Introduction : In spite of the use of Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture in the clinics, the scientific evaluation on effects is not enough. Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture is used according to the stimulation of acupuncture point and the chemical effects of Bee Venom. The aims of this study is to investigate the analgegic effects of the Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture, through the change of writhing reflex and the change of c-fos in secondary neurons in the spinal cord. Materials and Methods : Pain animal model was used acetic acid method. The changes of writhing reflex of the mice which were derived pain by injecting acetic acid into the abdomen, after stimulating Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture on Chungwan(CV12) were measured. We used Fos immunohistochemical technique to study the neuronal activity in the spinal cord. Results : 1. Expression of c-fos in superficial dorsal horn(SDH), nucleus proprius(NP) and neck of dorsal hom(N) on 6~9th thoracic spine decreased significantly at $2.5{\times}10-4$g/kg Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture, compared with saline-acetic acid group. 2. The numeral change of Fos-LI neurons on the NP, N, and ventral gray(V) on 6-9th thoracic spine, SDH on 9-11th thoracic spine, and SDH and V on 11~13th thoracic spine decreased significantly at Chungwan(CV12) Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture, compared with saline-acetic acid group. 3. The correlation between the numbers of writhing refleax and Fos-LI neurons in T6-13 segment was statistically statistically significant at Chungwan(CV12) Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture. Conclusion : This study shows that the Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture on Chungwan(CV12) decreases the numbers of Fos-LI neurons. As the analgegic effects of Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture is recognized. Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture treatment is expected for pain modulation. In order to use it in many ways, more researches are needed for the dose and stability of Bee Venom aqua-acupuncture.

The purpose of this morphological studies was to investigate the relation to the meridian, acupoint and nerve. The common locations of the spinal cord and brain projecting to the the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve were observed following injection of transsynaptic neurotropic virus, pseudorabies virus(PRV), into the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve of the rabbit. After survival times of 96 hours following injection of PRV, the thirty rabbits were perfused, and their spinal cord and brain were frozen sectioned($30{\mu}m$). These sections were stained by PRV immunohistochemical staining method, and observed with light microscope. The results were as follows: 1. In spinal cord, PRV labeled neurons projecting to the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve were founded in thoracic, lumbar and sacral spinal segments. Densely labeled areas of each spinal cord segment were founded in lamina V, VII, X, intermediolateral nucleus and dorsal nucleus. 2. In medulla oblongata, The PRV labeled neurons projecting to the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve were founded in the A1 noradrenalin cells/C1 adrenalin cells/caudoventrolateral reticular nucleus, rostroventrolateral reticular nucleus, medullary reticular nucleus, dorsal motor nucleus of vagus nerve, nucleus tractus solitarius, raphe obscurus nucleus, raphe pallidus nucleus, raphe magnus nucleus, gigantocellular nucleus, lateral paragigantocellular nucleus, principal sensory trigeminal nucleus and spinal trigeminal nucleus. 3. In Pons, PRV labeled neurons were parabrachial nucleus, Kolliker-Fuse nucleus and cochlear nucleus. 4. In midbrain, PRV labeled neurons were founded in central gray matter and substantia nigra. 5. In diencephalon, PRV labeled neurons were founded in lateral hypothalamic nucleus, suprachiasmatic nucleus and paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus. 6. In cerebral cortex, PRV labeled neuron were founded in hind limb area.This results suggest that PRV labeled common areas of the spinal cord projecting to the gallbladder, GB34 and common peroneal nerve may be first-order neurons related to the somatic sensory, viscero-somatic sensory and symapathetic preganglionic neurons, and PRV labeled common area of the brain may be first, second and third-order neurons response to the movement of smooth muscle in gallbladder and blood vessels.These PRV labeled neurons may be central autonomic center related to the integration and modulation of reflex control linked to the sensory system monitoring the internal environment, including both visceral sensation and various chemical and physical qualities of the bloodstream. The present morphological results provide that gallbladder meridian and acupoint may be related to the central autonomic pathways.

