Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the chemical and biological properties of fast-set white mineral trioxide aggregate (FS WMTA), which was WMTA combined with calcium chloride dihydrate ($CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$), compared to that of WMTA. Materials and Methods: Surface morphology, elemental, and phase analysis were examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The cytotoxicity and cell attachment properties were evaluated on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLFs) using methyl-thiazoldiphenyltetrazolium (MTT) assay and under SEM after 24 and 72 hours, respectively. Results: Results showed that the addition of $CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ to WMTA affected the surface morphology and chemical composition. Although FS WMTA exhibited a non-cytotoxic profile, the cell viability values of this combination were lesser than WMTA, and the difference was significant in 7 out of 10 concentrations at the 2 time intervals (p < 0.05). HPLFs adhered over the surface of WMTA and at the interface, after 24 hours of incubation. After 72 hours, there were increased numbers of HPLFs with prominent cytoplasmic processes. Similar findings were observed with FS WMTA, but the cells were not as confluent as with WMTA. Conclusions: The addition of $CaCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ to WMTA affected its chemical properties. The favorable biological profile of FS WMTA towards HPLFs may have a potential impact on its clinical application for repair of perforation defects.

TiNOx multi-layer thin films on aluminum substrates were prepared by DC reactive magnetron sputtering method. 4 multi-layers of $TiO_2$/TiNOx(LMVF)/TiNOx(HMVF)/Ti/substrate have been prepared with ratio of Ar and ($N_2+O_2$) gas mixture. $TiO_2$ of top layer is anti-reflection layer on double TiNOx(LMVF)/TiNOx(HMVF) layers and Ti metal of infrared reflection layer. In this study, the crystallinity and surface properties of TiNOx thin films were estimated by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), respectively. The grain size of TiNOx thin films shows to increase with increasing sputtering power. The composition of thin films has been investigated using electron probe microanalysis(EPMA). The optical properties with wavelength spectrum were recorded by UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry at a range of 200~1,500 nm. The TiNOx multi-layer films show the excellent optical performance beyond 9% of reflectance in those ranges wavelength.

The Cheongju gold-silver mine is located at approximately $36^{\circ}28^{\prime}$north latitude and $127^{\circ}31^{\prime}$ east longitude in the Cheongju City of the Chung cheong bug Do, South Korea. Gold-Silver bearing hydrothermal quartz veins, occur in Cheongju Granit of Jurassic age. K-Ar isotope data for sericite in quartz vein indicate that the Au-Ag mineralization took place in early Cretaceous ($97.5{\pm}2.18$ MA. Park, et ai, 1986). Three stage of mineralization recognized anre, from early to later, (I) Sulide stage: pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite (Hpo), sphalerite, chalcopyrite, electrum and quartz (II) Electrum stage: pyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, electrum and quartz. (III) Silver mineral stage: pyrite, marcasite, pyrrhotite (Mpo), sphalerite, galena, electrum, native silver argentite, fluorite, calcite and quartz. In this paper, mode of occurrences and chemical compositions of electum and native silver have been investigated by means of microscope and EPMA. Electron probe microanalysis shows that an individual grain of electrum is almost homogeneous in composition. Silver content of electrum ranges from 44.7-67.1 atom.%. Gold content of native silver ranges below 0.2 atom. %. Vicker's hardness number (VHN) of electrum and native silver ranges $78.2-81.8kg/mm^{2}$ respectively. The filling temperature of fluid inclusions in quartz ranges from $130-280^{\circ}C$. On the basis of arsenpyrite geothemometer, the equilibrium temperature and sulfur fugacity of the pyrite-arsenopyrite-pyrrhotite(Hpo) assemblage is assumed to be in ange from $300-310^{\circ}C$ and $10^{-10}$ to $10^{-11}$ atm. The estimated ore reserviors on Cheongju mine area are calculated to 8000 T/M, averaing 8.6g/t Au, 27.8 g/t Ag, 1.25% Pb, l.65% Zn.

