(extraction method using ultra sonic waves, micro waves, micro bubble) extract, the total polyphenol content of crude polysaccharide from each extract, SOD-like activity, electron donating ability(EDA), xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity, and tyrosinase inhibitory activity was conducted. The total polyphenol content of each extract was found to be 16.36% for hot water extract(HE) group and 15.73% for UMPM extract(UE) group and the amount of crude polysaccharide precipitated into ethanol of extracts was found to be 8.79% for UMPM ethanol extract(UEE) group and 6.48% for hot water ethanol extract(HEE) group. As a result of measurement of SOD-like activity by concentration of each extract, it was found to be 96.17% for UE group, 91.23% for HE group, 91.33% for UEE group, and 87.11% for HEE group at 20 mg/mL. In the case of EDA, it was found to be 47.55% for UE group, 44.93% for HE group, 25.38% for UEE group, and 18.36% for HEE group. And in the cases of the rates of xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity, as the concentration of each extract increased, the inhibition rate increased accordingly. As a result of comparison between hot water extract method and UMPM extract method using extracts obtained from oriental medicine compound medium where Tricholoma matsutake mycelia were cultured, all of the extracts were judged to have a high anti-oxidization effect. In particular, UMPM extracts were found to have higher polyphenol content, SOD-like activity, EDA, xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity compared to hot water extract method. In this regard, extracts obtained from OCM where Tricholoma matsutake mycelia were cultured are considered to have high availability as functional material when and if they are prepared using UMPM extract method.

In this study, an inspection method using a color image is proposed to conduct a real-time inspection of covalent organic framework (COF) films to detect defects, if any. The COF film consists of an upper pattern SR and a lower PI. The proposed system detects the defects of more than 20 ㎛ on the SR surface owing to the characteristics of the pattern, whereas on the PI surface, it detects defects of more than 4 ㎛ by utilizing a micro-optical system. In the existing system, it is difficult for the operator to conduct a full inspection through a high-performance microscope. The proposed inspection algorithm performs the inspection by separating each color component using the color contrast of the pattern on the SR side, and on the PI surface it inspects the bonding state of the mounted chip. As a result, it is possible to confirm the exact location of the defects through the SR and PI surface inspections in the implemented inspection.

Recently, Point-of-care (POC) testing microdevices enable to do the patient monitoring, drug screening, pathogen detection in the outside of hospital. Immunochromatographic strip (ICS) is one of the diagnostic technologies which are widely applied to POC detection. Relatively low cost, simplicity to use, easy interpretations of the diagnostic results and high stability under any circumstances are representative advantages of POC diagnosis. It would provide colorimetric results more conveniently, if the genetic analysis microsystem incorporates the ICS as a detector part. In this work, we develop a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) microfluidic device integrated with a ROSGENE strip for colorimetric influenza H1N1 virus detection. The integrated RT-PCR- ROSGENE device is consist of four functional units which are a pneumatic micropump for sample loading, 2 ${\mu}L$ volume RT-PCR chamber for target gene amplification, a resistance temperature detector (RTD) electrode for temperature control, and a ROSGENE strip for target gene detection. The device was fabricated by combining four layers: First wafer is for RTD microfabrication, the second wafer is for PCR chamber at the bottom and micropump channel on the top, the third is the monolithic PDMS, and the fourth is the manifold for micropump operation. The RT-PCR was performed with subtype specific forward and reverse primers which were labeled with Texas-red, serving as a fluorescent hapten. A biotin-dUTP was used to insert biotin moieties in the PCR amplicons, during the RT-PCR. The RT-PCR amplicons were loaded in the sample application area, and they were conjugated with Au NP-labeled hapten-antibody. The test band embedded with streptavidins captures the biotin labeled amplicons and we can see violet colorimetric signals if the target gene was amplified with the control line. The off-chip RT-PCR amplicons of the influenza H1N1 virus were analyzed with a ROSGENE strip in comparison with an agarose gel electrophoresis. The intensities of test line was proportional to the template quantity and the detection sensitivity of the strip was better than that of the agarose gel. The test band of the ROSGENE strip could be observed with only 10 copies of a RNA template by the naked eyes. For the on-chip RT-PCR-ROSGENE experiments, a RT-PCR cocktail was injected into the chamber from the inlet reservoir to the waste outlet by the micro-pump actuation. After filling without bubbles inside the chamber, a RT-PCR thermal cycling was executed for 2 hours with all the microvalves closed to isolate the PCR chamber. After thermal cycling, the RT-PCR product was delivered to the attached ROSGENE strip through the outlet reservoir. After dropping 40 ${\mu}L$ of an eluant buffer at the end of the strip, the violet test line was detected as a H1N1 virus indicator, while the negative experiment only revealed a control line and while the positive experiment a control and a test line was appeared.