본 논문에서는 기존의 분포궤환형 레이저 다이오드와 광흡수 변조기(DFB-LD/EA­ MOD.)가 집적된 소자의 낮은 광효율과 수율의 문제점을 해결하고, 동시에 우수한 chirp특성을 나타내는 분포반사기 레이저 다이오드와 광흡수 변조기 (DR-LD/EA­MOD.)가 집적된 소자를 제안하였다. DR-LD/EA­MOD. 집적소자는 제작상으로 DR-LD/EA­MOD. 소자와 비교해서 선택 MOVPE성장시 SiO2 마스크 폭만 조절하는 것 외엔 거의 동일하므로 실용적 측면에서도 우수한다. 집적소자의 정특성 및 동특성을 해석하기 위하여 시간의존성을 갖는 전달 메트릭스방법, 활성층내의 비율 방정식, 변조기의 QCSE효과를 고려한 Schrodinger 방정식을 동시에 풀이하였다. 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ DR-LD/EA­MOD. 집적소자와 종래 사용중인 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ DR-LD/EA­MOD. 집적소자의 성능을 비교 분석하여, LD에 동일전류를 주입할 경우 광변조기의 on상태의 광출력이 약 30%이상 향상되고, 동일 광변조기의 잔류단면반사율에 대해 광출력의 ripple이 적고, 동적파장 천이량이 약 50%이상 줄어듦을 알 수 있었다. 또한 DR-LD/EA­MOD. 소자는 시분할 파장특성은 광 펄스의 leading edge에서 blue-shift, falling edge에서 red-shift 특성이 기대되었다. 이는 일반적인 단일모드 광섬유를 사용하여 광 펄스를 전송할 경우 전송시 펄스 폭이 좁아지는 효과를 주어 이로 인해 전송대역폭을 크게 향상시킬 수 있음을 의미한다.

엑스선유방촬영술은 다양한 유방질환 중 석회화 병변을 진단하는데 가장 효과적인 방법이다. 환자의 의료피폭 저감과 진단에 필요한 최적의 영상을 얻기 위해서는 성능유지를 지속적으로 관리해야 한다. 엑스선유방촬영술에서 엑스선을 발생시키는 양극의 경사각도는 중심선을 기준으로 하기 때문에 조사야 내의 위치에 따라 엑스선관의 유효초점이 미세하게 달라질 수 있어 공간분해능의 차이가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 디지털 엑스선유방촬영장치에서 검출기 위치에 따른 LSF를 측정하여 MTF를 계산함으로써 공간분해능 변화에 대해서 연구하였다. 와이어 직경에 대한 변화에서 $50{\mu}m$ 직경의 와이어의 경우 가장 높은 공간주파수 값을 나타냈으며 검출기의 픽셀보다 작은 직경을 갖는 와이어를 사용해야 검출기의 공간주파수에 따른 응답을 바르게 구할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 조사야 내의 검출기의 위치에 따라서 공간주파수는 중심부분의 와이어가 나머지 와이어보다 우수한 MTF 특성을 보였으나, 그 차이는 미소하게 나타났다. 또한 중앙부분에서 반치폭 또는 유효초첨이 가장 작게 나타났으며 중앙에서 벗어날수록 반치폭이 증가하여 공간분해능이 낮아진 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, $Mn^{2+}$ ion was doped in Y-Ba-Cu-O as an EPR probe. The following samples were prepared by conventional solid-state reaction method : $YBa_{2}Cu_{2.96}Mn_{0.04}O_{7-\delta}$ (MN-I), annealed $YBa_{2}Cu_{2.96}Mn_{0.04}O_{7-\delta}$ (AMN) and $YBa_{2}Cu_{2.94}Mn_{0.06}O_{7-\delta}$ (MN-II). AMN sample was obtained from MN-I by annealing for 1 hr under the Ar gas atmosphere at $600^{\circ}C$. X-band (~9.05 GHz) EPR spectra were measured from 103 K to room temperature by employing a JES-RE3X spectroscopy with a $TE_{0.11}$ cylindrical cavity and 100 kHz modulation frequency. In MN-I we have observed only the $Cu^{2+}$ signal. The fact that no $Mn^{2+}$ signal was observed, in spite of $Mn^{2+}$ being a very sensitive EPR probe, indicates that most likely isolated $Mn^{2+}$ ions don't exist in the MN-I sample. Most probably $Mn^{2+}$ ions in the MN-I sample interact antiferromagnetically and hence are EPR silent. The AMN spectra of at room temperature and 103 K indicate not only the $Cu^{2+}$ signal but also an extra signal, which increases with decreasing temperature. It is suggested that the extra signal originates from Mn ions that were antiferromagnetically coupled before the annealing process. In MN-II, from 103 K to room temperature, also, the extra signal was observed together with the $Cu^{2+}$ signal. The extra signal in MN-II, however, decreases with decreasing temperature and nearly disappears at 103 K. The signal originates from Mn ions in impurity phases that include $Mn^{2+}$ ions. We suppose that there exist at least two $Mn^{2+}$ doped phases in Y-Ba-Cu-O. The $Mn^{2+}$ signal of one phase is undectable at all temperature and that of another phase decreases with decreasing temperature and disappears around 103 K.