옥천대 변성 이질암에 분포하는 백운모, 녹니석 및 흑운모는 각기 다른 크기에서 intergrowth와 interlayer 된 것을 전자현미분석(EPMA) 배면 산란 전자상(BEI) 관찰 및 투과 전자현미경(TEM)을 이용한 lattice fringe 상 관찰을 통한 연구에서 밝혔다. 이들 세 광물은 편광현미경 관찰에서도 intergrow된 것이 관찰되며 EPMA 분해능 이하의 크기에서는 interlayer된 것으로 보인다. 다시 말하면, EPMA 분석 자료는 흔히 백운모/녹니석(M/C), 흑운모/녹니 석(B/C), 백운모/파이로필라이트/녹니석(M/Py/C), 흑운모/파이로필라이트/녹니석(B/Py/C) 또는 흑운모/백운모/녹니석(B/M/C)과 같이 두 개 이상의 phyllosilicate 광물의 혼합 형태로 나타난다. BEI 관찰에서는 세 광물(백운모, 녹니석 및 흑운모)이 하나의 입자 안에서 다양한 크기로 섞여 있는 것으로 나타나며, TEM lattice fringe 상 관찰과 제한 시야 전자 회절상 관찰에 의하면 이들 세 광물 사이의 interlayering은 석류석대 변성암에서까지 관찰된다. TEM 관찰 결과 녹니석대 변성암에서는 M/C와 함께 7-$\AA$ layer(사문석, 녹니석의 전신)가 -$10\AA$ layer(백운모) 내에 100~200 $\AA$ 크기로 inter-layer된 것이 밝혀졌다. 흑운모대 변성암으로 가면 7-$\AA$ layer는 크기와 발견 횟수가 감소하고 10-$\AA$ layer는 녹니석(14 $\AA$)과 개별 layer 수준에서 interlayer된다. 석류석대 변성암에서는 7-$\AA$ layer는 더 이상 관찰되지 않으며 10-$\AA$ layer(흑운모)가 녹니석과 50~100 $\AA$ 크기로 interlayer된다.(BEI, TEM). 석류석대 변성암에서는 비교적 큰 크기(1000~2000 $\AA$)의 intergrowth가 흔히 관찰된다. 그러나 세 개의 변성대 암석은 모두 TEM 관찰에서 7-, 10-, 또는 14-$\AA$ layer들이 몇 개의 layer 단위에서 서로 interlayer된 것을 보여준다. 이와 같은 결과는 백운모, 녹니석 및 흑운모와 같은 변성 광물들이 비평형 광물 반응으로 만들어 졌으며 그 결과 불균질한 광물로 되었다는 것을 암시한다.

Root surfaces affected by periodontal disease undergo various forms of changes. Cementum exposure from gingival recession may result in absorption of calcium, phosphorus, and fluoride and subsequent hypermineralization and increased radiodensity. Although some reports have suggested that inorganic content with root cementum might show various changes depending upon age or extent of periodontal disease, but no consensus can be reached regarding the the distribution of various elements. The present study examines the difference in mineral content between healthy and periodontal diseased roots by analyzing three areas per tooth along the root surface in cervico-apical direction using electron probe and scanning electron microscope. Healthy tooth that was extracted for orthodontic purpose was used as control. Experimental teeth include those with periodontal pocket depth exceeding 6mm and those with gingival recession and periodontal pocket depth of 2-4mm. Levels of Ca, P, Mg and Na were measured using wavelength dispersive x-ray spectrometer at three areas per tooth. The examined areas were located apical to cemento-enamel junction in control and periodontal ligament-depleted areas in experimental teeth. The corresponding areas were also examined with scanning electron microscope(x70) The results are as follows. 1. Minerals were detected in order of Ca, P, Mg and Na. In all root surfaces, levels of Ca and P were higher in dentin than in cementum. 2. Level of Mg was twice as high in dentin than in cementum. There was no significant difference in the level of Mg and Na between normal and periodontal diseased roots or between the various locations in the same root. 3. Level of Ca and P in the surface cementum showed no difference between normal and periodontal diseased root, although the areas in dentin with high level of either ion also showed high level of corresponding ion in cementum. 4. Difference in the Ca and P content between various locations within the same root was noted, although no coherent pattern existed. These results suggest that although the mineral content of the root cementum in periodontitis-affected tooth is affected by exogenous ions from saliva and food, but there was no difference in the mineral contents between normal and periodontally diseased root.