초소형 연료전지용 메탄올-수증기 개질기의 경우 저온상태($250^{\circ}C$ 이하)에서 수증기와 반응하여 개질반응이 일어나기 때문에 수소를 효율적으로 생산할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 개질기에 대하여 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, 개질기 벽면 온도를 100, 140, 180, $220^{\circ}C$로 설정하였고 메탄올 전환율은 각 0, 0.072, 3.83, 46.51%로 나타났다. 다음으로 촉매의 공극률을 0.1, 0.35, 0.6, 0.85로 설정하였고, 메탄올 전환율에는 큰 차이가 없었으나 압력강하 값이 각 4645.97, 59.50, 5.12, 0.45 kPa로 나타났다. 메탄올-수증기 개질기는 $180^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서는 거의 반응하지 않으며 공극률은 개질기를 흐르는 유체가 개질기와 충분히 접촉하여 활성화 에너지를 낮추어 준다면 메탄올 전환율에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 확인하였다.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the effect of missing values in detecting differentially expressed genes in a cDNA microarray experiment in the context of a one sample problem. We conducted a cDNA micro array experiment to detect differentially expressed genes for the metastasis of colorectal cancer based on twenty patients who underwent liver resection due to liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. Total RNAs from metastatic liver tumor and adjacent normal liver tissue from a single patient were labeled with cy5 and cy3, respectively, and competitively hybridized to a cDNA microarray with 7775 human genes. We used $M=log_2(R/G)$ for the signal evaluation, where Rand G denoted the fluorescent intensities of Cy5 and Cy3 dyes, respectively. The statistical problem comprises a one sample test of testing E(M)=0 for each gene and involves multiple tests. The twenty cDNA microarray data would comprise a matrix of dimension 7775 by 20, if there were no missing values. However, missing values occur for various reasons. For each gene, the no missing proportion (NMP) was defined to be the proportion of non-missing values out of twenty. In detecting differentially expressed (DE) genes, we used the genes whose NMP is greater than or equal to 0.4 and then sequentially increased NMP by 0.1 for investigating its effect on the detection of DE genes. For each fixed NMP, we imputed the missing values with K-nearest neighbor method (K=10) and applied the nonparametric t-test of Dudoit et al. (2002), SAM by Tusher et al. (2001) and empirical Bayes procedure by $L\ddot{o}nnstedt$ and Speed (2002) to find out the effect of missing values in the final outcome. These three procedures yielded substantially agreeable result in detecting DE genes. Of these three procedures we used SAM for exploring the acceptable NMP level. The result showed that the optimum no missing proportion (NMP) found in this data set turned out to be 80%. It is more desirable to find the optimum level of NMP for each data set by applying the method described in this note, when the plot of (NMP, Number of overlapping genes) shows a turning point.