Gadolinium oxysulfide (GOS) is regarded as a novel scintillator for the realization of ultra-high spatial resolution in neutron imaging. Monte Carlo simulations of GOS scintillator show that the capability of its spatial resolution is towards the micron level. Through the time-of-flight method, the light output of a GOS scintillator was measured to be 217 photons per captured neutron, ~100 times lower than that of a ZnS/LiF:Ag scintillator. A detector prototype has been developed to evaluate the imaging solution with the GOS scintillator by neutron beam tests. The measured spatial resolution is ~36 ㎛ (28 line pairs/mm) at the modulation transfer function (MTF) of 10%, mainly limited by the low experimental collimation ratio of the beamline. The weak light output of the GOS scintillator requires an enormous increase in the neutron flux to reduce the exposure time for practical applications.

This report constitutes the first demonstration in Korea of single-crystal lateral gallium oxide ($Ga_2O_3$) as a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (MOSFET), with a breakdown voltage in excess of 480 V. A Si-doped channel layer was grown on a Fe-doped semi-insulating ${\beta}-Ga_2O_3$ (010) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. The single-crystal substrate was grown by the edge-defined film-fed growth method and wafered to a size of $10{\times}15mm^2$. Although we fabricated several types of power devices using the same process, we only report the characterization of a finger-type MOSFET with a gate length ($L_g$) of $2{\mu}m$ and a gate-drain spacing ($L_{gd}$) of $5{\mu}m$. The MOSFET showed a favorable drain current modulation according to the gate voltage swing. A complete drain current pinch-off feature was also obtained for $V_{gs}<-6V$, and the three-terminal off-state breakdown voltage was over 482 V in a $L_{gd}=5{\mu}m$ device measured in Fluorinert ambient at $V_{gs}=-10V$. A low drain leakage current of 4.7 nA at the off-state led to a high on/off drain current ratio of approximately $5.3{\times}10^5$. These device characteristics indicate the promising potential of $Ga_2O_3$-based electrical devices for next-generation high-power device applications, such as electrical autonomous vehicles, railroads, photovoltaics, renewable energy, and industry.

FHD급 고해상도 연성 내시경을 설계하기 위한 wedge prism 적용 방법을 연구하였다. 기존의 연성 내시경 광학계의 경우, 넓은 피사계 심도 범위에서 동일한 결상 성능을 얻기 위해 F 넘버를 크게 가져가거나 액체 렌즈를 적용하였다. 하지만 이는 추가적인 light guide와 기구물을 필요로 하여 광학계의 직경이 커진다는 문제점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 연성 내시경 광학계에 2매의 wedge prism을 적용하여 각 물체거리별로 상거리를 조절하였다. 먼저 설계한 내시경 광학계에 2매의 wedge prism을 대칭으로 배치하고, 각 물체거리별로 목표 결상 성능을 만족하는 상거리 값을 도출하였다. 그 다음, 상거리를 조절하기 위한 wedge prism 디센터 값을 도출하였다. 이 두 가지 데이터를 조합하여, 각 물체거리에서 목표 결상 성능을 만족하는 wedge prism 디센터 값을 다중구성으로 적용하였다. Wedge prism을 적용한 최적 설계 결과, 100 mm-7 mm의 전체 피사계 심도 범위에서, 분해능 178 cycles/mm에 대한 변조전달함수 20% 이상의 목표 결상 성능을 만족하였다.