The assessment of alveolar bone changes on dental radiographs to indicate progression of periodontal diseases or healing response to therapy is routine procedure. However, the diagnostic accuracy in detecting small alveolar bone changes is very limited. Recently, guided bone regeneration therapy is popular, but the quantification of new bone is somewhat difficult with conventional evaluation method. To quantificate the amount of new bone, various evaluating methods have been introduced including histomorphometry, radiomorphometry, biochemical analysis, X-ray probe microanalysis, scanning electron microscope backscatter method. In this study, guided bone regeneration using resorbable membrane with & without PDGF-BB is quatificated through histomorphmetry to evaluate the efficacy of histomorphometric analysis. 4 beagle dogs and 8 Sprague-Dawley rats were selected as experimental animals. In beagle dog experiment, $4{\times}4mm$ Class II defects were created in maxillary both second premolars, and biodegradable membrane containing PDGF-BB(experimental group) were covered over one defect, and same membrane without PDGF-BB(control group) were covered over the other defect. At 2 weeks, 5 weeks after surgery, each beagle dogs were sacrificed, and the tissues were treated by undecalcified fixation. In Sprague-Dawley rat experiment, 5mm round defect were created in temporal bone, the same membranes were covered on the defects. At 1 week, 2 weeks after surgery, each rats were sacrificed, and undecalcified fixation were taken. After grinding tissue specimen, we analyse them histomorphometrically using image analysis system. In beagle dog 2 weeks specimens, new bone formation area were $0.03123mm^2$ in experimental group,and $0.03012mm^2$ in control group. At 5 weeks specimens, $0.15324mm^2$ in experimental group, and $0.09123mm^2$ in control group. In Sprague-Dawley rat specimens, new bone fomation area were $0.20448mm^2$ in 1 week experimental group, $0.03604mm^2$ in 1 week control group. At 2 weeks specimens, $0.46349mm^2$ in experimental group, $0.17741mm^2$ in control group. The results indicated that histomorphometric analysis of new bone formation using image analysis system is very effective quantification method to evaluate the efficacy of treatment modalities.

Iodine ($I_2$)을 이용한 기상성장법(chemical vapour transport CVT)으로 상용 FeSi$_2$분말로부터 $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ 및 $\alpha$-$FeSi_2$단결정을 제조하였다 $FeSi_2$ 분말은 iodine과 함게 석영 ampoule에 넣은 후 진공배기하여 two-zone 전기로 내에서 기상성장 시켰다. CVT법에 의한 기상성장시 고온부분의 source측 온도는 $1050^{\circ}C$이었으며 $\beta$-$FeSi_2$와 $\alpha$-$FeSi_2$ 단결정이 얻어지는 성장측 온도는 각각 $750^{\circ}C$ 및 $950^{\circ}C$이었다. 이때 얻어진$\alpha$-$FeSi_2$ 단격정은 $l0\times10 \textrm{mm}^2$크기의 판상결정이었고 orthorhombic 구조의 $\beta$-$FeSi_2$, 단결정은 길이 10mm의 needle형 결정임을 알 수 있었다. $\alpha$-$FeSi_2$ 단결정의 조성을 EPMA로 조사한 결과 Si이 화학양론비보다 많은 $FeSi_{2.58}$ 이었다. CVT법으로 합성된 $\beta$-$FeSi_2$ 격정의 승온에 따른 상의 안정성을 조사한 결과 $930^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 $\alpha$-$FeSi_2$로 상변태함을 알 수 있었다.

캐나다 퀘벡주 파커광산(Parker mine)에서 산출된 삼팔면체 운모인 금운모-1M 시료에 대하여 중성자분말회절 분석을 실시하고 리트벨트법을 통해 그 결정구조를 해석하였으며, 특히 X선 분말회절법으로는 해석이 어려운 금운모 구조 내의 OH기의 크기 및 길이, 그리고 방향성을 결정하였다. 연구에 이용된 금운모의 화학조성은 EPMA 분석결과 $K_2$(M $g_{4.46}$F $e_{0.83}$A $l_{0.34}$ $Ti_{0.22}$)(S $i_{5.51}$A $l_{2.49}$) $O_{20}$(O $H_{3.59}$ $F_{0.41}$)로 나타났다. 중성자 분말회절실험은 상온과 극저온(-263$^{\circ}C$)에서 실시하였으며, 회절값으로부터 구한 금운모의 단위포 상수는 a=5.30∼5.31 $\AA$, b=9.18∼9.20 $\AA$, c=10.18∼10.21 $\AA$, $\beta$=100.06∼100.08$^{\circ}$로 결정되었다. R지수의 경우 극저온(-263$^{\circ}C$)에서의 값이 $R_{p}$=2.35%, $R_{wp}$=3.01%로, 상온에서의 값( $R_{p}$=2.51%, $R_{wp}$=3.18%)보다 다소 적게 나타났는데, 이는 낮은 온도에서 온도인자 (B_iso)에 대한 영향이 적어짐에 따라 나타나는 결과로 생각된다. OH기의 결합거리는 상온에서 0.93 $\AA$, 저온에서 1.03 $\AA$, 방향성은 93.4$^{\circ}$∼93.6$^{\circ}$로 측정되었다 극저온에서 상온으로 온도가 상승하면서 OH기의 크기가 감소하는 것은 온도 상승에 따른 진동효과보다는 결정구조내의 수소결합과 관련있는 것으로 해석된다.석된다.석된다.으로 해석된다.석된다.석된다.