Vietnam is a developing country with the rate around 5%-6% per year, especially in urban areas. Rapidly developed urban areas lead to stress for infrastructure and the water supply is also stressed. In Hanoi city, total water capacity from the manufactories is around one million cubic meters per day and almost the entire main water source is groundwater but it is not enough to supply all of Hanoi's people, especially in the summer. A demo project is implemented in Hanoi University of Civil Engineering (HUCE) to produce drinking water by using the rainwater and membrane system and supply for people. In this project, rainwater is collected on the rooftop of the lecture building with an area of around $500m^2$ and $100m^3$ volumetric rainwater tanks. Afterwards, the rainwater is treated by the micro-membrane system and supplied to the tap water. Total cost for construction, technology and operation in the first year is around USD 48,558. In the long-term (15 yr) if HUCE invests in the same system, with $20m^3$ volumetric storage tank, it can provide drinking water for 500 staffs in every year. The cost of investment and operation for this system is lower than 30% compared to buying bottled water with the price USD 1.8/bottle. The drinking water parameters after treatment are pH, 7.3-7.75; turbidity, 0.6-0.8 NUT; total dissolved solids, 60-89 mg/L; coliform, 0; heavy metal similar with water quality in the bottle water in Vietnam.

The purpose of the present study was first, to evaluate the relationship between composite surface conversion and surface discoloration, second, to know if there was difference in surface discoloration between celluloid-strip-finished composite surface and polished surface. In addition, the discoloration of composite surface was also evaluated with visual inspection or digital camera with high resolution monitor, Z100, Tetric Ceram, Spectrum, and Aelitfil were used. The composite surfaces were celluloid-strip finished (group 1), polished (group 2), celluloid-strip finished under nitrogen gas purging (group 3) or only light cured without finishing or polishing under nitrogen gas purging (group 4). The microhardness of each samples were also measured in each group. The samples of each group were also divided into 4 subgroup whether they were immediately placed in disclosing solution (0.2% Elythrosin, pH 7.0) (subgroup1), 1 day after light curing(subgroup 2), 3day after light curing(subgroup 3) or 7 day after light curing(subgroup 4). The computer controlled spectrophotometer was used to determine CIELAB coordinates ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$). The amounts of color difference were compared. The results were as follows; 1. There was no difference in discoloration between celluloid strip finished composite surface and polished surface. 2. The samples discolored more when they were placed in disclosing solution immediately after polymerization than other groups. 3. When the samples were light cured under nitrogen gas purging and without polishing process, they discolored more than other groups even though they showed higher micro hardness. 4. With visual inspection or digital camera, only a limited information was available in detecting composite surface discoloration.

최근 방사선 작업종사자의 외부피폭을 감소시키기 위하여 방사성 의약품 자동 분주장치를 사용하는 병원이 증가하는 추세이다. 방사성 의약품 자동 분주장치는 주사기의 피스톤을 잡아당기는 거리(mm)를 조절하여 방사성 의약품을 자동 분주 하도록 설계되어 있어 장비에 장착한 바이알 내 방사성 의약품의 비방사능이 클 때 소량의 원하는 단위 방사능의 방사성 의약품을 분주하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 방사성 의약품 자동 분주장치의 방사능 차폐능력을 평가하고 장비의 분주 재현성을 극대화하는 최적화된 분주방법을 찾고자 세 가지 실험을 진행하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 자동 분주장치의 사용여부에 따른 방사선 작업종사자의 손과 흉부의 피폭 비교 실험이다. 환자에게 $^{18}F-FDG$ 투여 시 30명은 자동 분주로, 30명은 수동으로 분주하여 투여하고 주사과정에서 방사선 작업종사자가 받는 손과 흉부의 피폭선량을 측정하여 비교하였다. 흉부 피폭선량은 독립표본 t-검정 결과, 분주방법에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었고 손의 피폭선량은 자동 분주 시 오른손 검지에서 11.5배 왼손 검지에서 4.8배 낮게 측정되었다. 두 번째 실험은 자동 분주장치의 분주 용량 재현성 평가이다. 생리식염수가 담긴 바이알을 장비에 장착하고 분주하고자 하는 용량을 1부터 15 mm까지 1 mm씩 증가시키면서 5회씩 분주하였을 때 주사기의 무게를 뺀 분주된 생리식염수만의 무게를 마이크로 저울로 측정하여 표준편차와 변동계수를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 표준편차는 분주하고자 하는 용량의 크기가 커짐에 따라 불규칙하게 나타났지만 변동계수는 감소하는 추세를 나타냈다. 또한 작은 크기의 주사기를 사용하였을 때 더 낮은 표준편차와 변동계수를 나타냈다. 세 번째 실험은 자동 분주장치의 분주 방사능 재현성 평가이다. 장비에 장착된 바이알 내 $^{18}F-FDG$의 비방사능이 다를 때 70 kg 환자를 기준으로 kg당 5.17 MBq (0.14 mCi)인 362.6 MBq (9.8 mCi)${\pm}10%$를 분주 후 동일 용량에서 4회 더 분주 하여 dose calibrator에서 방사능을 측정하고 그 표준편차와 변동계수를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 장비에 장착된 바이알 내 $^{18}F-FDG$의 비방사능이 증가할수록 표준편차와 변동계수 모 두 증가하는 추세를 보였으며 작은 크기의 주사기를 사용할 때 더 낮은 편차를 보였다. 또한 바이알 내 $^{18}F-FDG$의 비방사능이 2 mL 주사기를 사용할 때에는 약 1,020 MBq/mL (27.6 mCi/mL) 이하, 5 mL 주사기를 사용할 때에는 약 915 MBq/mL (24.7 mCi/mL) 이하일 때 변동계수를 10% 미만으로 유지시키며 더욱 유용하게 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