PURPOSE. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of annealing on the nanostructure and hardness of Co-Cr metal ceramic samples that were fabricated with a direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Five groups of Co-Cr dental alloy samples were manufactured in a rectangular form measuring $4{\times}2{\times}2$ mm. Samples fabricated by a conventional casting technique (Group I) and prefabricated milling blanks (Group II) were examined as conventional technique groups. The DMLS samples were randomly divided into three groups as not annealed (Group III), annealed in argon atmosphere (Group IV), or annealed in oxygen atmosphere (Group V). The nanostructure was examined with the small-angle X-ray scattering method. The Rockwell hardness test was used to measure the hardness changes in each group, and the means and standard deviations were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA for comparison of continuous variables and Tukey's HSD test was used for post hoc analysis. P values of <.05 were accepted as statistically significant. RESULTS. The general nanostructures of the samples were composed of small spherical entities stacked atop one another in dendritic form. All groups also displayed different hardness values depending on the manufacturing technique. The annealing procedure and environment directly affected both the nanostructure and hardness of the Co-Cr alloy. Group III exhibited a non-homogeneous structure and increased hardness ($48.16{\pm}3.02$ HRC) because the annealing process was incomplete and the inner stress was not relieved. Annealing in argon atmosphere of Group IV not only relieved the inner stresses but also decreased the hardness ($27.40{\pm}3.98$ HRC). The results of fitting function presented that Group IV was the most homogeneous product as the minimum bilayer thickness was measured (7.11 ${\AA}$). CONCLUSION. After the manufacturing with DMLS technique, annealing in argon atmosphere is an essential process for Co-Cr metal ceramic substructures. The dentists should be familiar with the materials that are used in clinic for prosthodontics treatments.

Authors surveyed the ground water near the waste disposed from a fiberglass production factory to confirm the presence of glassfiber in the water and to determine the effect of sampling conditions and storage on the recovery of fibrous materials in the ground water. Sample was collected at every 4 hours for 48 hours consecutively. After finishing the 48 hours sample, water sampling was done from each tap after repeated turning on and off the water for 30 seconds at each time. Sample was collected in the two 1.5 liter polyethylene bottle after vigorously shaking the bottle with the same water several times with the flowing tap water. At each paired sample, one bottle was stored stand still at room temperature, and the other sample was filtered immediately after sampling. Water was filtered on the Mixed Cellulose Ester filter with negative pressure. Each sample was divided into upper and lower layer. The other bottle was stored at room temperature standstill for 7 days and filtered in the same fashion as the other pair of sample did. Each MCE filter was divided into 4 pieces and one piece was treated with acetone to make it transparent. Each prepared sample was observed by two researchers under the light and polarizing microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ra microanalysis. Fibers were classified by the morphology and polarizing pattern under the polarizing microscope, and count was done. 1. There was a significant fluctuation in number of the fibers, but there was no specific demonstrable pattern. 2. Non-polarizing fibers frequently disappeared after 7 days's storage. But cluster of fibers were found at the wall of the same container by scratching technique. 3. Polarizing fibers were usually found in between the filter and the manicure pasted area. Possible explanations for this phenomenon will be that either these fibers are very light or have electronic polarity. Hence, these fibers are not able to be attached on the surface of slide glass. 4. Under the scanning electron microscopic examination, the fibers which are not refractive under the light microscopy were identified as glassfiber. Other fibers which is refractive under the polarizing microscopy were identified as magnesium silicate fibers. It is strongly suggested that development of standardized method of sample collection and measurement of fibrous material in the water is needed.