근래에 전남 신안군 대흑산도 및 소흑산도와 제주도에서 보고된 주민의 microfilaria(mf) 양성률은 각각 평균 11.5%, 11.l%, 0.5%였다. 저자 등은 흑산도와 본토와의 중계항인 전남 신안면 도초면(도)에서 1987년 7월 주민들의 microfilaria 양성률을 조사하였다. 이 섬의 해숭암당에서 Aedes togoi가 채집되었다. Mf 조사 방법은 Ae. togoi 서식처에 가까운 4 개 부락(화도, 지남, 지북, 지동)의 주민 195명(남 102, 여 93)을 21:00∼01:00시 사이에 호별 방문하여 채혈하고 후속도말(20mm3)한 후 Giemsa 염색하고 검경하였다. 검사 결과 전 표본이 음성이었으며 이 지역에서 사상충증의 분석는 흑산도에만 한국되어 있을 것으로 추측되었다. 저자 등은 또한 1988년 5월 과거 사상충증의 유행도가 높았던 제주도 남제주군 남원면 태흥리, 서귀포시 하예(예)동, 북제주군 애월읍 구엄리 및 신엄리의 4개 부락에서 주민 357명 (남 167, 여 190)에 대하여 상기 도초도에서와 동일한 방법으로 microfilaria를 조사하였던 바 단 1건의 mf 양성자(52재, 남)가 태흥리에서 발견되었고(1/180 또는 0.6%), mf 밀도는 l1/20 mm3이었다. 상기와 같이 제주도에서 사상충증의 소멸이 관련된 제 인자를 구명코자 1988년 9월 태흥리에서 미충학적 조사와 주민의 생활양태의 일단을 관찰한 결과는 아래와 같다. Ae. togoi의 서식처는 여전히 많아 Ae. togoi 개체군의 절대밀도에는 변동이 없는 것으로 사료되나 주간 가옥 내 휴식 모기 밀도(평균 매 가옥당 0.4)와 인/모기 접촉도(man-mosquito contact)는 부락주거 지역의 확대, 인구의 증가, 생활수준의 향상등에 의해 감소되었음이 나타났다(indoor human biting catches-0.2/man/hour, outdoor-0/man/hour) (상대적 밀도의 감소를 의미). 총 20가구의 표본 조사에서 19가구는 모기향, 에어로졸 사용과 함께 모기장(전가족 보호 가능한 수)을 사용하고 있었으며 이와 같은 양호한 개인 방어(personal protection) 는 옥내 흡혈성(endophagy)을 가진 Ae. togoi의 매개 능률을 결정적으로 저지하는 결과를 가져왔다고 생각된다.
